No workout yet this morning. Slept in this morning, so I am going to get the boys off to school, do a little cleaning and then get in my 6 mile training run.
I decided to sleep in this morning because I had a 9:30 soccer game which doesn't put me home until 11. By the time I wind down and get to bed it's close to midnight so a 5 am wake up call is not a good idea for my body.
I have been playing soccer in a 30 and over women's league for over a year now and I really enjoy it. It is a fun and different way to workout. There are no practices, you just show up on Monday night and play.
Here is the funny part about this league, again it's for women 30 and over and the team with the best record at the end of the session gets....wait for it.....a long sleeve t-shirt that says their team name and league champs.
My team is great, the women on it are great and we come and play soccer. We are not the best team out there and that is alright with us because we are just looking to play soccer, get some exercise and have fun. Now don't get me wrong I am competitive and like to win games. However I am not going to risk injury, in my 30 and over soccer league, to win.
There are teams in this league, however, who are very serious about winning that t-shirt and play rough and I just don't understand. There are times when I have to play in goal and I am not the best goalie but everyone has to take a turn. I have a goalie contract (self created) to protect myself from injury because there are players who even if you state as the goalie, "I got it", will still charge you to try to kick the ball into the goal. I understand it is a game and everyone wants to win however is it necessary to risk kicking me in the face to get a goal.
If I am on offense and am running hard toward the goal to score and the goalie says "I got", I back off. And to be honest, there are certain players who I know will plow me over to get at the ball or get past me so I move because again it is not worth it for me to break a bone or twist an ankle to win a long sleeve t-shirt.
Is this the right attitude to have? I am not sure. I am sure that no matter how hard I play or how rough I am, there are no talent scouts recruiting me to play in the pro's. I am just there to get a workout and play soccer.
I am sadly taking next session off because with half marathon training and Best Body Bootcamp and my love of morning workouts it is just too much on my body right now but I'll be back.
Question of the day
The moment that brought me here
The moment that brought me to my 2013 goals of change and pushing myself outside of my box.
That moment was last spring, summer and my half marathon in August. There have been many times in my life that I set my sites on a goal and reached it, I think that is true for all of us.
My half marathon though was completely different for me. I had never run over 6 miles, truly I had labored through 8 but looking back at that particular run, if I'm being honest, by the end I was just fast walking. I liked running and thought it would be cool to run a half marathon one day. But I didn't think I could do it. Running for 2 hours seemed tough, impossible, and kinda crazy.
Then last spring I saw the Serious Series Trail race challenge through a local running store. It was three races a 5 mile in May, a 10K in June and a half marathon in August (now I could have chosen different distances for each race but these are what I settled on). I decided to make the commitment, pay for the race, because I knew if I did I wouldn't back out.
So I started training and with each long run, I felt better. I actually fell in love with my long runs (granted at times in the middle I would say to myself, why are you doing this again??) but at the end of each one I felt great and proud of myself, which gave me a new sense of confidence.
I completed the first 2 races and then had a little over a month to wait and continue training for the trail half marathon. Two days before my half marathon, I injured myself. It was raining in the house and I was going to shut the door wall and didn't notice water all over the floor. Well I hit the wet spot and was air born and landed hard on my lower back and tailbone. I couldn't move and spent 2 days icing my behind and feeling frustrated that after training and working so hard I may be in too much pain to run.
The day of the race came, I sat on ice the entire hour drive to the trails and took some Advil and set out. By mile 8 my lower back and tailbone were hurting but I kept pushing on and finished.
I felt amazing when I finished and was so extremely proud of myself for setting my sites on this lofty goal and completing it, in the time that I wanted. The icing on the cake was when I saw that I was second in my age bracket (which earned me a coffee mug)!!
So that is the moment that brought me here, the moment that made me see that I can climb out of my box sometimes and it feels great. I can push myself and try new things, granted they are not all going to workout but taking the risk is worth it.
What is the moment that brought you here?

The Bernards Township Municipal Alliance Against Substance Abuse will sponsor the Ridge Senior Night football game against Watchung Hills on Friday, Nov. 2, at 7 pm. Members of the Alliance will be on hand with giveaways and prizes, as well as to answer any questions about their latest campaign, "It's 21 for a Reason."
Municipal Alliance coordinator, Kaitlin Kordusky, stated, "The football game is a great setting to spread the word about "It's 21 for a Reason" and the Municipal Alliance's mission of preventing underage drinking. This will be a fun night with giveaways and prizes, and of course, cheering on our team!"
"It's 21 for a Reason" is a campaign which seeks to educate parents and teens about delaying the age at which young people take their first drink of alcohol. Studies show that the longer youth wait to start drinking, the smaller their risk of experiencing alcohol related problems at some point in their lifetime. The Municipal Alliance offers "It's 21 for a Reason" presentations to community organizations, detailing risk factors for underage drinking as well as what parents can do to decrease the risk. Visit bernardsalliance.org for more information about "It's 21 for a Reason."
Other programs that the Municipal Alliance sponsors include Girls on the Run, the Pleasant Valley Twilight Challenge 5K Race, William Annin Middle School's Youth Summit Day, Neighborhood Coffees, peer leadership training at the Lindsey Meyer Teen Institute, and the Ridge Against Drugs (RAD) Student Leadership Group.
Municipal Alliance/Youth Services meetings are held the first Tuesday after the first Monday of the month from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Bernards Township Town Hall at 1 Collyer Lane in Basking Ridge. Meetings are open to the general public. For questions or directions please call 908-204-2523 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The mission of the Bernards Township Municipal Alliance Against Substance Abuse is to provide consultation, programs, training, and resources to members of the Bernards Township community with the goal of preventing and reducing the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs through education, support of alcohol-free events and programs, and by creating a presence in the community.

When you've worked hard to put away savings, the last thing you want is for inflation to bite into the returns that you should be receiving.
In an economic sense, inflation is defined as the general increase in prices over time and thus the fall in the purchasing value of money. Think back hard enough and you might remember a time when Paddle Pops were 20 cents!
Putting your money under the bed may be one way to protect you from spending it, but unless that cash is earning you interest at a rate which is higher than inflation, it's loosing value with each year that passes. The current rate of inflation in Australia is 2.0% p.a.
High rate online saving accounts
These days, high rate savings accounts that offer close to 5.0% p.a. are easy to open and free to own, plus they pay the interest you've earned on your cash directly into the account each month. With cumulative interest, you can watch your savings grow faster than if you were waiting until the end of the year for an interest payment.
Compare various high rate saving accounts now at Moneyhound to find out what's the highest rate you can get at the moment.
Fixed term deposits
A term deposit is a more traditional type of savings account. Offering high interest rates if you commit to keeping your money in the account for a minimum term. Penalties can apply if you decide to take the money out prior to the end of the term, which is a good way of inhibiting your urge to use your savings for something you probably don't need.
You can choose your term from 90 days to 5 years, but generally the longer the term of commit the higher the returns. You might also be able to get higher rates or lower fees if you commit to an online only DIY term deposit account.
Compare various term deposit accounts now at Moneyhound to find out what's the highest rate you can get at the moment.
Factor in tax
To beat inflation, any interest paid to you needs to factor in any income tax you'll have to pay on the returns, to ensure you get a real return from your money. Tax rates differ depending on what you earn in a year, however if you're taxed at 21% then consider the below example:
Initial deposit of $10,000 on January 1st with monthly deposits of $200 each month for 12 months. With an interest rate of 5.0% p.a. where interest is paid to you monthly, an inflation rate of 2.0% p.a. and a tax rate at 21%. By the end of the year, you will have $12,967 however you'll have to pay tax on the gains ($623) leaving you $2,344 in front.
Most baby boomers will stand by property as one of the best return on investments that money can by. But remember back in their day property prices were rising by close to 10 per cent each year. These days with a flatter rate of return on property investment, weather property will see you in front really depends on where you buy, when you buy and sell, and how much the property has cost you to own with regards to interest repayments, maintenance, buying and selling fees, etc.
Related: How to save money without even trying
Index-linked bonds
Another way to beat inflation is by finding one of the many index-linked bonds on offer. Although these do require that you lock your money away for a number of years, the amount of interest that you earn is always determined by the state of inflation, so you can be guaranteed to earn an amount that is above inflation without fail each year.
Investing in the stock market is a common way to create wealth and make sure your money is safe from inflation. You have the option of choosing between high risk stocks that could yield high returns, or low risk stocks that have a low but consistent yield. It's common practice to have a stock portfolio that encompasses a little bit of both. A great source of information of all ASX news and stock prices is Yahoo7 Finance.
It has been suggested that gold behaves more like a currency than a commodity. Of all the precious metals gold is the most popular as an investment because historically it has had a tendency to maintain its value when faced with currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest.

