The Bills shouldn't spend any future assets on this season's team, especially for a single season player. I am not ready to tank or give up on the season, but it doesn't look like we are one player away from greatness. Now, if the only cost is salary, sure, bring the player in and take a look.

Wishing all the best to Bill. Tell him we all want him to get well soon so he can get back to posting!

A Brief Overview of the Endocannabinoid System http://www.medicaljane.com/2015/02/28/a-brief-overview-of-the-endocannabinoid-system/

A follow up to the cannabis documentary 'The Union' is now available on Netflix. If you have Netflix, check out 'The Culture High'. It takes the discussion a bit deeper asking why cannabis remains on Schedule 1.

I like those stadium cheers that pit the fans on one side of the stadium against the other side. Not sure there is enough organization but it would be fun to have one side of the stadium yelling "Cheater" followed 2 seconds later by the other side yelling "Liar", repeating for about 30 seconds.

No need to smuggle it in to the stadium in New England. They put it together in that room with the sinks but no toilet. Just ask the equipment guy nicknamed "Radio Jam Man"

Kinda easy to tell the scalper seats too. Quantity available might be something like 12 or 15 for a given section/row.

I have been following ticket prices to this game for several months. One might think that the prices would be going up just days before the game but they are instead falling. A lot of those season tickets that were bought were bought by re-sellers and they are getting more desperate as game time approaches. Tickets that were selling for $150 a couple of weeks ago are now selling for less than $100.

The reasoning of the judge seems to be mostly technicalities. From the TV summary, he didn't say anything about the cheating

Suspension nullified

Tony Shaloub plays Monk on tv

as the world turns.... 9:30 pm eastern means the Chinese markets are opening Shanghai down again about 6.5% at open. U.S. futures are up by about 260 points on the Dow. The European futures are down about 5% in UK, France, and Germany. Hard to tell the leader in these circular parades.

The dow is up 700 points in the last hour! (down 1000 to down 300 at the moment)

Yeah, it looks sweet but you see that cliff there? That blocks you from getting the Sunday Ticket on the satellite dish.

Not sure of your definition of a wonder drug but I'll put this list up against most any. This is not to say that today it is the best medicine for all of these conditions. In many cases too, it may have been palliative rather than curative. The point that seems to have missed some is that cannabis was considered the best treatment option years ago, before prohibition. The normal medical procedure was to treat with cannabis. Then, it was outlawed. All of the advances that have come to medicine and medical research since 1940 were not used to investigate what was once considered a nearly universal medical agent. It follows that if we now apply this research to cannabis and to the body's endocannabinoid system, discoveries will likely come in surprisingly rapid fashion. It seems incredible that the cannabis plant could suddenly seem to address so many illnesses. Fact is, there is nothing sudden about it. http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap11/MedUses.htm

Are you drinking again Jim? That is not one of your better observations

Kicking DeHaven? You are much more of an idiot than I imagined. Go the !@#$ away, ****! I have asked both you and Tom repeatedly to please refrain from posting in this thread but your illnesses seem to force you both to try to appear relevant when you have nothing to contribute. To anyone else curious about the DeHaven story, here is a link to the Bruce Dehaven has Cancer thread. Go look at all the kicking I did to the poor guy. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/179599-former-bills-coach-bruce-dehaven-battling-cancer/

Surprise, surprise! The other totally useless poster chimes in. Try the same exercise I asked of Tom. Find one real contribution of yours to this discussion. Several posters love to pounce on every pro-cannabis post I make, claiming it is invalid. Where are the links to the research reports invalidating these claims?

Make yourself useful for a change. Go back through this thread and try to find one of your posts that contributed anything to this discussion. I can't recall any

Regarding my description of PTSD... http://www.psychiatry.org/mental-health/ptsd From the American Psychiatric Association's description of PTSD People with PTSD continue to have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience long after the traumatic event has ended. That sounds fairly close to my layman's description of this problem, you pompous prick. PTSD is a disorder where the mind cannot get certain disturbing memories to go away.

I wasn't proposing 3 brackets. I was just trying to illustrate the difference between marginal rate and effective tax rate.

example of 3 tax brackets ( a simplification ) income from .$0.01 - $100,000 is taxed at 30% income from $100,000 - $200,000 is taxed at 60% income greater than $200,000 is taxed at 90% (the marginal tax rate is 90%) If income is less than $100,000, the effective tax rate is 30% If income is $200,000, the first $100,000 would be taxed at 30% ($30,000). The income between $100k and $200k is taxed at 60% (so $60,000). Adding $30k and $60k we get $90k on $200k income, yielding an effective tax rate of 45% If income is $300,000, the first $100k is taxed at 30% ($30,000), the second $100k is taxed at 60% ($60,000), and the dollars over $200k are taxed at 90% ($90,000). Adding 30 + 60 + 90 = $180,000 tax on $300,000 income, yielding an effective tax rate of 60%

Some of the scientific/medical terms can be difficult to understand. As mentioned before, I am not a medical professional but following was how I read things. - Cannabidiol, or CBD, is just one of the very many cannabinoids found in cannabis. This study points out that CBD, a non-psychoactive substance, can alleviate the withdrawal symptoms from giving up whole cannabis, including THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid. - PTSD is a disorder where the mind cannot get certain disturbing memories to go away. CBD seems to allow those affected with this fear disorder to better compartmentalize those disturbing memories.

Next time you hear that we need to do more research before approving cannabis as medicine, consider most FDA approved medicines get tested far, far less before approval. Here is a list of clinical studies and surveys involving cannabis or cannabinoids. Make use of the search function to save time. http://www.cannabis-med.org/studies/study.php
