"Ever since the War on Drugs, everything has hit the fan," says Romesh Bhattacharji, former Narcotics Commissioner of India. Rather than continue the unnecessary and costly drug war, Bhattacharji advises the United States to simply "Relax, take it easy, [and] tolerate." Last month, at the Cato Institute's "Ending the Global War on Drugs" conference, Bhattacharji's sentiments were echoed by ex-drug czars, cops, politicians, intellectuals, liberal and conservative journalists, and even the former President of Brazil.

Glenn Greenwald, Salon.com Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal Tucker Carlson, The Daily Caller Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou, Speaker of the House of Deputies, Uruguay Leigh Maddox, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition; University of Maryland School of Law Enrique Gomez Hurtado, former Senator, Colombia Larry Campbell, Senator, Canada Romesh Bhattacharji, former Narcotics Commissioner, India Eric Sterling, Criminal Justice Policy Foundation Harry G.

Well Jackie and Martina are back with some more music video goodness, and we've even thought up a name for this little endeavor. This week we have tha latest from John Mayer, plus a southern rock band by the name of Blackberry Smoke.
BIO:
John Mayer: (from allmusic.com )
After making his introduction as a sensitive, acoustic-styled songwriter on 2001's Room for Squares, John Mayer steadily widened his approach over the subsequent years, encompassing everything from blues-rock to adult contemporary in the process. Arriving during the tail end of teen pop's heyday, he crafted pop music for a more discerning audience, spiking his songcraft with jazz chords and literate turns of phrase. The combination proved to be quite popular, as Room for Squares went triple platinum before its follow-up release, Heavier Things, arrived in September 2003. Mayer continued to retool his sound with each album, however, moving beyond the material that had launched his career and adopting elements of rock, blues, and soul. Moreover, he partnered with legends of several genres, making guest appearances on albums by Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, and B.B. King, while touring alongside jazz icon Herbie Hancock. Mayer also retained enough pop/rock foundation to continue his reign of the charts, making him one of the decade's most popular songwriters.
Born in Bridgeport, CT, and raised in the nearby town of Fairfield, Mayer began playing blues as a teenager. By 1997, his skill on the electric guitar was enough to warrant admission into the Berklee College of Music, although Mayer dropped out after two semesters to pursue a songwriting career in Atlanta. Working alongside former classmate Clay Cook, he frequented the local coffeehouse circuit and began co-writing material that melded palatable pop/rock with unexpected flourishes. Cook and Mayer parted ways shortly thereafter, however, with Cook joining the Marshall Tucker Band's touring lineup for several years. Now a solo artist by default, Mayer recorded several of the duo's songs, packaged them alongside a handful of his own compositions, and self-released the EP in 1999 under the title Inside Wants Out.
Mayer secured a deal with Aware Records in early 2000, and recording sessions for his debut album commenced later that year with producer John Alagia, renowned for his work with Dave Matthews and Ben Folds Five. Although Inside Wants Out had been a decidedly acoustic effort, Room for Squares proved to be a more expansive affair, with several of Mayer's old songs receiving new, radio-ready arrangements. Released in 2001 by both Aware and Columbia Records, the album quickly launched Mayer's career, with "No Such Thing" and "Your Body Is a Wonderland" both becoming Top 20 hits.
As Mayer hit the road in support of the album, his considerable talent as a lead guitarist (a skill that had been downplayed during Room for Squares) flourished, leading him to showcase several blues-influenced solos on his 2003 live album, Any Given Thursday. That same year, Mayer won his first Grammy Award for "Your Body Is a Wonderland." He returned to the Grammy ceremony two years later, this time to accept a pair of awards for "Daughters," a soulful ballad from his lucrative sophomore release, Heavier Things. Commercial and critical success notwithstanding, Mayer's interest in other genres convinced him to take a brief break from pop music, and he tested his instrumental chops by collaborating with blues artists (Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Eric Clapton) and jazz legends (John Scofield, Herbie Hancock). He also assembled the John Mayer Trio, whose bluesy rock & roll was displayed on the band's first and only release, Try!
Mayer returned to his solo career with 2006's Continuum, a warmly received album that saw him focusing on blues, pop, and contemporary soul. "Gravity" found modest success as a single, but "Waiting on the World to Change" proved to be the album's commercial highlight, cracking the Top 20 in February 2007 and winning a Grammy that same month. Later that year, Mayer achieved his highest-charting single to date with "Say," a song from the Rob Reiner film The Bucket List. After "Say" peaked at number 12, the song was included in a reissued version of Continuum, and it took home yet another Grammy Award (along with "Gravity") in early 2009. Following the release of a live album, Where the Light Is, Mayer once again returned to the studio in 2009, this time to record Battle Studies.