Foreign Currencies
The value of currencies changes all the time. Think back to when the US dollar was averaging $0.70, which means you needed to spend about $1.30 Australian dollars to get one US dollar. Now we are past parity, so we only need about $0.95 to get one US dollar. Buying and exchanging foreign currencies can be as costly as it is risky, none the less there are plenty of people who make a viable income from it.
Art and jewellery
Sometimes it takes a key investment such as fine jewellery, gold or a timeless piece of art to keep your savings safe. Take the advice of a notable expert and only buy from a trusted and well-researched source. Consider the storage of your purchase too and insurance against thieves, happy in the knowledge that it is increasing in value each day.
With an uncertain economic climate, it's more important than ever for consumers to make sure they get the most from their money. With a basic understanding of interest rates and inflation, and a touch of creativity and initiative, you can be sure to put up a good fight.

There may not be any paper crowns to hand out or mustard- and ketchup-colored clowns to entertain, but Jamba (NASDAQ: JMBA ) is hoping to turn toddlers into smoothie sippers by adding its own line of kid-friendly combo meals.
Jamba Kids Meals was introduced last week throughout the 788-unit Jamba Juice chain.
Unlike McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) with its fries and fried Happy Meals, Jamba's making a point to build on its active lifestyle brand through healthy offerings. The meals were designed in partnership with the Jamba Healthy Living Council, pairing up small, 9.5-ounce fruit and juice smoothies with whole-grain snacks including a cheesy stuffed pretzel or a turkey pizza swirl.
This doesn't mean that Jamba is taking the fun out of things, though you have to wonder at the mettle of the kids who will choose the beet-stoked smoothie that's being offered alongside three tastier fruity concoctions. The kids receive stickers, and the straws do change color.
The point is that Jamba is going beyond what Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) does in offering steamed milk or caramel- and spice-enhanced apple juice. Jamba is creating entire combo meals with the fun elements of traditional burger chains, but with the nutritional benefits that consumers expect from Jamba.
The biggest benefit here may be ambassadorial.
Jamba Kids Meals are targeted for kids between the ages of 4 and 8, though naturally anyone should be able to order one. However, the move educates kids. As they move through school, many of these children will be exposed to the growing fleet of JamboGO machines. Jamba expects to roll out 1,000 of these self-serve smoothie machines to school cafeterias this year, largely in high schools. As adults, they will naturally be more familiar with what should by then be a much larger Jamba Juice chain.
Jamba isn't just introducing kid meals this month. Jamba is also educating consumers on the merits of Jamba as a wellness brand as early as possible.

Writers in diverse genres produce many worthy titles
The year 2011 was not a good one for book sales, but many excellent titles were published. Here are some of the year's best:
- Daniel Woodrell's first collection of short stories, "The Outlaw Album" (Little, Brown), is a stunner. Woodrell has the rare ability to tell compelling stories rooted in familiar soil that are simultaneously simple and complex, local and universal, funny and tragic.
- In "Once Upon a River" (Norton), Bonnie Jo Campbell's heroine is a teenager who grows up quickly after her father is killed and she navigates the Michigan river landscape looking for her mother and modeling herself after self-sufficient sharpshooter Annie Oakley.
- Eleanor Brown's "The Weird Sisters" (Putnam), a story of three daughters of a Shakespeare scholar who return home after their mother is diagnosed with cancer, is one of the year's best.
- Eleanor Henderson was inspired by 1980s youths with her first novel, "Ten Thousand Saints" (Ecco), in which bored, drug-using Vermont teens dream of escaping to New York.
- Irish writer Sebastian Barry tells an intimate story of a family through the memories of one woman in "On Canaan's Side" (Viking).
- In the superb "You Believers" (Unbridled Books), Jane Bradley explores a mother's search for her missing daughter.
- Steven Millhauser remains one of the best short-story stylists around, as demonstrated by his new collection, "We Others" (Knopf). Other good collections came from Don DeLillo with "The Angel Esmeralda" (Scribner) and St. Louis University's Richard Burgin in "Shadow Traffic" (John Hopkins).
- Horror writer Stephen King outdid many literary writers with his brilliant alternative history, "11/22/63" (Scribner), which explores what would happen if a man could go back in time and stop John F. Kennedy's assassination.
- Yet another important moment in history became a sober novel with "Nanjing Requiem" (Pantheon). Ha Jin fictionalizes the Japanese army's 1937 destruction of Nanjing in this story about several Chinese and American women who provide sanctuary for desperate women and children.
- The real meets the unreal when Colson Whitehead offers a smart, funny, literary story with a zombie cast in "Zone One" (Doubleday).
- "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern (Doubleday) takes readers inside a circus without a seedy side -- full of magic, moonlight and romance between two competing magicians.
- Like "Night Circus" "A Man of Parts" (Viking) evokes Victorian England as part of its story. David Lodge portrays the real-life science fiction writer H.G. Wells, whose randy personal life was no prissy British stereotype.
- One of the most popular history books this year is "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson (Crown). An account of the first year of William Dodd's ambassadorship in Nazi Germany (1933-34) and a tale of his daughter Martha's coming of age in Berlin, it offers something for both serious students of the 1930s and for lovers of charming stories.
- Candice Millard also weaves a fascinating history in "Destiny of the Republic" (Doubleday), the story of the assassination of President James Garfield, who might have survived a bullet if doctors had washed their hands and taken a few other precautions.
- Many historians are examining the Civil War, marking its 150th anniversary. But with "A World on Fire" (Random House), Amanda Foreman focuses on a new angle: Britain's crucial role.
- A prominent journalist and a leading foreign policy scholar team up to assert that contemporary America has lost its edge and needs to get it back quickly -- and they show how in "How We Can Come Back" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) by Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum.
- More fodder for worry is "Retirement Heist: How Companies Plunder and Profit from the Nest Eggs of American Workers" by Ellen E. Schultz (Portfolio).
- James Carroll has applied his writer's skills and scholarly mind to the conundrum of one of the world's great metropolitan areas: Why does a 3,000-year-old city holy to the three Abrahamic religions have such a wretched, bloody history? He discusses the modern importance of an ancient city in "Jerusalem, Jerusalem" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt).
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower gets most of the credit for America's system of interstate highways. But in "The Big Roads" (Mifflin Harcourt), author Earl Swift credits Franklin D. Roosevelt as first to propose the network.
- Against all odds, writer Simon Garfield makes type fonts sound fascinating in "Just My Type" (Gotham Books). If you liked "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" back in 2003, you'll like "Just My Type."
- Maureen Stanton also makes the common uncommonly interesting with her look into flea-market America in "Killer Stuff and Tons of Money" (Penguin Press).

