Trying to find people who might have taken Clomid both on 3-7 and 5-9 to see if they O'd on different days. I normally take it 5-9 and have been ovulating CD20. I'd really rather ovulate earlier than that. My doctor has increased my dose to try and make me O earlier but it hasn't worked so far. I have heard that if you take it earlier you might O earlier? Like I may O 11 days after my last pill so if I take it 3-7 I'd be O'ing on CD18 instead? I'd love to hear any experiences you have with taking it on different days.
Will taking Clomid earlier mean an earlier O?

One of many upcoming online features allows property owners to seek building permit inspection requests online
LAKEWOOD, Wash., (March 7, 2011) - On March 14, the City of Lakewood will launch an online inspection scheduling feature on the city's website. This tool will allow citizens and contractors to request an inspection for building permits, issued by the city, at any time of day in a matter of minutes.
"This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to make city services more user-friendly," said Lakewood spokesman Jeff Brewster.
The turnaround time for scheduling inspections will remain the same as requests received from the current phone message line. The number for requesting inspections will still be available and can be dialed at (253) 512-2266. Questions regarding the inspection process should be directed to the Community Development Department at (253) 512-2261.
The online feature will be available through this link: /departments/community-development/inspection-request.html.

Introduction On November 17, 1999 I witnessed the execution of death row inmate John Lamb at the Walls Unit in Huntsville, Texas. I had begun corresponding and visiting John several years earlier, after I responded to his advertisement asking for a pen pal. I had been doing low-level anti-death-penalty work as a member of Amnesty International for two decades, but had never had contact with a death row prisoner, and when John's ad mentioned he was a fan of The Grateful Dead, a band I loved, I decided to contact him. At the time his case was winding through appeals (the state of Texas "lost" his case for five years), and the possibility of him actually being executed someday seemed remote. Over the years I (and another Amnesty member) sent John's inmate fund money so he could buy extra food and drink at the "prison store" at Ellis Unit One facility where he was imprisoned; John primarily used the money for postage and to buy art supplies. Over the years he made dozens of paintings, copying and tracing animals, flowers and Grateful Dead symbols from books, and which he sent to me and a few other people. He once even made an intricate jewelry box out of toothpicks for my wife. Until I returned to Huntsville in November to be with him when he was killed, I had only visited him in person twice. Rather than go over the details of his crime, arrest, trial and appeals, I want to provide a kind of memorial for John by describing my feelings, thoughts and experiences as they occurred during my time in Huntsville last week. Monday night Nov. 15th I was going to witness the execution because I didn't like the idea of John being killed with no one there who would truly care about him as a person. I didn't think anyone deserved to spend their last minutes on Earth surrounded by people who wanted to kill him and then go on with their own lives. Some friends of mine questioned me about why I would want to do such a thing. In fact, John indicated in a newspaper interview the previous week that he had given me permission to attend, but didn't know why "anyone would want to watch it." I knew the first thing I wanted to do the next morning was talk to John, and let him know that if he didn't want me there, I wouldn't be – that it was for him, not for me. Many of the comments I received helped me clarify things in my mind, but my thoughts were still swirling as I arrived at Houston Hobby airport. I was not present when my mother died. I realized that by seeing John die, he would become the first person I'd actually seen die before my eyes. I connected the two things. By being with John, I could also help make up for not being with my mother. In a bizarre way, knowing exactly when John was scheduled to die made this possible. So it could be my way of saying to my mother, "I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, but I'm doing it for another person in honor of you." My son Michael also helped a lot by emailing me that I was doing something "purely good." This reminded me of a Talmudic discussion. The short version is, that when we prepare a body for burial, or attend a funeral, we are doing the only mitzvah (commandment/good deed) for which we can not hope for repayment from the one we're helping. All other mitzvot might be considered selfish, because we could have the expectation that the person will do one for us someday. Doing tahara, preparing a dead body for burial, is the most purely unselfish act. So I began to think of this as holding John's hand as he entered the afterlife, whatever that was going to be for him. I was accompanying him. I was Charon, helping him across the River Styx. I was both me and a symbolic "me". After driving over an hour to Huntsville, I checked into the Econo-lodge off I-45. The room was damp and smelled funny. The sheets were not mildewed exactly, but they had an odor. I thought, "well, this is appropriate. I'm in a town where they kill people all the time, and John's been in prison for 17 years, so I deserve a little discomfort too." I managed to get to sleep, after spending twenty minutes or so rehearsing/obsessing about what I was going to say to John in the morning. I was ready to agree I would not attend his execution if he didn't want me too. Tuesday morning Nov. 16th I had forgotten my Huntsville map at home, and I wanted one in case I got lost (no signs in town indicate how to get to local prisons), so I went to the Econo lobby to get one. None of the maps in their display showed the prisons, rather they showed various tourist sites around Huntsville and Texas. Then I noticed sort of hidden away below a television set a stack of the map I had from before, which does show the various area prisons. I thought, "are they hiding these, the only maps that show the Huntsville prison industry? Or is it just accidental that they weren't out with the other maps?" I drove to the Ellis Unit and arrived about 10am. As before, I had to show I.D. at the entrance, open the trunk and hood, and proceed to the other guard hut, for another I.D. check, and a search. Then I went through the two gates (which are opened electrically by a guard in a tower) and went into the reception area, got my space assigned, and waited. Half a dozen other death row prisoners were having visits. They put people so close it's hard to hear. You have to lean very close to a little wire mesh screen. I noticed again how run-down the prison was, the chipped paint, lousy wooden chairs, trash on the floor. A plaque indicated Governor John Connelly dedicated it in 1960. John was led out about 15 minutes later. They put him in the steel