Heidelberg researchers have succeeded in preventing cystic fibrosis lung disease in an animal model by spraying amiloride into the lungs of young mice. This is the first therapy to successfully attack the root cause of the widespread hereditary disease in a living organism.
When mice are given inhalation treatment with the drug in the first days of life, no thick mucus forms in the lungs and airway inflammation and chronic lung damage can be prevented. The researchers at Department of Pediatrics at Heidelberg University Hospital have demonstrated for the first time that preventative therapy of lung disease is possible for cystic fibrosis. Their study was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
The most frequent genetic disease has no causal therapy thus far
Cystic fibrosis (CF) or mucosviscidosis or is the most common life-shortening genetic disease in Western Europe and North America. In Germany, some 8,000 people suffer from this disease; another five percent of the population i.e. some four million people are healthy carriers who can pass on the disease, usually without knowing.
The cause of all symptoms of cystic fibrosis are defects at a certain locations in the genetic makeup a mutation in what is called the CFTR ("Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator" gene) leads to loss of salt and water and thus dehydration of the surfaces of the mucous membranes in the lungs, intestines, and other organs. Thick, sticky mucus forms clumps that cannot be easily cleared. This leads to chronic airway inflammation and other serious respiratory and digestive disorders. There is currently no treatment available that targets airway surface dehydration, i.e. the root cause of the disease; so far it is only possible to treat symptoms such as pneumonia, respiratory distress, and lack of oxygen.
Amiloride inhibits "hyperactive" sodium channels and prevents the mu

JSF Tables with databases in NetBeans 6.0
This is an addition to the JSF Visual Web JavaServer Faces in NetBeans Tutorial. For this information to be useful to you you will have to have a JSF Visual Web JavaServer Faces project created. To create the project please refer to the earlier blog. This is the project I will be working with in this tutorial.
Empty Table
This is what you would do to start with most of the components in JSF. First open Page1.jsp and you will see the Design selected with the nice grid.
The next step is to select the Table from the Palette and click in the Designer. At this point you will have a page that looks like this.
If you run the project at this point you will get a page that looks just like the Designer above. This is because the default table data object DefaultTableDataProvider provides some data by default. The next step is to put some data into the table that is not simply the default.
Database data in Table
For this part you will need a database connection defined, please check here to create a connection. Once the database is defined open the page designer with the table in it and select the Services tab. For this tutorial I have a database named JSFTutorial in MySQL with a table named address.
I will be using the address table, since it is the only table I currently have defined. To bind the JSF table to the address table simply drag and drop the table from the Services tab to the JSF table in the designer. You will now be asked to choose a target, select table1. Once do this you will see the table change to reflect the same number of rows as the address table with the same names as the columns.
That is all there is to binding a database to a JSF Table in NetBeans 6.0.
You can now change the column names and the table name by simply clicking on them or selecting the JSP tab of Page1 and change the headerText attributes. You can also select the table and check out the properties and see what they do, pagination is really cool. Next time I will discuss how to use different types of data for the table.

by rlarrabee - 2008-06-01 19:33I have a JSF table that exceeds my page width. How can I make the table scroll horizontally?
by ddevore - 2008-02-13 15:37The next blog on working with POJOs has been posted. It can be found here.
by ddevore - 2008-02-10 08:13Funny you should say that. My next blog is exactly that topic because I agree with you, it is convenient to bind directly to a DB but in the world of services and large applications we work more with objects and not directly with DBs. Give me a day or two and you will have the information you need.
by ndario - 2008-02-10 02:41It is quite handy to bind table directly to db, but I'd rather have binding to some service layer which gets data from db, webservice, filesystem... Is anyone willing to provide an example of binding table (or any other JSF component) to a result of my service method? I guess instance of service class should be injected somehow, right? I am new to JSF and worked a lot with servlets and struts, and would like to start working with JSF. Any hints would be appreciated. thanx

