I hate anything deep fried, but I've been known to go to a fair just for the cotton candy.
Sounds like the perfect snack....when you're stoned.
As far as I'm concerned, the State Fair of Texas is the king of fried crap. I had fried oreos last year and it was the most unsatisfying meal ever. It was gross.
They also introduced fried butter at the fair last year, but I did not try it. Supposedly they 'flavor' the butter then fry it. Apparently it was really popular. Yuck.
And I love fried pickles. One of my favorite things to eat!!
ETA: LOLOLOL I forgot Texas also loves to fry liquids. My dad has had the fried coke and my mom has had the fried cappuccino.
But to be honest, when I was a pre-teen and being greatly under the influence of the James Bond movies, I had great urgings for "pickle martinis." This was composed of a short glass full of pickle juice from the jar and a small slice of pickle for garnish. To this day, I could drink a cup of juice especially from a kosher dill jar of pickles. It's one of my favorite things in the world! Call me weird..you won't be the first.... But pickle juice is delicious and a way lot less fattening than anything fried.

Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur
I'm from the Deep South. I love fried chicken/chicken fried steak/chicken fried chicken, as well as Krispy Kreme Donuts. However, the thought of putting those two things together along with all that other crap sounds absolutely revolting
If I'm going to harden my arteries (I've pretty much cut fried stuff out of my diet), give me a platter of hot, crispy fried green tomatoes (dredged/battered in salt-and-peppered flour by god, not in corn meal), with a tangy rémoulade. Fried dill pickles are outstanding, but I'll take hot and crispy fried okra (once again, dredged in seasoned flour) and cooked to the point that it nearly crumbles - if they could make that to order at the movie theatre, I'd eat a bucket of true Southern fried okra over oil-drenched "buttered" popcorn any day of the week.
One of my Aunt's adores fried snickers bars, but for me?
The Tulsa State Fair did deep fried butter this year
I like the deep fried cheese curds, but I can only handle a few at a time.
I don't like grilled corn on the cob, but I'm just weird that way. Everyone else raved about it. I don't even like it when my sister makes it on the grill, which is saying something. I'll take mine boiled, please.
That is an awesome flea market. We went to the car show a few weeks ago and didn't realize that they had a flea market every weekend. Too much temptation and I already have exceeded my new home's "crapacity" so I won't be going back anytime soon.
Ice cream made by NC State from their on-campus dairy is out of this world and not costly. They were near the foot bridge and exit.
The Richmond County Fair on Staten Island is smaller-scale and lots of fun, including the rides and delicous treats. I love the racing pigs!
Deep fried butter - I could justify eating this because (a) I like butter a lot since I moved "down heah" and (b) I'd pass it off as fried cheese, which is socially acceptable.
I was in a Brooklyn cheese store last weekend and they had a basket on the counter filled with "Mozzarella en Carrozza" - deep-fried grilled cheese sandwiches made with mozzarella. If I hadn't already bought my lunch at the pork store (Sausage rolls...delish), I would have picked up a few.
In the interest of presenting healthy eating options, my kids insist on buying peeled, cored apples every time we go to the fair. While they like the spiral cut most of all, they do start off eating well. I'm glad the little frontier cabin's near the entrance. The bees and yellow jackets appreciate the apple juice that spills on the ground, too.

So doing it once, and getting exercise while you do it, might not have lasting effects.
I've been to the Texas state fair, and I want to go to the Iowa one before I move. Rogers & Hammerstein say it's the best state fair in the state
Man, now I want fried pickles. I don't think of those as fair food though- but as an appetizer. But they have to be pickle rounds, spears the "fry to pickle" ratio is all wrong.
3539 and counting.

Cyn, if you get anywhere near Duluth (GA) have lunch at the Park Cafe. They have the best friend green tomatos anywhere in my experience!
And yes, okra fried very crispy with just a little flour dusting and lots of salt....that beats popcorn any day of the week, and it's good for you! Well, outside of the oil it's fried in, but if properly fried very very hot in a "healthier" vegetable oil and drained extremely well....there's not much fattening oil, either. When I fry up a batch, I use a whole bottle of vegetable oil, and I drain the left-overs back into the container when cooled to throw away more easily. I never have more than a tablespoon that actually got soaked into the 3-4 cups of sliced okra as a result of cooking--thus proving that fried foods can be not as fattening as you think.

We have a DelMarVa Chicken festival every year -- my favorite is fried chicken from this (scroll down):
My friend's family company produced the original pan. Apparently, it was surpassed in size by some other state so they retired it and made a bigger one.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.

First it was , now locally produced Onyx Moonshine has been selected as the exclusive spirit for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards official gift bags.
The founders of the company, Adam von Gootkin and Peter Kowalczyk, announced the news in a press release Wednesday afternoon.
"We've only been open a few months and it's amazing to see how many people are excited to try our moonshine," von Gootkin said in a statement, noting that a bottle of Onyx Moonshine will be given to performers and presenters on the night of the cermony. "We're extremely proud that a Connecticut product has been selected and that we'll have an opportunity to show America what authentic moonshine with an ultra premium twist tastes like."
Onyx Moonshine is distilled and bottled in small batches . The co-founders say it is made from a secret recipe of mixed grains and freshly drawn Connecticut spring water and is the first moonshine to be legally made in Connecticut since Prohibition.
"Many people don't know that Connecticut and New England have a rich history of active moonshiners and speakeasies operating during Prohibition," Kowalczyk said in a statement. "Connecticut did not want Prohibition. This is a story that has never been told up north, and that's what we're trying to do by bringing moonshine back."
The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards will be held on Feb. 12, 2012, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast on CBS at 8 p.m. EST.

NEWTOWN SQUARE–The following information has been provided by Newtown Township Police Chief Chris Lunn.
On Tuesday, Jan. 22, Newtown police investigated a residential burglary on Boot Road. An unknown actor(s) forced entry through the front door of the unoccupied home. Once inside, they went to the master bedroom and stole jewelry. Neighboring townships have also experienced similar burglaries during the last two weeks.
A common tactic used by these types of burglars is to find a house where it appears that no one is home and knock on the front door. If no one answers the front door, they go to a back door and knock on that door.
If no one answers they force entry into the house, go to the master bedroom and look for jewelry. If someone does answer the door they make up an excuse as to why they are at the house, usually asking for a person that does not live there.
We are asking residents to be on the look out for people knocking on doors and/or walking around houses. If you see anyone suspicious in your neighborhood, call 911 and report as much information about the person(s) as possible.
If you have an alarm system, please use it. Keep any expensive jewelry somewhere other than the master bedroom and keep an eye out for your neighbors.

