Keep Your Enemies Closer Bug
i've tried dropping and redoing the mission over and over again and i keep getting the same problem. I've opened a ticket for it, and i'm hoping with the next maintenance it will get fixed, but i've been reading posts about bugs and problems with that mission, and none of them have said anything about this. when heading to the shuttlebay control after killing all the feds in the hanger, i'm able to interact with the doors to the control room, but as soon as i enter i start in the air and then fall through the floor for a while. i'm able to transport back to sector space but if i let it sit for a bit then it just resets to the starting point of the map. my away team apparently makes it through the doors since i can see their shields and health decrease and then they all become unconscious. has anyone else ever had this issue? i would just skip it but it's one of the main story missions.

HoopsHype Mookie Blaylock rumors
"When we ran his criminal history, one of the first questions we asked was, 'Why is this man still driving?'" said Tasha Mosley, Solicitor General of Clayton County, Georgia, where the accident involving the Murphys took place. In recent months, Blaylock's girlfriend had been leaning on him to curb his drinking, according to Samuel, his attorney. Sure, he was still drinking at night, said Samuel, which explains the empty case of Crown Royal found in the backseat of his Escalade after the crash, but he had made some concessions, including hiring a driver. His driver was busy the day of the crash, though, according to Mosley: "We were just shaking our heads, saying, 'With so much money, he could've gotten a taxi.' Get a damn taxi!'" Sports Illustrated
His headiness as a player was all the more remarkable considering that he was stoned a large part of the time. "He was one of the few NBA players who could smoke marijuana and play the best 48 minutes you've ever seen," said Danny Solomon, a former Hawks ballboy who is still one of Blaylock's best friends. "And he was doing it for so long that it took a lot to have an effect." Pot was one of his escapist pleasures, like the trout fishing vacations he took in Colorado or his golf habit. He first got in trouble for marijuana when he was suspended for the district championship game his senior year of high school. He was arrested for it twice during his career, including once in 1997, when he tried to take two ounces across the Canadian border as the Hawks boarded a flight from Vancouver after playing the Grizzlies. Smoking didn't seem to diminish his focus; it takes an alert player to amass 2,075 career steals. Sports Illustrated
Athletes are famously fond of strip clubs, but Blaylock wasn't an aggrandizing, make-it-rain type. Rather, he was a quiet afternoon regular who, according to Solomon, went by himself more often than not. "His thing was going to the strip club and looking at women all day. And I mean, all day," Solomon said. The strip club was Blaylock's safe place, where his status was validated, the parade of nude female bodies rendering verbose explanations unnecessary. At night, Crown Royal was his drink of choice—"If you had stock in Crown Royal, you'd have made a lot of money off him," said Solomon—and his intake was extreme: a constant Crown on the rocks in his hand, plus seven to nine shots, according to Solomon. But he was mostly a calm drunk, the alcohol easing him into his own skin. "He'd get into his Crown and he'd have one or two women go downstairs with him. From time to time, there'd be a little extra money for some things. He'd get his regulars who he'd chit chat with, and of course the liquor brings the talking out, so it was perfect," said Solomon. "I don't know if you'd call it 'partying,' because he didn't spend thousands. But he enjoyed getting out of the house. He enjoyed getting away." Sports Illustrated
Former NBA player Daron "Mookie" Blaylock is sentenced to three years in jail after pleading guilty in a fatal crash. Blaylock agreed to a plea deal on Monday including seven years in prison, with four years suspended. He will then be on probation for eight years. 11Alive.com WXIA TV
Former NBA player Mookie Blaylock was indicted by a grand jury on 14 charges, including first-degree vehicular homicide, stemming from a car crash last year in Atlanta. Blaylock, 47, is accused of causing a May 31, 2013 head-on crash that killed a mother of five and injured her husband. If convicted, the former Atlanta Hawks star could face up to 33 years in prison, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was indicted on Wednesday. Saul Star
Georgia prosecutors have upgraded criminal charges against former NBA player Mookie Blaylock in a head-on traffic crash last year that killed a 43-year-old mother of five, an official said on Tuesday. Blaylock, 47, was driving a 2010 Cadillac Escalade last May in Clayton County, south of Atlanta, when he crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic and struck a minivan, injuring a passenger, Monica Murphy, 40, who died hours later after undergoing surgery at Atlanta Medical Center, police said. Reuters
