Is Minnesota taking the right approach to medical marijuana?
Jon Gordon May 6, 2015, 6:23 AM May 6, 2015
About 40 minutes northwest of downtown Minneapolis, there's a well-guarded greenhouse brimming with marijuana plants. Minnesota Medical Solutions, one of two manufacturers picked by the state to produce medical cannabis, will turn the plants into pills, oils and sprays for patients who qualify for a prescription — only smoke-free derivatives of marijuana are allowed by law. The company's first dispensary is set to open July 1.
Today's Question: Is Minnesota taking the right approach to medical marijuana?

No. We should do like Washington and Colorado: legalize and tax it. The prohibition of a relatively harmless substance causes more problems than it solves. Save prohibition for truly dangerous drugs like meth and heroin.

Well, I was sceptical at first, but I got ahold of some of this "Minnesota Nice" and tried some this morning. At 6AM I took the pill and then at 6:45 I rubbed some of the oil on, and finally at 7:15 I started spraying into various likely spots and nothing much happened except….hey…did you ever notice Jon Gordon looks kinda like a little shroom in that picture…and that he moves….like reeeaal slooow…and like he talks to you…like subliminally…..and it's like he's saying doooonate …dooonaate ..dooonate to mprrrr…over and over in this voice that's like…..sorry, what was the question again?
a_tribe_called_chris
Apparently the MN Nice you had must have been a prescription narcotic with those effects…
Actually I got it from a guy on the corner. Said he was an MD and a scrip would just be extra paperwork but assured me it was the stuff in the picture. Think I'll go and see if he's still out there…
Sounds pretty potent…lol
If people only knew…
Uh-oh. As soon as I stopped staring at Jon Gordon's picture everything was back to abnormal. Damn! Placebo effect again. Another $50 down the drain. And three weeks til the end of the month. Damn it all anyway. Looks like it's back to nutmeg and banana peels for a while.
You got drunk?
Probably. This might be a project that we should proceed with caution and let other states suffer the learning curve.
Legalize for normal use? With legalizing, I would predict an increase in use. Our country already has the lowest labor participation rate in years and a climbing rate of obesity
And because people like to avoid taxes(imagine that), Colorado is bringing in 25% less in taxes than what they expected because the black market hasn't gone away.
I don't mean to sound disrespectful but increased use wouldn't
necessarily mean a lower rate of participation in the labor pool. You may be
surprised but there are many productive employees who relax with cannabis on
the weekends. True, some will abuse it but we currently have people that abuse
alcohol and that can literally kill you.
Colorado has data showing that most users are occasional but
the majority of sales are coming from the population of heavy users.
Legalization most likely did not contribute to someone's usage increasing to
that of a daily event. It would be difficult to find measures that would track
the increase of usage amongst the state's residents since they have seen an
increase in tourism associated with legalization.
Another great impact has been there has yet to be a failed
compliance check for underage sales in Colorado through licensed distribution
channels.
As far as tax revenues go, they may not have captured as
much as they thought but on the contrary they have enough that the citizens
will be voting to increase their tax rebates under the TaBOR act in the state. Don't
forget the savings due to a change in Law Enforcement focus either.
I realize legalization may not be a utopia but the War on
Drugs has failed and done so miserably.
None of the assumptions you've mentioned has happened in Washington State where I live. We legalized medical marijuana in 1998 and legalized recreational use in 2012. Use rates have not risen, Seattle is still a cosmopolitan boom town wit the hardest workers in the country. Violent crime is half that of Minneapolis, businesses and downtown thrives. Obesity rates for marijuana users are far less than for the general American population and schools are currently being built in WA State with marijuana tax revenue. It's time for you to educate yourself before speaking or writing about your baseless assumptions.

Time we stop playing political games and just legalise it.
Not Really. This law would have been alright in the 90's. I am at the point where full legalization for adults just makes more sense.
In terms of harm reduction and fiscal sense, cannabis is
significantly safer than alcohol and tobacco. Colorado and Washington, 2 states
that we are essentially in competition with when looking at peer metros, have
pretty good systems in place to control and regulate it. Minnesota continues to
waste close to $100 Million a year on our enforcement efforts that does not
benefit anyone except law enforcement and treatment providers.
Enough is enough.
In closing, I will say that the program is better than
nothing but still pretty much garbage. Pain and PTSD should be included.
Welcome to the 1990's Minnesota! How "progressive" of you to finally join us, well sort of finally join us…
Your friends on the Best Coast
Hi Gary. It's raining here too.
The utterly failed policy of marijuana Prohibition and the discriminatory laws that underpin it have been far more deleterious to the individual and society than marijuana itself ever has been or ever will be. It's time for Minnesota to get its head out of the sand and legalize, tax and regulate this market. I can assure you as a resident of Seattle that also owns a home in St Paul, it is far better to have adults 21 and up be able to stroll into a store and buy legal reefer in a storefront (especially vaporized oils and edibles) than it is to have petty dealers selling it on every street corner, behind every house as is currently happening in the twin cities. The war on marijuana is a failed conservative policy from yesteryear. It needs to go in favor of a more thoughtful educated, legal, taxed and regulated system.
I am so grateful that the state of MN see's fit to allow politicians and law enforcement come between the patient and their physician. Seems more like paternalism doesn't it? /snark/
Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called…
It's time to end the war on marijuana in Minnesota. Legalize it, tax it, regulate it!!

Move forward and legalize it already….America stop making Cannabis a dirty moral Issue. Move forward Humans it is now 2015.
Gallagher for House
Minnesota has perhaps the most restrictive and limited medical marijuana law in the United States today. Though now in a poor minority of states, once we led the nation, including in individual liberty and freedom. Minnesota's medical marijuana law should be expanded to allow everyone with a legitimate medical use for marijuana to be able to legally and affordably use and possess it. This would include plant-form marijuana as well as home-grow for patients, caregivers, and patient-caregiver coops.
As with any mood altering substance, humans will acquire it and use it whether it is legal or not. However, making something legal gives it a type of public approval and suggests it is OK to use. This gives our children the idea that it is something that is OK to use and makes them more likely to think they should be able to use that substance (alcohol, cigarettes, etc.).
Unfortunately, cannabis has been shown to inhibit frontal lobe brain development in children and adolescents and this effect can be permanent. So there will still be a black market, illegal sales, criminal penalties and children getting hurt by their use of this substance, just as they are by tobacco and alcohol.
I'm not saying that criminalizing marijuana is the answer – that just leads to more problems than it solves. Medical uses should be supported and use by adults should not be a criminal offense. I do hope we can keep the science in mind when the debate for legalization heats up in Minnesota and make sure the protections for potential underage users are strong and clear, with heavy penalties for those supplying children and adolescents.
I think you offered a good perspective.
They have been using marijuana in places like California for almost 20 years now. There hasn't been much when it's come to the side effects/consequences when it's come to marijuana use. While everything we put into our bodies have an effect on our system, I find marijuana to be a more trustworthy product than the pills that pharma likes to push on you. How often do you hear about a person going on a killing spree while on marijuana compared to some type of anti-depressant.
Full legalization would also bring a boom to our economy with many new jobs and types of business being available. We could tax the recreational at the same rate as alcohol, have a lower rate for medical, and an even lower rate for the industrial marijuana. Figure in the savings from the police dealing with this, along with court and incarceration, and we would be rolling in the dollars. The benefits just seem to outweigh the consequences.