Takashi Miike's The Happiness of the Katakuris begins with a woman probing a freshly delivered bowl of soup only to fish out a miniature angel/gargoyle/teletubby? whose presence seems to instigate the onscreen conversion of the world into claymation before tearing out the poor woman's uvula and tossing it into the air to float away like a heart-shaped balloon. This is a film that, even in an oeuvre that includes works as disparate as gross out shocker Visitor Q and the kid friendly The Great Yokai War, is pure unpredictable insanity that baffles as much as it entertains. Essentially a horror comedy musical, Miike's genre mashing farce is loosely based on Kim Jee-woon's The Quiet Family, in which a family owns a remotely located bed and breakfast whose customers always happen to die during their stay, yet takes that simple premise to its outermost extremes in the silliest of ways. »

Japan, 1962
In the early 17th century, the Iyi clan abides by the bushido code to the letter in all its facets, sepukku, the traditional samurai suicide ceremony by which a warrior disembowels himself before being decapitated, being no exception. It is on a bright sunny day that one Tsugumo Hanshirô (Tatsuya Nakadai) arrives at the Iyi estate, currently run by Saitô Kageyu (Rentarô Mikuni), to plead for space in order to perform a honourable act of seppuku. He claims that the regional peace has led to unemployment, and rather live like a dog, suicide as ordained by bushido seems preferable. Knowledgeable of the occurrences of bluff requests made by other ronin samurai that were merely looking for pittance, Saitô is suspicious of Hanshirô's motives and begins to relate a recent story of another, younger former warrior (Akira Ishihama »

Fantastic experience, lovely food, friendly staff. The star talk was my favourite part, even with the clouds in the sky he managed a very interesting and funny talk.
Another great experience to see the outback, the meal was fantastic and we met some lovely people that made our night.
What a great event. Very professionally done. Although there were a lot of fellow tourist at this event I never ever thought I was not being attended to personally. We were well informed of the sequence of the night as we travelled to our destination. Arriving we first were served chilled champagne and canapes and given plenty of time to watch and photograph the sunset and changing colours of Uluru. We then made our way to our beautiffully presented tables within a clearing in the middle of the red dirt desert. Although cold there was sufficient heaters to keep us warm. With Uluru in the background we were served a plentiful and gourmet meal together all the refreshments we could drink. Personal waiters at the tables made it a special and very enjoyable meal. Although we had some cloud cover we also had an equal amount of brillant stars. Due to the professionalism, care and commitment of the staff it was a very memorable experience I will never forget. Highly reccomended.
The tour was very well organised and professional. The staff were all friendly, the food was lovely and service was great. It is a great idea of being seated with other people you don't know, it's very interesting talking and discussing various things and meeting people from other places. We did learn a lot about the stars and could see them clearly. It's seems a popular tour and I could see why.
United Kingdom
Excellent tour. Never seen so many stars, absolutely amazing. Thoroughly recommend this experience.
We had a wonderful evening. Met two very lovely and hilarious northern Irish ladies. Great Craic! Would highly recommend it!
This tour was one of the highlights of the 3 months we spent in Australia. The only negative was the flies which are a bit beyond your control.
Anyone who spends the time and money to travel to Uluru and does not go to this dinner will have missed a truly wonderful experience. The service, the food, the social experience and most of all the emotional aspect of this dinner all combine to make it a delightful evening. Do not miss it!
This is where I checked off "seeing the Southern Cross" from my bucket list! We had such an enjoyable evening and recommend that if you make it as far as Ayers Rock, then you absolutely must book the Sounds of Silence dinner. I am a bit picky with what I will eat so Kangaroo and Crocodile were avoided but there was plenty to drink and eat of all sorts; however, you do not attend this dinner for the food. Make plans to attend if you have a desire to see stars and a part of the universe you can not normally see if you live in the northern hemisphere or in any city where there is simply too much light. The astronomers were informative and we learned how to find land (sky)marks in the southern sky. There is a good telescope to see things up close once the lecture is over. On our remaining nights in Australia and New Zealand, we were able to find the stars, galaxies, and planets that we learned about at the dinner. This is a MUST DO on your visit to Ayers Rock.
A very special evening.
One of the most magical nights. Really spectacular.
Excellent evening and easy to chat to people only just met for that night. No problems with catering for vegetarians. Great time.
Staggeringly beautiful surroundings in which to dine! We will never forget this experience. Sunset over the Olgas was magic and Uluru was awesome, even in the distance. The meal itself was delicious; the hosts were great; service was great (my wine glass was never empty) and we LOVED it- thank you!
This was the most romantic, fun and beautiful dinning experience. we have never seen so many stars in our life and the food was great! When you get dropped off by the buses you are greeted with champagne to walk down to the area where they have an open bar and you watch the sunset.
If anyone is going to Ayres Rock then I would definitely recommentd this. Everything was excellently handled, food was good and the staff were very attentive. Not many stars out that night as cloudy but that couldn't be helped.
It was a beautiful experience..we enjoyed it! Well worth the money for the experience alone..food was good
Jim and Janet
Amazing, unique setting. Opening champagne reception well done. Good photo ops. Star-gazing talk fascinating. Buffet meal quite good. Would have liked more didgeridoo music.
The experience was amazing. We had a great dinner and entertainment ,the number of stars was amazing, we would book again next time we go back. The staff were fun and wonderful. Thank you for making our trip the best ever.
One of my most favorite memories: sitting in total silence and listening to nature, watching the stars. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, the food was impeccable and the service amazing. Word of caution: turn your light low to distract the bugs.
We all enjoyed the experience imensily I would recommend it to everyone visiting Ayes Rock.
A highlight of our trip, great chance to meet other travellers from around the world
sound of silence was amazing. Excellent food and wine. We enjoyed the company at our table especially the two German teenagers who were travelling with their parents they were very interesting to talk with. We would recommend dinner under the stars
Absolutely stunning and one of the best things we've done in Australia. Superb views of the outback, great staff, good food and the stargazing talk was quite spectacular.
Beautiful setting, lovely cocktail reception and amazing dinner. Star gazing was wonderful!! Highlight of our trip - highly reommended
The most breathtaking sunset of my life. Awe inspiring experience, great hospitality from the team. If you go to Uluru do not miss this experience. Due to clouds we saw no stars, but the stargazing experience was still made very entertaining by the stargazer

