Affordable Care Act's copays may become no-pays
Collecting deductibles from people with little extra money could be difficult
How many people making $10 an hour — about $21,000 a year — have $200 in spare cash, much less $500?
The four community health centers in Milwaukee, which provide primary care and other services to roughly 80,000 people in low-income neighborhoods a year, already know the answer.
Not many.
Yet many of the health plans sold on the federal marketplace under the Affordable Care Act have deductibles of $200 or more, even after additional subsidies for people with limited incomes.
"We are never going to collect that money," said John Bartkowski, president and chief executive officer of Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers.
Collecting deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses from people with little if any extra money could be difficult for all physicians and health care providers. But the community health centers are likely to be affected disproportionately because they provide a large share of the care for people who have limited incomes.
The centers now provide care to roughly 1 in 8 people in Milwaukee, and the demand for their services is expected to increase as more people get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and the expansion of the state's Medicaid program.
"The burden tends to be on the health centers," said Peter Shin, an associate professor of health policy at George Washington University.
Nationally, about a third of the patients of community health centers are uninsured, and the expansion in coverage will benefit the centers overall.
In Wisconsin, adults with household incomes below the federal poverty level — $11,670 for an individual this year — will be eligible for coverage through BadgerCare Plus, the state's largest Medicaid program.
Many of the uninsured patients at community health centers have incomes below that threshold. Their gaining coverage will help offset any increase in bad debts from the deductibles for health plans sold on the federal marketplace.
"That's a significant population we serve," said Jenni Sevenich, chief executive of Progressive Community Health Centers.
Complicating factors
People without health insurance have paid a fee tied to their income. The minimum cost typically is $20 for an office visit. That's a fraction of what BadgerCare Plus will pay.
But adults with incomes above the poverty threshold will have to buy subsidized health insurance on the federal marketplace, and the relatively high deductibles are a concern.
"All the services they get from us will be out-of-pocket, so essentially to us, they are still uninsured," Sevenich said.
Compounding the problem is that many people are opting for health plans with the lowest monthly premiums, even though those plans may have higher deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses.
"This is one of the biggest challenges for health centers," said Shin of George Washington University.
The law provides additional subsidies to help offset deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses for people with incomes below 250% of the federal poverty threshold — $29,175 for an individual and $59,625 for a family of four — but only for people who pick a plan in the silver tier.
Someone who opts for a lower-cost plan in the bronze tier because it has a lower monthly premium will not receive the additional subsidy and will have a much higher deductible.
An additional complication is that a larger percentage of people will get coverage through private health plans in Wisconsin than in states that supported the Affordable Care Act.
The law envisioned adults with household incomes above 138% of the federal poverty threshold buying subsidized health plans on the federal marketplace. People with incomes below that would get coverage by expanding state Medicaid programs, with the federal government paying 100% of the cost the first three years, eventually dropping to 90% in subsequent years.
Plans vary widely
The Gov. Scott Walker administration, which opposes the Affordable Care Act, took a different approach.
It turned down the additional federal money — potentially more than $500 million over the next decade — while opting to expand the state's BadgerCare Plus program to cover all adults with incomes below the federal poverty threshold.
Adults with incomes above that will be eligible for subsidized health plans sold on the marketplace.
This means that adults with household incomes between 100% and 138% of the federal poverty threshold will get coverage through private health plans rather than BadgerCare Plus.
Those health plans, unlike BadgerCare Plus, have deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Citizen Action, a liberal political action group, estimates that 17,742 people in Milwaukee County and almost 70,000 statewide are in that income group.
The Walker administration has said that people will have more choices and better coverage with private health plans instead of being covered by a government program.
A study done by Citizen Action found that the least-expensive plan available for someone who is young and with an income of $12,000 a year costs $8 a month in Milwaukee County, said Kevin Kane, lead organizer for the group. But the plan also has a $500 deductible.
Other plans have lower deductibles but higher copays and other out-of-pocket expenses.
"There's a lot of variation," Kane said.
The deductibles, co-pays and other expenses, which are intended to keep the monthly premiums within reach, are an example of the trade-offs that went into trying to expand coverage while limiting the cost.
Collecting deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses is a concern, said William Jenkins, chief executive officer and executive director of Outreach Community Health Center.
But he expects the number of patients without insurance to decrease, and the state's expansion of BadgerCare Plus to benefit Outreach's patients.
It also should benefit the health centers.
Shin, the health policy professor, said that community health centers in states that are expanding their Medicaid programs are in a better position than their counterparts in other states.
"They won't be as vulnerable," he said.