Asheville, NC (ACT) -- A father tried to steer investigators off course right after his masked son held up a Biltmore Forest bank in a plot hatched by the duo, a prosecutor said Tuesday in opening arguments to a Buncombe County jury.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Hess said John Burton Edmonds Jr., 59, was inside Forest Commercial Bank posing as a customer when James Ryan Edmonds, 25, burst into the bank, pointed a gun at a worker and grabbed more than $5,000 in cash.
The elder Edmonds ran after his escaping son, pretending he was attempting to follow the robber, then tried to mislead officers about where he had gone, Hess said.
John Edmonds and James Edmonds are standing trial in Buncombe County Superior Court on charges of robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
"These two defendants conspired together," the prosecutor said. "We'll ask you to find both defendants guilty."
But defense attorney Robert Smith, who represents John Edmonds, said his client was merely a witness to the Dec. 8, 2011, robbery of the bank on Hendersonville Road.
"He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," Smith said. "He's innocent. There's no reason he couldn't have been there or shouldn't have been there."
Attorney Michael Macht, who represents James Edmonds, said that while authorities maintain his client left the scene in a getaway vehicle, a police dog tracked the robber through nearby woods.
A woman also said she spotted a suspect crouched down in the area, he said. Macht said the investigation was "sloppy" and targeted only the two suspects.
Authorities said the defendants were arrested 15 days after the robbery at a residence on South Liberty Street in Asheville, where the son lived at the time and the father was moving in.
Hess said James Edmonds was dressed all in black except for a blue ski mask covering his head during the robbery. Police said John Edmonds gave investigators false information about what the robber was wearing, and his statements were contradicted by surveillance video and the accounts of bank workers.
Cellphone records place James Edmonds near the bank at the time of the robbery, Hess said.
John Edmonds was convicted in July 2012 in Buncombe County of drug trafficking and sentenced to more than eight years in prison, according to N.C. Department of Public Safety records. His previous felony convictions include forgery, larceny by employee and possession of a firearm by felon.
Records state James Edmonds spent three months in prison following his conviction in August of obtaining property by false pretense.

When photographing a man, Peter often turns the camera over to Alice after setting up the lights. She has a knack for getting the best expression and for knowing just the right split-second to release the shutter.
|Peter worries about SUV's using up all the petrol in the world. He thinks that by the year 2020 we will all be riding horses like actress Vera Miles and bicycles like Lisa Borges. The horse was photographed in the San Fernando Valley, an hour's drive from the studio. The bicycle set up took place on a gravel road next to the Gowlands' studio-home. This is a location just a few steps away from the model's food and make-up station, which saves the entire team valuable time.

|Tallullah Bankhead
|"Dahlings -- I never thought I'd be shilling for a gambler's joint."
Actress Tallulah Bankhead croaked in that famous voice when she opened her first -time night club act at Jack Entratter's Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, 1953. We were on assignment for Pageant magazine. Tallulah was paid $20,000 a week. The pundits had predicted that Entratter would lose his shirt. Tallulah was so nervous opening night that she broke out with a case of Shingles. But she topped the record! Later she was offered $100,000 to do a similar show in Texas.
We found her to be surprisingly friendly when we told her we would be photographing her act. "As long as you don't use flash," she said. She invited Alice and me to her bungalow for a nightcap where she entertained us personally for over an hour. Later, walking across the grounds to our own bungalow, Alice said, "Look at the moon behind those clouds."
"That's no moon," I said. "It's the sun!"
The great Louis Armstrong was also part of the show. In today's world it's shocking to remember he wasn't allowed to enter the hotel through the front door and had to go to the back entrance. He could not stay at the hotel either!
|Mae West
Our friend, Joe Bardo, was part of Mae West�s Las Vegas appearance. He phoned to ask if I wanted to photograph Mae in the nude. I almost dropped the phone! "When and Where?" I asked.
Joe was waiting for me, Mae at his side, when I walked into her Pacific Coast Highway home. All curtains were pulled so I couldn�t tell what she looked like. She was well covered in some kind of robe. Two monkeys, in diapers, startled me as they jumped from a chaise lounge to a plush chair.
"Where shall we work?" I asked. Miss West pointed to a white statue of herself on an antique table. "It looks perfect where it is, don�t you think?" she said.
Joe had tricked me! She had never intended to pose nude. The rest was a nightmare. The monkeys kept leaping onto my back while I tried to set up lights. Finally, I asked if I could take the statue to my studio-home. Mae West agreed.
The following Sunday, in front of a blue felt background propped against my garage door, I placed the statue on a stool. I was about to click the camera shutter when Alice, shouted from the front door, "Marilyn Monroe is dead!" A gust of wind came up. It blew my background forward, knocking the statue to the ground, breaking one leg and landing that sex symbol on her face! Alice and I stood dumb-founded.
Finally, I put the pieces in a box then got onto my Lambretta scooter. "Where are you going?" Alice asked. "To the beach," I said, and sped off.
Later, when I came home, Alice nagged at me. "You have to call Mae, you know." "No," I said, "My friend and I are going to fix it." At the beach I had run into a body and fender man I knew. He volunteered to help. Oh, was he good! He even replaced the eyelashes.
A few days later, I delivered Mae West�s new body to her, with my photographs. She thanked me, never knowing what happened.

Brokedown Palace
I went into this film with more enthusiasm than any movie in recent memory. Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale in a movie about women in prison? Holy God, pop open a can of Vaseline and clear out the seat in front of me -- that sounds like fun. Wouldn't you know it, the whole thing is B.S. Where are all the pointless nude shower sequences? Where's the hot lesbian action? What this movie needed was Sybil Danning in full leather, explaining to Claire and Kate the rules in the chick clink.
Speaking of the chick clink, what is the deal with womens' prisons in the Far East? Looked to me like life was a whole lot harder for Joaquin Phoenix in "Return to Paradise." In "Brokedown Palace," Alice (Danes) and Darlene (Beckinsale) get set up and imprisoned for smuggling drugs, and where do they go? A locked-down Club Med. I've seen girl scouts beaten harder for missing cookie sales quotas.
And what is the deal with every American who gets busted for drug smuggling uttering the following phrase: "I'm an American. I have a right to a lawyer."? In case you didn't know, that translates into Thai as "I'm an idiot. Shoot me now." A lawyer, Yankee Hank (Bill Pullman) does actually show up to help the girls, but runs into -- you guessed it -- resistance. Part of that comes from the stereotypical corrupt U.S. Embassy guy, played by Lou Diamond Phillips.
Director Jonathan ("Bad Girls") Kaplan's idea of an important social statement is to interject a sultry ballad between every scene of Claire and Kate moping about the prison yard in their -- gasp -- bare feet. For drama, we've got the mean Thai prisoner who has it out for Claire and the Jamaican prisoner who explains to our heroines: "You got to have de freedom in here (pointing to her head) and here (pointing to her heart)." Now, a Jamaican prison campfire tune or two, and this film really would have had it all.

