You never know what kind of reaction you will encounter when sharing a photograph. When I showed this photograph of an Osteopilus septentrionalis, or Cuban tree frog, to a co-worker, she responded with: "That gives me a severe visceral feeling of disgust!" Not quite the reaction I was looking for form this shot. I did not even know what "visceral" meant, but it was not good. OK, it is the largest tree frog in the United States, has toe pads big enough to lift a car, is slimy and croaks an eery raspy snore. So if you have batrachophobia and this picture jumps out at you, sorry, but at least the frog did not have fotografizophobia. GRANT JEFFERIES/Bradenton Herald

ADVANCE FOR MONDAY, JULY 28 -- FILE - In this March 27, 2014 file photo is a marijuana vaporizer in Bloomington, Minn. After years of failed efforts, Minnesota lawmakers last session passed one of the nation’s strictest medical marijuana laws. Patients can only use a pill, liquid or vaporized form of the drug, and only those who suffer from eight illnesses. The state's real work has now begun, ranging from the mundane, like securing office space, to hiring a research director to help determine dosages and placing eight dispensaries across Minnesota.

Wanted: Manufacturers for new medical pot program

Dr. Marshall Brinton saw the headlines after Minnesota passed a medical marijuana law, looked around at the equipment in his old veterinary laboratory and thought: Yeah, I could do that.
