White Roof Radio #470
Recorded live to make up for missing the last live show. Joined by Mr. Gabe and everything, we take a fresh pass at the F56 and a few Ask Chad questions. Plus we got to talk about that fancy looking Coupe you see above. Yes, Todd wrapped it!
There have been requests to get the video shows downloadable in podcast form. The timing for this weeks show couldn't be worse for video editing, but I'm going to try my best to get it for you guys before the end of the week. Watch for that to show up over at WhiteRoof.tv when it's ready. Don't worry, I'll post it to Facebook and Twitter too so you don't miss it!

The boys are back in town. (Photo via Focus Features)
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite in The World's End, reports The Daily Blam.
Like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, The World's End is a collaboration co-written by Pegg and Edgar Wright. Joining the team are actors Martin Freeman (Sherlock; The Hobbit), Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz), Eddie Marsan (Snow White and the Huntsman), and Rosamund Pike (Jack Reacher).
If you've been to the theater recently (specifically to see The Hobbit) you may have noticed that there are an unusual amount of apocalyptic/end-of-the-world themed movies coming out in 2013. It was like one never-ending trailer.
Well, this one has a twist … Pegg plays Gary King, a 40-year-old man, pining over his teenage years. He drags his reluctant mates to their hometown in an attempt to conquer an epic pub crawl which will land them at the pub by the name – "The World's End." We're not quite sure how and when it happens but it sounds like the future of humankind rests on their shoulders.
Bottoms up boys!
The World's End is currently filming in the UK and is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. on October 25, 2013.
Are you happy to see these guys joining up together?

Perfect for a 1 night layoverPosted Nov 24, 2014
Comfortable space for a 1 night stay. There were a couple people in line at the reception so the concierge stepped in to help out. The concierge checked me in and she was very friendly and nice. It was a great start to my experience at the hotel. The room was just what I needed. I did notice I could hear people in the hall very easily but I don't think the hotel was to busy so it only happened a couple times.
by A verified travelerfrom San Francisco
Posted Nov 24, 2014
Pros: Rooms were very good.
Cons: Finally billing was bitter experience. Duplicate charges were added and also some of charges were not cautioned to me before they applied or provided.
Rooms were good. Breakfast is very costly and no transparency with Parking tickets.
for Everyoneby A verified traveler
Great!Posted Nov 24, 2014
Staff, room, ease with shuttle exceeded expectations of 3.5 stars. The only issue was understanding the self-parking program. Once we got the correct instructions no problem. No waiting for elevators was a plus too.

Great staffPosted Nov 24, 2014
Everyone that works there is very friendly and has impeccable customer service skills. The king size bed is amazing and the pillows are very comfortable. The room was difficult to maintain a cool temp . I wish this hotel had a hot tub

old structure that needs a complete renovation!Posted Nov 23, 2014
reserved a deluxe suite room but was completely disappointed! The bathroom is so small that the door is almost hitting the commode when you open the door.

Near AirportPosted Nov 21, 2014
Pros: Location near airport
Cons: See wait staff comment above
Location: LAX
Hotel was okay but food choices are not great You can either eat in an up scale restaurant or the lobby bar We opted for the bar. The food was good I was travelling with my sister. We had a group beside us that kept growing. The customers kept adding tables and chairs until they were right up against our table.( no joke) The wait staff did nothing about it. We picked up our plates and moved to another table much farther away. I was disappointed that the wait staff made no effort to move us when this happened. We were just left on our own.

LAX Stop over nightPosted Nov 20, 2014
Pros: Shuttle to LAX excellent service.
Cons: Nearing time for renovation, carpets, chairs, etc.
Everything worked well. Food in hotel a little pricey.