On draught at In De Wildeman, appearence is dark brown with a small tan head leaving very heavy lace.
Smell is sweet, sugary, grapes.
Taste is very sweet and fruity. Intense grape esters remind me of Abbey De Rocs.
Mouthfeel is sticky but light.
Drinkability is high for me, a lovely beer with lots of fruity esters, which I love, accentuating the sugars without being to cloying.

Bottle served into a Ciney goblet in a cafe in Brussels, Belgium. Reviewed from notes taken June 2011. Cost was 3.00 euro.
A: Pours a one finger head of nice cream, good thickness, and average retention. Colour is a nontransparent dark brown.
Sm: Caramel, hops, cream, and light toffee.
T: Nice cream on the finish. Caramel, toffee, and full barley come through. Very pleasant. Some nutty hops. Very balanced. Well built, with good layering - especially of the malts. Attention was paid to this beer. No alcohol comes through.
Mf: Creamy, smooth, and wet. Too high an ABV to be refreshing. Complementary of the flavours on the body.
Dr: High ABV, good quality, and very fair pricing. I'd have this again for sure. Recommended for fans of dubbels.

33cl bottle into a Ciney goblet.
A: Clear dark ruby-brown body under a solid 2-finger head of creamy tan foam. Good retention, lots of lace. Nice.
S: Strong aroma mixing chocolatey malt, rasiny fruit, and spicy booze in equal measure. Solid, but unremarkable.
T: Raw malt up front, with some sweet raisin fruitiness fallin in behind, a bit of metallic twang, and a clean, lightly boozy finish. The metallic flavors are unwelcome, but it's otherwise good.
M: Very lively, frothy, effervescent medium body. Ok.
O: Not a great beer, but not a bad one either.

25cl into a tulip. Pours a dark cola, deep garnet when back lite. Dense mocha colored head, nice sheet lacing.
Aroma is of spicy dark fruits, hints of ginger, clove and port.
Taste is fairly strong of raisins and figs backed by quiet roasted caramel. Flavor matches the scent. Aftertaste is short lived. Improves with warmth as vinous qualities appear. Smooth medium bodied mouthfeel.

A 250ml bottle with a BB date of July 2011. I bought this in a supermarket in Brussels last September.
Poured into a Stella chalice. A rich chestnut-brown colour with good clarity. Medium carbonation, with a column of fine bubbles rising from the centre of the glass. Forms an enormous off-white head that has good retention; this subsides to leave a surface film. The aroma is sweet, with hints of malt and some sourness. A whiff of alcohol.
The flavour is rather sweet, with notes of dark malt, yeast and a slight sourness. The 7% abv is well hidden. No bitterness to balance out the taste. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, though smooth. Leaves a dryness on the palate, and a faintly acrid aftertaste.
The taste is dominated by a cloying sweetness and lacks balance. Malt and hops just don't make themselves known as components of this beer's character. Drinkable but not exemplary - the blonde is nicer.

Brownish with a slight scent of roasted malt and cellar. On the palate, it appears much softer, watery enough to be honest, and therefore quite easy to drink. Some traces of malt are present (with a subtle scent of meat) but this is unfortunately a bit too light to qualify as a dark beer tasting.
Serving type: on-tap

"But for us Democrats, Obamacare is a badge of honor." – HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
Health insurance companies are seeking and winning double-digit increases in premiums for some customers, even though one of the biggest objectives of the Obama administration's health care law was to stem the rapid rise in insurance costs for consumers.
Particularly vulnerable to the high rates are small businesses and people who do not have employer-provided insurance and must buy it on their own.
In California, Aetna is proposing rate increases of as much as 22 percent, Anthem Blue Cross 26 percent and Blue Shield of California 20 percent for some of those policy holders, according to the insurers' filings with the state for 2013.
Ironically, Anthem's 2010 increases were the reason Obamacare was introduced…
But wait, weren't we told ObamaCare prevented rises in health insurance costs?
Q: Will this new insurance regulation drive up my health insurance costs?
A: No. The grandfather rule is designed to preserve the ability of Americans to keep their current plan if they like it, while providing new benefits. Other provisions of the Affordable Care Act aim to make health insurance premiums more affordable.
Bawahahahahaha! So not only will we be hit with higher insurance premiums, we'll also be hit with the higher taxes stemming from Obamacare.

Hardcore veterans (hed)p.e. return with their seventh, and most political album yet — the driving New World Orphans. Billing themselves as the leaders of the truth movement, (hed)p.e. have taken it upon themselves to educate the world's youth about the corruption in the world.
Indeed, right from the outset, (hed)p.e. wastes no time in delivering its message. "New World Intro" tells the listener they had "better wake up and understand that there are people who are guiding your life and you don't even know it." On "Ordo (ab Chao)," the band instruct President Bush to "come out with his hands up" before slamming into a riff that would be at home on Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power. It's not all metal though. The verses are melodic, with hints of reggae and combine elements of rap and hardcore over an ever-changing musical landscape. Lyrically, the song speaks about how the government uses fear to intimidate the masses.
"Stay Ready," which features Dirtball, blends rap, metal and sing-along choruses in a song that tells of alien conspiracies and warns the listener not to believe anything they hear in the fake news. "Family" starts out as fast-paced punk before breaking down into a rap song. Stylistically, it's a shock to the system to hear the very different styles juxtaposed against each other, but the band makes it work, shifting gears on a dime. It's songs such as "Family" that make it hard to classify (hed)p.e.'s music. Is it metal? Is it rap? Is it reggae? Is it punk? It's all of the above with the only constant being the intense lyrics.
New World Orphans also features guest appearance from N9ne on "Work on This," a song about the media's portrayal of sex in the world and quotes Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy." The Kottonmouth Kings make an appearance on "Higher Ground," a '70s-style funk tune extolling the virtues of pot.
(hed)p.e.'s lyrics can get heavy handed, and if as a listener, you aren't ready to incite a riot or challenge the government, can get old very quickly. However, the band is well informed about their topics and attempt to present an alternative to the mainstream news. They don't want the listener to be comfortable. They want them to think.
Musically speaking, New World Orphans is about as diverse as it gets, combining multiple styles and genres, often in the same song. In a day of cookie-cutter music, (hed)p.e. is anything but.
Release Date – January 13, 2009

We like to stroll along the beach, stop at the Hotel Del Coronado for an ice cream cone or a drink in their bar or hang out downtown - and if you're the curious type, we think the excellent Coronado Walking Tour is one of the best we've taken anywhere, equal parts dishy gossip and interesting history.
Coronado is across the San Diego Bay west of downtown San Diego. Ferries can take you to Coronado from there, but the landing is too far from the main part of town for all but the hardiest walkers. The Hop On-Hop Off Trolley stops here as well as other sights, and it's a good way to get around town without driving and parking hassles. You can order your trolley tickets from kijubi.com. You can also drive across the Coronado Bridge, which gives the most schedule flexibility and allows you to run down to Imperial Beach if you feel like it.
Pros and ConsWe like Coronado because it's just so darned cute, but with driving being the most convenient way to get there, parking can be an ordeal.
More About CoronadoIf you need more information, check the Complete Guide to Visiting Coronado. It will tell you what you shouldn't miss, tip you off to more great things to do, where to eat and where to stay.
Take a photo tour of Coronado to see what it's like.

