Deciding Not to Die
A TV Movie Celebrates Quadriplegic Larry McAfee's Crusade to Reclaim His Life
"There was not another mark on him," says Larry's mother, Amelia. Yet in that split second, the 6'6", 240-lb. McAfee, an avid outdoorsman, hunter and fledgling parachutist, had sustained what the medical profession calls a "complete injury," one that would leave him permanently paralyzed from the neck down—unable to walk, eat or even breathe again unaided.
In 1989, broken in spirit after being warehoused in a series of institutions, McAfee won the legal right to shut off his life-sustaining respirator. But today the man whose story is told in the CBS docudrama The Switch (airing Sunday, Jan. 17) lives with four other severely disabled people on the outskirts of Augusta, Ga., in a modest two-story house, the very first independent-care home in the state—and one that would not exist without the crusade that was championed by McAfee himself.
As described in The Switch (the tide refers to the mouth-controlled timer that would have allowed him to shut off his ventilator), McAfee's very existence, however arduous, seems nothing short of miraculous. Given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at the accident scene by a nurse who happened to be picnicking nearby, he was airlifted by helicopter to Atlanta's Georgia Baptist Hospital. McAfee, played in the TV movie by Gary Cole (Midnight Caller), spent the next year in Atlanta's prestigious Shepherd Spinal Center before returning to his apartment and round-the-clock home-nursing care. But in the fall of 1987, his $1 million insurance coverage ran out and he became, in the words of Dr. Russ Fine, a University of Alabama professor and talk show host who is now McAfee's close friend and advocate, "the living example of every thing that's wrong about the system that serves [severely disabled] people."
Because there was no suitable place for him in Georgia, McAfee first was transferred to a nursing home in Ohio for 14 months. He was placed among elderly patients and had no television or telephone. "You are just a sack of potatoes," he says of his time there. After complaining loudly, McAfee was moved In the intensive care unit of Atlanla's public Grady Memorial Hospital, the only facility in Georgia then equipped to care for respirator-dependent patients. It was there, surrounded by dying patients and an overworked medical staff, that he began his battle for the legal right to die.
In September 1989, a superior court judge ruled that Me Aloe had the right to turn off his ventilator, a decision upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court and reluctantly supported by McAfee's agonized parents. Fine installed the switch that McAfee himself designed. "But," says Fine, "I had this intuitive sense that he didn't want to die."
That intuition proved correct. The device gave McAfee something that had been denied him for four years: control. "I'd forgotten what it was like," he told Fine. In winning the right to die, McAfee instead found renewed determination to live and began his battle to establish an independent-care center for the severely disabled. In a moving appearance before the Georgia legislature in February 1990, he told lawmakers: "Remember that in an instant, this can happen to you or, worse, to someone you love."
Today, as a result of his efforts, McAfee lives with two men and two women in a modest brick-and-clapboard house partly subsidized by a $33,000 annual appropriation from the state. A rotating staff of a dozen nursing assistants and a 24-hour on-call nurse provide care. His lungs must be suctioned 10 times a day and his bowels manually emptied. Yet on Larry McAfee's good days, he goes for a ride outdoors in his wheelchair or spends hours at his computer preparing for a job he hopes to land at an engineering company. The fateful switch still exists but somehow no longer seems crucial. "If I ever have to return to an institution, then I prefer death," says McAfee, his voice punctuated by the rhythmic whoosh of his ventilator. "But never as long as we have it as good as this. My life is good now. I have hope."

