The Star-Ledger: Your manager said this was really a big show for you guys.The Ween-Simon&Garfunkel-Sparks-Ladysmith Black Mombazo supergroup didn't actually happen when Ween played Central Park's Rumsey Playfield on Friday 9/17, but Madonna was there (causing trouble)...
Gene: Yeah, Central Park, Simon & Garfunkel. They are going to come out and play songs with us.
Which Ween songs are they going to play?
"Spinal Meningitis"...
Is there some lineage from Sparks to Ween?
Mickey is really into Sparks, and he says Ween is the modern-day Sparks.
I think you and Sparks should play a show together just like Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park.
Sparks is going to be there, too, with Simon & Garfunkel.
That's a crowded stage.
It is, but we'll make room. Ladysmith Black Mambazo is going to be there, too.
"We spoke with SummerStage production manager Danny Owen about the chain of events that led to Madge's appearance at Ween's soundcheck and it started in the early afternoon hours when the film and concert production teams realized the area had been double booked. WE's production team approached venue staff when they started to test the PA and the SummerStage staffers agreed to keep the noise to a minimum until Ween soundchecked at 5PM. 5PM rolled around and the film's producers asked for more time, but with doors set to open at 6:30, there wasn't much wiggle room since the band needed to get comfortable with the sound at the outdoor venue.What a busy week for Summerstage. Madonna, Cake, Broken Social Scene, WEEN, and four Pavement shows.
Owen, whose main concern was making sure the band was given the time they needed, told the film's producer that the band was indeed going to start soundchecking. At this point, the members of Ween were on stage and waiting around for word to start the check. Madonna must've gotten wind of the situation as at approximately 5:15PM she entered the concert field with her security entourage and asked Owen if she could speak to the band. Danny responded, "with all due respect, no you may not" leading Madonna to ask to speak to a manager at which point Ween's manager, Greg Frey, entered the fray.
The pop icon bought a few minutes during her conversation with Frey as soundcheck was delayed until approximately 5:30, but we're glad to see that even Madonna can't keep Ween from taking care of business. Sadly, it seems Madge and her unhip team didn't even know who Ween was. Ween went on close to 7:30PM and played one fantastic, extremely long set followed by a three-song encore." [Glide Magazine]
Ween currently has two shows on the calendar, including a Halloween date in Colorado, and there's at least one solo show coming up too. All dates, Ween's Central Park setlist, and more pictures, below...

A second worker injured in the Marseille, France, stage collapse ahead of a weekend Madonna concert has died, a French hospital official announced on Friday.Clips of the scene, below...
The 32-year-old British man died from injuries suffered in Thursday's incident at the Stade Velodrome in the southern French port city.
A French worker was killed instantly on Thursday when a partially completed roof section of the complex and intricate set collapsed on top of several people. Nine others were injured and sent to local hospitals, authorities said, noting at the time that an American and a British worker were in serious condition.
Madonna was reportedly "devastated" when she learned of the incident while warming up for her concert in Udine, Italy, on Thursday" [CBC]

So how was [Thursday] night's Music Hall of Williamsburg show, only the second on their tour for Entertainment, and the first of a stand that [continued Friday] at Webster Hall? Hardly rudimentary, my dear. Let's dispose first of the big news: Madonna was in attendance (hanging off of some man, Lourdes knows who).If you count the three rehearsals, Fisherspooner has now played five NYC shows in the past 2-3 weeks. More pictures (including the NSFW opener No Bra) from MHOW below...
Spooner, surely to her dismay, made Madonna's presence known -- probably mischievously, as he also asked, seemingly with mock surprise, where she'd gone to once the set was over. (Madge ducked out after a few songs.) So what new material might she have gathered for her own live show? We were too busy attempting to move in rhythmic patterns to jot down any notes, but with four dancers (in a variety of often shiny costumes), two stand-up mirrors, two flat-screens, and a large video projection, the crew created an ultraenergetic, unapologetically arty, but resolutely playful stage show. [NY Mag]

interview by Chris Bilton, intro by Andrew Frisicano
Bassist Mike Watt has been in New York since Sunday, at work recording his fourth solo album, hyphenated-man, at a studio in Williamsburg. Watt is accompanied on that record, and on his current, nearly two-month tour, by the Missingmen -- drummer Raul Morales and guitarist Tom Watson.
NYC-area audiences finally get a chance to hear what Watt and the band have been up to when they play tonight, May 7th at Maxwell's in Hoboken. That's the first of two NYC-area shows; the second comes Friday, when Mike Watt and the Missingmen play the Mercury Lounge (openers include Lite, Kahoots and John DeVries of Agitpop). Tickets are still on sale.
The Missingmen project is just one of Watt's many efforts as a bandleader (to say nothing of his sideman gigs for the Stooges, J. Mascis and others). Another of those Watt fronted bands, the Black Gang (a project with Wilco guitarist Nels Cline), also recently cut a record. Release dates for both are TBA, but there's no lack of activity on the horizon. Cline and Watt are slated to open an August 1st show at the Central Park Summerstage, with M. Ward headlining.
EYE WEEKLY writer Chris Bilton spoke with Watt in mid-2008, where they discussed the bass player's storied history and busy future. That interview has remained on his hard drive until now...

