In recent months, the federal Justice Department has engaged in concerted efforts to crack down on the proliferation of medical cannabis related activities in states that allow for its therapeutic use under state law, including California, Montana, and Washington.

Nonetheless, the imprimatur of the state apparently carries little if any weight with the Obama administration at this time despite promises (reiterated before Congress just last week by US Attorney General Eric Holder) that such prosecutions are not a (federal) priority and that the Justice Department only intends to target those entities who use marijuana in a way thats not consistent with the state statute.

Predictably, todays CBS special report tells a different story.

Federal authorities are planning to crack down on the medical marijuana business in Colorado on a large scale for the first time.

Warning letters will be going out to dispensaries and grow facilities near schools, CBS4 investigator Rick Sallinger has learned.

Learning manners can be a lifelong venture. But the basics can be taught in preschool. While parents can expect mistakes, learning manners at the preschool level is not out of the question. Here are some ideas on how you can teach your preschooler manners.

There are lots of good books about manners. Call your local library or do an online search for books that have to do with manners. They do not have to be how to books; while those are fine, engaging stories that showcase polite behavior are also appropriate. The same would be true for DVDs and videos, too.

The signs of this medical disorder include altered bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea), black stools, weight loss, reduced energy and stomach discomforts. Majority of the cases of colorectal cancer in children occur due to this genetic disorder. Familial adenomatous polyposis is marked by formation of polyps, which are growths protruding within the lining of the child’s rectum or colon. As

Tracking where humans migrate and cluster in any given country from season to season is, in some places, a tall order. Which makes tracking the risk of infectious disease outbreaks that thrive in dense populations tricky as well.

Satellite images of nighttime lights could be the answer, according to researchers at Princeton, who report on their findings today in the journal Science.

Using nighttime images taken of Niger’s three largest cities between 2000 and 2004 by a U.S. Department of Defense satellite, and checking those images against public health records compiled by Niger’s Ministry of Health, they saw that new measles cases clearly occurred in the brightest areas.

“Temporary and seasonal migrants are very hard to measure,” says Deborah Balk, a professor at the City University of New York who’s been following what she calls in the school news release “pathbreaking” work.