Bloomberg Still Sees Quinn as Mayor Material
For long-standing allies, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Council Speaker Christine Quinn have clashed conspicuously, with economic legislation only the latest in a string of high-profile issues dividing the city's most powerful politicians.
On Wednesday, however, Bloomberg put to rest any speculation that his rapport with Quinn had become strained, declaring she would make an excellent successor.
"It's not for me to take sides — certainly not now — in a race that I don't even know who's going to be running," the mayor told reporters when the topic turned to policy disputes with Quinn. "But," he added, "Chris Quinn is very competent and would be a very good mayor."
The mayor didn't make an endorsement and isn't expected to do so anytime soon. Jamie McShane, a spokesman for Quinn, didn't respond to an inquiry about the mayor's comments.
The most recent policy rift between Bloomberg and Quinn came to forefront Tuesday, when the City Council overrode a mayoral veto to establish a prevailing wage for building-service employees in certain city-leased or subsidized facilities. Bloomberg denounced that legislation as terribly harmful to the city and the economy.
Another controversial bill, which mandates companies provide a living wage to workers if they receive substantial economic benefits from the city, passed the council last month and is expected to get the mayor's veto soon.
Bloomberg has vowed to file lawsuits to block both wage bills
Quinn also oversaw on Tuesday the passage of a bill aimed at encouraging banks to be more responsive to the needs of New Yorkers. Bloomberg called the legislation "ridiculous" and plans to veto it in the coming weeks.
These disagreements and others haven't altered Bloomberg's respect for Quinn, who is widely believed to enjoy the mayor's favor in next year's race for mayor. "I've always thought that Chris Quinn has done a very good job as the speaker," he said Wednesday.
For Quinn, who hasn't yet officially declared that she will run next year, support from Bloomberg could be damaging in what is expected to be a hard-fought Democratic primary. The party's most liberal voters — those least likely to agree with Bloomberg — tend to vote in strong numbers in the primary.
Quinn's critics have complained she is too tightly aligned with Bloomberg and hasn't challenged him enough. In the coming months, her potential rivals and their surrogates are expected to use Quinn's ties to the mayor as a brickbat on the campaign trail.

To the Editor.—
For many years most hospitals in the United States have employed a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation of cases of neoplastic disease, using the tumor board as its major vehicle for the discussion, recommendations, follow-up, and educational aspects of such cases.The fragmentation of the practice of medicine into numerous busy, highly developed specialties and subspecialties in recent years has had a devastating effect on the attendance at tumor board meetings and has tended to place the primary responsibility for care on those physicians in subspecialty areas and in the field of oncology. These subspecialists, moreover, have developed their own conferences and educational sessions and have tended to withdraw from the general tumor board sessions. In general, the more profound effects of this have been seen in the larger hospitals where specialization is the greatest.Because of these difficulties with our own sessions, the members of the

Last Friday at The Fillmore in San Francisco, I felt right at home. As a Colorado native who moved to the Bay Area just three months ago it's been an incredible transition and vast discovery process with the amount of incredible local and national musical talent that plays here constantly. Last Friday was humbling on multiple levels.
After a very intimate Fox Theater show the night before dedicated to longtime taper Eric Vandercar, who died tragically in a train crash in New York, moe. was ready to bring it to the Denver crowd. It is their 25th Anniversary tour, and it takes a special group of musicians to be able to pull that off.
The Jeff Austin Band played last week at the Bluebird Theater in Denver to showcase their new album, The Simple Truth.
The Wood Brothers brought their traveling, musical tent show to Eugene's McDonald Theatre (Jan. 21) and held a genuine revival meeting, awakening the yearning spirits of the devout, as well as the newly converted.
There is a slow pace and a sparse population in the Adirondack Park. We have approximately the same amount of year round residents in 2015 as we did in 1900. Having a music venue that is truly close to home is a luxury I no longer have. A fair concession for living here. Hopefully, this clarifies why I consider the Higher Ground in South Burlington, despite the 90 minutes it takes me to arrive from my doorstep, my home field.
Conductor Matt Butler is a genius! However he got inspired to come up with this idea of improvisational conducting talented musicians was brilliant. The reason that I say this is because it is very pleasant and beneficial to all parties when musicians are happier than the crowd. Everyone wins! There are only a few inspirational times when that happens. I see it when I am at major festivals and musicians are collaborating, or I see it in super jams such as the Everyone Orchestra.
It was another fun filled weekend of music in Denver, but I chose to be at the funkiest concert in town. This was the second night of this bill, and there were virtually no openers in this show. All three of these musical acts are headliners, which made this show a no brainer for me. I knew this show would be great because I have seen all of these bands several times, but never before like this. This was the best that I have seen all three of these acts perform.
Recently, the music world has been teeming with musicians who have stepped up to either replace or support bands that they are not necessarily permanent members of, yet. My last three reviews (Yonder Mountain String Band, STS9, Electron) have detailed surprise replacements/additions who have extremely floored die-hard audiences of the original lineups.
"Do your work, but do your thing," Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"Do your work, but do your thing," Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The String Cheese Incident concluded a two-night stand at Eugene's McDonald Theatre (Jan. 19), leaving little doubt about whether they had done their work, but had they done their thing?
It wasn't hard to feel right at home inside the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA. With Jessie Bridges warming up the crowd (and successfully so) before Paul Knowles and Nicole Storto of New American Farmers took the stage. Freight and Salvage Coffee House is a historically rich home-away-from-home for both musicians and listeners alike.