Former NBA and Atlanta Hawks star Mookie Blaylock — still facing charges for a Clayton County wreck that killed a mother of five — is back in jail after pleading guilty to a drunk driving charge in Spalding County. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Blaylock, 46, pleaded guilty Monday to DUI and hit-and-run charges stemming from an incident last March, a spokeswoman for the State Court of Spalding County said Tuesday. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but was credited for the 14 days he served, attorney Don Samuel told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Within 48 hours of his release from jail, Blaylock must report to an in-patient rehabilitation program, Samuel said. On March 20, 2013, Blaylock's 46th birthday, he was spotted staggering toward a grocery store and fell in the parking lot after allegedly hitting a vehicle, the Spalding County Sheriff's Office report stated. Then on May 31, Blaylock allegedly caused a head-on crash in Clayton County that killed a 40-year-old mother of five, according to police. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Georgia judge has set bond at $250,000 for an ex-NBA player accused in a fatal suburban Atlanta car crash. Daron "Mookie" Blaylock appeared in court Tuesday on charges of vehicular homicide, driving on a suspended license, making an improper lane change and crossing the median in the head-on crash from May 31. The crash killed a 43-year-old woman. ESPN.com
After hearing a long list of his prior DUI arrests, Clayton County Chief Magistrate Judge Daphne Walker set a $250,000 bond for a man accused in a May 31 car crash that killed Monica Murphy, a mother of five. #Daron "Mookie" Blaylock, 46, was wheeled into his first appearance hearing Tuesday afternoon sporting bandages from the same crash. He was released from Atlanta Medical Center Monday and surrendered to Jonesboro police. He is being represented by Atlanta attorney Don Samuel, who attended the hearing. News-Daily
Former NBA All-Star Daron "Mookie" Blaylock is out of the hospital and in jail, charged with vehicular homicide in a car crash south of Atlanta. Blaylock is also charged with driving on a suspended license, making an improper lane change and crossing the median in the head-on crash that killed a 43-year-old woman in Jonesboro on May 31. Blaylock surrendered Monday and is being held without bond. Blaylock's attorney has said the former player blacked out just before the crash. Authorities have said Blaylock was also wanted elsewhere for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge. 13wmaz.com
Former Atlanta Hawk Mookie Blaylock is out of the hospital, but not out of legal trouble. Blaylock, 46, was released from the Atlanta Medical Center earlier today and, with the help of his attorney, surrendered to the Jonesboro police on charges stemming from last month's fatal wreck. The former NBA All-Star was in pretty bad shape when he arrived at the police department. WSB Radio
"You could tell Mr. Blaylock was experiencing some pain," Jonesboro Police Chief, Franklin Allen, tells WSB. "He was still wearing his hospital wristband, he had a slight limp and he came into our facility with the help of a walker." Blaylock, who made the All-Star team in 1994, is charged with vehicular homicide, driving on a suspended license, and other charges stemming from the May 31 wreck on Tara Boulevard. WSB Radio
Allen says after turning himself in, Blaylock was taken to the Clayton County jail. There a hold was placed on him by authorities in Spalding County. Blaylock faces additional charges in Spalding of failure to appear on a DUI charge, along with drug related charges. WSB Radio
The fatal wreck involving former NBA star Mookie Blaylock was caused by a medical emergency and not a criminal matter, his attorney said Wednesday. "He had a blackout and what caused it, whether it be from his NBA career or something else, we're trying to get to the bottom of it," Don Samuel, a high-profile attorney, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Blaylock was seriously injured in the head-on wreck, which killed Monica Murphy, a 43-year-old mother of five, in Clayton County. He is accused of crossing the center of Tara Boulevard and colliding with a vehicle driven by Murphy's husband, Frankie, who sustained a broken ankle in the crash. The former Hawks guard remains hospitalized at Atlanta Medical Center, but is conscious and aware of what has happened, Samuel said. "He's terribly terribly upset about what happened," Samuel said. "Being remorseful is an understatement to how he feels." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Investigators have said neither alcohol nor drugs were believed to be involved in the wreck, but toxicology tests have not been completed. Preliminary tests at the hospital revealed no alcohol or drugs, Samuel said. Mosley said if Blaylock was under the influence, his charges likely would be upgraded. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Cadillac Escalade driven by former NBA All-Star Mookie Blaylock came hurtling toward his van, Murphy said. "Oh, no, oh no," Murphy said he shouted, adding he had no time to get out of the way. The head-on collision -- Blaylock had crossed the median, going north in the wrong lane -- killed Murphy's wife. Monday, Blaylock was charged with second degree vehicular homicide, failure to maintain his lane and driving on a suspended license. Jonesboro Police Chief Franklin Allen said Blaylock had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in Spalding County on a DUI charge and his license had been suspended. USA Today Sports
Tasha Mosley, the Solicitor General for Clayton County, Ga., said the toxicology reports on Blaylock's blood test at the hospital after the accident have not been made available and are being handled by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. "He was driving on a suspended license. He shouldn't have been driving at all," Murphy said. "If he hadn't been driving, my wife would still be here." USA Today Sports
According to Bryan Bennett, Blaylock's brother-in-law, the former NBA star had seizures recently and the family wonders if it was a seizure that caused Blaylock to lose control of his vehicle. Mosley said a seizure would not mitigate or lessen the charges against Blaylock. "He has lawyered up," Mosley told USA TODAY Sports. "Their attorney is flying in from out of state." USA Today Sports

