A Basque Cannabis Association Accused of Drug Trafficking for Growing Marijuana for its Members
On 29 September a trial commenced at the Provincial Court of San Sebastian, in which the president and treasurer of the Urola Cannabis Association of Experimental Studies face a possible sentence of 3 ½ years of jail time, plus a hefty fine, unjustly accused of drug trafficking. Since its founding this Guipuzcoan club has acted in accordance with good practices, as this case demonstrates, once again, that the regulation of these types of groups is essential. At Dinafem we wish to support this association in these important judicial proceedings and to share the story behind them.
This Study Debunks the Arguments Used to Condemn Cannabis
We often hear in the mass media that marijuana is as addictive as heroin; that its legalisation increases the number of users, and that is a "gateway drug" to other substances. Although arguments like this can he heard daily, few of them are backed up by science. Their diffusion in the press, however, gives rise to preconceptions against the plant, ignorance amongst users, and the promotion of prohibitionist policies. This study rebuts these prejudices.
The Middle East and its Conflicts: The Cannabis Trade in the Midst of War
The war in Syria has almost completely destroyed the country while destabilising its neighbouring countries, a situation that has spurred the governments in the region to ignore things like the cultivation of cannabis, previously strictly watched for and punished. Very close by, the continuing conflict between Israel and Palestine maintains the blockade and the closing of borders, forcing Israelis to grow their own marijuana, which previously came in over the Egyptian border.
Morocco: When Secrecy and Drug Trafficking Reign in "The Country of Hashish"
Marijuana harvests are the main livelihoods for many Moroccan growers, who live in fear and secrecy, though largely condoned by their own government: their green fields are visible to the authorities, but they only enforce the law on isolated occasions. It is a contradictory situation that has been perpetuated for some time now, and several political parties are finally daring to question it. Will they manage to turn things around in this leading international cannabis producer?
Alaska's New Recreational Marijuana Law: Road Safety, Licenses and a Control Board
Alaska legalised marijuana for recreational use a few months ago, and now the state has created a control board that will be in charge of drafting the laws and regulations related to the cannabis sector. The new Board will offer advice on road safety, determine the amount of marijuana that one can possess, and where it can be consumed. We share with you everything about marijuana in one of the harshest locations on the planet, with a cannabis consumption rate doubling that of the rest of North America.
Terpenes: The "Secret" Ingredient Determining Marijuana's Scent and Therapeutic Properties
When we talk about cannabis, its applications and research into it, the first terms that come to mind are ones like cannabinoid and THC. These are words that we usually associate with the plant's key characteristics, and we even tend to assume that they are decisive. But we err when we overlook one of the elements that really determines the final result with marijuana: terpenes.
Syria: ISIS against the Growing of Marijuana
ISIS jihadists in northern Syria and Iraq are not only terrorizing the native population; now, they are burning the marijuana crops Syrian farmers produce in order to eke out a living in a country devastated by war. The members of the Islamic State argue that cannabis is harmful, and must be destroyed. But the growers' resistance is staunch.

How to Get Your Hands on a Good Number of Charas Before Your Harvest
Early autumn marks the beginning of the harvest season. Many months of growing have already passed, and the penetrating smell which your plants emanate is probably making you eager to savour the fruits of your labour. Due to the drying, there's still a while until you can do that, but there is a shortcut: prepare your own Charas, a fresh, high-quality hashish that will give you a glimpse of your crops, and a well-deserved reward for all your efforts.
Cannabis Awareness to Prevent Environmental Pollution and Grow Greener Grass
You've always tried to smoke in harmony with nature, honouring the green colour of your cherished marijuana, and harbouring the dream of supporting the struggle for ecology and respect for the environment. But in many places, the ban on cannabis hampers this natural harmony, which gets substituted by the air pollution produced by inappropriate cultivation, forced to hide between four walls and affecting the crops.

When Grass Is a Source of Inspiration: the Rich Creative Worlds of 7 Toker Artists
No one can define exactly what inspiration is: A kind of mental switch? A sudden moment of epiphany, of illumination? Or a lucid understanding that seeps into the cracks of our brain after countless hours of work? It may be that everyone feels and experiences it in a different way. Many great figures in history, however, have had their particular "muses" which bolstered their creative processes and furnished their works with transcendental dimensions. And marijuana has been one of them. A stimulant to find inspiration used by such illustrious figures as Shakespeare, whose dreamlike and magical world featured some unmistakable traces of grass; Carl Sagan, who acknowledged having used it to create his educational series Cosmos; or the Jazz giant Louis Armstrong, who spent his entire career as a saxophonist making use of cannabis for relaxation and inspiration.
Taking Advantage of Marijuana to Enjoy Better Sex
Marijuana is a powerful aphrodisiac that augments pleasure during sex. It makes us more sensitive, frees us from complexes, makes us focus more, and prolongs orgasms. In fact in India it has been used in Tantric rituals for more than 3000 years. Other more recent studiesclaim that it hampers erections. How can we use marijuana to enjoy better sex?

