Operating Room Equipment Injury
Were you looking for 3M Bair Hugger Infections or daVinci Robot or Duodenoscope Infection Risk or Hospital Burns or FDA Warns Against Laparoscopic Power Morcellation or Stockert 3T Heater-Cooler System Infection or Stryker Triathlon Knee Implant Injury lawsuits?
A number of surgical procedures involving operating room equipment result in operating room injury. Although most surgeries are successful, some can go wrong and they are often not the result of the surgical team. Most common are burn injuries from OR fire, which can be caused by defective medical equipment. If you were injured during surgery and believe it was caused by a defective medical device, you should speak to an operating room injury lawyer.
Operating room injury lawsuits are product liability cases where a personal injury has occurred due to defective OR equipment. A successful OR injury lawsuit must prove that the equipment was defective and directly caused injury or death. Medical device manufacturers may be liable for damages if: (1) the product has a defect in the design that causes injury and (2) the manufacturer failed to recall a product found to be dangerous.
Operating Room Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 51 million inpatient surgical operations were performed in the US in 2010. The operating room environment is considered a potential fire hazard. Statistics indicate that hospital burn injuries are increasing: A 2003 report by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations indicated that 100 surgical fires are reported each year, resulting in up to 20 serious injuries and one or two patient deaths. By 2008, The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System reported that OR fire accidents affect between 550 and 650 patients a year. And it is believed that some OR fires are not reported. Although the FDA has set guidelines regarding hospital fire safety, hospital injury lawyers are investigating an increasing number of hospital burn lawsuits.
Operating Room Fire Injuries
Causes of Hospital Fires include three factors:
Electrosurgical tools called "Bovies" start about 70 percent of all surgical fires. These tools use a high-frequency electric current to cut tissue or stop bleeding. About 20 percent of hospital fires are sparked by burrs, defibrillators, hot wires or light sources, while approximately 10 percent are ignited by lasers. DaVinci Surgical Robot Injury The daVinci surgical robot, used in many surgeries across the US, was designed to make surgery less invasive. But DaVinci robot lawsuits against Intuitive Surgical, the manufacturer, claim that flaws in the design have caused serious complications, permanent injuries and death. Most reports involve burns to internal organs and intestines, some of which were not apparent until after surgery. In February 2013, the Da Vinci system was involved in 70 patient deaths, according to Bloomberg News.
After Intuitive admitted that not all components were tested according to standards of compliance, the FDA in 2013 conducted a Class II recall of 30 components used in the technology.
A personal injury was filed in July 2015 by an Oregon man claiming he was burned by powerful surgical lights during toe surgery. The Oregonian reported that the man filed an $805,000 lawsuit against the Marion County hospital. Acording to the Associated Press, in January as many as 2,100 patients may have been exposed to intense ultraviolet radiation in three operating rooms over a 14-month period. The hospital had replaced halogen lights in its operating rooms but not filters designed to screen out UV radiation in September 2013.
Surgical Lights Injury
Endoscopic procedures have been linked to the spread of drug resistant bacteria. In 2009 the FDA began to review sterilization procedures in order to determine how best to reduce the risk of contamination. Two years later, healthcare providers were issued guidelines addressing the rise in incidents where patients contracted drug resistant bacteria following endoscopic procedures. In 2013 the CDC found a link between the use of endoscopes and the spread of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae. Further, the CDC recommended to healthcare that they disclose the risk of infection to patients considering endoscopic procedure.
Endoscopic Procedures Injury
The Trocar or Veress needle used in laparoscopic surgery has been linked to bowel injury, a rare but serious complication of laparoscopic surgery. The FDA in 2003 advised Trocar manufacturers and device regulators to provide better information on the inherent risks associated with trocar use, including clear, complete, and accurate trocar use information with each product sold.
Trocar Injuries

Regulatory Concern Mounting Over Power Morcellators, Adverse Events Reports
Washington, DC: In a blog posted to the official website of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October of last year, the regulator's Director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health noted that a survey conducted the year prior involving hospitals demonstrated that numerous reports of Ovarian cancer cells spread by power morcellators were not shared with the FDA's adverse reporting system. An accompanying inspection found that in many cases hospitals had no system in place for staff to submit reports to the FDA or device makers; and that staff did not always know, or were not properly trained with regard to the reporting of injuries and deaths associated with medical devices [READ MORE]
Stockert 3T Heater-Cooler System Confusion and Concern

Cincinnati - February 2, 2011 -
If space is an issue and you're just growing your wine collection, then a wine cabinet is your solution. Wine Cellar Innovations introduces a new line of custom refrigerated wine cabinets - beautiful, whisper quiet and definitely an attractive addition to your home, they serve to protect your wines for years.
Their new line of custom built-in refrigerated wine cabinets allows them to fill a void that has been in the wine storage industry for many years - fully customized wine cabinet options available direct to the consumer at an affordable price point. No longer is space an issue. Wine Cellar Innovations has been designing custom wine cellars and wine rooms almost 25 years, and they have finally answered a common request. Many homeowners these days are not interested in overhauling or adding an entire room to properly store their wine, but they are requesting instead for a 'storage space' to be created for them. Wine Cellar Innovations' new Wine Sentinel line of wine cabinets are designed to maximize wine storage bottle capacity, while minimizing the overall space of the cabinet and storage area. The units also feature an attractive French door entry system, making it a truly unique and attractive feature to prominently place in any area of the home.
Designed internally and externally according to the client's needs, they also ensure these refrigerated wine cabinets are properly insulated, as they include a properly specified wine cooling unit for the area. The entire storage area is also greeted by 1 or 2 sets of elegant French doors which are also geared with proper insulation values and weather-stripping. Tinted windows can also be provided in order to minimize light exposure to protect the wines, yet still provide you with a nice view of your collection. The wine cabinets can also include glass racks so you can hang stemware right in the cabinet with your bottles. Another advantage to having a custom wine cabinet is that it allows you to easily store your wine accessories as well.
About Wine Cellar Innovations
Wine Cellar Innovations is the industry leader in the design and production of custom wine racks and wine cellars and has been for over 20 years. The company is located in Cincinnati, Ohio and employs design consultants all over the country to provide customers with local service and exceptional quality. Their wine racks have been purchased and installed worldwide.