Jason Derulo's Brand New Single, "Don't Wanna Go Home," Now Available At Digital Retailers
May 25 2011
Track Is the First Single From Derulo's Hotly Anticipated Second Album "Future History," Due in September 2011
For immediate release
"Don't Wanna Go Home," the new single from multi-platinum-selling singer and songwriter Jason Derulo, is now available for purchase at digital retailers. The track, which the 21-year-old Miami native co-wrote with producers The Fliptones, is off to a blazing start as one of the most added and fastest rising songs at Canadian radio.
The video, which features Melody Thornton from the Pussycat Dolls and was directed by Rich Lee (Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Pussycat Dolls), will have its premiere today on MuchMusic.com and MTV.ca.
"Don't Wanna Go Home" is Derulo's first new music since he established himself as a pop sensation with a string of red-hot hits last year. It is the debut single from Derulo's eagerly awaited second album, Future History, which will be released by Beluga Heights/Warner Music Canada in September. Derulo is currently detailing his journey recording his new album via a series of Future History Webisodes that are posted on his website, www.jasonderulo.com, every Friday.
Derulo ruled the Canadian airwaves last year with his three smash hit singles: the 3x-platinum debut "Whatcha Say," the 3x-platinum "In My Head," and the platinum third single "Ridin' Solo," all off his self-titled debut album, which is certified gold in Canada. All three songs were multi-format Top 10 hits, with "In My Head" holding the No. 1 spot on the CHR/Top 40 chart for four weeks. The Miami-born 21-year-old has sold more than 13 million singles and 850,000 albums worldwide. He has also streamed more than 333 million views on his YouTube Channel, which is in the Top 100 All-Time Most Viewed channels.
In other news, last week Derulo won 5 awards at the 2011 BMI Pop Awards including "Songwriter of the Year" with JR Rotem, who produced his debut album. He also shared the award alongside Lady Gaga.