Naming Glass
Category: Culture | Posted on Thu, March, 20th 2014 by THCFinder
Stoners take a lot of pride in their glass collections, going to great lengths to keep their pieces shining, sparkling, and ready to hit. Not only is keeping them clean extremely important but some stoners believe that pieces should always have names. Sometimes, the names are funny and other times, they're just a reflection of their owner's interests. Why do some stoners believe that this process is vital to their smoking experience?
When a piece is named, there are some stoners that believe the chances of it breaking go down. This superstition must have something to do with the idea of humanizing the bong so that people take more care of it when handling it. If the bong has a name, someone is less likely to be careless with a piece of glass called George rather then "The Bong" (I hope that you're not naming your glass George... Unless for some reason that's a good fit for your piece!). Some smokers are so adamant about this that they name every single piece that they own, giving them one hell of a story to tell their stoner friends when they stop by for a sesh!
Other stoners don't buy in to the naming fad, or at least not as entirely as others. Of course there are some glass pieces that get purchased that definitely deserve names. They're so intricate and well thought out pieces that it's impossible not to name them. While I myself don't really believe that naming glass is extremely important or good luck, I have to admit that there are pieces of glass in my collection that got names just because of how awesome they look. The simpler looking pieces don't get named and are called usually by the company that makes them.
Naming your glass is fun, whether you believe that it is good luck or not. Names can be funny, serious, or somewhere in between. Whatever you choose to do, everyone at THCFinder hopes that you're simply enjoying your smoking time! Take good care of your glass, as someone worked hard to make it for you!

Gov't approves study of marijuana smoking to treat PTSD in military veterans
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, March, 19th 2014 by THCFinder
Could marijuana help treat post-traumatic stress disorder in military veterans? New research aims to find out.
The U.S. government has signed off on a long-delayed study looking at marijuana as a treatment for military veterans with PTSD, a development that drug researchers are hailing as a major shift in U.S. policy.
The study will measure the effects of five different potencies of smoked or vaporized marijuana in treating symptoms of PTSD in 50 veterans.
The Department of Health and Human Services' decision surprised marijuana advocates who have struggled for decades to secure federal approval for research into the drug's medical uses.
The proposal from the University of Arizona was long ago cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, but researchers had been unable to purchase marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The agency's Mississippi research farm is the only federally-sanctioned source of the drug.
In a letter last week, HHS cleared the purchase of medical marijuana by the studies' chief financial backer, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, which supports medical research and legalization of marijuana and other drugs.
"MAPS has been working for over 22 years to start marijuana drug development research, and this is the first time we've been granted permission to purchase marijuana from NIDA," the Boston-based group said in a statement. The federal government has never before approved medical research involving smoked or vaporized marijuana, according to MAPS.
A spokesman for the group said organizers have called off a protest over the stalled study that was planned for later this year.
While more than 1 million Americans take medical marijuana -- usually for chronic pain -- rigorous medical research into the drug's effects has been limited, in part due to federal restrictions.
Marijuana remains a Schedule I substance under the federal government's Controlled Substance Act, meaning it has no medical use and has high potential for abuse.

Marijuana Use Rises While Consumption Of Cocaine, Methamphetamine Falls
Category: News | Posted on Wed, March, 19th 2014 by THCFinder
A rise in the self-reported consumption of cannabis during the years 2006 to 2010 corresponds with a significant decline in Americans' use of cocaine and methamphetamine during this same time period, according to a new RAND study commissioned by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).
Researchers estimate that Americans increased their consumption of cannabis by approximately 30 percent during the years 2006 to 2010. During this same time, authors estimated that the public's use of cocaine and methamphetamine declined, with Americans' use of cocaine falling by half.
Americans' consumption of heroin remained largely stable throughout the decade, the study reported. According to statistics compiled by the US Substance Abuse And Mental Health Services Administration, an estimated 4.5 million Americans have tried heroin in their lifetimes. By comparison, an estimated 12 million Americans have tried methamphetamine, 37.5 million have tried cocaine, and 111 million have consumed cannabis.
Authors estimated that Americans spent approximately one trillion dollars on the purchase of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine between 2000 and 2010.
Commenting on the report, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said, "These figures belie that notion that marijuana exposure is an alleged 'gateway' to the use of other illicit substances and instead suggest that for some people, cannabis may be a substitute for other so-called 'hard drugs' or even an exit drug."
Survey data published in 2013 in the journal Addiction Research & Theory reported that among a cohort of medical marijuana consumers, 75 percent of subjects acknowledged that they used cannabis it as a substitute for prescription drugs, alcohol, or some other illicit substance.

Yes, I saw The Time Traveler's Wife opening weekend, and I freely admit I enjoyed Audrey Niffenegger's novel. There, I said it. I'm a sucker for time travel stories.
So, it should come as no surprise that DC Comics' Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, where time travel plays an important role, is my favorite Superman story. This isn't a very shocking claim, however, as many fans will likely share the sentiment. After all, it is written by Alan Moore and serves as the "last" Superman story. Yet it was written in 1986, and there have been plenty of Superman stories since then. Confused? Let me explain....
In the aftermath of DC's mega-event, Crisis on Infinite Earths, the character of Superman was due for a "reboot," and as a gesture of goodwill, longtime Superman editor Julius Schwartz decided to construct a two-issue story that would tie up loose ends, satisfy fans of the Silver Age Superman, and pave the way for a re-launch. But who best to pen the story?
In former DC editor Paul Kupperberg's introduction (reprinted here from the 1997 collection), Schwartz recounts how his decision was essentially made for him:
"I happened to be having breakfast with Alan Moore…At that point, he literally rose out of his chair, put his hands around my neck, and said, 'If you let anybody but me write that story, I'll kill you.' Since I didn't want to be an accessory to my own murder, I agreed."
Penciled by legendary Superman artist Curt Swan and inked by George Perez and Kurt Schaffenberger, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? is the be-all-to-end-all of Superman stories. The Last Son of Krypton bids adieu to his friends and sworn enemies in a final showdown that reveals secrets and leaves only the most stoic of readers with dry eyes.
This slightly oversized hardcover also wisely includes two other Superman stories written by Moore, one involving Swamp-Thing, and another, For the Man Who Has Everything, with art by Moore's Watchmen collaborator Dave Gibbons, that is often cited alongside Man of Tomorrow as a must-read. A quick email to DC Comics confirmed that the stories herein have "been re-colored to match the original[s]," and they look vibrant, particularly the latter, especially in this slightly enlarged format--and especially when compared with previous reprints.
But why reprint these stories now? Well, lately Batman has been more morbid than usual, beginning with Grant Morrison's recent Batman: R.I.P., which then led to the Dark Knight's career-capping fate in Final Crisis. And so DC set out, in a self-referential homage, to give Batman a proper send-off as well in the appropriately-titled Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?, written by recent Hugo Award winner Neil Gaiman. Released in July to pair nicely with the above, this too is presented in a deluxe hardcover, and is larger than the original issues.
In a fitting setting for a character born of violence, the last Batman story takes place at his funeral, with heroes and villains eulogizing the Dark Knight. Penciler Andy Kubert offers nods to various Batman artists over the years, and Gaiman turns on the waterworks with a young Bruce Wayne reading a Goodnight Moon-esque book with his mother. As they say goodbye to various Caped Crusader staples ("Goodnight, Boy Wonder," "Goodnight, Batmobile"), the whole piece rapidly gains momentum and weight, particularly with an impressive morphing of the Bat-signal into an image I'll not soon forget.
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? features a few other Batman stories written earlier in Gaiman's career, and while they can't be expected to measure up to his tribute, they are fun reads for curiosity's sake. Both Whatever Happened… collections are full of World's Finest nostalgia, and both usher the respective crime fighting careers into melancholic but fitting farewells.

Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" story was an instant classic when it was first published. Finally it's given the deluxe hardcover treatment. This is a gem of a story by Moore and artist Curt Swan. Wonderfully illustrated and lavishly written. Man of Tomorrow is easily among my top-10 favorite super-hero comic stories of all time. The bonus stories that round out this tale are nothing shy of perfect. Moore and Gibbons shine in a story originally presented in a DC annual, whilst the Swamp Thing-Superman tale is from the long-running series DC Comics Presents. Can't recommend this book highly enough for Moore and Superman fans alike.

Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader nothing short of incredible. Batman's "reward" for being Batman was sincerely moving for me. Plus it was easily Andy Kubert's best work to date where he mimics the character designs of previous artist. It almost made Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis worth it. But not really, cause they were awful.

Mack 10
Share This
During the mid-'90s, when West Coast rap reigned supreme,
Mack 10
emerged as a close associate of
Ice Cube
and enjoyed several years of considerable commercial success before his popularity faded toward the end of the decade. The Los Angeles-area rapper's greatest success came early in his career, on the albums
Mack 10
Bow Down
Based on a True Story
(1997), and
The Recipe
(1998), which between them included a string of notable hits ("Foe Life," "On Them Thangs," "Bow Down," "Gangstas Make the World Go Round," "Backyard Boogie," "Money's Just a Touch Away").
Mack 10
's fortunes began to fade with
The Paper Route
(2000), his first album to fall short of either platinum or gold sales status, and his first to not spawn a significant hit.
Bang or Ball
(2001), released by Cash Money Records, signaled a new direction for
Mack 10
, though it too failed to rival the commercial success of his mid- to late-'90s output. In subsequent years, he jumped back and forth from independent to major-label status and struggled to re-establish himself in a substantially altered rap marketplace where West Coast gangsta rap had fallen out of favor.
Dedrick D'Mon Rolison
on August 9, 1971, in Inglewood, CA,
Mack 10
debuted on the Friday soundtrack (1995) with "Take a Hit." A couple months later he made his album debut with
Mack 10
(1995), released by Priority Records. Featuring production work and a couple guest raps from
Ice Cube
, who was fresh from the success of his starring role in Friday,
Mack 10
spawned a couple chart hits ("Foe Life," "On Them Thangs") and sold well, charting number two on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 33 overall. One of the songs from
Mack 10
, "Westside Slaughterhouse," was a collaboration with
Ice Cube
WC and the Maad Circle
). In 1996 these three Los Angeles rappers reunited for
Bow Down
, a supergroup album credited to
Westside Connection
. The album proved very popular, spawning a pair of chart hits ("Bow Down," "Gangstas Make the World Go Round"), peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, and ultimately going platinum. Also in 1996,
Mack 10
made a couple soundtrack appearances: "Nothin' But the Cavi Hit," from
Rhyme & Reason
, and "Hoo-Bangin'," from
The Substitute
. His second solo album,
Based on a True Story
(1997), continued the streak of commercial success, charting at number 14 and spawning a Top 40 hit, "Backyard Boogie."
The follow-up album,
The Recipe
(1998), was highly collaborative, featuring guests on practically every song; it also served as the launching pad for Hoo-Bangin' Records,
Mack 10
's personal label. The most popular single from
The Recipe
was "Money's Just a Touch Away," featuring
Gerald LeVert
, a number five hit on Billboard's Top Rap Singles chart (number 54 overall).
Hoo-Bangin': The Mix Tape
(1999) in turn showcased the label's roster, which included
MC Eiht
, CJ Mac,
the Comrads
, and
Chilldrin of da Ghetto
The Paper Route
(2000) followed and, though it charted fairly well initially, at number 19 (relative to number 15, the peak position of its predecessor), over time it proved considerably less popular than any of
Mack 10
's previous releases. Neither of
The Paper Route
's singles ("From tha Streetz," "Tight to Def" -- the latter featuring
], whom
Mack 10
married in 2000) broke the Billboard Hot 100; though it wasn't released as a single, the album notably includes a star-studded collaboration with
Ice Cube
, and
, "Nobody."
Mack 10
left Priority Records at this point in time (for the label was being merged into Capitol) and signed a one-album deal with Cash Money Records. The partnership was surprising. Cash Money was a leading Dirty South label with a small roster of in-house rappers such as
Lil Wayne
; however, the label was looking to expand its roster as well as its geographical reach, and
Mack 10
offered it a great opportunity to unite the West Coast and Dirty South. The resulting album,
Bang or Ball
(2001), certainly signaled a new direction for
Mack 10
, who sounded comfortable working with Cash Money's in-house producer,
Manny Fresh
. "Hate in Yo Eyes," a
Dr. Dre
/Scott Storch production driven by an interpolation of "Stayin' Alive" by
the Bee Gees
, was the only single from
Bang or Ball
to chart (and barely at that, peaking at number 98 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart); the other singles released were "Do tha Damn Thing" and "Connected for Life." Another Hoo-Bangin' showcase,
Mack 10 Presents da Hood
(2002), followed, featuring the label's new roster (
K Mac
, Deviossi,
, Cousteau,
) as well as a regional anthem, "L.A. for Ya."
Mack 10
returned in a big way in 2003, with both a solo album (
Ghetto, Gutter & Gangster
) and a
Westside Connection
reunion (
Terrorist Threats
). While
Ghetto, Gutter & Gangster
, released independently by Bungalo, sold poorly (despite spawning a chart hit, "Lights Out"),
Terrorist Threats
, released by Capitol, sold relatively well, going gold thanks partly to a warm reception for the single "Gangsta Nation."
Mack 10
's next album,
Hustla's Handbook
(2005), was his return to the majors; like
Terrorist Threats
, it was released by Capitol. Even with major-label promotion and a strong lead single, "Like This" (featuring
Nate Dogg
Hustla's Handbook
climbed to only number 65 on the Billboard 200; with the exception of its independently released precedessor (which didn't even break the Top 100), this was
Mack 10
's lowest-charting album to date and didn't bode well for his major-label future. In 2007 Capitol/Priority released
Foe Life: The Best of Mack 10
, a career-spanning compilation.

