Health: Ryan Callahan Broke His Hand, Out Six Weeks
Update: 9:56PM:
Zipay says that it is six weeks for Callahan.
Jesse Spector that there will not be a callup before tomorrow's game but one is possible after that.
…Well they play Philly on Saturday and then are off until Thursday. I would just go with White for the next two and then maybe call up someone for next Thursday against Tampa
Callahan will be re-evaluated tomorrow
Update: 8:54PM:
Steve Zipay says that it is Callahan's left hand that is broken
Update: 8:36PM:
Very early speculation is between 4-6 or 6-8 weeks depending on where the break is.
Original Post: 8:01PM:
Kenny Albert just announced on the Rangers radio broadcast that Rangers alternate captain Ryan Callahan broke his hand.
Callahan blocked a shot in the first period and didn't return.
He will be re-evaluated tomorrow
…This is devastating. No other way to really say it. Cally is the heart and soul of this team and this is bad news for the Rangers. At least Chris Drury came back and can take his PK time and such but Cally is almost irreplaceable.

Colourful portrait art by Karlin Collette
The drawings and paintings by LA-based artist Karlin Collette combine saccharine sweet imagery with quiet, somewhat dark symbolism. She uses bright, saturated colors to paint her heroines and enjoys incorporating detailed pencil work into her pieces. She's inspired by old children's books, travel and anything vintage.

Mikael Håfström's movie of hero-priests feels like Vatican-endorsed propaganda and little else.
It is often said the devil gets the best tunes, but how well is he served by cinema? Even today The Exorcist remains the undisputed champion of the demonic possession subgenre. All other attempts at this brand of film are held up to its light and compared by default.
After a pompous opening quote attributed to Pope John Paul II and the standard 'inspired by true events' notice, The Rite turns out to be weak-willed and ludicrous on both narrative and thematic levels. The Vatican did set up a school for exorcists but that's about as 'true' as it gets.
Mikael Håfström's glossy Hollywood exploration of angels and demons focuses on an American (Colin O'Donoghue) training as a priest to get away from his small town existence. Since he lacks true faith, a professor packs him off to Rome and exorcism school. What follows is a tired depiction of hocus pocus rituals and very simplistic arguments on the roots of evil.
Great actors such as Ciarán Hinds, Toby Jones and Rutger Hauer slum it in extended cameos while Anthony Hopkins puts in a typical hammy turn as Father Lucas, an eccentric priest who might be sailing a little too close to the dark side.
The Rite is packed to the rafters with moral cowardice and cliché. There's even a female victim to save *yawn*. The whole thing drags out on its chartered course with a third act so tedious it beggars, well, belief.
The debate between faith and science in these kinds of movies is incredibly old hat. At least The Exorcist and Hans-Christian Schmid's Requiem chose a side. The Rite skirts over such issues with all the delicacy of a hammer smashing a plate. There is one good moment in which an exorcism is interrupted by a mobile phone going off, but that's about as much invention as it can muster.
In this day and age, it is the blanket secrecy and numerous cover ups by the Catholic Church people should rightly fear. That feels very real and palpable. Håfström's movie of hero-priests feels like Vatican-endorsed propaganda and little else.
Anthony Hopkins playing one of Christ's soldiers. Might be good.
It isn't. cliché-ridden and actually quite boring.
The Vatican will love it. Audiences won't.

"The Modo Mio Favola Plus is one of the more dynamic pod machines we've seen it has some unique points to it that set it above the competition."
Karim Beerahee
AEG and Lavazza teamed up for this one, so you know you're buying quality with a design team who share expertise in appliance construction and coffee making. The A Modo Mio Favola Plus is an exceptional pod machine. Its counterpart the A Modo Mio Favola was released at a London Fashion Week event, the Favola Plus displays a bit more classy then quirky, in colouring so it will sit prettily in any kitchen. The standard Favola is a little cheaper so by all means take a look at our review for it here.
As a pod machine you're guaranteed fast and tasty coffees with next to no mess whatsoever. The AEG A Modo Mio Favola Plus even has a cool LED light feature which illuminates your coffee when it's ready, very handy for those dark winter mornings, it'll save you hesitating over whether or not your drink is ready as well. LEDs are also used to backlight the operation buttons so finding your way about this machine is easy.
The Modo Mio Favola Plus is one of the more dynamic pod machines we've seen it has some unique points to it that set it above the competition. This coffee machine lets you choose water volume so whether you like a sharp espresso or want to take your time with a lungo you'll be satisfied here. It has an adjustable spout so you won't have to do without tall coffee cups and the water tank holds a respectable 0.9L so you won't have to refill too often either.
This is also quite a conscientious machine, powering off automatically after 30 minutes out of use. Thermoblock technology will keep the water warm and ready to boil whenever you wish, and it'll tell you when the drip tray needs emptying to save you getting in a mess.
It has a used pods container which will hold about 12 pods, which isn't bad, emptying a tray after a dozen coffees shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The verdict
We are definitely fans of this machine. It is a little more pricey then the standard model but with the addition of a steam arm, the classy look and easy to manage interface we think it well worth the additional cost. The A Modo Mio Favola Plus will make a truly excellent addition to any kitchen.