If anyone had any doubt that touring is where the money is in the music business, a quick look at the top Moneymakers for 2008 should hammer the point home.I hope Kanye West can handle being below The Jonas Brothers (and Lil Wayne). The whole list below...
Regardless of genre, retail sales or radio play, each of the 20 acts on Billboard's Moneymakers list toured in 2008. (Taylor Swift mostly opened for Brad Paisley but doesn't get credit for that revenue). For almost all of them, touring generated the most revenue. And in a year when recorded-music sales declined yet again, many earned more at the box office than ever before. [Billboard]

Worldwide the tour actually grossed more than $280 million, making Sticky & Sweet the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo artist." [EOnline]

Girl Talk announces a new president in Milwaukee - Nov 4, 2008 (leslie!!)
Where were you when Obama was announced the winner last night? After spending some time in Rockefeller Center with thousands of people and NBC, I was actually at (le) poisson rouge in the West Village when CNN made their announcement (on two large screens). Everyone went nuts and started dancing while music like "We are the Champions" was blasting through the soundsystem (I guess McCain supporters knew to stay away from events like these?). Kyle was at The Bell House with a similar experience. Oprah was in Chicago's Grant Park (home of Lollapalooza). Ryan was wondering if Clues were ever going to go on. Others were at other concerts...
Girl Talk played Milwaukee. R.E.M. was in Santiago while Madonna performed in San Diego. Smashing Pumpkins were up in Toronto and Bad Brains had a hometown show in DC. Videos from those shows and more below...

Madonna & Justin Timberlake @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC - April 30, 2008
Considering the hassle people went through to get into the show, I think Madonna should have played more than six or seven songs (one of which was with Justin Timberlake), but that's just me....
Halfway through her 32-minute set on Wednesday night at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan, Madonna offered a message of sympathy.People were also paying over $1000 a ticket to scalpers.
"All you people I saw sleeping in the street last night," she said, "this song is for you."
It was "Hung Up," about the agony of waiting. And as she finished the song, she added, just in case the message wasn't clear: "Anybody who knows me knows how much I hate to wait."
New York may be a city of the impatient, but for Madonna's fans, Wednesday's show proved that seeing her for free in a 2,200-capacity hall -- minuscule by her usual touring standards -- was something worth waiting for. And waiting for a very long time.
The line outside Roseland, on West 52nd Street, formed 60 hours before show time.... [NY Times: For Madonna Fans, the Wait Is Worth It]
The whole show is now streaming online. THIS LINK will launch the video in Windows Media Player. Way more about the show at 'All About Madonna'.

Jay-Z is on the verge of a deal with concert promoter Live Nation worth about $150 million that rivals the biggest music contracts ever, the New York Times reported on its Web site on Wednesday.
Jay-Z was said to be planning to leave his longtime record label, Def Jam, for a package with Live Nation, which includes financing his own entertainment venture as well as recordings and tours over the next decade.
The deal, which sources told the newspaper should be finalized this week, comes after Live Nation earlier this week announced a 12-year agreement to handle the merchandising, digital and branding rights and touring of Irish group U2. [Reuters]

The last release date in November means slim pickings for music fans. This is not truly a bad thing, because as the number of worthwhile music releases dwindles, music bloggers and journalists have time to work on and post their "best of 2007" lists.
Through the Wilderness: A Tribute to Madonna features tracks by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Lavender Diamond, and Giant Drag, and is the lone disc I will be searching out tomorrow.
The other disc I can recommend is also a compilation, Causes I. The disc's proceeds benefit relief efforts in Darfur, and artists who submitted exclusive tracks include Bright Eyes, Spoon, Animal Collective and many more.

'August: Osage County': It's draining, all this complaining
By RICHARD ROEPER Movie Columnist January 9, 2014 1:52PM
Back in her hometown in Oklahoma, Barbara (Julia Roberts) confronts her abusive mother, Violet (Meryl Streep), and her naive sister Ivy (Julianne Nicholson) in the film version of Tracy Letts' play "August: Osage County." | WEINSTEIN CO.

Barbara Weston Julia Roberts
Bill Fordham Ewan McGregor
Charles Aiken Chris Cooper
Jean Fordham Abigail Breslin
The Weinstein Co. presents a film directed by John Wells and written by Tracy Letts, based on his play. Running time: 119 minutes. Rated R (for language including sexual references, and for drug material). Opens Friday at local theaters.

