First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Time Warner Cable app now on iPhone
Time Warner Cable has extended its membership in the "there's an app for that" club, announcing today its new TWC TV app for iPhone is now available on iTunes. The app lets subscribers watch live TV -- from within their homes -- change channels on their set-top box and manage recordings on their DVRs.
The TWC TV apps shows a seven-day interactive program guide with listings that includes descriptions of programs, box art and the option to display "HD only" or "favorites only" by building a favorite channel list. Users can search for shows by title and filter those results by genre. The Time Warner iPhone app mimics the features of the company's apps for iPad and Android devices, and it's quite similar an app available for AT&T Uverse subscribers.
Apps for enhancing, enjoying TV & movies
The iPad is quickly becoming a popular companion to television, and Fanhattan and Viggle, a couple of pretty interesting apps, recently added some new features making watching TV and movies more enjoyable.
Fanhattan, an app for iPhones and iPads that helps TV fans browse through the massive collections of on-demand video online, today announced it's adding content from more than 60 entertainment publications, including Billboard, E!, Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood Reporter, People and Rolling Stone.
The app already let users research and stream free and paid TV shows and movies from sources like iTunes, Vudu, Netflix, Hulu. The new deal adds news, features, reviews and other content through the app's "fan feed," which lets you scroll through stories, share those articles over social media and instantly bring up bios of the actors and other celebrities mentioned in each piece.
The news in that fan feed isn't the freshest -- it all seems about 24 hours old -- but the integration with all of the related media is pretty tight and intelligent. »Read Full Blog Post
PBS Kids Video app grows up to iPhone, iPod touch
PBS Kids released a video app today for the iPhone and iPod touch, offering free streaming to more than 2,000 videos, including clips and full episodes from series like "Sesame Street," "Curious George" and "Dinosaur Train."
PBS already published a video app for the iPad, which has been downloaded more than 450,000 times and streamed out more than 430 million videos – an average of 2 million a day.
The iPhone-touch version of the app now on iTunes expands the mobile viewing audience just in time for the holidays, when some children will be opening up iDevices as gifts and others are using their parents' while traveling to see friends and family.
The app also streams videos from PBS shows "Super Why," "Wordgirl," "Wild Kratts" and "The Cat In The Hat Knows A lot About That!" as well as providing local PBS station TV schedules; the ability to download related educational apps and TV episodes; and sharing of PBS videos through e-mail, Facebook and Twitter.
The PBS KIDS Video App is part of the PBS Kids' suite of apps, which are designed to help children exercise skill like literacy, science and math.
High-tech gadgets offer plenty for gifts
Every year gadgets and their accessories are the hot gifts to give and get.
And shoppers are going to spend a record amount on electronics gifts this holiday. In fact, according to the Consumer Electronics Association, buyers are going to blow an all-time-high average of $246 on electronics gifts, up 6% from last year, based on its most recent study released this fall.
The trade group's 18th annual holiday buying study found that overall spending will increase, too, rising 3% to an average of $769. So if the numbers are true, shoppers are hot for high-tech, and I've assembled a list of gadgety goodness for stuffing those stockings. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Apple's goodies top children's holiday wish list
Apple's elegant line of high-tech toys are at the top of children's holiday gift wish list this year, according to a new survey from Nielsen.
The iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone were the top three most-wanted gadgets among youngsters ages 6 to 12, according to the research firm's blog. Apple's tablet was the most popular, with 44% of children saying they wanted one, up from 31% last year. The iPod Touch enticed 30% of children in the survey, and the iPhone, 27%.
Gaming gadgets also placed pretty well: 25% of children in the survey said they were interested in Nintendo's 3DS, and 23% coveted Microsoft's Kinect motion-gaming system for the Xbox 360. As for the game systems themselves, interest in the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii came in at 17%, 16% and 11%, respectively. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Milwaukee's Apple fans snatch up iPhone 4S
Apple's iPhone 4S went on sale today, and people around the Milwaukee area are eagerly buying the new smartphone -- and tweeting about it. Here's some of the latest buzz about the iPhone 4S launch in Milwaukee. We promise regular updates throughout the day.
