US MA: Mass Says New Pot Law Allows Other THC Drugs, Too
Asheville Citizen-Times, 29 Dec 2009 - BOSTON -- Guidelines for a new Massachusetts law that ends minor marijuana arrests say the law may also apply to other drugs with the same psychoactive ingredient, such as hashish. The guidelines obtained Monday by The Associated Press say the law that takes effect Friday ends criminal penalties for possession of an ounce or less of THC - the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, hashish or hash oil.

Times Finally Runs Display Advertising on Front Page [Dead Trees]

It  once might have raised hackles for the Times to carry a display ad on the front page. Now the only scandal is that the paper waited so long.

Today the paper carries a front-page ad for CBS. Well, sure. It's hard to be shocked by that after the paper's first mass layoffs, a junk rating for its debt, a planned mortgage of its headquarters building and a deep company dividend slash.

Besides, the Times already had display ads on section fronts (since 2006) and the occasional classified on the front. The Wall Street Journal (since 2006), USA Today (since 1999), Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune all have front-page ads. The Washington Post is now the most prominent paper to have held out against them.

In 1851, when the Times started publication, it was not uncommon for advertising to crowd news out entirely from the front page. Even by the 1890s, the first two or three pages of the New York Herald contained no news at all. (It's not entirely clear from the Times' cautiously-phrased story today if it ever carried front-page ads during this era.)

The only thing outrageous about the Times' decision is its tardiness. Ten years ago, the paper could have fetched a truly outlandish premium for the honor of front-page placement. Today the novelty has been eroded by competitors like the Journal, and the economy is in the tank. As with his mortgage, dividend cut and planned sale of other assets, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. slept far too many nights on this decision.

Fresh Images From Park Chan Wook’s Vampire Picture THIRST

When fresh images from Oldboy director Park Chan Wook’s much-anticipated vampire picture Thirst turned up in the Korean media earlier this weekend I must confess that I was a little bit underwhelmed, having seen considerably more in the promotional materials and sales reel presented at the American Film Market in November.  I passed on posting them up originally but not to worry - I’ve come to my senses.  This is the new Park Chan Wook, after all, and while these are relatively old to me they’re certainly not to you and so I’ve gathered them together and put them in a gallery for your perusal.  And if, before browsing, you;ve been asking yourself why the Korean media have suddenly released these things, the answer is a good one:  production has apparently gone so well that they’re ahead of schedule and now on track for a much-sooner-than-anticipated April theatrical release in Korea.  Focus have the film here in North America but have not yet set a release date.

Check below the break for the full HAF synopsis for this tale of a lustful priest-turned-vampire and hit the link below for the images.