Believe it or not, marijuana is illegal in Jamaica and they are struggling to decriminalise it
The 'Rasta Revolution' of the 70's, led by Bob Marley with music as its flag, broadcasted worldwide the idea that Jamaica was a marijuana paradise. Nothing could be further from the truth. As in many other places around the globe, the island country prohibits the consumption and sale of cannabis. However, now that the ban has been lifted in the U.S., authorities have proposed to reform the law.
Ross Rebagliati: From First Olympic Snowboarding Champion to Cannabis Entrepreneur
Nagano 1998. The first Olympics to feature Men's Giant Slalom in snowboarding. Ross Rebagliati was the winner of the gold medal, a 27-year-old Canadian and the pride on an entire country. Shortly thereafter, they took away his medal because he tested positive for marijuana in a doping test. Panic ensued and they snatched away everything he had worked for over the last four years. However, the medal was returned after an appeal because THC is not on the IOC's list of banned substances. Now it is, although the World Anti-Doping Agency recently increased the threshold from 15 nanograms per millilitre to 150 ng/ml. According to them, it is only intended to sanction substance abuse and prevent cases like Ross'. But what kind of advantage do you gain over competitors by smoking weed?
Marijuana clears a path in Mexico: past, present and future in the fight for legalization
The debate is back on the table: Will the capital of Mexico be able to regulate its marijuana use?

One more step towards legalization in the US: the Government gives a green light to banks to operate with cannabis businesses
Cannabis entrepreneurs in the US are going to be spared occasional headaches. If to date they had to use McDonald's bags to pay their employees and take precautions when moving large sums of money, they can now act just like any other business. That is, they may operate through banks, which in the past used to turn their backs on them in fear of reprisals. Yet another sign that the North American country is taking a firm step towards legalization.

That is why it is so important to listen to those who tried it before us (those who succeeded, but also those who failed), so that we can replicate their victories and avoid their errors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to recent press coverage concerning investment to support the development of a biobusiness park in Minnesota, Burrill & Company would like to clarify that investment discussions are still ongoing.
"We have been in active discussions for several months with one potential investor who has an interest in the project," said G. Steven Burrill, CEO, Burrill & Company. "However, contrary to the impressions conveyed in the press coverage, no decisions have yet been made and there can be no guarantees about the actual outcome at this point.
"We do have a strong interest in the State of Minnesota and independent of our continuing efforts at Elk Run, we have been actively investing in the State, creating jobs and establishing an innovative biotech venture capital community," Burrill added. "We have already established an office in Minnesota and are actively investing in promising start-up companies. Bringing more than $100 million into the State in the last year is evidence of our significant ongoing commitment to Minnesota, independent of the potential fund commitment."
Burrill & Company investments in Minnesota:
- Invested $8M in Nora Therapeutics, developer of women's reproductive health drugs and devices. Burrill's investment also brought an additional $17M into the company, as part of a syndicate with Prospect Venture Partners and Vivo Ventures.
- In 2009, Burrill & Company invested $5M in Segetis, a start-up company developing chemicals made from biomass. The total investment into the company was over $17M, with additional syndicate member Khosla Ventures. Segetis is located in Golden Valley, MN.
- This year, one of Burrill & Company's portfolio companies, GEVO, acquired a corn-based ethanol plant owned and operated by Agri-Energy in Luverne, MN. The transaction, worth over $20M, will bring the latest isobutanol technology into the State as well as gene