cage on his side of the glass and mesh partition, then uncuffed him. It was very different seeing him this time, because I suddenly realized that we couldn't talk about anything that related to the future, because he was going to be dead in one more day. For instance, he told me he had been waiting for "The Wizard Of Oz" to be on TV again because he hadn't seen it in years, and it was just his luck that it was going to be on Sunday. It was shocking. He was living as someone who couldn't plan a future. He seemed reasonably calm, although I noticed a few times he was tapping his feet quite a bit. He said he was ready to go to a better place, and made some statements about there being an afterlife, which he had never talked about before. I told him that I didn't have to be there if he didn't want me, but he said he understood and appreciated that I was going to do it. He didn't think any members of the victim's family would be there. He hadn't called his mother, because the guards had hassled him about his calling privilege, and he was worried about upsetting her (he said she'd already clinically died twice from heart problems) and didn't see the point of both of them just crying on the phone. I always buy him what he calls "soda water" from a machine in the waiting area (you give it to a guard and they deliver it inside in order to prevent your passing something to a prisoner they're not allowed to have – you can't actually touch or give anything to the prisoner directly). He wanted a Cherry Pepsi, which I'd never heard of, and which I will now forever associate with him. You're not allowed to bring most objects into the visiting area, including ballpoint pens, so any names John mentioned or things I needed to do, I had to concentrate and remember. Father Walsh was his spiritual advisor. Chaplain Lopez was also someone he knew. Leigh-Anne Gideon was the reporter from the Huntsville paper he wanted me to thank. He wanted me to make sure that the money the Italian Amnesty International group raised would go to his mother, since Father Walsh had managed to arrange for his cremation and sending the ashes to his mother. Maybe she would bury the ashes in a plot. We spoke for about an hour and a half. We both said it was difficult to talk, since we'd gone over everything about his situation so many times. I thought, if I focus him on good times he experienced in the past, it might depress him more rather than get him to savor the good parts of his life. And if I talk about his case, it might give him some glimmer of hope that there would be a stay of execution, and that was very unlikely. I just kept telling myself that the situation was unique, I was doing a good thing just by being there to treat him like a human being, and neither one of us really knew how to deal with the horror. I told him I'd be back that afternoon (on the day before an execution, visits are possible all day instead of just one two- hour visit). I wanted to find Father Walsh, since I knew from previous contact with the Warden's office that he was supposed to talk to me, but he wasn't there. Two other chaplains from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice found me, and I asked them to run over the schedule with me. They knew I was coming, but they asked if I was his "friend". I said I didn't use that word about my relationship with John – how could I say he was my friend when we didn't grow up together, I didn't share his life, we had only had limited contact with each other in strange circumstances? But I cared about him, yes. James Brazzil, the regional program administrator, told me all the different steps of what he called "the procedure" (I don't think I heard a single guard or prison official use the word "execution" the entire time I was there, let alone "killing.") He told me about how Sodium Pentathol worked, and how John would not suffer, but give a large gasp, and that would be the only sign of his death. He said he'd attended 95 executions. I immediately had great sympathy for him. What must it be like to watch 95 people die right in front of you? It must be impossible to live with that, even if you are a chaplain. I told him I was having a hard time talking to John, and that I just wanted to be there for him and focus on him, and Brazzil said that's all I could do – be myself. He gave me directions to where the execution would actually take place – at the Walls Unit just about in the center of town, not out at Ellis which was many miles north. John would be moved on the day of execution about 12:30pm to the other unit. I had thought he would be executed at midnight, but Texas now carried out executions at 6 p.m. Brazzil asked me to meet him the next day at 3pm at the Hospitality House, which was a place where people attending executions were allowed to stay for free. I was content to stay at the motel, because I didn't want to take the chance of running into anyone from the family of Jerry Chafin, John's victim, or any pro-death penalty people who might want to argue with me – I wanted someplace where I could go and nobody would know me. I went back to the motel because I had to go on-line and do some office work. I wanted to focus only on the execution, and resented having to keep up with work, but actually it helped calm me down. Still, I felt I was betraying John in some way. In fact, just seeing normal life in Huntsville continue as if he wasn't going to be killed the next day, I felt a little angry with the entire town. (In fact, there were three executions scheduled, Desmond Jennings on that Tuesday, John on Wednesday and Jose Gutierrez on Thursday.) I knew condemning the whole town was irrational, but then again who was trying to stop this except for a handful of people? Tuesday afternoon Nov. 16th Driving back to Ellis Unit, I couldn't think of what I had left to say to John, or vice versa. What comfort was I actually providing? Would he rather be in his cell composing himself? Did he feel he was taking care of me, holding my hand through the hours? Was I the needy one? I arrived around 3pm, went through the routine again. When John came out, he told me that Desmond Jennings had refused to leave his cell when they came to get him for the transfer to Walls Unit, and the guards used pepper spray to get him out. John, next door, was gassed, prisoners on other tiers were gassed, even visiting Father Walsh was gassed. Desmond had soaked some rags and tied them around his face, so guards had to use two doses of pepper spray, go into his cell with riot gear and shields, and forceably drag him out. John said the guards were being nicer to him already, saying things like "you're not going to give us any trouble tomorrow, are you?" I decided to talk to John about things he enjoyed in his life, and get him to appreciate the good times. We talked about the concerts we'd attended and the bands we liked. I told him that I'd started watching wrestling on Thursday nights with my son Josh, and that had been bringing us closer together, and we talked about the different wrestlers and story lines. John reminded me of some of the wrestlers that were popular in California when we were kids (John