Watching an ensemble of world-class actors engaging in reach-the-back-row histrionics in "August: Osage County" reminded me of those all-star rock 'n' roll jams that sometimes close out awards shows.
You know what I'm talking about. The stage is overflowing with some unlikely mishmash of superstars along the lines of Paul McCartney, Elton John, Jay-Z, Carrie Underwood, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Bono and about two dozen other luminaries, all jamming to "Hey Jude" or something, and they're having the time of their lives up there, and you're marveling at the array of talent …
And the song is just crushed by the overkill.
So it is with "August: Osage County," the film version of the Tracy Letts play that won the Pulitzer Prize and five Tonys. Academy Award winners Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Chris Cooper share the stage — er, the screen — with Sam Shepard, Abigail Breslin, Ewan McGregor, Dermot Mulroney, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, even Benedict Cumberbatch (!) in a sometimes wickedly funny but ultimately sour, loud, draining tale of one of the most dysfunctional families in modern American drama. And that's saying a lot.
Nearly everyone in this story would be the most horrific person at your average dinner party. Put 'em all together, most of the time in one dark and emotionally haunted house, and they'll wear you out to the point where the last few big reveals seem more like piling on than stunning revelations.
Set during a blazing hot late summer in 2007 in Pawhuska, Okla., "August: Osage County" begins with Sam Shepard's Beverly, once a poet of some acclaim, telling the new caretaker, a Cheyenne woman named Johnna (Misty Upham), that his wife takes pills and he's a drinker. (He leaves out the "all the time" part.) One look around the musty, half-dead, shambling old house, with the curtains drawn tight and the windows taped so as not to allow in any sunlight, and it's a wonder the caretaker doesn't run for her life.
Meryl Streep is Beverly's wife Violet, a monster of a woman who gobbles prescription pills like they're M&M's and engages in nearly nonstop verbal abuse of her daughters and other family members — behind their backs, to their faces and if they're dead, to their memories. Suffering from mouth cancer doesn't keep Violet from spewing out the poison.
A death in the family is the impetus for a reunion that includes most of Violet's immediate kin and their significant others, including:
† Violet's sister Mattie Fae Aiken (Margo Martindale, in perhaps the film's best performance), who has a sugar-coated exterior but is nearly as vicious as Violet as she henpecks her husband Charles (Chris Cooper) and shows not a grain of love for her underachieving son (a miscast Benedict Cumberbatch), who is called "Little Charles" even though he's about 37.
† Violet's oldest daughter Barbara (Julia Roberts), who has acquired some of her mother's acidic ways; Barbara's philandering husband Bill (Ewan McGregor) and their teenage daughter Jean (Abigail Breslin), who's quite the little s---.
† Another daughter, Karen (Juliette Lewis), who fancies herself a free spirit but seems manic-depressive and utterly delusional. Her new beau Steve (Dermot Mulroney) is clearly a con and a jerk from the moment you hear the worst oldies rock imaginable blasting from his obnoxious convertible.
† The sweetest, most sympathetic character is Ivy (Julianne Nicholson), the only daughter who has remained in Osage County. But even poor Ivy's a mess. She's in love with her first cousin. That would be Little Charles.
These are the people with whom we are asked to spend almost two hours. The dialogue is sometimes so sharp we wince; the acting is for the most part superb. Nearly every character gets a shining moment, whether it's Aunt Mattie Fae shocking Barbara with her casual admission she's always known one dark family secret; Charles finally telling Mattie Fae to shut up, or Violet telling a story from her own childhood that reveals cruelty has been the way of this family for generations.
But even as played by the great Streep, Violet is such a toxic soul we don't care what happened to her as a child, and we have difficulty feeling empathy for anyone that would choose to spend any time mucking about in the cesspool of hate she creates, family ties be damned.
Julia Roberts gives one of the best performances of her career, as we see that struggle within Barbara to separate forever from this family, to drive away from that house one last time and never look back. It might not be too late for Barbara.
Everyone else seems doomed, whether they've come to realize that or not. All the screaming and drinking and wrestling on the floor, all the plate-breaking and all the nasty remarks, all the insults and the threats — ultimately it feels as if we're watching broken people lashing out as loud as possible in order to keep the denial going yet another day.

Leo Szilard, near Oxford, spring 1936.
Photo copyright U.C. Regents; used by permission.
Contact Special Collections and Archives, U.C. San Diego, for information on obtaining Szilard images.
Welcome to the world of physicist, molecular biologist, and "scientist of conscience" Leo Szilard (1898-1964). How do you say it? In Hungary, it is pronounced SEE-lahrd. Elsewhere, say SIL-ahrd.
Szilard's ideas included the linear accelerator, cyclotron, electron microscope, and nuclear chain reaction. Equally important was his belief that scientists should accept moral responsibility for the consequences of their work.
In his 1929 paper on Maxwell's Demon, Szilard identified the unit or "bit" of information. The World Wide Web that you now travel, and the computers that make it possible, show the importance of his long-unappreciated idea.
September 10, 2014. Coming soon: An amazing article about Szilard's life. It's all new information, based on my original research. I don't think anyone who reads the article will ever forget it. I will announce its publication through my new Twitter account @GeneDannen. Stay tuned for a wonderful surprise.
"Are We On The Road To War?" Leo Szilard and the speech that launched the Council
for a Livable World. Learn the story, read the speech, and hear Szilard
answer questions in RealAudio.
The 100th anniversary of Szilard's birth was celebrated in 1998 in both Hungary and the U.S.A.. On 9-11 February, a Centenary Conference was held in Budapest. One of the sessions convened in the Hungarian Parliament. This page of photographs of the Budapest events by Gene Dannen and William Lanouette includes information about the published conference volume. In addition, Hungary issued a Szilard postage stamp and telephone card. On 18 April, a Szilard centennial session was held at the April Meeting of the American Physical Society.
"The Einstein-Szilard Refrigerators" by Gene Dannen in the January 1997 issue of Scientific American. Translations have been published in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Spanish, and perhaps other languages. For more information, see this page of further references and notes to the article.
The Leo Szilard Lectureship Award, given yearly by the American Physical Society, honors "outstanding accomplishments by physicists in promoting the use of physics for the benefit of society." It is sponsored by the A.P.S. Forum on Physics and Society.