Help write Milwaukee's iPhone 4S story
The launch of Apple's iPhone 4S is tantalizingly close, going on sale Friday.
Buyers will line up all over the Milwaukee area to grab the latest smartphone, and what better way to announce to the world that you own the latest greatest than shouting out over social media?
So instead of just sending me out to interview a handful of people at a few locations, we'll be using a cool social media tool call Storify to pull your tweets, Facebook posts, YouTube videos and other social media expression related to the iPhone 4S launch in Milwaukee. If you are curious what the finished product will look like, check out some of our other compilations using Storify, including reaction to Carol Deptolla's Top 30 Restaurants; the Netflix-Qwikster drama; and Hurricane Irene.
If you're sounding off on Twitter about the iPhone 4S, consider using the hashtag #mkeiphone to help us find you, or just tag @tapmilwaukee or @stanmiller. We want to know what you like, what you don't like, if you have any problems buying the phone or if it's all smooth sailing. This time, you get to help write the iPhone story. (1)
Apple beaming out iOS 5 now
I was in a meeting when they flipped the switch, but it is worth noting that iOS 5, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, is out and available for download. The free upgrade adds more than 200 features to iPhones starting from the 3GS, iPads and later models of the iPod Touch.
You can get the latest download now by updating iTunes, connecting your iOS device and ... clicking the update button on the iDevice's summary page. I still have 14 minutes to go before the download completes. Meanwhile, check out Tested.com, which has a nice walkthrough of how to properly update to iOS 5. They're a bit more formal than my approach, but they are in the right.
Tested also offers fine advice on how to get started with iCloud backups and sync that is worth reading. And if that's not enough iOS goodness, read through a couple of reviews from CNET and Engadget. As if bad reviews would dissuade you from downloading it, right?
Yeah... not likely.
Apple's iPhone 4S: Faster, stronger but no killer app?
Apple pulled back the curtain on the iPhone 4S on Tuesday, a faster, more powerful model of the popular smartphone that will go on sale Oct 14.
Apple executives took the stage at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., at an invite-only event to unveil the device and new versions of iPod nanos and the iPod Touch.
The new iPhone's improved speed, enhanced camera and other features were described as evolutionary instead of revolutionary by technology experts, who said the new model is a decent upgrade. »Read Full Blog Post(12)
Emotionally ready for the new iPhone?
After more than a year of waiting and rumor-fueled speculation, Apple will take the wraps off the next iPhone noon Tuesday.
Can you feel the electricity in the air? It's a special time in many Apple fans' lives when the company tells them what they will spend hundreds of dollars and why. The impending reveal is also a blissful release from the monotonous drone of analyst guesses, blog vapor and "reports" claiming to have the scoop on Apple's newest member of the iPhone family. Man, thank goodness it's almost over -- until the next iPhone, anyway.
What should the iPhone-interested expect? If you believe the hype, maybe a slightly thinner iPhone with a bigger screen, better camera and faster processor. It might be available from Sprint, in addition to AT&T and Verizon, which already sell it the iPhone 4.
Many sources agree the most exciting news Tuesday will be on the software and services side of the iPhone, including a solid launch date for iOS 5, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system going live this fall, and more details on iCloud, Apple's online data storage and sharing service.
iPhone 5 reveal on Oct. 4, says the buzz
In the ongoing saga that is speculation over the next iPhone, the Apple-cozy blog All Things D cites anonymous sources who say the company will take the wraps off the next iPhone on Oct. 4 in a special event.
Tim Cook, Apple's freshly crowned CEO, gets the honors, says the tech blog, "according to sources close to the situation." The iPhone-loving masses will get to buy the next-generation of the device "within a few weeks after the announcement," the blog says.
