The socioeconomics of parenting are changing. The number of stay-at-home fathers in the past decade has doubled since the 1970s to about 550,000 men, and that figure is expected to grow, especially as more wives take on the breadwinning role in their marriages and the cost of childcare holds intolerable for many families.
I currently earn more than my husband and have, at times, romanticized over him supporting us as the primary caretaker in our growing family. What mother doesn't enjoy coming home to a home-cooked meal, clean house and bathed child? And more dad involvement is never a bad thing. The stronger the relationship between father and child, the happier the family is, according to a joint study by Brigham Young University and Utah State University.
On the other hand, though, quitting your job to be a stay-at-home parent carries a number of potential risks. And when that parent…

Good news for "Vice" watchers — the news magazine series has been renewed for two more seasons, HBO programming prexy Michael Lombardo announced Wednesday.
The show's third season on the premium cabler is slated to premiere 2015 with 14 episodes, followed by season four in 2016. The 14-episode order is an increase from the previous 12-episode seasons.
Along with host and "Vice" magazine founder Shane Smith, "Vice" correspondents travel the world to bring viewers overlooked and under-reported stories in a documentary style. The topics explored range from civil unrest and terrorism to government corruption and environmental catastrophes.
"The success of 'Vice' on HBO proves that people are hungry to be engaged in world events when the storytelling is not packaged into sound bites," Lombardo said in a statement. "'Vice's' smart, honest, in-depth approach to news coverage is a perfect complement to HBO's programming."
"We would like to say a big 'thank you' to HBO for…

I have lost count of how many times my kids have come home and said,
"Mrs. Juar…I mean Mommy?" Or "Mrs. Burkhol…ah, I mean Mommy!" Then they giggle and apologize. But, I don't think that's necessary.
And, it's not just this year. It has happened every year, at least once a week, since they started school.
Instead of getting upset or discouraged that they want to call me by their teachers name: it makes me feel good. I am totally ok with it. I can see why a teacher is easily confused with me…a Mommy.
These teachers take care of my kids all day long at school.

Hidatsa Red bean
More Information:

- Find Growers by State:
Oscar Will's published his book, The Pioneer Indian Collection of Seeds in 1915. In his book, Will's introduced the Hidatsa Red Bean to the American Public. This heirloom bean was originally obtained from the Hidatsa tribe of the Missouri River valley of North Dakota. Traditionally, the Hidatsa people collected the seeds after allowing the pods to dry on plant. Once the seeds were dry, they would manually break open each pod in order to collect the seeds. The Hidatsa Red Beans are dark red seeds that taste similar to a kidney bean.

Approximate Expected Delay Costs for Call and Contact Centre models under Light Traffic Regimes
AbstractThis paper studies the form of certain expected delay costs as a function of the arrival rate for customers who pass through a service facility that allows for reneging and retrials. We show that, under certain light traffic conditions, these costs are continuously increasing and convex functions of the arrival rate (within a finite interval). This result is first explored for the processor sharing system, in which a penalty cost is incurred for reneging from the service facility for good without ever receiving service, and then we consider a system with a more general structure governing the output processes and costs incurred per unit time, but without the penalty cost. A suggested application for these results, in which game theoretic considerations are utilized for gauging customer behaviour within a decentralized context, is briefly discussed.