ummmm, Horsefeathers. Here's 15,000+ studies to review.
Yanotha Twangai
The sectors most opposed to legalizing cannabis are these:
— law enforcement and prison guard unions, who see it as job security;
— big pharma, which fears competition from non-patentable medicine;
— the alcoholic beverage industry, which fears users will switch;
— the tobacco industry, likewise;
— white racists who really like the "new Jim Crow" effect of current laws;
— big employers, who like having lots of workers with blots on their records whom they can pay lower wages because it's harder for them to find work elsewhere.
Am I forgetting anyone?
Oh, yes. I forgot the biggest one: organized crime.
Comprehensive study done recently in BC shows that a mere 5% of "grow ops" are linked to "organized crime". There's a joke: "If you have ever tried to buy a pound of cannabis, organized is the LAST thing you can call these people."
Maybe not the grow ops, but certainly the dealers are dominated by organized crime gangs.
95% of the "dealers" are independent business people providing a product that the corrupt governments rule as illegal. Officials protecting their bribes, prison corporations "generating" prisoners, police stealing from citizens…. at gunpoint. The truly organized gangs.
The war on drugs has been hugely successful. It has provided lucrative employment for tens of thousands of gangsters who otherwise would have had to settle for ordinary jobs. It's kept sales of small arms and ammunition buoyant even through the recession. And it provides plenty of opportunities for morally lax public servants to benefit through bribes and kick-backs. You just have to redefine what you mean by "success."
"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure." SLC
I assume you are speaking of law enforcement. "Prohibition creates corruption at all levels of government." U.N. report 1993
Corrupt politicians.
How do corrupt politicians benefit? I get how corrupt cops and judges might use prohibition to extort bribes, and I get that folks seeking elective office might use the issue for demagoguery (but that goes both ways, for and against), but not now an elected official might profit from it.
Lobby groups, donations from private prison corporations, bribery, collusion and personal financial interests. Examine stock holdings, for example. Largest $upporters of the Drug War are pharmaceutical companies…. according to the numbers.
It is the same approach Minnesota takes to everything; obfuscate to legitimize the yammering for which the advertisers pay, and then legislate from some backroom. Of course getting a 'straight' answer on this subject might be unrealistic.
This law in terrible and ripe with corruption. You have the Governor who figures that this is a compromise between him and the pro-marijuana constituents (which it's nowhere near). Then you Bachman who had already purchased land for their facility months before they make the announcement of who would be allowed to grow the plants and manufacture the oils and pills. Gee, that doesn't stink of corruption at all. Followed by the few places in the state that will be allowed to distribute the oils and pills, which some people may have to drive a long distance to get. This law was created to make a select few rich while keeping the police happy and funded through marijuana busts and confiscation of property.

When a loved one is in pain, wasting away unable to eat, and needs this marvelous herb in order to increase their appetite, reduce the overwhelming pain, and live as as healthy and happily as they can with the time they have left, let's have the compassion to allow them to have it.
Stop treating Medical Marijuana Patients like second rate citizens and common criminals by forcing them to the dangerous black market for their medicine.
Risking incarceration to obtain the medicine you need is no way to be forced to live.
Support Medical Marijuana Now!

Fear of Medical Marijuana Legalization is unfounded. Not based on any science or fact whatsoever.
So please, all prohibitionists, we beg you, give your scare tactics, "Conspiracy Theories" and "Doomsday Scenarios" over the inevitable Legalization of Medical Marijuana a rest. Nobody is buying them anymore these days. Okay?
Furthermore, if all prohibitionists get when they look into that nice, big and shiny crystal ball of theirs, while wondering about the future of Medical Marijuana Legalization Nationwide, is horror, doom, and despair, well then I suggest they return that thing as quickly as possible and reclaim the money they shelled out for it, since it's obviously defective.
The prohibition of marijuana has not decreased the supply nor the demand for medical marijuana at all. Not one single iota, and it never will. Just a huge and complete waste of our tax dollars to continue criminalizing sick patients and senior citizens in pain for choosing a natural, non-toxic, relatively benign plant proven to be much safer than daily handfuls of deadly, toxic, man-made, highly addictive, narcotic pain pills and other pharmaceuticals.
If prohibitionists are going to take it upon themselves to worry about "saving us all" from ourselves, then they need to start with the drug that causes more death and destruction than every other drug in the world COMBINED, which is alcohol!
Why do prohibitionists feel the continued need to vilify and demonize marijuana when they could more wisely focus their efforts on a real, proven killer, alcohol, which again causes more destruction, violence, and death than all other drugs, COMBINED?
Prohibitionists really should get their priorities straight and or practice a little live and let live. They'll live longer, happier, and healthier, with a lot less stress if they refrain from being bent on trying to control others through Draconian Marijuana Laws.
Who's to say what the "right approach" to medical marijuana is. We've taken a step forward and that's good. I don't think our Representatives and Senators are qualified to make medical decisions for us, the citizens, in this instance or in any other instance. I think that's up to the medical experts and scientists who have studied this issue. When dealing with kids I believe oversight by their medical specialists is the right approach. For adults I think it should be legalized across the board. Talk to your doctor if you think it would be detrimental to you. Let's face it, there are a LOT of boomers out there who are still smoking it and have no problems with their professional lives. I know some 70 somethings that swear by it for their arthritis.

I suffer from a rare neurological disease which causes me tremendous chronic pain. I am now prescribed several types of narcotics. I would prefer to deal with my pain in a more natural way one, because it works and two, because there are no side effects.
My doctor has no problem with me exploring marijuana on my own. However, the "pain team" that is in charge of my case is not okay with it. They adhere strictly to the federal law and conduct random UA's to check for any marijuana use.
If nothing else, I believe treatment should be between a patient and their doctor. But due to strict federal laws regarding narcotics and other medications, more and more hospitals are using these pain teams to cover their butts.
We need to expand the limited medical use put forward by Gov. Dayton for the use of marijuana and the methods of delivery or preferably, just legalize it already.
Katarina Zora
Marijuana, or cannabis, is a plant that comes from a seed. The right approach is to let people put seeds in the Earth without prohibition. That's what seeds were designed for. Anything else is an unbalanced agenda.
Unless the seeds come from Roundup Ready crops, of course.
Marty Super
When the bill was first introduced it was a fair and a good start but the bill that was passed will not work for most ill people, we should just make it legal and treat it like beer, the war on marijuana has not worked, more people use it now, the cartels make billions the banks launder the money the police use it to seize cash the prisons use those convicted as slave labor all on the backs of the poor.
Hell no. THe Governor capitulated to the police federation, who have a slight conflict of interest. I prefer elected officials deciding on policy issues, not the police, which as well have all witnessed as of late, only look out for their own self-interests. While I agree it's a start, it could have been so much more – in the tradition of our progressive politics over the decades.
joniw
He didn't capitulate, he embraced it because as a former stoner (10 years) self admitted he couldn't wrap his head around it as medical. He didn't understand that sick people don't abuse it and do use it as medicine. He couldn't wrap his head around the stoner idea of selling half your bag so you could use for free.
Personally, I wonder why the United States of America can't come together on more important issues (like our public educational system; racial tensions that SHOULD be just about gone by now; what to do with 11 million illegal aliens; what to do about stagnant wages and declining jobs; why we can't allow gay people to marry legally; rising, unabated U.S. debt and people's unwillingness to pay taxes to help that subside; gang and gun violence; you get the picture) but JUST CAN'T WAIT to get high from marijuana. If we've become sooooooo powerless as Americans to turn this country's hope for a new life into a real new life that the only way to hide our powerlessness is to smoke weed and teach our children how to smoke weed, then this country ISN'T a great nation anymore. My God. We honestly should have HIGHER goals AS AMERICANS USED TO HAVE than bud. I guarantee you this; our forefathers were far from perfect (Indian killers, slave holders, anti-Irish and Chinese immigrant expressers, we know this already), but they didn't reach for the nearest weed they could find while the country's future stared them in the face. Conservatives are right – morality has been lost; but it hasn't been lost because people are too dependent on the government or the government is too involved in our daily affairs or because we aren't taking a daily walk with the Christian Bible. It has been lost because the only thing we Americans seem to look forward to is the next high.

