NEW JERSEY WANTS TO BAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA?!? (BLOG)

Image
TRENTON - A bid to force the Christie administration into rewriting proposed medical-marijuana rules that patient advocates call too strict won support from state Senate and Assembly committees Monday.  The resolution, if passed by the full Legislature, would effectively veto draft rules released by the Department of Health and Senior Services last month. State officials would have 30 days to rewrite them. In January, New Jersey became the 14th state to legalize medical marijuana for patients suffering from a list of mostly chronic illnesses. But sponsors say the administration's plan to implement the program is more restrictive than called for in the law, which already was considered the most conservative in the country. Top among their concerns are a reduction in the number of distribution centers statewide from six to four and limits on the strength and number of strains of marijuana that can be sold. The rules make it appear as if "the administration does not want ...

Microsoft's got a blockbuster on its hands. The company said it sold more than 2.5 million Xbox Kinect units since launching the product earlier this month—making it one of the hottest selling E-toys for the crucial holiday shopping season. In fact, the hands-free controller system for Xbox 360 is such a hit it's sold out at many retailers and is commanding premium prices on Ebay.

No More Unemployment (BLOG)

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Although the deadline to file for extended unemployment insurance is officially Nov. 30, many jobless have already filed their last claim for benefits. And since lawmakers aren't moving to  extend the deadline  anytime soon, many more unemployed Americans will run out of their extended federal benefits in coming weeks. About  2 million people are expected to stop receiving checks  in December. State unemployment agencies are very concerned about the impending end to these extended jobless payments, which they say people depend on to cover their rent and buy food. "It's a critical safety net program," said Nancy Dunphy, New York State's deputy commissioner of labor for employment security. "This is the worst time of year to be running out of benefits." 99ers: The unemployed need help! Federal jobless payments, which last up to 73 weeks, kick in after the state-funded 26 weeks of coverage expire. These federal benefits are div...