continued "Every time a college freshman takes a placement exam that first month on campus, he or she is being tested against the very expectations in the Common Core. Every time a high school graduate faces a daunting task on a challenging job … he or she is being tested against the Common Core," King said in a statement. "And quite frankly, our students are not doing well enough on those real world tests."
The Common Core State Standards are largely adopted nationwide, with 45 states, the District of Columbia, four territories and the Department of Defense Education Activity at different stages of implementing the new standards.
But NYSUT argues the picture in the classroom is much different. According to a poll conducted by the union earlier this school year that included 1,600 teachers statewide outside of New York City, two-thirds of respondents claimed they were "pressured to move too fast to teach the new standards, while 65 percent said their students lacked access to textbooks and materials aligned to the new standards."
An explosion of standardized testing
Before implementing changes under the No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law by President George Bush in January 2002, New York had far less standardized testing – just tests in fourth and in eighth grade for English and math.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, states had to test students annually in English and math from grades three through eight by the 2005-06 school year. By the 2007-08 school years, students were required to test students once in science at elementary, middle and high school levels. The Common Core tests will replace the No Child Left Behind testing.
Including the state-developed Regents tests now necessary for graduation, students taking all the required tests will by their senior year in high school have completed at least 74 hours of standardized testing, according to an October NYSUT release.

moreWhat are the key ideas that underpin learning from experience? How do we learn from experience? How does context and purpose influence learning? How does experience impact on individual and group learning? How can we help others to learn from their experience? "Using Experience for Learning" reflects current interest in the importance of experience in informal and formal learning, whether it be applied for course credit, new forms of learning in the workplace, or acknowledging autonomous learning outside educational institutions. It also emphasizes the role of personal experience in learning: ideas are not separate from experience; relationships and personal interests impact on learning; and emotions have a vital part to play in intellectual learning. All the contributors write themselves into their chapters, giving an autobiographical account of how their experiences have influenced their learning and what has led them to their current views and practice. "Using Experience for Learning" brings together a wide range of perspectives and conceptual frameworks with contributors from four continents, and should be a valuable addition to the field of experiential learning. less

Made from grapes farmed on highly sustainable vineyard sites in Paso Robles and produced in small lots, each wine is distinctly different and represents an opportunity to try cult wines at addictive pricing.
Occasionally we find a wine that is so special, it deserves its own label. These are wines in limited supply. Wines with a pedigree worthy of being called out.