Some clients hide serious marital, debt or health problems from their financial advisers, according to a recent survey. In some cases, the information withheld could "seriously undermine a financial strategy," the company behind the survey said. As an example, chronic illness could limit the client's ability to work after the customary retirement age, the study said.

Mesa-Pelly says her work is about "seeking a new identity and some sort of renewal," among other things, and perhaps this is the point to mention that she was born in Havana, Cuba, spent a year in Spain while still a baby, and came to New Yorkto Queens, then Brooklynwhen she was only two. "A lot of the photos have to do with this memory of childhood, so it's very real to me. Not specific personal memories," she qualifies, "just these fears, and changing identity." Prodded to relate the work to her life, she resists, insisting, "It's all about imagination, what I enjoy and how I see things. But work, artwork, always relates to the artist, whether they admit it or not."
When not sewing up little patches of lawn for her photos, she teaches photography at Purchase and at CUNY's Staten Island campus and freelances for The New York Times Magazine. But for some time at least, Mesa-Pelly is likely to be typed as another ambitious Yale M.F.A. grad ('95)one of the many young women photographers who have hit the art world hard and fast over the past few years. Though she's been tapped for a expanded traveling version of last year's breakthrough Yale-grad fest, "Another Girl, Another Planet," cocurated by Crewdson, she doesn't seem much interested in the bandwagon. She'd rather talk about escape, transformation, and building things. "I want to make full-scale constructions that I can actually go into," she says, her eyes lighting up. "Basically, I've been cheating, using the illusion of photography. I've made segments of places and worked within the segments. What I'm interested in doing now is making the construction, going into the construction, and having a segment of a real world showing through. I don't know how my talent for making things is going to hold up, but it's held up so far."

BVI: Alternative to Full Provisioning

Been scratching my head over the local eatery question. Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough since we cook a lot on the boat.
You're going to have a taxi-van ride whether you get to Tortola by ferry or plane so ask the driver about local places to eat. S/he probably won't be much help far from wherever s/he lives.
Roti Palace in Roadtown is reasonably local. It's a bit of a hike from the Sunsail base but might fit into your schedule if you have an evening start. You should pass the Sunny Caribbee spice shop which is a plus.
Christine's bakery in Great Harbour is good - I think they serve breakfast.
Dotsy's in The Settlement on Anegada makes good homemade pizza.
Not local but a bit obscure is the Sandbox on Prickly Pear Island in North Sound -- it's open when it's open.
Not provisioning related are some other thoughts:
In North Sound watch for Anouk who sells jewelry and t-shirts from her dinghy. She lives aboard with her son at anchor near Prickley Pear. She cruised for many years but grew roots in the BVI and has been running her small business there for a couple of decades.
You can get t-shirts all over, but some of the best are at Sydney's Peace & Love in Little Harbour JVD and Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay JVD. Regardless I pack for charters expecting to buy shirts. Pack light. Take extra money. *grin*
I talked in an earlier post about people on smaller islands doing their grocery shopping on Tortola. It's worth noting that there are incredible numbers of people in the BVI that take the ferry to Red Hook and shop at Cost-U-Less on St. Thomas. The whole food distribution network is based in the USVI and food gets older and with less variety as it gets further into the minor islands.
For walkabout and getting off the beaten track your best stops will be anywhere on Tortola, Spanish Town (properly "The Valley"), Anegada, and any of the three anchorages on JVD (prepare to hike major hills). On Tortola stopping in Trellis (to explore East End) and Soper's (to explore West End) will save a lot of cab fares. From Soper's there is a dinghy canal going East that quickly gets you into residential areas.
I'm sure I'll think of other things.
sail fast and eat well, dave