Were you exposed to risk factors that could lead to the development of cerebral palsy? Unsure?
This kit can help!
Kit No. 142WO - The Cerebral Palsy Risk Factor Checklist
to order!
Cerebral palsy risk factors are events, substances or circumstances that increase the risk of developing cerebral palsy. A risk factor does not ensure a child will develop cerebral palsy; it means chances are higher than if that risk factor was not present. The absence of risk factors does not ensure that a child will not develop cerebral palsy.
The following are common risk factors for developing cerebral palsy. The presence of one or more risk factors does not ensure a child will develop cerebral palsy; it means chances are higher than if that risk factor was not present. Likewise, the absence of risk factors does not ensure that a child will not develop cerebral palsy. Risk factors merely identify possible cause for concern.
Avoiding risk factors will help prevent a child from developing cerebral palsy; any exposure to risk factors prior to conception and during pregnancy should be discussed with a doctor in order to effectively treat and manage risk. This list is not meant to be all-inclusive; other risk factors may contribute to the development of cerebral palsy, as well.
To learn about risk factors and how they differ from risk factor causal pathways, visit What is a risk factor? How does that differ from a risk factor causal pathway?
To review the Cerebral Palsy Risk Factor Checklist, visit the Cerebral Palsy Risk Factor Checklist.
Asphyxia is a condition in which the body and, most importantly, the brain receives inadequate, or no, oxygen supply. Learn what events can lead to birth asphyxia and measures you can take to prevent.
Birth Asphyxia »
A-B-0 and Rh incompatibility happens when a mother's blood type conflicts with that of her newborn child. Blood type incompatibility can be prevented, learn how.
Blood Type Incompatibility »
Complications that increase a child's chance of developing cerebral palsy can arise during pregnancy or during labor and delivery. Newborns are assigned an Apgar score. Learn what your child's score means.
Complications at Birth »
Infection and fever in a fetus, newborn, or pregnant mother increases the likelihood that a child will develop cerebral palsy and other health risks. Certain infectious diseases are known to heighten the likelihood.
Infection »
Intrauterine growth restriction, IUGR, is defined as a fetus with a weight that falls below the 10th percentile and abdominal circumference below the 2.5th percentile when compared to others of the same gestational period. Learn how IUGR occurs.
Intrauterine Growth Restriction »
When more than one baby is born to a mother during a single delivery, infants have a higher chance of developing cerebral palsy than babies from single births. Use of infertility treatments can also cause higher risk.

Premature Birth »
Forceps and vacuum extractors are medical devices commonly used to assist in the delivery of babies. Properly used these devices can help doctors to safely deliver babies. However they can also lead to mechanical trauma to the baby.
Traumatic Brain Damage »
A risk factor does not ensure a child will develop cerebral palsy; it means chances are higher than if that risk factor was not present. Likewise, the absence of risk factors does not ensure that a child will not develop cerebral palsy.
Risk Factor vs. Risk Factor Causal Pathways »
Are you pregnant and feel you may have been exposed to risk? Do you want to avoid risk to your unborn child? Is your child behind developmentally and you feal he or she may have cerebral palsy? Learn more about risk factors here.
The Cerebral Palsy Checklist »
Risk factors merit awareness before conception, during pregnancy and even following delivery. Many experts recommend visiting with a doctor before becoming pregnant to assess reproductive health. A complete assessment will include questions about social habits, medical history, and other factors that may influence pregnancy.
Likewise, a person who is already pregnant may want to become familiar with risk factors and inform her doctor of any exposure to prescription medications with your doctor, and make sure any health problems, such as diabetes, fevers, or infections are treated immediately.
Hair dye, kitty litter, cleaning solutions and lawn and garden products are just a few of the potentially harmful household products. A physician will also need to know about any use of dietary supplements, homeopathic treatments or prescription drugs.
Blood tests should be administered to prevent any ABO or RH blood incompatibilities. An expectant mother should avoid exposure to known toxins – such as pesticides and poisons, cigarette smoke, alcohol and other recreational drugs.
Likewise, events that cause any sort of asphyxia, such as respiratory distress syndrome or medical negligence, are significant risk factors. Seizures, infections (like meningitis and malaria), hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, and strokes can increase the chance of a child developing cerebral palsy.
Brain injury can occur at any time during the life of a child or adult, and therefore there are known risk factors to be aware of even after the brain is fully developed. Trauma is the leading cause of brain injury after birth.
To learn about risk factors and how they differ from risk factor causal pathways, visit What is a risk factor? How does that differ from a risk factor causal pathway?.
Risk factors are not symptoms. Risk factors increase the likelihood that a child may develop cerebral palsy. However, symptoms are possible evidence that a child may have cerebral palsy.
One early sign of cerebral palsy is a developmental delay. Developmental delay indicates a child has not met the growth milestone established by the medical community and relevant to a his or her age and weight. This delay could be a symptom of cerebral palsy, another condition, or merely attributable to the child developing at a different rate than most other children.
Any signs should be addressed with the child's doctor. Delayed development does not increase the chances of cerebral palsy, rather it is a sign that, when combined with other signs, causes concern that the child may have cerebral palsy.
Risk factors are not causes. While risk increases the chance of a child being born with Cerebral Palsy, cause is the action that resulted in development of cerebral palsy.
The cause of cerebral palsy is brain injury or brain malformation, which can usually be detected in MRIs or CT scans during the diagnostic process. Although the actual brain injury or malformation that led to cerebral palsy is identified, it is not always possible to determine a specific event that caused the injury or malformation.
For example, premature birth (before 37 weeks) is a significant risk factor, yet prematurity is not considered a cause of the brain damage that results in cerebral palsy. In fact, many babies are born premature and do not develop any differently than babies born at term. Premature birth does not cause cerebral palsy. However, parents and doctors should be aware that the likelihood of developing cerebral palsy increases when a child is born prematurely.
Risk factors increase the odds of cerebral palsy occurring. Symptoms are possible signs that a condition exists, and causes are the reason a child develops cerebral palsy.

