The Mississippi Death Row inmate's execution was stayed pending the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of Kentucky's form of lethal injection, the so-called "three drug cocktail." Kentucky Death Row inmates are challenging the cocktail on the grounds that it violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The ...

As a parent, that doesn't make me too happy, and I have to think there's an analogy here to how law firm clients feel... No one wants to be on the other side of the non-sharing equation, do they?Not too many Librarians or KM practitioners will ever say that sharing knowledge is a completely natural behaviour. Heck, we need t...