Close to LAXPosted Nov 19, 2014
Pros: Very close to LAX with shuttle door to door.
Cons: Staff communication. Sometimes what we heard was not what they meant.
We used the Hotel as stop over from Sydney to Boston and return. It worked very well. After the 15 hour flight, it was quick and easy to get into room.

close to airportPosted Nov 18, 2014
this hotel needs a complete makeover, there were so many stains on the carpets it was unreal. also the drapes were torn and the linings where shredded. it was quiet and you could not hear the planes. we took the bus and it went to the wrong hotel and then we took a cab. I had a very bad cold and my husband went to the diningroom and got me chicken soup and no one knew what saltine crackers were. most did not speak english.
by A verified traveler
no showerPosted Nov 17, 2014
Pros: Close to the airport.
Cons: Maintenance.
I booked the hotel through Expedia unpublished rates and got a good discount. The hotel is very close to the airport, walking distance, if you know where to go, but otherwise connected by shuttle. The staff was friendly and the room had the appropriate comfort. However, it was not until the next morning that I discovered that the shower was not working at all. I was in a hurry to catch a flight to Japan, so I would not want to waste time complaining. I expect they would have given me another room with a working shower. Apparently the hotel is in a transition to become a Hyatt and they are postponing repairs until the final remodeling.

What if your 12 or 13 and your going to the store to get some pads and u go to the cash register and a guys there. But you don't want the guy to check it out and your embarrassed. What do you do?
Hey girlie, just brush it off. Periods are a fact of life and guys know that. He probably won't even remember it the next time you see him.

My favorite big chain drug store recently rearranged the aisle where my tampons are and its great because of the new products, it seems like I have more choices now but they also added a number of vibrators so there are at least 10 or 12 different vibrators they now sell not just 1 or 2 like before. I asked my bff and she said the store where she shops has the same thing. Oh well, so much for being embarrassed about just tampons.

None of these work for me so I just got to a grocery store I don't usually go to for regular grocery stores. And if you can find one of those stores with the self check out lanes so use those! No cashier to make it all awkward. Just be really careful! They are kind of sensitive and I'd rather deal with a cashier than have the giant alarm go off and have everyone stare at you and have to have a worker come over and scan your "lady things" for you.

A northwest Ohio automotive supplier is cutting 47 more jobs, this time for employees who make window and door seal assemblies for the Ford Explorer, the Toledo Blade reports.
Those Cooper-Standard Automotive workers in Bowling Green learned that their jobs are being sent to Mexico before year's end. The cuts are on top of 200 other jobs that are being moved to Mexico and Kentucky, the newspaper reports.
About 200 remaining employees at the plant remain unaffected, the newspaper reports.

The Tallahassee Police Department has an open case regarding an allegation of sexual assault made against Winston last year, the Tallahassee Democrat reported Wednesday.
The allegation was made Dec. 7, 2012, while Winston was sitting out a redshirt season.
"The case is open and active and the victim is working with the State Attorney's Office," Tallahassee Police Department Officer David Northway told the Democrat.
Winston and Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher refused comment on the report.
The school issued a statement that read: "We are aware of a matter that was investigated by the Tallahassee Police Department almost a year ago. Because the investigation has not been closed by TPD, we cannot comment further at this time. We look forward to a speedy resolution of the issue. There is no change in Jameis Winston's status."
Attorney Tim Jansen, who said he represents Winston, told the newspaper, "This case has been going on for over a year. The case was basically closed and we're not sure why it's opened up. We've been cooperating with the law enforcement agencies and we're hoping to get a quick resolution in favor of Mr. Winston."
According to the complaint, the incident took place early on Dec. 7, 2012, at an apartment. However, the redacted report received by the newspaper describes the accused as a man who might not fit Winston's build. The report mentions a black, muscular male between 5-foot-9 and 5-11 and 240 pounds. According to Florida State's media materials, Winston is 6-4, 228 pounds.
With Winston leading the way, Florida State (9-0) is ranked No. 2 in the country. Winston has completed 166 of 240 passes for 2,661 yards. He has 26 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. Winston also has three rushing touchdowns.

"I think he's (Cory Schneider) in the net now to stay. I don't see that's going to be changed any time soon. I'll be ready if it is, but I think we've got to try to win some games somehow. This is what (head coach Pete DeBoer) feels is the best opportunity for him to be successful is having (Schneider) in the net and that's fine. If we win, everybody's happy. Even though I don't play, it's more enjoyable to be around.

Don't count Marty out yet. Right now with his father passing away just recently he has a lot on his mind other than hockey. I hope he doesn't think about retiring because of his recently poor performances. He will bounce back, and is still a great goalie.