The caveat with oats- be sure to buy gluten free oats to avoid cross-contamination with wheat and add them slowly to your diet to be sure you can tolerate them. Some Celiacs can't.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
- 1 1/4 cups gluten free oats (I use "certified" gluten free oats)
- 1/4 cup fresh ground oatmeal (see tips)
- 1/4 cup amaranth
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon guar gum OR xanthan gum
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup milk or coconut milk
- 2 lightly beaten large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Add yogurt, milk, eggs and vanilla and stir until mixture is creamy.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Place 1 teaspoon butter or light olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. On medium heat, warm the pan until the butter melts.
- Pour about 1/2 cup pancake batter into the hot pan and cook until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip and cook until second side is golden brown.
- Serve with maple syrup, toasted chopped pecans, walnuts or fresh fruit.
Makes about 12 5-inch pancakes.

Sociology is a perspective on and the study of social life. Humans are first and foremost social animals who organize themselves into a variety of social forms depending on social and historical circumstances. A necessary condition for full participation in social life is the ability to understand, explain and evaluate these social forms or societies.
Sociology is the scientific and critical study of how and why modern societies operate the way they do, including the relationships among the various social institutions; how and why societies influence what individuals can do, including the development of self; and how and why individuals produce and reproduce (socially construct) social life through everyday activities

Lyme Disease Practice
Dr. Cameron's Office - Page 1
Interview with Dr. Cameron - Combining primary care with Lyme diseaseI
have been blessed to combine my primary care practice with my work with Lyme disease. I enjoy the balancing act of seeing patients with such diverse conditions as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, heart disease, migraines, depression, and prostate issues, as well as those with acute and chronic Lyme disease.
I included Lyme disease in my practice in 1988 after caring for my first three patients with chronic Lyme disease. It was also around this time that Alan Steere, M.D. [the Yale rheumatologist who first reported on Lyme disease in 1975], published a report on neurologic Lyme disease in the November 1990 New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Steere described neurologic disease symptoms including fatigue, poor memory and concentration, sleep disturbance, and irritability. I had also been seeing patients with neurologic Lyme disease in my practice.
At that time I didn't have an understanding of the epidemic nature of chronic Lyme disease. In fact, it wasn't until the Spring of 1992, when I completed my first follow-up study, that I understood how widespread this illness was becoming, and how many people with Lyme disease developed persistent and recurrent symptoms.
One of the most disturbing things about those early years was that you could tell we were confronting a disease that would affect vast numbers of people, yet physicians were behaving as if nothing was happening. I was alarmed at the lack of caring I saw. Something that's very heartening to see is that a growing number of professionals who been involved with Lyme disease since the late 1980's have formed an International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). I stay involved because I know so many people who are chronically sick."

MANKATO — New York historian and author Walt Bachman is direct in his assessment of the Blue Earth County Historical Society and its director, Jessica Potter.
"I've dealt with lots and lots of historical societies, and I've never encountered another historical society like this that is just (involved in) out and out censorship."
Bachman, who practiced law in Minnesota for decades before moving to New York, has extensively researched and written about the U.S.-Dakota War.
Bachman clashed with the Blue Earth County Historical Society a few years ago after asking for more information about a purported beam from the gallows in the county's collection. He said Potter didn't provide information and tried to keep him from writing about the beam.
"It was well-intentioned censorship, which is the most pernicious censorship — people who think they have a just reason for denying things to people," Bachman said recently in a telephone interview with The Free Press.
"They were trying not to offend native people and to withhold things that may or may not offend Native Americans," he said.
"History ought to be told with all its warts. Let the facts come out and let people reach their own conclusions. Deciding what people have access to and what they don't — you're tinkering with history."
Ten years ago Bachman was in Mankato doing research at the county Historical Society. He provided The Free Press with copies of letters exchanged at the time as well as detailed notes he'd kept of phone conversations at the time. His experience is also part of a study on the disputed gallows beam done by independent historian Carrie Zeman. (See related story.)
During his research in Mankato, a volunteer offered to show him some of the Dakota-related artifacts in the society's collection that were not on public display.

SegaSoft's Plane Crazy is a fairly unique racer that attempts to capture the thrill of aerobatic flying in an arcade action style. In some ways, the game achieves that goal. In fact, if not for Plane Crazy's flawed controls, horrific course design, and extremely limited gameplay options, it might just be a good game. In a nutshell, Plane Crazy is your typical racing game filled with twisting tracks and fast-paced gameplay. The big difference, of course, is that your vehicle is a hot-rod aircraft modeled loosely on the slick machines you see in the Reno Air Races if you watch ESPN 2 really late at night. You have three planes to choose from, and you can customize the appearance of each by changing the paint scheme on the fuselage, wings, tail, and engine. Sadly, most of these textures are rather plain - or ugly - and if you mix and match the textures you generally end up with one sad-looking plane. When you take part in a championship season, you can also earn prize money for upgrades that will make