So mark your calendars, and hold your breath: Oct. 4 is the day the magic happens.
Regarding Steve
It's taking some time to sink in.
Yes, it was inevitable, that Apple would eventually have to move on without Steve Jobs at the helm. Yes, yes, he remains as chairman of the board, but the tone of resignation letter published by Apple sounds such a sad, sobering note.
Few people -- if any -- have so dramatically shaped the way the world relates to personal technology. From the Mac OS, to iTunes, to nearly the ubiquitous iDevices stuffed in pockets and purses around the world, Apple's inventions reinvented how we communicate, entertain and enlighten ourselves. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
iPhone 5 lands in October on Sprint, AT&T & Verizon
The next iPhone, likely to be called the iPhone 5, will go on sale in mid-October from AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Journal says the new iPhone is expected to be similar to the iPhone 4 but thinner and lighter, packing a better digital camera and an improved operating system -- features that are all in line with months of tech blog speculation. Apple announced in June that it would release a new version of its iOS mobile operating system, leading many to expect a new device to accompany the reveal of the latest software.
I, for one, am looking to interviewing people camping outside of Sprint stores during the wee hours just before the new iPhone goes on sale. See you there.
Tech bits: Cheaper iPhone 4; Google+ in Gmail; Time pubs on the Nook
Apple will start selling a cheaper 8GB iPhone 4 "within weeks," according to Reuters, which claims Apple wants to offer a lower-end model to customers in emerging markets and more budget-conscious consumers.
For anyone still using Google+, posts will start appearing in Gmail messages soon, according to a story from Technolog.
Fox started delaying the online viewing of its TV shows for about a week after airing, and now piracy of those programs are rising, says the Bits blog.
Six Time magazine titles are now on Barnes & Noble's Nook Color, including Time, Sports Illustrated and People, says a story from Mashable.
Milwaukee Zoo's app: a 99 cent digital tour guide
Just in time for Zoo Ala Carte, the Milwaukee County Zoo has signed up with the app uGuide to help visitors tour its friendly confines.
The 99 cent app for iPhones and the Touch bundles all kinds of information about the zoo, including directions, rides, prices and of course, its resident animals. There are more than 50 points of interest with facts about the exhibits, as well as dining options, ATM locations and yes, restrooms.
The app also lets users seamlessly take photos and then beam them out using Facebook or Twitter accounts. And the guide's GPS feature can plot your position within zoo grounds and help you navigate using a digital map. In addition to the zoo's guide, uGuideme's app lets users download guides for other venues across the country, both official and unofficial. (2)
Free 'Rage' on iTunes for a limited time
For many owners of iPhones and related gadgets, the idea of mobile gaming is defined by casual titles like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.
And that's a good thing. However, when an opportunity arises to get a free "hardcore" game with outstanding production values, well, why not jump on it?
Well Id Software promised a while back to give away the iPhone and iPad versions of its game Rage if it got 100,000 "likes" on Facebook. With that mission accomplished, the game will be free for one week on iTunes so get it while you can.
Rage is a first-person action game that plays out in a post-apocalyptic setting, and as someone who paid full price for the game, I can say it's well worth downloading for free.
Latest iPhone 5 rumor: on sale Oct. 7
The iPhone 5, obsessed over so often that 35% of potential buyers are willing to snatch it up sight unseen, is currently rumored to go on sale Oct. 7, according to the site 9To5Mac, citing anonymous sources. Preorders would begin Sept. 30, the site claims.
Conjecture swirling around Apple's latest iPhone claims the company plans to reveal two new phones this fall: a true upgrade to the iPhone 4 and a second, cheaper model. Rumor mongers suggest the iPhone 5 will include Apple's dual-core A5 processor, an eight megapixel camera, iOS 5 and new software like a voice-based navigation system.
Google-Motorola deal flavors phones, TVs, home networking
Google is getting into the mobile phone business in a whole new way, announcing today it's buying Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.