Aero Tv Profiles Cecil Field 2009 An Airshow For Alan Henley
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 03:26:38 03/20/09
Record Number of Performers Scheduled -- This Is THE Place To Be This April 18-19! As previously noted, the airshow industry, and the community that supports it, is said to be a close-knit and supportive one... and if there was ever any doubt about that, it has to disappear with the upcoming Cecil Field Airshow... a celebration of aviation that has been brought about, in large part, to help and support Alan Henley (pictured right), a much beloved member of the AeroShell Aerobatic team who suffered a paralyzing injury last year while engaged in the simple act of playing with his kids. The airshow community is rallying to the cause with incredible passion and organization. At least 35 aerobatic performers are currently committed to flying in the North Florida airshow next month (April 18-19), with the able aid of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA). All 35 performances are scheduled for both days, along with a number of ground and aviation static and support displays and activities, making for a feature-packed weekend that is expected to draw attendees form all over North America. The airshow schedule is packed to the gills... both in numbers as well as variety. It has everything... from skydiving to wing-walkers to military tactical demonstrations, to warbirds, to some of the best precision aerobatic pilots and planes in the world. The performers list is a veritable "Who's Who" of the airshow world. Performers include (but are not limited to) The AeroShell Aerobatic Team, the Aerostars, Corky Fornof, Dale Snodgrass, Announcer Danny Clisham, Gene Soucy and Wing-Walker Teresa Stokes, Greg Poe, Jim Peitz, John Mohr, Lee Lauderback and Stallion 51 Mustang, Glider Pilot Manfred Radius, Patty Wagstaff, Announcer Rob Reider, Sean D. Tucker and Steve & Susanne Oliver -- and that barely covers a third of those scheduled! And yes, ANN and Aero-TV will be there to cover every exciting moment! Proceeds from this event will benefit Fly, Drive and Ride for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Research and The Alan Henley Foundation. The Alan Henley Foundation is a charitable organization whose sole purpose is to benefit his treatment and his family. Alan and his wife, Jennifer, have two young children, Skylar and Brandon. Alan has served admirably, for a number of years as the lead pilot for the AeroShell Aerobatic Team (tough duty, he used to tell us... and we never believed him... grin). He was injured last July in an accident while playing with his children at his home in Birmingham, AL. A chin-up bar gave way while Henley was on it, resulting in a fall which caused severe injuries to his neck and head. Alan is making progress... but it's a slow expensive process that is not being all that well supported by Henley's medical insurer -- so it's up to his airshow family to pick up the difference. Alan has undergone a number of surgeries and battled collateral infections and complications that resulted from his injury. At the moment, we regret to note that he is still paralyzed from the chest down, and will undergo extensive rehabilitation 'on a long journey to an uncertain recovery.' Insurance has helped cover the tremendous costs of his treatment, but ANN has been informed that those benefits may be soon cut off, forcing them to find other means of not only supporting Alan’s rehabilitation and medical care, but daily living expenses as well. Tickets are (a very reasonable) $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for kids twelve and under, and FREE for kids six and under. The 2009 Cecil Field Airshow will be held Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2009 from 1000 to 1700. Please join ANN and Aero-TV as we ALL support one of the best of our airshow family... and enjoy a few days enjoying all manner of airshow excitement.