Designer finds creative use for Glass Mosaic TilesPosted by in Bathroom Design | Design
Lance Jordan is a San Diego, California based Designer who recently worked with our Melody glass mosaic tiles for a client in San Diego. The project was rather detailed and very creative to say the least. We often receive photos of client's renovation projects but we never heard what went in to the planning, design, and installation of the material. Lance was kind enough to send us some background information so we wanted to share it with you our Blog readers.
Lance's San Diego client asked him to come up with some creative ideas for their bathroom remodel and their only criteria was that he incorporate some blue mosaics in the design.
Lance explains the project below:
The spiral floor design was to bring in the water element, with the shape of the room directing the overall design. We then decided that it would look best to bring the design up the face of the bath. This proved to be the biggest design challenge. Taking the blue mosaics from the floor and up the 90 degree face of the tub could only be achieved by a bottom cove and a very sharp left angle from floor on up the tub face.
Having gone this far in the design process, it brought up what to do in the counter and sink area. I opted for a built in pedestal for its sculptural effect as well as a base for the mosaics to run up from the floor design. A hidden service panel on the side was also designed for plumbing access.
The counter, a blue granite, with copper sink and sculpted birch drawer fronts were also designed to accentuate and integrate into the overall design. With the mosaic tile I wanted a pulsating transition from blue green, blue into a darker ultramarine blue. We went through more than a half dozen samples before deciding on the Melody glass mosaic tiles from Anchor Bay Tile. What drew me to these mosaics were two things. The way they shimmer in the light is very beautiful. Secondly is all the subtle variations within each color. I was able to achieve all the transitions I was going for with just 3 colors: Turchese, Esmeralda, and Zaffiro, with accents of Citron for the yellows and Lampone for the red element. All of this color was then juxtaposed to a warm soft toned butter creme marble.
One of the problems with mixing materials of various thicknesses is the need to build up the thin material to the thickness of the thicker material. This was achieved by using 1/4″ Hardi-backer cement board with the Melody glass mosaic tiles set on top. For setting the thin glass mosaics I used an acrylic mastic. If you are going to use a thinset, be sure to mix a liquid acrylic ad mix with your dry thinset since it will adhere better than the polymer reinforced thinsets that require water.

Statement on Supreme Court Decision
June 28, 2012
Assembly Assistant Speaker, Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs' (D-Flatbush) statement on today's Supreme Court decision: "Today's Supreme Court decision to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act is a victory for New Yorkers and all Americans. No longer will insurance companies be able to drop people from their coverage for no reason, and no longer will they be able to raise premiums without just cause. All of our lives are now safer as a result of this historic decision because it is now a fundamental right to get the care we may need and deserve. I echo the President's earlier remarks and am so very happy for the victory handed to the American people." Highlights: The uninsured The decision leaves in place the so-called individual mandate -- the requirement on Americans to have or buy health insurance beginning in 2014 or face a penalty -- although many are exempt from that provision. In 2014, the penalty will be $285 per family or 1% of income, whichever is greater. By 2016, it goes up to $2,085 per family or 2.5% of income. The insured Because the requirement remains for people to have or buy insurance, the revenue stream designed to help pay for the law remains in place. So insured Americans may be avoiding a spike in premiums that could have resulted if the high court had tossed out the individual mandate but left other requirements on insurers in place. Young adults Millions of young adults up to age 26 who have gained health insurance due to the law will be able to keep it. The law requires insurers to cover the children of those they insure up to age 26. About 2.5 million young adults from age 19 to 25 obtained health coverage as a result of the Affordable Care Act, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Two of the nation's largest insurers, United Healthcare and Humana, recently announced they would voluntarily maintain some aspects of health care reform, including coverage of adult dependents up to age 26, even if the law was scrapped. People with pre-existing conditions Since the law remains in place, the requirement that insurers cover people with pre-existing medical conditions remains active. The law also established that children under the age of 19 could no longer have limited benefits or be denied benefits because they had a pre-existing condition. Starting in 2014, the law makes it illegal for any health insurance plan to use pre-existing conditions to exclude, limit or set unrealistic rates on coverage.

The children spent an entire week exploring bubbles. I happen to catch a few of the activities in action…
In the twos class, the teacher set out bowls of bubble solution mixed with yellow, blue, green, and red food coloring.
The teacher blew into one color of bubbles and once the bubbles were up high over the bowl…
The children would lift of the paper and place it on top of the bowl.
Then flip the paper over to see the results. This process was completed with each color of bubbles and in the end there was a beautiful design.
In the three's and four's class, the children dipped their bubble wands in the solution….
and blew the bubbles across the paper….
Trying to blow those bubbles took some practice at first!
After a little practice, the children did quite well with this process and I observed lots of giggles along the way!