The Telecaster is the Fender guitar that started a musical revolution. So simple, yet so incredibly versatile. Since its introduction in the early '50s, professional guitarists of all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster for its powerful tone and smooth playability. This Fender Standard Tele incorporates the best of the old and new with a fast-action maple neck, cast/sealed machine heads, 2 classic single-coil pickups, and 6-saddle/string-thru bridge all built upon an ash body.

I got an ash FSR in Nov '07 and let's start with what's not listed: it actually has a tortiseshell pickguard (not white), it has a 3-piece body, and it doesn't come with a gig bag (unlike the other standard teles). That said, it weighs a ton but sounds quite good. With the mexis, there is more variation in quality than the americans, so check you neck-body gap and neck well, but all in all its a great guitar. If looking for a vintage look you could easily throw on a fender vintage bridge, saddles, strap, and black pickguard and have a really nice fifties look. Highly recommended!

Was looking to be a Standard MIM Tele and then saw this beauty. I compared the two and the lite ash tele sounded great. Brought it home and started going over the "if it's a keeper" test. Took it to band practice: The finish and fret work is very good. The bridge pup screams, The neck pickup is a bit muddy. Guitar intonation off. Then looked at the bridge to neck relationship and, bummer; pocket not tight; bridge misaligned enough to have it go back. GC salesguy got me another one. While the neck pocket and alignment were better, the guitar sounded like a tin toy, and being also maple, was a lot lighter than the first. The volume pot was all jacked up and it seems like they tried to do a quick fix but it sat a lot higher than the tome pot. New ??? Maybe the third one will be a charm? Not holding my breath. Too bad as the price and overall vibe was real cool. Qulaity control is real subject though.

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
I purchased the Fender Standard Telecaster, Natural Ash with Maple Fretboard just a couple weeks ago from GuitarCenter.com. I was even able to obtain a coupon for my purchase. Kudos to Guitar Center, as other online retailers did not offer coupons for Fender products. Anyway, this guitar has a super smooth neck and the action from factory set up is on the low side (like I like it). It stays in tune even after I leave it hanging on the wall for a few hours. The natural wood is gorgeous and the tortoiseshell pickguard it matches nicely. The gloss isn't too bright and doesn't take away from the natural finish. I should also mention that the neck does not have a gloss finish but a satin finish, which is very smooth. The quality of this guitar is spot on! I did, however, have to reattach the Tone control knob because it fell off when taking the guitar out of the plastic. No big deal and a quick fix with a small flathead screwdriver. I played several guitars prior to purchase such as a Squier Classic Vibe and the Fender Modern Telecaster. The feel of this Tele is exactly what I was looking for. I personally don't think you will be disappointed with this guitar. I have played acoustic guitar for 12 years and only recently began playing electric, so the transition was quite surprising. This Tele is very easy to play in comparison.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
I was in the market for a new guitar and I wanted something more vintage looking so I did some online shopping and came across this beauty! I went to my local store and there she was hanging on the wall waiting for me! I bought it almost sight unseen and I am 100% satisfied with the performance! I been playing guitar for over half my life and until now I think I found the perfect guitar at a perfect price! I play blues, rock, gospel, jazz and funk and this guitar gives me what I need for each genre I play! I'm happy...She's a keeper! Looking forward to many years with this one!
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
The Guitar looks feels and sounds like a much more expensive guitar with a case. no wonder I can't find one on the shelf at GC they want to sell the more expensive ones. Guitar is a keeper so far stays in tune pickups seem adequate MIM whatever I have had great luck with all Fenders reguardless of where made sure I would enjoy a more expensive one but I can feel the tone soaring from the Ash and a sweet vintage look.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
I bought this babe like 2 months ago and my wife begs me to put it down. I told her a I still love her, but not like I love this guitar. Hahahaha!!! She is jealous! It looks as good as the tone sounds. I was hoping to change the pickups, but the factory ones sound great. It is an addictive guitar and I treat it with respect. If you don't have one you better get one. You can play all styles of music on it. The neck is very nice and the colors are well put together.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
As others have mentioned, they can be a little heavy - mine is 8.4 pounds. That's the only downside. The guitar only needed the smallest of setups for intonation and a bit of nut filing to accommodate the 10-42's I prefer. Frets were close enough to perfect that I decided to leave 'em alone. Pickups are perfectly fine as is - you'll get plenty of classic Tele twang and spank. I've already added a Duncan SH-1 in the neck position for a bit of the Keef vibe. To my surprise, the stock bridge pickup holds it's own pretty well against the SH-1. In any case, at this price almost anyone can afford to mod it to their tastes without fear of dumping a ton of cash into it. This is a good value Tele for just about anyone though you'll have to buy a case or gig-bag separately.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
This week, i went to Guitar Center just to look around, see what i would like to purchase for maybe the future. I have been playing for about 4 years. This guitar caught my eye as soon as i walked through the door. It has an amazing finish. I tried it out and it sounded perfect to me. I bought it as it has an amazing price. This guitar is great for any type of music. Classical, rock, metal, jazz, etc. Also, this guitar stays in tune perfectly. My fingers feel like they can move perfectly down the neck, and it feels like it is very well built. This is an amazing guitar for the price. I have 3 other electric guitars and this is by far my favorite. You will not be disappointed with this guitar!
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
Although tempted, I did not buy the natural ash version of this guitar. I bought the FSR version of this guitar in butterscotch blonde ash. The one thing I liked about this version was the faster satin neck versus the gloss neck on the FSR. Ash although heavier than alder is an excellent tone wood and is the original wood used in making telecasters. This guitar just sings. I noticed it first when playing it unplugged. Way to go Fender in making a really nice guitar at an affordable price. As far as quality control goes, I believe buying a guitar is best done in person. I compared the one I bought to an American version in alder, the fit looked the same, I liked the sound of the MIM model in ash better.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
I have many guitars including a Blackout Telecaster which I love. While I was in the store, I bought this on a whim, brought it home and compared it to my other guitars. I was pleasantly surprised. This guitar has a lot of range. It is warm and rich. It is also bright and twangy on the bridge pickup. This guitar has more range personality than the more expensive "noiseless" version. It is a keeper.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
I just purchased this guitar and must say i am astonished at how good it is, I was looking to get a Strat but after trying numerous guitars several times, through different amps, this Tele went home with me. Many mention the weight of the guitar, but I normally play a Les Paul, so the weight is no issue here, it is still notably lighter in weight than my Les Paul. the only issue I have is where the pickup selector switch and volume knob are located on Tele's I tend to hit them with my pick hand. Playability is great, tone is great, this is likely to be my main guitar from now on...or until I find something I like better.
Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash:
I was looking for a vintage butterscotch blond tele, but "settled" for this. Glad I did. Saved a bundle and got a great sounding, easy playing nice looking slab o' wood. You definitely want to play first though. The Gtr. Center I went to had two; first one was a little off. Probably the biggest knock on the MIM Fenders is quality control, so just like buying lumber at Home Depot, dig through the pile until you find one that looks good and plays straight. As others mention, the ash body makes this thing HEAVY. I haven't weighed it, but it feels like a P bass. I don't mind, but keep it in mind if you're sensitive to weight. Nutshell: classic tele design/tone/feel with great looks at an amazing price point.