Wanaka is one of the most jaw droppingly scenic locations in New Zealand is located around 1 hour from Queenstown. During Winter the small town of Wanaka transfrms into a bustling base for New Zealand's Ski Season. Both the Kiwi Experience and Stray New Zealand hop on hop off buses stop over in Wanaka and it is a great place to stop if you are venturing throughout New Zealand by car or campervan. Whether you are planning on spending a few nights here, or you are just stopping by for the afternoon – here are the top 10 things to do in Wanaka!
1. Aerobatic Flight
This is possibly one of the scariest things I have ever done and the views of Lake Wanaka are stunning! Learn how to fly a plane with a 2 X national aerobatic champion as you zoom over Wanaka. Packages range from $149 to $299 depending on your comfort levels. Opt for a more relaxed, scenic flight lesson for you and one other person, or learn how to barrel roll and flip a 2 seater purposely built aerobatic plane – amazing!
2. Paddleboard & Kayak
Lake Wanaka is one of the most tranquil and scenic lakes in New Zealand, surrounded by huge mountains that cast a painting like background. It is also one of the cheapest places in New Zealand to hire a Paddleboard or Kayak and packages can be arranged to suit your needs. Paddle Wanaka offer everything from guided kayak tours, morning SUP Yoga classes, SUP rentals, Kayak rentals and more!
3. Walk to the top of Mt Iron
We all love free things! The walk will take you about 2 hours return from Base Wanaka and will reward you with 360 degree views of Lake Wanaka. The walk is moderately easy but there are a few loose rocks coming down so ensure that you wear sturdy shoes. TIP: Start from the Puzzling World entrance to make the most of the scenery on the way down.
4. Indoor Rock Climbing
Fun for everyone – whether you are a beginner to rock climbing or an expert. Base Camp Wanaka is an adult adventure theme park. Try your hand at Bouldering, practice your skills on the advanced wall, or race your friends up the Clip n Go Wall. Entry is only $20 plus $5 for shoes. It will take you about 40 minutes to walk there. My tip: hire a bike for $25 and make the most of your afternoon. The cycle will take just 10 minutes from town.
5. Roy's Peak Hiking Trail
You have probably seen a photo getting around on Instagram from the top of Roy's Peak - there's no doubt that the top of the mountain provides one of the best photo ops in NZ. Allow around 5 to 6 hours return to reach the summit of Roy Mountain from Lake Wanaka. The track begins 6km from the town centre of Lake Wanaka at the Roys Peak Track carpark. More info here.
6. Explore Lake Wanaka by Bike
Bike Riding is one of my favourite ways to explore new destinations – it is cheap and easy! Bike hire is around $20 to $30 for half day rental and can be arranged by the staff at Base Wanaka. The lake front has a bike track that will lead you from one side of the lake to the other. The track is flat terrain so great for all levels. I suggest riding to Eely Point for a secluded beach experience or to Waterfall Creek for a rainforesty feel. If you are keen on Mountain Biking, there are loads of tracks for all levels just a short ride from Base.
7. Puzzling World
Bizarre, cheap and great for a hangover! A tricky maze, rooms full of illusion and abstract and mind baffling buildings. Entry is cheap and Puzzling World is just a 15 minute walk from Base reception.
8. Skydive Wanaka
Voted by one of our Base veterans as the best exit point in New Zealand. With Skydive Wanaka you will gain views of the Southern Alps, New Zealand's tallest mountain Mt Cook, World Heritage Mt Aspiring National Park, Glaciers, Lakes & Lord of the Rings Country from 15,000ft!
9. Have A Shot
Golf, Driving Range, Claybird shooting, Mini Golf, Archery, Cropool (a giant sized cross between pool and croquet) & Rifle Ranges: don't knock it until you've tried it! I've recently fell in love with the sport of shooting and it is definitely worth trying at least once in your life. Activities range from $5 to $50.
10. National Toy & Transport Museum
Sounds geeky but there is so much to see and do here! You will find vintage toys that will take you on a nostalgic trip through to your childhood, as well as rare, unusual and vintage aircraft, cars, trucks, fire engines, military vehicles and more. Entry is just $17.

These are very compact and complex circuitry. I knew the engineers who designed these. Tomlinson Holman was one of them. Good news! Excellent design, and sound. But bad news, these units always, always develop intermittent board connectors, usually have bad capacitors due to age, use, etc. So cost to repair is always about $200. Last unit I sold in truly correct working condition was about $300. My recommendation is to consider getting Japanese HiFi from the 1980s. Pioneer, Marantz, Kenwood, etc. They are better made receivers, more serviceable, lower cost to buy used. Advent 300 are rare and can be OK if serviced carefully. We can repair these machines!

The very well known and respected "Dunstan" brand was developed in the mid 1980's when the process of extrusion was innovatively introduced into the NZ feed manufacturing industry.
Since then, the "Dunstan" brand has become one of New Zealand's leading equine feed brands.
When pasture is limited Dunstan Betabeet and Dunstan Sugarbeet provide a great additional fibre source. If you are planning to head to Horse of the Year start your horse on Dunstan Betabeet or Dunstan Sugarbeet to ensure adequate fibre intake and to assist with rehydration.
To ensure your horse is looking his best at Horse of the Year or for the rest of his autumn season add Dunstan Muscle'n Shine.