JXLayer 3.0 - Event handling
One of the biggest advantage of JXLayer 3.0 over the previous version is the ability to catch input events of its subcomponents. I started to think about this feature when I was asked if it was possible to implement the auto-scrolling feature with jxlayer. With JXLayer 2.0 you can easily paint a scrolling indicator on top of the wrapped component, but how to catch a mouse press event to activate the scrolling?It is quite obvious that adding MouseListeners recursivly to the components hierarchy is the least desirable solution, first of all
it's not as easy, since I'll have to keep track of the hierarchy changes and remove/add listeners in case a componen is added or removed. Moreover, it can cause problems which I described in my very first entry. I already knew how a container can catch repaintings of child components and needed a way to do the same for their input events.
AWTEventListener could certainly help, but it contradicts the "no change of global setting" requirement which I set for the JXLayer,
more than that you can't use AWTEventListener in a restricted environment like an unsigned applet. I was thinking of some AWT methods which I can override in JXLayer to listen all events before they are sent to its subcomponents, I tried:
None of them catches events from the subcomponents. Actually, the only method that processes child components' events is dispatchEvent(AWTEvent), but it is final so I couldn't override it.
InputContextFrom time to time I returned to this task but it didn't seem to be solvable without using global settings like AWTEventListener or custom EventQueue. It took a lot of time but I didn't give in, I kept returning to the AWT code and finally found the InputContext.dispatchEvent(AWTEvent) . The javadoc for this method says:
Dispatches an event to the active input method. Called by AWT.
InputMethods are used to support complex text input, which makes it possible to type e.g. complex Chinese characters to the Swing components. Javadoc for the InputMethod also mentions the support phonetic text input for English. Anyway, I overrode Component.getInputContext() to make it return my custom InputContext and discovered that InputContext.dispatchEvent(AWTEvent) catches mouse, keyboard and focus events even for the child components!It's time to discover how the InputContext processes events.
Let's take a look at Component.getInputContext() method:
As you can see this method only calls the implementation from the base class.
public InputContext getInputContext() {
Container parent = this.parent;
if (parent == null) {
return null;
} else {
return parent.getInputContext();
Can you guess what class has the actual inputContext? That's right, it is java.awt.Window:
* Gets the input context for this window. A window always has an input context,
* which is shared by subcomponents unless they create and set their own.
* @see Component#getInputContext
* @since 1.2
public InputContext getInputContext() {
if (inputContext == null) {
synchronized (inputContextLock) {
if (inputContext == null) {
inputContext = InputContext.getInstance();
return inputContext;
JXLayer has its own InputContext is absolutely transparent for the default InputContext implementation. It's every method calls the super implementation and in addition to that, dispatchEvent() method notifies the LayerUI about the events from any of layer's descendants.
The solution is found, but wait a bit, isn't it an undesirable hack which I described in my previous etries?
This usage of the InputContext is a little bit unusual, indeed.
To make sure that it is safe, I consulted with our internationalization team and they said - "it's ok".
I was very persistent but they couldn't offer me any scenario where this kind of transparent InputContext may harm. After that I realized that despite of the fact that I seem to be the first who uses custom InputContext for such purpose (wow!), I do nothing against its public specification.
Now you know how JXLayer 3.0 catches events from its subcomponents. Don't wait, grab JXLayer and write your own cool LayerUI extension! See the MouseScrollableUI for details about event processing and Getting started for the custom painting examples.
Will meet on the JXLayer forum

by rexguo - 2008-10-16 02:15Hey Alex, Thanks for this wonderful tip.. I've been struggling with this exact problem and have been living with the ugly solution (for a graph editor) of making sure all the sub-components do not register themselves as mouse listeners and have their parent container handle all the hit tests and custom handling like e.g. dragging components around. I'm glad you found a solution and am going to try it out! :-)

A member of D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier's inner circle is under investigation after she reportedly failed a routine drug screen, according to numerous officials with the Metropolitan Police Department.
Inspector Deirdre N. Porter, a 21-year veteran assigned to the Patrol Services and School Security Bureau, "will be out of the office until further notice," according to her outgoing voice message.
At least three high-ranking police officials, including a commander and a captain, say Inspector Porter was placed on non-contact status pending the outcome of the investigation, which means she has been stripped of her gun, badge and all police powers, and must not have any contact with the public.
Chief Lanier's office did not respond to questions about her status, and it is unclear when Inspector Porter was removed from her post or what, if any, drugs were involved.
Inspector Porter is known to be a close colleague of Chief Lanier and even closer with Assistant Chief Diane Groomes. She once served as director of the department's Disciplinary Review Branch, which investigates reports of police misconduct and metes punishment for substantiated charges.
According to veteran lawyers who handle police misconduct cases, one of her legacies is that she introduced penalty factors into notices of proposed disciplinary charges in a way that is not supported by established case law.
In at least two police misconduct cases reviewed by The Washington Times, judicial officers have questioned her credibility.
A 2009 hearing examiner's report in an unfair labor practices complaint before the Public Employee Relations Board states that "her responses to cross-examination on critical facts were vague and evasive." The report adds that her responses "were equivocal and her demeanor was unconvincing on these points of fact."
That same year, after Inspector Porter gave testimony regarding an officer's grievance, an arbitrator said: "I accept Inspector Porter's statement as to her belief in this matter, but I find that the record here does not support the validity of her belief."
The investigation of Inspector Porter figures to be closely watched, as a 2011 complaint pending before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by four veteran police officials accuses Chief Lanier of "a disturbing pattern of discriminatory conduct" in handing down harsher discipline for male officers than female officers.
And the stakes are high for the men and women of the department when drugs are an issue.
General Orders state: "The Human Resources Officer will initiate the preparation of termination proceedings based on the recommendations from the Office of Internal Affairs for all members with a confirmed positive urine test that are not the result of a bona fide medical treatment by a licensed physician, psychiatrist and/or dentist."
Inspector Porter joined the Metropolitan Police Department in August 1990, and has served in numerous patrol, specialized units and administrative support positions.