When a child is born with cerebral palsy, the reasons are too often because of preventable events that occur prior to birth, during the delivery process, or immediately after birth. Many work diligently towards preventing cerebral palsy by identifying risks, developing prevention measures, and implementing educational campaigns.
Prevention »
A parent may be concerned about developmental delays or a doctor may observe a sign outside of growth norms. There is no definitive test for cerebral palsy, causing doctors to diagnose over time. For parents that suspect a child may have cerebral palsy, the long wait between that initial suspicion and an official diagnosis can be an emotional one. But, what is often a time of anxiety evolves into an empowering experience that leads to acceptance and unconditional love.
Awaiting Diagnosis »
When Jennifer Scheuer and her husband David learned that their son Nate has cerebral palsy, the young couple vowed that they would pursue any treatment or therapy that would help give their second-born son a shot at improved mobility. Nate, a 4-year-old from Long Island, undergoes suit therapy to improve his mobility and his confidence.
Nate's Story »
For decades, physicians have been overly cautious in diagnosing cerebral palsy and other motor delays. But recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics stressed the importance of early diagnosis in a clinical report.

After a thoroughly enjoyable New Year's Eve in Edinburgh (a ceilidh at St James' Leith, and then a view of the city's fine fireworks celebrations), connecting with the broadcast, digital and print media this morning was a thoroughly depressing experience.
On Monday 18 November 2013 the two Edinburgh branches of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) will be meeting together to look at representations of Islam in the media.
Tonight, as the Lords vote on Leveson amendments, I have been taking part in a lively discussion, with expert input, hosted jointly by the two National Union of Journalists branches in Edinburgh.

Southeastern Piano Festival
Since its inception in summer of 2003, the Southeastern Piano Festival has become one of the major cultural events in the region. The festival has established a tradition of excellence for music lovers, music teachers, piano students, and classical music aficionados. A select group of pianists in grades 8 through 12 will have a multitude of performing opportunities, daily lessons with University of South Carolina piano faculty, masterclasses and conversations with distinguished guest artists, and workshops on a wide variety of piano-related topics. Each day concludes with an evening recital by a guest artist, USC piano faculty members, or festival students.
The festival is highly praised for providing a rigorous training platform for aspiring young pianists and presenting outstanding piano concerts by celebrated and new artists. Past guest artists include Natalya Antonova, Alan Chow, Olga Kern, Jerome Lowenthal, Jon Nakamatsu, Ursula Oppens, Santiago Rodriguez, Antonio Pompa-Baldi, and Ann Schein, among others. Many festival alumni go on to study at top conservatories and music schools, including many Southeastern Piano Festival alumni who are studying at the University of South Carolina School of Music.
The audiences will be given a rare chance not only to hear the performances, but also witness the "artist-in-the-making" process through open lessons, discussions, and masterclasses. The week's events culminate with the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition, adjudicated by a distinguished panel of judges. All three top prize winners will have the opportunity to perform with the South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra.

Honda TT Legends To Start From 11Th In Germany
The Honda TT Legends will start tomorrow's 8 Hours of Oschersleben Endurance World Championship race from 11th on the grid following the final qualifying session today.
In hot and sunny conditions, Michael Rutter, Simon Andrews and John McGuinness once again took to the 3.6km German circuit for 20 minutes each. Higher track temperatures and incident-filled sessions meant it was difficult to improve on yesterday's performance, however Rutter did manage to shave two tenths off his time with a 1'28.800 lap.
The grid position is determined by the combined average of the three riders' fastest times across both qualifying sessions. The TT Legends' combined average of 1'29.144 sees the team start tomorrow's race from 11th on the grid. The 8 Hours of Oschersleben will begin at 13.00 CET.
Neil Tuxworth
We were hoping for some improvement today but the warmer weather meant no-one really improved on their time. We've maintained 11th overall but I don't think that is a true reflection of where we are capable of running in the race. We are consistent and we have a good fuel strategy so if we have a trouble-free race I think we'll be somewhere in contention.
Michael Rutter
It was harder today because the track temperature was so much higher, but I'm pleased that I managed to get a 1'28 lap. Everyone was struggling with grip and I don't think anyone really improved too much so we're not alone in that. Now we just have to look forward to tomorrow and focus on bringing home a good result in the race.
John McGuinness
I'm a little bit disappointed to be honest as we were expecting a bit more. At this stage in the season though we just need to make sure we get a solid result and score some points, which I think we are more than capable of doing as a team.
Simon Andrews
My objective was to get clear track but there were five crashes in my session so it proved difficult. I managed to get one or two half-decent laps and got a good feel ready for the qualifier. With the qualifier in, I had to abort two laps due to crashes and then there was some gravel on track. It's frustrating really as we were pumped and ready to go faster, but in the end pretty much the whole field was slower.

