It’s about smoking weed!

For many mothers of newborns, lingering pain from the delivery can interfere with their first days with their infant.

Presumably encouraged by the positive Internet response to Monday’s Treme trailer , and yesterday’s Boardwalk Empire , HBO has apparently decided to release a new trailer every day until both shows debut. Today, a new new trailer for Treme , this one featuring actual dialogue! We hadn’t realized a show by Wire creator David Simon set in post-Katrina New Orleans could be this much fun; yes, there are characters searching for missing relatives and piecing together broken lives, but there’s actual humor and awesome jazz here, too

Increasingly common insurance plans that encourage patients to receive care from physicians who keep medical costs lower are based on unreliable estimates of doctor performance and may not achieve the intended savings, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

Efforts to steer patients to lower-cost physicians may be based on misleading rankings, study finds
All clinical trials have guidelines that clearly state who can and cannot participate, but according to the National Institutes of Health these guidelines are typically based on age, gender, previous treatment history, the type and stage of a disease, and other medically relevant factors. However, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have gathered evidence indicating that some trials explicitly exclude individuals based on their sexual orientation. Their findings are published in a research letter appearing in the March 18 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Image: S2-P2-P6, by sculptor Roxy Paine . About a year ago I was wandering around Maker Faire Bay Area thinking about polymerization. Collin had recently posted his now-world-famous cymatics video , and I was standing around talking to the TAP plastics folks about whether it might be possible to “freeze” cymatic forms by applying the sound waves to some kind of polymer resin that could then be solidifed, almost instantaneously, by adding a drop or two of catalyst

We’ve seen a fair few universal remote add-ons for the iPhone and iPod Touch ( New Potato Technologies’ FLIPR , L5 Technology’s L5 Remote and, of course, the Power A iPhone Universal Remote Case being the most notable) and now we have another in the form of the i-Got Control Universal Remote which will work with the iPhone, iPod Touch and, when you eventually get it (assuming you ever wanted one), the Apple iPad tablet, thanks to being iPad-Ready. The i-Got Control iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad Universal Remote, which comes in the form of both hardware, namely a IRB1 accessory which connects to your device’s 30-pin dock connector, and a free i-Got-Control App, which is set to be offered via the App Store, is said to come complete with over 40,000 IR codes for consumer electronic devices already stored and, should you have a device that isn’t in the App’s database, there’s no need to worry as you’ll have the option of adding it thanks to ‘i-Got-Control’s user-friendly learning capabilities’.

A new site called MovieClips launched this week, and it is, no surprise, a database of movie clips, all of which are licensed and embeddable; plus, you can tailor them to start and stop at whatever point you’d like (see below). Movieline found the site a little lacking — there are no clips from Titanic or Jurassic Park or North by Northwest , for instance — but perhaps you will not.

(PhysOrg.com) — For centuries biologists have known that bird bones are hollow, and even elementary school children know that bird skeletons are lightweight to offset the high energy cost of flying. Nevertheless, many people are surprised to learn that bird skeletons do not actually weigh any less than the skeletons of similarly sized mammals

It’s not really a shock that some of the the hi-tech geeks who work for Microsoft would enjoy the iPhone over the (usually) dreadful Windows Mobile devices. But, as it turns out, they’re forced to hide their iPhones from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Very few employees will use an iPhone openly, some disguise them in “old” smartphone cases (Palm Treo 680, anybody?).

Last month, almost two-thirds of the existing-home transactions in the market were either foreclosures or the resales of previously foreclosed-on properties, according to the latest Realty Studies report from the W.