As I write this, I'm on a plane. I knew I wouldn't have internet, so I asked myself what data could I pull and play with to help you play with your team. Let me play guarantee fairy again… I'm supposed to be writing about Deep Impact. I guarantee you can use this list to trade away pitchers that are over-performing for long term deep impact while targeting other pitchers that can provide you with more short-term value. Use the comments section below and I'll scold or virtual high-five your trade offers.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Jose Fernandez
Oh man, what a week for The Pitcher Profile! First we had Andrew Heaney called up right when last week posted, Danny Duffy stayed hot after a big ascent in the rankings, and then Rick Porcello throws 6 scoreless for his 9th win. Power of the Profile!
The cherry on top – Heaney was awesome in his debut. I've had him ranked since the very unfortunate TJ for Jose Fernandez, envisioning a rotation spot sooner than later. Then when he moved up to AAA (and subsequently dominated), I moved him into the top 50 calling him a must-own. Ahead of the hype! I was able to catch most of his debut live, and I've got to say, I've had some Game of Thrones-esque daydreams since. Some Will Ferrell with the blow-up doll moments… "You're my boy, B
lue Heaney!"
I'm all the more excited to go back into his sizzling debut for profiling this glorious Monday, and already have a new nickname for him: McDreamy. McDreamy Heaney! Wow, this is going too far… *clears throat and deepens voice* "Beer! Titties!" Here's how Heaney looked pitch-by-pitch in his first career MLB start:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Chris Sale is a monster. Before the season, Jay(Wrong) gathered and tallied the 2014 Official Razzball Picks. And I have to state, at this point, my choices are making me look stupid so far: ROY = Nick Castellanos; Sleeper = Justin Ruggiano; Come Back = Mitch Moreland (although he does still have an elite fly ball and home run average distance); Bust = Jose Bautista, not; MVPitcher = Danny Salazar (ugh).
One pick makes me still feel omniscient: Infatuation = Chris Sale.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Looking for the Razzball Podcast? TOO BAD! It's now Razzball Radio, and you can check out all the episodes here!
With only two (three if you are including the eventual death of Yordano Ventura's elbow) notable names going on the Disabled List this past week (Mike Napoli and Noah Syndergaard, who probably pulled something while pillaging a camp near the North Sea… HAHA Viking jokes, so good), things are looking a tad bit brighter. But not really, since there are still about 983 players currently on the DL according to my last count. Which seems low, but what do I know? Rudy does all my counting for me. And, as we took a moment this weekend, between relaxing and cooking stuff, to honor all the men and women, active, retired, and tragically lost while defending their county, in all the armed services, we should take a moment today to remember that Jose Fernandez is awesome. Prince Fielder, well, he's fat. Matt Wieters' elbow just seems to be one angry effer. Kris Medlen is strikingly average, but some Patrick Corbin could have been nice. Special thanks to Bobby Parnell for the wake he's left in New York. Jose Valverde… more like Jose LOLverde. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, which is probably the most apt metaphor ever. EVAAR. I mean, just check out my team's start of the season, in picture form:
So, after taking a moment yesterday to remember all of those brave souls that we've lost, and all those who have served and are serving now to preserve our way of life, let us take a moment today, Tuesday, to remember all the hamstrings that have been pulled, all the obliques that have exploded, and all the ulnar collateral ligament's that have just simply dropped dead, and honor their sacrifice. How did I honor them, you might ask? By doing what I usually do when perusing my leagues available player list…
My Fantasy Baseball brethen… 2014, the year of the DL… always remember.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I had it all setup, I was going to come on here and advocate you buying my favorite breakout player of 2014, Dallas Keuchel. I compared him to my favorite 90s wrestler Diamond Dallas Page. I even nicknamed Keuchel's slider the diamondcutter after Page's famous finishing move. There were fireworks, boobs, and jokes about the Mariners inability to hit lefties. I even fit in a jab at Teen Mom turned Pornstar Farrah Abraham's lack of understanding of Memorial Day. Well I guess I still got that! Then Bo Porter decided sometime between my bedtime and wakeup that he was going to push back my Southpaw Sweetheart. Well that's fine Bo Porter, I already thought you were a dink. In fact if I ever see you in person, I'm going to walk by you, wait until you are a safe distance away, and then say terrible things and run.
I all seriousness I can't blame you for this move Keuchel did throw 128 pitches on Monday. So it makes sense. Well anyway I'll just move on to another one of my favorite Aces in the making in Corey Kluber. His Manager is Terry Francona and he and I have an understanding because we both resemble personified turtles. He'd never do this to me!
Starting Kluber today will take some balls. He's going against the Orioles who have been scoring runs in bunches the last week or so. Maybe we'll get lucky and Chris Davis won't play to be with his wife, who's scheduled to give birth tomorrow. Even if Davis is in the lineup fear not; Corey K's is getting to the point of being matchup proof. With a K rate of 10.13 and a walk rate of 2.06 on the season he's pitching like an ace. He get's strikeouts in bunches and in his last 4 starts his k/9 is 12.4, that's a number that's tough to ignore. With a price of $10,300 he's not cheap but well worth the coin.
Before we proceed any further with this madness, let me get in a quick shameless plug. Did you start the season with a roster than included Prince Fielder? Jose Fernandez? Did you not listen to Grey and drafted Matt Moore? Have you been in a coma and completely forgot to change your roster and Mike Moustakas is your 3rd baseman? Well, get on over to Draftkings, sign up, and let good old Doctor Lifshitz be your guide. Bonus! I don't charge for prostate exams.Please, blog, may I have some more?
This is starting to get a little ridiculous now. It seems as if I can't even make it through my lunch break without hearing of some catastrophic injury news. No matter how well teams manage their young hurlers' inning limits (Jose Fernandez), or how many times we yell to ourselves, "Stop sliding head-first on the base paths!" (Ben Zobrist), the injuries just seem to keep piling up.
Maybe fantasy baseball owners should probably employ a handcuff system similar to the one used in fantasy football. In fact, come August, there may not even be enough players to fill out major league rosters. If Will Middlebrooks lands on the DL one more time, Julio Franco may be called upon to play the hot corner for the Red Sox.