A local chiropractor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman while he was treating her in his office.
Greeley police arrested Jack Cody, 65, Monday after the 46-year-old woman told them he sexually assaulted her and touched her inappropriately during a treatment session, according to an arrest affidavit.
According to the report, the woman's friend initially told police and investigators eventually talked with the woman. She told police she had undergone several treatments at his office, Cody Chiropractic, and Cody became increasingly inappropriate, sometimes unbuttoning her clothes and pulling down her pants. The woman said the assault took place on Dec. 21 while she was receiving an ultrasound treatment, according to police. She told police he digitally penetrated her twice before she told him to stop, and he did.
The report states that police gathered evidence from the chiropractic office, and investigators gave the woman a recording device, which she used while talking with Cody. During a recorded conversation, the woman asked Cody if he "went a little low" during her last treatment, to which he responded, "Maybe," according to the report. The report states he then said "Sorry" before saying, "You've got sexual tension built up. You've got physical and emotional, and I know you probably need some good massages."
The Colorado Board of Chiropractic Examiners had already received a complaint against Cody alleging sexual misconduct in a separate case, according to the state Department of Regulatory Agencies. Cory Everett-Lozano, spokeswoman for the department, said after weighing evidence, an administrative law judge had recommended that Cody's license be revoked, and the state board was considering that recommendation. Everett-Lozano said since Cody was arrested in this case, the board will hold an emergency meeting to decide on a course of action.
"It's kind of their remedy to remove someone from practicing immediately if they need to," Everett-Lozano said.
The Weld District Attorney's Office said the prior allegation against Cody was not prosecuted.
"We declined to file charges in that case, but we are going forward in this case," said Heath Montgomery, spokesman for the district attorney's office.
Sgt. Susan West, spokeswoman for Greeley police, said investigators believe there might be other victims. Police are asking anyone with information on Cody to contact them at (970) 350-9600.
Cody's family declined to comment on the allegations. He has been released from jail on a $30,000 bond. The district attorney is due to file charges on Jan. 7.

Radical dissection of the neck as part of the definitive treatment of malignant lesions about the head and neck was first advocated by George Crile Sr.1,2 Previously, many surgeons reported the removal of cervical lymph nodes in the course of operations for carcinoma of the oral cavity, but none saw so clearly as he did the importance of removing completely the cervical lymphatics. Crile had the foresight to interpret accurately the data available to him and to present a planned procedure comparable to those attributed to Halsted and Miles, which were designed to remove the regional lymphatics along with the primary lesion. He advocated combined procedures that removed the floor of the mouth and tongue in combination with dissection of the neck. He proposed and practiced excision of the sternocleidomastoid and omohyoid muscles, the internal jugular vein, and all the areolar and lymphatic tissues of the neck. His operation,

What You Should Know About Celebrate Brooklyn Artist: Souad Massi
It's not just the countless opportunities to pen passive-aggressive blog posts about strollers: we're lucky to live in Park Slope. Fr'instance, Celebrate Brooklyn brings to the steps of our brownstones one of the best world-music series in the country. That means if we're open to it, we get exposed to talented musicians who aren't even Minnesota transplants to Brooklyn! We get artists like Souad Massi, the genre-bending, courageously political singer-songwriter from Algeria who will occupy (vague political reference!) the bandshell Saturday (doors, 6:30, free show, $3 suggested donation per usual).
Let's start with the sound: Massi's got a malleable voice, stretching from the low, sultry whisper of a love song to stuff calling for some pipes. My female-singer-crush vibes got going pretty quick on first listen. Massi's vocal range works atop a perhaps even more impressive array of musical influences, with instrumentation, rhythms, and sounds from across the globe -- Algerian and Andalusian musical foundations, Western classical strings, flamenco guitars, and flourishes of Indian and African traditions. Check out the sultry sound of 2003's "Ghir Enta," her vocals enriched by the mysterious quality of the deep drum sounds:
Okay, that's a lot of spices, enough to make things pretty delightfully rich. But, lest I scare you off, the real superstructure here is Western folk. That makes her a smart choice from the BRIC folks: enough of the world to expand our horizons, but not so unfamiliar that we get lost. There's still guitar chords and stuff.
Here's a somewhat more uptempo, live cut from her latest album, 2010's O Houria:
Do you want to marry her yet? Well, let's kick up the romance a notch. Massi is a political expat. She not only sings the baby-makin' songs, she speaks out against political repression in her native Algeria. Massi herself, due to threats (of censorship and/or death, depending on which source you Google), fled Algeria for Paris after fronting a political rock band, Atakor. She's now a successful European performer, but still gives a voice to her native countrymen and women.
This will be Massi's first show in the US since 2004, and also marks the 50th Anniversary of Algerian Independence. NYC-based Palestinian violinist Simon Shaheen will open.

Damian Dinning tweets his response to criticism of 8MP PureView camera on Nokia Lumia 920
0. phoneArena 04 Sep 2012, 07:06 posted on
Nokia's camera expert sent out a number of carefully worded tweets in response to the leak that the PureView camera on the rumored Nokia Lumia 920 cant be worthy of the PureView name at 8MP; the rumored Nokia Lumia 920 will still be considered a PureView model by Nokia...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

So is this a sort of confirmation of the 8 MP pureview?
4. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
No, but all will be revealed

As far as I know, PureView is a technology to crunch big images into smaller ones.
With only 8MP do we need any special technology?
And without hi res camera how can we take picture of far objects, a favorite feature of PureView?

he just said is not about the amount of pixels but how the phone utilises it
41. epdm2be (Posts: 487; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
Bollocks. Pureview is all about capturing images with large pixel count and downscaling them to lower photo's. From 38Mpixel sensor to 5Mpixels photo.
Also the first paragraph "But the way this rumor got started wasn't based on any particularly outstanding leak"
The "rumor" started because Windows Phone is technically restricted to 20Mpixel sensor max! Not some s**t about phi or 21-second teasers.
The thing is that the 920 WILL have a larger sensor but it will only use 1 (one) pureview mode. It´ll probably have a 16Mpixel sensor internally and downscales all images to 8Mpixels. This will have a significant effect on picture quality though the 808 PV will still be better. Also his faiytale about that LED is bollocks. Xenon is STILL superior.
This phone sucks! It only uses Pureview as a marketing trick. It's just as iProduct all bling and no substance (and lots of marketing shoved behind it).
I don't believe in it anymore!
I don't believe Nokia anymore!
I don't trust Microsoft anymore!

Nokia reps told us before that the because of the years of development of the 808 pure view in the time of symbian the technology is generally only compatible with symbian software and any version of it in the future brought to windows would have to be a very scaled back modified version. Its most likely a wp pureview would be 5-8 mp at most and would only have small benefits over regular 8 mp cameras

:-\ give atlease a 12mp shooter :-)
25. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
true. 12MP shutter is not too big compared to 8MP. It's slightly bigger but not in a big factor. Use the 12MP used in n8 and utilize some mind boggling DSP.

if its 8mp camera....nokia you are dead....
37. Cyan3boN (Posts: 444; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
didnt u read his tweets nutcase. its not about the pixels.
40. ScottSchneider (Posts: 334; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Yes IT is not about the Pixels. But If the Lumia 920 comes out with the 21er or even say the 41er, Nokia will have a winner in their hands.. n they would sell 920 like hot cakes... There aren't a lot of customers who will go buy products thinking it is not the MP that counts... They buy it for the Tech specs... It is most of the time the Technical Specs the phone has... Every one buy Quad-Core... Probably a year from now, Quad-Core could be gone and the next gen Processors will take over... IF they arent giving the same to the customers who are waiting for the 21er 920, then what is the difference between the Ativ S and the 920...