No More "Joe Camel," Please!August 31, 2015
Many of us who try to stay current with legalization efforts around the country were amazed this past week when ResponsibleOhio, the group that recently qualified a full legalization initiative for the November 2015 Ohio ballot, managed to offend almost everyone, regardless of their views on marijuana legalization, with their ham-fisted attempt to be cute.
As part of their bus tour to college campuses around the state, called the "Green Rush Bus Tour" (a questionable name for a group of investors who hope to get rich off of legal marijuana in Ohio, but that's a different question for a different day), to try to familiarize college students with the legalization proposal and build excitement among the millennials, the campaign introduced the world to "Buddie", a life-sized, super-hero, caped-crusader pot mascot, with a muscular green and white body and a green pot bud as a head, and a large B across his chest.
A cartoon character to help advance the legalization of marijuana. Now that is an advertising approach that seems to have a familiar ring to it.
Ever Hear of 'Joe Camel'?
Apparently no one on ResponsibleOhio's staff or working for their ad agency is old enough to remember "Joe Camel," the infamous cartoon mascot utilized by R.J. Reynolds to advertise their Camel cigarette brand from 1987 until 1997, to attract young cigarette smokers to the practice, and habit, of smoking cigarettes, and to their brand. Following years of pressure from the American Medical Association, Congress and several public-interest organizations, and a pending civil suit brought against the company, Reynolds finally ended the decade long Joe Camel campaign.
But to a large degree, the damage had been done. During the decade of the Joe Camel campaigns in magazines, billboards and other print media, teen Camel brand sales had increased from less than $6 million a year to more than $500 million.
Internal documents obtained during the civil suit, and by Congress, made it clear that the tobacco companies were intentionally targeting youth as young as 14, referred to as "tomorrow's cigarette business," to protect their future profits, even as the true dangers from smoking tobacco were becoming clear and anti-smoking campaigns were being funded with public dollars.
Americans were willing to permit the continued sale and adult use of tobacco, despite its many health dangers, but they would not permit the sellers of cigarettes to target our nation's youth.
And neither will they permit those who will profit from legal marijuana to target our nation's youth. The introduction of Buddie was a tactical blunder that should never have happened, and it caused the focus of the public debate in Ohio to move, at least for the moment, from the merits of legalizing marijuana for adults, to the perceived dangers presented by adolescent marijuana smoking. And we brought this trouble on ourselves.
Our Opponents Jump At This Distraction
Not surprisingly, it took only hours for the usual opponents to marijuana legalization to make the connection with Joe Camel, and to make the claim that the campaign in Ohio was adopting the tactics of "big tobacco," trying to entice America's youth to smoke marijuana. "Tobacco had Joe Camel. Marijuana has Buddie," tweeted Kevin Sabet, who has largely stopped trying to defend prohibition, and now focuses his anti-legalization efforts on warning of the pending dangers of "big marijuana."
"This is at best, irresponsible. The superhero theme clearly appeals to a younger crowd. A shameless attempt to entice young people," said Ohioans Against Marijuana Monopolies spokeswoman Jen Detwiler.
ResponsibleOhio Attempts to Defend the Campaign
In response to the widespread criticism of the use of the mascot, ResponsibleOhio made an effort to justify the program, and denied any attempt to target youthful smokers. Spokewoman Faith Oltman said the group is "being very careful about where Buddie's going and who he's talking to," telling reporters that the bus and mascot will be making more than 150 campaign stops in all 88 Ohio counties.
ResponsibleOhio's executive director Ian James further explained that "Buddie is a fictitious character that has a '21 and Up Club'. Buddie works on the college campuses to reach the millennial voters and talks to them, helps them with voter registration, both by mail and social media. It's all geared to the folks who are 21 and up."
But that will not, of course, silence the critics, not will it get the debate in Ohio back on the merits of legalization for adults, and away from the issue of youthful marijuana smoking.
Only putting Buddie into quick retirement can accomplish that, and the sooner the better. No amount of explaining what was not intended by the program will overcome the unnecessary political baggage that has now been introduced into the Ohio legalization campaign. ResponsibleOhio should immediately acknowledge the mistake, apologize, and move forward to legalize marijuana in Ohio. We are all opposed to juvenile marijuana smoking, and it should not be an issue in Ohio.
What Comes Next in Ohio?
The fact that such a silly, and potentially politically harmful public educational initiative would have been launched raises serious questions about how professional this sponsoring group of investors really are.
When the group of investors sponsoring this rather unique, investor-driven legalization initiative held a press conference in June of this year, they were described in the Columbus Dispatch as a group with lots of talent and campaign experience, and the ability and willingness to spend up to $20 million on the effort.
"Leading up to a November ballot-box showdown over marijuana legalization, ResponsibleOhio is suited up, on the field, and has lots of strength on the bench. … If nothing else, the marijuana-legalization debate shows that ResponsbileOhio is no fly-by-night organization of potheads. It's a diverse, business-oriented team that includes veteran Republican strategist Neil Clark and 270 Strategies, a group which helped run President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign."
Those of us who support the legalization of marijuana in Ohio will be watching closely in the coming weeks to see if this debacle was just an isolated stumble, reflecting a lack of sensitivity to the special concerns that apply to drug use and drug policy; or if it is a symptom of a group with more money than common sense.
Let's hope for the former.