Here are this week's injuries and other health-related situations to monitor…Please, blog, may I have some more?
In the past, I've gone out of my way to focus more on rookie hitters than pitchers, but after last year and living through season-after-season of diminishing offense, this is the world we live in. Before you blame anyone, look in the mirror. What do you see? Besides, the blackheads. You see someone that supported baseball ridding itself of PEDs. So, this is what we have. Pitching up the wazoo. I still contend it should be 'out the wazoo' and not 'up the wazoo,' but I'm playing by your rules now. I'm no longer sticking it to the man and going up the wazoo. Hmm, that sounded wrong, but never the hoo! Kevin Gausman just barely maintained rookie eligibility by only pitching 47 2/3 IP last year. Really showing a thing or two about not knowing what was coming or going either by having a 5.66 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. It really means nothing. First of all, his xFIP was 3.04, so his ERA shouldn't have even been that bad. Second of all, he had a 9+ K-rate, which is right in line what you can expect. Third of all, there is no third of all. Why would you think there was a third of all? Gausman isn't a 5+ ERA pitcher. He could be the best rookie pitcher this year. He has that kind of stuff. With the O's, you gotta mind your P's and Q's. Excuse me, I had Alphabet Soup for lunch and just burped. What I mean is the O's aren't in the best division for nurturing along a young starter. You have to be on the top of your game in the AL East. Gausman has the stuff to tame the big offenses. As I've tried to beat into your head, a pitcher with great control and strikeout stuff is worth your attention. Gausman is that type of pitcher. The only real question is do the O's stay with him in the rotation. If today's game vs. the Tigers is a spot start and back to the minors, it's not great. Opportunity + Stuff = Fudgie the Whale. Wow, my math is off there. It should've equaled "worth a flyer in all fantasy leagues to see if he stays in the rotation." To give you an idea of this guy's upside, in Prospect Scott's top 25 fantasy baseball prospects, the top five are Tanaka, Abreu, Bogaerts, Taijuan and then Gausman. That's elite company. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm going to live tweet this post: Tweet: #pitchingissodeep, we can lose every third starter and still have enough pitchers to go around. Tweet: Pitching isso deep? What's an isso? Tweet: Why do I care where you ate dinner? And why am I following you? Tweet: @SolangeKnowles I'd hold the elevator door for you. Tweet: Twitter bores me. I'm done with this. So, there you have it, our first live tweet post. I'm so hip; tweeting shizz like a baller! Why do I think ballers don't use many semi-colons? Is there a less hip punctuation mark? Jose Fernandez has an elbow sprain, which is code for you're fudged in the effhole if you own him. If you want, I'll form a prayer rhombus with you, but I gotta be honest, since I don't own him, my heart won't be in the rhombus. I'll be faking the rhombus. You're better off with someone else. Until Andrew Heaney is ready (June), the Marlins are likely to fill their empty rotation spot with Brad Hand or Kevin Slowey. Too bad they can't find room for both, then they can get The Pointer Sisters to sing, "I want a rotation with a Slowey, Hand." Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yu Darvish was outstanding last night, pitching 8.2 innings and allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out 12 Red Sox. Darvish brought his filthiest stuff to the park last night. No, not his magazine collection. Yu's pitches were overpowering the Sawx and the movement on his slider made him practically unhittable. Yu retired the first 20 batters he faced before David Ortiz reached on an error in the fifth inning, breaking up the perfect game. Regardless, Darvish dominated. He struck out six in a row at one point, which is like Craig Kimbrel getting a double save. Yu was one strike away from his first no-hitter, but David Ortiz pulled through again with a ground ball through the shift. D'ohvish. Damn you, Big Papi! Yu do not "Luv Ya Papi", but you're better off with J.Lo anyway, David. Poor Darvish suffered the same fate in his debut last April versus Houston, striking out 14 Astros through 8.2 innings before losing the perfect game with one out to go. So what does all this mean for your fantasy team? Not a whole lot, except if you own Darvish you're as happy as Pharrell in a new, big hat. Despite his bad luck, Darvish currently sports a lovely 10.49 K/9 to go along with his 1.08 WHIP, and it's those stats that will help your fantasy team a lot more than any perfect game will. But don't worry, Yu will get there some day.
Here's what else happened in fantasy baseball Friday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Seriously, I'm jonesing over here. David Price killed a small part of me yesterday in my lineups. Then Jake Arrieta went in with the dagger plunge on my lineups. And how the hell didn't I get Ian Kennedy in ONE lineup. Really, Sky? REALLY?!? Woah, hey Seth Meyers. Could ya go back to New York, I'm kinda doing my thing here. BTW, I loved you in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist…I'm joking, of course. I never watched that movie. But you know what I do watch? Baseball. And wanna know who's fun to watch and good at that? Jose Fernandez. Do I really need to make a huge selling point here? Alright, here it is. Jo-Fer is #1 in the major leagues with a 12.54 K/9 rate. The Friars hitters? Eighth worst K-rate as a team at 22.8%. I know, I know…I had you at 12.54 K/9. There's a reason he's the top rated pitcher on the night with a $12,800 price tag. Might be harder to justify in GPP but he's should be in every 50/50 you play for the day. Oh and BTW, just wanted to let you know, all y'all who signed up through our DraftKings sponsored link? To date, you've raked in over $38K. Yeah, that's too round of a number to be believed. It's actually $38,245. That's some mad bank. How much did you spend to earn that amount back? I don't know, I'm not your bookie. I'll just assume that if your thumbs aren't broken, you're doing well in the game of 'is it negative or is it positive'. My wife and I play that once a month around a Clear Blue. It's just as nerve-wracking and just as worrisome about the expenses associated. But bygones! Either way it's clear you all have great minds…or great tools like the DFSbot who's just an extension of Rudy Gamble's mind. Have we checked to see if Rudy is actually human yet himself? Anyways, just wanted to give you a well deserved congrats before we get on with the show. Here's my picks for Friday's DK contests for 2014 Fantasy Baseball…Please, blog, may I have some more?