was only three years younger than I) and I laughed when he reminded me of the huge wrestler who wore bib overalls, Haystack Calhoun. It was the most relaxed time I'd ever spent with John. I stopped pushing for what the conversation "should" be like, and just talked to him like two friends shooting the breeze, with all the time in the world. Was I "in denial" or being smart and caring? To my left was an orthodox Jew talking through the mesh to a prisoner, and teaching him to put on teffilin, prayer phylacteries. I told John what was going on, and that I was surprised there were any Jewish prisoners on Texas death row (I found out later there are at least two). Again, I thought what a mitzvah it was to spend time with someone who had virtually no friends. I left when they closed down visiting hours at 5pm, feeling better than I had since arriving. I had one more visit scheduled with John the next morning. I drove to the Walls Unit at dusk and found the area behind yellow police tape where the protestors, both pro and con, were allowed to stand. There were no "pro" people there, and I walked up to the half dozen women holding anti-death-penalty signs and introduced myself. I took one of the extra signs and held it up. Few cars drove by, and the lighting was poor as the sun went down. I found out these people drove up from Houston to protest each execution. The two leaders seemed to be Gloria Rubac, a short, feisty, intense woman about my age, and Joanne Gavin, silver-haired, probably in her sixties and as I found out, a veteran of Freedom Summer in Mississippi and other progressive causes. They told me they were all involved with the Workers World Party, which I found out later when they gave me their newspaper is a "standard old-time" Marxist group. I was happy they were there, on the same side as me. Gloria held up a bullhorn and shouted "Tonight the worst serial killer in Texas will strike again! The State of Texas will murder Desmond Jennings in cold blood! George W. Bush is a premeditated killer!" In between blasts she told me that unless people took to the streets and gave up trying to influence politicians by voting, nothing would change. Only civil disobediance, disrupting business as usual, would make a difference. I told Joanne that I just came from the prison and that Desmond had to be forced out of his cell. She said, "Good. The resistance is starting. It's not good that it's violent, though, but at least the prisoners are acting up." Some policeman and correctional officers stood a few yards away from us, on the other side of the yellow tape, and laughed and joked while Gloria gave them what for with the bullhorn. Were they acting even more indifferent to the circumstances to show Gloria how little they cared about being called murderers? Was this a show of "normality" meant for us? I tried to imagine what their jobs must be like, day in and day out. Across the way, we saw witnesses, police and reporters crossing over to the execution chamber from the holding area. I was shocked to see how casually most of the people were dressed. For instance, the one Joanne told me was the Associated Press reporter, Michael Graczyk, was dressed in sneakers, a polo shirt and casual pants. And he was going to see someone die?! I had brought my black suit to wear on Wednesday – after all, I was going to a funeral. In these circumstances, things that would seem unremarkable elsewhere took on somber meanings for me. Graczyk was just going to work in comfortable clothes. While I was there, each time I made a judgement about someone else, I also thought of forgiveness, compassion. If I could forgive John Lamb for what he'd done enough to maintain a relationship with him (and did I even have the right to forgive him?) why couldn't I forgive a reporter for dressing "improperly"? Did I have the right to be angry? Was Gloria's anger worthwhile, or just more venom in a bad situation? I found out later that Desmond Jennings refused to come out a second time, and was forceably removed again. He was executed around 6:15pm, and we saw the witnesses walk back across the way. That's where I'd be tomorrow, I knew. I went to a fast-food joint with the protestors, and signed "happy birthday" cards for several dozen Death Row prisoners. I bought several of their anti-death-penalty T-shirts (Stop TEXecutions they read) and we said goodbye, making plans to meet the next day after the execution. Joanne offered to let me stay at her place in Houston the next night, so I wouldn't have to fight traffic to the airport Thursday morning, and so I could be with someone after what was promising to be an ordeal. "Better you give the money to the movement than to a motel" she said. At the Econolodge, I couldn't sleep. I began to visualize the next day. My breathing was shallow, my heart pounded and I broke out in a sweat. I thought I might have a nightmare if I slept. A number of fears came out to play. I worried about fainting at the execution, about "letting John down" by freaking out and making it worse. I had once fainted in Lamaze class and pissed my pants – how humiliating if I did something like that. I need sleep. I imagined myself yawning through the next day, not being alert. I saw myself yawning in front of John the next morning. "Am I keeping you up?" he'd say. I was in a place of paranoia and anxiety. I began to wonder what John was doing. Could he sleep knowing it was his last night alive? Right about now he was going to have a private mass and take communion from Father Walsh and get last rites. Would it be comforting or horrifying? I ordered a pizza, ate enough to get sleepy, and dropped off. Thursday morning Nov. 17th Drove to Ellis for my last time with John. I decided to fast from sunup to sundown, just like I do for Jewish "public fast" days. It seemed like the right thing to do. John had already told me he didn't want to meet past 10:30am so he'd have the afternoon to give away his few remaining possessions, see Father Walsh and rest before being moved to Walls Unit for the final hours. I arrived just after 9am and John led off by saying "It's all been said and done, now, hasn't it? It's hard to get through my head that in about nine hours they're going to kill me." He looked away and shook his head. "But I'm ready." He told me what he'd picked for his last meal, but he didn't think he'd be able to eat it. I assured him my friend Gene and I would make sure his mother got the money sent by the Italians. A feeling of lightness welled up in my chest when I said "Don't worry. We'll take care of it." I'd never made a promise to someone "on their deathbed". I wanted to touch his hand or arm. I had never touched John – the glass was always between us. I told him I considered myself lucky to have known him. "Given the way your life has gone, the fact that you've gone through 17 years on death row without being an asshole is really something. Every day you've been here, you could have decided to be pissed off and a jerk, but instead you've been kind and have cared about other people. You've avoided fights. You haven't joined any gangs. You are really an extraordinary person today, and it's really a horrible