Letter to the Editor: Time for Texas to become smoke-free
CORPUS CHRISTI - Robert Marraro
Time for Texas to be smoke-free
For the third session in a row, our state legislators will consider making all of Texas smoke-free.
Despite 32 cities already passing local ordinances including eight of the 10 most populated, our lawmakers continue to not care about the value and impact of the proposed legislation.
After meeting with Rep. Todd Hunter recently, he still says this is an issue of property rights and will vote against it if existing businesses are not grandfathered and given an exception.
On the other hand, Sen. Hinojosa realizes the economic and health care benefits this legislation brings, and has supported it in the past.
Why does anyone find having to work in an environment filled with secondhand smoke acceptable especially when research proves it causes a variety of diseases to nonsmokers? Local ordinances are preventing smoking inside restaurants, buildings, public offices and churches already. Why would this cause a business to lose any patrons, business or traffic?
The time has come for Texas to take its rightful place as the 25th state in our country to pass this legislation, protecting the health, livelihood and economy of our citizens.

Tenuta Carlina La Togata Brunello di Montalcino 2006
Barbera from Barossa Valley, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
#17 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011
Intense ruby red with garnet reflexes. The bouquet is ethereal, intense and complex. The tast is full-bodied, well structured, austere and tannic.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Very pure aromas and flavors of raspberry and strawberry mark this juicy, elegant Brunello. The acidity keeps this focused and taut, while the vibrant tannins will give it longevity. Shows terrific balance and harmony. Best from 2013 through 2026. 4,000 cases made. "

About Barossa Valley
The Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine industry. The valley is strewn with a series of hamlets, small towns spotted throughout the region.
Barossa ValleyBarossa is red-wine territory, with red grapes consisting of about two-thirds of the region's plantings. The reds, Shiraz in particular, are lauded for their rich, concentrated flavors and aging potential. Old vines of Shiraz and Grenache are popular, many up to 80 years old. The valley is home to some of the most famous vineyards of Australia - this is where the first Penfolds Grange was made. Whites are also found, mainly from the Semillon grape – these wines are as full-bodied as the reds although harder to find. Riesling and Chardonnay are also planted.
Eden ValleyRight next to Barossa Valley, but a bit higher in elevation, Eden Valley is an ideal neighbor. Many wineries source vineyards from both areas as the climate difference in Eden Valley leads to wines of a different character. Reds are still mainly Shiraz and Grenache, but the wines are often more restrained and less dense than those in the Barossa Valley. Whites are popular here too. Eden Valley Rieslings and Semillons are particularly excellent.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

(NYSE: CAT / NYSE Euronext: CATR / LSE: CTA) informs its stockholders that today a Form 8-K has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") with respect to a material impairment. A related press release was furnished as an exhibit to the Form 8-K. On January 16, 2013, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Caterpillar Inc.

Mercola Creates New Saw Palmetto Supplement
New Saw Palmetto Supplement Utilizes Unique Capsule-in-capsule Technology
Hoffman Estates, IL (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
Dr. Mercola announced today that he now offers a new saw palmetto supplement.
Saw Palmetto with Lycopene is a Mercola exclusive — a unique, groundbreaking formula that combines saw palmetto and lycopene in a "single" capsule.
Lycopene is naturally acidic, so it is virtually impossible to put lycopene and saw palmetto in the same capsule without lycopene destroying saw palmetto. Dr Mercola´s Saw Palmetto with Lycopene is able to get around this issue, however, by use of capsule-in-capsule technology. There´s actually a capsule of lycopene inside of a capsule of saw palmetto! This prevents the two ingredients from mixing and allows them to maintain their integrity. But that´s not the only challenge.
One of the greatest challenges with saw palmetto is inconsistency in the potency of the extract. That´s why the Mercola formula uses only ℠wildcrafted´ berries at their peak of maturity, grown in the USA (in Florida). Then Mercola´s manufacturers apply the DeepExtract technology with a proprietary CO2 process.
Mercola stresses the company´s ongoing commitment to product purity and the highest level of quality control available through advanced technology throughout the entire formulation and production process of all its supplements.
"That is why we implemented an advanced botanical-based stabilization system called O2B to help ensure longevity of the ingredients," said Dr. Mercola. "And that is why I believe this Saw Palmetto with Lycopene is the premier saw palmetto supplement."

