Now that you have smacked the rescue inhalers out of asthmatics mouths and forced them to pay double for "replacement" lifesaving drugs that don't work (albuterol HFA), shouldn't you get to work abolishing these government programs that pay people to continue ruining the planet by heating with wood, wood pellets and worst of all OIL? Seems like Obama pal Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico is actually doubling the amount of assistance this year in his state. I wonder why? Isn't it getting warmer everywhere?

Will this be the end of general aviation? If an existing certified engine is not compatible with the "new eco-friendly" fuel what then? Are we expected to re certify with a new fuel compatible engine? What about airframe system incompatibility with a proposed new fuel like vapor lock or bacteria growth? What about vintage and historical aircraft, will this park them for good? Am I the only one who thinks this sucks?

Every asthma sufferer depends upon a rescue inhaler for survival. Without it one either needs to make a trip to the emergency room for treatment or suffer a slow, painful, choking inability to breathe which can result in death. As of 12/31/08 all rescue inhalers which contain CFC's as propellants were banned from use and they have been replaced with inhalers which use a different propellant (HFA). Unfortunately for asthmatics, no-one seemed to care if the newly reformulated rescue inhalers worked as well as the banned medicines. Now that the ban is in effect it has been discovered that for some, the new inhalers are not as effective as the previous inhalers and for others, the new inhalers do not work at all. Finally, because of the change, there are no generic rescue inhalers at this time, so all asthmatics are forced to pay considerably more for medicine that may or may not work. I am a lifelong asthma sufferer and like many others, the new HFA inhalers work poorly at best and sometimes they are not effective at all. I am also paying 50% more for each inhaler ($40 now as opposed to $20) So my questions are;

Do you feel that this suffering is OK since it may help the planet in some intangible way? Remember these are extremely small inhalers with tiny amounts of CFC's.

Why should people with incurable diseases be forced to suffer and pay more to support your cause?

Why didn't you consider these impacts when this ban was forced upon us?

You can Wiki albuterol to read more about the ban and the complaints many asthma sufferers like myself have.

I am wondering what else is likely to cause me problems. I am suspect of soy beans. Are they in the peanut family? I have many other allergies and have been repeatedly tested since childhood. None of those tests revealed the peanut allergy. I'm not interested in going back for more tests, I would just like some advice. Thanks

I have a string of data in a column on an excel spreadsheet. The string was recorded at a rate of 500 values per second. I want to analyze this data at a rate of one data point every second , or look at every 500 th value, any ideas?
