There's a lot I have wanted to write about but...alas...my medical condition is sliding, especially the degenerative spinal/neural/muscle issues. I've been living with pain that only a Guantanamo tortured prisoner, spinal injury or cancer patient can appreciate. In the case of neurological conditions doctors claim there's not much they can do except sit an enjoy the show.I have not "literally" slept for over 3 weeks (maube 15-30 minutes a night total) due to intractable nerve pain, so my keel isn't to even, nor is my mental state.Strange but the thought has kept invading my mind that I won't be around next year, been sorti...

There is no doubt this is going to be a very bumpy ride. But what the hell. Joomla is a content management system in the same manner as does Wordpress. The similarities stop there, and it will take time to rebuild the site, get posts imported etc.

Terminator Salivation:
The first movie in my in-flight review series lived up to its expectations. This baby is not even a rental, yet the perfect mush to help pass the time on a trans-Canada flight.
Christian Bale is not as hot as I thought he was, I much preferred the sexy death-row guy who gives his body to science only to find out years later he’s a machine. And a damn sexy one.
My imagination makes this guy a lover and not a warrior, as he turns out in the movie. Instead of blow up dolls, these fleshy metal hunks could safely take a load and turn into my seed into some sort of green energy.

Book Review:A Body Worth Defending: Immunity, Biopolitics, and the Apotheosis of the Modern BodyBy Ed CohenBiological immunity as we know it does not exist until the late
nineteenth century. Nor does the premise that organisms defend
themselves at the cellular or molecular levels. For nearly two thousand
years "immunity," a legal concept invented in ancient Rome, serves
almost exclusively political and juridical ends. "Self defense" also
originates in a juridico-political context; it emerges in the
mid-seventeenth century, during the English Civil War, when Thomas
Hobbes defines it as the first "natural right." In t...

This editorial is based on a short trip I took to South Africa earlier this year.
April 2009
In 2006, then-U.S. Senator Barack Obama and his wife Michele traveled to Kenya, Obama’s father’s homeland where many of the senator’s extended family still lived. The Obamas publicly took an HIV test during their trip, an important moment as sub-Saharan Africa is the region most affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis, with more than 2/3 of the world’s infections.
For every outspoken leader on HIV/AIDS like Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, there have been as many ...

Our research on the political economy of antiretrovirals (ARVs) is motivated by a key puzzle: why were AIDS activists and AIDS policy entrepreneurs successful in putting universal access to treatment on the international agenda when so many other global campaigns–whether in health care or other issue areas like climate change–have either failed or struggled to have much impact.

The U.S. Senate voted 62-38 late Wednesday to approve legislation that will extend funding to the U.S. government for 30 days after the Sept. 30 end of the current fiscal year. Included is a measure to maintain HIV/AIDS programs funded by the Ryan White CARE Act for the next month.
The U.S. House passed the measure Sept. 25. The legislation buys time for Ryan White, but does not permanently renew funding for the programs. At stake is at least $2.1 billion in funding that props up H...

U.S. House approves measure to extend Ryan White funding for 30 days
Measure to continue key HIV funds still must pass Senate
By LAURA DOUGLAS-BROWN
Sep 25 2009, 7:15 PM
The U.S. House on Friday approved a resolution to extend funding for the legislative branch for 30 days, including a measure that continues funding the Ryan White CARE Act, a key HIV/AIDS program.
The continuing resolution must still pass the U.S. Senate, which is expected to take it up next week.
Once the resolution is approved by both chambers, it will enable funding for Ryan White to continue until the end of October. Within that time, Congress must pa...

Pot dispensaries sue L.A. over moratorium
Medical marijuana collectives’ suit comes as the city struggles to write a new ordinance.
By John Hoeffel
September 23, 2009
A newly formed association of Los Angeles medical marijuana collectives has challenged the city’s efforts to control dispensaries, claiming in a lawsuit that the 2-year-old moratorium is unconstitutionally vague and that the City Council violated state law when it extended the ban until mid-March.
The lawsuit, filed late Monday, is the first to take aim at the city’s attempts to halt the explosive growth in dispensaries. It comes as the City...

By RACHANEE SRISAVASDI and SALVADOR HERNANDEZ
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
SANTA ANA – Do cities have the right to ban medical marijuana dispensaries?
The answer may hinge on a lawsuit being heard today before California’s 4th District Court of Appeal. A group of medical marijuana patients – called the Qualified Patients Association – are appealing an Orange County Superior Court judge’s dismissal of their lawsuit that challenged an Anaheim ordinance ...

chers—
sarah armstrong spoke to these points at the PLUM meeting tuesday, and her analysis is quite coherent, so i thought i’s pass it along. (applies to 11th hour new version as well as old)
namaste

Sarah said the proposed ordinance:
1. Allows police to enter dispensaries at any time to nose around. Since 14 LAPD are cross sworn as federal DEA Agents, this probably isn’t a good idea. [Section 46.71]
2. Requires dispensaries to register the names and contact info of their cultivators with the LAPD, presumably so that the 14 cross sworn officers can find them easily. [Section 46.64 Section b numb...

Delay in LA
by Don Duncan
about medical marijuana
September 23rd, 2009
Los Angeles City Councilmember Dennis Zine told a standing room only crowd at Tuesday’s Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee hearing that an ordinance that does not recognize sales of medical cannabis would not work for Los Angeles, but he is worried about creating a policy that violates state law. The Councilmember’s ambivalence is part of the confusion that dominated yesterday’s marathon committee meeting. The PLUM committee voted to continue the debate on the regulations, Zine’s motion for more study into relevant case law, and a...

Argentina rules on marijuana use
The supreme court in Argentina has ruled that it is unconstitutional to punish people for using marijuana for personal consumption.
The decision follows a case of five young men who were arrested with a few marijuana cigarettes in their pockets.
But the court said use must not harm others and made it clear it did not advocate a complete decriminalisation.
Correspondents say there is a growing momentum in Latin America towards decriminalising drugs for personal use.
The Argentine court ruled that: “Each adult is free to make lifestyle decisions without the intervention of the state....