Rana X. Adhikari, Are We Alone?
Host Janna Levin is joined by Rana X. Adhikari to discuss the origin of life on this planet, on other planets, and even in other universes, in anticipation of the October 6, 2016, Scientific Controversies event Are We Alone?
Adhikari is a Professor of Physics from Caltech and one of the key experimentalists on the LIGO project.
About Scientific Controversies:
Major scientific discoveries can disrupt the traditional order, leaving scientists adrift in concepts that resist familiar intuitions and beliefs. Of the new ideas that emerge, some will be wrong and some will be right. Honest and open scientific controversy helps disentangle one from the other. For the Pioneer Works series Scientific Controversies, we take a look at profound topics at the frontier of physics that have inspired unresolved debates.

LC's as displays. Why do we need something besides the CRT? Vacuum! How heavy does a CRT have to be to be strong enough to maintain vacuum, since the e-beam has to travel from gun to phosphor screen? This is a fundamental limitation. By contrast, the limiting size of LCD's = production yields of large, defect-free films. There is no fundamental limitation, merely a matter of engineering. 12 The problem is CRTs have a heart of glass!
Casio Hybrid Projector Actually, this isn't an LCD display. Doesn't use a lamp either…. $800 gets you a "hybrid" light source with DLP technology. Animated GIF of how it works.

The invention of the TFT made this practical in large arrays. The TFT was invented in 1973 by Westinghouse (120 x 120 pixels in 6" x 6" array = 0.05"/pixel). By this time, the USA had already ceded other video technology, such as video tape recording, to the Japanese. TFT/LCD panels met the same fate. 19
About 40% of Corning's $4.6B revenues in 2006 came from LCD glass. So…how do you make a perfectly flat, bubble-free piece of glass? Plastics' role: under 30" the sandwich can be made from plastic. From some website: The liquid crystal is placed between the two sheets in a patterned plastic sheet that divides the liquid into individual shutters and keeps the sheets at a precise distance from each other. There are opportunities for polymers in this game. 20

The most common error students make in writing these kinds of papers is simply describing events rather than analyzing them. A good critical paper will rely on your own judgment while relying on external information to find evidence that supports the claims made.
Critical analysis, just like the Critical Essay, doesn't necessarily mean that you are supposed to criticize or express your negative attitude towards something (a piece of art, a theoretical framework, a book etc). Critical analysis is a part of critical thinking, which, according to the National Council in Critical thinking, can be defined as: "the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness".
Simply saying, whenever you are asked to critically analyze something, you are expected to take a look at the object of analysis, do some background research, point out the strengths and weaknesses of the described object and provide your logical reasoning to support your claims. In academic settings critical analysis can be used for a number of purposes, ranging from literary analysis to analyzing theoretical frameworks.
In our everyday practice, we get to work on many critical essays. The most common error students make in writing these kinds of papers is simply describing events rather than analyzing them. A good critical paper will rely on your own judgment while relying on external information to find evidence that supports the claims made. Let's take a closer look at writing a critical analysis paper in the literature using the following critical essay example: "Discuss the concept of life-long learning".
When dealing with this kind of essay writing, you will need to take the following steps:
PrivateWriting.com is dealing with a wide range of critical essay topics. We can write critical analysis papers on a number of academic disciplines starting from Music, Poetry, and Literature to Philosophy, Architecture. In case you are in need of a critical analysis paper, feel free to contact our support department with your assignment criteria and they will provide you the necessary assistance in writing the order based on your requirements. PrivateWriting is the service you can rely on!

For your protection, please avoid entering personal information, like phone numbers or email addresses.
Right pane has several boxes. In the Order Progress box you can see the status of the paper. The Assignment Criteria box is used to view your current assignment criteria or to upload additional instructions. Please note, that you cannot delete or change instructions. Please make sure you upload all instructions before the project is started.