thing that they are doing this to you. I just hope that it means something positive to someone, somewhere. I can't see it, though. I'd like to believe in progress, that the death penalty is going to go away someday, but it's hard to believe in it right now." John said that the man in the next cage over who was being visited by a number of family members, including a couple little kids, was Jose Gutierrez, who was going to be killed on Thursday. It was chilling. Two men in adjoining cages who knew the end was here. Just after he told the guard he was ready to go back to his cell, Father Walsh walked up and I finally met him. A man in his seventies in a coarse brown monk's robe, he was smiling and laughing – very cheery. His eyes positively twinkled. John definitely lit up when he came over. Father Walsh's "up" was a little disconcerting at first, but he was obviously doing John a lot of good, and I could feel the positive energy just pouring off him. Maybe that's what comes with such a high level of religious commitment, I thought. Shortly thereafter, as John was going to be led away, Father Walsh put his palm on the glass, and John put his on the other side so they "matched". It was a greeting and farewell I'd seen several times during my visits, and in movies, but I'd never done it with John. As John waved at me before being handcuffed, I bent down so I could still see his face, tapped the glass lightly, and said something. I've forgotten what. I was nervous. What do you say to someone the last time you're going to talk to them? I said something like "I'll see you later", but what I meant was "Take care of yourself." Father Walsh told me he'd see me at 5 o'clock and give me the address and phone number for John's mother that I needed. As I walked down the hall and out of the prison, I took a good look around, breathing slowly and deeply, taking it in. I didn't expect to be back ever again. I gave myself a pat on the back, saying to myself "You've done something good by coming here. You are linked with John forever. You are unique. Not many people would do this. The really hard part is about to start, but you'll get through it, because you have help from all the people thinking of you and John." It was like watching myself from the outside as I left, a sense of unreality, like I was on a movie screen. I went to the Econolodge and changed into the black suit I'd brought. Open shirt collar, no tie. I wanted to be able to breathe easily. (I now see this as one of the many things I did to lower my anxiety. I'm certainly organized and a good planner when it comes to that.) I checked out of the motel and drove to the Hospitality House, where I'd decided to stay until 3pm when Brazzil was meeting me. The place was run by a Christian couple named Norris. The place was covered in religious paintings, many of them done by death row inmates, and plaques and items relating to religious ministries and the death penalty. I told them who I was, and that I just wanted to sit quietly by myself for a few hours. They kept offering food, which I politely declined. I was going to tell them I was fasting, but I was afraid they'd think it was weird. Not a very rational fear, I see now, but at the time my skin felt pretty thin. Workers on the roof were banging incredibly loud, putting in new shingles or something, so I put on headphones and listened to some tapes, read The New Yorker, and tried to distract myself from just watching the minutes tick by. I had decided the day before to find a copy of The Psalms to read, and sure enough there was a huge bible right next to me on a coffee table, with the Old and New Testaments and additional books. The first two Psalms I read disturbed me. They were about how God hates sinners and will not be with them. I was hoping that it was just the clumsy translation, that in the Hebrew that word "hate" wouldn't be there. I did not want to think about God hating sinners. I wanted to know about God loving everything, treasuring everything, and supporting John right now. I skipped to some later Psalms that I knew were more positive, and found some words of comfort, but just barely. I gave up reading. The Psalms didn't seem up to the task I'd assigned them. At 3pm exactly Brazzil showed up, and sat down with me, Mr. Norris and another woman who was working there. He said he didn't sleep well because of "what happened yesterday." I said, "You mean because Jennings resisted?" And he said, "Yes, that. But mostly because the man had no faith. None." We all shook our heads. What would it be like to die that way without any belief in the afterlife? Then Brazzil began to tell me the same thing he'd told me the day before – in exactly the same words, exactly the same order, with the same questions and pauses. He'd obviously forgotten that he'd already given me the same speech yesterday. I felt suddenly invisible. He doesn't care about me at all. He doesn't really see me. He's just processing me through. He's like everyone involved with this prison system. They're in denial. They just do their little part, and nobody wants to think that they're killing people. I felt deflated. I wanted to become real to him, so I asked some questions. What happens if I faint? Did he have a picture of the execution chamber set-up itself? (Mr. Norris did.) But I pretty much just wanted him to leave as soon as possible. At one point he said, "So I understand you're Jewish?" (I remembered reading – Irving Howe? – about how most people – Jews or not -- say "Jewish" to avoid saying "Jew" because it's like a swear word. Brazzil would not have said, "So I understand you're a Jew?") I said "Yes." Long uncomfortable pause. I guess they were waiting for me to something else. So I said quietly, "I'm found that people with faith are more like each other than they are like people without faith." Nods all around. I sat for another hour and a half, moving between sadness, resignation and anger. I wasn't really helping John. No, I was helping. No, I was just another cog in the system. If he was being electrocuted, there's no way I'd be able to watch. But I can watch a lethal injection – he's just going to sleep. That's why they switched to injection, to make it easier for everyone to do it, to forget what was actually going on. So I'm complicit. I felt very mixed up. At 4:45pm I walked one block to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice office, where I met Chaplain Lopez and Father Walsh. A policeman or correctional officer (he introduced himself, but I blanked immediately – he looked and acted like someone who didn't give a shit about anything except making people stand where he told them to stand, and move when he told them to move) gave us the schedule. He was assigned to stay with us constantly from that moment until the execution was over. I was searched by another officer, and when he told Walsh he didn't have to be searched, I said "Hey, why does he get special treatment? I already noticed he gets to bring a pen into Ellis Unit when I don't, and now you don't even want to search him." So even I was capable of cutting the tension with a joke. He sat in the corner of a room while Lopez, Walsh