This is a "yummy" style pinot that is made from Coastal Pinot Noir grapes from both the North Coast and the Central Coast. While it is all California our goal is to create a varietaly correct pinot noir with balance. We work with two producers in Sonoma, one in Santa Barbara and one in Santa Lucia as a source. We believe this wine takes the best aspects of those regions to create a beautifully balanced pinot.
Each Treasure Hunter wine goes through a pain-staking process of examination from our panel of nine called The De-Vine Nine. Made up of top sommeliers, winemakers and restaurateurs, they are the best of the best and they pour through hundreds of wines before they are deemed worthy. Each wine is a small one-time offering and represents an extraordinary opportunity to drink seminal wines of great importance. Liquid rubies and drops of gold.

The researchers have validated a reliable screening technique using mass spectrometry technology that identifies common biological markers - or biomarkers - between the interaction of host (humans) and the parasite. They found that in 99% of cases, the parasites left very specific markers. 'It's as if the parasite left his own signature in the infected person, which could help to diagnose Chagas disease" says Dr. Ndao.
"The use of these biomarkers is a revolution in diagnostic confidence and protection of possible contamination of blood banks," says Dr. Ndao "Moreover, these biomarkers have potential therapeutic effects of paving the way for the development of vaccines for Chagas, which could be extended to other parasitic diseases."

The Dye Assault Matrix is the Ferrari of woodsball, tactical, and scenario paintball markers. Dye took ten year's worth of their Matrix series tournament-winning research and engineering and applied it to woodsball. The result is the Dye DAM, a high performance tactical marker that gives the hardcore woodsball/ scenario player more capabilities than ever before!
The Dye Assault Matrix comes First Strike ready and feeds from both a magazine and a traditional paintball loader. The player can switch between feed systems with a flick of a switch. You can use a hopper for paintballs and have a magazine full of First Strike rounds, or just run the hopper. Or go hardcore milsim with just magazines. The choice is yours; Dye lets you decide. With the push of a button you can switch between semi auto, 3 round burst and full auto.
Dye listened to the players when they engineered the Dye Assault Matrix. It weighs in at 4.76 pounds unloaded so it feels milsim solid in your hands but still light enough for all day carry. The player can run with or without a stock, lengthen or shorten the barrel shroud and accessorize to suit their game style with the DAM's top, bottom and side mount tactical rails. The Dye Assault Matrix is truly an all mission scenario paintball gun.

NSWC Port Hueneme Director Speaks at Local Unmanned Vehicle Awareness Event
As the manager of one of the Navy's largest unmanned vehicles—the Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS)—Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Port Hueneme Division Technical Director Tim Troske received an invitation by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), Channel Islands Chapter to provide a keynote presentation at their October 9 event.
Troske spent the evening discussing the purpose and mission of the decommissioned Spruance Class Destroyer, ex-USS Paul F. Foster (EDD 964), and how the Navy remotely operates the ship and its combat systems for testing purposes.
"The Navy identified a need to do more thorough testing of self-defense weapon systems," said Troske. "We needed a platform to install these systems, be able to fire targets at it for testing, and not put people in harm's way. Nothing was really satisfying this need, which is why we have the Paul Foster."
Since arriving to Port Hueneme in March of 2003, the test ship's mission quickly evolved into providing an at-sea, remotely controlled, self-defense weapons engineering, test and evaluation platform for the purpose of conducting advanced weapons evaluation without risk to personnel.
Troske went on to explain the variety of combat system elements found aboard the ship, including sensors, defense and cooperative engagement systems, weapons, and communication technology, which were installed for testing purposes.
"The ship looks the same as the day we got her," he said. "But we've installed self-defense weapon system elements to replicate multiple ship class configurations."
After the event, Troske encouraged questions from the audience so as to create a discussion of how far unmanned vehicles have come to date, and where they are headed in the future.
The AUVSI meets monthly to provide a forum for learning, testing tactics and technologies, and developing systems in an effort to encourage the advancement of unmanned systems. In addition, the group develops partnerships and synergistic relationships to understand, promote and publicize the benefits and capabilities offered by unmanned systems and technologies.
NSWC Port Hueneme Division, commanded by Capt. Bill DeBow, is a field activity of Naval Sea Systems Command and provides the United States Navy global fleet with weapon system in-service engineering, logistics, and test and evaluation. NSWC Port Hueneme Division is located at Naval Base Ventura County, Calif., where it employs more than 1,900 personnel.