Horse masks and dragon dances as West Wickham infants celebrate Chinese new year
12:28pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News By Patrick Grafton-Green, reporter
THE youngsters of West Wickham's Hawes Down Infant School brandished horse masks and performed a dragon dance as they celebrated Chinese new year.
All 221 pupils at the school, aged between four and seven years old, took part in the festivities last Friday (January 31).
Head teacher Janet Sturley said: "The children loved it - they are a creative lot.
"Our slogan is 'excellence and enjoyment' so we make sure children learn creatively, and Chinese new year was a great opportunity to do that.
"They made horse masks - this year is the year of the horse - and little kites and wrote happy new year in Chinese.
"We just had a really good Ofsted report, a strong good across the board, so it was a nice way to celebrate."

UW men's basketball and the NIT: Projections are split
Projections are split on the postseason fate of the Washington men's basketball team, with some forecasts saying the Huskies will make their third straight trip to the NIT and others saying they are out.
Seattle Times staff reporter
LAS VEGAS – Projections are split on the postseason fate for the Washington men's basketball team.
A couple of forecasts say the Huskies will make a third straight trip to the National Invitation Tournament.
The Bracket Project expects the Huskies will make a third straight trip to the National Invitation Tournament as the No. 6 seed facing No. 3 seed Missouri in the first round next week.
The projection was made before Washington's 67-61 loss to Utah on Wednesday in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament.
The early ouster bumped the Huskies out of the NIT, according to NYCbuckets.com. The website includes UW among 11 teams that just missed the tournament.
The Huskies would not accept a berth to the College Basketball Invitation.
"I know for me as well as the seniors we want to keep going," C.J. Wilcox said Wednesday.
The bracket, seeds and pairings for the 32-team tournament will be announced during the NIT Selection Show, which airs 5:30 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU.
It appears as if the Pac-12 will send six teams (Arizona, UCLA, Arizona State, Colorado, Oregon and Stanford) to the NCAA tournament. The conference receives about $250,000 for each team that plays in the Big Dance.
Meanwhile, 3-4 Pac-12 teams are projected to participate in the NIT, including Utah and California. Washington and Oregon State are on the bubble. The conference does not receive a payout for NIT berths.
"We want as many of our teams in the postseason as possible," Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said. "It helps in terms of exposure for our conference and for those it helps builds confidence."
• Wilcox earned NABC first-team All-District 20 honors. He was also captured first-team USBWA All-District IX accolades.

Several thousand official guests are received at the House annually.
Clarence House is a working residence and provides office accommodation for Their Royal Highnesses' official staff to support them in undertaking their public and charitable duties.
Clarence House was once the London home of Her Majesty The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, and The Duke of Edinburgh following their marriage in 1947 and of The Prince of Wales between the ages of one and three.
It was also the home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1953 to 2002. The Prince of Wales returned to Clarence House on 4th August 2003, the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's birth.
Clarence House is an important part of the nation's built heritage and, between 2002 to 2003, the House underwent essential renovation and redecoration.
The Royal Household Property Services carried out the refurbishment and worked with organisations including the Forest Stewardship Council to specify and buy sustainable materials and timber from responsibly managed forests. The internal decoration was carried out under the direction of the interior designer, Robert Kime.
Clarence House is usually open to the public between August and October each year, but in 2012 it will not open and will resume public openings in 2013. Visitors are given a guided tour of the five rooms and adjoining spaces on the ground floor. All tickets are timed and must be pre-booked. For further information or to book tickets visit the Royal Collection website.
Members of the public are able to see items from the Royal Collection and from the collection of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's collection is particularly strong in 20th Century British art, with important works by John Piper, Graham Sutherland, W. S. Sickert and Augustus John.
The decoration of the rooms retains the ambience created by The Queen Mother, and much of her collection of works of art and furniture are in their former positions.
The official residence of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is Kensington Palace. The couple's main home is their house on Anglesey, and their Household Office is based at St James's Palace.

Step-by-step guide to laying sod
Professionally grown sod is sturdy, dense, and virtually weed-free. Laying sod provides instant gratification ... no need to wait for seed!
Make your bed
Think of your lawn as a garden of grass. You need to prepare the soil before planting yoru garden. Your sod bed should be an inch or so lower than any walkways, so the new lawn will be even with sidewalks and driveways. Dig organic material and fertilizer into the soil, then work the area with a rake until it's smooth and level.