Girls Dressing Up Slutty on Halloween
I have always been a big fan of girls dressing up slutty for Halloween. It makes me kind of jealous I have to go out of the way and get some stupid costume when all the girl has to do is put on some skimpy clothes and some bunny ears, but hey they are a lot of fun to look at. If some girl came over my house dressed up like this and made this pose you would not do any complaints from me about the lack of creativity that went into her wardrobe.
That's because I'm a simple man and I'm amused by simple things like boobs.
And then I just like the simple things just some hot and sexy GF to spend the night with and after she finishes dressing slutty on Halloween we can go back to my room and she can get naked. Here is one girl I wouldn't mind performing the above scenario with..
DO you know what the great thing is? If you want to meet any of the girls you've seen in these pictures and you want to see them dressing up slutty on Halloween all you have to do is create a free profile at GFMate and you can be chatting with them live in seconds.
They would be glad to make you their sugar daddy any day!

CIO survey
Federal chief information officers remain focused on tightening the security of government information, but they are increasingly concerned about balancing security requirements with the public's right to information, according to a new survey.
The Information Technology Association of America released its 16th annual Federal CIO Survey last week. Titled "Ten Years After Clinger-Cohen: Looking Back, Looking Forward," the survey outlines successes and problems for government IT executives.
In the survey, CIOs said they had made headway in IT security and privacy, but oversight and the vast space to protect against sophisticated perpetrators are "almost an overwhelming requirement they have," said Paul Wohlleben, a partner at Grant Thornton's Global Public Sector and the survey's program manager.
CIOs are balancing information security and public access, and that brings high stress and significant budget problems, the survey states.
"The consensus seems to indicate that privacy needs to be elevated as an issue and was getting priority attention in only a few agencies where public concerns were driving the issue," the report states.
The Office of Management and Budget sees IT security as an important issue that all government sectors are wrestling with. The Bush administration's fiscal 2007 budget, submitted to Congress in February, boosts funding for IT security throughout the civilian departments by 4.4 percent compared with fiscal 2006 appropriations.
"The pendulum is starting to swing back toward privacy," said Alan Balutis, president and chief executive officer of government strategies at Input.
The 2001 terrorist attacks caused agencies to build barriers to information and beef up their security. But now CIOs are balancing their agencies' security needs with the responsibility to share information with the public. Some military and intelligence agencies must continue to block information leaks and tighten their security. Other agencies, such as the Commerce Department, have a core mission to share information.
Survey respondents also said that to improve system security, they would continue to develop their IT security programs, emphasizing risk and vulnerability assessments; monitoring, certifying and accrediting IT systems; and conducting Federal Information Security Management Act testing in a more coordinated effort with their agencies' executives.
In its March 1 FISMA report to Congress, OMB found that agencies made progress toward greater system security, despite uneven execution.
Besides IT security, CIOs listed enterprise architecture development, updates to IT infrastructure, portfolio management, and data strategy and information sharing as top accomplishments during the Bush administration.

Did 'owling' Internet craze start with G20 protester?
Forget planking and coning. Owling is the new Internet spread craze. It may have begun at Toronto's G20.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The wild man of the G20 is behind the craze taking over from planking — owling.
Owling involves perching in a crouch, somewhat like the bird, on top of things: fences, kitchen counters, mailboxes. It's not to be confused with that "craze" from last month, coning.
It all comes back to a picture of Kirk Warrington crouched on top of a war memorial along University Ave. that very long weekend of the G20 world leaders summit in Toronto last June.
That shot of Warrington has turned up on the Facebook page dedicated to owling and in a story on the new "craze" in the British tabloid Daily Mail.
"I think planking was kind of silly and owling is kind of silly," Warrington told the Star on Friday. He'd just heard about his new celebrity the day before.
Still, stakes are raised. Warrington mulled outdoing his own climbing feet to stage another Toronto owling on something higher and more precarious. The results would be posted on his student photojournalist girlfriend's Tumblr page, melissadinardo.tumblr.com.
Be careful? "I won't," he said with a laugh.
The day that picture was taken Warrington was arrested and jailed as part of a G20 police sweep. After 83 days at Maplehurst prison, he was released after paying two $25 fines.
Warrington, 27, isn't the only Canadian inspiring summer crazes. Comedian Tom Green posted a video on YouTube this week claiming to be the inspiration for planking.
A worldwide phenomenon, planking involves lying stretched out on unexpected surfaces.
For his online show, Green planted himself face down and motionless on an Ottawa sidewalk in 1994 for a while then filmed himself and the gathering curious crowd.
"I don't want to take anything away from anybody, but I do have video evidence," Green said.