Rain Rain Go Away
Eyelet ans Sequins and Lace, Oh My!!
Recent Outfits
Here are some recent outfits I have worn.
The first is my attempt to mix prints. When you do so you need to make sure there is a similar color in each print so you don't look like a hot mess. I chose navy blue. I think florals and stripes look really cute together when done right.
Striped Cardigan: Hollister
Floral Dress: Tucker for Target
Brown Boots: Mossimo Supply Co. (target)
This is what I wore when me, my husband and the kids went out to dinner for my husband's 31st birthday. We went to restaurant we have never tried before called Reggae J's. I had the coconut shrimp and it was amazing! We are definitely going back.
Black Faux Leather Cropped Jacket: Arden B
Strapless Black Dress: Merona Collection (target)
Patent Cheetah Print heels: Aldo
This is what I wore when we went out drinking for my husband's birthday. I love this top. I bought it in Vegas when I went with the new baby to visit my mother. She lives 2 hours south in Lake Havasu City, AZ so we had to fly in to Vegas and drive the rest. Well I made my mom stop at the huge H&M at Caesar's Palace since there is no H&M near me. I could have spent so much money there. They had a lot of their Spring stuff out, I just about broke the bank. I feel like their bottoms run small though. I got a pair of khaki cropped trousers that I have seen in a few magazines and had to get a size 8. A lot of their skirts I could not even get zipped up. Anyone else have that problem? Regardless, I can't wait to get back down there in June. I think I will have to get a part-time job just to save up for my purchases.
Cropped Black Top with Floral Lace Overlay: H&M
Black Bandage Skirt: Ambiance Apparel
Black Ankle Boots: H&M
This was just an average day running errands.
Brown Faux Leather Moto Jacket: Hollister
Floral Tank: Charlotte Russe
Denim Flares: William Rast
Brown Heels: BCBG
Another errands day. These jeans I bought a few years ago. So glad I have them since this look is huge for Spring. The the only part they lack is the high rise, these are definitely low rise, I think the zipper is an inch long.
White Fedora: Target (i think?)
Silk Floral Sleeveless Blouse: Sugar Lips (dillard's)
Light Wash Denim Flares: Divine Rights of Denim (dillards)
Purple Cardigan: Charlotte Russe
Platform Heels: Jessica Simpson Dany
Chain Strap Bag: Big Buddha
A day of shopping with the fam.
Blue Blazer: American Eagle
Polka Dot Bow Tie Blouse: Tucker for Target
Straight leg Jeans: American Eagle
Brown Heels: Mossimo (target)
Chain Strap Bag: Big Buddha
Things I Have to Have
These pants I found on missselfridge.com. They are called Rose Wide Leg Trousers. They were originally 40 gbp but are on sale for 8 gbp. They still have UK sizes 6, 10, and 14 left and shipping is 7.50 gbp.

La. Gov. Bobby Jindal: The states will fix Medicaid if Washington lets them
Our state's analyses, and reports by organizations that have supported Obamacare, such as the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute, estimate that such an expansion would cost Louisiana more than a billion dollars over the first 10 years.
The Obama administration heralds this as a tremendous bargain for states. That's simply not the case. The administration overlooks that Medicaid is largely failing current enrollees with its outdated model that costs billions of taxpayer dollars and produces poor outcomes.
Medicaid operates under a 1960's model of medicine, with inflexible, one-size-fits-all benefits and little consumer engagement and responsibility. Expanding the entitlement program as it stands would further cement a separate and unequal tier of health coverage. Without fundamental reform, Medicaid will continue to deliver what it has for decades: limited access, poor quality and budget deficits.
Fortunately, after nearly a half-century of running this program, states know its problems and how to address them.
A number of Republican governors have asked to meet with President Obama to discuss their solutions, but the White House has ignored these requests. The President claims that he wants to work across party lines to get things done for the American people, so perhaps he could start by meeting with Republican governors who want to solve our nation's health-care problems.
Our ideas to fix Medicaid target several areas for reform: eligibility, benefit design, cost-sharing, use of the private insurance market, financing and accountability.
First, the process to determine eligibility should be simple, accurate and fair. There are far too many complicated categories of Medicaid eligibility. The process should be easier for consumers to navigate and for states to administer. States should have the flexibility to set eligibility standards that make sense for residents, instead of the rigid, one-size-fits-all approach dictated by Washington. For any expansion, there must be straightforward rules to identify who is newly eligible for Medicaid vs. those who would have traditionally been eligible. Our country cannot afford billions of dollars in payments on untested methodologies.
States should be allowed to design their programs to promote value and individual ownership in health-care decisions. This includes using consumer-directed products, flexible benefit design, and reasonable and enforceable cost-sharing requirements. States must be freed from decades-old rules that are no longer relevant to 21st-century health care. For example, just like those of us who have employer-sponsored coverage or Medicare, Medicaid recipients shouldn't have free access to hospital emergency rooms for routine care. When individuals have no skin in the game, they are less likely to consume care responsibly.
States should be able to make use of their private health insurance market through their Medicaid eligibility levels, program design and ability to offer premium assistance. Currently, states are prevented, until 2019, from moving youths enrolled in their children's health insurance programs to their parents' insurance if the coverage was purchased in an exchange. It doesn't make sense for family members to be in different coverage programs or for the federal government to crowd out and replace private coverage with a government-run program. Furthermore, states should have the ability to grant "premium assistance" for Medicaid-eligible individuals at any income level to buy into the health insurance market.
Finally, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) should streamline Medicaid financing and improve the process to give states more flexibility, coupled with greater accountability. The process by which states negotiate for flexibility, called "waivers," is broken. Federal officials should have greater accountability for timely review of waiver applications. In particular, waiver applications based on those already approved in other states should be fast-tracked. HHS should allow states to opt in to a more flexible long-term-funding arrangement, allowing them to design programs that best meet residents' needs, rather than requiring the same package of services for every individual. At the same time, federal and state officials could agree to greater accountability for improvements in health outcomes, not just processes.
President Obama said in 2009 that "we can't simply put more people into a broken system that doesn't work." He was right, and today's Medicaid model doesn't give states adequate flexibility to improve health outcomes or lower overall costs.
Rules recently proposed by HHS include encouraging provisions that give a nod to governors' repeated calls for flexibility. But the conversation is still one-sided. Instead of rushing to expand Medicaid as-is, the President and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius should first engage in earnest discussions with state leaders. Many of us are eager to reform existing programs rather than spend more money on a rigid and expensive program that won't work for states, beneficiaries or taxpayers. So, let's meet, Mr. President.