Track List
Album Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a comprehensive document of a great band with endless secrets to reveal, even now."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is an odyssey both emotional and educational."
Paste (magazine) - "The generous allotment of live tracks offers fans of the band's concerts a chance to hear how the songs have evolved onstage -- the layers of muscular guitars that propel 'The Late Greats,' for example... "
Album Notes
Liner Note Authors: Frank Riley; Bill Bentley; David Bither; John Stirratt; Nels Cline.
Illustrators: Brian Methe; Miguel Chorda.
Photographers: Joshua Kessler; Tony Margherita; Pat Sansone; Jeff Sciortino; Jay Blakesberg; Zoran Orlic; Daniel Coston; Marina Chavez; Paul Natkin; Chris Gorman ; Kevin Wilson; Austin Nelson; Sue Tweedy; Danny Clinch.
In the book that accompanies Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994-2014, a four-disc collection of rare and non-LP recordings by Wilco, former Reprise Records publicist Bill Bentley admits that no less a legend than Doug Sahm thought he was making a mistake when, after Uncle Tupelo abruptly and acrimoniously broke up, Bentley opted to work with Jeff Tweedy's new band rather than Son Volt, Jar Farrar's post-UT project. "Come on, Bentley, you gotta go with the other guy," Sahm said, "he's gonna happen." Which was certainly the conventional wisdom when Wilco and Son Volt launched in 1994 -- most fans seemed certain that Farrar was going to go on to a brilliant career on his own, and Tweedy's band would be a fine but lesser commodity. But those bets were off after Wilco released their ambitious, game-changing second album, Being There, in 1996, and in the years that followed, it became clear that Tweedy was a stronger songwriter, a more imaginative sonic visionary, and a keener judge of collaborators than he'd had the chance to show in Uncle Tupelo. Two decades on from their debut, Wilco have created a large and impressively diverse body of work, and Alpha Mike Foxtrot is a massive odds-and-sods collection, bringing together 77 tracks from singles, promo releases, movie soundtracks, bonus discs, and downloads from Wilco's website. Alpha Mike Foxtrot plays like an alternate history of Wilco, and most of what's here is every bit as satisfying as what the band delivered on its first eight studio albums, if more idiosyncratic; it traces the evolution of the band from early solo cassette demos Tweedy cut in his living room to extended workouts from the lineup that solidified after the release of A Ghost Is Born, as Wilco grew from a spirited alt-country combo to a rock band as adventurous and eager to innovate as it was engaging and tuneful (Tweedy's simple but powerful way with a melody is the surest unifying factor that holds these songs together). And the plentiful live tracks here demonstrate how willing Tweedy and his bandmates have been to give their songs new shapes on-stage (a ten-minute live recording of "Spiders [Kidsmoke]" is a tremendous showcase for Nels Cline's stellar guitar work), and there's a fistful of studio tracks that didn't fit on an album but sound splendid in this context, especially the Replacements-styled "Student Loan Stereo," the soulful "The Thanks I Get," and the faux-live pop/rocker "The Good Part." In the strictest sense, nothing on Alpha Mike Foxtrot is unreleased, but there's a lot here that's never been available for general public consumption, and while the sheer bulk of this set means it's most likely to be heard by hardcore fans, anyone with a genuine interest in Wilco will find a lot of great music that fell between the cracks on this set, as well as a fascinating map of the many roads Wilco did and didn't take. ~ Mark Deming

Stir-fry chicken with wood ear fungus
12 comments:
Thanks for dropping by. Please click on 'Anonymous' if you do not have a blog but do leave your name after the comment because I would like to know who you are.
I love these fungus cooked with meat. I prefer the smaller thinner ones which are softer. Another lovely dish you have cooked. Love it with rice.ReplyDelete
I have a huge pack of wood ear mushrooms in the cupboard and haven't touch it yet. So, this is a good recipe to try. :)ReplyDelete
I can't remember the last time I had wood ear fungus. Your chicken pieces look very generous! Good on you :)ReplyDelete
so glad to see wood ear used in a recipe. i haven't been able to find any yet, but recently read about the health benefits and have been interested in trying to cook with it. looks tasty!ReplyDelete
An awesome stir-fry! I've been hearing a lot about wood ear fungus lately and would love to find it and try!ReplyDelete
Think the softer ones are cloud ear fungus, what we call 'wan yee', they're softer and not so crispy. Normally, we use that in steam chicken or cook 'chai choy', vegetarian dish.
Give it a try and if you don't want to feel heaty, fry it with ordinary cooking oil, not sesame oil.
Thanks. Can also cook it with pork and nam yee.

Wood ear fungus is supposed to lower cholesterol. This dish is tasty.

Two policemen were injured and eight people arrested in the riots recorded last night following the arrest of a woman who refused to remove the niqab during a control of identification in a suburb of Brussels, the French-speaking RTBF television reported. Burqas and niqabs (full face veils) have been banned in Belgium since 2011. But, as usual, Muslims think they are above the law.
In Moelenbeek, Brussels, police stopped a Muslim woman in a full-face covering veil for an ID check. She refused to show her face, so they escorted her to the police station, where she again refused to comply with their demand that she show her face. The woman, described as a 25-year-old convert to Islam who had already been booked many times for similar offences, was extremely aggressive. She struck several of the police officers, breaking the nose and knocking out 2 teeth of one policewoman, and injuring another, both of whom required hospital treatment.

'Freedom of Choice Act' nightmare for bishops, pro-lifers
America's Catholic bishops have been talking about abortion and politics at least since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, but their discussion this week in Baltimore had a special sense of urgency – driven by what many bishops and their pro-life advisors regard as a looming nightmare scenario under the new Obama administration in the "Freedom of Choice Act," or FOCA.
Candidate Obama pledged to support the Freedom of Choice Act, which was first introduced in congress in 2004 but to date has not made it out of the committee stage. It acknowledges a "fundamental right" to abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy and at subsequent stages for health reasons. It would also bar discrimination in the exercise of the right "in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services or information."

The Congressional Cannabis Caucus
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., left, and Dana Rohrabacher, D-Calif., two of the four U.S. congressmen who have launched the Congressional Cannabis Caucus. Photo by Tom Williams—CQ-Roll Call,Inc
With public support for reforming marijuana laws at an all time high, Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Jared Polis (D-CO), and Don Young (R-AK) have formed the first-ever Congressional Cannabis Caucus to promote sensible cannabis policy reform and to ease the tension between federal and state cannabis laws.
The official establishment of a Congressional Cannabis Caucus represents yet another step forward toward ultimately reforming cannabis policy at the federal level. The creation of this caucus is yet another manifestation that our political power is growing — even inside the beltway.
Click here to email your Congressional Representative and urge them to join the Cannabis Caucus today.
NORML has been in this fight for over 47 years, representing the position that responsible adults who choose to consume marijuana should not be be persecuted or stigmatized. Throughout the country, our chapters are organizing to advocate for state level reforms. NORML represents a growing community of individuals who are coming together and working toward the mutual goals of building a more just and verdant society.
The end of marijuana prohibition will not come overnight. In fact, the forces of prohibition remain strong and the misinformation campaign that has spanned from Reefer Madness to D.A.R.E. is deeply entrenched in the psyches of lawmakers and voters alike. But just as we have for decades, we will not be deterred.
In order for our state and federal laws to be more reflective of the cold truths of reality and science rather than hysteria and racism, we must continue to educate our legislators and neighbors alike. Having a coalition of lawmakers in Washington, DC who will go on the record in support of advocating for cannabis freedom is something we haven't had before, but it is an event that is long overdue.
So let's keep building.
Send a message to your member of Congress now and tell them to join the Cannabis Caucus and support sanity in marijuana policy.