What does it mean to be a visual citizen – for those who are seen, for those who witness what is seen, and for those who capture what is seen in public? Under what circumstances are people in crisis seen, but not heard, in public? In what ways do visual practices condition who belongs and who does not belong to a political community? How is belonging to a political community accomplished visually? Why does seeing human rights and humanitarian crises matter? This conference explores these and other questions about the links between visual arts, public communication, human rights, and humanitarian action. The aim is to recast citizenship as more than a legal property or juridical frame. Instead, invited speakers consider the ways in which imagery and organized spaces effect how people realize their place in a political community and manage what they do about it. What we see, how we see it, according to whom, and where contribute to the way people in crisis debate meaningfully about how they are governed.

IMAP-010_A050 ECO kit revision 1.0 for MultiNet V5.0A 05-Apr-2005
Copyright© 200 by Process Software, LLC
This ECO kit provides a new version of the IMAP_SERVER executable
for MultiNet V5.0 Rev A.
The ranking for this ECO is 3.
The overall ranking for the kit is 3.
This kit provides the following changes to V5.0A:
- Enhances the IMAP server by allowing the OpenVMS documented
limit of 255 characters per message record (line) to be
relaxed. The new maximum record size is 1024. The actual
limit in use may be set anywhere between 256 and 1024,
inclusive, through the use of a new logical name,

If the logical does not exist, the default value of 256 will
be used. This is the value used in prior versions of
Note that while the IMAP server will now allow lines up to
1024 characters long, the callable mail interface it uses
is still documented to have a 255 character limit. Testing
has shown that at least some versions of OpenVMS do allow
longer lines than this and all supported versions allow 256,

"Heated" Deliberations in Refco Lawyer Trial; Finger-Cutting Threat
Should we call it 12 Really Angry Men (and Women)?
We have no idea whether former Mayer Brown partner Joe Collins (pictured) will be found guilty or not following an eight-week criminal trial. But we do know this: don't mess with his jury.
Our fearless newswires reporter Chad Bray is out with a story (link unavailable) saying that the judge in the case received a rather alarming note from a juror earlier today. The male juror told the judge that a female juror had issued threats of physical harm against him on Wednesday:
"…[T]he threat of bodily harm brings this abuse to a whole new level," the male juror wrote. In a loud and belligerent manner, the female juror "threatened to 'cut off your (my) finger.' She made that statement twice. In the same tirade she stated, 'I will have my husband take care of you."'
The presiding judge, Robert P. Patterson, responded this afternoon by sending a note to the jury "to get them back into rational thinking and not to let anger prevail."
Yesterday the jury indicated to Patterson that they had been unable to reach a verdict on all 14 counts against Collins, who was an outside lawyer for commodity broker Refco Inc. Patterson urged them to continue deliberations, and today marks the sixth day.
Collins is accused of helping former Refco Chief Executive Phillip R. Bennett and others hide the firm's dismal financial picture, namely more than $400 million of undisclosed debt. Bennett pleaded guilty to charges last year and was sentenced to 16 years. For prior LB coverage of the Collins case, click here, here and here.
In a separate note Thursday, the jury foreperson said the altercation between the two jurors "could be traced to both parties involved."
"There has also been conversations on numerous occasions regarding respectfulness" by the juror who was threatened, the foreperson wrote. "I do not intend this note to reflect the opinion of the jurors on a whole, but thought it important to voice my personal opinion on yesterday's altercation."
Also on Thursday, Patterson denied a motion for a mistrial by lawyers for Collins — who made the unusual step of taking the witness stand in his own defense — following the two juror notes.