And More Pump Adjustment
Eric Lagergren
June 30, 2011
I find myself late in the second week of life with my new insulin pump, the Animas OneTouch Ping. As I informed you last week, my plan for the next several blog entries is to write up my reactions to life with this device, touching on differences I observe after having spent four years with the Deltec Cozmo insulin pump.
For those of you who've made the switch from one brand of pump to another, you may very well agree with me that for the most part there's not much difference between pumps — insofar that they're all insulin-delivery systems. Except… that'd be like saying that all cars aren't much different because they all have four wheels and are a mode of transportation. So, yes, there are differences to talk about, and this week:
Reservoir Size
The thing is, as I said, relative to other Type 1s I know, I don't use all that much insulin. How frustrating this must be for those of you who have to change your reservoir every day or two. Three days seems too frequent to me. Maybe I've been spoiled, but an extra 100 units makes a huge difference. The 300-unit Deltec Cozmo reservoir seems a luxury in hindsight. Oh that cavernous plastic space into which I'd dump that lifesaving synthetic substance, all those units I took for granted. I'd go for four, maybe five days at a time without having to stop and unload, refill, reprime, and so on.
The Meter-Remote
Next week I have a few things to say about test strips and size of meter-remotes, as well as whatever else comes up in my honeymoon phase with this new Animas insulin pump. Until then, may you enjoy your summer!
I was told by my endocrinologist, when I finally started using a pump (Medtronic) in 2007, that I should only have enough insulin in the pump for 3 days use. The reason for this was the higher risk of infection at the infusion site. I was also told that the infections were more virulent. Therefore, every three days, give or take a half day, I change the infusion set and reservoir. Did you ever get site infections when you went 5 days between changes?
Posted by: Gary in Minnesota | Jul 06, 2011 06:51 PM
I, too use metronix (mini0med) insulin pump. I was also told to change every three days. I have experienced site infection. I once tapped into a vein; what a gusher. I didn't know until I prepared to do a set change. I color code my set changes-blue highliter. shower is green highliter. Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) is pink highliterEcervise is green highliter. That way I can see, at a glance, when I should be changing next.If there is a question, I can check my prime history function to see what date I did change.

My kids and I really liked the movie. However, I thought the part where he walked on water was in poor taste. One thing that is not mentioned in any review I have found is that there is a seen where the created bad guy is yelling at the girl and he says that she thinks there is good in everyone and that the world is a wonderful place. He then yells there is no tooth fairy, there is no easter bunny. I was waiting for him to yell there is no santa claus. I really think they could have omitted that part.
Yes, he yells no tooth fairy and no Easter bunny….but there is a third item in the list of things that "don't exist" that blantently and surely DOES exist without question that makes the guy just sound off his rocker and nuts. My 6 and 8 yos took it in just that manner - boy that guy is crazy to say that.
Enjoyed the movie more than I expected. The kids did too. We watched on our TV at home. I think, based on past experiences, that my sensitive 6yo would not have enjoyed this on the big screen as it would have been too intense at times.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Nine interactive sculptures are being installed at an urban art fitness park in Chattanooga.
Artist Thomas Sayre was visiting the city last week as his works went on display at the new Main Terrain park that stretches between 13th and Main streets. The Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/SU0ntK) reports it is one of only a few urban art fitness parks in the world.
The park is slated for completion next month. Along with the art pieces, it will feature a one-third-mile walking track, a 40,000-gallon stormwater runoff area and equipment designed by PlayCore for grown-ups.
The park received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Chattanooga City Council and the Lyndhurst Foundation.

10 Ways to Handle ComplaintsDecember 18, 2013 4:00 pm | Comments
Do you struggle to respond to complaints? Complaints are not all treated equally. Most managers welcome and can deal with a complaint that is valid and objectively expressed. Complaints that seem trite, invalid, or resemble whining are more difficult to handle.
Chain of Custody of a Body Begins with the Death Scene DocumentationDecember 18, 2013 2:19 pm | Comments

The Maplewood Police Department is a law enforcement agency with 31 officers and about 9,000 pieces of evidence. In early 2009, the chief challenged the department to bring order to the evidence room by implementing procedures for the orderly tracking, storage, and retrieval of evidence in the hope of attaining the department's ultimate goal: accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
Crime Scene Clean UpDecember 17, 2013 7:00 pm | Comments
Understanding what happens after CSOs leave the scene can help you do your job better and also help those who need it most: the victims and the people left behind. 80% of victims or their families clean up after a homicide, suicide, trauma, or situations involving decomposing bodies and other biological hazards because they don't know that professional services are available.
Have a Fire Prevention and Protection PlanDecember 16, 2013 7:00 pm | Comments
Every forensic facility should have a comprehensive fire prevention and protection plan. This plan is designed to protect the building occupants, preserve equipment and property, and assist emergency response teams. Each section in your forensic unit presents its own fire risks.
Get the Most from Your Crime SceneDecember 12, 2013 7:00 pm | Comments
These days, crime scene officers are capable of doing more forensic work right at the scene. The more you can do in the field, the more the scientists in the lab can do to verify your work. As technology advances, crime scene officers must advance their knowledge and training. Some key areas to focus on include bullet trajectory, blood spatter, and the proper way to collect sensitive evidence such as computers and drugs.
The Importance of Being an Approachable ManagerDecember 11, 2013 6:01 pm | Comments
As a manager, much of your success rests on the shoulders of those working for you. Therefore it is very important to maintain a positive, productive relationship with your employees, and one of the most important things to strive for as a manager is to remain open and approachable.
Handling Exposure to Blood or OPIMDecember 8, 2013 7:00 pm | Comments
Your employer must provide you with protective equipment, as well as medical care in the case of an incident, at no cost. Follow these steps after exposure to blood or OPIM by eye, mouth, mucous membrane, or non-intact skin and following any piercing, cut, or abrasion of these routes.
Respond with CautionDecember 5, 2013 5:00 am | Comments
Officers who arrive at a crime scene must be cautious and methodical. They should strive to preserve the scene with minimal contamination and should not disturb physical evidence. The following guidelines should be observed by all responding officers.
Get the Most Out of TrainingDecember 4, 2013 6:53 pm | Comments
Training is important. It's the one way to improve the quality of your workforce with the staff you have. But training is only valuable when employees retain the information that was taught to them. These training tips help managers get the most out of training sessions.
PELs Are Based Partly on Scientific Evidence and Partly on PoliticsDecember 2, 2013 6:50 pm | Comments
The OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs) are typically the least restrictive exposure values and serve as a minimum performance standard in the United States. It should be noted that when PELs are established, it is a political process mixed with scientific evidence.

