Ricky Craven was thousands of feet in the air when he knew his concussion problem had turned serious.
As the plane he was riding entered clouds, Craven, a NASCAR Cup Series driver, grabbed the armrest and started to panic. The plane had inverted and was flying upside down.
"It scared the hell out of me," he said.
Noticing Craven's distress, the pilot pointed at the artificial horizon gauge. It showed everything was normal.
That was late 1997 or early 1998, at least eight months after Craven had a concussion in a crash during Cup practice at Texas Motor Speedway. After the vicious crash, Craven missed just two races before getting back into his car and continuing to race. His head hurt so bad he sat home and cried, but he wouldn't stop racing.
He wishes he had stayed out of the car and given himself longer to heal.
He says that's what Dale Earnhardt Jr. should do.
Earnhardt, NASCAR's most popular driver, announced Thursday that he will miss at least the next two races because of two concussions this season, the most recent one on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Regan Smith will drive Earnhardt's No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports car.
— NASCAR'S wildest Talladega crashes | Craven's 1996 smashup
"My gut tells me Dale Jr. is probably done for the rest of the season," said Craven, who retired from racing after the 2004 season and is a NASCAR analyst for ESPN. "If he's having symptoms, there's no logic in getting back behind the wheel this year, with just a few races until the offseason."
Craven, who won two Cup races in his 10-year career, knows that's easy to say and hard to do. Drivers are under immense pressure from their sponsors, their teams, fans and themselves to never miss a lap.
Craven, who also was driving for Hendrick at the time of his crash, finally spoke up after the fourth race of the 1998 season — 11 months after his concussion. He started out fast in the race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, running in the top five early in the event. He remembers someone had an oil leak, and oil and debris clogged his windshield.
"I felt like I was falling out of the seat going into the corner. I drifted back," he said. He finished 34th. "It was just a horrible race, just horrible."
The next day, he sought treatment. He was diagnosed with a vestibular weakness — a balance problem, and it's what made him think the plane was upside down and that he was falling out of the car. He didn't race again for four months.
"In hindsight, I can sit here today and tell you the most intelligent thing I could have done, if I had the courage, was to not get back in the car after the wreck, to not get back in that car until Daytona of 1998 at the earliest," Craven said.
"But there's an insecurity associated with being a professional athlete. That insecurity is, 'You'll never get back in that car. Somebody's going to be driving your car.' I can assure you, that weighed heavily in my decision."
Earnhardt is not in danger of losing his job, but that doesn't mean stepping away for two races is easy. Like athletes in other sports, drivers take pride in playing hurt. Earnhardt has already had two concussions this season, and he drove with concussion symptoms for several weeks early in his career.
Experts say the only way to recover from a concussion is to rest in a quiet, stress-free environment. A race weekend is the antithesis of that. The noise, the lights, the shaking car, the unending sensory overload would be disastrous for a driver with a headache, never mind a concussion. The mental acuity required to drive a racecar for 500 miles, plus practice, plus qualifying, would make healing extremely difficult, if not impossible.
"There were people who had the opinion I wasn't tough enough," Craven said. "That was maybe a common opinion. To some degree, I might have had that opinion of myself."
He knows now how wrong that thinking is, and says it's important that Earnhardt not fall into it.
"Whether you're the best driver on the planet or the worst driver on the planet, you're both at risk of this type of injury," Craven said.
A person who is already suffering from the effects of one concussion is in far more danger if he gets another on top of it. That's what's scary about Craven staying in the car, and it's what's dangerous about Earnhardt coming back too soon. It's why Craven says Earnhardt should not drive again until next season.
"There really is no upside," Craven said.
And the downside could be catastrophic.

Topic: Posting Sensitive Subjects and Statistics
A little while ago on another thread, Lainy brought up the topic of whether posting mortality statistics and other more 'negative' stuff openly on this board was demoralizing to people trying to stay positive. I can't find that thread anymore, but I am also curious as to what others think about that. (I hope that I captured the spirit of your post Lainy).
The suggestion she had was putting this information in a place where people could actively choose to read it, instead of intermixing it with other information or posting it on board topics where people usually go and might inadvertently read.
So, in the spirit of open discussion, I bring it up here for input from others (since I can't find Lainy's original question).
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based only on my personal experience as a cancer survivor. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Danville Voters to Reduce Field of Mayoral Candidates from Five to Four
Four of the five candidates running in Tuesday's Danville mayoral primary will advance to the general election in April.
Incumbent Mayor Scott Eisenhauer is running for a third term in Danville, against four challengers -- Vermilion County Board Chairman James "Mouse" McMahon, restaurant owner David Quick, truck driver Donald Nord and Alderman Rickey Williams Junior. Only Eisenhauer, McMahon and Quick have their names on the ballot -- Nord and Williams are running write-in campaigns. But Director Barbara Dreher of the Danville Election Commission said all of them have a chance to be among the final four candidates on the April 5th general election ballot.
"The top four vote-getters out of this election, be they write-ins or the names printed on the ballot ... will be printed on the ballot in April," Dreher explained.
That means at least one of the two write-in candidates will see his name printed on the April ballot. Dreher said it is too late to file to run as a write-in candidate for Danville mayor in the April 5th race.
Eisenhauer had no primary challengers in 2007, but he was among a field of nine candidates in the 2003 Danville mayoral primary. Dreher said that primary attracted about 6,000 voters, but she expects a lighter turnout for this year's primary. However, Dreher anticipates turnout to be heavier in the April election.
Dreher said she has received about 260 early ballots for Tuesday's primary, but a few more could still be in the mail.

Bookish and newly single Jesse Fisher is a thirty-something, university admissions counselor who travels from New York City to his Ohio alma mater for a retirement dinner honoring Peter Hoburg, his favorite English professor. A chance meeting on campus with 19-year-old Zibby - a precocious undergrad who loves classical music, improv and "Twilight" - awakens in Jesse long-dormant feelings of possibility and connection. The pair strike up a long-distance epistolary romance, prompting Jesse to return to campus for another visit. Although Zibby appears beyond her years, the age difference between the budding paramours weighs heavily on Jesse, who is torn between moving forward in life and holding on to the indelible memories of his own university years.