Lawmakers from Connecticut have joined more than 180 members of the U.S. House of Representatives to sign a special petition to reopen the federal government.
Originally published on Sat October 12, 2013 6:02 pm
President Obama hosted the Senate's leading Democrats at the White House for more than an hour Saturday afternoon, in a session that came the same day that Majority Leader Harry Reid met with Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell.
No details were available about the Democrats' discussion, which is one of several lines of communication that are aimed at reaching consensus on a budget deal. Earlier Saturday, House Speaker John Boehner said negotiations with the White House were over, after the president rejected the GOP's most recent plan.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which oversees the nation's one hundred nuclear reactors, has announced it will temporarily close its doors on Wednesday evening, due to the government shutdown. Safety operations will not be affected.
The severely backlogged benefits office of the federal VA is about to slow down again. That's because the VA announced its furloughing nearly 10,000 VBA workers including its IT department. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal issued a statement today in response to the news. He said many of the employees are veterans themselves.

In a press conference that lasted more than an hour, President Obama said he was willing to talk about anything, as long as Republicans reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling, even if its for a short period of time.
"Let's stop the excuses. Let's take a vote in the House. Let's end this shutdown, right now; let's put people back to work" Obama said.
President Barack Obama is delivering a statement and taking questions from the press at the White House starting today at 2:00 pm. Watch live below.
Wednesdays are usually reserved for our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse. Just like last week, the big story is the federal government shutdown. From outside Washington, it doesn't look like Congress and President Obama is any closer to reaching a deal. We talk with political observers about the shutdown and what needs to be done (or will be done) to resolve this.
Who do you think needs to budge to reach a deal? House Republicans? Or President Obama and Senate Democrats?
Connecticut's federal public defender, Terence Ward, said money to fund his office may run out early next week if the government shutdown continues. "The shutdown, it's a nightmare," he said. During the first ten business days of the shutdown, his office of 17 employees is operating on funds money from court fees.

The work that Shaun O'Connell does is required by law, yet now he's sidelined by the government shutdown.
O'Connell reviews disability claims for the Social Security Administration in New York, checking that no one's gaming the system, while ensuring people with legitimate medical problems are compensated properly.
Billions of dollars are at stake with this kind of work, yet O'Connell is considered a nonessential employee for purposes of the partial government shutdown.
It's day three of the federal government shutdown. While lack of funding is having a major impact across the country and here in Connecticut, it's not the only financial reality getting new attention. UConn's affordability is under scrutiny today, and one school system in the state is struggling to stay open after suffering a massive theft under investigation. This is The Wheelhouse Digest.
The government shutdown has caused the furlough of 750 civilian workers from the Naval Submarine Base New London. Connecticut Congressman Joe Courtney, whose district includes the sub base, said these workers don't deserve to be caught in the crossfire of national politics.
The effects of the federal shutdown have begun to ripple across Connecticut. In Bridgeport, 13 Head Start sites have been closed, leaving needy families scrambling.

From Acadia in Maine to Zion in Utah to the North Cascades in Washington, America's 401 national park areas have gates blocking entrance roads.
The last remaining campers and hotel guests in the parks must leave Thursday, and park rangers will patrol to keep others out.
The national parks "belong to the American people, and the American people should have the right to come in," says National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis. "But the only way I can protect these places during this period is to shut them down."
On today's episode of The Wheelhouse we're covering the hot political topics of the day, crunched together here in a quick-to-skim format, including how Access Health CT did on its unveiling: despite technical glitches, more enrollments came through than expected. This is The Wheelhouse Digest.