Student, teacher injured in Atlanta school shooting
Earlier in the day, an assistant district attorney was shot dead near the North Texas county courthouse.On December 14, 2012, twenty children and six adult victims were fatally shot by a gunman -- who later killed himself -- at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in the town of Newtown in the US state of Connecticut. Earlier in the day, the assailant killed his mother in another location. There have been reports that the twenty-year-old killer, Adam Lanza, suffered from a personality disorder, was on the antidepressant Prozac, and was fond of first-person shooter games. Every year, more than 30,000 people are shot and killed in the US. The US averages 87 gun deaths each day as a function of gun violence, with an average of 183 injured, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the Centers for Disease Control. The year 2012 was a record setting year for gun sales in the US. About 4.5 million firearms are sold annually in the United States at a cost of 2 to 3 billion dollars. MAM/MHB

Inky Mouse and her friends, Bee and Snake would like to welcome you to our Jolly Learning website, the home of Jolly Phonics, Jolly Grammar and Jolly Music.
Learn about the principles of Jolly Phonics, Jolly Grammar and Jolly Music, and how these child-centred, multi-sensory approaches make learning fun and easy for children all over the world.
Discover our leading educational books and software which are used around the world for the teaching of literacy and music skills to young children in our Products section. Find clear detailed information on all our products, including which items can be used at school or in the home, as well as book previews and demos of our software.
See how key literacy skills can be nurtured at home, with My Jolly Phonics.
Jolly Learning is an independent British publisher, with the commitment of creating and developing educational material to inspire children to learn and be the best they can.
It's true – teaching children all the letter sounds gives them a flying start – they are much swifter in learning to read, with few, if any, failing. Yet parents often just teach them the alphabet.
"It's our mindset", says Chris Jolly, "we just think of starting with the alphabet". And, until now, there have never been any letter sound board books for young children – just alphabet ones.
But now there is! The new letter sound board book has just been launched (in British English. The American English edition is available from January 2016).
Jolly Learning has launched a new public private partnership with Universal Learning Solutions; Jolly Futures. This innovative new partnership aims to improve literacy levels of early graders in the developing world, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The launch event of the new partnership was held at The Royal Overseas League in London, with industry professionals; such as representatives from the British Council, the Burundi High Commissioner and Cambridge Education making an appearance.