With potholes a constant problem on Wiltshire's roads highways supremo John Thomson could be forgiven for hoping motorists might not notice the full extent of the problem.
But the opposite is true and Coun Thomson is urging everyone to report every hole they spot.
He does not leave home without his iPad so he can snap a picture of any potholes he sees on the county's road and he is urging others to do the same.
Coun Thomson, cabinet member for highways, said: "I am forever taking pictures of potholes on the MyWiltshire app so the problem is immediately logged.
"I know people in Wiltshire are upset about potholes and I will not be satisfied until people in the county are happy with the state of the roads."
He realises that not everyone is as equipped as he is with the latest Apple devices and it might not always be safe to stop and take a picture of a pothole.
He said: "Of course not everyone has an iPhone or iPad but if that is the case they can ring the council and a member of staff will log it on the system.
"We want everyone to be involved with this, regardless of whether or not they are confident with the latest technology."
The app came in for criticism at a Chippenham Area Board meeting in January and Philip Whitehead the highways contract portfolio holder apologised for some of its shortcomings.
But this week Coun Whitehead and Coun Thomson assured the public that the app did work well for logging problems. It passes on the exact location of the hole via GPS tracking to the highways repair team but did not always notify the user that the complaint had been accepted.
Coun Thomson said: "The app is a much better system compared with disappearing into the black hole of CLARENCE."
Reassurance also came from highways officer Adrian Hampton who said these days the public, Wiltshire Council and its highways contractors Balfour Beatty could all be linked via new technology and priority potholes on main roads would be repaired within 24 hours.
Download the MyWiltshire app for free – go to tinyurl.com/omtf2ow or call 0300 456 0105. CLARENCE can still be contacted on 0800 232323 or via email on firstname.lastname@example.com

A CATHEDRAL concert by the Band and Bugles of the Rifles Regiment will take place on April 26 as part of a final push to raise £800,000 needed to preserve medieval glass of "exceptional significance" in the building's Presbytery.
The current total of The Windows Appeal, run by the Friends of Winchester Cathedral, has already topped £550,000 after being launched a year ago.
Most of the cathedral's stained glass was smashed by Parliamentary troops during the Civil War, who even hurled ancient royal bones interred in mortuary chests at the windows they couldn't reach to destroy them.
Medieval glass in aisles either side of the Quire and at Clerestory – the very highest - level were the only areas to survive the savage assault.
A 2012 conservator's report found the condition of the windows to be much worse than initially thought, with urgent work required to prevent them being lost forever.
Some have holes in them and the painted detail lost, while surrounding stonework has been eroded by centuries of weather.
Yet the report said the windows were of "exceptional significance", pivotal to the nation's understanding of glass-painting and design at that time.
The earliest examples date back to 1450, but the appeal also includes the conservation of the large East Window, a Victorian restoration of medieval glass taken from elsewhere in the building.
Chairman of the Friends Mo Hearn said: "We are astounded by people's generosity and so grateful to all those who have contributed.
"To have come so far so quickly is a tremendous achievement. We are now working hard to raise the remaining funds."
Parts of Winchester Cathedral, which draws around 300,000 visitors a year, date back to 1079.

The rock against cancer gig at All Cannings, headlined by Bob Geldof and his Boomtown Rats, has raised a record amount for charities.
The concert, on May 31, raised £35,000 and was 21 tickets short of being a 4,500 sell- out, the biggest attendance yet.
This was the third year of the gig and is the idea of John 'Grubby' Callis, sound engineer for Sir Paul McCartney and from Beechingstoke; Andy Scott, guitarist in The Sweet who lives in All Cannings, and Richard Baulu, landlord of the King's Arms, All Cannings. They have all fought cancer.
As well as The Boomtown Rats, The Troggs, Los Pacaminos with Paul Young, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel and The Straits performed at the concert, plus for the first time this year there was a second stage for three up-and-coming bands.
The £35,000 raised included £10,000 paid by a fan for a guitar belonging to Steve Harley who surprised everyone by auctioning it at the concert.
On Monday, cheques of £14,000 each were presented to Above and Beyond, the charity that supports nine hospitals in Bristol by funding research and improving patient facilities, and Macmillan Cancer Support. A cheque for £7,000 was given to All Cannings Parish Council to use to fund projects in the parish.
The concert raised £30,000 in its first year for Cancer Research UK, Above and Beyond and projects in All Cannings while last year it raised £5,000, split between The Teenage Cancer Trust, Above and Beyond and projects in All Cannings.
Mr Baulu thanked all the crew and volunteers involved in this year's concert.
Next year's concert is on May 30.

If you're not watching FX's original series Sons of Anarchy, you're missing out on what many have called the best show on TV today.
Filled with action, drama, black comedy, suspense, and some of the most disturbing, twisted plot lines on TV, Sons of Anarchy is one of the most intense, emotionally-invested, well-acted and well-written TV series I've ever seen...and I've watched a lot of TV.
After the first season introduced viewers to the Sons of Anarchy outlaw motorcycle club and the fictitious town of Charming, California, it was only natural for those viewers like myself to fall in love with the many different types of townsfolk in this charming little burb. Soon, FX discovered producer Kurt Sutter had a hit on his hands and it's been a rip-roaring ride since.
The first season, which included 13 episodes, introduced viewers to the club, the characters, the bikes, the locales, and more. Of course, after we all fell in love with the characters in the first season, it's only natural that the producers - in the second season - do what any good creative team does and destroys everything that we as viewers had started to love and care for in the show. And I mean this in the best way possible...
While I won't ruin any major plot points, the second season starts with white supremacists entering Charming and committing one of the most shocking crimes against the club possible. This begins a chain of events which sees murder, kidnap, rape, and betrayal the likes of which haven't been seen on TV in this amount before. The entire 13 episodes of season two lead fan-favorite characters on a path of destruction and mayhem the likes of which could only be seen in a series like Sons of Anarchy...after all, the title has "anarchy" in it!
Of course fan-favorite actors return to play fan-favorite characters as Charlie Hunnam returns as Jax, the main character and protagonist of the series, Ron Perlman returns as club president Clarence 'Clay' Morrow, and Katey Sagal returns as Jax's mother and Clay's wife, Gemma Teller Morrow. Other actors returning include Kim Coates as Alex 'Tig' Trager (a standout from Season One who really shines), Tommy Flanagan as Filip 'Chibs' Telford (who finally gets his time in the limelight in Season Two), Ryan Hurst as Harry 'Opie' Winston, and more. As an added bonus, Season Two sees rocker Henry Rollins join the cast as - you guessed it - white supremacist muscleman AJ Weston. Good stuff all around!
The second season Blu-ray 3-disc set brings the impressive series to home video with a beautiful, crystal clear hi-def picture and impressive 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The picture is crisp, clean and easy to watch while the sounds are well managed and easy to hear, be they the well-matched theme music, the softest whisper, or the loudest gunshot.
This set also delivers a number of worthwhile special features, including three commentaries on specific episodes, 13 deleted scenes, a gag reel (that'll have fans laughing out loud) and a "The Moral Code of Sons of Anarchy" featurette which shows how vets returning from war formed the original biker clubs and more. Finally, a 40 minute "Sons of Anarchy Roundtable" includes producer Sutter and 11 actors addressing everything from acting and individual characters to the plot and themes.
It's no real secret the series is roughly based on Shakespeare's classic tragedy Hamlet. So it's to be expect that bad things happen...over and over again. The third season of Sons of Anarchy debuted last night and, for those who've seen Season Two, while it might not seem like things can get any worse, no doubt Sutter and his crew of misfits will somehow make it happen...and we'll no doubt enjoy watching every last minute of it...
Sons of Anarchy: Season Two is available now on DVD and Blu-ray wherever fine home video is sold.