and I sat at a small table and made small talk. Again, Walsh's jocular attitude was both wonderful and a little inappropriate. At one point he handed me a photograph that had been tucked in his daybook, and said "Here's a bunch of happy killers." I looked at it – a photo of Walsh several years back with two dozen death row inmates. He and Lopez went through them, telling me their names, which had been executed, who they were. The picture had been taken at a Catholic service, but all sorts of prisoners used to come (before the prison cancelled all such gatherings because of a death row prison breakout attempt) including a Jewish prisoner who was nicknamed "Mad Max". One man named Guerra had had his conviction reversed, was released from death row, and moved to Mexico, where he actually became a television soap opera star. He was killed in a car crash while driving to Mexico City for a TV shoot. What a life story he had! I noticed that Father Walsh's daybook had fallen open to The Psalms, and I told him I'd been reading them but was disturbed by the description of God's hatred. I showed him the passages. He tried to explain why the translation wasn't at fault, that God hated the sin but not the sinner – but that isn't what the Psalms said. "Today I want to hear about the kind, compassionate God," I told them. "In Hebrew there are many names of God, and some are used to show His attribute of mercy, others for his attribute of retribution. Right now I only want to think of Him as merciful and loving." I know that Christians tend to think of the "Old Testament God" as vengeful and judging, and of the "New Testament God" as forgiving and loving. Here I was, arguing for the New Testament God in front of two committed Christians, agreeing with "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Well, Jesus said some pretty good things. It's my own fault if I couldn't find something from within the Jewish tradition to use at the scene of an execution. At 6pm the door opened and we were led out. My heart immediately started pumping harder, and I found it a little hard to move my feet. We were told to walk single file, and we went out a back door outside, across a walkway and into the entrance to Walls Unit. I looked to the right and saw my friends from last night in the protest area. I heard the bullhorn. "The State of Texas is about to murder another victim!" We were led into a disheveled room and told to sit. There were several other people in the room, joking and chatting away. Lopez told me one of them was the Associated Press reporter. John had described Leigh-Anne Gideon as "small and cute" and I figured that's who the woman was talking to Graczyk. I walked over to her and introduced myself and said "John wanted me to tell you thanks for the article you wrote about him." She said "thanks" and I saw she wore braces. John hadn't mentioned that. She was small, but not particularly "cute" to me. Hadn't he noticed her braces? They were the easiest identifying mark to mention so I could find her. I would never know, because I would never talk to John again. Leigh-Anne immediately turned back and started yapping and laughing with the others. If you looked at them without the context, you could never guess they were about to witness an execution. It reinforced my decision that I didn't want to talk to the reporters before or after, both because I might run into the victim's family or district attorney, and because I didn't want to turn John's death into just a "cause". There would be time for that later. I wanted to stay focused on him as a human being, not a symbol. I was starting to feel a little weak, sitting down. I looked at the clock on the wall. John was being strapped down right now. They were inserting the needle (he told me he hated needles) and strapping him down. I put my right hand over my heart and took steady, deep breaths, a relaxation technique a friend taught me once when I'd fainted in a stressful situation (from "forgetting to breathe"). We were told it was time. I was told to walk directly behind the first officer, and we went down a long corridor that looked like it had been used as a prisoner visitation room at some time. We were led through a series of locked doors opened by various officers and into a little courtyard outdoor area. The officer pointed to a grate in the ground and said "watch your step". I was trying to take in my surroundings, was hyper-aware of everything happening. I was super-wide-awake, watching my feet move one step at a time, almost like watching slow-motion film. In my mind I said "God, walk with me now." I pictured the faces of people I knew and who I felt were with me – my wife Linda, my friend David Friedlander, others. I felt accompanied, not upset. Composed. We were led into a little room with a glass front and a few bars across it. I was right up against the glass, Lopez and Walsh on my left, the reporters and others behind me. John was on the execution table just on the other side of the glass, maybe three feet away. He looked at me when I came in. I probably have never been more focused on anything in my life (unless it was the first time I was with my wife while she was giving birth). I was looking at John, thinking "I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you." He was trembling a little, and breathing with difficulty. He was strapped down in a "cross" position, his arms perpendicular to his body, and he had intravenous lines in both arms. (So he had to endure two needles, not just one.) His hands were covered in bandages, held by metal clips, so his body was immobilized except his head. Suspended from the ceiling was a microphone, the end about 12 inches from John's mouth. Brazzil was standing at his feet, and the prison warden was standing near his head. John was asked if he had a final statement, and he said yes. I knew that on the other side of the wall to our left, the family of John's victims were standing – they had decided to come after all. Policy was that we would be kept apart during the "procedure". John turned his head toward them as far as he could and said "I'm sorry for what I did. I wish I could bring him back, but I can't." Then he turned back to look up at the ceiling. "I'm done. Let's do it." He was trembling more, but tried to set his mouth. A tear rolled down from his right eye. I was crying too, quietly, and I think Father Walsh was too, but I didn't take my eyes off John. My hand was still on my chest and I was breathing deeply. The upper part of John's body rose up, he gave a short gasp, and his eyes glazed over. The tear continued to drip down his cheek, but I could see he was already dead. Everyone stood where they were. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Father Walsh doing something with the little bottle of holy water he'd brought. I could also hear someone else crying, a female, from the other side of the wall. A member of the Chafin family probably. Were they tears because she was reminded of Jerry's death? Or was she in some way crying for John too? At 6:19pm a doctor examined the body with a stethoscope, felt for a pulse at the neck, and pronounced John dead. Brazzil had to shut John's eyes twice in order to get them to close. I could still see the tear on his cheek. I was sobbing a bit as we were led outside and across to the other building. When we emerged I looked toward the protestors and for a second I thought of raising my fist in a "power salute", but I didn't feel defiant or angry enough. I felt drained, and a little dazed. I wasn't horrified to see John die. He just moved quietly from one state to another. It was like watching someone go to sleep. I weakly raised my left hand and gestured in their direction. Hi, Gloria and Joanne. I did it. I lost track of Father Walsh at that point. I think he went to arrange to claim the body and deal with the funeral home. Lopez and I walked out the front door and he offered to drive me to the Hospitality House. He was parked right near where Gloria and Joanne and the others were. He said "Oh, there are the protestors" in a way that meant "we'd better avoid them, they're bad news" and I said "Yes, I know, that's where I was last night." He looked at me funny and said "Really?" I didn't say it, but I was thinking, Where else would I have been? So he probably wasn't anti-death-penalty? He was after all an employee of the same Criminal Justice organization that carried out the execution. Not against the process, just there to help some prisoners get through it. I felt a little let down by him, and at the same time I recoiled from my own (hasty?) judgement of him. When I got out of his car, he said "Goodbye" and I said "Vaya Con Dios" – and he registered the difference in his eyes as I exited the car. A few minutes later Joanne and the others pulled up, and I followed them as they drove back to Houston. When we got to Joanne's place, it turned out she had lots of cats (and I'm allergic) so I decided not to stay with her, and just get a motel near the airport on my own. I felt capable of being on my own and just sitting with what had happened. I didn't want to talk about it. She gave me a hug, which surprised me, but we all need as many hugs as we can get. I hugged her back. --30--

Disclosure of litigation contingencies faulted.
How well are businesses complying with this disclosure requirement? There's room for improvement, according to a recent study by Robert D. Fesler, a professor at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee. Fesler identified 126 lawsuits lost by publicly traded companies and then examined disclosures about the suits in the prior years' annual reports.
All the lawsuits that were lost by the defendant companies involved a material and noninsurable loss and spanned at least a two-year period. According to Fesler, a totally unbiased evaluation of each of these suits would indicate a loss to have been reasonably possible--and financial statement disclosure thus appropriate.
Below are the results of the study. Exhibit 1 shows the five types of financial statement disclosures during the predisposition years, when the suits were in progress before the year of court adjudication or settlement. The five categories are grouped as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory in meeting the literal requirements of FASB Statement no. 5.
While the majority of companies provided satisfactory disclosures a significant minority gave no signal of the upcoming loss.
Exhibit 2 at left categorizes the lawsuits according to the charges involved, suggesting the type of action had some impact on the disclosure decision.
Fesler speculates corporate officials and their legal counsels may have difficulty providing an auditor with appropriate information concerning litigation contingencies for the following reasons:
1. A high level of emotion may be present.
2. They fear financial statement disclosure of pending litigation will be construed as admission of guilt.
3. There is a separate legal framework for evaluating litigation outcomes that varies significantly from that used by the accounting profession.
4. More appropriate channels exist for disclosure of such information (such as the business press).
5. FASB Statement no. 5 disclosure requirements are only viewed as a guide and therefore need not be taken literally.
"As long as 'reasonably possible' serves as the reporting threshold," Fesler said, "wide reporting diversity will continue."

Minesweeper HD
100,000 - 500,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Classic Games
The goal of the game is to uncover all the squares that do not contain mines without being "destroyed" by clicking on a mine. The location of the mines is discovered by a process of logic. Clicking on the game board will reveal what is hidden underneath the chosen square or squares (a large number of blank squares may be revealed in one go if they are adjacent to each other). Some squares are blank but some contain numbers (1 to 8), each number being the number of mines adjacent to the uncovered square. To help avoid hitting a mine, the location of a suspected mine can be marked by flagging it with the right mouse button. The game is won once all blank squares have been uncovered without hitting a mine, any remaining mines not identified by flags being automatically flagged by the computer.

Good but not perfect.

Fun and addictive. Worth playing. They should had an exploding animation though
(43 stars)
Good minesweeper game, doesn't try to mimic Windows version. The ads aren't too annoying and it acts a little buggy sometimes when I win on intermediate or expert. Overall much better than the other minesweeper apps.
(43 stars)
Each challenge had numbers incorrectly placed by bombs
(43 stars)
Should be able to long press to flag or question mark a square, should be able to turn off question marks in options, and should be able to double tap a number to quick clear squares around it. This app does none of this.
(43 stars)
The mine count indicators are not always correct. It usually seems to happen diagonally. Kinda hard to play minesweeper like that.

Like almost every business owner, I'm often awake at 2:00 am. Sometimes it's because I'm excited, and sometimes because I'm worried, but it's always because of the business. Since 2008 I've posted weekly articles about the challenges and solutions I see in my work with the Hunters of our society, the 3% of people who own businesses, and create over 60% of all new jobs.

Five Steps to Defining an Employee's Authority
When we delegate authority to an employee, we are actually delegating the power to make decisions. We all want employees who think for themselves, at least when their decisions work out in a way we like. When they don't, we … Continue reading

Do Leaders Need Titles?
When should an employee be promoted? Over the years, I've often had this conversation both within my own companies and with owner-clients. An employee is handling responsibilities above his or her official job description. We naturally want to acknowledge the effort, … Continue reading
4 Responses to Do Leaders Need Titles?
Great post John:
I fully agree, Promotions are much better received when they are "earned" in the hearts and minds of the peers. Although, this can't always be the case; it is ideal whenever possible.