When a government shutdown loomed in 2011, the Twitterverse had some fun with #govtshutdownpickuplines.
They're back!
Here are some of the better, slightly naughty ones we're seeing (we also also checked #shutdownpicklines):
Originally published on Tue October 8, 2013 2:08 pm
Update at 8:18 p.m. ET. Impasse:
As first day of a federal government shutdown came to a close, Congress was not any closer to a resolution.
Case in point: Republicans in the House proposed three bills that would have reopened national parks, the Department of Veteran's Affairs and kept the D.C. government afloat. But all three bills didn't even make it out of the House.
NPR's Steve Inskeep interviewed President Obama on Monday about the looming government shutdown, the upcoming debt ceiling fight and more. A full transcript of the interview follows:
STEVE INSKEEP: As you have watched what's happening in Congress, do you feel that House Republicans are coming any closer to anything that you could sign?
Monday's Highlights:
Only hours before a partial shutdown of the federal government would take effect, House Republicans still hadn't arrived at a temporary spending bill that Senate Democrats were willing to approve to keep government workers on the job. A closure appeared inevitable.
On Monday afternoon, Senate Democrats rejected a stopgap spending bill passed by the House over the weekend because it contained anti-Obamacare measures that Democrats found objectionable.
Originally published on Mon September 30, 2013 10:09 pm
With just hours to go before a potential government shutdown, President Obama said there is still a window to avert it.
"There's still an opportunity, during the course of this day to avert a shutdown and make sure that we are paying our bills," Obama said in an interview with NPR.
But when asked if any proposal from the House is closer to something he would approve, Obama said flatly, "No."
Originally published on Mon September 30, 2013 11:56 pm
Not even an hour after the House voted in favor of a bill that would avert a shutdown of the federal government, but also delay a key part of President Obama's Affordable Care Act, the Senate rejected it with a vote of 54-46.
With less than an hour before the government runs out of authority to spend money, the ball is now back in the court of Speaker John Boehner in the House.
Connecticut's budget office is working with state agencies to prepare for a possible shutdown of the federal government. In a letter last week to agency heads, Office of Policy and Management Secretary Benjamin Barnes said if Congress fails to reach a budget deal, there could be "significant impact" on staff and programs that rely on federal funding.
Originally published on Sun September 29, 2013 12:10 pm
The federal government has moved closer to the brink of a shutdown, as the House of Representatives approved a temporary funding bill Saturday night that the Senate and White House say has no chance of becoming law.
The House bill would avert the budget deadline at midnight Monday by funding the U.S. government into December. But it also includes a one-year delay of Obamacare — a provision that Democrats and some Republicans say has no place in a stopgap funding bill.
Originally published on Sun September 29, 2013 8:52 am
Updated at 12:24 a.m. ET Sunday
The House voted early Sunday to tie government funding to a one-year delay in implementing Obamacare, sending the dispute back to the Senate, where it is certain to get a frosty reception. The House measure also repeals the Affordable Care Act's tax on medical devices.
In a rare weekend session, Congress will continue to debate how to avoid a government shutdown. The Senate voted along party lines for a temporary spending bill that would keep the government from shutting down next week. But Senate Democrats stripped a provision that would defund Obamacare, something House Republicans insist upon.
Originally published on Fri September 27, 2013 6:32 pm
Update At 3:50 p.m. EDT.
President Obama on Friday praised the Senate for passing a spending bill to keep the federal government operating and called House GOP efforts to tie approving the measure to defunding the Affordable Care Act "political grandstanding."
He said that despite Republican hopes that Obamacare will be repealed, "That's not going to happen," accusing Republicans of threatening to "blow up the entire economy."
No one has the right to precipitate such a crisis, he said, "just because there are a couple of laws you don't like."
Connecticut is doing a little bit better getting ready for rainy days, we learned from Kevin Lembo this week, but when there's fair weather, the state legislature made sure we won't be generating energy from wind turbines anytime soon. Read about that and more in today's Wheelhouse Digest... where UConn has us thinking about the legality of digesting hemp brownies.
After a dramatic 21-plus hours in which Republican Sen. Ted Cruz stood to express his opposition to President Obama's health care programs, the Senate early Wednesday afternoon voted 100-0 to move ahead and take up legislation that would avert a government shutdown next Tuesday.
As expected, the move by the Democratic-led Senate sets up what promises to be another showdown with the Republican-controlled House.
Today at The Wheelhouse Digest, there's a lot of talk of shutting down and tightening up. Maybe it's the cooler weather, or maybe it's a new mentality pushing us to block things from happening. In that vein, there's an effort at hand to consider the Associated Press's request to release 911 recordings in the wake of the Newtown shooting last year. Read about that and more in today's digest.

Well, it's almost Oct. 1, the day of a threatened government shutdown and the day state health insurance exchanges are scheduled to begin operations.
Those are the online marketplaces created by the Affordable Care Act where people can compare health plans and sign up for coverage.
Would closing down the government delay the opening of the health exchanges?
Originally published on Mon September 30, 2013 9:29 pm
There's a showdown underway in Congress.
The Republican-controlled House has voted to keep the government running only if the Affordable Care Act is defunded, and the Democratic-controlled Senate isn't likely to go along with that plan. If the two sides can't resolve their differences by Oct. 1, the U.S. government will shut down.
We asked you what you wanted to know about the potential government shutdown, and journalists from NPR's Washington Desk tracked down the answers:

La Fontaine De Mars - Upstairs ??
Is the UPSTAIRS at La Fontainea comfortable place to dine ? I have enjoyed dinner at La Fontaine in the past, but nenver seen the upstairs. I'm leery of upstairs at any place as it can seem remote, separate, not part of the ambience etc. We have a group of 12 and La Fontaine says we can only be upstairs. Any advice on this?
Upstairs is quite acceptable, it is nonsmoking and where they tend to put English speaking tourists. As I recall, the space is small, perhaps 6 tables, but that was before the recent renovations.