SilverSky Announces Groundbreaking Service for Targeted and Zero-Day Attack Prevention
Utilizes Innovative Techniques to Provide Industry's Most Up-to-date Protection for Advanced Email-Borne Threats
NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — SilverSky, the leading independent provider of cloud-based managed security services, today announced the launch of its Targeted Attack Prevention (TAP) solution. TAP will help customers better prepare for and prevent today's more sophisticated threats, including targeted attacks, zero-day attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs). SilverSky's newest product offering breaks new ground by leveraging leading-edge statistical analysis techniques, static and dynamic analysis, machine learning and innovative sandbox techniques that analyze unknown objects with malware engines while applying advanced techniques to detect and prevent attacks, even without signatures.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130131/NE51633LOGO)
"It's no secret that the bad guys are smarter, better funded and more organized than ever before," said John Viega, executive vice president of products, strategy and services, SilverSky. "Yesterday's signature-based approaches and simple content filtering, while still necessary, aren't enough. Further, they are often deployed out-of-band, and are as a result detective, and not preventative. Our TAP service is deployed in-line with customer email, allowing for a preventative approach."
SilverSky TAP, part of SilverSky's Email Protection Services, is a cloud-based service that stops targeted attacks, spear phishing, "longline" phishing, and advanced zero-day exploits without relying on anti-virus signatures, which take time to develop, leaving customers vulnerable in the meantime. In addition to sandboxing, a technique used by other targeted attack solutions, SilverSky TAP uses advanced techniques including statistical analysis, machine learning and static and dynamic analysis to catch attacks that can defeat simple sandboxing.
As part of the broader portfolio of SilverSky Managed Security Services, customers have access to security at all points of the kill chain, providing a rich defense in depth strategy that includes web security, employee training, 24/7/365 event monitoring and cross-customer correlation.
According to research from the Online Trust Alliance (OTA) 2014 Data Protection and Breach Readiness Guide in analysis of nearly 500 breaches in the first half of 2013, 89 percent could have been avoided had simple controls and security best practices been implemented. SilverSky aims to use its Targeted Attack Prevention product to help its customers further prepare for these ongoing and increasing outside attacks and add new protections to counter the advancing state of adversaries.
SilverSky's Targeted Attack Prevention service will be showcased at the RSA Conference and is now available for pre-orders and will be generally available in March 2014.
Today the company also announced the expansion of SilverSky Labs and the addition of vulnerability expert, Brandon Edwards as vice president SilverSky Labs. For more information on SilverSky Labs: https://www.silversky.com/news-and-events/press-releases/SilverSky-Announces-Expanded-Lab-Capabilities-Hire-of-Threat-Prevention-Expert-Brandon-Edwards.
"Traditional zero-day systems are flawed in that they assume that a payload will exhibit detectable behavior in the allotted time-window," said Brandon Edwards, vice president SilverSky Labs. "With our TAP solution we can help customers adjust protections to prepare for specific and unusual attack scenarios and offer more comprehensive detection techniques."