Big Insurance Means Big Money
Different faces of the drive to expand health insurance coverage land on the front pages of the WSJ and New York Times this morning. The settings are quite different — the Times story looks at the struggle of a small, poor state to cover its uninsured, while the Journal article examines the fight in Washington over the role of private insurance companies in providing Medicare benefits.
The role of private insurers in Medicare has been growing in recent years, through a program called Medicare Advantage, the Journal's Sarah Lueck writes. Some eight million Americans now get Medicare through private companies, at a cost of about $76 billion this year. Democrats say Medicare Advantage is more expensive than traditional, government-administered Medicare. And a planned Democratic push to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program — a project expected to cost $50 billion — has some party leaders looking to save money by pushing back against Medicare Advantage. The insurance companies say they offer better coverage than government-administered plans, and they've lined up key minority leaders to fight for the program.
Meanwhile, the state of Maine is struggling to enroll people in a health insurance plan its sponsors hoped would lead to universal coverage there. The program launched in 2005, with a goal of enrolling 31,000 uninsured by the end of the first year, and 130,000 by 2009. But so far, only 18,800 people have signed up — and 60% of those had insurance already. Though the program is subsidized by the state, it still can cost more than $100 a month, which puts it out of reach for some. Rates are climbing (they went up about 13% this year), and the state government is footing more of the bill than it expected. "Maine is just not wealthy enough to cobble together enough resources to fully cover the uninsured," a state health policy expert told the Times.
Bonus Coverage: In her Deja Vu column in this morning's WSJ, Cynthia Crossen writes that, before World War I, it looked like "health-insurance legislation in the U.S. was inevitable." But the plan was undone by "a mighty alliance of some of the unlikeliest bedfellows in history," including insurance companies, doctors, labor leaders and Christian Scientists.
Health Blog Question of the Day: How do we finance health insurance for those in need?

I've heard lots of great stories from our own traveling party today. Jim Rutherford talked about seeing Kate Smith sing "God Bless America" before a game (live and in person, not the recording that plays just about everywhere to this day). Ron Francis and Skip Cunningham talked about just how tough it was to win in this building, and the bruises one could count on having after a game here. And of course all the Flyers folks around here are full of stories from the glory days of the Broad Street Bullies.
I don't have a ton of time to write, so I figured I would do my talking with BlackBerry photography.

There are other Symposiums scheduled.
See http://offshore.ussailing.org/SAS/Seminars/SAS_Calendar.htm for upcoming events.
Safety at Sea Symposium
The 2015 Safety at Sea Symposium is scheduled for March 21-22, 2015 and will be held at University of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts (Google Map). This event is the result of the collaboration of efforts by a number of organizations interested in promoting safety at sea. It is sponsored by the Marion Bermuda Cruising Yacht Association and organized by the Blue Water Sailing Club, one of the three sponsors of the Marion Bermuda Race along with the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dingy Club and the Beverly Yacht Club. The Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race also has participated in the planning of the event and has encouraged their members to attend.
The symposium is sanctioned by US Sailing. The agenda includes safety topics described in the 2006-2007 "International Sailing Federation Special Regulations" (ISAF) Handbook, section 6 - Training.
MBCYR Safety Requirements - Skills
4.3.1 Safety at Sea Training: At least 30% of those aboard the boat, but not fewer than two members of the crew, unless racing single-handed, including the person in charge, shall have attended a one-day or two-day US Sailing Safety at Sea Seminar within the last 5 years, or other courses as accepted by US Sailing.
Note from Race Administration: We also recommend that the majority of your return crew, especially those who have never sailed offshore, attend. It is not required (currently) that return crew attend, but we strongly recommend it. Safety is just as important cruising home from Bermuda as it is racing to Bermuda.
This symposium features a very experienced group of speakers to address a series of topics which are of vital interest to all serious sailors. In addition to the safety topics there will be breakout sessions for the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race and the Marion Bermuda Race.
On-site check-in will begin at 0700, March 21, 2015 in the Campus Center (#1 on campus map). The program begins promptly at 0730 and is scheduled to continue until 1600. Marion to Bermuda and Marblehead to Halifax breakout sessions will follow and end at 1800. A notebook and pen is recommended for all sessions and for the Sunday in-water session, a bathing suit and towel is needed.
Pool attendees (Clark Athletic Center) should come prepared with a towel, change of clothes, and drinking water. In addition they should be prepared to enter the pool with their full foul weather gear including their boots, as well as their life jacket and tether. For those who cannot bring their life jacket a few will be available to borrow. Trash bags will be provided to stow wet gear in after the conclusion of the pool work. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Dan O'Connor firstname.lastname@example.com