Former U.S. Attorney General Richard Thornburgh's testimony captured the essence of the problems that worry so many criminal-law experts. "Those of us concerned about this subject," he testified, "share a common goal - to have criminal statutes that punish actual criminal acts and [that] do not seek to criminalize conduct that is better dealt with by the seeking of regulatory and civil remedies." Only when the conduct is sufficiently wrongful and severe, Mr. Thornburgh said, does it warrant the "stigma, public condemnation and potential deprivation of liberty that go along with [the criminal] sanction."
The Norrises' nightmare began with the search in October 2003. It didn't end until Mr. Norris was released from federal supervision in December 2008. His wife testified, however, that even after he came home, the man she had married was still gone. He was by then 71 years old. Unsurprisingly, serving two years as a federal convict - in addition to the years it took to defend unsuccessfully against the charges - had taken a severe toll on him mentally, emotionally and physically.
These are repressive consequences for an elderly man who made mistakes in a small business. The feds should be ashamed, and Mr. Evertson is right that everyone else should be scared. Far too many federal laws are far too broad.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Gohmert have set the stage for more hearings on why this places far too many Americans at risk of unjust punishment. Members of both parties in Congress should follow their lead.

The complete genome sequence of the acarbose producer Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110

BMC Genomics 2012, 13:112 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-13-112Published: 23 March 2012
Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 is known as the wild type producer of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose, a potent drug used worldwide in the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. As the incidence of diabetes is rapidly rising worldwide, an ever increasing demand for diabetes drugs, such as acarbose, needs to be anticipated. Consequently, derived Actinoplanes strains with increased acarbose yields are being used in large scale industrial batch fermentation since 1990 and were continuously optimized by conventional mutagenesis and screening experiments. This strategy reached its limits and is generally superseded by modern genetic engineering approaches. As a prerequisite for targeted genetic modifications, the complete genome sequence of the organism has to be known.
Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 [GenBank:CP003170], the first publicly available genome of the genus Actinoplanes, comprising various producers of pharmaceutically and economically important secondary metabolites. The genome features a high mean G + C content of 71.32% and consists of one circular chromosome with a size of 9,239,851 bp hosting 8,270 predicted protein coding sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of the core genome revealed a rather distant relation to other sequenced species of the family Micromonosporaceae whereas Actinoplanes utahensis was found to be the closest species based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison. Besides the already published acarbose biosynthetic gene cluster sequence, several new non-ribosomal peptide synthetase-, polyketide synthase- and hybrid-clusters were identified on the Actinoplanes genome. Another key feature of the genome represents the discovery of a functional actinomycete integrative and conjugative element.
The complete genome sequence of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 marks an important step towards the rational genetic optimization of the acarbose production. In this regard, the identified actinomycete integrative and conjugative element could play a central role by providing the basis for the development of a genetic transformation system for Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 and other Actinoplanes spp. Furthermore, the identified non-ribosomal peptide synthetase- and polyketide synthase-clusters potentially encode new antibiotics and/or other bioactive compounds, which might be of pharmacologic interest.

