[00:01]balcony

[00:03]I take a lunch break on a hot balcony covered in

[00:06]Astroturf, where some of the delegations loiter, drinking

[00:10]coffee and calling the home office while smoking.

[00:14]agony

[00:16]On another level, many in the medical community

[00:18]acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been

[00:22]fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern

[00:26]medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.

[00:33]Isle

[00:35]the Benguela Stream will be docking in the Windward

[00:39]Isles to bring bananas to Europe for Christmas, and doing

[00:43]her bit to help ascertain where a large part of that CO2 ends up.

[00:48]aisle

[00:51]The rows of up to 56 seats have no aisles, so a patron

[00:55]can potentially knock knees with dozens of others. But

[00:59]that is going to change.

[01:02]issue

[01:03]Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such

[01:07]legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue

[01:11]was still "up in the air."

[01:16]tissue

[01:18]Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20,

[01:22]demands calories and nutrients - notably, protein - to

[01:26]feed expanding tissues.

[01:30]humor

[01:31]People laugh easily here, but you have to wonder how

[01:34]they keep their sense of humor, as life gets more difficult

[01:38]every day-about 20 percent more difficult to be exact.