Latest JAMA Studies Largely Fail To Support Past Claims About Marijuana And Brain HealthAugust 26, 2015
Two new studies published online today in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Psychiatry provide little support for previous claims that cannabis exposure is significantly harmful to the developing brain.
The first study, which assessed the effects of cannabis exposure on brain volume in exposed and unexposed sibling pairs, reported that any identifiable differences "were attributable to common predispositional factors, genetic or environmental in origin." By contrast, authors found "no evidence for the causal influence of cannabis exposure" on brain morphology.
The trial is "the largest study to date examining the association between cannabis exposure (ever versus never used) and brain volumes."
The study is one of two recent clinical trials to be published in recent months rebutting the claims of a widely publicized 2014 paper which alleged that even casual marijuana exposure may be linked to brain abnormalities, particularly in the region of the brain known as the amygdala. In January, researchers writing in The Journal of Neuroscience reported "no statistically significant differences … between daily [marijuana] users and nonusers on [brain] volume or shape in the regions of interest" after researchers controlled for participants' use of alcohol. Similarly, today's JAMA study "casts considerable doubt on hypotheses that cannabis use … causes reductions in amygdala volumes."
A second study appearing today in the journal assessed whether cannabis use during adolescence is associated with brain changes that may be linked to an increased risk of schizophrenia. While researchers reported finding an association among male subjects who possessed a high genetic predisposition toward schizophrenia, authors reported that no such association existed among male subjects who were at low risk for the disease, or among females in either the high risk or low risk categories. The finding is consistent with the theory that early onset cannabis use may potentially exacerbate symptoms in a minority of subjects predisposed to the disease, but it contradicts claims that marijuana exposure is a likely cause of schizophrenia, particularly among those who are not already vulnerable to the disease.
Abstracts of both new studies appear online in JAMA Psychiatry here and here.
Extraction Reaction: Let's Be Smart About DabbingAugust 25, 2015
A new scientific review of burn injuries in Colorado confirms what many of us have been saying for some time – that the popularity of dabbing (i.e., the use of hash oil) brings with it some real dangers and some potential political dangers.
I have previously written about my own preference for flowers, rather than concentrates or edibles, but that is largely the result of my age. I began smoking marijuana 50 years ago, when I was a freshman at Georgetown Law School, and back then one was lucky if you could establish a reliable source for good marijuana, and these more esoteric versions of marijuana were largely unheard of. Occasionally the dealer would have a little hash (allegedly imported from Lebanon or some other distant country, although one never really knew), but it was usually terribly expensive and treated more as something to be saved for a special occasion, like champagne. Most of the time it was difficult enough just to find good pot.
But it is clear that the culture has evolved over the decades, and many of those wanting to enjoy the marijuana experience today prefer something other than flowers. In the states that have legalized marijuana, many seem to prefer edibles or concentrates. Whether that trend will continue is uncertain, but so long as a significant segment of the consuming public wants to obtain edibles or concentrates, we should focus on ways to permit that without endangering the public.
Regarding edibles, as our initial experience in Colorado has demonstrated, the key components to using edibles safely are:
Proper labeling, to avoid accidental ingestion
Proper dosage per unit, to avoid inadvertent overdosing (which is never fatal, but can be terribly unpleasant).
Better educational outreach to novice users, so they understand the lag time between ingesting the marijuana before the full psychoactive effects are felt.
So the initial concern over a few mishaps involving edibles in Colorado seems to have abated. Informed consumers should experience no problems enjoying the marijuana experience from infused edibles.
With concentrates, the most serious issue is the risk of explosions by those who attempt to extract the THC using butane. Novice consumers need to be made aware of the increased strength of marijuana in this form, and concentrates, like edibles, must be kept safely away from children.
Hash oil is a potent marijuana concentrate that can be as strong as 90 percent THC, and is easily manufactured (the process is readily available on the Internet) using butane as a solvent. But the process is also highly volatile and can result in dangerous explosions that all too often cause serious, and sometimes deadly, burn injuries. The similarities with the rash of meth explosions a few years ago is difficult to avoid.
New Study Released from Colorado
A new study just published in the Journal of Medical Toxicology, analyzed the incidents of burn injuries from butane hash oil extraction in Colorado from January 1, 2008 through August 31, 2014, comparing the two years prior to the legalization of medical use in the state; the period of medical use only in Colorado; and the first eight months of 2014, the first year of full legalization.
According to this study, there were no such incidents during the two years prior to the adoption of medical use; 19 cases during the medical use only phase lasting from October 2009 through December 2013; and 12 cases during the first eight months of 2014. So the total number of these explosions was small.
Those involved in these butane extraction explosions were largely white (72 percent), male (90 percent); and young (median age of 26). And the medium length of their hospital stay was 10 days.
The study's authors concluded: "Hydrocarbon burns associated with hash oil production have increased since the liberalization of marijuana policy in Colorado. A combination of public health messaging, standardization of manufacturing processes, and worker safety regulations are needed to decrease the risks associated with BHO (butane hash oil) production."
Potential Political Backlash
Another risk associated with these burn incidents is the possibility that the non-smoking public may be influenced to oppose further legalization proposals, because of the dangers presented by these explosions. Although the actual numbers of explosions are relatively low, each of them are scary, and most become major news stories, at least on the local and state level, thereby frightening large numbers of citizens, many of whom base their support for legalization on the premise that prohibition causes far more harm than the use of marijuana itself.
These incidents of butane burn injuries may well cause some of our supporters to re-evaluate their prior support. And there is no reason for us to incur this political baggage; we have an alternative production method that is safe.
This is a risk that could be avoided by using a CO2 extraction method, instead of butane, to produce concentrates, and as a culture we need to get the word out that it's time to bring an end to the use of butane extraction altogether. It's dangerous to produce concentrates with butane, at least by amateurs, and it may well present a health risk to the consumer.
The CO2 extraction method is safe and non-volatile, avoiding any danger of an explosion. And consumers are further protected because bacteria, mildews and molds are destroyed, and there is no butane residue in concentrates made this way.
It's a win-win solution, but we need to better inform those who produce and use concentrates. If consumers begin to demand CO2-extracted concentrates, and reject products made with butane, the industry will quickly fall into line.
It's time we insisted on the responsible production and use of concentrates. Otherwise we may find ourselves facing significant limitations, or even total bans, imposed on the production and availability of these products. Let's resolve this problem ourselves, so the authorities need not deal with it.