I would have given everything I had to see my daughter smile even if it was from a cannabis euphoria. big whoop it made her feel good. I'd have rather saved her life by killing her cancer.

Alex Fawly
As a matter of fact, no. Much too slow, with our diverse demographics, and medical necessities we need full legalization. Recreationally and medicinally. With a tax surplus in the billions and a decriminalization of 30% of our population, we need it now. Not an inch at a time.
In every aspect of the law that passed, it was set up to fail. The price is prohibitive. at 55 dollars a gram, it would take over 1500 dollars a month for an ounce worth of oil, and an estimated 88,000 people were "left out" of being eligible to participate. Initial contact with doctors has been negative and I have yet to find one doctor willing to sign off. as well as the costs associated with the reporting to MDH. Patients have to resubmit requests to the MDH EVERY month to obtain medication. How ridiculous is that! Clinics associated with big name health organizations have all currently said no, they will not allow their physicians to participate in the program. Can you blame them with the big pharmaceutical companies lining their waiting rooms on a daily basis? You have to give up your health rights (hipaa) to participate in the program. I certainly hope that the Manufacturers that were selected have a clause in which they can sue the state for setting them up for failure once it becomes obvious and apparent that is exactly what they did. I truly understand now why other states fight so hard for full legalization after the hoops and b.s. medical patients are forced to endure just to get an plant medicine that will help them. Because of the penalties included in the law, it is less risky to not join the program for any adult who needs it. and illegal use is far cheaper and less invasive then minnesota's program. Being one of the Advocates that fought for a decent medical marijuana law, it is shameful what lengths Dayton went to to keep the medicine from those who would need it. I was in the room at his mansion when he told us he had used marijuana throughout his college years (a decade). I was there when he told all of us that it was cheaper and easy to get it off the street, and the mom's of epileptic children could just go to florida, because there were no fences or guard dogs on the borders. I find it insulting and shameful that he could use it in his privileged life as long as he wanted to without facing either the criminal or societal consequences, and yet has the audacity to tell us that we can't use it for medical reasons because we must be lying and want to sell it. Just because he did it that way doesn't make it right. How many mom's did he run to the rescue for when they got caught doing what he did? Angela Brown comes to mind and he did nothing. How many college kids in Minnesota have faced arrest, and the loss of their privileges after doing exactly what the Governor did…???? How many did he give a pass too so that they could go on to sit in his office someday. He is a hypocrite. We (the advocates) have lost two of the children whose parents fought hard for a decent law to pass. Those children would have been able to procure medicine immediately had the senate bill passed into law. It is unjustifiable that they died without help. There are currently 3 more children in the hospital, and two more children who didn't make the cut in his law. Children who would benefit but instead suffer. Two children I have learned to love from seeing them both at the capitol, and one too sick to go there. In Governor Dayton's world they are expendable. Not in mine or the people that love them, and that doesn't even account for the 88,000 that he told to shove it, they weren't worth a peep. The law was broken and a sham before he ever put the ink to the paper and must be changed in order to allow all the sick and dying people of minnesota access to it without subordinating their hipaa act rights. I personally find it very difficult to weigh his current recovery from alcohol and drug abuse giving him any credibility to being the person who decides cannabis as medicine for any ill person in minnesota. but that's just my humble opinion.