To help address Vallejo's serious issue with squatters taking over abandoned homes, city officials have made it more difficult to get water service, with new procedures that kicked in this month.
The new process includes investigating water service applicants to ensure they're legally in the dwelling, Public Works Director David Kleinschmidt said. Service is denied if they're not and it's illegal to live in a dwelling that has no running water, he said.
Kleinschmidt said the stricter rules improve the city's screening process to reduce the number of people getting water service without a property owner's permission. Proof of ownership or a rental agreement is now required, and follow-up is done to verify the documents' validity, he said.
"That's what's been escaping us," Kleinschmidt said. "We're attempting to verify that the person trying to get water service has the right to be on the property, and squatters are a big part of that."
If the applicant's information can't be verified, service is denied. If the squatters stay anyway, a building official comes in, declares the residence uninhabitable, and possibly cites it, red-tags it and boards it up.
Squatters can be a source of blight by not caring for homes, have been known to start fires to cook or keep warm and sometimes carry out criminal activities.
No one from the city water department immediately returned calls seeking information on if or how many water service applicants have been denied on this basis since Feb. 1.
"There's a fine line where the Police Department has to have proper reasons to go on to the property and address trespassers," Kleinschmidt said. "I know that step one is to deem the building unsafe and tag it."
Information on the new process is on the city's website.
"I've heard it said at City Hall that some people come in and establish water service when they're not the legitimate renters on the property," City Manager Dan Keen said. "I know it's an issue we've been struggling with. If they can get the water on, they can occupy the home for quite a while. Our challenge with these squatters is sometimes they'll wave a document they say is a rental agreement. This is one way to tackle that. The city attorney's office is working on other ways."
Code Enforcement Manager Nimat Shakoor-Grantham said the new process is similar to Antioch's, a fact she researched and passed up the chain of command "many months ago." Until now, often all it took for someone to get water service in Vallejo, was to pay any unpaid bills, she said.
"Squatters have been known to fabricate lease agreements and once they're in, it's hard to get them out, while they're paying the water bill" she said. "I've seen people pull out a huge roll of money to pay back-owed water bills, which tells me that in doing illegal activities, money is no object. Having their name on a water bill lends them legitimacy."
Just because one can't legally live in a place if the water's shut off, doesn't mean some people don't do it, anyway, Shakoor-Grantham said.
"We find places all the time, where feces is piled up two feet out of the toilet," she said. "We're trying to find the link between health and safety codes and getting the police to act."