Klitschko Huge Favorite Over Sosnowski
Boxing fans could have a slaughter on their hands this weekend when Vitali Klitschko steps into the ring to face challenger Albert Sosnowski.
Klitschko puts his WBC World Heavyweight title on the line against Sosnowski, but something shocking would likly have to happen for him to lose it. All the experts and the odds makers expect this one to be completely one-sided and to end quickly if Klitschko can land a few powerful shots on Sosnowski.
The latest odds have Klitschko listed as a -4000 favorite, which should tell you just how the fight is expected to go. Anyone looking to lose a few dollars can bet on Sosnowski at +1100.

Klitschko enters this weekend's bout sporting a 39-2 record with 37 wins by knockout. He last fought in December against Kevin Johnson and won by unanimous decision. Klitschko controlled the fight from the opening bell and Johnson never had a chance while constantly covering up and fighting a defensive style to avoid taking a hard shot from Klitschko and end up in the canvas.
Sosnowski has a respectable record 45-2-1 with 27 wins by KO, but he's never beaten anyone of Klitschko's caliber. The only reason he's even showing up on Klitschko's radar is because of wins over Francesco Pianeta and Paolo Vidoz, neither of which was anything to write home about.
Sosnowski also has rather embarrassing losses to the likes of Zuri Lawrence, who doesn't come close to matching Klitschko's size, power or skill in the ring.
If you need more proof that this fight likely won't go the distance look at the latest over/under round odds. The total for the over/under was set at 9.5 round. Not that unusual, but the odds definitely are.
The Under is heavily favored at -300, while the Over is listed at +220. Look for the Under to pay when Klitschko puts Sosnowski down by the sixth round.

Fergus Cullen: Repeal frenzy in Concord undermines the concept of settled law
In 2011, the new Republican majority reversed a State House gun ban enacted by the previous Democratic majority. The first thing the new Democratic majority did last month was reinstate the ban.
Last year Republicans in the Legislature teamed up with the then all-Republican Executive Council to kill funding for a wasteful study on commuter rail. With Democrats now in charge of both bodies, the boondoggle is back from the dead and on track for passage.
The last Legislature cut the state cigarette tax by ten cents. The new Democratic majority looks certain to restore that cut and then some. The last Legislature expanded the state's existing castle doctrine, allowing people to use deadly force while defending themselves not just in their homes, but in most public places. The new Legislature may repeal the change.
This sort of political ping-pong is a relatively recent phenomenon in New Hampshire. It didn't used to happen because control of the New Hampshire Legislature never changed between the parties. Republicans dominated since the Old Man of the Mountain was a kid.
Those days ended in 1998, when Democrats rode Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's coattails to a 13-11 majority in the state Senate. That tenuous majority was short-lived: Republicans earned back a tie when Tom Eaton won a special election in Keene and they regained the majority the following year, but it was a harbinger. The permanent majority was no more. In 2006, Democrats took control of both chambers of the Legislature. The GOP got control back in 2010, and last year Democrats retook the House, but not the Senate.
The result is there is no such thing as settled law anymore. The last Legislature repealed the state's minimum wage law. The new Legislature is poised to repeal the repeal. The last Legislature passed a voter ID law. The new Legislature will vote on repeal.
It's not always bad to revisit past laws. Abolishing slavery and prohibition come to mind. The last Legislature repealed, in bipartisan fashion, the LLC tax crafted by then-state Sen. Maggie Hassan. It tried to end New Hampshire's participation in the failed Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The new majority did the right thing last month when it got rid of the Redress of Grievances Committee, itself reinstituted two years earlier, which had become a forum for angry dads with axes to grind against judges and ex-wives.
Nor is it bad to remeasure support for perennial issues when popular sentiment is shifting over time. Support for observing Martin Luther King Day grew for years before it passed. Efforts to repeal the death penalty advanced in 2000 and 2009, stopped by veto threats from Govs. Shaheen and John Lynch. Now New Hampshire has a death row inmate and new Gov. Hassan favors repeal.
But most repeal efforts in Concord these days are more about ideology and symbolism than they are about sound public policy. In too many cases laws are being reversed before they are given a chance to work, or the repeal seems motivated by grudges against former House Speaker Bill O'Brien and his pet causes.
A case in point is the Democratic effort to repeal New Hampshire's new education scholarship tax credit, a pilot program that offers hope for access to better schools to a couple hundred children. The program hasn't even been implemented yet and Democrats are already suffocating it in the crib. This repeal effort puts Democratic loyalty to teachers unions ahead of kids.
Republicans have made their own mistakes pushing repeals on ideological grounds. Last March, social conservatives tried to repeal New Hampshire's gay marriage law, asking legislators to take away a right that had already been bestowed. The measure failed when a majority of Republicans voted against it, suggesting the majority should never have taken the measure up in the first place.
Voters have little patience for Legislatures they perceive as more interested in scoring ideological points than improving people's lives, and constant repeal efforts can wear out a new majority's good will in a hurry.