Chemical-laden snack treat aficionados across North America all shed a tear last week – at least I'm picturing them shedding tears, more dramatic that way – when Hostess announced they were halting production after the bakers' unions and head office couldn't reach an agreement.
People were outraged, or maybe just a little bummed, that their childhood treat may be going by the wayside, as the maker of Twinkies, Snoballs, Fruit Pies, King Dons, oh and Wonderbread.
Basically everything in the world that turns to slime in your mouth.
I don't think this is quite the crisis the American public is making it out to be. Hostess products are disgusting. They taste like chemicals and have the nutritional value of a Lego block.
Maybe this could be the start of a new era of not relying on pre-packaged desserts. Remember how good a cupcake made from scratch tastes? Cling to that thought.
While we're at it, there's a few other food products that we could stand to erase from human memory.
The Double Down is at the top of my list. I like chicken, I like bacon and I like cheese. However using chicken as bread and bacon and cheese as the filling in a so-called sandwich makes even my stomach turn.
The sheer amount of sodium in one of these atrocities is staggering. It's a heart attack in a little bag. And there is no reason why anyone should have to consume one.
Another food that needs to go? The hot dog stuffed crust pizza. I saw a commercial for this and thought it was a joke.
For one thing, if I'm wanting hot dogs, I don't really want to eat pizza and vice versa. Why not just make a pizza topped with corndogs? I know it's all just processed meats, but the idea of having a processed meat hot dog while eating a slice of processed meat pepperoni pizza is just nauseating.
Oddly enough, on a website talking about the Twinkie issue is an ad for that very pizza.
One more, just to round it out – the donut burger. Donuts are not buns. Yes they are a bread-like product, making them somewhat similar to buns, but they should never be used as such. Especially where cheese and bacon are involved.
It's not a wonder the western world has gotten progressively fatter over the decades.