Why Istanbul's new mayor could be a threat to Turkish President Erdogan
By Tuvan Gumrukcu, Orhan Coskun and Jonathan Spicer	Reuters
In Istanbul, Turkey, the main opposition party's mayoral candidate, Ekrem Imamoglu, has defeated an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. As Redmond Shannon reports, this election result is one of the biggest blows to Erdoğan and his ruling party in nearly two decades.
Istanbul's new mayor now shoulders the expectations of Turkey's long-subdued opposition after he emerged from obscurity to deal President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the biggest election blow of his career.
Ekrem Imamoglu of the Republican People's Party (CHP) won a decisive victory on Sunday, his second in three months after authorities annulled an earlier vote. His first task is to take the reins from Erdogan's AK Party which, along with its Islamist predecessor parties, has run the city for 25 years.
But after winning over some AKP voters and increasing his initial razor-thin victory margin 60 times, Imamoglu's back-to-back victories have led to talk that he could use Istanbul as a platform to challenge Turkey's all-powerful president.
Erdogan himself served as mayor of Turkey's largest city before launching onto the national stage to become the country's dominant political leader. The months-long controversy over the re-run municipal election has already earned Imamoglu recognition well beyond Istanbul.
His inclusive campaign contrasted with the combative and confrontational AKP rallies, and as a practicing Muslim representing a traditionally secularist party, he has also blurred the sharp dividing lines of Turkey's polarized politics.
READ MORE: Opposition candidate repeats win in high-stakes Istanbul mayoral election
So far Imamoglu, 49, has dismissed rumours that his victory could prompt a presidential bid, saying he is focused on the five-year mayoral term ahead of him. Officials from the CHP have also said such an issue was not on their agenda.
"It would not be right of us to say that he has a certain plan for the future," Suleyman Celebi, a CHP lawmaker in Istanbul who worked on Imamoglu's campaign told Reuters.
"We must not be in a position where we say that we earned a victory and are therefore seeking something else at this stage."
However, a victory speech to hundreds of thousands of supporters on Sunday night was seen by some as a prelude to a potential presidential bid by Erdogan's chief antagonist.
"I am calling to all my citizens: Yes, I am a project. I am a project of the Republic, of the Republic of Ataturk," Imamoglu said, referring to the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. "Partisanship is over now. There is merit and ethics, rights, law and justice from now on."
Power struggle
Translating victory in a single city onto the national political map would put Imamoglu up against a giant of modern Turkish politics who – despite recent setbacks – has still triumphed in more than a dozen elections since 2002.
"The key question is whether the Erdogan administration moves on and focuses on urgently required economic reforms or intensifies efforts to prevent Imamoglu from using his mayorship to build a much stronger political momentum to challenge Erdogan and the AKP for power in the 2023 parliamentary and presidential elections," said Michael Every, senior strategist at Rabobank.
WATCH: Tens of thousands celebrate as opposition wins big in Istanbul
Some of Imamoglu's opponents, who believe his ultimate ambition goes beyond Istanbul, say he would be over-reaching if he tries to challenge Erdogan.
"From the image he's built, Imamoglu does not appear to be aiming to remain a mayor," said a senior AKP official who declined to be named. "He will probably try to continue his political career with a presidential bid. Efforts on that front will be very difficult for him."
He already faces significant challenges in Istanbul, where he will have to tackle the possibility of years of friction between the presidency and the country's commercial hub.
With the AKP holding the majority of seats in the municipal council as well as overall control of the country, Erdogan has said Imamoglu may not be able to carry out his plans.
"It won't be that easy for him to work as mayor," the AKP official said. "There will be difficulties stemming from the fact that he's not from the same party as the central government."
The CHP said any efforts to shackle Imamoglu may backfire on the AKP, given that one of Imamoglu's first acts in his 18 days in office before his first mandate was annulled was to broadcast all municipal council sessions live on social media.
"Let them go ahead and oppose these (projects) and block something that will benefit the people. When they do such a thing, the place they will fall to politically will be very negative," CHP Deputy Chairman Oguz Kaan Salici told Reuters.
Wave of hope
Yet Imamoglu, a former businessman and mayor of an Istanbul district, is riding a wave of hope for an opposition that has suffered years of defeat and disappointment.
With his upbeat slogan – "Everything will be great" – he energized supporters and attracted voters beyond his party's core constituency.
On election night Imamoglu addressed Erdogan directly to say he is ready to work "in harmony" with the president to solve Istanbul's problems, which range from concerns over millions of Syrian refugees to a traffic deadlock.
If Imamoglu aims to keep the path to a 2023 presidential run open, he will have to keep doors open to other parties. In Istanbul, his party ran in alliance with the breakaway Iyi Party nationalists and possibly had decisive help from the pro-Kurdish HDP party which did not field a candidate.
Those arrangements would be tough to replicate nationally, but Imamoglu showed on Sunday he can break down party divisions, attracting about 4% of those who voted for his AKP rival in March, based on the results and polling by Istanbul Economics.
"Those who used the language of love, a positive rhetoric and approached everyone without discrimination won," CHP Deputy Chairman Muharrem Erkek told Reuters.
"Hope and love won this process. Mr. Imamoglu represents the future."

Ukrainian National Movement
KONTSEVYCH, Yevhen Vasylyovych
(b. 05.06 1935, village Mlynyshche, Zhytomyr region
Writer, translator, dissident, "symbol and legend of the generation of Shestydesyatnyky [Sixties activists]." (Ivan Dziuba)
Escaping from famine, Kontsevych's family in 1947 moved to Zhytomyr. His father, covering the windows, secretly earned extra money on his sewing machine for which he was persecuted as a "private business" – his son remembered the search carried out in 1949. He also experienced himself the contempt of the "city" Russian-speaking children of his age to his "village" language. This was to be the basis for the formation of his national consciousness.
In 1952 Yevhen, then 9 years old, diving into a river, severely damaged his spine. From that time he was unable to walk, and has always had first group disability status. It was only with incredible effort that the young lad held on to life and found his place in it.
He was not planning to become a writer, but fate caused him to meet with Vasylko Khomychevsky, the son of the brilliant translator of ancient literature, Boris Ten, with the brothers Valery and Anatoly Shevchuk, and in 1963 with I. SVITLYCHNY, and he found a whole world of literature opening before him. He first began writing at this time. His stories were published in the newspaper "Literaturna Ukraina" ["Literary Ukraine"], in the journals "Vitchyzna" ["Homeland"], "Dnipro" ["Dniepr"], "Ukraina" and others.
From 1963 С 1963 Kontsevych studied in the external section of the Zhytomyr Teacher's Training Institute however did not finish his studies. After the publication in 1964 of his collection of stories "Dvi kryntsi" ["Two wells"] he was accepted into the Ukrainian Union of Writers.
Local Party officials wanted to make Kontsevych into some kind of "Pavko Korchagin", the hero of the well-known novel by N. Ostrovsky "How the steel was tempered", which all Soviet school children had been brought up on (where the hero of the novel, like the writer, was blind and paralysed). Pioneers and pensioners began visiting him. The secretary of the regional committee on ideology herself pushed for him to join the Party. He refused as he was drawn to people with quite different leanings.
People who later became known as the Shestydesyatnyky [Sixties activists] also came to Zhytomyr, to 12 Druhy Shevchenkivsk provulok. For his thirtieth birthday, on 5 June 1965, his guests included A. HORSKA, the SVITLYCHNY family - Ivan, Leonida and Nadiya, Y. SVERSTYUK, V. CHORNOVIL, M. PLAKHOTNYUK, I. Zhylenko, M. Huts, H. Vozna-Kushnir, V. Tsymbal, B. Mamaisur and others. They chatted, sang, told jokes, and Yevhen was happy. A former neighbour who had made it into the nomenklatura came over to look at an album in which Kontsevych after his friends left had discovered a bugging device, and deactivated it for him. The KGB was already preparing for the August arrests of 1965. They arrived to search his home…. The head of the regional department of the KGB himself together with his henchmen demanded that the bugging device be handed over and that all be kept in secret, and tried to persuade Kontsevych to work for them. Kontsevych emphatically refused and the shameful incident became common knowledge throughout dissident Ukraine. Foreign radio stations also reported it. The same KGB colonel wanted Kontsevych to make a public statement in the press against the foreign publications about this "gift" for his birthday. Kontsevych once again refused.
On 18 April 1982 a search was once again made of Kontsevych's home in connection with the second wave of arrests: they took away 17 documents of samizdat, a large number of manuscripts, letters, a typewriter and other things. "If that man lying inside here could stand up, he still wouldn't be walking freely. He'd be inside … " one Zhytomyr KGB officer said openly.
The Zhytomyr Writers' Organization tried twice to have Kontsevych excluded from membership of the Union of Writers, however the response of the Party bosses above was clear: "Don't make him into a great martyr". Kontsevych's works stopped being published. He was surrounded on all sides by informers.
The interference continued up until the middle of the 80s. In 1985 a second collection of Kontsevych's stories was published called "Iduchy vulytseyu" ["Walking along the street"]. His books of translations from Polish and Russian also came out.
Kontsevych greeted the national revival of the end of the 80s – beginning of the 90s with optimism. While remaining removed from political organizations, he nonetheless exerts an influence on the national, cultural, literary and political life in Zhytomyr, and on the spiritual renewal of Ukraine. He is highly respected by the Ukrainian intelligentsia.
"Yevhen Kontsevych is in his way a symbol and legend for this generation – the generation of the Shestydesyatnyky. He is an amazing man who always inspired everybody. It wasn't, as might have seem, that he needed to be supported – he supported everybody and gave them some of his energy…. (I. DZIUBA).
"He carries himself as though he had no hardness or illness, but simple preferred the style of meeting guests lying down". (V. Shevchuk).
Kontsevych became the laureate of the Ivan Ohyenko All-Ukrainian prize in the field of literature and the arts (1999). He is a member of the All-Ukrainian Association for political prisoners and victims of repression.
Yevhen Kontsevych lives in Zhytomyr.