Far too many times in the corporate world I have seen promotions given that were not deserved; ultimately demoralizing key members of the organization.
From my experience a title and $5.95 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. A leader creates an emotional link with his workplace team and excels without a change in business cards.
i agree mostly, John, but where I disagree is where an inappropriate title and/or job spec leads others in the organization to resist and even undermine the efforts of a leader to the point of doing damage. Good Leadership qualities will generally motivate the team and help them see the virtues of the results being sought, but in most organizations, there are those who refuse to see the light and are only interested in protecting their turf and "superior" level in the organization. An appropriate title and job spec makes the role of the leader clear to all.
Great post and great discussion.
Shows it not such an easy decision. Different things motivate different people – some the title, some the money and some probably all the recognition

11 Responses to Iron Rice Bowls and the Impact of Government Funding
We must never let our guard down.
While I completely concur with the article with respect to education and housing, healthcare is a different beast entirely. The United States has by far the least efficient healthcare system of any developed country because of a deficiency of government involvement, not an over-abundance of it.
By depending on a vastly greater level of market-based forces, instead of control, the U.S. has created a monster. This is because healthcare by definition does not work on market principles. When any individual's health is at stake they do not care what it costs, they just want to be treated. That means the suppliers have total coercive control over the "market".
Can anything realistically be called a market when it a) is difficult or impossible to even determine what a product costs before it is purchased; and b) there is not really choice about whether it should be purchased? Do you operate that way in any other aspect of your life?
U.S. healthcare has evolved to a level of insanity beyond what even a pure market system might produce. The stakeholders: people, providers, insurers, employers, state government and the federal government all have competing interests. The result is that if you are lucky in terms of employment, insurance, income and location, you might get absolutely world class healthcare. If not, you might get none at all. Meanwhile the entire system thrashes against itself creating unbelievable inefficiency and overhead, resulting in costs 3 to 4 times higher than necessary. Small example: our local hospital system has 12 executives making over a million a year.
ANY other business operating this way would have been bankrupt a very long time ago. Some things should not be market driven. I submit access to roads, clean water and healthcare for starters.
I would say, "Don't get me started. . . ." but too late for that.
To take the average working hours concept a step further: (1) the average working hours to purchase an automobile has decreased, yet vehicles haven't remained static — they're loaded with many more safety, comfort, and entertainment features today than ever before; (2) a student leaves school with about the same amount of basic knowledge today compared to say the '70s or '80s and pays considerably more.
Don't forget (3) healthcare: The amount we SPEND on healthcare is up considerably, but the value we receive is up considerably too. I agree healthcare isn't a normal marketplace, but 40 years ago we did not have the choice to have life saving and life improving MRIs, Cat scans, organ transplants and many prescription drugs. All of those innovations come with a cost.
As the slice of our income pie needed for basic needs shrinks, the rest of the pie necessarily grows. If not to healthcare, housing and education, then to where? Smaller homes with larger flat screen TV's?
My issue is not with MRIs, medical technology, research or even prescription drugs (though that is also an outrageous "market"), or anything else that directly relates to delivering healthcare. I get riled up over the incredibly high overhead, inefficiency and waste. These are the direct result of competing interests and multiple layers of profit motivated entities exploiting a distorted system.
For example, billions of dollars are spent annually on prescription drug advertising. That is entirely a function of profit motive, not any objective to improve health. If everyone had access to preventive care on a regular basis, decisions about prescription drugs would be made by doctors and patients discussing someone's health, not a TV or magazine ad.
Add to that the fact that a significant portion of the population has limited or no access to healthcare, and the overall situation is just plain dumb.
Sadly, your response is entirely correct.
Thanks for introducing me to the Iron Rice Bowl concept. You guys in the beltway and Washington DC area, it is time to listen up!
When will we bring back an objective money standard, i.e., gold or silver?

Great article. I agree that the numbers have to be skewed that government is reporting. And I believe our Govt. is the biggest problem. Our Unemployment laws need to be seriously revised. If someone works and then gets seriously sick or injured, it makes sense to help them with unemployment for a longer period of time, because they earned it. We need to address the younger people. We have two MAJOR issues:
1. Is the fault of our society and their parents — this younger working age generation are spoiled rotten and suffering from a severe case of ENTITLEMENT. I see it every day. Why should they work hard, or even show up to work, when Daddy just bought them a new car, and pays for everything.
2. It is way too easy to file and collect unemployment, and it lasts too long. I post an ad on Craigslist at least once a month. The amount of responses is usually pretty good. However, I'm lucky if 1 in 6 scheduled interviews even show up. And even then, they usually don't ever show for the job I hired them for. And I know what their doing — they're checking off the box that they're "looking, but can't find anything" so they can continue receiving unemployment. I can vouch that there are more jobs than people, but it sure doesn't seem that way.
Nor can we legislate respect, work ethic, self-motivation and personal responsibility. Recently read an article stating we are who we are by the age of 12. Parents are the key to improving the workforce, not the school, government or the day care provider. Children are not possessions like cares or houses. They are a lifetime commitment and one's enduring legacy of their contribution to society.
Great Article. A subject that is close to my heart, and as a matter of fact, is what made this country so great..in the first place.." The Middle Class". Where is the middle class, did they just disapear, and the jobs that went with them disapear as well. Is the new generation so spoiled, that they refuse to work? Does it make more finacial sense to go on longterm unemployment, wellfare or disability, than to get a JOB?
The wriing in already on the wall, just look at the numbers. Who's fault is it…you might ask….An even better question is how do we FIX it.