I cover domestic and world economics from a free-market perspective
More suspicious voices on the right warned that the Left would use a collapsing Obama Care as an excuse for a single payer medical care system. The "train wreck" of the Obama Care roll-out has underscored its incredible complexity, contradictions, and peccadilloes, and we are just beginning to scratch the surface. Who knows what horrors lie buried in the thousands of pages of regulations that no one has read?
The warning that the Republicans will be blamed for the crash of Obama Care is already coming true. As ueber-Liberal Robert Reich writes from his Ivory Tower of Berkeley (Don't Blame Dems. We Wanted Single Payer):
"Had Democrats stuck to the original Democratic vision and built comprehensive health insurance on Social Security and Medicare, it would have been cheaper, simpler, and more widely accepted by the public."
The Left is champing at the bit to go single payer, even before Obama Care has begun. The employer mandate has been delayed and thousands of exemptions have been granted. Of the major provisions, only the individual mandate and fines remain, and even they may be delayed. But the liberals say: Let's change the venue and the rules before the game even starts.
The oracle of the Left, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman (The Big Kludge) explains that Obama Care, as constituted, is too complicated a mix of the private and public sectors. (Why did he not say that when the bill was before Congress?) Krugman explains that Obama Care was given to us by the Republicans in cahoots with Big Insurance, Big Pharma, and Big Hospital. Poor Obama and the Democrats had to take what was possible not what was best because of the rascally Republicans.
Krugman then issues his siren song for the single payer system:
"Imagine, now, a much simpler system in which the government just pays your major medical expenses. In this hypothetical system you wouldn't have to shop for insurance, nor would you have to provide lots of personal details. The government would be your insurer, and you'd be covered automatically by virtue of being an American. Of course, we don't have to imagine such a system, because it already exists. It's called Medicare, it covers all Americans 65 and older, and it's enormously popular. So why didn't we just extend that system to cover everyone?"
Sounds good does it not? We have no more worries. We can all go to the doctor or hospital, pick up our drugs at the pharmacy and initial a receipt that says: "Paid for by Uncle Sam." All these providers are sitting there waiting for us to arrive so they can serve us with efficiency, sympathy, and good will.
Before falling for these myths, consider what Reich and Krugman are not telling us.
First, they do not admit that their beloved single payer system is being grafted into a Medicare which already cannot keep its promises. Medicare's unfunded liabilities eclipse those of Social Security. Any actuary will tell you that, when the next generation retires, Medicare will be trillions of dollars short in paying its bills. In fact, Obama Care largely gets its own funding by robbing an already underfunded Medicare to pay for the Obama exchanges and Medicaid expansion.
Second, single payer systems elsewhere are paid for primarily by payroll taxes. The U.S. payroll tax rate is currently 15.3 percent with an additional 2.3 percent for higher income earners thanks to Obama Care. In the single payer systems of Europe, the payroll tax averages 37 percent. (Economists have long taught that the wage earners ultimately pay the payroll tax whether it is formally paid by the employer or employee). To pay for a single payer system like Europe's, America's middle class would face a doubling of payroll taxes and a fifty percent increase in their total taxes on income. Americans would pay about 45 percent of their earnings for federal taxes on income alone. After that they have to worry about state taxes and local property taxes.
Third, the Obama Care website is only about directing families to buy health insurance that meet Obama Care requirements, while informing them what the policy will cost after subsidies. It does not address real medical-care issues like which treatments will be covered, which doctors you can see and with what wait times, what reimbursement fees will doctors receive, what R&D costs pharmaceutical companies can recoup, or what kind of end-of-life care can seniors count on. If the Obama Care administration cannot even get you enrolled, how can you expect it to make these hundreds or thousands of decisions for millions of families. If Obama Care alone requires 12 million words of regulations, Obama's "SocialSecurity USA" will need 100 million words of regulations, which no one understands, much less has read. What 800 help line will be able to guide you through this mess?
Fourth, what talented young person will train for a decade to get an MD degree or a Ph.D. in science to qualify for work that is directed every step of the way by a Canadian IT company? Instead of patients and lab research, that person's time will be devoted to paper work and arguing with the 800-SOCIALSECRUITYUSA helpline. Under these conditions, why would Big Pharma risk billions to develop a cancer cure or the new equipment for brain or heart surgery. Instead, America's great pharmaceutical companies will become public utilities earning a fixed rate of return guaranteed by SOCIALSECURITYUSA. Why bother when Switzerland and Israel are still the land of the free? Let's get out of here before even they disappear.
Liberals will accuse me of crying wolf. After all, we have the best central planners in our MIT's, Harvards, and CalTechs. This Gregory guy says the problem is too complex, but what does he know.
My response: Let these true believers study the Soviet economy or read Hayek's The Fatal Conceit. I doubt either would help change their mind.
I wrestle with the idea of going single-payer, and while the capitalist in me is against it, it's hard to overlook a couple very important points: (1) The crisis in health care is its COST, not the extent to which people are insured, because even the uninsured have been getting health care. Per capita, the US spends at least twice what other first-world nations pay. (2) If you believe that the true crisis is in health care cost, then the only plausible solution — at least that I can see — is for there to be one buyer of the service. Nothing like having one buyer to drive the price of something down, down, down.
No. Having "the government" pay for it (with taxes taken from us, mind) is a recipe for disaster. When an individual doesn't have to foot the bill for something it wants, it creates unlimited demand for a limited supply of something. That drives the price of something up, up, up.
And I question whether you even read Mr. Gregory's piece. He explained how much more people would have to pay in taxes to support that.
Government involvement is the reason why the COST of health care is sky high. People love the free Emergency Rooms, but then complain when hospitals and providers have to recoup the costs by charging $10 for an asprin, or $2000 for a ten minute ambulance ride. The more government involvement and regulation, the more chaos in the marketplace, and the more people will eventually start to beg for single payer to be the solution.
Nothing like One buyer to make quality go down, down, down.
While liberals are at it, why not have the government take over energy, transportation, housing and banking? Oh, their are trying, never mind. That's progressiveness for you.
"It's called Medicare, it covers all Americans 65 and older, and it's enormously popular. So why didn't we just extend that system to cover everyone?"
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because MEDICARE IS BROKE?!?
What your story fails to mention (Or perhaps realize?) is that the healthcare system we have in place increased in cost 131% from 2000-2010. What if a small business rent increased 131% every 10 years? What if the cost of salaries increase 131% every ten years? How long would any industry in this country last?
Now realize that Healthcare is the third highest cost for all employers, after real estate and salaries. Not solving this problem somehow is the beginning of the end for the US Economy.
Think about what a cost control system like single payer would allow busineses to re-invest in themselves and the economy? Think of the jobe single payer could create, and the burden it would lift for a small company trying to attract and retain quality talent.
I'd also like for you to consider that having the greediest people in the world running our medical system might not not be such a great thing. Today, our medical system incents doctors for performing procedures, not for making people well. Our infant mortality rate is lower than Cuba. A baby born today is more likely to die in the US than in Cuba. Think about that for a moment.
Do we want the greediest people seeking MD degrees, or do we want the people who sincerely want to help people be well? Greedy does not equal talented, benevolent or good when it comes to doctors. Send those douche-bags to Wall Street if making money is their goal. I promise, the greedy will always find a way to earn theri money. Just keep their hands out of my chest cavity, please.
I sell Health insurance every day, and believe me, nobody in the US would be personally hurt worse than me and my family by a move to "Single Payer". I see it every day from the inside though, and I know me & the industry I work in are the problem.
Get the profit motive out of healthcare! Doctors shouldn't have to answer to stockholders!!!!!
Hello Stan,
Well, if the government would stop pouring all this public money into the healthcare system, then costs just might abate. But they never do because the government money just keeps on flowing.
The government forces private care facilities to treat the uninsured at great cost. The government pours money into public health care facilities. Is it any surprise that fees keep rising with all this abundance of money?
Stan – First of all, You obviously haven't done your research. Do you have any idea WHY the infant mortality rate is higher in the US than in Cuba? In Cuba, premature infants don't survive the birth process. In the US, we will work to revive and keep alive an infant born at less than 27 weeks gestation (the mortality rate on these babies is something like 50%) and those who don't make it are added to our statistics. I'm pretty sure the parents of the survivors are glad their children were born in the US. What about providers of medical care? Doctors are already retiring or leaving the field. There's already a drop in medical school applications, and who can blame them? There's not guarantee that they will ever be able to recoup the cost of their training. You can continue to live in a fantasy land, but when reality hits, don't say you weren't warned.
Secondly, Who do you imagine is going to pay the costs of a single payer system? You work. Have you ever looked at your paycheck? YOU will, and your employer will pay a share as well – just like Social Security and Medicare taxes already assessed. those taxes will just rise. I have to ask, did you read the article?
There's another reason why Cuba's so-called health "statistics" look good.
They're lying communists.
Could the "young idealists" do any worse? I don't believe it takes much math and science studies to determine the US healthcare system, which has gone from less than 10% of GDP in 1980 to current 17.7%, is broke. I'm not sure who you're talking about, believes there is a free lunch, but for me, that would be the any idiot who believes everything was just fine before Obamacare.
Here is a little graphic on the single payer Canadian Healthcare system regarding wait times. Enjoy government health care!
"Enjoy government health care!"
As user of VA Healthcare System, I enjoy it very much. When I have multiply complaints my PCP doesn't tell me to schedule separate appointment for each complaint. The doctor spends as much with me as necessary rather than going by the 5 minute mark as did my former private physician.
This is not say I didn't enjoy my former private health insurance. Certainly enjoyed suing them (insurance company) a couple times for bad faith. You'd think lesson learned after first denial of service/payment.
"The warning that the Republicans will be blamed for the crash of Obama Care is already coming true."
Haven't seen this anywhere. When Jon Stewart and Lorne Michaels are downing libs, you're in trouble
Alternative to the Affordable Care Act and a different type of HSA
Why does our employer or why do we give 100% of our monthly premiums to health insurance companies who then decide which treatment they will pay for with our money? Not only do insurance companies receive 100% of our premiums (often $20,000+ per employee annually) we also pay large co-pays and office visits payments. Could we create a system where employers send 50% of employees' health care premiums to their employees' health care savings account (HSA) and 50% to either a new version of Medicare (low cost coverage for everyone not just the elderly) or health insurance companies instead of giving 100% of our premiums to health insurance companies?
Do we even need health insurance companies? Health insurance companies are raising premiums, raising co-pays, lowering coverage, and lowering reimbursements for health care providers because health insurance executives seem more worried about making money for themselves and their shareholders than using our money to pay for our health care needs.
The health insurance companies often claim that rates are high because of the ballooning cost of treating the elderly. This argument is a ruse as the elderly are already covered under Medicare. Furthermore, as we age, insurance companies charge us more because, potentially, we could cost the insurance companies more money, but in reality we should be given credit or lower premiums for all of the money/premiums we or our employers have paid to the health insurance companies over our entire lifetime.
The Affordable Care Act/Obamacare requires everyone to purchase health care coverage from the same health insurance companies who have gotten us into this mess. The Affordable Care Act also requires health insurance companies to use 80-85% of the money they receive from us on healthcare. If 80-85% of the money health insurance companies receive from us must be spent on health care, then insurance companies will raise their rates even higher so the 15-20% they can spend on salaries will not result in a pay cut.
If the government can require everyone to buy health insurance, then the government should ban health insurance companies from being traded on Wall Street and mandate that health insurance executives/employees may not be paid more than $1 million per person annually.
In the early 1990s health insurance companies converted from not-for-profit companies to for profit companies traded on Wall Street. Ever since the conversion health insurance costs have skyrocketed. Health insurance companies, in the end, obstruct health care. Not only do they take our money with a promise to pay if we are sick or injured, when the time comes, they often refuse to pay. Health insurance companies have numerous excuses for not paying while at the same time charging a small ransom to be covered under their health plan. The new law should not be a windfall for the health insurance industry.