Pro-Pot Lawmakers Launch a Congressional Cannabis Caucus
12:10 AM Central
Four members of the U.S. congress are banding together to protect the growing marijuana industry.
A bipartisan group of federal lawmakers launched the Congressional Cannabis Caucus in a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday afternoon. Republican congressmen Dana Rohrabacher (California) and Don Young (Alaska) joined Democrats Earl Blumenauer (Oregon) and Jared Polis (Colorado) to launch the new group. They are dedicated to developing policy reforms that can bridge the gap that currently exists between federal laws banning marijuana and the laws in an ever-growing number of states that have legalized it for medical or recreational purposes.
"We're stepping forward together to say we've got to make major changes in our country's attitude toward cannabis," Rep. Rohrabacher said at the start of the press conference. "And if we do, many people are going to live better lives, it's going to be better for our country, better for people, and it makes economic sense at a time when every penny must count for government."
Various polls show that a majority of Americans support legalizing marijuana in some form, and a strong showing in November's elections pushed the number of states that have legalized medical cannabis to 28, while another eight have voted for recreational legalization. (Notably, each of the four congressmen forming the Cannabis Caucus represent districts in states that have legalized both medical and recreational pot.)
In recent years, under President Barack Obama, federal law enforcement mostly left individual states alone to enact and enforce their own marijuana legislation. Three years ago, Congress passed a bill that prohibited the Justice Department from using federal funds to target cannabis operations that comply with local laws.
Hemp Industries Association Sues DEA For Ignoring 9th Circuit Decision in HIA v. DEA (& Please sign this petition for Hemp)
Hemp Industries Association Sues DEA
For Ignoring 9th Circuit Decision in HIA v. DEA
In 2001, the DEA issued new rules to ban hemp foods despite the fact that Congress had exempted them in the Controlled Substances Act. The HIA, Dr. Bronner's, Nutiva and other plaintiffs went to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge the illogical rules and won a victory. This ruling prohibited DEA from treating legal hemp products as controlled substances and helped the burgeoning hemp foods market to take off.
Despite this victory and the clear order from the court prohibiting DEA from enforcing the rules, DEA has continued to put out incorrect and confusing information advising the media and state officials that hemp foods are still illegal if they are intended for human consumption!
Today the HIA filed a motion with the court to ask that DEA be found in contempt for refusing the follow the courts order. You can read the filing here.
Let American Farmers Grow Hemp Once Again to Create Jobs and Rebuild the Rural Economy – Sign This Petition
Created by E.S. on January 20, 2017 – Sign This Petition
Industrial hemp was once a dominant crop on the American landscape. This hardy and renewable resource was refined for various industrial applications, including paper, textiles, and cordage. Unfortunately hemp was conflated with marijuana but hemp can't be used as a drug.
Over time, the use of industrial hemp has evolved into an even greater variety of products, including health foods, body care, clothing, auto parts, construction materials, biofuels, plastic composites and more.
Farmers in Europe, Canada and China all grow hemp and over $600 million in imported hemp products were sold in the USA in 2016. Congress has 2 bipartisan bills which would bring back hemp farming and create rural jobs. We request that President Trump work with Congress to pass hemp legislation in 2017 – Sign This PetitionSign This Petition
Hemp Industries Association Files Petition Against DEA
Hemp Industries Association Files Petition Against DEA to Defend Lawful Hemp-Derived Products from Agency Overreach
19 Jan 2017 5:41 PM
Suit Seeks to Defend Hemp Farmers, U.S. Businesses and Consumers from Illegal Attempt to Schedule Non-Psychoactive Hemp Derivatives as 'Marihuana Extract'
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Hemp Industries Association (HIA), the leading non-profit trade association consisting of hundreds of hemp businesses, filed a Petition for Review on January 13, 2017, in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, seeking to block the implementation of the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) recently announced Final Rule regarding "Marihuana Extract." The proposed DEA Final Rule attempts to unlawfully designate hemp-derived non-psychoactive cannabinoids, including cannabidiol, as "marihuana extract," and append the Controlled Substances Act to add all cannabinoids to its Schedule I. Furthermore, this action by the DEA contravenes clear Congressional intent and legal parameters for the production and consumption of hemp-derived products containing cannabinoids, enacted by Sec. 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill).