Warning Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.
Warning In order to comply with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, the antennas for this product should be positioned no less than 6.56 ft (2 m) from your body or nearby persons.
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Safety Information
Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the bridge.
FCC Safety Compliance Statement
The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
Safety Precautions
Warning Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life!
1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance.
2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake.
4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
5. When installing your antenna, remember:
a. Do not use a metal ladder.
b. Do not work on a wet or windy day.
c. Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you!
7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don't touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Bridge Installation
The bridge is available in two configurations:
•Integrated antenna bridge (with 22.5-dBi directional antenna)
•External antenna bridge (with antenna connector for use with an external antenna)
Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna bridge configuration and the external antenna must be professionally installed.
Note When installing the dual-coax cable, it is acceptable to unzip or pull the two cables apart at the ends if more separation is needed between the male F connectors.
Personnel installing the bridge must understand wireless bridging techniques, antenna alignment and adjustment, and grounding methods. The integrated antenna configuration can be installed by an experienced IT professional.
Stacking Bridges
You can double the throughput or create a standby link by stacking two bridges. A stacked installation consists of two bridge systems installed at the same physical location. For detailed mounting instructions refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your bridge.
Note The bridge antennas must be separated by a minimum of 6.56 ft (2 m) from each other and from other co-located antennas.
Important Notes
This section describes important information about the bridge.
Cisco Aironet Software Requires Completion of Encryption Authorization Form
In order to access Cisco Aironet software from the Software Center on Cisco.com, you must now fill out a form to receive authorization to download encrypted software. Registered Cisco.com users are required to fill out the form only once, but public users must do so once each session, each time software is downloaded. A form is automatically created for public users. The form for Registered Cisco.com users is located at the following URL:
Default Encryption Key 2 Is Set by Bridge
The encryption key in slot 2 is the transmit key by default. If you enable WEP with MIC, use the same WEP key as the transmit key in the same key slot on both root and non-root bridges.
Limitation to PAgP Redundancy on Switches Connected by Bridge Links
When two switches configured for Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) are connected by redundant wireless bridge links, the PAgP switchover takes at least 30 seconds, which is too slow to maintain TCP sessions from one port to another.
Power Client n CLI Command Is Not Supported
The bridge does not support the power client n command in the browser or CLI interfaces.bridge(config-if)# power client n(where n is a value of 12, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, or maximum)
The bridge does not perform any action if this command is used.
Default Infrastructure SSID
When VLAN is enabled, the WEP encryption mode and the WEP key are applicable only to a native VLAN. Any SSID configured should have the Infrastructure-SSID parameter enabled for that SSID. With the Infrastructure-SSID parameter enabled, the bridge ensures that a non-native VLAN cannot be assigned to that SSID.
ARP Table Is Corrupted When Multiple BVIs Are Configured
The bridge supports only one bridge virtual interface (BVI). Multiple BVIs should not be configured because the ARP table may become corrupted.
Bridge Power Up LED Colors
During power up the bridge LEDs display the following color sequences:
1. The Install LED is initially turned off.
2. The Install LED turns amber.
3. The Status LED turns amber during the boot loader process.
4. The Ethernet, Status, and Radio LEDs turn green during the loading of the operating system.
5. The Ethernet, Status, and Radio LEDs turn amber during the loop-back test.
6. The Status LED starts to blink green then the Ethernet LED starts to blink green.
7. The Ethernet, Status, and Radio LEDs blink amber twice to indicate that the auto install process has started.
8. During the auto install process, the Ethernet, Status, and Radio LEDs turn off for a short time period then go through a blinking sequence twice. Each LED sequentially blinks at the following rates before becoming continuously amber:
a. Slow blinking rate of 1 blink/second.
b. Medium blinking rate of 2 blinks/second.
c. Fast blinking rate of 4 blinks/second.
9. The Install LED starts to blink amber to indicate that the bridge is searching for a root bridge.
10. When the bridge associates to a root bridge, the Install LED turns amber.
11. When the bridge becomes a root bridge and is waiting for a non-root bridge to associate, the Install LED blinks green.
12. When the root bridge has a non-root bridge associated, the Install LED turns green.
This section lists open caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA2 for the bridge.
Open Caveats
These caveats are open in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA2 for the bridge:
•CSCea28990—Cannot pass IP traffic when the bridge # route IP command is configured.
The bridge # route ip command must not be configured for the bridge groups assigned to non-native VLANS because this setting stops IP traffic across the bridge for those non-native VLANS.
•CSCea57649—The CLI Help command produces incorrect output for the radio interface.
When using the CLI Help command from the radio interface, the command output is repeated multiple times.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCea75989—The non-root bridge does not reset the dot11 association counters when it reassociates to the root bridge.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCea81730—The web interface for the non-root bridge incorrectly displays the root-bridge MAC address on the radio page.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCeb03832—Bridge does not detect some invalid software images when the copy command is used.
Workaround: Use the CLI archive download command.
•CSCeb04390—Bridge does not detect simultaneous software downloads when the copy command is used in different sessions.
Workaround: Use the CLI archive download command.
•CSCeb05054—Multiple non-root bridges do not associate to the root bridge after any configuration changes to the radio interface.
The root bridge in a point-to-multipoint link does not allow non-root bridges to reassociate after configuration changes are made to the radio interface until the root bridge has rebooted (power turned off and on).
Workaround: After changing the radio interface configuration on a point-to-multipoint link, you must reboot the root bridge (turn power off and on).
•CSCeb05835— The web interface shows incorrect STP Root information on a bridge setup with multiple VLANs.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCeb08817—The root bridge cannot ping a non-root bridge after reassociation.
Workaround: Use the CLI clear arp-cache command to clear the root bridge ARP cache.
•CSCeb10911—Linktest reports higher RSSI readings for the remote site.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCeb12740—The virtual ratio connection cannot be made after the station role is changed.
After you change the station role of two bridges while the link is active, the radios get associated but the virtual radio interfaces do not function.
Workaround: After changing the station roles, you must restart both root and non-root bridges using the browser interface (System Software > System Configuration > Restart) or the CLI reload command.
•CSCeb14603—Telnet session locks up under heavy traffic.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCeb15923—Radio firmware recovery does not work reliably.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCeb17296—Clear dot client command does not work with traffic being passed.
When traffic is being passed through the bridges at around 30 to 40 percent CPU utilization, the CLI clear dot client H.H.H command does not clear the counters on the non-root bridge even though the association did clear.
There is no workaround for this problem.
•CSCea77473—HTTP software upgrade with Netscape version 7.x intermittently fails.
When you are upgrading software with Netscape version 7.x, the Web interface cascades through all open Netscape windows. The upgrade intermittently fails or the browser states that the upgrade failed when in fact the upgrade actually worked.
Workaround: Use Netscape version 4.7 or another browser.
Resolved Caveats
These caveats are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA1:
•CSCea02355—RareIP packets no longer cause an input queue wedge.
•CSCdz29724—It is possible to enumerate existing accounts on a 1410 bridge.
•CSCeb49869—Sending a malformed URL to a 1410 bridge can cause the device to reset.
These caveats are resolved in Cisco IOS release 12.2(11)JA2:
•CSCeb67019—CPU Exception Error.
Some units on power up experience a CPU exception error condition that causes the unit to reset. The unit powers up correctly the second time.
•CSCeb67115—Continuous Watch Dog Reset.
Some units continuously reset because of a watch timer race condition.

Broccolini is a natural hybrid between broccoli and Gai Lan or Chinese Kale and since I first found it this Asian vegetable has become more common in U.S. stores. You may also find it called Baby Broccoli, and regular broccoli can also be used in this recipe as well. (I also think you could substitute something like Hoisin Sauce for the Oyster Sauce and use vegetable stock, which would make this a vegan dish.)
(This recipe for Stir-Fried Broccolini with Oyster Sauce was updated with new photos and step-by-step instructions, May 2014.)
Stir-Fried Broccolini with Oyster Sauce and Garlic
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe adapted from The Joy of Cooking.)
1 large bunch broccolini, about 1 pound
1 T peanut oil or vegetable oil
2 tsp. minced garlic (I used minced garlic from a jar)
2 tsp. minced ginger root (I used ground ginger from a jar)
1/2 tsp. Chili Garlic Sauce (optional, it's quite spicy with this added)
1/4 cup chicken stock (or use vegetable stock for vegan version)
3 T oyster sauce, or a bit less (substitute Hoisin Sauce or other vegan stir-fry sauce for vegan version)
4-5 drops toasted sesame oil for drizzling over at the end
Heat wok or large heavy frying pan for 1 minute over high heat, then add peanut oil, and heat 1 minute more, Add garlic, ginger root, and Chili Garlic Sauce if using, and stir-fry 15 seconds. Add the broccolini and stir-fry about 2 minutes more. (Be sure to stir constantly when you're cooking at high heat.)
Add chicken stock (or vegetable stock), cover pan, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook about 3-4 minutes (depending on how crisp you like it.) Uncover the wok and add oyster sauce (or Hoisin Sauce), then cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes more, or until broccolini is bright green and still a little tender-crisp. Drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil and serve immediately.
South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Diet Suggestions:
This dish would be perfect for a side dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet. (Oyster sauce does contain a small amount of sugar, but you're only eating the small amount of sauce that sticks to the broccolini and divided over 4 servings it's not a huge amount of sugar.) This would also be great for most other low-carb diet plans. This would taste great with Sauteed Scallops with Garlic or Parmesan Chicken for Phase One.