One of the ways to fix health care would be to let us keep more of the money we pay, or our employer pays, for our health insurance. Using the 50/50 health care plan, health care costs would be reduced, risks could be managed, and everyone would be covered. There would be fewer disagreements with insurance companies over services or payments. Patients and doctors would decide the treatment that is necessary and the patient would pay for the services through either their HSAs or if their HSA was depleted then payment would be through the new Medicare or through health insurance companies. This would encourage more responsible behavior and better patient-doctor relationships. (Economics 101: No one spends someone else's money as carefully as they spend their own money.)
No more millionaire insurance executives denying claims. The patient would have control over his/her money and health care. And, people who lose their jobs would still have money for health care through their HSAs, the new version of Medicare, which would receive 50% of our premiums or we could choose to direct 50% of our premiums to a private health insurance company.
Currently, if you lose your job and cannot afford COBRA, then you lose your health insurance or become part of Medicaid (if you are poor enough) or Medicare (if you are old enough) programs. It would be helpful to have a HSA to draw upon when unemployed in addition to Medicare and Medicaid. For example, if the health insurance premiums your employer pays for you cost $20,000 annually and you worked for 30 years, then you could potentially have $300,000 ($20,000/2 * 30) in a health savings account. HSAs would be portable and preventative care would be paid through the 50% that goes to the new Medicare or health insurance companies. The new Medicare would also cover the indigent or others who do not have and/or have depleted their HSA with the 50% of the premium Medicare would receive in addition to the current payroll taxes that go to Medicare.
If health insurance companies can pay multimillion dollar salaries, then my 50/50 plan could be implemented without affecting patient health care. It would only impact/reduce the health insurance executives' salaries to seven digits instead of eight or nine digits or Medicare could be strengthen and provide coverage for everyone including people who had depleted their HSA.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
That is the constitution.
Please let me know where the constitution indicates we should have the federal government dictate healthcare in this country?
The more we forget what the framers intended the worse off we seem to get.
The theory and beauty of single payer is that the money that I as a small employer pay to the fat cat insurance companies would be used to support a single payer healthcare system. No one is suggesting that we continue to raise taxes on the average worker. I consider the money that I pay in insurance premiums for my employees as part of their salary. Thus, i would use this money to pay into a payroll tax for single payer for all. The money that most people are paying in deductibles and copays would be gone in a single payer system. Thus, the average worker would be able to pay slightly more in taxes. Your description of the poor abused physician in a single payer system is also confused. If you haven't looked, the physicians in Canada are not unhappy and are not crossing the borders by the thousands to be treated like nonentities by the likes of UHC! i am a physician and have thought of going the opposite direction. The ACA is not my choice since it keeps the insurance companies in the pictures confounding everything. Medicare publishes a fee schedule every year that they don't change on a whim and tells providers and patients consistent information. If you were a little more compassionate, you might realize that single payer is the way to go since healthcare should be a human right. I just hope and pray that Obamacare will keep people alive until this country comes to its senses and realizes that whether or not a human lives or dies should not be dependent upon whether they have the money to pay for healthcare or not
There are so many Fallacies in your argument I don't know where to begin.
1. It would not be a "Slight" increase in taxes to go to single payer unless healthcare becomes rationed care. Remember only about half of American families even pay federal taxes so this would only be good for half the population unless the taxes are coming from employers like your self which are already over burdened.
2. Canada has rationed care some people it is months to see a doctor and get surgeries. I have relatives in Canada and they say it is getting worse as time goes on.
3. Your first statement who would be the fat cat in this the government is. When has to government ever been more efficient at delivering services. That I hope was a joke.
Mr. Gregory, your pull quote from Mr. Krugman exposes the fundamental obfuscation in this monstrous misstep that is Obamacare, ""Imagine, now, a much simpler system in which the government just pays your major medical expenses."
To add moral clarity to this grand narrative, let's substitute the noun "government' with "neighbor."
"Imagine, now, a much simpler system in which YOUR NEIGHBOR just pays your major medical expenses."
Should we not preface all these conversations with a preamble that frames the context? What are the terms and conditions of our social contract, specifically how much public benevolence shall we demand of our citizens — from their labor or cash flow from capital and then pay an intermediary industry, the medical insurance sector, to administer health care procurement on behalf of individual citizens?
Phrased in those terms, using an intermediary when we have the technology to disburse benevolence payments to individuals directly, why not simply issue "health care debit cards" that may only work health care provider facilities? Voucher them.
This suggests "single funder" but not "single payer." We already know how to do this with food stamps / SNAP for example, notwithstanding the fraud problems.
Professor Gregory,
Please tell me you just didn't make the Mitt Romney mistake of using Israel as an example of a great and free market in healthcare. You wrote: "Why bother when Switzerland and Israel are still the land of the free?"
You do know that Israel and Switzerland both have some sort of government intervention in health care to the left of Obamacare, right (discounting medicare and medicaid)? Not only do both countries have mandated participation, they also engage in various governmental cost control mechanisms to directly attack the cost side of healthcare.
Even your own colleague at Forbes can help you regarding this:
Yes, both Israel and Switzerland's systems are not Single Payer – however considering the right in this country is apoplectic over ACA, I wonder how they would react if we exactly used Switzerland's or even better, Israel's system here.
Afterall, you and Romney seem to love with the Israeli's are doing.
And another colleague of yours at Forbes, Avik Roy (on your side of the aisle), can't get enough of the Swiss system.
As an economics professor, you should know a couple of attributes to health-care as a good that make it quite difficult to have a pure free market. 1. info asymmetry and lack of bargaining power from a buyer ; 2. most health care (not cosmetic or optional enhancements) as a good is inelastic with respect to demand.
Perhaps another PhD Economist can help you out with this one:
the best way for Obamacare to die the horrible euthanized death-panel demise it deserves is to make sure ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ARE UNDER THE EXCHANGES AND TAXES.
Why not double down on failure? Isn't that what everyone does in the real world?
So the socialist left which has failed most miserably in their big government forced theft of our healthcare are to now be rewarded with complete control over it?
Replace this epic fail with qa bigger one by the same socialists?
If one shot of socialist heroine sends you near death–take another bigger hit to remedy it?
And they aren't even ashamed of their obvious irrationality. On the other hand, a well prepared populace, hardened off with sex, lust, free checks, racial agitation, and guilt free slaughter of their inconvenient offspring, is not familiar with rationality anyway.
We have become the first nation in history to voluntarily give away our freedom for government tainted candy. Both parties are ruling and ruining this nation for their own power. God help us.
Those who advocate single payer can jump off the Bay Bridge. Single payer grossly violates reason when viewed, not just from an economic perspective, but the perspective of human nature. If we cared to observe the fiasco in the Louisiana Wal-mart, we can plainly see what happens when something is perceived to be "free."
The reason health care costs are what they are today (not insurance costs, but actual healthcare), is directly due to human nature and the policies of the state and federal governments, that fed the baser parts of that nature.
1. Government insurance. When it doesn't come directly out of your pocket (or your immediate family's pocket) what incentive is there to control your costs? The answer is simple: None. This drives costs up, not down. Get rid of Medicare and Medicaid.
2. The ability to sue over the color of the waiting room. Medical malpractice insurance and it's cost directly translates to your doctor bill. It's not rocket science. Are there legitimate things to sue over? Sure. But they need to be defined in law and properly tried to insure their validity. Useless lawsuits drive up everyone's cost and only benefit the attorneys who engage clients to pursue them. Of course, if the law were simply changed to allow all costs of a frivolous lawsuit to be recouped from the party who filed it, it would change the dynamic considerably, especially if the attorney that filed it were disbarred and made to reimburse the expense.
3. A "hands-off" attitude of the authorities when it comes to defining what criminally negligent medical practice is. Amputating the wrong limb will stop when the entire staff that perpetuated the fiasco faces long prison time for negligence. Instead, what happens today is "file a lawsuit" and hope for a decent settlement (after the attorney takes their generous cut). Allowing this to go on, does nothing but raise the cost of health care.
When we, as a people decide to stop feeding the perspective that the cookie jar is endlessly full, then we will have begun to put the brakes on the sharp rise in the cost of health care. Single payer WILL NOT do that. Rather, single payer will continue to perpetuate that myth until it collapses the entire economy.
The solution for the problem is to let the market do what it does best with millions of minds determining what they need in the way of health care, without government interference. And, force the government to fulfill its legitimate function of prosecuting criminals and the crimes they commit (although I admit, the criminals in government will not go for this).
Big government programs NEVER work. Why should we trust this governemtn to get it right with a single payer system? We need free enterprise system for medical and health insurance. Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act can be replaced with a less costly program of direct payments for Americans that don't have insurance.
My insurance will be cancelled in January because it is not compliant to "the Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare)! Obama told us we could keep our insurance and our doctors. In this case, I must pay 50% more for a new policy that the government says I must have.
The Administration had nearly three and a half years and spent more than $650 million dollars for the healthcare roll out. We see corruption in how they are administered. Since 82% of Obama's cabinet have only worked for government and non-profits, they have no clue how business works. Remember the phrase GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK?
Let's recap this administration's failures: making healthcare more affordable; violations of the constitution with DOJ wire taps for the AP and a Fox News reporter, NSA spying, illegal appointments when the congress was in session, IRS prosecution of conservatives, Benghazi, reducing the deficit; Solyndra, creating jobs, running a transparent administration; the list continues to grow.
This program is unacceptable. Join me in writing to your Senators the Congress and President to demand that this law be repealed.
If you want to see how a single payer system would work int his country, look at the VA medical system. Stop by a clinic and talk to some of the patients.
Frikken nightmare.
Europe's taxes don't just pay for medical care they pay for free college educations, inexpensive mass transportation, the arts, development of alternative energy. The US government already pays more per capita on its broken capitalist medical "industry" than almost every country who has socialized medicine. Only Norway, Luxembourg and Monaco have governments that spend more. But of course in those countries, that's about it, very little is spent by private entities to provide healthcare. In the U.S. you're only half way there. After the government puts in their 4500 bucks you are expected to ante up another $4000. And to add insult to injury, except for those with the very best health insurance or high incomes the system we get out of it is mediocre at best and non-existent for millions of our citizens.
Its all about trying to apply markets to an area that doesn't have the all the pieces that make markets work. Or maybe that have more pieces than markets can measure. Its like trying to form families or churches or manage the environment only using the "free" market (oxymoron, there). How do you monetize life? Happiness? Love? Beauty? All these things are real but none of them are objects that can be bought and sold. If you try to apply markets to things like that you end up among soulless, bitter, hypocritical pieces of human excrement like Ayn Rand and her followers.
Since by its very nature health care lacks things like price resistance (who is going to say to a doctor "$2million to save my kids life? Thats too much. She'll have to die.") it must be regulated by government, preferably in ways that extend its benefits to everyone and whose cost is shared by everyone.
I am so happy to see someone frame the issue properly. The idea that capitalism is the appropriate/best system for every human transaction shows a deep misunderstanding of that systems principles and limitations. Until our nation stops treating capitalism like a sacred cow, never to be criticized, or equating it with democracy (it actually hurts democracy in some cases), we will not make progress on many social issues.
You ask how one can put a value on happiness or beauty. It isn't that hard when our culture equates such things with consumerism and it's material trappings.
Let's not forget that the billions or trillions of dollars that currently go into the private health care system could be redirected at a 2-3% administrative cost vs 20%+.