Buying Motorola's cell phone-making division changes the nature of Android's competition with Apple and the iPhone, and it puts Google in direct competition with its Android hardware partners including Samsung and HTC. Google says Android will stay an open system, according to the New York Times, and the AP notes that Google gains more than 17,000 patents on phone technology through the purchase.
Interestingly enough, however, is that Google also gets Motorola's set-top box and cable-modem operations, which present some exciting opportunities for the company to better expand its profile into the living room and home networking. Google TV has been a bust so far, but just think if the system was beamed to every Motorola cable modem in the U.S. -- or bundled in with the next generation of home networking equipment? (2)
Two charged in the iPhone 4 prototype case
Prosecutors in California have filed criminal charges against two men who got hold of an iPhone 4 prototype last year and sold it to the gadget blog Gizmodo, according to CNET. Check out their story here.

Why We Shouldn't Be Surprised That Susan G Komen for the Cure is Anti-Women
By Douglas A. Berg
Nancy Goodman Brinker, a pioneer of "cause marketing", founded Susan G. Komen For the Cure in 1982, reportedly as the fulfillment of a deathbed promise made to her sister, a victim of breast cancer. In 1994, Brinker founded In Your Corner, Inc., a for-profit company that markets health products and information. In 1998, Brinker sold In Your Corner to AstraZeneca, the third largest pesticide manufacturer in the world, primarily through Syngenta, a giant global agribusiness company it owns jointly with Novartis.

More than 1000 Global Physicians Demand Freedom for Bahraini Medics
Saturday 26th November – International Day of Action to support the medics
Location:Freedom Plaza to the Embassy of Bahrain.
Time:Meet in Freedom Plaza at 11:30 am or the UDC metro station at 12:00 pm for a march to the Embassy of Bahrain
Over 1,000 medical workers from 30 different countries have signed a petition calling for an immediate dropping of all charges against the 20 Bahraini medics facing up to 15 years in jail.
On Monday, Nov. 28, the 20 will face a civilian court after international outrage forced the prosecution to backtrack on the original sentences. In what is a clear case of political persecution, the medics face trial for treating injured protesters.
In an attempt to support the medics, physicians around the world will be handing the petition to different Bahrain embassies and consulates on Saturday 26th November.
26 states file Supreme Court health care appeal
By MARK SHERMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) - The 26 states that have sued to overturn President Barack Obama's health care overhaul have filed a Supreme Court appeal pressing for a speedy ruling to the "grave constitutional questions" surrounding the law.
The appeal is similar to one from the National Federation of Independent Business that asks the justices to strike down the entire law, not just the main requirement that individuals purchase insurance or pay a penalty beginning in 2014.
The states also object to the expansion of the federal-state Medicaid program and a requirement that states offer their employees a certain level of insurance coverage or pay penalties.

America is Diseased: Mocking the Dying, Profiting off the Work of Uninsured Artists
By Dave Lindorff
The first thing that needs to be said to the heartless boneheads who, at the last Republican presidential debate, cheered at the idea of letting a hypothetical 30-year-old cancer victim who hadn't bought health insurance die, is that this is no mere hypothetical situation. The second thing that needs to be said is that most such people in real life don't "refuse to get" health insurance. They either cannot afford it (and their employer doesn't provide it), or they are rejected by insurers because of pre-existing conditions.
War Spending: The Idea Whose Name Cannot be Mentioned at The Times
By Dave Lindorff
When you are the New York Times, or in this case, one of the only real liberal columnists working for the Times anymore, there are apparently some things you just cannot mention.
How else to explain how a seemingly intelligent economist like Paul Krugman can scorch the Republicans in Congress and President Obama for failing to deal with the crisis of joblessness and deepening economic collapse in the U.S., but never once mention the endless and pointless wars into which the country is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars a year?
Here's Krugman:
Appeals court strikes health insurance requirement
ATLANTA (AP) - A federal appeals court panel on Friday struck down the requirement in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul package that virtually all Americans must carry health insurance or face penalties.