what a shame
- Detroit 88, Indiana 79
By STEVE HERMAN, AP Sports Writer
AP - May 19, 9:44 pm EDT
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons are headed back to the Eastern Conference finals, while Reggie Miller is headed into retirement without ever having won a championship ring.
Richard Hamilton scored 28 points and Chauncey Billups added 23 as Detroit beat the Indiana Pacers 88-79 Thursday night, winning their best-of-seven series 4-2. The Pistons will open the conference finals on Monday at Miami.
It was the final game for Miller, the NBA's 12th-leading career scorer, who is retiring after 18 years in the league. He broke out of a shooting slump and led Indiana with 27 points, and his final basket was a 3-pointer with under 2 minutes left to pull Indiana to 82-79.
Hamilton then hit a basket and Billups added two free throws with 26 seconds left before Miller missed a 3-pointer and left the game to a prolonged, standing ovation -- which the Pistons joined in -- as the crowd chanted ``Reg-gie, Reg-gie'' with 16 seconds to go.
At the end of the game, the chant changed to ``One more year.''
Jermaine O'Neal, still bothered by a sore shoulder that sidelined him late in the regular season, added 22 points and 11 rebounds for Indiana.
The Pacers led almost the entire first half and turned back every Detroit rally until two straight baskets by Hamilton put the Pistons ahead early in the fourth quarter. The final score marked the Pistons' biggest lead of the game.
Detroit has won eight consecutive playoff series clinchers over the last three seasons.
The Pacers, hoping to extend Miller's career at least one more game, finally found their shooting touch after being blown out the past two games.
Miller, one of the NBA's great clutch shooters who had been stymied into 38 percent shooting through the first five games of this series, shot 11-of-16 and made four 3-pointers. Reminiscent of past playoff glory, two of his 3-pointers came in a span of 39 seconds late in the second quarter after nine straight points by Billups and a free throw by Hamilton brought the Pistons within 40-37.
Billups dribbled out of bounds for a turnover, and Miller hit one 3-pointer. Seconds later after Billups missed a 3-point attempt and with the Indiana crowd already chanting for Miller, he responded with another 3-pointer to put the Pacers up 46-37.
Indiana had a chance to widen the lead after an offensive foul on Rasheed Wallace, but the Pistons got the ball back when O'Neal missed a shot and Tayshaun Prince scored just ahead of the halftime buzzer.
Detroit got back into the game with two big runs in the third quarter.
The first time, after a rebound basket by Ben Wallace cut Indiana's lead to 48-47, O'Neal, Dale Davis and Miller scored consecutive baskets, and a free throw by Miller on a technical foul against Rasheed Wallace made it 55-47.
The Pacers still led 59-51 before a basket and free throw by Hamilton started an 11-2 run, and two more free throws by Hamilton gave the Pistons their first lead, 62-61. Indiana regained the lead at the end of the period on a dunk by Foster and opened the fourth quarter with a basket by O'Neal and 3-pointer by Anthony Johnson.
The Pistons then scored seven straight points to take the lead for good, denying the Pacers a chance to give Miller a shot at a championship. Indiana's only trip to the NBA Finals was in 2000, when the Pacers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Miller, whose 25,279 points stand 12th in NBA regular-season scoring, finished 18th with 2,972 career playoff points. ... Billups set a Pistons career playoff record for 3-pointers. His 2-for-6 against the Pacers made him 82-for-247 in 48 playoff games with Detroit. Isiah Thomas held the old record of 81-for-234. ... Miller had two assists after totaling just one in the past four games. ... This is the first time in nine playoff series the Pacers have lost after leading 2-1. ... Indy 500 drivers Helio Castroneves, Sam Hornish Jr. and Scott Dixon attended the game.
Your horse is dead, get off it already...
Wow, I can't believe it's over. It just can't be. Y'all, I'm 17 years old, all I've known is "Reggie Miller's Pacers" against everyone. Thank you Reggie, give us one more year, it can't be over...
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

As a member of the Herndon Fortnightly Club, Rooney has held several positions, including chaplain and president. She volunteers and is on the board of directors for The Closet, a nonprofit thrift shop in Herndon that sells donated clothing and household necessities and uses profits to support community programs; it also donates clothing.
Barbara Varon Volunteer Award nominees must reside in Fairfax County, demonstrate an appreciation for the diversity of the community's population; exhibit patriotism; show evidence of having a positive effect on the community; and be known for encouraging others to do the same.
"Louise H. Rooney exemplifies these attributes," said Fairfax County Equity Programs Division Director Martha Villanigro-Santiago. "Her many volunteer activities demonstrate her appreciation for community service and diversity."

What does a cow do when she's bored and craving attention? For one Colorado Holstein, she visits the drive-thru at a local McDonald's, and it's not to order the "McAlfalfa."
According to 9News, employees and customers at the Brush, Colo., McDonald's were treated to the unusual visitor when Darcy became bored. Owner Sandy Winn and her son Zach explained that though Darcy is normally a good cow, when she's bored, she will do anything to get attention – including escaping from her pen.
"She can be stubborn, but she can also be sweet," Zach Winn told a 9News reporter.
The Winns weren't aware of their bovine escapee until police called the family asking if they owned a dairy cow. The dispatcher then informed the family where their beloved Holstein had gone – McDonald's.
Darcy was eventually rounded up and returned to her home, and now she has become the center of attention of media across the country, including The Associated Press.
The family was not fined for Darcy's outing.