No matter if one counts himself a supporter of the death penalty or not, most agree it should be done in the most effective way possible, ending life quickly and painlessly.
Most states have decided the best method is the three drug formula used in lethal injections, first developed in the late '70s. The first drug is an anesthetic; the second paralyzes all muscles, including the ones needed to breathe; and the third causes cardiac arrest.
But someone is speaking out and questioning if the time isn't right to change the formula its creator, Dr. Jay Chapman.
"It may be time to change it," Chapman said in a recent interview with CNN. "There are many problems that can arise ... given the concerns people are raising with the protocol it should be re-examined."
One of the problems is the anesthetic drug used, which does not affect everyone the same. According to a recent study, instead of providing a quick, painless death, some death row inmates are actually conscious when they slowly suffocate from the injection but are unable to communicate because their muscles are paralyzed.
For example, it took 90 minutes for Ohio officials to execute Joseph Clark, convicted of murdering two people. News accounts of his execution indicate Clark raised his head off the gurney and said repeatedly, "don't work, don't work," and moaned and groaned as he struggled with prison officials. He eventually asked prison officials, "Can you just give me something by mouth to end this?"
There are, of course, some who would say Clark and other murderers deserve the most painful means of death possible. However, making sure the death penalty is administered in a humane way is the difference between justice and vengeance.
Which means, if states are going to continue to administer the death penalty, the lethal injection formula must be changed. Chapman admits that, were he creating the drug combo today he would not have done things the same.
In addition, because it is such a complicated procedure, lethal injection leaves the door open to general incompetence on prison medical staffs. In Florida last year, an execution took 34 minutes because IV needles were inserted straight through the inmate's veins and into the flesh in his arms.
We hope Chapman's words will be heeded and a new, better formula developed though we're not sure bringing back the guillotine, as Chapman suggests to CNN, is the best path for the future.

The following is a monograph I wrote for Plant Healer Magazine, on one of my all time favourite herbs, ocotillo. Its one of the four herbs I'll be focusing on in my class next week at the Herbfolk Gathering. I use it so frequently, for such a multitude of issues, and find that the changes it affects in a person are both long-term and profound. These are some of my thoughts on it, organised into monograph format.
If you're interested in formulas containing ocotillo, check out this antimicrobial gut healing formula and this waterways elixir.
Ocotillo: Fouquieria splendens.
Energetics: warming, drying, moving.
Actions: Liver stimulant, portal stimulant, circulatory stimulant, lymphagogue.
I was hiking with a friend in the desert. It was night time, there was a full moon high in the sky, and we were making our way to a favourite spot of ours to sit and look out over the desert and chat. The wash we were in became a canyon, the cool grey walls climbing higher on either side. The scent of desert lavender and creosote filled the crisp night air. Silence reigned, punctuated by the crunch of desert floor under our feet and the occasional coyote yip in the distance.
Stillness. One of the things that always strikes me about the desert is how still it is. I don't mean devoid of life, as once you learn to pay attention to small details you notice the life everywhere: a lizard here, a snake camouflaged under a bush there, small pieces of green shooting out between rocks. But deserts are still because they are masters of efficiency. Why move so much when it's hot? Why waste water when it is scarce? Movement in the desert (as with most things in the desert) is subtle, and interestingly, in such a dry place, this subtle movement is about water. Water conservation, water movement, water storage. Water strikes the surface of the desert in a monsoon and within days the hillsides and washes are ablaze with colour as life springs up from every crack, every crevice. Fluid dynamics, when observed in a dry place, take on an entirely different meaning, as desert plants seize the opportunity to grow as soon as it presents itself.
There's a narrow path that makes its way up the canyon wall, and at the top, barrel cactus sentinels stand as lookouts. We passed them, carefully, and came out onto a field of ocotillo. We walked in silence, the moon so big and bright that it cast shadows around us, and at one point, when we came into view of one of the biggest and oldest ocotillos in the area, she stopped, grabbed my arm and, staring directly at the big old plant with its bright red blooms ablaze in the night sky, she whispered 'what. IS. that?'.
But in order to explain why this was such a big deal, I need to explain a little bit about ocotillo itself, and then about my friend's health history…

The Last Real Letter

It was mid-afternoon, and before going through a backlog of e-mails I decided to go to my real mail box and check my real mail. This is usually a somber experience. What fun is it to look through bills, advertisements and junk? This time, though, something got my attention. A blue envelope was in the stack of mail, and my address was handwritten on it.

