Treat....??

More than 7,000 New Yorkers have signed up to obtain non-smokeable marijuana preparations early this year through one of the most cautious medical marijuana programs in the nation. Now, the state is looking to expand it, with plans for home delivery and more dispensaries.

State health officials say they will also allow nurse practitioners to authorize medical cannabis, and are weighing proposals to make chronic pain a qualifying condition for medical cannabis. To make it easier for patients to find doctors, the state may post an online list of physicians who participate in the program.

Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia now have medical marijuana programs. Enrollment rates vary considerably.. Michigan has 182,000. Rhode Island, which has a population 1/20th of New York's, has nearly 12,000.

healthcare providers are stumped when drug after drug failed to curb children's violent seizures.  
For sick patients, it really works.
Many joined New York's fledgling medical marijuana program. Early great results reported. Need more info.  Just a thought.

Lost Cell?

The case began when Denise Huskins' boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, reported that kidnappers broke into the couple's Vallejo home, abducted her, and demanded an $8,500 ransom.
Quinn's lawyers have said he awoke to a bright light in his face, and two kidnappers bound and drugged him.

The 29-year-old Denise turned up safe two days later in her hometown of Huntington Beach, [200 miles plus], where she says she was dropped off. She showed up just hours before the ransom was due.

Later that day, Vallejo police said at a news conference the kidnapping was a hoax.

"The fact that we've essentially wasted all of these resources for really nothing is upsetting," said Lt. Kenny Park during an interview in March.

The case  took another bizarre twist when federal prosecutors announced they charged a soon-to-be disbarred Harvard-trained lawyer with her abduction.

Authorities say this case may have finally come together because the suspect in all of this, 38-year-old Matthew Muller, apparently left his cellphone behind at the most recent home invasion. He's now suspected in a string of violent crimes.

The FBI says Muller was charged last month after he was arrested in South Lake Tahoe in connection with a home-invasion robbery that had similarities to the kidnapping.

The couple, stood with their hands held tightly, with the  attorneys who called for the Vallejo Police Department to issue an apology.

Many thought this case is a hoax. It came to an end because of the police actions or lack thereof which emboldened the kidnapper.   Just a thought.

Is it over...?

Okay, everyone can go home now. Time to wrap this election up. The Almighty has cast his vote for president, and the forecast is grim: cloudy with a chance of Trump.

Do you see it? The sweeping wisps of hair, the angular nose, the smug mouth, the soft chin (weak!).

The undeniable likeness of presidential candidate Donald Trump was spotted in the skies over Chicago on August 15, and we humans carried on like this wasn't a sign from God himself that Donald J. Trump will certainly be the next president of the United States.

The image was originally posted by Fox 32 Chicago and then tweeted out by Trump's executive vice president, Michael Cohen (of "Says who?" fame), late Saturday night. [By Peter Wade Sep 4, 2016 ]

For some, this may be itttttt.    Just a thought.

A Model of Mercy.

Swindled?

Hillary Clinton’s Plan for Lowering Prescription Drug Costs.   [Summery]

A typical senior on Medicare spends over $500 per year out of his or her own pocket on prescription drugs. And individuals with chronic health conditions or serious illnesses can spend thousands of dollars each year in out of pocket spending.

Americans are having a hard time paying the bill.  “One of out every four people facing higher drug costs were also unable to afford medical bills or medications; one in five said they missed a payment on a major bill.”

In her 2008 campaign, she called for allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies to reduce prices and rein in costs.

1. Her plan will demand a stop to excessive profiteering and marketing by denying tax breaks for direct-to-consumer advertising and demanding that drug companies invest in R&D in exchange for taxpayer support – rather than marketing or excessive profits.
2. She will encourage competition to get more generics on the market and create a Federal backstop for when there are excessively high-priced drugs that face no competition.
3. She will cap what insurers can charge consumers in out-of-pocket costs, putting money back in the family wallet. Monthly $250
4. Require drug companies that benefit from taxpayers’ support to invest in research, not marketing or profits.  
5. Prohibit “pay for delay” arrangements that keep generic competition off the market. 
6. Allow Americans to import drugs from abroad – with careful protections for safety and quality. 
7. Allow Medicare to negotiate drug and biologic prices.

The efforts of Hillary Clinton as written here is Half Hearted efforts. Too much dancing with the words. No full explanation to the conditions people are in.

Not enough Hill. Do better Assasmant. Show some passion to fix it.                                                 Just a thought..

Unfavorable..

 

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll showed. Fifty-six percent of Americans share an unfavorable impression of Clinton--the highest it’s ever been in her nearly 20 years of public service.

Were it not for Trump, Clinton would reign as the least popular major-party presidential nominee in modern American history, the Washington Post noted. According to the poll, business mogul has a 63 percent unfavorable rating among Americans.

 Clinton’s negative image is essentially equal to Donald Trump’s. Thirty-eight percent of registered voters have a favorable impression of Clinton, while 59 percent do not. That’s on par with Trump’s 37/60 split.

The poll found that unfavorable ratings are increasing among three demographics that have traditionally supported Clinton. Among women, her favorables dropped from 54 percent to 45 percent; with Hispanics, 71 to 55 percent; and among liberals, her ratings fell from 76 to 63 percent.

It may be difficult to isolate why Clinton has experienced such a significant decline since the conclusion of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, the Washington Post said, but it speculated that recent headlines questioning the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the State Department and her noticeable absence on the campaign trail probably haven’t helped her.

Something is happening here.... Just a thought.

Insane...

 

The Indianapolis woman quoted biblical Scripture in court documents. She said that a parent who "spares the rod, spoils the child," and: "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol."

The woman, a Burmese refugee granted political asylum in the U.S., also is pointing to cultural differences as part of her defense. 

Kin Park Thaing said she stopped her son from dangerous behavior that would have seriously harmed his 3-year-old sister. Thaing, documents say, hit both children with a plastic coat hanger before telling them to pray for forgiveness.

A doctor at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health found 36 bruises across the boy's back, thigh and left arm. Three photographs submitted to the court show deep purple lines striping the boy's back and several welts on his arm. The boy has one curved bruise on his cheek in the shape of a hook on a coat hanger.

Hiding behind the bible is the first stupid act she did. She should live the Bible first before using  punishment. After jail, she should be sent back to Burma.  Just a thought.