Topic: Good news with Gemzar+Cisplatin
My brother just finished his first round of chemo with Gemzar+Cisplatin. He received a 10% reduction in one direction and 16% reduction in the other direction, for a total 25% area reduction. Not sure why they didn't measure the third dimension, but it seems like the volume reduction might be even higher.
His surrounding lymph nodes also went back to normal.
We're not sure how long this we'll keep up, but it made a very nice Christmas present.

A Brief History of the Microscope
Mark Golben, vice president of R&D for Ergenics, showed off a metal-hydride cycle generator developed in part at Texas A&M University.
The system relies on metal-hydride shavings inside the coils of a heat exchanger. Atop the heat exchanger is a hollow piston. When the heat exchanger is cold, the piston stays in a retracted position. When the heat exchanger is dunked in hot water, however, the heat drives hydrogen gas out of the metal shavings and up through the hollow tube of the piston. That, in turn, drives the piston upward. Dunk the heat exchanger in cold water and the hydrogen gas flows back down the tube and back into the metal hydride, causing the piston to retract. Rinse and repeat.
A generator that works on this principle could power a home, Golben says, using water heated by a rooftop solar thermal collector like the kind that power conventional solar hot-water heaters. Valves would cause alternating hot and cold water to flow over the heat exchanger to drive the piston up and down to power a generator.
The team is working on a 5-kilowatt generator as a demonstrator. If all goes well, they will scale up to a system capable of generating 20 kilowatts of power.
Norbert Müller, a mechanical engineering professor at Michigan State University, says his wave-disk engine combines the best features of a gas-generator engine (such as a jet engine) with the internal combustion engine.
According to Müller, nothing's more efficient at generating power than a turbine. However, because it requires a compressor, the typical gas-generator engine is complicated and too expensive for everyday applications such as cars.
The wave-disk engine encloses the turbine, keeping the fuel/air mixture compressed without using a separate compressor. As a bonus, Müller says, the system requires no spark plugs to keep the combustion going—just an initial spark to set it into motion. Müller says his system promises lighter, more efficient engines for use in cars and trucks. He's been at this project for the past dozen years and is seeking funding to get it out of the lab.

Fans of the X-Men and their mutant brethren of the Marvel comics world know that they've been relatively scarce in Hasbro's 3 ¾ inch Marvel Universe line, leaving the X-Men Origins Wolverine line to pick up the slack. Thankfully this is changing with the newest Universe wave (including Jean Grey, Sunfire, Wolverine, and Warpath). One of the most popular mutants is finally making his way to the small action figure world, appearing in not one but two Wolverine products (single and two-pack).

Every Wednesday at 9pm EST, The Mana Knight or myself will host a private game of Call of Duty 4. Getting in is very simple. All you need to do is be on someone's friends list who will be there on Saturday. I am there every Saturday and my list currently has a few spots open, so feel free to send me a friend request if you want to get in.
The only thing that I'd get upset about is if people complain about Juggernaut. I know many people believe that it is a noob perk, but all it does is cancel out stopping power, so please don't bitch about someone using Juggernaut while we are playing.
I personally play this game a lot, so if you ever want to play, just send me a message on the PSN with the title "CoD4" and I will leave my current match and await your invite. Otherwise, I will just ignore it. Sorry.
As I previously said, every Saturday at 9pm EST is CAG night. However, that doesn't have to be exactly how it goes. Here's how I'm hoping it works.
8pm-9pm EST - CAG CoD4 party matches (up to 6 people)
9pm-11pm EST - CAG CoD4 private matches (up to 18 people)
11pm-whenever everyone gets off - CAG CoD4 party matches (up to 9 people)

Princess Diana gave a tabloid editor a directory of royal phone numbers to get back at her then-husband Prince Charles, the former editor said in court Thursday.
Reuters reported that Clive Goodman, the former royal editor of Rupert Murdoch's now defunct British tabloid the News of the World, said the confidential directory — containing numbers of senior members of Britain's royal household — was delivered to the newspaper's offices in 1992, when Diana was reportedly becoming increasingly bitter about her husband.
Goodman is on trial in London for allegedly making illegal payments to police officers to obtain telephone directories of the royal household. He was jailed in 2007 for accessing the voicemails of mobile phones belonging to senior royal aides.
Police reportedly found 15 royal directories at Goodman's home in 2006.
Asked where a "green book" directory dating from 1992 had come from, Goodman told the Old Bailey court: "(It was) provided to us by the Princess of Wales.
"It arrived at the office in an envelope with my name on it," he said, adding that Diana later called him to verify he had received it, according to Reuters.
Charles and Diana separated in December 1992 and divorced in 1996. She was killed the following year in a car crash in Paris.
Goodman testified Diana had a close relationship with several journalists at the time and wanted to use the press as a "powerful" ally against Charles.
"She was, at the time, going through a very tough time," Goodman said. "She told me she wanted me to see this document to see the scale of her husband's staff and household compared to hers. She felt she was in a very bitter situation at the time. She felt she was being swamped by the people close to him and his household. She was looking for an ally to take him on to show the kind of forces ranged against her."
Goodman denied paying for any of the directories or getting them from a public official.

Furcal visits team after season-ending surgery
JUPITER, Fla. -- Six days after undergoing season-ending elbow surgery, shortstop Rafael Furcal returned to the Cardinals' spring complex to visit with teammates on Tuesday.
Furcal, his right arm nestled in a sling, referred to the surgery as successful and noted that Dr. James Andrews found more ligament damage than expected during the procedure. Furcal will not be able to throw or hit for at least four months, he said, but may wait even longer to ensure that his elbow is completely healed.
That's because he doesn't want to jeopardize his chances of being ready to play in 2014.
"I'm going to try to come back," Furcal said. "If my arm feels good, I know my body is going to feel fine because I'll do the same stuff I did in the offseason. This was one of the years my body was in better shape. I felt like I was going to steal 30 bases again because I spent three months working hard."
If all goes as expected, Furcal intends to play winter ball in the Dominican League. Not only will that help him get back into playing shape, but it will allow teams to get a look at what he still has left. Furcal will be 36 by the time he becomes a free agent next winter.
"They know me and they know when I'm healthy what I can do," Furcal said, referring to other clubs. "It's not a surprise. My mind right now is to try to get a good rehab. That's my main thing. I'll get in shape and see what happens. I don't have control."
Furcal said he will do the majority of his rehab work in Miami, where he makes his home. He added that he plans to return to St. Louis during some homestands. The Cardinals would welcome Furcal's presence as often as they can have it.
"He's walking energy," manager Mike Matheny said. "He just walks in and you hear the room explode with different things. He's starts yelling things that we can't hardly understand. He's just life. There's just some people here who can't hide how much they love showing up. Raffy has always been one of those guys who loves what he does. You can't have too many of those guys around."