Once again Royal Caribbean has delivered the "WOW" by revealing details regarding the dining venues aboard the soon to be completed Oasis of the Seas. The many available options will provide a nice balance between the tried and true along with some brand new concepts. According to Frank Weber, Vice President of Food and Beverage Operations for Royal Caribbean, the size of Oasis provides the perfect opportunity to try these new concepts, and then match them to a specific neighborhood. At a "Culinary Showcase" web cast, Mr. Weber, along with Kenneth Taylor, Director of Restaurant Operations for Royal Caribbean, went through each neighborhood and discussed its companion dining venues.
The Boardwalk: Inspired by Coney Island, this outdoor, family friendly area is complete with the first ever Carousel at sea. You know the dining options here will be lots of fun!
* Johnny Rockets: Right in the center of activity, this 50's style family favorite is bigger and better! Serves up burgers and yummy shakes and malts.
* Seafood Shack: What a cool place! Surf music playing, with wait staff dressed in long board shorts and Quicksilver shirts. Munch on coconut shrimp, fried seafood baskets, baby back ribs and more.
* Donut Shop: Rotating selection of 10 -15 varieties of donuts and of course, coffee too! This could be dangerous!!!
* Ice Cream Parlor: 50's style decor with 15 flavors! Ice cream in the "classic" way. Sorbets, sundaes…Sweet!
* Boardwalk Bar: Full scale bar with specialty drinks tailored to the area. Also serves salads, sandwiches, and other quick food.
Central Park: This open-air neighborhood features serene pathways, seasonal flower gardens and canopy trees. How lovely it will be to dine in the park!
* 150 Central Park: The most exclusive of all onboard restaurants. Semi- formal attire. Features leading edge cuisine, wine pairings and tasting menu. More info still under wraps. Hmmm….
* Giovanni's Table: Takes the place of Portofino, but this new Tuscan bistro is more casual and has a "fun" atmosphere. Entrees are served "family style".
* Park Café: Perfect for a quick bite or a full meal. Wraps, sandwiches, and made to order salads. Even crepes on certain days.
* Vintages: You may have stopped by while you were on a Freedom or Voyager class ship, but now it's new and improved! Stop by for a glass of vino and tapas before heading off to dinner.
The Royal Promenade: Bigger and better, the Royal Promenade, a "bustling boulevard", even offers mezzanine levels that allow cruise passengers to overlook the space below.
* Sorrento's: Returning with new features, like pizza made to order! Pick the toppings you love, watch it being made, and mangia!
* Café Promenade: Always our first stop when we board! Cookies, pastries, yummy little sandwiches, specialty coffees. Diet? What diet?
* Mondo Coffee Bar: Isn't coffee one of the 5 basic food groups? Need I say more?
Pool and Sport Zone: Lets head up to deck 15 and 16 where the pools, hot tubs, flow riders, sports court and mini golf are located. Just making the trip up here has made me hungry!
* Solarium Bistro: Wholesome and healthy is the word, with a full buffet for breakfast and lunch. Dinner offers a healthy alternative with 500-calorie entrees and nutritional info readily available. Find it adjacent to the solarium pool.
* Wipe Out Café: Near the H2O Zone this is so convenient for families! Just as close to the teen area…and good thing because they're always hungry! All day soft serve, wraps, salads, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.
* Windjammer Marketplace: You know it; you love it; its back! Why tamper with perfection?
* Izumi: Asian specialties and sushi bar ordered a la carte. Also features the new and exciting concept called hot rock cooking, where meals are cooked on searing hot volcanic stone.
* Vitality Café: (on deck 6) Near the entrance of the spa and fitness center this is another option for health conscious guests. Wraps, fruit, smoothies, energy drinks, herbal teas are served.
So there you have it. Although reservations are not necessary for specialty restaurants, they are recommended. As a matter of fact, as of July 9 guests booked on the Oasis of the Seas can make their specialty dining reservations online. Please note that certain dining venues charge an additional fee. Of course the beautiful Opus dining room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with an entire floor reserved for guests choosing "My Time Dining".
As per Adam Goldstein, president of Royal Caribbean International, "Oasis of the Seas showcases the evolution of Royal Caribbean dining. Both the new concepts and the established Royal Caribbean offerings found throughout the neighborhoods are designed to meet contemporary dining standards, cater to individual preferences and schedules and foster epicurean curiosity".

Q: Variable number of arguments (va_list) with a function callback? I am working on implementing a function that would execute another function a few seconds in the future, depending upon the user's input.  I have a priority queue of a class (which I am calling TimedEvent) that contains a function pointer to the action I want it to execute at the end of the interval.  Say for instance that the user wants the program to call a function "xyz" after 3 seconds, they would create a new TimedEvent with the time and the function pointer to xyz and add it to the priority queue (which is sorted by time, with the soonest events happening first).
I have been able to successfully get the priority queue to pop off the top element after the specified time, but am running into a wall here.  The functions I want to call could take a variety of different parameters, from ones that take only a single integer to ones that take 3 integers, a string, etc. and also return different values (some ints, some strings, etc.).  I have looked into va_lists (which I have no experience with), but this doesn't seem to be the answer, unless I'm missing something.
In summary (the TL;DR version):
I would like to be able to call these functions as "diverse" as these with the same function pointer:
void func1(int a, int b);<br/>
int func2(int a, string b, OtherClass c);

Am I on the right track with a va_list and a function callback? Can this be implemented easily (or at all)?
Thanks!

A: I'm inferring here that these functions are API calls that you have no control over. I hacked up something that I think does more or less what you're looking for; it's kind of a rough Command pattern.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

//these are the various function types you're calling; optional
typedef int (*ifunc)(const int, const int);
typedef string (*sfunc)(const string&);

// these are the API functions you're calling
int func1(const int a, const int b) { return a + b; }
string func2(const string& a) { return a + " world"; }

// your TimedEvent is given one of these
class FuncBase
{
public:
  virtual void operator()() = 0;

};

// define a class like this for each function type
class IFuncWrapper : public FuncBase
{
public:
  IFuncWrapper(ifunc fp, const int a, const int b)
    : fp_(fp), a_(a), b_(b), result_(0) {}

  void operator()() {
    result_ = fp_(a_, b_);
  }

  int getResult() { return result_; }

private:

  ifunc fp_;
  int a_;
  int b_;
  int result_;

};

class SFuncWrapper : public FuncBase
{
public:
  SFuncWrapper(sfunc fp, const string& a)
  : fp_(fp), a_(a), result_("") {}

  void operator()() {
    result_ = fp_(a_);
  }

  string getResult() { return result_; }

private:

  sfunc fp_;
  string a_;
  string result_;

};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  IFuncWrapper ifw(func1, 1, 2);
  FuncBase* ifp = &ifw;

  // pass ifp off to your TimedEvent, which eventually does...
  (*ifp)();
  // and returns.

  int sum = ifw.getResult();
  cout << sum << endl;

  SFuncWrapper sfw(func2, "hello");
  FuncBase* sfp = &sfw;

  // pass sfp off to your TimedEvent, which eventually does...
  (*sfp)();
  // and returns.

  string cat = sfw.getResult();
  cout << cat << endl;

}

If you have a lot of functions returning the same type, you can define a subclass of FuncBase that implements the appropriate GetResult(), and wrappers for those functions can subclass it. Functions returning void would not require a GetResult() in their wrapper class, of course.