I was half asleep on the couch the other night when something struck me: I'm the human equivalent of a soft-serve "twist" cone. I jumped slightly at this realization — nothing makes me sit bolt upright, mind you. I'm a twist cone: a safe mix of vanilla and chocolate.

Julie: Breakups during this age of cell phones and text messages seem to be so challenging, trying to get away from "it." I'm usually one second away from getting this urge to send a text, avoiding painful conversations, just to make sure that the stupid one will at least think about me for a minute. And reconsider? Larry: Julie's young. I'm not.

Not long ago, I finished reading The Story of Joe Gould as told by Joseph Mitchell, a columnist at The New Yorker magazine from the 1930s until the mid-'60s. Living solely off his friends' contributions to "The Joe Gould Fund," he spent his days as an eccentric, drinking and interacting with the city's pop society of the time.

A few weeks ago, my friend Julie and I were walking the sidewalks of downtown and decided to take a No. 1 bus to Mount Adams. It was a nice spring afternoon, and we wanted to take in the sights up on the hill. While walking in Mount Adams, I couldn't help but notice all the cars parked on the hilly streets.

Didn't Jesus Love Lambs?

On Easter I attended a family dinner at which my ex-wife served roast leg of lamb. Thoughts of my friend Greg's words from Friday were in my head — that there's proof Jesus had lived. What would Jesus think of me eating a lamb? I started to feel guilty. But I hope that Jesus did live. If it's true, I'm sure he was a good person and someone I would have wanted to hang out with.

Simple but wonderful morning discoveries make me happy, make me glad I didn't give up on myself. Only a year ago, in fact last spring, I was fighting something in my mind that was getting the better of me, taking me over. There were no birds singing and there was nothing in the sky I wanted to watch or witness.

Call it a bad omen. As I traveled along I-71, I saw it, creeping out of the horizon in a butterscotch mass of grizzled fur: a cocker spaniel in its final resting place along the side of the highway. The family dog probably. Surrounded by medians, he must have fallen out of a car. That doesn't happen in normal times, I thought, eyes wide. In normal times, you watch him just a little bit closer.

I think of my friends John, Amber and Anna. I also think of that man who wanted bus fare at the bus stop, the guy who tried to bully me for cigarette money and the woman who wanted to buy milk for her babies. Trying to put myself in all of their shoes, trying to understand why some people can find jobs even in bad times while others have to ask or beg for money and live off the streets, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around it all.

It was damp and cold and my coat was thin, so I hurriedly scurried through Fountain Square. But when I saw the horse and carriage, I halted. My ears perked up. I'd never been on a carriage ride. Whenever I saw those horses, I thought about how they braved the Cincinnati streets, the concrete fields, no matter the season. I thought about leather harnesses rubbing against their coats. And the hard pavement, the steel bits. I thought about hooves cracking.

I have hearing loss. My right ear serves only for purposes of ornamentation. In 2005 I went into the Atlantic Ocean and came out with only my left ear working. I'm not alone in this condition. A colleague, a very able reporter in town, likewise went into the Atlantic off the coast of Florida and lost the use of his right ear.

People overestimate the benefits of prevention: Study
Published on Nov 16, 2012 9:01 AM
(REUTERS) - Patients asked to estimate how many lives would be saved through cancer screening or how many hip fractures can be prevented with bone-building medication mostly overestimate the benefits of these preventive measures, according to a New Zealand study.
Several hundred patients were asked about the benefits of various cancer screenings and were surprised by how small the benefits actually were, according to findings that appeared in the Annals of Family Medicine.
Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who communicate health information often don't detail how much a given test or drug can help, but only say that people ought to have it, said Annette O'Connor at the University of Ottawa, who wasn't a part of the study.
"I think it's led to more people taking part in screening or availing themselves of preventive medication than would have been the case if they were presented the information in more meaningful terms," said lead author Ben Hudson, a professor at the University of Otago in Christchurch, New Zealand.