Great article. Being self-employed, myself as a contractor for 40 years I have to keep up on all of the changes in construction. Many times it is online courses from manufactures. It has to be a personal thing if you want to keep up. People need to be self motivated to get a head in this world.

Thousands of Chuukese voters line up to cast their ballots for the Chuuk states and the national government elections held at the Mangilao Community Center on March 3, 2009. Pacific Daily News file photo
A vote for independence in Chuuk was put on hold earlier this week after an executive order was issued Monday to remove the vote from the ballot for the upcoming election.
The plebiscite has been rescheduled pending the Legislature's amendment of a law that directs the nation's election commission to place the question on the same ballots containing names of candidates running for office.
The national election is scheduled for March 3.
The vote is indefinitely postponed until the law is amended and a new plebiscite date is selected.
In his executive order, Chuuk state Gov. Johnson Elimo cited shortcomings by the Chuuk State Election Commission on its ability to conduct the plebiscite as required by law.
The decision to include the vote for independence from the Federated States of Micronesia on the election ballot was made by the Chuuk Political Status Commission. The commission was created in May 2011 under Chuuk law to "review and recommend possible political status suitable for long-term financial survival" of Chuuk state after the economic provisions under the Compact of Free Association expire in 2023.
Originally a United Nations Trust Territory, the FSM officially adopted its own constitution in 1979. Seven years later, it entered into an agreement with the United States, officially becoming a sovereign government consisting of four states -- Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae -- under a Compact of Free Association.
Under the compact, the United States provides financial assistance and uninhibited travel for FSM citizens to the U.S.
In return, the FSM provides the United States with exclusive access to its land and waterways for strategic purposes.
The compact expires in 2023, and lawmakers are trying to come up with solutions to sustain the FSM after its breaks ties with the U.S.
The commission's goal is for Chuuk to secede from the FSM then renegotiate a separate compact with the United States -- basically cutting out the FSM as the middleman.
The commission has been holding public meetings on the political status options, while officially endorsing the concept of an independent Chuuk.
The commission started holding public hearings, beginning in the middle of last year, to introduce political status options, but it specifically recommends independence as the preferred political status at these hearings, said Sabino Asor, attorney general for Chuuk, who also is on the commission as the chairman for its public education efforts.
The commission visited all but four of the 40 islands that compose Chuuk State, Asor said. The commission also traveled overseas to the United States, Hawaii and Guam to areas that hold large Chuukese communities.
He added that the commission wasn't able to visit the four islands in Chuuk because the boat they were using had engine troubles.
But some from Chuuk think the idea of pursuing independence is premature, with unclear consequences.
Asor said many who attended the hearings were concerned that the move would adversely impact their right to live and work in the United States.
In response to the concern, Asor previously stated that the intention of the commission is to "assure a separate compact with the U.S., based essentially on existing terms of what we have with the U.S. and FSM."
Additionally, people were upset because they felt the commission was choosing independence without any concrete data to help Chuukese citizens understand the pros and cons of the Chuuk secession.
Asor told Pacific Daily News last week that it's not possible to present concrete plans just yet.
"We understand their apprehension and anxiety. They want to see the whole picture politically and economically. The problem? We have very limited authority about what we can present," Asor said.
He said the specified details will come with time.
FSM President Manny Mori, who has displayed strong public opposition to Chuuk's secession, issued an executive order on Jan. 27 establishing a task force to inform Chuuk state voters about the impact of Chuuk's secession from the FSM.
The order states the task force will "conduct and provide state-wide public education and awareness program to all Chuukese voters on the legal, political, economic and social issues surrounding the political status commission's independence initiative."
Mori has temporarily suspended the task force's activities in light of the governor of Chuuk's executive order, according to a release posted on fsmpio.fm, the president's official website.
Ballot problems
Elimo, in his executive order issued Monday, said one of the factors that led to the removal of the vote on the Chuuk secession question from the ballot included the failure of the election commission "to print the plebiscite ballot in the manner and quantity provided by law" to satisfy the established timeline of the election process.
He also stated that because ballot boxes were required by law to be moved to polling places not less than a week before election day, it was now legally impossible to implement the plebiscite.
Additionally, the executive order stated that the state's political status question as adopted by the Chuuk State Legislature "requires legal preservation until final resolution by the people."
Mori issued a statement about the decision to postpone the plebiscite. In the statement, he said he will be calling a meeting between representatives from the governments of Chuuk state, the FSM and the United States to discuss "the underlying issues raised by Chuuk State during the initiated movement to secede."
"I congratulate and applaud the Governor of Chuuk State and the entire leadership of Chuuk State Government for postponing this plebiscite," a release on the President Mori's official site states. "I also wish to thank the Task Force and everyone in Chuuk and abroad, for their diligent and tireless efforts to assist in our educational campaign on National Unity."

Due to the huge success of The Dark Knight Rises and the positive feedback that Anne Hathaway received for her portrayal of Catwoman, there have been a number of rumours about a possible Catwoman spin-off movie being made, although there has been no official word on the project.
Now, Anne Hathaway has opened up about the possibility of reprising the role of Selena Kyle aka Catwoman for a spin-off movie, which she seems to be very interested in. Anne says that she found it very hard to say goodbye to the character so would love the chance to have her back.
Talking to Access Hollywood, Hathaway said, "No one's talked to me about it. I would love it. I actually, it's so embarrassing, I was at a press Q & A thing the other night for a screening of The Dark Knight and the moderator asked me, 'So what was it like to say goodbye to the character?' And I burst into tears, because I miss her. It just makes me cry. I miss her. I love Selena so much and I love her presence in my life and getting to… I'm crying again."
The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne aka Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John "Robin" Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate aka Talia al Ghul.