A: I think boost::bind will be useful to you.  For your application, you will probably want to bind all arguments when you create the functor, before putting it on the queue (that is, not use any _1 or _2 placeholders).  I don't think you need anything as complicated as lambda expressions/abstractions, but it's good to understand what they are.
+1 ceo for the DIY approach.  That will work too, but you have to do all the hard work yourself.
If you want to DIY though, I would suggest using templates instead of defining an xfunc and XFuncWrapper for each combination of types (see code below).
Also, I think allowing different return types is going to be pointless -- whatever code is de-queuing and calling the functions is going to be generic.  Either it expects the same type of return from each function, or it expects them to be procedures (return void).
template<typename R>
class FuncWrapper0 : public FuncBase
{
public:
  typedef R (*func)();
  FuncWrapper0(func fp) : fp_(fp) { }
  void operator()() { result_ = fp_(); }
  R getResult() { return result_; }
private:
  func fp_;
  R result_;
};

template<typename R, typename P1>
class FuncWrapper1 : public FuncBase
{
public:
  typedef R (*func)(const P1 &);
  FuncWrapper1(func fp, const P1 &p1) : fp_(fp), p1_(p1) { }
  void operator()() { result_ = fp_(p1_); }
  R getResult() { return result_; }
private:
  func fp_;
  P1 p1_;
  R result_;
};

template<typename R, typename P1, typename P2>
class FuncWrapper2 : public FuncBase
{
public:
  typedef R (*func)(const P1 &, const P2 &);
  FuncWrapper2(func fp, const P1 &p1, const P2 &p2)
    : fp_(fp), p1_(p1), p2_(p2) { }
  void operator()() { result_ = fp_(p1_, p2_); }
  R getResult() { return result_; }
private:
  func fp_;
  P1 p1_;
  P2 p2_;
  R result_;
};

A: What you're trying to do is almost impossible to get to work. You might want to consider packing your parameters into something like an std::vector<boost::any> instead.
Variable parameter lists are really the opposite of what you want. A variable parameter list allows a single function to be called from multiple sites, each with a unique set of parameters. What you want is to call multiple functions from a single site, each with a unique set of parameters -- and a variable parameter list just doesn't support that.

A: c/invoke is a library that lets you construct arbitrary function calls at runtime, but I think that's overkill in this case.  It sounds like you should find a way to "normalize" the callback function's signature so that you can call it the same way every time with a list, structure, union or something that allows you to pass different data through the same interface.

A: Well, there is a real hardcore trick that exploits the fact that in C every function is a pointer and you can cast a pointer to any other pointer. The original code, where I got this from, was written, when compilers didn't gave errors on implicit casts, so it took me a while to figure out that I had to cast the functions. What it does is that it casts the callback function to a function with a variable number of arguments. But at the same time, the invocation function is cast to a function with 10 arguments, of which not all will be supplied. Especially this last step seems tricky, but you've seen it before, where you give the wrong number of arguments to printf and it just compiles. It might even be that this is what va_start/va_end does under the hood. The code is actually for doing a custom operation on any element in the database, but it could be used for your situation as well:
#include    <stdio.h>

typedef int (*INTFUNC)(int,...);
typedef int (*MAPFUNCTION)(int [], INTFUNC, ...);

//------------------CALLBACK FUNCTION----------------

static int  callbackfunction(int DatabaseRecord,int myArgument,int *MyResult){

    if(DatabaseRecord < myArgument){
        printf("mapfunction record:%d<%d -> result %d+%d=%d\n",DatabaseRecord,myArgument,*MyResult,DatabaseRecord,*MyResult+DatabaseRecord);
        *MyResult+=DatabaseRecord;}
    else{
        printf("mapfunction record:%d<%d not true\n",DatabaseRecord,myArgument);
    }
    return 0;   // keep looping
}

//------------------INVOCATION FUNCTION---------------

static int  MapDatabase(int DataBase[], INTFUNC func, void* a1, void* a2, void* a3, void* a4, void* a5, void* a6, void* a7, void* a8, void* a9)
{
int cnt,end;
int ret = 0;

end = DataBase[0]+1;
for(cnt = 1;cnt<end;++cnt){
    if(func(DataBase[cnt], a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9)) {
        ret = DataBase[cnt];
        break;
    }

}
return ret;

}

//------------------TEST----------------

void    TestDataBase3(void)
{
    int DataBase[20];
    int cnt;
    int RecordMatch;
    int Result = 0;

    DataBase[0] = 19;
    for(cnt = 1;cnt<20;++cnt){
        DataBase[cnt] = cnt;}

    // here I do the cast to MAPFUNCTION and INTFUNC
    RecordMatch = ((MAPFUNCTION)MapDatabase)(DataBase,(INTFUNC)callbackfunction,11,&Result);
    printf("TestDataBase3 Result=%d\n",Result);

}

The same functionality can perfectly be written by using va_start/va_end. It might be the more official way of doing things, but I find it less user friendly. Either the callbackfunction needs to decode its arguments or you need to write a switch/case block inside the invocation function for every combination of arguments that the callback function can have. This means that you have to supply the format of the arguments (just like printf does) or you have to require that all arguments are the same and you just supply the number of arguments, but then you still have to write a case for each amount of arguments. Here is an example where the callback function decodes the arguments:
#include    <stdio.h>
#include    <stdarg.h>

//------------------CALLBACK FUNCTION----------------

static int  callbackfunction(int DatabaseRecord,va_list vargs)
{
    int myArgument  = va_arg(vargs, int);   // The callbackfunction is responsible for knowing the argument types
    int *MyResult   = va_arg(vargs, int*);

    if(DatabaseRecord < myArgument){
        printf("mapfunction record:%d<%d -> result %d+%d=%d\n",DatabaseRecord,myArgument,*MyResult,DatabaseRecord,*MyResult+DatabaseRecord);
        *MyResult+=DatabaseRecord;}
    else{
        printf("mapfunction record:%d<%d not true\n",DatabaseRecord,myArgument);
    }
    return 0;   // keep looping
}

//------------------INVOCATION FUNCTION---------------

static int  MapDatabase(int DataBase[], int (*func)(int,va_list), int numargs, ...)
{
int     cnt,end;
int     ret = 0;
va_list vargs;

end = DataBase[0]+1;
for(cnt = 1;cnt<end;++cnt){
    va_start( vargs, numargs );     // needs to be called from within the loop, because va_arg can't be reset
    if(func(DataBase[cnt], vargs)) {
        ret = DataBase[cnt];
        break;
    }
    va_end( vargs );                // avoid memory leaks, call va_end
}

return ret;