The divided three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the so-called individual mandate, which is considered the centerpiece of the law, siding with 26 states that had sued to block the law. But the panel didn't go as far as a lower court that had invalidated the entire overhaul as unconstitutional.
Government attorneys can - and likely will - ask the full 11th Circuit to review the panel's ruling. They also can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which many legal observers expect to have the final say on the issue.
U.S. Physicians Spend Nearly Four Times More On Health Insurance Costs Than Canadian Counterparts
ScienceDaily (Aug. 4, 2011) — U.S. physicians spend nearly $61,000 more than their Canadian counterparts each year on administrative expenses related to health insurance, according to a new study by researchers at Cornell University and the University of Toronto.
The study, published in the August issue of the journal Health Affairs, found that per-physician costs in the U.S. averaged $82,975 annually, while Ontario-based physicians averaged $22,205 -- primarily because Canada's single-payer health care system is simpler.
Reading Nietzsche in Starbucks
By John Grant
When the human waste of politics gets to piling up so deep you want to run screaming into the night, a good remedy is to fall back to the powerful historical minds and immerse yourself in some great writing. I ran into this dilemma last Sunday, after a morning of reading The New York Times about the continuing blackmail antics of Rep. John Boehner and Senator Mitch McConnell and their merry band of Teabag Republican cutthroats.
America's Big Speed-Up: No Wonder the Jobless Rate is Staying at Depression Levels
By Dave Lindorff
My wife Joyce and I were renting a car for the week this morning at a Hertz office just outside Philadelphia. There was a line of people either waiting to pick up a vehicle, or to return one.
The harried clerk behind the counter -- the only guy in the office -- was fielding calls while trying to serve the first guy in line, who was trying to rent a car for a vacation trip with his wife to North Carolina's Outer Banks. No sooner would the poor clerk sit down at the computer to start typing in the information from the man's driver's license than the phone would ring -- a phone that was located on a desk in a cubicle behind him, requiring him to get up and run around to the back cubicle.
The man at the counter, and others in the line, sighed audibly.
The (T)'s Continue the "Screw You" to Soldiers/Vets and Families of
Now over a decade with two wars of choice and added to the previous decades of ignored issues and not fully funding the Veterans Administration, thus saving monies instead of increased costs to catchup with the needs, as to the results of our wars. Easier to lay blame on the agency rather then the country, the 99% who don't serve it, who collectively don't look in the mirror at their total lack of Sacrifice as they wave those flags!
Last night, 30 July 2011, the Congressional House (T)'s did exactly what many thought they would and now the Congressional Senate (T)'s, going into their oft used filibuster, follow the Houses lead, and their Supporters Cheer, a day after this:
DeJa-Vu: Long Past the Wars
A Country that is willing to 'Sacrifice', Not the U.S.!
As we've seen since Korea and especially from our long War of Choice, Vietnam and since! To easy to ignore the Veterans of and the few really concerned citizens, PTS, Agent Orange/Defoliant poisoning, Suicides, Gulf War Syndrome and so much more of the not so distant past and the now rising concerns of the present. Way to easy to lay blame on the Agency especially by congressional representatives, calling that conservatism, and the people, then to fund on the front end, knowing the long term results of our invasions and occupations will have costs similar to the ever growing defense costs, thus saving money long term than to Demand the Same Sacrifice demanded of the soldier, sailor and marine and their families, now over a decade of No Sacrifice and certainly No Demand For!
Senator Coburn to Vietnam Veterans: Shove It!!
Add in vitter trying to block the VA budget in the Senate {below} and the tepubs are continuing their decades long obstruction of Veterans Issues while laying blame constantly on the VA and their supporters love that, including veterans among them!!
Since the 110th congress and with Gen. Shinseki in they've been trying to play catchup with What Wasn't Done Nor Mentioned in the 108th and 9th while they rubber stamped two more wars of choice and with Still No Demand from the Country as to their own Sacrifice now over a decade, added to the previous decades!!