The State Duma passed a new law Friday bringing Crimea and, in a surprise move, post-Olympic resort town Sochi into the select group of Russian regions and territories that are allowed to establish gambling zones.
"The creation of a gambling zone in the Republic of Crimea will help attract additional investment in the region, create new jobs and replenish the revenue base of the regional budget," said Anatoly Karpov, first deputy chairman of the Duma's Economic Policy, Innovation Development and Entrepreneurship Committee, ITAR-Tass reported.
The Russian government essentially outlawed gambling in 2009, restricting it to four designated zones throughout Russia, but only one, the Azov-City gambling complex on the border of the Krasnodar and Rostov regions, has taken brought its special privilege to fruition. Similar zones in the Kaliningrad region, Primorye region and the republic of Altai are still under construction five years on.
In a surprise move, legislators inserted a clause into the bill during its second reading that allows for the creation of gambling facilities in Sochi, the venue for the Winter Olympic Games earlier this year. The bill stipulates, however, that gambling venues can only be established in Olympic facilities that were bank-rolled by private investors.
Proposals to turn Sochi into a Russian Las Vegas were floated by Sberbank chief German Gref this past winter at a meeting with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, but Medvedev at the time did not support the initiative, Vedomosti reported, citing individuals present at the meeting.
While the government has placed restrictions on where gambling zones can be established in Sochi, the bill gives Crimean authorities full jurisdiction over defining the location and boundaries of gambling areas.
Analysts suggest Crimea's budget could get a 25 billion ruble ($725 million) boost annually by establishing a gambling zone, Itar-Tass quoted Karpov as saying.
"You can expect an increase in the flow of tourists to the region, the development of the hotel business and food service," Karpov said.

Dolores Claiborne in San Francisco
Dolores Claiborne, the heroine of the book Dolores Claiborne (1992), is a figment of the imagination of prolific pulp horror novelist Stephen King.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Although performances of Richard Strauss's last opera Capriccio have increased in recent time, Lyric Opera of Chicago has not experienced the "Konversationsstück für Musik" during the past twenty odd years.
Dolores Claiborne, the heroine of the book Dolores Claiborne (1992), is a figment of the imagination of prolific pulp horror novelist Stephen King.
Just now she has been made into an operatic heroine by composer Tobias Picker with one assumes a lot of undocumented help from J.D. McClatchy, his librettist.
But before the opera the fictional Dolores Claiborne became the heroine of a movie (film does not seem the appropriate term) back in 1995 that a lot of people seem to remember even though a lot more films based on Stephen King novels made a lot more money (seventeen of them made more money to be exact).
If these two pop genres are not part of your general culture and opera is, and you happened into the War Memorial Opera House and caught Dolores Claiborne you might have been as aghast as I was.
This poor domestic servant (Dolores) had just emptied the bedpan and changed the diaper of her mean old employer when the bitter old woman was chased down the stairs by the ghost of her murdered husband. A lot happened before this, for example Dolores' daughter Selena was raped by her father, Dolores' husband Joe (a big number about "into the well and don't tell"). But Selena worked hard and became a lonely Boston lawyer after Dolores got Joe drunk during the 1962 eclipse of the sun and pushed him into a well, then hit him on the head with a big rock when he tried to climb out.
Elizabeth Futral as Vera Donovan
With all this, and it is only for starters, there was not much time for psychological immersion. Empathy too was out of the question given that the sordid situations these unfortunate figments of Mr. King's imagination got themselves into were revolting.
The governing tension of the piece is that men abuse women (there is quite a list of ways in the opera) and that God is a man and not interested in women so women must become mean bitches to take care of themselves (these are the words used in the opera). One might take a moment to compare the tensions explored in Werther or Wozzeck (or for nearly any other opera in the repertory), tensions that engender psychological exploration and emotional elaboration.
There is no point in imagining the music that might equal the situations of this libretto, except, just for the fun of it, to imagine music that might be created for a solar eclipse. There was not a hint of any such music. Tobias Picker let the words of the story tell the story in plausible, more or less conventional musical lines supported by appropriate, more or less conventional contemporary sounds emerging from the pit.
There was but one moment of reflection that stood out in the evening. Dolores' daughter Selena was alone on stage in the starry blackness of the solar eclipse and senses that things are not quite right. It was a beautiful moment before it got musically boring, but it did call attention to the absolutely brilliantly designed set, the work of Allen Moyer. Here it was the projection of an all black abstraction of Van Gogh's "Starry Night," and it was the opera's only imaginative moment.
Susannah Biller as Selena, Wayne Tigges as Joe St. George and Patricia Racette as Dolores Claiborne
Moyer's set was the outline of a rural police office elaborated by cinematic projections (by Greg Emetaz), some realistic, some abstractions of physical spaces, and there were stunning landscapes created across the width of the stage, among them a realistic clapboard house sitting in actual coastal marshes of Maine. With effective lighting by Christopher Akerlind the physical production achieved immense emotional atmospheres that were without response in the music. One assumes that stage director James Robinson had much to do with the realization of this superb physical production.
Mezzo soprano Dolora Zajick had the foresight to abandon the project, the role of Dolores Claiborne assumed and achieved, heroically, by diva Patricia Racette. Unfortunately there are already two sopranos in the score. The old woman Vera, vocally conceived as a high, thin aged voice was taken by Elizabeth Futral (in splendid voice). Dolores' daughter Selena sung by Susannah Biller was the high coloratura voice of youth. Mme. Zajick would have provided welcomed alternative vocal color. Bass Wayne Tigges sang Dolores' no-good husband Joe, and tenor Greg Fedderly was the not-too-bright country detective.
It was a high-powered cast who gave it their all. It was a waste of important talent. Conductor George Manahan held it together from the pit.