moreThis is the third edition of Chomsky's outstanding collection of essays on language and mind, first published in 2006. The first six chapters, originally published in the 1960s, made a groundbreaking contribution to linguistic theory. This edition complements them with an additional chapter and a new preface, bringing Chomsky's influential approach into the twenty-first century. Chapters 1-6 present Chomsky's early work on the nature and acquisition of language as a genetically endowed, biological system (Universal Grammar), through the rules and principles of which we acquire an internalized knowledge (I-language). Over the past fifty years, this framework has sparked an explosion of inquiry into a wide range of languages, and has yielded some major theoretical questions. The final chapter revisits the key issues, reviewing the 'biolinguistic' approach that has guided Chomsky's work from its origins to the present day, and raising some novel and exciting challenges for the study of language and mind. less

Newmarket, NH (PRWEB) May 23, 2013
Ralph Huber, President of PHI Management Solutions announced that all of their emergency management products and emergency survival kits would be on sale through Father's Day.
This announcement was made at the quarterly executive board meeting on May 22nd.
Huber opened the meeting with a moment of silence for the Oklahoma tornado victims and used the opportunity to remind all of the executives that the quality of their emergency kits is paramount. "When disaster strikes," he said, "Our customers may depend on our kits to save their lives."
James Moody, the Vice President of the Emergency Division, reviewed the latest products and several recent upgrades. Most important he said was the introduction of kits with enhanced water purification capabilities. People can survive for days with limited food but they have to have water. Most of our kits have the capacity to purify eight gallons of water and our enhanced kits can purify thirty gallons. Moody also stressed that the same standards of excellence apply to all of PHI's kits to include their popular line of Zombie themed Survival Kits. The bottom line he said is that every kit we produce has what a person needs in the event of a catastrophe.
The complete line of PHI's Emergency Kits can be found on their website or on

Respond to Review of Shojin
by ventuacountyvegan
Review: This is remarkable fusion cuisine. I went with a group, and we tasted just about everything on the menu. The fare was whole and fresh and made with great care to detail and flavor. Every dish that we tried was unique and amazing. The flavors were profound and subtle at the same time. It is hard to pick my favorites, but I do highly recommend the Traditional Vegetable Appetizer, the Grilled Mixed Mushroom Salad, the Barbequed Saitan & Assorted Vegetables and the Chocolate Granola Parfait. Oh, and the drinks are remarkable too...We had a ginger cayenne cooler and assorted hot teas. I want to also say that staff was so gracious, and we were humbled to be guests in their restaurant. I will be going back soon. Vegan or not, this is a restaurant that you must experience.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures ended modestly higher Friday, recouping some of their recent losses as investors spent the day split between a dash for cash and rush for the relative safety of the precious metal but decided on the latter as closing approached.
Gold seesawed during the session but in the end investors chose to enter the weekend with some of the metal in their portfolios.
Pink diamonds find new best friend: China's rich
Asia Today: Wealthy Chinese are moving their investments from stocks and bonds to one of the world's rarest gemstones: pink diamonds. Plus, dissident artist Ai Weiwei collects $1 million in donations to help him pay a tax bill.
Gold for December delivery GC1Z rose $4.90, or 0.3%, to $1,725.10 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
That brought weekly losses to 3.5%, snapping a three-week winning run for the metal.
Gold was under pressure for mos of the day as many large funds have been selling positions in gold and other commodities, said Frank Lesh, a broker and futures analyst with FuturePath Trading in Chicago.
The funds looked at gold till the end of the year "and saw much more risk than they saw reward," Lesh said.
Support was coming from some safe-haven buying ahead of the weekend, he added.
The U.S. stock market moved higher as it approached closing time but issues surrounding the euro zone's sovereign-debt crisis remained.
"The weekend elections in Spain implies that traders will prefer to short the euro-U.S. dollar instead of being long," said Chintan Karnani, chief analyst at Insignia Consultants in New Delhi. The day's "movement in commodities and equity markets also suggest that investors are preferring to sit on cash."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.20% was up 0.4%. The euro, meanwhile, traded at $1.3522, inching up from $1.3458 in North American trading late Thursday. Read more on currencies action.
In order for gold prices to rise, U.S. stock markets will also need to rise, Karnani said. On a technical basis, the failure of Comex gold to break and trade over $1,741 during the session may result in a fall to $1,705 and $1,686, he added.
Gold appeared unfazed by data showing that the risk of recession has receded. The Conference Board on Friday reported that its index of leading economic indicators grew 0.9% in October, the largest growth since February.
Other metals traded higher Friday, with silver leading the pack.
December silver SI1Z added 92 cents, or 2.9%, to end at $32.42 an ounce.
December copper HG1Z finished at $3.40 a pound, up 2 cents, or 0.6%.