6. Roomaku (Posts: 278; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
Probably an 8 mp so they can keep the form factor down. It'll still be tight, but the majority of people are going to not even notice Nokia when the the new iPhone comes out... unfortunately :(

Well...a real Pure view 41mp would've saved nokia from further drowning...not sure about 8mp...and any logic/justification Damian use to defend 8mp shooter is waste!!!
9. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
Nokia needs to realise that people are stupid, and would rather have a 41 mp shooter that makes lousy photos (not that it does, this is just an example) and say they got 41mp than to have a 8mp shooter which makes awesome pics.... tis sad but true...
30. weinerslav (Posts: 126; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
Sad but true, you just need to check some comments here (ok, some are already gone) to see how people defend the megapixel count over quality... And this is between people that apparently understand something about technology!!! Doesn't matter how good you are, it only matters that you manage to sell it (and fool a few)

So, he actually said: "It's impossible to put PureView camera in a smartphone and in the same time to keep thin profile and good looking design. So we chose to put 8mp regular shooter, and we will try to fool you that it's PureView."

if its not megapixels that count, then why did they opt for 41 mp in the 808 ?
would have rather gone with 12mp..y get r hopes so high by sayin that PV will b available in wp8..
31. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1545; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I have never been a smart phone Camera freak I like to take pictures with a for real cameras like Nikon SLR's I use not add on cameras. do not put this smart phones camera down until the Pro's review it. PureView is about image processing if Nokia's People have got it right then 8 megapixels will be all you need for a great snapshot

I was an early adopter of the Lumia 800 and suffered 8 months of grief, as it took a series of software updates before the phone finally achieved decent battery life, included the marquee Nokia software and could do wifi tethering. At the end of all that, it was finally a pretty decent phone and then I lost the damn thing. All the talk about Pureview got me thinking that I would buy another Lumia despite my lousy experience.... but if it turns out to be an 8MP camera then forget about it. With Nokia and WP8, you're getting a slick OS and pretty nice hardware but also sacrificing a lot in terms of apps to choose from. To compensate, there needs to be a proposition like low price or awesome camera spec. 8MP just doesn't cut it, no matter how great the tweaks and algorithms.
34. jlscott777 (Posts: 45; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
When you say "people" I assume you are talking about the people who read and comment on blogs like this, you do realize the those people are an incredibly small fraction of all the people who actually buy a smartphone or will buy one. I have found that a good portion of the people that actually own a smartphone do not even know what a megapixel is let alone how many there particular phone has.
35. cornerofthemoon (Posts: 590; Member since: 20 Apr 2010)
I'm disappointed about the pureless view 8MP, but I'll probably get the new Lumia as I'm a complete sucker for the pretty colors...: )
36. EspHack (Posts: 70; Member since: 04 Sep 2012)
now this guy again trying to calm us down like he did when nokia released all the S^3 phones without AUTOFOCUS except for the N8, trying to explain that "we dont need" that feature, f**k you, we(the consumer) are the people who decides what we want to pay for, not you nor even nokia, nokia should know WE want a ridiculous large camera with pureview, and dont say "hey but the phone would be bulky/fat" liar there are 16mp phones (like the titan 2) with nearly the same thickness of the lumia 900, how much can add a 21mp sensor?
nokia this is your last chance, you CANNOT disappoint us
38. Loubielou (Posts: 508; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Some might be interested in the Camera on Windows 8,but its the Functions that need to Improved to make consumers invest into buying them,like Bluetooth Sending an Recieving an the use of micro sd cards on Windows 8,as its got no chance competiting with the Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5,if these are not made available
39. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i just wish that it will be 21MP... nokia is being blind again... yes to us it doesnt need so much pixels but to the consumers eyes, pixels matters... thats why they bought DigiCam and DSLR that has millions of pixels on it!!!
but if it wont be par to 808 pureview's camera that is really groundbreaking, then consumers might think that nokia isnt serious about the game.. they need to bring the pureview tech to lumia in order to survive and they need to make it par and matches the camera lens of 808 pureview...

Larry Hagman, 81, an eccentric Good Time Charlie who played the most popular villain in television history, died Friday in Dallas of complications from cancer.
Mr. Hagman, the son of stage star Mary Martin, appeared in many movies - none of them remarkable - and a raft of stage shows. He starred in five series on television, where his first success came in I Dream of Jeannie. He played Capt. Tony Nelson, astronaut and master to a scantily clad genie (Barbara Eden).
But it was on Dallas, as J.R. Ewing, the smiling, conniving Texas oilman who had a tomcat's libido and lower morals than a snake, that Mr. Hagman gained true fame.

The Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University is pleased to announce that the Stanley Weinstein Dissertation Prize for academic years 2010-2012 has been awarded to Eric Greene for his study of Buddhist meditative practices in China entitled "Meditation, Repentance, and Visionary Experience in Early Medieval Chinese Buddhism." Eric Greene completed his Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 2012. He is currently a Teaching Fellow in East Asian Religions, and as of September 1st 2013, he will be Lecturer in East Asian Religions in the Department of Religion and Theology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
The Selection Committee members were unanimous in ranking Greene's dissertation at the top of a very strong pool of nominations and provided the following report:
"Eric Greene's "Meditation, Repentance, and Visionary Experience in Early Medieval Chinese Buddhism" makes an extraordinary contribution. It presents a new account of the evolution of meditation in Chinese Buddhism, which necessitate serious rethinking about many familiar assumptions of existing scholarship. At the core of this dissertation is a remarkably coherent, rich, and many-sided account of the distinctive Buddhist meditation practice that appeared in the fifth and sixth century in China. Greene makes a strong case that it was only in the beginning of the fifth century that meditation became a regular practice in China. He then spells out how this practice was understood in that period by looking closely at texts that hitherto had largely been neglected, particularly the Scripture on the Secret Essentials Methods of Chan (T. 613) and the Essential Methods for Curing Chan Sickness (T. 620). The main part of the dissertation focuses on the emphasis on visions and repentance in these texts. Meditative practices are specifically linked there to confirmatory visions revealing one's karmic state of purity or impurity. This is in contrast to the later and now more common portrayal of meditation as a prelude to or an expression of Buddhist wisdom. A wider picture of the significance of these themes emerges as more familiar discussions of meditation, visions, and repentance, from roughly contemporary and later periods, are reviewed in the light of the new understanding of meditation practice. We are invited, for example, to rethink Tiantai Zhiyi's massive writings on meditation with a focus on the early and often neglected work; the proposed reading of the elaborate account of Pure Land visualization in the Contemplation Sūtra is convincing. The ground-breaking claims of this dissertation are supported by detailed readings of relevant primary sources. The author meticulously reviews previous scholarship, which is often highly specialized, and subjects it to critical reevaluation. The extended discussion on the modern discourse on visualization sets the stage for the methodologically sophisticated reading of the rich but confusing body of Chinese Buddhist sources."
The Stanley Weinstein Dissertation Prize was established in 2008 to honor Professor Weinstein's many contributions to the study of East Asian Buddhism in North America. The prize will be awarded once every two years to the best Ph.D. dissertation on East Asian Buddhism written in North America during the two previous years. The dissertation must be based on original research in the primary languages and should significantly advance our understanding of East Asian Buddhism. East Asian Buddhism is understood for this competition to refer to those traditions in East Asia that take Chinese translations of the Buddhist scriptures as their basis (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese). Studies of East Asian Buddhist communities in the West are not eligible for consideration. The recipient of the award will be invited to give a public lecture at Yale under the auspices of the Council of East Asian Studies. There is an honorarium of $1,000.
For the next round of the competition, Ph.D. programs in Buddhist Studies/Religious Studies in the United States and Canada will be invited in the future to nominate one dissertation that was completed during the academic years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014.* A call for nominations with complete requirements and instructions for submission will go out during the summer of 2014. The deadline for the next round of nominations will be December 31, 2014.
* Nominations by the authors themselves will not be accepted.
For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stink Update!
He's still doing great and loving school. I told his teacher about the tics and the response was, "It's not been a problem at all. I'll let you know things change." Hooray! I'm not against Stink getting up in front of the class and having the "Tic Talk." But if he's fine, why make him do it and be self-conscious?
As far as the diet adventure goes, I have found that going gluten free/dairy free 90% of the time keeps the tics down. When he eats sugar or refined crap, like this weekend, up go the tics again.
Stink is never tic free. His sister is now showing signs of this crazy syndrome also. However, it's very very manageable and not a real problem at all right now. I have come a long way toward accepting this condition.
Now I get to work on accepting myself since there's no distraction of TS in the way. Wow, that's a fun journey. Where's the webinar for "Tired Mamas at 40 who have no idea what the next 40 years are about/pass the red wine/pass the Zoloft?"
Suggestions are appreciated.