GOP Voters In Early Primary States Oppose Federal Interference In State Marijuana Laws
Republican voters in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire do not believe that the incoming administration ought to interfere with the enactment of state laws legalizing marijuana, according to polling data conducted by Public Policy Polling and published today by Marijuana-Majority.com.
Sixty-seven percent of GOP voters in New Hampshire agree that "states should be able to carry out their own marijuana laws without federal interference." Sixty-four percent of Iowa GOP voters agreed with the statement.
This voter sentiment is contrary to the public positions of at least two Republican Presidential candidates, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Senator Marco Rubio — both of whom have espoused using the power of the federal government to roll back changes in state marijuana laws.
Overall, a super-majority of all voters in Iowa (71 percent) and New Hampshire (73 percent) oppose federal interference in state laws permitting marijuana use.
Previous polls surveying a national sampling of voters have reported similar results. Gallup pollsters reported that 64 percent of respondents oppose federal interference in state laws that allow for the legal use of the cannabis by adults, while a Third Way commissioned poll found that six out of ten voters believe that states, not the federal government, should authorize and enforce marijuana policy. Most recently, a 2015 Pew poll reported that a strong majority Americans — including 64 percent of Independents, 58 percent of Democrats, and 54 percent of Republicans — believe that the federal government should not enforce laws in states that allow marijuana use.
Florida Cities Moving Full Speed Ahead With Marijuana DecriminalizationAugust 24, 2015
Local governments in Florida are taking marijuana law reform into their own hands by adopting marijuana decriminalization ordinances as an alternative to more severe state sanctions.
We first wrote about this trend in July when Florida's largest county, Miami-Dade, passed an ordinance allowing local law enforcement to treat marijuana possession offenses involving 20 grams or less as a civil infraction, punishable by a $100 fine.
Many other communities have followed suit. City commissioners in Miami Beach imposed a similar policy in July; authorities in Hallandale Beach acted likewise last week.
Key West City City officials are poised to finalize a similar measure in September while lawmakers in Palm Beach County are considering taking similar action. Decriminalization is also gaining momentum among lawmakers in the city of St. Petersburg.
These changes to local laws are especially significant in Florida, where state lawmakers have failed to even consider amending its archaic and overly punitive marijuana policies. Consequently, Florida possesses the third highest annual marijuana possession arrest total (roughly 60,000 arrests per year) in the nation.
But that may soon change. Advocates, including Florida NORML, are pushing a 2016, ballot initiative aimed at legalizing the adult use of marijuana, while a separate measure to amend the state's medical marijuana laws is also expected to be decided by voters (in 2014 the measure narrowly failed to meet the state's 60% vote requirement). According to a Quinnipiac poll conducted last year, 88% of Florida residents support legalizing marijuana for medical use and 55% of residents support legalizing the possession of small amounts of recreational marijuana.
It's clear that Florida residents are fed up with policies that treat those who possess marijuana as criminals and are looking to their local governments to lead the way in reforming these policies. NORML encourages you to contact your local city commissioners and urge them to consider adopting decriminalization policies in your communities.