I'm sure though they still have a supply of those 'purple heart bandages' they so enjoyed, pointed directly at us in-country Navy personal, while sending those troops into these two conflicts!!
Family Feud: Blacks Battle Blacks over Criticism of Obama
By Linn Washington, Jr.
So, some black folks are bashing Princeton Professor Cornell West for his sharply phrased critiques of President Barack Obama's failure to specifically address crisis- proportion problems in a long-suffering segment of American society: the black community.
Black supporters of the first African-American president echo the rationale advanced by Obama himself that he is the president of all Americans so addressing issues specific to African-American would be inappropriate.
However, that view side-steps the critical issue of the very American right to criticize a U.S. President.
Compounding the First Amendment criticism issue is the reality that Obama has addressed issues important to specific groups, including gays and women. He has even been addressing the issues of his political adversaries, the Republicans, like his embracing their demands for deficit reducing austerity by slashing services to the most needy.
Health Care in Cuba and America
Health Care in Cuba and America - by Stephen Lendman
Under Article 50 of Cuba's Constitution:
"Everyone has the right to health protection and care. The state guarantees this right:
-- by providing free medical and hospital care by means of the installations of the rural medical service network, polyclinics, hospitals, preventative and specialized treatment centers;
-- by providing free dental care;
-- by promoting the health publicity campaigns, health education, regular medical examinations, general vaccination and other measures to prevent the outbreak of disease. All the population cooperates in these activities and plans through the social and mass organizations."
Chavez: Alive, Well and Recuperating in Caracas
Chavez: Alive, Well, and Recuperating in Caracas - by Stephen Lendman
Responding in longer form to erroneous reports of his death, Mark Twain now is quoted saying, "Reports of my death death were greatly exaggerated."
Recently, major media managed (made up) news suggested that Hugo Chavez is seriously ill and close to death. Recuperating from illness, yes. Potentially terminal, absolutely not. From Caracas, Eva Golinger's July 1 article explained - headlined, "Chavez Overcomes Health Issue: Alive and Well, Despite Myths," accessed through the following link:
More on her article below.
Throughout his tenure, major media in America, other Western countries, and Venezuela mercilessly bashed Chavez. In fact, they've shamelessly vilified him with slanderous pejoratives, while ignoring his popular support for over 12 years for providing vital social services fast disappearing in America and other Western countries.
On Fathers Day 'Think!' of the 'Gold Star Children'
And yes I do realize there are 'Gold Star Children' who have lost Mothers, especially in these two long conflicts, not minimizing the fact that many of the women soldiers killed were possibly Mothers as they all were Daughters, Sisters or Nieces and Aunts, the greater numbers killed still in war are male.
CBS sought out a message with meaning for Fathers Day, that aired June 17 2011, and I totally agree with the one they found which among many messages it should send ties our long war of choice, Vietnam where this Country said it would remember the lessons of, to both current wars of choice, Afghanistan and Iraq, lessons forgotten five minutes after Vietnam and so many DeJa-Vu's of then repeated with many enhanced and coming on faster.
"The Politics of Cancer"
"The Politics of Cancer" - by Stephen Lendman
University of Illinois School of Public Health and Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition Professor Emeritus Samuel S. Epstein chose the above title for his award-winning 1978 book, updated 20 years later in his important work titled, "The Politics of Cancer Revisited." More about both books below.
Epstein is an internationally recognized cancer expert and its avoidable causes, especially exposure to industrial carcinogens in air, water, food, consumer products, pesticides, prescription drugs, and workplace environments.
His decades of activities, public advocacy, awards, and distinctions are too numerous to mention. He also authored or co-authored a dozen books, as well as hundreds of peer reviewed articles on public health related issues, ones seldom getting enough mainstream attention if any.
