Lethal injection hurts

Lethal injection hurts 04/16/2005 02:49 PM
David Pescovitz: Lethal injection as its currently practiced may not be a particularly painless way to execute someone. In the medical journal The Lancet, researchers report that in 90% of the cases they examined, the executionees were not completely anesthetized to pain when they were kicked off this mortal coil and 40% may have been conscious when it happened. Since they couldn't very well ask their subjects, the researchers analyzed the post-mortem blood levels of anesthetic in 49 executed inmates. From New Scientist:

Since 1976, when the death penalty was reinstated in the US, 788 people have been killed by lethal injection. The procedure typically involves the injection of three substances: first, sodium thiopental to induce anaesthesia, followed by pancuronium bromide to relax muscles, and finally potassium chloride to stop the heart.

But doctors and nurses are prohibited by healthcare professionals’ ethical guidelines from participating in or assisting with executions, and the technicians involved have no specific training in administering anaesthetics.

“My impression is that lethal injection as practiced in the US now is no more humane than the gas chamber or electrocution, which have both been deemed inhumane,” says Leonidas Koniaris, a surgeon in Miami and one of the authors on the paper. He is not, he told New Scientist, against the death penalty per se.

Lawsuits Seek to Ban Lethal Injection
(AP) 09/17/2004 06:56 AM
AP - Lethal injection, when used for the first time in Texas nearly 22 years ago, was touted as a more humane way to execute prisoners than the firing squad, hanging, the gas chamber or even the electric chair. Today, though, death penalty opponents are challenging that notion based on the Constitution's Eighth Amendment, which prohibits "cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

Lethal Lunch

Lethal Lunch 03/14/2005 06:01 PM

« A pair of snowmen in the park. Is it just me or did there seem to be a lot fewer snowmen around town this year? »

There is one detail in the structure of the Finnish workday that remains a bit strange; lunch. In the US, few workplaces have a cafeteria and most folks either eat at their desk or drive to the nearest Taco Hell and make a run for the border in their car. Lunch is an unceremonious affair if people take a lunch at all. I spent years either working instead of lunch or eating a sandwich at my desk somewhere around 2pm. Here, lunchtime is 11am and it seems, with rare exception, that everyone heads to the cafeteria and has a hearty, hot lunch. I presume that since few people have cars that driving off the rez for eatz just isn't possible, so a large majority just eat in. Lunch still feels like a guilty pleasure even though I've grown used to the 11am schedule, but the food....well, no.

My weight hadn't changed by more than a kilogram or two in 10 years until I started eating lunch at the cafeteria at work and I'm starting to suspect that the Finnish lunch is, in fact, deadly. Actually, I don't think my diet has really changed at all, except for the work cafeteria food, for the past 3 months so it must be responsible for my expanding landscape. I had heard rumous about the Finnish cafeteria food, but the scathing reviews didn't come close to the reality. It's not an all-you-can-eat buffet and I'm not snarfing heaping globs of the grey, unidentified goo that the cook feels compelled to stand next to and reassure the diners that it really is edible and does taste good in spite of the colour. The cook also seems to love curry for those days where the leftovers are 'repurposed' by putting them into a bright yellow curry goo and served with rice. When the entree isn't grey or curry yellow, it's brown. Rice, pasta and au gratin potatoes of some variety are a fixture. It's all the food that the videos in health class warned you not to eat. I keep imagining that we'll watch someone keel over from a massive heart attack in the middle of a mound of pyttipannu topped with 2 or 3 fried eggs. You know it's a bad day when most tables have salt, pepper and/or HP sauce being passed around as they did today. I never take the dessert, often a vat of an unknown gloop, since I generally prefer a dessert with texture even if the stuff happens to taste good. And water is the only beverage since Finnish cafeterias haven't been bought by the soft drink conglomerates which leaves a variety of milk products and a slightly alcoholic beer called kotikalja that, even at 1% ABV, I just can't bring myself to drink during working hours. Perhaps Martha Stewart's next book could be on mess hall/cafeteria/prison cooking in an attempt to help prisoners everywhere get a decent meal. We can only hope.

I really must stop eating lunch in the cafeteria every day and start riding my bike to work again soon instead of sitting on the bus so that I'll hopefully be able to avoid what really terrifies me most: shopping for new clothes. In Finland.

Reuters - A group of underground virus writers has showed off what is believed to be the world's first worm that can spread on advanced mobile phones, but security software companies say the virus had no malicious code attached. The worm, named Cabir, was sent to security software firms Kapersky Lab of Russia and U.S.-based Symantec by a member of 29a, a group of virus writers from the Czech Republic and Slovakia who pride themselves in creating "proof of concept malicious viruses," Kapersky Labs spokesman Denis Zenkin said.

DVD Jon Acquittal Upheld

DVD Jon Acquittal Upheld 12/22/2003 12:44 PM
Well, it's been quite a few days against bad entertainment industry lawsuits. The latest is that, over in Norway, "DVD Jon" Lech Johansen has won the appeal on his case for creating and releasing the DeCSS code. This is a good ruling, though, it's likely the movie industry will appeal to the country's Supreme Court. The case revolves around whether it was illegal for Jon to create some code that would allow him to view movies that he purchased legally on his own computer running Linux. The movie industry says that he broke their encryption to do so. The original ruling said that he had done nothing wrong, and the Appeals Court echoes that in their ruling today, saying that Jon could go ahead and make copies of DVDs he legally owned - and that he did not break the law in creating software to help him do so.

The Mobility Denial System is an oil-slick-in-a-can, a combination of "Drilling Mud Additive, Flocculent and water" that renders surfaces as slippery as wet ice. Lots of tasty acronyms and buzzwords on the sell page, including "Anti-Traction Material (ATM)" and "Non-Lethal Slippery Foam."

Once applied, the material will degrade or impair the adversary's ability to move. For Interior applications it can be applied to flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as linoleum, tile, wood floors or staircases. Exterior applications include sloped, rough, porous surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and grassy areas.