Train Your Field OfficersNovember 19, 2013 7:00 pm | Comments
Remember that working a crime scene should be a team effort for you and your department. One of the best things you can do is train the field officers and the first responders about your capabilities. These officers are your eyes in the field; it's their job to call you when they see something that you can process.

Johnson Electric Holdings Limited said it will make a cash tender offer, through wholly owned subsidiary Gatebrook Ltd., to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Saia-Burgess, a leading global supplier of stepper motors and sub-systems.
The offer price values Saia-Burgess (Murten, Switzerland ) at approximately CHF 695.9 million (U.S. $548.5 million). Johnson Electric (Hong Kong) expects to assume CHF 117.5 million net debt (U.S. $92.4 million) in connection with the offer. The offer is subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions, including tender of at least 50 percent plus one of the fully diluted shares outstanding. The Saia-Burgess board of directors unanimously approved the acquisition proposal and will recommend to Saia-Burgess shareholders that they approve the transaction.
Management at Johnson Electric and Saia-Burgess are said to be in agreement about the growth synergies resulting from this transaction. Both companies have more than 50 percent of revenues derived from the automotive industry, with Johnson Electric's strength in DC motors complemented by Saia-Burgess' strength in stepper motors. The industrial segment represents 40 percent of Saia-Burgess' business portfolio, providing an opportunity to leverage Johnson Electric's sales reach into Asian markets. The industrial controls expertise of Saia-Burgess in combination with Johnson Electric's expertise in motor control is said to present another potential growth opportunity in the controls segment.
In a separate news release today, Saia-Burgess announced support for the Johnson Electric proposal and reiterated its rejection of a previous tender offer from Sumida Corporation.
"The strategic, industrial logic and culture alignment between Johnson Electric and our company is a compelling combination that will accelerate growth and assist in executing the Saia-Burgess strategic plan," said Saia-Burgess CEO Daniel Hirschi.
''Saia-Burgess is a very successful and well managed company, with a great track record of innovation and product excellence,'' said Patrick Wang, chairman and CEO of Johnson Electric. ''I envision that this acquisition will yield exciting innovations with high value to our customers."

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — In the end, the Blackhawks' 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday afternoon was just another hockey game. Just another two points to be won.
"Once the first puck dropped," said Jonathan Toews, Winnipeg's favorite son, who was facing his boyhood team for the first time, "it was back to business as usual."
And for the Hawks these days, that means a lot of guys scoring a lot of goals. Toews and Patrick Kane were kept off the scoresheet, but the Hawks still scored at least five goals for the third straight game, and the fourth time in their last five.
While the focus entering the game was on Toews' homecoming, and Jets fans focused their taunts on Kane and Corey Crawford, the Hawks' fourth line starred in this one. Brandon Bollig (goal, assist), Marcus Kruger (two assists) and Ben Smith (goal) were each a plus-3 on the day. It was Bollig's first career two-point game. The Hawks' enforcer briefly entertained the idea of dropping the gloves for the old Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
"I did," he admitted. "If it wasn't a 5-1 game, that would have probably been the first thing on my mind."
Bollig, one of four Hawks growing a mustache to raise awareness for men's health issues in "Movember," shaved for the first time in a long time on Friday.
"My beard was weighing me down," he reasoned.
The Hawks actually trailed 1-0 early after Toby Enstrom beat Crawford (26 saves). But they scored five unanswered goals after that. Niklas Hjalmarsson scored midway through the first, then Bollig, Patrick Sharp and Leddy scored in the first six minutes of the second period to chase Ondrej Pavelec (10 saves) and bring in Al Montoya. Toews couldn't convert on a breakaway on Montoya — Chicago's Winnipeg native bested by Winnipeg's Chicago native — and Kane hit the crossbar on a penalty shot. But Smith's redirection of a Bollig shot capped the scoring midway through the third.
Toews was kicking himself for failing to corral a knuckling puck on his breakaway, but was happy to defer to his teammates on his big day.
"We're a strong team when we roll four lines and everyone's contributing — we saw that today," he said. "It's what makes us a dangerous team, when we have so many guys that can go and score in any which way."