Antonio Maria Costa: Cannabis... call it anything but 'soft'
The debate over the drug is no longer about liberty. It's about health
Sunday 25 March 2007
Seldom does a leading newspaper take a high-profile stand in favour of drug liberalisation. It is less common still for such a campaign to be publicly retracted. The Independent on Sunday deserves great credit for having the courage to change its mind on cannabis on the basis of mounting evidence of just how dangerous the world's most popular illicit drug has become.
It cannot have been an easy decision. Many readers undoubtedly subscribe to the vague, laissez-faire tolerance of cannabis increasingly prevalent among educated people in Western countries. That growing consensus needs to be challenged.
Supporters of legalisation would have us believe that cannabis is a gentle, harmless substance that gives users little more than a sense of mellow euphoria and hurts no one else. It's not an unattractive image. Sellers of "skunk" know better. Trawl through websites offering cannabis seeds for sale and you will find brand names such as Armageddon, AK-47 and White Widow. "This will put you in pieces, then reduce you to rubble - maybe quicksand if you go too far," one Glasgow-based seller boasts. This is much closer to the truth.
The cannabis now in circulation is many times more powerful than the weed that today's ageing baby-boomers smoked in college. In the flower-power era, the concentration of THC, as the main psychoactive substance in cannabis is known, was typically 2 or 3 per cent. Present-day cannabis can contain 10 times as much.
Today's skunk is a product of several developments in cannabis cultivation: the "sinsemilla technique" (the cultivation of only unfertilised female plants); the use of indoor growing technologies; and the use of plant strains bred for higher yield and potency.
Evidence of the damage to mental health caused by cannabis use - from loss of concentration to paranoia, aggressiveness and outright psychosis - is mounting and cannot be ignored. Emergency-room admissions involving cannabis are rising, as is demand for rehabilitation treatment.
Amid all the libertarian talk about the right of individuals to engage in dangerous practices provided no one else gets hurt, certain key facts are easily forgotten. First, cannabis is a dangerous drug - not just to the individuals who use it. People who drive under the influence of cannabis put others at risk. Would even the most ardent supporter of legalisation want to fly in an aircraft whose pilot used cannabis?
Second, drug control works. More than a century of universally accepted restrictions on heroin and cocaine have prevented a pandemic. Global levels of drug addiction - think of the opium dens of the 19th century - have dropped dramatically in the past 100 years. In the past 10 years or so, they have remained stable. The drug problem is being contained and our societies are safer and healthier as a result.
The exception is cannabis, the weakest link in the chain. It is a weed that grows under the most varied conditions in many countries, which makes supply control difficult. But we can tackle demand, especially among the young. That need not mean sending them to jail. Young people caught in possession of cannabis could be treated in much the same way as those arrested for drink driving -- fined, required to attend classes on the dangers of drug use and threatened with loss of their driving licence for repeat offences.
I am increasingly convinced countries get the drug problem they deserve. Those that invest political capital - backed by adequate resources - in prevention, treatment and rehabilitation are rewarded with significantly lower rates of drug abuse.
Sweden is an excellent example. Drug use is just a third of the European average while spending on drug control is three times the EU average. For three decades, Sweden has had consistent and coherent drug-control policies, regardless of which party is in power. There is a strong emphasis on prevention, drug laws have been progressively tightened, and extensive treatment and rehabilitation opportunities are available to users. The police take drug crime seriously.
Governments and societies must keep their nerve and avoid being swayed by misguided notions of tolerance. They must not lose sight of the fact that illicit drugs are dangerous - that is why the world agreed to restrict them.
The global cannabis market is changing. Traditional suppliers to the UK such as Morocco - the world's largest producer of cannabis resin - are slashing cultivation. That is more than offset by an increase in home-grown cannabis, now the main source of supply for most major markets. In Britain, demand will increasingly be met by well-organised indoor production with links to criminal networks. This represents a growing challenge for police.
Drug prevention and treatment will need to change in response to the effects of more powerful cannabis varieties on cognitive capacity, memory and emotional development, as well as schizophrenia among vulnerable individuals exposed to the drug. Public attitudes also need to change. The IoS has provided a valuable lead. It is time to explode the myth of cannabis as a "soft" drug.