The DEA does not have the authority to augment the Controlled Substances Act; that power resides with Congress. Congress has clearly mandated, through the 2014 Farm Bill and the 2016 Omnibus Spending Law that the Controlled Substances Act does not apply to hemp grown in state pilot programs, and that it is a violation of federal law for agencies such as DEA to interfere with these programs. The DEA's proposed rule regarding cannabinoids thumbs its nose at Congress and threatens to undermine the market for legal hemp products containing cannabinoids, including those produced in the U.S. under state laws that regulate hemp cultivation and processing pursuant to, and in accordance with the federal Farm Bill. These products, such as hemp foods and supplements, fall outside the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and are not subject to regulatory control by the DEA.
"Hemp-derived products containing cannabinoids are an increasingly in-demand category within the hemp market—and U.S. consumers constitute the largest market for hemp products worldwide," said Colleen Keahey, Executive Director of the Hemp Industries Association. "We are committed to defending the rights of our members, of entrepreneurial hemp farmers, businesses and consumers, who all are acting entirely within the legal framework of the CSA and Farm Bill, including those adversely affected by trying to source American-grown hemp and hemp derivatives to supply this demand. The DEA's attempt to regulate hemp derived products containing cannabinoids lawfully sourced under the CSA, and farmed and produced under the Farm Bill in states like Kentucky and Colorado, is not only outside the scope of their power, it's an attempt to rob us of hemp's economic opportunity."
The DEA has made previous attempts to interfere with legal hemp products, notably from 2001-2003 when the agency contended that hemp food products such as cereals, hemp seed and hemp oil, are a Schedule I substance due to trace insignificant residues of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. On February 6, 2004, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in response that hemp is not included in Schedule I; that the trace THC in such products is similar to trace opiates in poppy seed bagels, and does not render them controlled substances. The HIA believes this 2004 ruling sets strong legal precedent for the current petition, which asserts that cannabinoids derived from lawful portions and varieties of the Cannabis plant exempted from control under the CSA and through the Farm Bill, may not be regulated as "marihuana" or "marihuana extract" by the DEA.
More recently, in 2014, the DEA interfered with the implementation of state pilot programs for hemp farming, when the agency unlawfully seized 250 lbs. of certified industrial hemp seed imported from Italy. The viable hemp seed had been legally sourced to supply six hemp research projects licensed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and coordinated in conjunction with Kentucky State academic institutions. The seed was quickly released, following the filing of a lawsuit against the DEA on May 14, 2014 by then Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner, now U.S. Congressional Representative James Comer.
"Over a decade ago, the Ninth Circuit held that non-psychoactive hemp is not controlled by the CSA," said Patrick Goggin, co-counsel for the HIA. "The DEA is again attempting to schedule under the CSA cannabinoids and non-psychoactive hemp beyond its authority. We believe the Ninth Circuit will invalidate this rule just like it did in 2004."
To date, 31 states have passed hemp legislation that allows their farmers to cultivate hemp according to guidelines set forth in the Farm Bill. Per these guidelines, U.S. farmers planted nearly 10,000 acres of hemp in 2016. Farmers and agri-business across the country have invested many millions of dollars in infrastructure to comply with federal law; this retroactive misreading of statute puts the livelihood of these law-abiding companies and individuals at risk.
Recent DEA pronouncements indicate that DEA is threatening to flout prior court rulings, and assert regulatory authority over hemp seed, oil, and products made from hemp seed and oil, which have always been exempt from the Controlled Substances Act. HIA continues to monitor these developments, and will consider further actions to resist DEA's unlawful attempts to regulate legal hemp products.

Eric Steenstra is stepping-down as executive director of the Hemp Industries Association
A message from the Board of Directors
Eric Steenstra is stepping-down as executive director of the Hemp Industries Association (HIA). Going forward, he has decided to work full time lobbying Congress and states on behalf of industrial hemp legislation via his role as President of Vote Hemp. Eric is a respected figure of the hemp industry with twenty-four years of service, and HIA and Vote Hemp will continue to work closely together for full re-commercialization of hemp under federal law.
Since cofounding his hemp clothing business Ecolution in 1993, Eric's commitment to the hemp movement has been remarkable. He became a founding member of the HIA in 1994, and fought alongside David Bronner and fellow hempsters to stop the DEA's attempted ban of hemp food and oil from 2001-2004. Eric served on the HIA board for a decade, from 1997-2007. In 2008, he stepped into the role of HIA Executive Director, following the retirement of former executive director Candi Penn.
During his nine years of executive leadership, the HIA has grown substantially both in membership and annual event attendance. He also created the popular chapter program, co-created and helped build key education efforts and marketing initiatives, such as the HIA's Hemp History Week program.
Eric's legacy in the hemp industry is deeply admired-he has demonstrated discerning, passionate leadership. In addition to his service with HIA, Eric pioneered the cofounding of Vote Hemp in 2000, of which he remains President. Under his leadership, Vote Hemp has become the nation's foremost hemp lobbying organization working towards full re-commercialization of industrial hemp. Vote Hemp lead the effort to pass breakthrough hemp language in the Farm Bill and has helped passage of legislation in dozens of states.
It is our hope that Eric will shepherd the Industrial Hemp Farming Act to become law during the 115th Congress, and we are grateful to him for focusing his insight and experience toward this important task. You can reach Eric at email@example.com and (703) 729-2225
After a formal review, we would like to announce our decision to name Colleen Keahey as new Executive Director. Colleen has been working with Eric Steenstra as National Outreach Coordinator with Vote Hemp since June of 2014. Colleen joined Vote Hemp after assisting with the development and passage of Tennessee's hemp law. She left her role as publisher at a Tennessee non-profit trade association dedicated to rural water industries. In 2014, Colleen founded the first state chapter of the HIA in Tennessee (TNHIA). Colleen successfully contributed to hemp pilot program rules and regulations and also held eighteen meetings as leader of TNHIA. Colleen's skills in non-profit trade association management will bring new opportunities to the HIA and its members. This transition will not disrupt current projects or campaigns, nor interrupt any services HIA provides to its membership. Members are encouraged to reach out to Colleen with any questions or concerns; she can be reached via firstname.lastname@example.com and at (707) 874-3648.
We look forward to serving you in 2017-a new year full of opportunity. Join us in congratulating and honoring Eric Steenstra for his years of service! And join us in welcoming Colleen Keahey as the new Executive Director for our association.