}

//------------------TEST----------------

void    TestDataBase4(void)
{
    int DataBase[20];
    int cnt;
    int RecordMatch;
    int Result = 0;

    DataBase[0] = 19;
    for(cnt = 1;cnt<20;++cnt){
        DataBase[cnt] = cnt;}

    RecordMatch = MapDatabase(DataBase,callbackfunction,2,11,&Result);
    printf("TestDataBase4a Result=%d\n",Result);
    Result = 0;
    RecordMatch = MapDatabase(DataBase,callbackfunction,0,11,&Result);  // As a hack: It even works if you don't supply the number of arguments.
    printf("TestDataBase4b Result=%d\n",Result);

A: @Redef, if your compiler optimizes args into registers, it need not push them on the stack unless they are vargs. This means, in your first example, that callbackfunction will be expecting args in registers whilst the caller using INTFUNC (with a vargs decl) pushes them on the stack.
The result will be that the callback doesn't see the args.

Last Spring was all about the lace up heels this season the trend is back with a different twist. As much as I love my heels, I also like to throw on a chic pair of flats and go. These lace up flats add a chic flair to a similar pair of flats. The best thing about this trend is that you don't have to spend a lot to get this trend, two of my favorite pieces are from Jessica Simpson Zeena Flat and my newly added sandals from Necessary Clothing. You can easily transition this trend from work week to the weekend.
Summer is all about the easy breezy looks. The lace up flat adds a touch of casual thoughtfulness to a look. Add a lace up sandal to complete a boho look; tunic top and cutoff shorts. This look is perfect for a stroll in the neighborhood or for brunch with friends.
Nothing says spring like printed pants and pastels! Take this trend to work by pairing the lace up flat with cropped printed pants and this summer's it pastel colors. These sandals are a bit casual, so to dress them up keep the rest of your look office appropriate. These are even perfect to wear to just get you to work, a lot more chic then just wearing flats or a pair of sneaks to the office.
Are you digging this trend as much as I am?
Totally digging it! I love the work outfit. I may have to try a pair for the summer. Still deciding which sandals to invest in. I'm a flats girl because I'm an absolute klutz in heels.


Whether consumers, attendees, delegates, patients or members, digital signage has the ability to be both adaptable and highly personalised and all this controlled from a centralised system.
But like their static lightbox cousins, digital signs are only as ever as good as the design and planning that goes into them, so getting it right is essential if your efforts and investment is to be rewarded.
Content management software (CMS) facilitates the presentation of content on digital displays. CMS software is available at a range of price points, with some programs specialising in a limited variety of content and others able to display everything from images and text to webpages and video.
Whether you choose to use a TV or a monitor as your display, it must be able to display content at a high resolution that allows audiences to properly engage with the text and visual media being showcased. You will also need a media player and if you plan to mount your display anywhere, obtaining appropriate fixtures and fittings is essential.
Digital signage is a uniquely dynamic visual medium, however it will only ever be as effective as the content you choose to showcase. When considering digital signage content, simplicity and a clear call to action are paramount. Equally important is the careful placement of the design (i.e., the context / environment into which the sign will be viewed).
● Is this font legible from a distance?
● Does this word need to be underlined?
● Does this graphic convey our intended message?
● Are we utilising an appropriate colour scheme that isn't visually overwhelming?
A strategic plan will help you to ensure your project has a clear set of goals and objectives. This information will inform a range of decisions, including the type of media player you will need, the size of your display and the type(s) of content you showcase.
Your plan should also carefully profile your target audience, detailing their interests, motivations, intentions and habits to determine the most effective ways to capture their attention.
30% however securing success is reliant on the ability to make a range of important decisions.
The type of content you want to display on your digital signage should always be a core factor when determining the best location.
communications will generally be seen by the most people in reception areas and entryways. Signage designed to entice new customers should be visible in places with high footfall, such as store windows.
● What are people doing in this area?
● Do people stop here? If so, are there any specific spaces in which people typically wait?
● Are there any potential obstacles that could impact the visibility of a digital display?
● Is there space for a digital display at an appropriate viewing height?
Signage in high traffic areas will be viewed at a glance as people walk between point A and point B. Copy should ideally be kept under 5 words and be displayed in a large font against a simple background. Signage that rotates through a small selection of concise messages is highly effective in this situation.
This type of interaction often takes place in waiting rooms, elevators and service desks. As viewing times will typically be longer in duration, digital signage in these locations can convey more complex messaging. Additionally, interactive displays could showcase scrollable web pages, searchable directories or maps.
● Informative content, including news and calendars.
● Engaging content, such as video and trivia, that can reduce perceived waiting times.
● Promotional material for high margin products.
● Limited time in-store promotions.
Digital signage is an excellent tool to utilise when promoting awareness of your brand, marketing the introduction of a new product or service and relaying important messages to members of staff, but it is also a great way to engage audiences on a more general basis because it can capture attention more effectively than static flyers, posters and signs.

On 9 December 2010, we increased the value of our tender offer to $70.00 per share. At this price, the total value of the transaction would be approximately $7.8 billion, including $6.1 billion of equity and $1.7 billion of assumed debt. The offer and withdrawal rights are scheduled to expire on 4February2011, unless further extended.
In connection with this tender offer, we have secured committed financing in the form of a $6.7 billion term loan credit facility. Fees incurred to secure this credit facility have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the arrangement.
For the three months ended 31 December 2010, $43.5 ($27.2 after-tax, or $.12 per share) in expense was recognized related to this transaction and is included within acquisition-related costs on the consolidated income statement. This includes amortization of the fees related to the term loan credit facility and other acquisition-related costs.

Thanksgiving on the Road
Away from home on a holiday. It's the norm rather than the exception for the average airline pilot. Seniority rules the monthly bidding process, and no matter how long you have been with the same employer, if you bid to a senior seat on a senior airplane that flies out of a senior base, you will probably find yourself out on the road for the major holidays.
That is why I found myself preflighting my side of the cockpit on Thanksgiving Day morning in preparation for a nearly 12-hr flight from the U.S. West Coast to Japan. We were leaving beautiful weather and turkey-laden dinner tables to fly into what was predicted to be howling winds, moderate turbulence and landing crosswinds very close to the limits for our airplane.
I drew the straw that provided me with the opportunity to make the takeoff. Today our weight was right at 825,000 lbs. and we seemed to roll forever before the V1 call was made, followed shortly thereafter by the command to rotate. The book says that we could stop if we stomped on the brakes as we reached V1, but it never looks like there is enough runway to me. Luckily I've never had to make a near-V1 abort outside of a simulator.
We 'coasted out' just north of San Francisco, meaning we made our turn to the northwest and out over the Pacific at that point, flying to latitude/longitude coordinates rather than named navigation points. As we progressed west all of the turbulence warning areas that our meteorology department had sent to us with the preflight paperwork were canceled, indicating that previous flights had not reported the forecast turbulence. We turned off the seatbelt sign and continued westward, climbing as our weight decreased, thankful for the unexpected smooth ride.