Let's just call them garbage mortgages

Staffordshire County Council-Staffordshire parents get updates on school closures this Thursday (10th July)
Posted: July 08, 2014|
Staffordshire schools may be partially or fully closed on July 10, due to industrial action by teaching unions.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) are joining with local government unions Unison, UNITE and GMB this Thursday in strike action over the 2014 Local Government Pay offer.
Parents wondering if their local school will be affected can visit www.staffordshire.gov.uk/
The website is updated directly by head teachers, so parents will be able to access the most up-to-date information on their child's school in the quickest way possible.
Related content
Added to this, a mobile version of the school closures list can easily be viewed on smart phones and tablets, helping parents on the move or those without PC access too get the latest information.
County Councillor Ben Adams, Cabinet Member for Learning and Skills said: "We have been working closely with senior managers to prepare for the forthcoming strike, to help to minimise disruption and potential risks for young people, the public and those staff who will be working normally.
"Looking at the school closure list online will give parents a clear indication of which schools will be wholly or partially affected by the industrial action taking place. Closure notifications are still coming in, but we know from the previous action earlier in the year that whilst some schools may close fully, there will be many others who will only be partially closed with few year groups affected.
"The online list is updated the moment we receive notification of a closure, so parents can be sure they are getting the most up-to-date information possible and children's education can continue to be delivered."

im 10 weeks and have gained 8 pounds already. im in maturnity pants and maturnity bras alreadyposted 01/28/2011 by krbrdea
iam 5.5" tall and this is my first pregnancy with 27 weeks,how much should my average weight be???posted 01/20/2011 by naaz fatima
I am 11 weeks 3 days and have gained a total of 9 lbs so far. Before the pregnancy I was running 3-4 times a week, exercising with a trainer 2 times a week and was training for another 1/2 marathon. My doctor said no high impact exercise and I actually ended up on bed rest for a week due to spotting, during which I got depressed ate everything and now I'm still at a loss. I haven't been exercising at all and it is driving me crazy. My sister gained 45-60 lbs with each baby (she has 4) which I think is totally too much and unhealthy. She is 5'1" and I'm 5'3". I know everyone is different but even now, I'm trying to eat healthy snacks, fruit, green leafy veggies, nuts but I never feel satisfied. I'm almost embarrassed to eat in front of my husband because he's never seen me eat so much in 7 1/2 years! I hope my doctor clears me to at least start walking so I hope in the 2nd trimester the weight starts to even out!!posted 01/15/2011 by spoly1
I am 15 weeks and gained about 10 lbs. I agree with many of the posts...I had to continuously snack to keep nausea at bay those first 14 weeks. Now that I'm feeling a million times betters, my eating is healthier and more on par with the number of calories I should be consuming each day. I have also been able to start exercising and going back to yoga. My dr said not to worry and that I will probably start to even out now. Definitely freaked me out at first though!posted 01/09/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
All of these comments are so helpful to me! I, too, have gained 8 lbs by 8 weeks and am worried. And I also have to eat hourly to keep the nausea at bay - and mostly carbs - and feel exhausted and nauseous at the end of the day so keeping up with exercising has been tough. I'm hopeful after reading these comments that it'll all get better in the second trimester and the weight gain will stabilize. Thanks!posted 12/03/2010 by JessieIvy
I am 5 weeks. On monday I weighed 119 then got weighed today and Im 131. I dont see how I gained 10 pounds over 2 days. I already am showing a little. The only think I can think of is its twins.posted 10/20/2010 by smh111707
thanks for all the post...I feel alot better now :)posted 10/10/2010 by aprilgahafer
I am pregnant for the 2nd time, and I seem to be showing already, with my 1st I didnt even look pregnant until I was over 5 months. I started out with a weight of 151lbs and ended up at 175, then I went down to 115lbs. Now pregnant again, I am worried, because I dont like looking chubby, I normally cant even wear a bra b/c I am so small, I feel bloated, and people have already noticed at 5 weeks that " I've put on weight." I am eating constantly! I just feel so hungry! I am eating cheese, pasta, grapes, bananas, and drinking a lot of milk., I dont understand why I have such a bulge in my belly already, the foods I am eating dont seem to be unhealthy? Why do I look like Im 3-4 months pregnant already?posted 07/30/2010 by orange2lips
I'm 10 weeks and have gained 6 pounds. I'm 5'6" and 141 lbs. I've been a little frustrated that I can't seem to get the scale to slow down! I too am forced to eat to help my queasy stomach but that doesn't make looking at the scale any easier. With my son (1st pregnancy), I gained 50 lbs and it took me a year to work that off. With my daughter (2nd pregnancy) I only gained 30 lbs, joined weight watchers nursing program and lost 19 lbs in 4 months. Every pregnancy is different, I swear I was starving with my son and my daughter not that hungry. Also, with my daughter, I told myself I was going to aim to look better after birth than I did before--a goal really helps. I exercised regularly, drank even more water than with my son, and did my best to get LOTS of sleep (I went to be early A LOT!), and got out of the house a lot with my son. I'm hoping 2nd trimester I can slow the gain. I know it's temporary and it does come off and that little miracle is so worth a few extra lbs!!posted 05/27/2010 by thirdtimehotmama
Happy to read these. I was thinking 10 lbs so soon was extreme. I can relate to the eating through Nausea as well.posted 04/21/2010 by Amanda-SF