Paying For War: The Results From
Notice how the congressional tepublicans, and especially their cult like followers, never mention the Wars after rubber stamping everything but Veterans Care and even Military Care related to while talking about the growing budget problems they created when they controlled it all. Even now gaining back the House and a few more in the Senate, to continue obstruction, they have sought to cut area's of the Veterans Admin budget!
June 3, 2011 - Even as the wars wind down in Iraq and Afghanistan the financial cost of taking care of veterans continues to mount and could reach a trillion dollars in coming decades

Vermont Enacts Conditional Universal Healthcare Coverage
Vermont Enacts Conditional Universal Healthcare Coverage - by Stephen Lendman
Numerous previous articles discussed Obamacare, described accurately as a rationing scheme to enrich insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains in lieu of universal single payer coverage.
Obama hailed its March 2010 passage as answering "the call of history." In fact, Ralph Nader was right calling it a "pay-or-die system that is the disgrace of the Western world," costing double what other Western countries spend and delivering less, rationing care to enrich corporate providers while making a dysfunctional system worse.
Under it, junk insurance policies leave millions underinsured. Costs remain out-of-control. Insurers can still deny care by delaying, contesting, preventing or over-charging people from accessing it. Yet everyone must be covered or penalized if opt out, a provision many states are contesting as a lawless unconstitutional infringement.
Ask HHS Secretary Sebelius to Allow Vermont to Provide Its Citizens With Healthcare
Firedoglake and Physicians for a National Health Program
Petition to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services
Vermont has enacted a law that will put the state on a path towards achieving a universal health care system. The people, many in the state legislature and the governor of Vermont have expressed a desire to go even further to a universal single payer health care system, one which will guarantee coverage of medically necessary care and will control health care costs. If achieved, this will serve as an important model for our nation.
Oh, I guess civilians could be affected too
Occupational Lung Diseases in Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans
ScienceDaily (May 18, 2011) — A session presented May 18 explored the inhalational exposures and respiratory outcomes of military deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Presenters reviewed current knowledge on complex inhalational exposures, epidemiologic studies, animal toxicology studies, and clinical lung findings in U.S. military men and women who are returning from Southwest Asia.
Obama Denies Vermont Healthcare
Here's the news as I received it in an Email from Thom Hartmann's radio show on Wednesday:
"Vermont is one step-closer to becoming the first state to set up a truly universal, single-payer health care system. The Vermont Senate passed the new healthcare bill yesterday - following in the footsteps of the state House that passed the bill last month. Now - it just needs to be signed into law by Governor Peter Shumlin who's already expressed his support for the measure. There IS one last step though - Vermont would need to secure a waiver to opt out of Obamacare in order to build its own healthcare system.

Evotec said today it won a €1.5 million ($1.9 million) milestone payment from Boehringer Ingelheim for advancing an undisclosed pain compound into preclinical development.
The payment marks the 18th milestone achieved under Evotec's nine-year-old research alliance with BI, and the first to be announced this year. The companies entered into a multi-year, multi-target drug discovery alliance in 2004, with the goal of jointly identifying and developing preclinical development candidates for various disease areas including CNS, inflammation, cardiometabolic, and respiratory diseases.
The collaboration was extended in 2009 for an additional four years, and its scope expanded to include oncology targets.
Under their agreement, BI has full ownership and global responsibility for clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of identified compounds, while Evotec receives in return ongoing research payments and preclinical milestones. The agreement also provides Evotec with potential payments for successful milestone achievements during clinical development, as well as royalties when new drugs reach the market.
Last year, Evotec racked up €13.5 million ($17.4 million) in revenue from BI, its top collaboration partner. That accounted for nearly 21% of the total €65.2 million earned in 2012 by Evotec from its top 10 collaborations, the company said in its 2012 annual report.
And through its acquisition of DeveloGen in 2010, Evotec has a separate collaboration with BI focused on developing small molecules to treat type 2 diabetes by targeting insulin resistance without causing weight gain. Under that collaboration, Evotec says it could receive up to €237 million in milestone payments plus "significant" royalties.