Kentucky approves 12,800 acres for hemp planting in 2017, tripling the previous year's figures
Growers must pass background check
6:46 AM, Jan 6, 2017
FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) has approved 209 applications from growers who have been approved to cultivate up to 12,800 acres of industrial hemp for research purposes in 2017, nearly tripling the number of acres that were approved for 2016. More than 525,000 square feet of greenhouse space were approved for indoor growers in 2017.
"By nearly tripling hemp acreage in 2017 and attracting more processors to the state, we are significantly growing opportunities for Kentucky farmers," said Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles, in a news release. "Our strategy is to use KDA's research pilot program to encourage the industrial hemp industry to expand and prosper in Kentucky. Although it is not clear when Congress might act to remove industrial hemp from the list of controlled substances, my strategic objective is to position the commonwealth's growers and processors to ultimately prevail as national leaders in industrial hemp production."
The KDA received a total of 252 applications – 234 grower applications and 18 processor/handler applications. Applicants were asked to identify which harvestable component of the plant would be the focus of their research (floral material, grain, or fiber); some applicants selected more than one component.
In addition to grower applications, KDA approved 11 new applications from processors (in addition to 29 previously approved multi-year processor applications that were not required to reapply). Five universities will also carry out additional research projects in 2017. KDA officials cited the recent decline in commodity prices as one factor that appears to be generating increased interest among Kentucky's farmers in industrial hemp and other alternative crops.
In 2016, 137 growers were approved to plant up to 4,500 acres. Program participants planted more than 2,350 acres of hemp in 2016, up from 922 acres in 2015 and 33 acres in 2014.
To strengthen KDA's partnership with state and local law enforcement officers, KDA will provide GPS coordinates of approved industrial hemp planting sites to law enforcement agencies before any hemp is planted. GPS coordinates were required to be submitted on the application. Participants also must pass background checks and consent to allow program staff and law enforcement officers to inspect any premises where hemp or hemp products are being grown, handled, stored or processed.
"We have made collaboration and communication with the law enforcement community a top priority for KDA's management of this research pilot program," Quarles said.
Staff with the KDA's industrial hemp research pilot program evaluated the applications and considered whether returning applicants had complied with instructions from KDA, Kentucky State Police and local law enforcement. To promote transparency and ensure a fair playing field, KDA relied on objective criteria, outlined in the 2017 Policy Guide, to evaluate applications.
The KDA operates its program under the authority of a provision of the 2014 federal farm bill, 7 U.S.C. § 5940, that permits industrial hemp pilot programs in states where hemp production is permitted by state law.