5. Darden's Dumb Excuse If Darden's ( DRI) CEO thinks the press is out to get him over his Obamacare cutbacks, then, to borrow a phrase from Animal House, "Wait till Otis sees us!" Shares of the restaurant company sank more than 10% on Tuesday after head honcho Clarence Otis lowered financial expectations for both Darden's fiscal second quarter and full year, citing a drop in business at its Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse chains. For its 2013 fiscal year, Darden said it expected earnings of $3.29 to $3.49 per share, significantly down from the company's earlier guidance of $3.76 to $3.90. Prior to Darden's preannouncement, Wall Street's consensus 2013 estimate was $3.88. What's behind the dreary forecast? A lot of things, according to Otis, including promotions that did not "resonate with financially stretched consumers," Hurricane Sandy hitting East coast locations and the purchase of Yard House restaurants. To be honest, had Otis stopped there, we would have let him slide. Darden's been such a serial outperformer over the past decade that we would have been perfectly willing to overlook even a massive earnings whiff like this one. But then, like Brother Bluto in the Faber College cafeteria, he started a food fight, taking aim squarely at overeducated, underpaid ink-stained wretches like us. And, as a result, we just had to respond. Otis proceeded to blame the company's less-than-stellar results and cautious outlook on "negative media coverage that focused on Darden ... and how we might accommodate health-care reform." Negative media coverage? Come on, Clarence, get some clarity. We remember the hullabaloo this past fall when you tested plans to put more workers on part-time schedules to lessen the impact of the president's health-care plan. And we understand it's a serious issue for a chain that has more than 2,000 restaurants and 185,000 employees. Nevertheless, you can't pin your Obamacare problems on us! We didn't keep people from eating at your restaurants. It's the Olive Garden's menu, not a muckraking media that's your biggest problem. On a positive note, at least Otis didn't blame the fiscal cliff for his company's woes like Pandora's ( P) CEO did this week. If that guy really believes that the government's budget squabbles are keeping kids from listening to Taylor Swift on his online radio station, then he's not too swift himself. Or, as the boys in Delta House might say, he's one Shama Lama Ding Dong!

Rights Groups Urge End to Ill-Treatment in Turkey\'s New Jails
Two leading human rights organizations expressed concern Saturday over reports of torture or ill-treatment of prisoners in Turkey's controversial new jails and called on Ankara to treat its inmates humanely.
In a statement received here, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW) urged "immediate reforms to the Turkish penal system" after researchers from both groups interviewed prisoners' relatives and doctors and lawyers with access to the new jails, who spoke of maltreatment.
"These sources consistently indicate that the prisoners were beaten and some tortured before, during and after the transfers to the new prisons," the statement said.
"The Turkish government is accountable and must put an immediate stop to these abuses," it added.
The new prisons, commonly known as F-types, went into service last month when paramilitary troops stormed 20 jails across Turkey to end a hunger strike by left-wing inmates against the new institutions.
The prisoners are fiercely opposed to the F-type jails -- where old-style large dormitories are replaced with cells that hold up to three people -- on the grounds that they will be more vulnerable to maltreatment and torture when isolated in smaller units.
Turkey's four-day operation ended with some 30 prisoners dead, most of whom burned themselves to death, and two soldiers, while hundreds of inmates were hastily dispatched into three of the new prisons.
Saturday's statement said that there were also reports of prisoners being prevented from associating with other prisoners or taking part in recreational or sports activities.
"Many prisoners have gone without human contact for days, apart from roll-calls which were frequently accompanied by violence," it said.
The statement added that despite appeals, Amensty International and HRW researchers were denied talks with the Turkish justice ministry or access to the prisons.
Both groups called on Ankara to allow lawyers and independent doctors into the new jails to investigate torture claims and for the regime of solitary isolation to be lifted.
They also appealed for broad access to members of medical and human rights organizations into the institutionas to ensure that they are run in accordance Turkish law and international standards for the humane treatment of prisoners.
"The groups also urge the Council of Europe with its expertise in the area of prison management to take an active interest," the statement said.
Turkey's Justice Minister Hikmet sami Turk denied last week similar claims by a Turkish human rights association that prisoners in F-type jails were "beaten... regularly tortured... raped with truncheons and urinated on".
But despite the massive clampdown on the striking prisoners, some 350 inmates are continuing a hunger-strike over the new jails, while over 1,600 others are fasting in solidarity -- ANKARA (AFP)

Stanley secure late leveller
10:10pm Friday 18th April 2014
10:10pm Friday 18th April 2014
Mansfield Town must be sick of the sight of Kal Naismith. After scoring twice in a 3-2 win at Field Mill in December, the Scot popped up with another stoppage time strike to deny the Stags a win at the Store First Stadium.
Naismith kept his cool to despatch a 94th minute penalty and cancel out a Jake Speight goal to give Stanley a share of the spoils.
A tight game between two wholehearted sides with contrasting styles saw opportunities for both teams with Martin Riley nodding over early on for the visitors before Lee Molyneux was first denied a penalty and then thwarted by a last ditch tackle at the other end.
Mansfield goalkeeper Lewis Price made the first meaningful save of the game, getting down well to block a low Shay McCartan drive with his legs just past the half hour mark.
But Marcus Bettinelli was required to reply in kind, turning an Oliver Palmer shot round the post before blocking excellently from Matt Rhead.
Price made it two fine saves apiece before the break when he prevented Peter Murphy from netting his 10th goal of the season.
The Stanley midfielder flicked the ball into the air and smashed it goalwards with his left foot forcing the on loan goalkeeper to turn the ball over the bar at full stretch.
The second half continued in a similar vein with Mansfield's direct style bring them some joy and Stanley trying to get the ball down and play. Adam Murray shot wide and Riley headed off target either side of Price keeping out a strike from Will Hatfield.
Buoyed by a late goal at York Shay McCartan headed a corner over at the near post before visiting sub Sam Clucas shot into the side netting.
Another one of Paul Cox's subs, Speight, then had the ball in the net but saw the effort ruled out for offside.
Moments later there was no such reprieve. Clucas can take much of the credit for the goal, beating two men on the right and crossing for Speight to smash home from six yards.
Stanley battled for a way back into the game but could only muster a free kick wide from Luke Joyce and an effort scuffed off target by Naismith following his introduction in place of Hatfield.
They were handed a reprieve when a blocked clearance flew beyond a stranded Bettinelli and struck the base of the post and when four minutes of stoppage time went up there was hope around the ground of another late show.
Auxiliary centre forward Tom Aldred flicked the ball over his own head into the box with time disappearing and James Gray was clear favourite to get their first only to be stopped by an errant Mansfield arm.
Referee Richard Clark pointed to the spot and despite a lengthy delay Naismith was calmness personified to stroke home his 10th goal of the season.
Unlike in the corresponding fixture earlier in the season the Reds couldn't manage a winner in the dying seconds but Naismith's key contribution ensured they banked another point into their safety total.