EMR Safety Warnings at CA Health System Echo Joint Commission's
"We're unable to document our medication administration correctly," said Lee Ann Fagen, RN. Last week's testimony centered on the possible harm averted when a nurse realized that the Epic system was recommending a possibly fatal dosage of a heart medication.
Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center also operates a 164-bed hospital, and although the testimony last week centered on outlying clinics at three county detention facilities, sources inside the hospital tell me that EMR-related safety concerns are high within the hospital as well.
Because the health system has a policy forbidding unauthorized contact with the media, I cannot identify them.
Communication woes
But both management and workers agree that communication at the hospital about the new EMR has been inadequate. "Epic is a tool, but it does not replace the skill and the knowledge and the experience of our staff, who are in fact, the most powerful components of our safety system," says Anna Roth, RN, CEO of Contra Costa Health Services. "I'm thankful that our staff is diligent."
That diligence comes at a cost, however. I'm told that some documentation that used to take two hours has been known to take four hours now. That translates either as less time spent at the bedside, or as a labor force that is more overworked than before the EMR went live.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Orlando, FL – Despite the challenges that hospitals and health systems face, children's hospitals must continue to think big about what's possible for kids, said Kurt D. Newman, MD, president and CEO of Children's National Health System of Washington, DC. Newman addressed more than 1,000 hospital leaders, corporate and media partners, philanthropists, and fundraisers at the annual "Celebration" conference at the Walt Disney World® Resort's Coronado Springs Resort.
While acknowledging the uncertainty of the current health environment, Newman asked corporate leaders and other philanthropists to "challenge us to think bigger, to be more ambitious. To focus not just on where the need is today, but where the promise is tomorrow." He also challenged other pediatric leaders to "move beyond just closing the gaps. Dare to re-imagine and even revolutionize the children's experience in your hospitals."
Philanthropy must play a dual role of funding big ideas and meeting immediate needs, he said. "The business model is changing, and we need philanthropy to help us close the gap where our operations fall short. Obviously, these big changes are affecting all hospitals and health systems, not just pediatrics. But the need is even greater in children's hospitals."
Newman explained that children's hospital are different because of the need to pay for many things that aren't reimbursed, such as art and music programs, special activities like birthday parties, and child life specialists who support to children and the entire family.
"These things may or may not be considered necessary from a medical perspective. But they're essential to providing the kind of care that's right for kids," Newman said. "These are the things that tell a family, 'This is a special place for kids.' And they're getting harder to provide."
Newman's speech at CMN Hospitals' Celebration conference kicked off a two-day symposium for 170 children's hospitals across the United States and Canada on how to face healthcare challenges while raising funds and awareness to benefit children.
Children's National Health System, based in Washington, DC, has been serving the nation's children since 1870. Children's National's hospital is Magnet® designated, and is consistently ranked among the top pediatric hospitals by U.S.News & World Report. Home to the Children's Research Institute and the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, Children's National is one of the nation's top NIH-funded pediatric institutions. With a community-based pediatric network, eight regional outpatient centers, an ambulatory surgery center, two emergency rooms, an acute care hospital, and collaborations throughout the region, Children's National is recognized for its expertise and innovation in pediatric care and as an advocate for all children.

Through support from Baby's First Test, Children's National created videos in five languages to help new and expectant parents learn the importance of screening newborns for critical heart disease.
A preclinical study led by researchers at Children's National Medical Center has found that a new oral drug shows early promise for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation received a grant from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to form the National Capital Consortium for Pediatric Device Innovation.
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) welcomed Paramjit T. Joshi, MD, as the its newest president.

Australian Tamil Congress strongly condemns the statement made by Prime Minister Tony Abbott that Sri Lanka is at peace after end of civil war and that there has been a lot of progress when it comes to human rights and the rule of law in Sri Lanka. Prime Minister's comment is a particularly shameful and obsequious brand of appeasement by Australia, and it wrongly elevates the politics of perceived national interest over widespread concerns about human rights and rule of law in Sri Lanka.
Furthermore, this statement is in stark contrast to those from our close allies such as US, UK, Canada and other progressive Western Nations, all of which have adopted a consistent and principled position of being highly critical of the human rights situation in Sri Lanka. It is commonly accepted that the human rights record of the Sri Lankan government is appalling, and for this reason, Sri Lanka is under increasing scrutiny of the International Community.
In the recent past the Australian governments have not adopted strong positions on human rights violations in Sri Lanka, primarily due to their need for cooperation with the Sri Lankan government in handling the asylum seeker issue. However, it is important that Australia maintains a healthy de-link between these two issues, and such an enlightened policy approach is not only principled, but also in Australia's long term national interest by promoting genuine transformation and reconciliation in Sri Lanka.
Australian Tamil Community is deeply concerned about the fate of the Tamil refugees, and in particular, about the reports that they have been handed back to the Sri Lankan Navy in mid-sea. If these reports are correct, it will be a travesty to Australia's foreign policy, and more importantly, this will be a serious breach of the accepted international norms and obligations that will bring long-lasting shame to the country we proudly call ours.