The London 2012 Olympic Games might have come to an end but the Paralympic Games begins on 29 August, running through to 9 September, and throughout the whole event so far there has been a lot of talk about the role of genetics in elite sport. So, are Olympic athletes genetically better at sport? According to an article in Nature, "almost every male Olympic sprinter and power athlete ever tested carries the 577R allele, a variant of the gene ACTN3". This gene is expressed in skeletal muscle fibre and could have an effect on athletic performance – in total, more than 200 genes have been linked with athletic performance, including variants that improve endurance, or increase the numbers of red blood cells, so upping oxygen carrying capabilities in the blood.
This leads a number of questions:
As we learn more about genetics, we understand that in most cases a single mutation does not act alone. According to Ted Friedmann, chair of the genetics panel of the World Anti-Doping Agency: "Genes work in an enormously complicated set of interactions, and no gene works by itself. If you have the gene for speed or endurance, all the other genes you carry that [help] or work against that will affect how that gene expresses itself."
So whether athletes have no genetic mutations, one mutation, or a set of mutations, it still requires a combination of opportunity, environment, attitude, environment, determination and training, to make an Olympic athlete. It is still a lot of hard work.

Die Fledermaus (en.The Bat) is a comic operetta composed by Johann Strauss II to a German libretto by Carl Haffner and Richard Genée. It premiÚred on April 5, 1874 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, Austria. Despite being an operetta, it is the claimed by Opera America to be the ninteenth most performed "opera" in North America.
The original source for Die Fledermaus is a farce by German playwright Julius Roderich Benedix (1811â1873), Das GefĂ€ngnis (The Prison). Another source is a French vaudeville play, Le RĂ©veillon, by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic HalĂ©vy. Their play was first translated by Carl Haffner as a straight play to be produced in Vienna. However, the peculiarly French custom of the rĂ©veillon (a midnight supper party) caused problems, which were solved by the decision to adapt the play as a libretto for Johann Strauss, with the rĂ©veillon replaced by a Viennese ball. At this point Haffner's translation was handed over for adaptation to Richard GenĂ©e, who subsequently claimed not only that he had made a fresh translation from scratch but that he had never even met Haffner.
Outline of the plot
The Baron von Eisenstein has been committed to prison for eight days for insulting an official, partly through the inefficiency of his attorney, the stuttering Notary Blind, and is to begin his imprisonment this day. His friend, Dr. Falke, however, persuades him to postpone it until the morrow and to accompany him to a ball at the residence of Prince Orlofsky, where he will meet the handsome ladies of the opera ballet. Falke had been at a masked ball the previous winter, costumed as a bat, and had been compelled by Eisenstein to walk to his home in broad daylight to the joy and amusement of the populace. He hopes to find an opportunity for vengeance at the coming ball. Eisenstein accepts the invitation, and telling his wife he is going to prison, and taking a mournful farewell of her and the maid AdĂšle, hastens with Falke to the ball. After his departure Rosalinde, his wife, is visited by a former admirer, the singing teacher, Alfred, whose behaviour is rather free. The night has set in and Frank, the governor of the prison, has come to take Eisenstein to jail. He finds Alfred taking his ease attired in a smoking jacket, and he, in order not to compromise Rosalinde, moved by her prayers, is induced to represent himself as Eisenstein and to accompany Frank. Falke, who has received plein pouvoir from Prince Orlofsky, has also invited the governor of the prison, Frank, the maid AdĂšle, and to complete the joke, Rosalinde, to be his guests at the ball. The latter, in order to observe her husband, appears masked. She is introduced by Falke as an Hungarian countess, and succeeds during an amorous tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte in abstracting from the pockets of her husband his valuable watch, to use in the future as evidence of his impropriety. Frank has paid court to AdĂšle, and the next morning they all find themselves in prison, when the confusion increases, for Falke has introduced Eisenstein as Marquis Renard, Frank as Chevalier Chagrin and AdĂšle as an actress. It is still further increased by the jailer, Frosch, who has profited by the absence of the prison director to become gloriously drunk. AdĂšle arrives to obtain the assistance of the Chevalier Chagrin, Eisenstein to begin his prison term, Alfred wants to get out of jail, Rosalinde to commence action for divorce, and Frank is still intoxicated. Frosch locks up AdĂšle and her sister Ida, and the height of the tumult has been reached when Falke arrives with all the guests of the ball and declares the whole as an act of vengeance for the "Fledermaus." Everything is amicably arranged, but Eisenstein is compelled to serve his full term in jail.

Recent productions
Over the decades, the non-singing role of Frosch, the drunken jailer, who first appears in Act III, has come to be seen as the comic highlight of each production. Accordingly, casting usually pays special attention to that character, and Frosch is almost always played by a well-known and much-loved comedian.
In many modern productions, the role of Prince Orlofsky is played by a woman.
While being the show traditionally performed in theatres on New Year's Eve, Die Fledermaus has recently also seen more provocative productions, for example the one directed by Hans Neuenfels at the 2001 Salzburg Festival. With the action transposed into the 1920s, the ball at Orlofsky's metamorphoses into an orgy where decadent guests preferring cocaine to champagne meet some of the harbingers of Nazism â a place where any waltz immediately becomes a waltz into darkness. The scandal had been announced by artistic director GĂ©rard Mortier, but nevertheless part of the audience reacted with fierce criticism. Among the critics was a 57-year-old general practitioner who, supported by Austria's authority on opera, Marcel Prawy, at least one tabloid, and the Austrian Freedom Party, sued the Salzburg Festival, demanding his money back. The ensuing trial triggered a heated debate on the state of the freedom of the arts in Austria.
A production that opened on June 22, 2005, at the Belgrade National Theatre, Serbia was directed by Plamen Kartaloff. The costumes, designed by noted Serbian painter and sculptor Olja Ivanjicki, together with the choreography alluded to the "Fledermaus" as Batman. This was the sixth production of Die Fledermaus in Belgrade since it had its premiere there on May 26, 1907.
