<description>The debate over whether lethal injection is a humane way of executing criminals is just about over.  In most states, including Ohio, the path is clear to begin reducing the inventory of death row inmates.  But, just like a bad cold the cruel and inhuman argument rears its ugly head again in Ohio as one profoundly overweight inmate says "&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.columbusdispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/08/05/TOO_FAT_TO_DIE.ART_ART_08-05-08_B3_G3AUJGM.html?sid=101">I'm too fat to be</description>

<title>skeptic: finding veins</title>

<description>Obesity is not the only factor involved in finding veins. &#160;Different people have veins of varying sizes as well as varying distance from the skin, even aside from the amount of fat which may enshroud the veins and make them harder to find. &#160;Also,</description>