"I have learned everything I know from Sara, Sue and the children that I have taught over the past 15 years and I desperately wanted other teachers to experience what I did first hand: that light-bulb moment when you think "Aha!" now I know what all the fuss is about. Jolly Grammar…where have you been all my life?!"
Beki Wilson – Jolly Phonics Professional Trainer in Spain
"Beki and I have spent the last 15 years teaching Jolly Phonics and Grammar to young children in Spain. Here English is taught in most schools with many classrooms following bilingual curriculums. One of the first well-known projects was the British Council/MEC Bilingual programme, which pioneered in Spain and Europe in 1996.
"Over the past few years we have been working especially hard with schools, academies, Universities and some very dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. We all have one thing in common. We want to make learning English fun.
"With Sara here, it gives people the chance to learn about Jolly Grammar years from the person who actually wrote the course: in other words, "right from the horses mouth"! Beki assures me that there is really nothing more inspiring than training with the fantastic, amazing, wonderful Sara (I am the Adjective Snake after all!)"
Over the past few months, many teachers from all over Spain had written to us in order to be able to join this amazing event. The majority of them already had some prior knowledge of Jolly Phonics and Grammar as many schools and teachers now use the programme.
It is now well known in Spain for the positive results that it gets when teaching English as a second language. Although Jolly Phonics is a literacy programme aimed at native English speakers, the multi-sensory approach to teaching young children how to read and write is extremely effective. It can be adapted for any age group and within any education setting, and now many language schools and academies are also using Jolly Phonics as a complimentary part of their English classes. As Jolly Phonics helps children to be able to recognize, read, write and say different letter sounds correctly, this also helps non-native English speakers with their pronunciation skills. This is especially important here in Spain as many young children are expected to do external English language exams (such as Cambridge and Trinity). Other subjects, such as Art and Science, are also taught in English in Primary.
Teachers, parents and students travelled from all over Spain in order to attend the Training Seminar with Sara, who had arrived the Wednesday before in Madrid! The course content during the day was based on Jolly Grammar 1 & 2; these are the next two years following on from Jolly Phonics. Sara took us on a wonderful journey on how to make spelling, punctuation and grammar fun for young children, sharing many simple games and activities which any busy teacher or parent can do or make. Sentence structure was made fun with the use of a washing line and we did a Make and Take Kite activity for Magic "e". Vocabulary, nouns and comprehension activities were demonstrated through letter sound sorting boxes and picture cards. Sara also discussed creative ways to improve and adapt lessons in order to improve punctuation; for example, long and short vowels were demonstrated by using a rubber glove!
The Seminar was a success with lots of smiles at the end of the day and positive feedback. The most important part of this has been to expose teachers and parents to how a multi-sensory approach to teaching can work in any context, with children from all over the world regardless of their educational background. I, as always, continue to learn many new things from Sara, which I find both motivating and invaluable when teaching and training.

The pFR-Luc plasmid, the pFA2-cJun fusion trans-activator plasmid, and the pFC-MEKK control plasmid were cotransfected into HeLa cells. The pFA2-Jun fusion trans-activator plasmid is specific for the c-Jun N-terminal kinase10,16 (JNK) signaling pathway and the pFC-MEKK control plasmid constitutively expresses MEKK kinase17. The MEKK protein, a known JNK activator, increased the expression of the luciferase gene by more than 100-fold (Figure 2A), indicating activation of the GAL4-cJun fusion protein.5,10 The pFC2-dbd plasmid could not be activated by overexpression of the MEKK protein.
The specificity of the pFA2-CREB fusion activator plasmid is shown in Figure 2B. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a known activator of the CREB protein, and the pFC-PKA plasmid expresses this active kinase.14,18 When the pFA2-CREB plasmid was cotransfected with the pFC-PKA plasmid and the pFR-Luc reporter plasmid, a 100-fold increase in luciferase expression was seen. As expected, cotransfection of the pFR-Luc and pFC-PKA plasmids with the pFC2-dbd plasmid yielded only background levels of luciferase activity.
In a similar fashion, the specificity of the pFA2-Elk1 fusion activator plasmid
is demonstrated (Figure
2C). Since the MEK1 protein is a known upstream activator of the Elk1

Dogged volunteering defines Oklahoma City Realtor of Year
Maggie Shirk is a successful Realtor, but she isn't the highest-volume sales agent in town. She's been at it for 14 years — but others around here have been selling homes longer.
The other day, she didn't have any listings of her own, but said she was busy enough showing potential buyers houses being handled by other Realtors. So, she said, it floored her to learn she'd been named as Realtor of the Year for 2008 by the Oklahoma City Metro Association of Realtors. "Totally shocked me," said Shirk, who is a sales agent with EXIT Bob Linn Real Estate in Oklahoma City. "I had no idea."
Put on the spotShirk, 68, found out the way every organization hopes its award recipients will learn about such honors: on the spot, during a ceremony, the kind where a handful of people who do know can let the cat out of the bag too early with one incautious whisper. In this case, it was at the annual association membership luncheon in December. Nobody whispered. Not even John Shirk, her husband, who knew. "Marolyn Pryor, last year's president," she recalled, "was standing there talking about the Realtor of the Year and what this person had done and had accomplished, and I was looking around trying to figure out who it was and all of a sudden she said 'Maggie Shirk.' " The next second was a long one. She wondered if she'd heard right. "Everybody started looking at me and applauding, and so I figured she really did say, 'Maggie Shirk,' " she said, laughing.
Giving serviceHelping people buy and sell homes is just part of being a Realtor, and it's just part of what goes into being considered for the honor. Since 1995, Shirk has served on 11 association committees as well as on the board of directors for two years.