Kevin Montague - Damage Prevention - Rig Maintenance
Kevin Montague, Owner and founder of North East Rigging Systems, LLC since 2002, has been rigging in the North East marine Market full time since graduating from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 1982. A lifelong sailor with many offshore races and campaigns under his belt, he has developed a keen eye for what works well offshore to make passages safe and fast. Whether replacing your standing rigging or rod or a total refit of your rig and deck layout, Kevin has been involved in thousands of offshore adventures. He has worked with many owners and yacht designers to make the most of existing applications, as well as being involved on new "clean slate" projects.
Whether it's maximizing your current boat, or prepping the new one, his experience and knowledge is vital to any offshore application. Whether carbon or aluminum, few can give your rig a better inspection and game plan for long distance sailing. On boats from 25 to 65 feet, and larger projects as required, insight to rigs and systems allow for doing things correctly and on budget. Working hand and hand with the manufacturers directly and having constant dialogue with them, allows for exact applications to be satisfied with the least amount of stress and anxiety to the owners.

Issue No.01 - January/February (2004 vol.19)
pp: 13-17
Hai Zhuge , Chinese Academy of Sciences

Web pages' exponential growth and intrinsic characteristics prevent people from effectively and efficiently sharing information. To overcome the Web?s shortcomings, scientists are working toward the next-generation Web, with most research focusing on two approaches: improving the existing Web and creating a new application platform independent of the Web. The Knowledge Grid will exploit research in both of these areas, using it to build a more efficient and effective intelligent application platform.

Hai Zhuge, "China's E-Science Knowledge Grid Environment", IEEE Intelligent Systems, vol.19, no. 1, pp. 13-17, January/February 2004, doi:10.1109/MIS.2004.1265879

Described among the New Zealand and international sports fishing fraternities as a "legend", Bay of Islands angler 'Snooks' Fuller will be honoured in the United State for his contribution to game fishing.
Captain Fuller's life-long career in sports fishing in the Bay of Islands and overseas will be recognised induction into in the Legendary Captains and Crews Hall of Fame of the International Game Fishing Association at a special ceremony in Florida on February 16.
Snooks is the third member of the Bay of Islands Swordfish Club (BOISC) to be inducted, following Alma Baker in 2006 and John Chibnall MNZM in 2012. BOISSC president Trevor Woolston said the club was extremely proud of the three members and their achievements which continued the strong history of New Zealand's oldest fishing club.
"These inductions highlight the strong part this club has played in the development of game fishing and the conservation of the sports fishing resource. Our club has been at the forefront of protection of the recreational fishing scene in New Zealand and now works internationally with the IGFA (attempting) to ensure that the world's oceans are protected from over fishing and species depletion."
Woolston went on to note Snooks' grandfather started the iconic New Zealand marine business in 1886, delivering mail and supplies by boat around the Bay of Islands and picking up cream from the various farms, later to become popular among tourists as the famous Cream Trip.
"His family involvement in the marine industry meant that a marine career was always on the card for Snooks. At age 19, he designed and built his now famous sports fishing boat, Lady Doreen, using Kauri trees felled near Kaitaia and milled at a timber mill at Rangiahua. The timber was transported to Deeming Brothers boat building shed at Opua where the Lady Doreen took shape. She has become one of New Zealand's best known sports fishing boats and is still in use 61 years later."
Fuller will be inducted alongside five other international sports fishing "legends": captain Jimmie Albright (US), captain Bob Lewis (US), captain Frank LoPreste (US), captain Gary Stuve (US), and captain Laurie Mitchell (US), who fished in the Bay of Islands with famous American angler and pulp fiction writer, Zane Grey.