Pena makes impression on Yost, Royals
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Francisco Pena was a smash success right to the end.
Pena belted a home run with two outs in the ninth inning on Friday to salvage a 9-9 tie with the A's for the Royals. A few minutes later Pena was in manager Ned Yost's office being told he'd been optioned to Triple-A Omaha.
The move pointed to veteran Brett Hayes as the likely backup catcher for Salvador Perez. The only other two catchers in camp are Adam Moore and Ramon Hernandez, both non-roster players, and Hernandez hasn't caught at all yet because of a sore knee.
Also optioned to Omaha were second baseman/shortstop Christian Colon and pitcher Michael Mariot.
Pena, son of former Royals manager Tony Pena, was signed after seven years in the Mets' Minor League system.
"I'm really proud of him," Yost said, noting that Pena came into camp with two goals.
"One was to make the team and the other thing was to come in here and really make a great impression, new to the organization, and he did," Yost said. "He made a phenomenal impression on all of us. He can catch, he can throw, he can swing the bat. Some of those blocks he made today were as good of blocks as you're going to see in a big league game.
"He's such a wonderful young man, he's got a great personality, he's got a great work ethic and he established that. He wanted to come in here and make a favorable good first impression and he did that. So we're really pleased and glad he's with us."
That wasn't the only awkward cut of the afternoon for Yost. Because starting pitcher Danny Duffy had a short outing, Mariot had to be rushed in to pitch the third inning instead of being used late in the game as planned. As a result, Mariot got his Omaha news early.
"So I had to tell him in the dugout," Yost said. "So that was extremely awkward, too. But I didn't want him coming up here [to the clubhouse] and waiting for 2 1/2 hours waiting for me to come up here, knowing what it was going to be about."
Mariot, a right-hander, was still hopeful of competing for the seventh and last slot in the bullpen. He gave up three hits and a run in his one inning on Friday.
Colon was one of the infielders seeking a backup job. He had an RBI single in his final at-bat on Friday, finishing at .296 (8-for-27).

Drug Prohibition and Violence
With prohibition inevitably comes violence, because competitors in an unregulated market have no legal recourse to resolve disputes. Rather than proposing specific policies for increasing prevention and treatment services to directly impact drug use in the United States, the federal government's approach to the alarming drug trade-related violence along the U.S.-Mexican border has been to pour more money into law enforcement crackdowns on cartels and efforts to intercept drug shipments coming from Mexico. Throughout the drug war's history, these kinds of supply-side interventions have consistently failed to reduce violence. They have instead made the illicit drug market more profitable, more competitive and more dangerous.
The only way to dramatically reduce drug trade-related violence is to end prohibition. DPA is developing public health alternatives to prohibition, including increased treatment availability and better drug education, that would help reduce the demand for drugs and minimize the influence of violent cartels. The United States needs to abandon its criminal justice-based drug policy model to have any hope of quelling drug war violence at home or abroad.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Aside from getting to see some friends he made off the field, Fire winger Dilly Duka is treating his first return to Columbus Saturday as just another game.
"All-in-all its just another game and an important one at that," he told Chicago-Fire.com Friday. "We really need three points and we're playing an Eastern Conference opponent."
That answer may not have been the same a few months ago as it appeared the Crew were the early winners of the swap that sent Dominic Oduro to the yellow-clad side in exchange for the former U.S. youth international.
The Ghanaian striker got off to a hot start, amassing five goals in his first 11 appearances for the Crew while Duka dealt with injuries and came off the bench for the Men in Red.
READ: Oduro remains key to Crew attack
Duka earns penalty vs. Colorado
The wild card in the deal was of course the rights to Robbie Rogers, which finally came good when the U.S. international decided he wanted to return to MLS with the LA Galaxy.
The Fire swiftly shifted his rights out west and received Chicago native Mike Magee in exchange last month.
Magee's exploits for the Fire have been record-breaking as the 28-year-old forward has become the first player in club history to tally a goal in each of his first five competitive appearances.
Duka's rise hasn't been quite as statistical but the young midfielder has strung together a number of impressive performances peaking with his display in Wednesday 2-1 victory over Colorado in which he earned the equalizing first half penalty kick for the Men in Red.
"The penalty happened with me taking a risk in the final third and I tried to beat my man.
"I went into the box and I was fortunate enough to hit the ball off Marvell [Wynne's] hand and it was just a good move all-in-all because it caused the penalty and we ended up tying the game at a crucial point."
Magee's penanka take on the penalty had people wooing (WATCH) but asked about the spot kick post game, he directed all the credit to Duka.
"The only thing you need to know about the goal is Dilly," said Magee post-game.
"He did incredible to beat his guy, then he's going one on one with Marvell Wynne which is usually a pretty daunting task. He went at him and its all thanks to him. The finish was just pretty simple."
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner with Mike Matkovich
With that early February trade coming full-circle about a month ago, the early judgment that the Crew got the better of the deal is at the very least debatable.
The Fire now have two starters playing well, with Magee already leading the team in goals while Duka has come into his own of late.
Maybe its athlete-speak but Duka says he hasn't put too much time into thinking about the deal that brought himself and eventually Magee to Chicago.
"I'm just happy to be here and I think Mike is too," he said. "He's contributed a lot which is good for him and the team. Dom is a good guy. A lot of my friends in Columbus like him a lot. I think they have a happy player there and we have two happy players here in Chicago."