Dear all,
Farmer organizations work better with information and communication technology (ICT). This is not only a catch phrase, but the title of an in depth module about the role of information and communication tools and processes that can support cooperatives in developing countries.
Coordinated by the World Bank, this resource brings together good practices, relevant impact, and means to address challenges. It is available online at http://www.ictinagriculture.org/ictinag/sourcebook/module-8-farmer-organ...
In November of this year, the World Bank will be hosting an online discussion about recent advances in the use of ICT to support cooperatives, and persistent challenges in the field. The discussion will take place on the e-Agriculture community platform (www.e-agriculture.org), with more details available as the time approaches.
The FSN Forum is supported by the project Coherent food security responses: incorporating right to food into global and regional food security initiatives.

Northwestern State has a campus in Leesville-Fort Polk and on Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City. The university also has 29 online degree programs. Northwestern State has a Veterans Affairs Office on its Natchitoches campus, a military liaison on its Leesville-Fort Polk campus and a coordinator on its Barksdale Air Force Base campus.
According to Angela Messinger, coordinator of Northwestern State's Barksdale campus, the university offers veterans and active duty personnel flexibility and convenience through various campus and Internet class options.
"We are also familiar with tuition assistance programs and veterans, dependent and spousal benefits," said Messinger. "Northwestern State provides individualized and personal assistance from application to graduation."
Credit for military training is available from NSU along with CLEP tests, Yellow Ribbon comparable tuition, scholarships for military students, tuition assistance and transfer credits. Northwestern State has an Army ROTC program and Air Force ROTC is available through a cooperative agreement.
Northwestern State staff assists active duty personnel, spouses, dependents and veterans. They are available to assist in evaluating transcripts, developing degree plans and scheduling classes as well as helping obtain benefits.
"Everyone in the Veterans Affairs Office at Northwestern were fantastic," said Matthew Wallace, a graduating senior from Fort Polk. "I was really confused when I started, but they made the transition as easy as possible."
Wallace served for seven years in the Army with two tours in Iraq and one in the Sinai desert. He found out about NSU through his wife who is stationed at Fort Polk. Wallace plans to enter the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas next fall.
"Everyone at Northwestern was very responsive," he said. "They worked with me to make sure I received all the benefits I was entitled to as a veteran."
Messinger said the university also works with active duty personnel looking to complete a degree through the Community College of the Air Force by assisting them to get a degree and continues working with them as they pursue a bachelor's degree through Northwestern State.
"The faculty at Northwestern have been great," said nursing major Trista Cowles, who is a medical administration technician at Barksdale Air Force Base and takes online classes. "They are very helpful and make sure everything goes smoothly."
Students at Northwestern State can take eight or 16-week classes, which Cowles says is beneficial for her.
"Shorter classes really help those of us on active duty," said Cowles. 'I have a busy schedule and I don't have to worry about being in a class at a particular time. I can lay out a schedule and do the work at my convenience.
"I had never taken an online class before and was a little nervous about it at first, but now I would rather take classes online."
Cowles singled out Messinger for working closely with students who want to take in person classes on the base or online.
"Angela has been very helpful," said Cowles. "She's always there and responds to an e-mail right away. It's been good having a liaison here to take some of the stress off."
Information on electronic classes at Northwestern State is available at ensu.nsula.edu. Northwestern State's Veteran Affairs Website is at registrar.nsula.edu/va-and-military-information. The e-mail address is email@example.com. You can learn about the Barksdale campus at ensu.nsula.edu/barksdale-campus or contact Messinger at email@example.com Additional information on the Leesville/Fort Polk campus can be found at leesville.nsula.edu. Military Liaison Officer Robert Triplett can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yesterday, my SO and I went for a rare mid-week ride on our horses after work, and stopped by the pond on the property. SO has gotten his horse in this pond a few times before, but it was just a quick in-and-out to make sure he will go where his nose is pointed.
Yesterday, he was being a bit of a turd, so we were determined not to leave until that horse would go in that pond without issue. He did eventually get to the point where he would go in without fuss (he discovered those pond grasses about a length out were way more tastier than the regular grass) and SO went to ride him a little bit further.
Turns out there was a bit of a deep spot in the pond, and Horse went for an unexpected swim. He came out of the water like a Russian Sub playing peek-a-boo, and was unharmed, head never went under, etc. (I really don't want this thread to turn into "OMG WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHY WOULD YOU DOOOOO THAT?!" It was a freak incident. Not the point.)
What I am wondering is how do you introduce a horse to swimming, or is there really a way? We would love to go swimming in that pond (obviously not in that hole) or other places, but I don't want to traumatize (again) the poor critters.
What is the best way to safely introduce horses to actually swimming? Are all horses capable of the activity? Is it something horses know how to do instinctively? Is it ok to be on them while they are learning or should it be done by ponying from a more experienced horse? Should this be done with or without a saddle on? Does it ruin your boots?!!?!
I would love to hear your input and advice, and see your pictures and videos! Thank you so much!
(here is a picture of SO and Charlie in the pond at the end of last year, when it just started to get chilly. My horse is STILL convinced that alligators come from here, soo...)