Their findings suggest the TOR signalling pathway promotes cell growth while simultaneously ensuring productivity of the ER matches this growth. And the protein SREBP, which is part of the TOR signalling pathway, appeared to be essential for promoting expansion of the ER, and ensuring it carried out its factory activities effectively.
Lead author Dr Chris Bakal, leader of the Dynamical Cell Systems Team at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "The endoplasmic reticulum is the factory of our cells, creating the proteins and lipids needed for our cells to grow and proliferate. In cancer cells, this factory is active all the time, churning out the building blocks that cancer cells need for their rapid growth.
"We have discovered the key role played by the TOR signalling pathway in driving the expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum, and sending a cell's factories into overdrive. The TOR pathway is active in many types of cancer, and our study provides new insights into how cancer metabolism works, and suggests that these metabolic signals could be excellent targets for future treatments."

Quick! Someone call Mr. I. We've found the Red Wings next GM. Let Illitch know that frankgrimes is willing to throw away a 22-year playoff streak to move up 5-7 places in the draft. #winning
Pure speculation. You have no way of knowing that. Keep posting baseless accusations and emotional tantrums, though. Good stuff! By the way, you're still here 24 hours after you said you were off to find a new team. Just a friendly reminder.
My favorite one is that the Holland apologist act as though this pick magically keeps the playoff streak alive. If they don't make the playoffs is this still a good move in your opinion?

The National Health Service in Britain isn't universally admired for its IT efficiency. But Miles Gray, the urbane hardware solutions architect for the NHS, said at the Cloud Computing World Forum in London that if carefully implemented, the cloud can help the service gain effectiveness and save expenses.A national health service is an immense undertaking. With 82 million patient visits scheduled last year, the service relies upon hundreds of hospitals, doctor's offices and clinical systems to work together to provide patient services. Many of these systems invoke the number assigned to each patient by the National Health Service. Then again, many of them do not. They use the patient name or another identifier unique to the local system.
The U.K. did not implement universal electronic medical records when it adopted national health care. Consequently, there are many different ways of identifying patients as they move from doctor to doctor or hospital to hospital, leading to the usual difficulties in sharing patient information.
Gray advocated in an address at the forum June 30 that every health care provider adopt the NHS's unique identifier system. A health care provider needs to show up at a service trust office to be issued its own business identifier, based on two forms of submitted identification. If each participant and provider adopted the NHS identification system, then the friction involved in the exchange of medical records could be reduced. And if the identification system were uniformly used, then additional services from the government's planned G-Cloud and existing Web services could help the NHS cut costs.
For example, of those 82 million patient visits scheduled last year, 6.6 million or seven percent of the patients never showed up. "An unattended visit ties up equipment and highly skilled personnel, who have to sit around whenever a patient fails to show for a scheduled visit," Gray told about 280 attendees at his talk at London's Olympia Centre on the second day of the Cloud Computing World Forum's conference.
It would be "a huge savings" to reduce or eliminate these unfulfilled appointments but to do so, each health care provider needs to link its meeting scheduler with an address checking system that can provide the target patient's latest address and preferred method of contact. The government provides a national demographic service that includes a constantly updated address list, but only those providers that adopt the NHS identification numbers can access the system. Those who don't use NHS identifiers often contribute a disproportionate share of the unattended meetings because they're sending notices to the wrong address.
Sometimes a provider must follow up a patient's medical procedure six months later or stage a surgery check-up 12 months later. A notice is sent but the provider often doesn't know if the targeted patient received it. When a reminder is sent close to the appointment date, the provider often doesn't know what the target's preferred notification process.
Gray is a skeptic that cloud computing will solve all problems for the NHS. "We maintain a high level of security on our provider data. We know exactly where it is. That apparently is not very 'cloud,'" he said with an edge.
And later, he discounted some of the claims made for the often hyped cloud form of computing. "Cloud means whatever the salesman walking through the door that day wants it to mean."
But the NHS itself has struggled to modernize its systems and has several high profile projects that failed to live up to expectations after the investment of millions of pounds, said attendee Matt Johnson, cloud point man and systems analyst at eduserv.org.uk, a non-profit agency for education institutions, in an interview after Gray's address.
Nevertheless, the use of existing and future G-Cloud services, like the address checking capability of the UK's national demographic system, represents "a huge opportunity for very large savings" and the way the NHS must seek to operate in the future, said Gray in an interview after his talk. "I believe the cloud will be substantial part of how we operate" in the future, he said.
The attitude toward cloud computing is noticeably more conservative in the UK than in the US. Gray's caution reflects a skepticism that IT will just embark on another wild goose chase if it fails to adopt only the parts of a trend that serves its needs. The crowd at the World Forum was about 360, compared to thousands attending Cloud Connect in Santa Clara, Calif., and other cloud conferences in Silicon Valley in the U.S.