The writer is executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
Your views
"I have been a productive, happy citizen my entire adult life and have regularly consumed cannabis since I was 13 (I am now 40). How is it that I have not suffered from the pernicious effects you cite? Simply, I have used cannabis responsibly." David Scheiner, LONDON
"Is cannabis addiction leading to the development of schizophrenia? Or is schizophrenia a mental impairment which can cause an obsessive consumption of any kind of hallucinogenic drug?" Juan Luis Domínguez, GIRONA, SPAIN
"The increased numbers of people seeking medical advice for cannabis-related problems in the UK reflects an increase in people's willingness to seek such advice. This is a positive result of the issue being brought into the legal and social mainstream." G J Kennedy, GLASGOW
"What has happened in countries which have legalised cannabis? The UK, with its "just say no" attitude, has a much higher consumption rate, especially among young people, than any country where it is legal." Peter Simmons, LEOMINSTER, HEREFORDSHIRE
"A lot of people would much prefer a far weaker strain of cannabis. The problem in obtaining this lies with prohibition. With prohibition in place, the trade is put into the hands of organised criminals, all of whom will want to increase their market share and profit. To do this, they are repeatedly making their skunk stronger in order to get the user more high than any competitors' skunk. This is resulting in the massive, and very sudden, escalation in the amount of people reacting badly to the drug that you documented in you paper on Sunday. It is, unfortunately, a trend that will continue until legalisation of the drug." Tomas Mogford, BY EMAIL
"You say that cannabis used to be a benign substance, which a policy of prohibition has spent 30-odd years trying to eradicate. This programme of eradication has, according to you, resulted in a new and massively more damaging version of the drug coming into existence. How, then, do you conclude that prohibition is the right policy when clearly it has created the very problem you now seek to highlight?" Derek Williams, BY EMAIL
"What joy to read your headline "Cannabis: an apology". I belong to an organisation for the families of drug abusers and have seen at first hand what damage cannabis can do to young brains. I watched it destroy my son's youth, and ruin his life. For him it is too late, but maybe now sense will prevail and future generations will be better protected." Judy Yates, DORKING, SURREY
"Nobel laureate Professor Milton Friedman said in 1991, "Under prohibition of alcohol, deaths from alcohol poisoning, from poisoning by things that were mixed in with the bootleg alcohol, went up sharply. Similarly, under drug prohibition, deaths from overdose, from adulterations, from adulterated substances have gone up." He remains resolutely against prohibition and not on libertarian but economic and moral grounds. You would do well to listen to this voice of reason." Richard Wilson, BICESTER, OXFORDSHIRE
"I can't thank you enough for Sunday's articles on skunk. My 18-year-old son is currently awaiting trial for his last violent outburst fuelled by his six-year addiction to the drug. I have watched helplessly as he has spiralled into self-destruction. He has transformed from a sharp-witted loving child into a monster. It is the hardest thing in the world to ask the police to take your own child away and thrust him into the criminal justice system when you know what he really needs is drugs counselling. I am delighted that, at last, hordes of terrified parents have been given a voice." Francesca Tolcher, BY EMAIL
"We first warned in 2003 of the increase in young people running into problems with cannabis. The illicit drugs industry is one of the largest industries in the world and it is entirely unregulated. Consequently, cannabis can be sold freely to children, which would seem preposterous for alcohol or tobacco. Sadly, the only way forwards that I can see is to bring cannabis further into the sphere of the law, which would set appropriate age limits on use." Professor Richard Hammersley, DIRECTOR, CENTRE FOR BEHAVIOURAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH AND DISEASE, GLASGOW CALEDONIAN UNIVERSITY
"There is no evidence that cannabis causes or worsens mental illness. Is the Misuse of Drugs Act meant to limit choices or reduce harm? It has not reduced use and there seems more harm now than ever - not just a risk of worsening illness, but a risk of smoking contaminants and adulterants." Alun Buffry, LEGALISE CANNABIS ALLIANCE
"My brother is schizophrenic, and I have no doubt that cannabis was a contributing factor. Yet its criminality makes support of the victim harder at every stage. Turning a disturbed teenager into a criminal will remain with those who introduced it to him for the rest of their lives." Name and address withheld