After a three-hour visit with her sons on Saturday (her first since Jan. 3), Britney Spears continued her family time Saturday night, stepping out to Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills with her father, Jamie.
Just before 8 p.m., the pop star and her dad were joined by an assistant, a family friend and two bodyguards for dinner. Clad in a purple silk dress, Spears smiled and appeared in good spirits as she headed inside.
"Britney looked stunning and everyone turned around to get a glimpse of her," says a witness at the restaurant, adding that the group lead Spears to a private dining room. "Everyone seemed extremely protective of Britney."
The party of six dined on a seafood tower with lobster, steak, french fries and lobster mashed potatoes. But Spears's good mood seemed to diminish over dinner. According to an observer, "She seemed quiet." After numerous bathroom and cigarette breaks, Spears and co. left the restaurant around 9:30 p.m., making their way through a pack of photographers with the help of restaurant staff.
Asked if he'd ever helped a celebrity exit the restaurant, a chef told PEOPLE, "Never! It was like being in a war zone. I almost lost my [chef's] hat."

Zambian Climate Ambassadors' Visit to the Netherlands
Our Visit to the NetherlandsBy Unite4climate Ambassadors Brighton Kaoma and Tabitha Nkhata
We were recently privileged to visit Maastricht, the Netherlands to attend the 2nd Annual Research Conference at the Maastricht School of Management (MsM).
Another major highlight of the visit was that on 5th September, 2012, a day after conference, MsM commemorated its 60th anniversary which was blended with a graduation ceremony of postgraduate students in different disciplines.
The colourful event was graced by Her Royal Highness Princess Maxima of the Netherlands. MsM gave us an opportunity of delivering a speech which was received with a standing ovation from more than 600 participants, among them doctors and professors.
Giving a 40 minute presentation on the impacts of climate change on youths during the Annual Research Conference came as a humble and rare privilege to us. The 2ND Annual Research Conference was held under the theme, "Our Youth, Conflict or Prosperity? Entrepreneurship Challenges for Social Sustainability."
It covered eight sub-topics which includes; the impacts of population growth on world prosperity; development of management and leadership skills across the age, gender, and culture divides; protecting children in fragile states and states in conflict; youth entrepreneurship, innovation, networking and public policies; opportunities and challenges for business, demographic dynamics and changing consumption patterns; child and youth development as well as education and the role of policies and institutions.
The conference had two keynote addresses, one given by Prof. Phillip Verwimp, Solvay Brussels School of management, Brussels, Belgium. The other keynote address was given by us! Our presentation focused on the challenges that climate change places on youth with regards to entrepreneurship and social sustainability in line with the conference themes. It highlighted how effects of climate change are affecting Zambia and African youth. The challenges faced by youth in developing countries such as Zambia are worsened by the effects of climate change, as these countries lack the resources needed to adapt to these changes. Floods, loss of biodiversity, an increase in disease prevalence all reduce the opportunities that youth have to make a decent living for themselves. At the same type, youth in Zambia are taking advantage of new opportunities and creating employment for themselves and others through initiatives such as recycling of plastics, providing green energy sources and the like.
We were invited by the Maastricht School of Management because they heard about the work that Unite4Climate (U4C) is doing through UNICEF Zambia Chief, Emergency Ibrahim Conteh and the school asked UNICEF Zambia to select two child climate ambassadors who would present U4C at the youth conference.
We are happy that a staff member from MsM will be in Zambia before the end of the year to discuss with us our further involvement in the institution's projects. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank UNICEF Zambia, UNICEF Netherlands, and MsM for initiating projects aimed at fostering sustainable development not only in Africa but in the entire global community. We are grateful to MsM for inviting us to travel to the Netherlands and share our message of hope for young people.

Democratic Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid has exempted his staffers from needing to buy insurance through Obamacare.
The Nevada lawmaker, who has been one of the strongest supporters of the new health care law, is drawing sharp criticism from Republicans over the decision.
"Sen. Reid's decision to exempt his staff from Obamacare exchanges is the clearest example yet of Obamacare's failures and Washington hypocrisy," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a statement.
"His staff worked to pass it and continue to promote it; now they don't want to be part of it because it's a disaster," he added.
A spokesman for Reid said they are just following the law.
Meanwhile, GOP House Speaker John Boehner and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi have both directed their staffs to join the exchange.

A Woodinville Garden Club thank you
Each year on Saturday of Mother's Day weekend, the Woodinville Garden Club sponsors a plant sale. We own a greenhouse in Woodinville where we raise from seed most of the plants we sell. We begin the seedlings in January and work parties are held every Wednesday and Saturday mornings until sale day. There are times, especially on warm spring days, when we feel guilty about not being in our own gardens toiling away, but we know our work in the greenhouse is for a good casue.
We are a non-profit organization and our proceeds go for the beautification and support of our community. Last year, we donated a substantial amount of money to the new Wilmot Park. We take care of the plant boxes along the main street of Woodinville and at the library and we donate time and money to convalescent centers and hospices in the area. At this year's sale, we introduced several new features, one of which was a quilt, hand sewn and donated by one our members, Pixie Shefner, to be raffled off with the proceeds going to the newly-established Children's Country Home in Woodinville. We were thrilled with your generousity and, as a result, we are able to donate $277 to the home.
We thank you for all your continued support and and look forward to seeing you next year at Ste. Michelle Winery for our sale.