The long line of parents, children and folks dropped off from local retirement villages stretched across several of Walt Dairy Farm's 1,200 acres of grazing land Saturday morning for the "Breakfast of the Farm" biennial event in Ottawa County. It attracted at least 2,500 people, although organizers say that number likely was shattered on a sun-splashed summer day.
The long line of parents, children and folks dropped off from local retirement villages stretched across several of Walt Dairy Farm's 1,200 acres of grazing land Saturday morning for the "Breakfast of the Farm" biennial event in Ottawa County.
Everyone got a true taste of where their food really comes from.
"I'm a retired farmer and I'm out here because I want to help the public be informed about agriculture," said John VanderKooi, 80, of Zeeland, who used to grow blueberries before turning over the operation to his son. "Agriculture is the key component of life. Without it, nobody would live. A lot of people think food comes out of the store.
"It comes from the land."
The free breakfast was expected to attract about 2,500 people.
Instead, organizers were confident that number was shattered due to the combination of a perfect sun-splashed summer morning and a family event where children are able to tour the farm and get up close to the Holstein cows producing the milk they drink.
The third-generation family-owned farm also had two live calf births during the morning.
"There's life happening here every day," said April Walt-Wierenga, daughter of farm owners Arlyn and Kathy Walt, whose operation includes approximately 450 milking cows.
The free farm breakfast is part of the Michigan State University Extension program and one of five events around the state each year. Ottawa and Kent counties take turns with hosting duties for a Western Michigan farm breakfast.
"I think it's marvelous," Arlyn Walt said of the turnout. "What I really get excited about is seeing all the young kids. That's what it's all about. That's why we're doing this."
The meal featured eggs, turkey sausage, pancakes, apple slices, milk and yogurt from several sources in Michigan. Farm equipment, including tractors costing as much as $300,000 apiece, were on display. Families took self-guided tours of the barns and milk-processing facilities and ended the tour with an ice-cream sandwich.
"It's a 24/7 job and you have to work holidays," Walt-Wierenga of the disciplined life of a farmer, which involves 3 a.m. feedings and milkers showing up by 4 a.m. every day. "It takes a lot of work, but there's so much love in it. It's more than just a business; it's a lifestyle.
"We're excited to educate people about where there food comes from."
If purchased, a Holstein dairy cow costs $2,600 to $2,800, Walt said.
Each one is capable of producing 9.5 gallons of milk every day. The herd at Walt Dairy Farm produces approximately 40,000 pounds of milk each day of the year.
Carol Schoenborn of Holland, one of about 200 volunteers to help put on the farm breakfast, said 4,500 tickets were distributed throughout the region prior to the event.
Page 2 of 2 - "We were hoping for 2,500, but I think we'll definitely surpass that," Schoenborn said. "It's family and kid friendly. Our goal is to educate the community — show them how we care for the animals and how we do things on the farm.
"You hear so many negative things from special-interest groups," she said. "The milk is tested. The cows lay on the beach in the barns. They go to a buffet anytime they want. It just gives people a sense of what a farm is really like. You get to see it for yourself."
It's the first time many people end up setting foot on a real farm.
"We are grassroots and this is how we get the message out. All of the volunteers are from farming and we're happy to educate people," Schoenborn said.
"We're here to serve people today."