Former US Marine Hekmati retried, convicted in Iran

Iranian-American Amir Hekmati, a former US Marine whose previous death sentence in Iran on espionage charges was overturned, has been secretly retried, convicted of collaborating with the US government and sentenced to 10 years in prison, the New York Times reported on Friday, quoting Hekmati's lawyer.The newspaper quoted lawyer Mahmoud Alizadeh Tabatabaei as saying Hekmati, held since 2011, was not told by Iranian officials about the retrial, conviction or prison sentence. The Times quoted Tabatabaei as saying Hekmati was retried by a revolutionary court in December and convicted of "practical collaboration with the American government."The Times said Tabatabaei suggested that Hekmati possibly could be released in a matter of months, particularly if the United States frees at least some Iranian prisoners. The newspaper said the lawyer did not name these prisoners.Tabatabaei said that "a lot depends on the Americans," the Times reported. "If they show their good will, it will become much easier to get Mr. Hekmati freed," the lawyer was quoted saying.The Hekmati case is another irritant in relations between the United States and Iran. The report about Hekmati's case came on the same day that the US government said it would not grant a visa to Iran's proposed UN ambassador, citing the envoy's links to the 1979-1981 hostage crisis.Hekmati was arrested in August 2011, his family says, and convicted of spying for the CIA, a charge his relatives and the United States deny. His family says he was detained while visiting his grandmother in Tehran.He was sentenced to death, but a higher court nullified the penalty in March 2012 and sent the case to another court.Tabatabaei said he learned of the retrial, conviction and sentence only recently in discussions with Iranian judiciary officials, the Times reported. The newspaper said the lawyer informed Hekmati, who is being held in Tehran's Evin prison, as well as his family members in Flint, Michigan.Hekmati's family has called for his release. The family has struggled to pursue the case because Iran and the United States have no direct diplomatic relations. Ties were cut in 1980 after Iranian students took 52 US diplomats hostage in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution.Hekmati served as an infantryman, language and cultural adviser and Arabic and Persian linguist in the US Marine Corps from 2001 to 2005, performing some of his service in Iraq.The Times reported that Tabatabaei, who is well connected to Iran's highest leaders, gave the information about Hekmati in interviews this week at his office in Tehran, providing the first authoritative disclosures in more than two years about the status of the case.