THE GOOD news: there is overwhelming support for the Indo-US civil nuclear deal in the US Senate. The bad news: this is why individual senators are tying their pet bills to the Senate vote on the nuclear deal.
Two such pet bills now lie between the nuclear deal being put to vote before the Senate goes into recess this weekend. One bill requires the US to allow more IAEA inspections of its nuclear facilities. The other bill requires that no Indian nuclear waste must be put in a depository in Nevada.
Partisan squabbling over both these bills has made it impossible to get the "unanimous consent proposal" that would allow the nuclear deal to get through this week. Under such a proposal, the senators would limit debate and the number of amendments to the nuclear deal to ensure a speedy vote.
The first pet bill is an old problem that has resurfaced. The original nuclear deal legislation had come with an unrelated bill on US compliance with the IAEA's Additional Protocol attached. Rightwing Republican opposition to the language of the attached bill had held up the Senate vote for much of the past month.
A compromise reached a fortnight ago was reported to have broken down with Democratic Senator Joe Biden objecting to one of the clauses in the compromise language. Last minute negotiations were on for yet another compromise, said diplomatic sources. The second pet bill is an amendment to the nuclear deal moved by Democratic Senator Harry Reid.
This would require that no civilian nuclear waste from India should be deposited in the Yucca Mountain Depository in Reid's state of Nevada.
This is also only tenuously linked to the nuclear deal and is really about a raging environmental debate in Nevada over the Yucca facility.
Ironically, Reid — who is Senate Minority Leader and the seniormost Democratic senator — has publicly said the Indo-US nuclear deal legislation is important and indicated he supports an early vote.
On Tuesday, his office claimed he had been among the first to call for a unanimous consent agreement. It blamed Senator Bill Frist —the Senate Majority Leader and seniormost Republican senator — for bringing 16 other bills to the Senate floor instead of putting the nuclear deal to an early vote.
Frist's office reacted saying, "That is absolutely ridiculous, considering that we could not even get a list of amendments that Senator Reid and the Democrats wanted to add to the US-India nuclear bill." Not providing such a list, said diplomatic sources, would delay any unanimous consent agreement.
Reid and Frist also disagree on the form of the unanimous consent vote with Reid holding out for a full day's debate and Frist wanting it restricted to only seven hours.
With the nuclear deal mired so deeply in domestic US politics, exacerbated by the fact midterm congressional elections will be held on November 7, Indian diplomats accept matters are largely out of their hands.
"At least both Republicans and Democrats insist they strongly support the Indo-US nuclear deal," one of them said.

Basic Biographical Details
Name: (Dr) Frederic ('Eric') Robert Stevenson
Designation: Architect
Born: 19 March 1914
Bio Notes: Frederic Robert Stevenson (sometimes known as 'Eric') was born on 19 March 1914, the son of William Robert Stevenson, priest, and his wife Ingeborg Bartolsen. He attended day classes at Edinburgh College of Art from October 1931. He spent a year working in H M Office of Works, Edinburgh under J Wilson Paterson from August 1935, but resumed his diploma course thereafter, obtaining the diploma in June 1937. He was admitted ARIBA on 10 January 1938, his proposers being Reginald Francis Joseph Fairlie, Frank Charles Mears and James Alexander Arnott. His nomination papers give no business address but indicate that he was living at 39 East Claremont Street, Edinburgh at that time. They also state that he had undertaken five study tours ranging from four weeks to three months and encompassing Scotland, England, France and Denmark, including one as RIBA Pugin Student in 1935. He was also Neale Bursar in 1938. His declaration accepting his RIBA admittance was witnessed by fellow architect Eric Hutton Crosbee.
In 1945 he was engaged in intelligence work in Sweden.
By 1950 Stevenson was a Knight of the Order of Dannebrog (Denmark). At that time he had a salaried post in the Department of Health for Scotland, St Andrews House, Edinburgh. He later obtained a PhD.
Stevenson was appointed Director of the University of Edinburgh's Housing Research Unit by Professor Robert H. Matthew in 1959 after leaving the Department of Health for Scotland, where he had worked as a senior Regional Planning Officer since 1953, and as Deputy Chief Architect and Planning Officer since 1956. He left the HRU in 1961 and began teaching Architectural History at the University. He was a great authority on Scandinavian modernism.
Stevenson died aged 79 at his home in North Berwick on 25 May 1993. His wife Margrete Hoffmeyer, daughter of the Danish Lutheran Bishop Skat Hoffmeyer of Aarhus, survived him. Their son Kenneth William Stevenson, born on 9 November 1949, had married at the age of 21 and had three daughters and one son. After an education at Edinburgh Academy and studies at the universities of Edinburgh and Southampton, he had followed a religious vocation, serving as chaplain of Manchester University before becoming vicar of Holy Trinity, Guildford in 1986. He was still there at the time of his father's death, but would later become Bishop of Portsmouth, and was an important theological scholar.

Zofran Injection May Cause Abnormal Heart Rhythm, Torsades de Pointes
Federal health regulators are warning that side effects of Zofran injections, when given in a large single dose to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatments, may increase the risk of a serious and potentially life-threatening heart rhythm problem, known as Torsades de Pointes.
In a drug safety communication issued by the FDA on June 29, the agency warned that new data suggests that a 32 mg single intravenous dose of Zofran, or generic ondansetron, may effect the electrical activity of the heart, causing QT prolongation.
As a result of these heart rhythm abnormalities, patients may be predisposed to develop Torsades de Pointes, which is a rare vareity of ventricular tachycardia. The condition can denegrate into ventricular fibrillation, which may lead to sudden death if proper treatment is not received.
Zofran (ondansetron) is an anti-nausea medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, which is used to treat side effects of cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. It is a member of a class of drugs known as 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, which work by blocking the actions of serotonin.
The FDA indicates that Glaxo will update the Zofran warning label (PDF) to remove the 32 mg single intravenous dose, indicating that no single dose should exceed 16mg. Adults and children suffering from nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy can continue to receive the lower dose of 0.15 mg/kg, administered every four hours for three doses. The update does not change any recommended oral dosing regiments.
In September 2011, the FDA issued a warning to alert doctors about an on-going investigation into the potential risk of Zofran heart rhythm problems.
At that time, the federal drug regulatory agency ordered Glaxo to conduct additional studies to assess the heart rhythm side effects of Zofran, and preliminary results show that QT prolongation from Zofran injections occur in a dose dependent manner. The FDA indicates that it will work with Glaxo to explore an alternative single dose regimen that is safe and effective.
Users of Zofran have been advised to seek immediate medical treatment if they experience irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting. Doctors may order electrocardiograms for users to monitor the heart rate and rhythm.
The risk of problems from Zofran appear to be increased among those with congenital long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias or among those taking other medications that may prolong the QT interval of the heart. The FDA has also recommended that doctors correct any electrolyte abnormalities, like hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, before administering an infusion of Zofran.
Zofran Lawsuits
Use of Zofran in Pregnancy May Increase the Risk that Children Suffer Cleft Palate, Cleft Lip, Heart Defects or Other Malformations.