BI is one of several drug developers with which Evotec has long-term discovery alliances; the others include Bayer, CHDI, Genentech, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, MedImmune/AstraZeneca, and Ono Pharmaceutical.

'Party Down' - 'Steve Guttenberg's Birthday': Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? We do!
A review of tonight's "Party Down" coming up just as soon as I buy a fleet of blimps...
"Making art is an act of courage. Do you know who said that?" -Steve Guttenberg
"Steve Guttenberg!" -Casey
Steve Guttenberg is a joke to many (at least, to those who still remember that window in the mid-'80s where he was somehow neck and neck with Eddie Murphy for world's biggest comedy star), but to Fienberg and I, the man is a god. A few years back, Dan idly approached The Gutte at a press tour party and came away with a hilarious, completely random collection of non-sequitur answers and bits of wisdom, which you should immediately go and read here. Inspired by The Gospel of The Gutte, we made it a point to seek the man out at future events, and he did not disappoint with what was either complete lunacy or ego-less improv in the guise of lunacy.
Rob Thomas, who worked with The Gutte on "Veronica Mars" season two, liked to tell me that it was definitely the latter - that Guttenberg had made his money and didn't care, and was now just going to amuse himself - and by casting the man to play himself in tonight's episode, he's put the crazy-like-a-fox Gutte on wonderful display.
"Steve Guttenberg's Birthday" was at once a complete parody of The Gutte and a celebration of him as a man so awesome, Ayn Rand would have written about him.(*) He is rich, and cultured (though his DVD collection does include "Herbie Fully Loaded" on Blu-Ray), such a swell guy that he lets the Party Down team hang out at his house all day after the birthday mix-up, such a champion of the performing arts that he insists the gang get together to act out and workshop Roman's sci-fi script, and such a total stud that he steals the fetching Collette away from both McLovin(**) and Kyle.
(*) And Casey's explanation of Ayn Rand is by far my favorite sentence ever written on that subject.
(**) Question: how many years and/or memorable roles have to pass before we stop automatically thinking of Christopher Mintz-Plasse as McLovin? He was a very fine addition to the larger "Party Down" world as Roman's writing partner Kent Gerbels, but just as I was starting to embace him as this character and only this character, Roman salted Kent's game with Collette, and all I could think was, "You just cock-blocked McLovin!"
The two performances of Roman's script were briliant on every level, first in showing that behind Roman's superior attitude lies a hack whose idea of "hard sci-fi" is endless technobabble without plot or characterization, and then in showing a Henry briefly inspired to show off the acting gifts that "Are we having fun yet?" eclipsed. Adam Scott totally went for it in the second performance, and the fact that he was so good in performing that drek only made the scene funnier, even as it was yet another bittersweet reminder of the cruel business this show's characters lurk on the fringes of.
And Henry's bravura during the scene, coupled with a glimpse of him as the troubled teen of "Sundown Strip," aroused Casey's old feelings for Henry, leading to an awkward moment in the hot tub that promises to lead to many more interesting things for these two.
So much brilliance in this one, including some of the weirder and filthier parts of The Gutte's art collection (I will never look at porcupines the same way again) and Ron uttering the phrase "If he finds out I got a shrimp caught in his Koontz," as well as Ron cleaning himself up and yet remaining such a blithering idiot that he gets banned from AA.
I watched the season's first five episodes all in a burst a couple of months ago, and after not being crazy about either Lydia (who's better used here as she tries to soak up The Gutte's knowledge and pals around with her neighbor) or the Henry/Ron role reversal, this was the episode that convinced me season two was finally approaching the greatness of season one. I've since watched the next five, and they are wonderful. Whether or not the show comes back (and with Ryan Hansen's NBC pilot being picked up, that's yet another danger sign), there are a lot of laughs to look forward to before the season's done.
What did everybody else think?