A judge spent much of Monday editing an audiotape of remarks Charles E. Rathbun made to investigators the day he was arrested and charged with killing model Linda Sobek, eventually handing over an expurgated version to prosecutors and the complete version to the defense.
Torrance Municipal Court Judge Mark McGee then placed both versions under seal.
Defense attorney Mark Werksman said the tape, made Nov. 22, was edited to ensure that "confidential and privileged information not go to the prosecution."

Crazy Love
Burt Pugach, Linda Pugach
Directed by Dan Klores, Fisher Stevens
For those who don't believe that truth trumps fiction for whacked-out depravity, mark this shockingly fierce and funny spellbinder as Exhibit A. Director Dan Klores, who heads one of the largest public relations firms in the country, lets rip with a tale of erotic obsession so schizoid that it's impervious to spin. It could only be a documentary. Back in the 1950s, hotshot New York attorney Burt Pugach was a negligence specialist in his thirties who was struck by lightning in the form of Linda Riss, a naive Bronx beauty whom Burt took on a whirl of Manhattan high life. Linda knew nothing of Burt's wife and disabled daughter. When the truth snuck out, Linda moved on. That's when Burt hired goons who disfigured her with lye and left her nearly blind. After fourteen years in prison, Burt was released and married Linda. And out of that nutso turn of events — there's more twists than a bag of pretzels — Klores and co-director Fisher Stevens craft a movie that leaves your head spinning. Crazy Love uses archival footage and fresh interviews (Linda refuses to take off her dark glasses but otherwise hides nothing) to get at the dark heart of a passion that spanned half a century. How? Damned if I know. But I couldn't stop watching.