Group needs direction
Recently, medical marijuana use has been repeatedly attacked in both local media in Tulare County and even statewide, with disinformation that teaches us of the apparent "inherent violence" in the medical marijuana community.
What a lot of these stories are not telling you is that these are not your normal patients, and in many cases not legal patients at all.
A problem legitimate cardholders face is that we are often associated with these types of organizations. And when we do abide by the law for our medical needs legitimately, the law is often very vague and almost seems written to include fines or even incarceration for what are real and serious health issues and needs of the citizens.
Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act, cannot be forgotten and the medicinal qualities of marijuana cannot be forgotten. I was paralyzed from the waist down and was mentally and emotionally shackled by harmful narcotic pharmaceutical drugs until I started using medical marijuana.
What I propose as a simple citizen of Tulare County, and a cardholder, is a group of legitimate citizens and cardholders to help direct our own future, with our absolute No. 1 priority being public and community safety.
If true and legal cardholders met regularly, we could easily ratify ideas that could not only improve the safety of our communities by stopping crime by reducing prices, but also introduce new ideas working with the state to monitor and perhaps even tax medical marijuana in the future.
Either way, our industry needs legitimate direction and organization. As a citizen and cardholder, I am prepared to guide our community in any positive way possible.

The growing amount of data gathered from social media sites, vendors and data warehouses is providing new opportunities for political parties to reach constituents in a very personal way.
"Big data" — huge and hugely complex sets of information — has been an abundant source of marketing fodder for businesses trying to read the minds of consumers and understand what they most care about. The success of President Obama's 2012 campaign was partly owed to its big data "dream team," and now political parties at the state level are adopting related strategies.
David Ferguson, executive director of the Maryland Republican Party is forging ahead with new techniques, which include recording information about individual voters, such as whether they have a gun license or a boat permit and what magazines they subscribe to.
"The record-keeping side of big data helps build stronger relationships, and it helps politicians seem smarter than they are," Mr. Ferguson said. "I think people appreciate that — people appreciate that extra mile."
For instance, if a person belongs to the National Rifle Association, holds gun and hunting licenses and subscribes to a hunting magazine, then gun rights issues would be emphasized when reaching that person about a specific election or candidate. The analysis targets individuals and neighborhoods but also looks at broader demographics. Particularly in a blue state like Maryland, Republican grass-roots campaigning is key for shifting the political status quo, officials believe.
They focus on obtaining data on issues that resonate within particular neighborhoods. They can then urge residents to vote for their local candidates by highlighting candidates' views on these issues. Party officials hope to begin with a local approach and then work more broadly to statewide issues and races.
"Instead of top-down, it's bottom-up, and a rising tide lifts all boats," Mr. Ferguson said.
Personal data can be obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, purchased from vendors or simply collected from public documents, such as real estate records.
Political organizations can consider wealth and propensity to donate before asking for money. This targeting might be directed toward individuals or groups. Mr. Ferguson said that after implementing data analytics, the Maryland Republican Party is $17,000 ahead of its fundraising schedule.
While the use of big data in politics is increasingly prevalent, it's still a tool that some shy away from discussing.
The Republican Party of Virginia confirmed it has begun incorporating data analytics, but Executive Director Anthony Reedy said he did not "feel comfortable talking about it."
State-level Democrats in Maryland and Virginia said they have used similar data-analysis tools but also declined to comment specifically on their methods.
Software developed by companies including Pennsylvania-based BehaviorMatrix extracts microdata from digital media ranging from Twitter to comment sections on news websites. BehaviorMatrix hires specialists in natural language processing and computational linguistics, fields of computer science that apply artificial intelligence to derive useful meaning and insights from the avalanche of online communication.
"In the new wave of digital politics, you can understand what the voters are really feeling about a particular candidate," BehaviorMatrix Chairman and CEO Bill Thompson said.
Online activity can reveal what people like and think better than traditional methods, Mr. Thompson added. "Polls introduce bias. If you're familiar with the organization presenting the poll, you may give it the answer you think it's looking for," he said.
