I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL. As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

Compassion & Choices Applauds Vermont Senate's Important Vote to Advance Death With Dignity Bill

MONTPELIER, Vt., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Vermont Senate today voted 17-13 to override the Senate Judiciary Committee's recommendation on S.B. 48, a bill to allow mentally competent, terminally ill Vermonters the option of choosing aid in dying. The following statement can be attributed to Kathryn Tucker, Director of Legal Affairs for Compassion & Choices, the nation's oldest and largest nonprofit working to improve care and expand choice at the end of life. Tucker testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in favor of the bill on February 6.

"Today's vote is an important step for patients, families and doctors who support choice and autonomy. The Vermont Senators' vote reflects the views of a great majority of Vermonters, who overwhelmingly support aid in dying. Citizens want to control their lives, up to the moment they die, without government interference in their private healthcare choices. Today's Senate vote supports giving individuals the opportunity to make deeply personal medical decisions based on their own values and beliefs.

"We are pleased that the full Senate will continue debate on the aid-in-dying measure. Beyond Vermont, end-of-life choice is advancing in at least seven other states this year.

"Compassion & Choices is proud to work alongside Patient Choices Vermont and our many supporters throughout the state who, along with Governor Peter Shumlin, were instrumental in this important legislative victory."