Fairfield police responded to a residential burglary call on the 1800 block of Clay Street last Thursday around 2:50 p.m., leading to the arrest of several gang members, according to the Fairfield Police Department.
Here are the details:
Officers determined that the victim was away from her home when she received a call from an alert neighbor informing her that strangers were in her backyard. The victim quickly returned home and interrupted two burglary suspects as they fled out a window at the back of the house and fled into the drainage ditch area to the rear of the home. The victim immediately notified the police, and officers converged on the area and set up a perimeter.
Officers located the two suspects as they attempted to emerge from the backyard of another home on Clay St. When the suspects were spotted, they again fled by jumping fences into the drainage ditch behind the home. One suspect was apprehended on Sycamore St. near Clay St. and the other was captured in the drainage ditch area. The suspects were Javier Benitez Sanchez (an 18 year old Fairfield resident) and a 16 year old Suisun resident.
Officers determined that the victim's home had been ransacked and items such as: jewelry, video game consoles, prescription drugs, and clothing had been stolen. Additionally, the suspects had spray painted gang graffiti inside the garage of the victim's home.
When Javier Benitez Sanchez was captured, he had jewelry and clothing stuffed in his pocket that he had stolen from the victim's home. When the juvenile was arrested, he had prescription medication in his pocket that he had stolen from the victim's home as well. Officers and the victim's family members canvased the area when they learned that additional items had been stolen, but were not in the immediate possession of the suspects. The TV and video game consoles were all located stashed in the creek area near Acacia St. and Clay St.
Javier Benitez Sanchez and the juvenile were both affiliated with a local criminal street gang. They were booked into County Jail and Juvenile Hall (respectively) for burglary, conspiracy, possession of stolen property, possession of narcotics, and participating in criminal street gang activity.

Ludonarrative, a compound of ludology and narrative, refers to the aspects of video game storytelling that are controlled by the player. It is contrasted with fixed or embedded narrative which are the purely narrative, non-interactive aspects of the game that are determined by the game's designers and told through cutscenes or other related devices. Ludonarrative is considered an essential concept in videogame theory.[1]
Ludonarrative dissonance[edit]
Ludonarrative dissonance refers to conflicts between a video game's narrative and its game play. The term was coined by Clint Hocking, a former creative director at LucasArts (then at Ubisoft), on his blog in October, 2007.[2] Hocking coined the term in response to the game Bioshock, which according to him promotes the theme of self-interest through its gameplay while promoting the opposing theme of selflessness through its narrative, creating a violation of aesthetic distance that often pulls the player out of the game. Video game theorist Tom Bissell, in his book Extra Lives (2010), notes the example of Call of Duty 4, where a player can all but kill their digital partner during gameplay without upsetting the built in narrative of the game.[3]

Portsmouth bar charged in connection with patron's death
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams and Portsmouth Police Chief Stephen DuBois held a press conference Tuesday to announce the charges.
The one felony complaint alleges that the bar's owners, New Adventure Entertainment LLC, doing business as The Page Bar and Restaurant, negligently allowed beverages to be consumed in an area not approved by the Liquor Commission, namely the dance floor of the Stadium Lounge.
The charge against the bar carries a $100,000 fine but no jail time, as it is against a corporation, not an individual.
Reams said had the bar been following the rules of their liquor license, the assault that resulted in the death of Joshua Krantz, 24, may never have happened.
Police allege that Zachary O'Neill, 24, attacked Krantz from behind on the dance floor around 12:30 a.m. on April 6 and struck him repeatedly in the head. O'Neil alleged that Krantz spilled a drink on him earlier in the night while on the dance floor.
Later that morning, Krantz was found dead in his Dover apartment by his roommates.
O'Neill is facing a felony degree assault charge at this time, because the state medical examiner has not yet ruled Krantz's manner of death as a homicide.
The investigation to date has revealed that Krantz's death was caused by a fractured skull that resulted in bleeding of the brain.
On Tuesday, DuBois said the medical examiner's final report is still pending.

Avandia, the widely used diabetes drug got a new warning label. The drug's package will now tell patients it may, or may not, increase the risk of heart attacks.
It's confusing but the Food and Drug Administration says studies are too contradictory to tell for sure if Avandia really is riskier than other diabetes medications.
Still, the FDA put the controversy in a black box on the drug's label.
That's the most severe warning.

Accident involving DUI
At about 1:38 a.m., received a phone call from a resident near the corner at 83rd and Madison streets in Burr Ridge, saying a suspicious person was ringing the door bell. The resident did not open the door.
Officers found Jose Arguelles, 35, 5649 West 82nd Pl., Burbank in the area, injured and bleeding. Police say he told officers he was attacked by "some guys."
Police say further investigation revealed that he had crashed his car into an unoccupied home in the area.
The man could not provide any information about his attackers, and his injuries were consistent with having been in a crash. Later, during questioning, police say he changed his story and stated that another car cut him off causing him to crash. The investigating officers said they could not substantiate his claims.
They arrested Arguelles and charged him with driving under the influence, improper lane use and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. Arguelles was transported to Adventist Hinsdale Hospital for treatment before booking, which was competed at the hospital.

The Final Four takes the court tonight, but no matter what athletic feats unfold, the signature moment of the 2013 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament is already known: It is the moment when Louisvilles Kevin Ware came down awkwardly on his right foot after trying to block a shot by Dukes Tyler Thornton. Wares lower leg bone snapped with a gruesome, jutting fracture.
It was a sight so terrible players fell to the floor in shock, coaches cried and television quickly stopped the replays. But the moment shouldnt be followed by a symbolic looking away. Wares injury tore the veil that barely conceals the injustice of college basketball and football. The players play for free while the coaches, television networks and the NCAA are awash in millions and millions of dollars gained from their efforts.
Ware cant file for workers compensation. Its unclear what medical coverage he will have beyond college. Yet he played for a team that is rated the most profitable in college basketball taking in $40 million in annual revenue and realizing profits of between $23 and $28 million, according to sports economist Patrick Rishe.
Beyond the obvious injustice of amateurs generating so much money for others, there is a curious issue of why Wares unusual injury happened. Doctors have speculated that perhaps he already had a stress fracture in the leg. If so, did he complain of pain? Was he pressed to play because of the importance of tournament? The NCAA should get answers to those questions. it should also use some of the tournaments millions to look broadly at the risks athletes feel compelled to take and how theyre treated when those risks prove terribly real.