A Kentucky-based hemp seed grower is the first company to have its seeds approved and officially certified by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
DENVER – A Kentucky-based hemp seed grower is the first company to have its seeds approved and officially certified by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
Lexington, Kentucky-based Schiavi Seeds LLC had three separate seed varieties certified as CDA Approved Certified Seeds under the new program, which aims to promote hemp agriculture in the state.
CDA has worked with CSGA and Colorado State University over the past several months to breed plants that produce seeds under the 0.3 percent THC content threshold to qualify as hemp and not psychoactive marijuana.
Varying seed types were grown and tested in trials in different parts of the state in order to find ideal conditions for hemp cultivation.
Colorado law requires industrial hemp seeds to contain less than 0.3 percent THC. Three trial seeds from Schiavi Seeds – Eletta Campana, Fibranova and Helena – passed trial tests and were accepted by the state Seed Growers Association's review board.
CDA says seeds submitted by Fort Collins-based New West Genetics have also passed the THC trial, but still have to be accepted by the review board before they can also be labeled as a CDA Approved Certified Seed.
Congress approved hemp production in 2014, but a state certification like Colorado's is necessary to raise the crop.
Colorado farmers will be able to start buying and growing the seeds next year.
Senator Perry Clark has pre-filed a bill for the 2017 legislative season that pertains to legalizing marijuana in the state …
Almost one year after filing the Cannabis Freedom Act, Kentucky State Senator Perry Clark has pre-filed a bill for the 2017 legislative season that pertains to legalizing marijuana in the state.
Filed on December 6 for the January, 2017, legislative season, the new bill is called the Cannabis Compassion Act and is filed as BR 409. Nevertheless, little has changed between the wording of the proposed laws of 2015, 2016, and the new 2017 Cannabis Freedom Act.
Now, voters will get another chance to see if this Kentucky marijuana legalization bill will fizzle out or get accepted into law.
Alternatively, the fact that recent elections have replaced some candidates could mean the newcomers are more receptive to marijuana legalization than their predecessors.
Before the elections, Norml gave most of Kentucky's congressional members a poor rating for their lack of support for any type of marijuana legalization. The exceptions are Republican pro-marijuana legalization advocates Senator Rand Paul and Representative Thomas Massie.
In particular, it was noted that many Republican Kentuckians in the House of Representatives voted against the 2016 Veterans Equal Access Amendment.
While these elected officials in the U.S. House of Representatives might not be voting for federal legalization of medical marijuana or cannabis, there is still hope that the Kentucky State Senate will have new members that decide to vote for marijuana legalization.
Ballotpedia points out that the Kentucky State Senate had "19 of 38 total seats… up for election in 2016." The outcome of this election did have some surprises, such as a large number of state senators running for re-election while also being unopposed.
Another interesting note in history is that the current bipartisan makeup of 11 Democrats and 27 Republicans in the Kentucky State Senate has remained the same before and after the election.
This meant that there was no shift in the number of Democrats or Republicans at the Kentucky State Senate before or after the November 8 elections, but there will be a few newly elected officials voting on the Cannabis Compassion Act in 2017.
On the other hand, Kentucky might need to worry about Republicans voting against marijuana legalization because many members of the GOP are not as anti-marijuana legalization as they were in the recent past.
For example, Atlantic quoted Bill Bennett, former Education Secretary under George W. Bush, at a panel discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference, titled "Rocky Mountain High: Does Legalized Pot Mean Society's Going Up In Smoke?" During the panel discussion in 2014, Bill Bennett said there "used to be a strong conservative coalition opposed to drugs."
However, in 2014, it was clear to Bill Bennett and other GOP members that the conservative anti-marijuana legalization viewpoint was dissipating in the face of mounting public support for legalization. Bennett concluded with the sentiment that Republicans are "fighting against the tide" on the legal marijuana issue.
In the past, the issues with marijuana legalization in Kentucky in 2016 centered on behind-closed-doors meetings about the proposed law.
Two Kentucky state senators that were commonly quoted as being unsure about passing a marijuana legalization law in the state were John Schickel and Jimmy Higdon. Both of these senators are still in elected positions, and this means they will have another chance to vote on marijuana legalization in January, 2017.
For example, the last update about the 2016 marijuana legalization law in Kentucky was around September, according to WFPL. At that time, it was determined that the 2016 Cannabis Freedom Act was "assigned to a committee but never received a hearing."
Kentucky state senator Jimmy Higdon was quoted at that time saying that he was not sure how the bill would manifest, and also said marijuana legalization might only be implemented for "end-of-life situations."
Although Senator Jimmy Higdon's remarks stand out, an attempt to push the 2017 Cannabis Compassion Act may not be futile despite it being denied in the past. For instance, it appears the Kentucky State Senate was expecting there to be another marijuana legalization bill to vote on in 2017.
In July, North Kentucky Tribune spoke with Kentucky state senator John Schickel, and he was paraphrased as saying that while the Cannabis Freedom Act "never made it to the Senate floor for a vote," the issue is still considered relevant and "legislators want to further research the issue prior to the start of next year's session in January [2017]."
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, other pre-filed bills for Kentucky to vote on in 2017 include increasing penalties related to narcotics.
Cannabis convict Eddy Lepp free from prison
Lepp, age 64, hailed as a "marijuana martyr" by supporters
By Lisa M. Krieger | email@example.com
PUBLISHED: December 7, 2016 at 9:59 am | UPDATED: December 8, 2016 at 9:16 am
SAN FRANCISCO — Free after eight years of federal imprisonment, one of the nation's most celebrated cannabis convicts came home to California on Wednesday, walking off a United Airlines flight into the warm embrace of supporters — and a profoundly changed world.
Charles "Eddy" Lepp, a defiant 64-year-old Vietnam vet and ordained Rastafarian minister, was convicted on federal felony charges in 2007 for doing something that California now considers legal because of last month's passage of Proposition 64: growing marijuana.
"I'm very honored. I'm very humbled. Thank you so much for caring," Lepp told friends and family at San Francisco International Airport, tears streaming down his creased cheeks.
Then he vowed to fight for national legalization of cannabis and presidential pardons for first-time nonviolent drug offenders.
"Just because I went to federal prison doesn't mean I got off the horse," said Lepp, who will be on drug-monitored probation for five years. "It is still a long, long ride — and I'll be there when it's done."

Legalize marijuana for the state's sake
Editorial Board
In 1996 California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana. Since then 28 more states have approved the drug for medical use, with another eight, including California, allowing adults to use the drug recreationally. Unfortunately, Kentucky has been slow to adapt, despite the many benefits legalizing the drug would provide.
Back in the day, Kentucky used to thrive growing tobacco. That same land, rich for growing tobacco, is ideal for growing marijuana, which can also be used to produce hemp, a versatile product which can be manufactured into paper, textiles, clothing, food, plastic, and a multitude of other products.
Marijuana would also be useful as a medical alternative for many in the state who are dependent on prescription drugs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kentucky has the highest cancer rates of any state in the country, largely due to our large dependence on the coal and mining industries, which has left countless hard-working Kentuckians with lung cancer. The U.S. National Cancer Institute has said that marijuana kills cancer cells along with alleviating the nausea and other symptoms associated with chemotherapy, which poses a much more effective alternative to prescription drugs.
With so much of our state crippled by a dying coal industry, legalizing marijuana would be an enormous jobs creator for people looking to farm the crop and others looking to get into the business side of the industry with dispensaries.
While stigmas still exist surrounding the drug, the issue of marijuana legalization is slowly becoming more of a bipartisan issue that draws support from both Democrats and Republicans, including Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, who has said in the past that he plans to sign a medical marijuana bill into law during his time in office.
It has become a trend in the mainstream media to avoid one of the most pressing issues, not …
States that have approved the drug for recreational use, such as Colorado, tax the drug, and use the money in a variety of ways, from helping the homeless, to improving infrastructure and education. In 2016 alone, Colorado is expected to bring in over $1 billion in tax revenue from marijuana.
If a similar system of policy was applied in the Bluegrass, money could be used for better education throughout the state, a hot-button issue under Bevin's administration due to his proposed, but unsuccessful, cuts to higher education. Revenue could also go towards helping revitalize eastern Ky. along with infrastructure, homeless, and veterans, following in the footsteps of Colorado's successful endeavor with the green.
According to a 2012 poll by Kentucky Health Issues, 78 percent of Kentuckians support the legalization of medical marijuana. It's time for our lawmaker's throughout the state to come together and enact a policy to reflect the will of the people. The longer we wait, the more potential tax revenue we miss out on that could go to benefitting Kentuckians in need. It's time to