Slow Down.
"Slow down."
Saying that to myself seems a little elementary and the phrase itself doesn't seem as though it would be too difficult to follow. But it is—for me at least. I am finding that over the past few months, I have become completely saturated with my schedule. I will look at my planner over the last few months and genuinely think to myself "how in the world could I have possibly done all of this and still had time to breathe?"
It is remarkable what we as humans are able to withstand, pressures we are able to endure not only within ourselves, but from the people around us as well. I know that there are certain expectations that come from the people around me: my boss at work expects me to be on time and productive, my teachers and mentors expect me to be engaged and attentive and I expect myself to be able to handle these things while maintaining a high level of energy. Whew.
As I have mentioned, I have gotten into the habit of seeing a free space in my day and filling it with something. Doesn't matter what I fill it with, but I found myself having little to no downtime. Downtime for me to enjoy the company of myself, enjoy a peaceful activity, be one with my own thoughts, do what makes me happy and not carry the burdens of the day.
I have been feeling this way for a long time though, but have been unable to change my life. I know that I want to change it, and know that I will be happier on the other end, but can't understand why it hasn't happened yet. Am I afraid of not being busy? Maybe some of it has to do with other people (parents, friends, authority figures) and their impressions of me. But I don't honestly think that is it. I really just like being busy. But it is a problem when you are too busy, spread too thin and not content in each activity.
I know that when I am really busy, packing my day full with work, school, meeting friends for various things, walking dogs, interviewing, I am constantly focused on what is going to happen next. I found that when I was engaged in each individual part of my agenda, I wasn't present. I am ready to be present, and I feel like that will only come if I am able to balance adequately my schedule. Allowing enough time for myself is something critical that I need to pay attention to.
So from now on, I will slow down. If I have free time in my day, I will keep it that way and use that time for myself. I feel that peace will follow me if I choose that path.

Auburn motorists still not pumped up about gas prices
AUBURN CA - AAA is reporting a break in global tensions is helping steady gas prices in Northern California and around the U.S.
But the current average price of $3.56 a gallon in Northern California – with the pump price as low as $3.41 Wednesday in Auburn – isn't creating serious elation among motorists interviewed locally Wednesday.
The automobile association's Emeryville office says in its monthly survey released this week that gas prices are 9 cents cheaper than California's average at the same time last year. They're also down a cent since last month's report.
Northern California's average gas price is the same as last month.
"In the first 90 days of 2012, geopolitical tensions with Iran pressured the national price at the pump almost 65 cents higher," said AAA spokeswoman Cynthia Harris. "The beginning of 2013 does not have a similar situation that is moving the market."
Nationally, the average price as of Tuesday was $3.30. California prices are the fourth highest among states. Hawaii is the highest at $4.01.
Doug Burgard of Auburn said that his crane business has averaged $1,200 to $1,500 a month in fuel expenditures. That's about double what it was five years ago, he said.
"Do you have an hour?" he asked, when queried about his thoughts on gas costs.
"It's a necessary evil like buying groceries," Burgard said. "But I think the prices are ridiculous and it's not the cost for fuel. It's the tax per gallon."
Burgard said that a drop in fuel taxes would be one simple answer to provide some relief at the pump.
Derek Blonquist of Rocklin was gassing up at a station on Highway 49 after a visit to his parents Wednesday. His cost per gallon was $3.68 because his car is turbocharged and needs premium fuel.
"It hurts a little," Blonquist said. "In four years, it's gone from just over $2 a gallon."
Not everyone is complaining, however.
Clipper Gap's Stuart Rawlings said that he has no strong feelings at the moment about gas prices.
"I took a trip to Monterey at Christmas and was pleased that they were lower than they have been but it's not a serious concern," Rawlings said.
Only 12 states and Washington, D.C. currently have an average price at the pump that is more expensive than one year ago. Not coincidentally, AAA stated, those are also the states where gasoline supplies and distribution were most heavily impacted by Hurricane Sandy this fall. Tight supplies in the Northeast linger and continue to buoy prices in the region, the report said.

CRANBURY, N.J., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PTN) today announced the realignment of its workforce and operations to reflect a strategic reassessment of its research and development activities and corporate objectives. As a result, Palatin will focus resources and efforts on clinical trials of bremelanotide for male and female sexual dysfunction and PL-3994 for acute severe asthma. In implementing this plan, Palatin is reducing its workforce by approximately 50% and discontinuing research activities relating to the discovery of new compounds.
"After critically reviewing our current research and development operations and plans, as well as other business activities, we made the decision to reposition Palatin. We believe prioritizing our clinical programs and focusing on advancing our clinical drug candidates can generate the most value for our stockholders," stated Dr. Carl Spana, Palatin's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Palatin also announced that it is implementing a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its common stock, effective with the opening of trading on September 27, 2010.
Palatin's Strategic Priorities
Sexual Dysfunction
Bremelanotide for erectile dysfunction (ED): In the fourth quarter of calendar 2010 we intend to submit protocols to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial of subcutaneously administered bremelanotide, as either monotherapy or a combination therapy with a PDE-5 inhibitor such as sildenafil, for men with ED who are non-responsive or inadequately responsive to PDE-5 inhibitor therapies alone. Assuming concurrence of the FDA, and depending on financial resources, this Phase 2 clinical trial for men with ED could start as early as the first quarter of calendar 2011.