"I would do stop-and-frisk. I think you have to," Trump said, according to excerpts of a Fox News "town hall" in Cleveland, after a listener asked what he would do to reduce crime in predominantly black communities across the nation. "I see what's going on here, I see what's going on in Chicago, I think stop-and-frisk. In New York City it was so incredible, the way it worked," he added.
Over the last decade, collecting DNA from people who are not charged with — or even suspected of — any particular crime has become an increasingly routine practice for police in smaller cities not only in Florida, but in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and North Carolina as well.
Slow down, buckle up and take special care around fighting family members. Sounds like wisdom a parent might bestow. But, in layman's terms, those are the recommendations of a new study of law enforcement deaths while on duty. In short, police will be more likely to return home safely after their shifts if more of them wear seat belts, take more care when racing to high-priority calls, wear their issued body armor and remember that calls involving domestic disturbances are often the most dangerous.
Political leaders responded to last night's shootings on TV and social media with an outpouring of compassion and support.
It was another traffic stop. Philando Castile was driving with his girlfriend, Lavish Reynolds, when they were pulled over at a traffic stop for a broken taillight, according to a video Reynolds posted on Facebook just after he was shot.
Paul Figueroa had briefly replaced Ben Fairow, whose tenure as Oakland's top cop lasted just six days. Fairow had been appointed to replace Chief Sean Whent, who resigned in the wake of a widening sexual misconduct scandal.
In a surprise announcement Thursday afternoon, Mayor Ed Lee said that after the latest fatal shooting, of an unarmed woman in a suspected stolen car in the city's Bayview neighborhood, he had lost faith that Suhr could mend the department's relationship with the community.
Ted Cruz got flustered today when CBS' This Morning's anchors pointed out the logical fallacies in his argument that the U.S. needs to spy on Muslim communities to weed out radical jihadists.
Unless you live in Georgia or North Florida, you probably don't know her story. And you should.
In their training, Chicago police officers are presented with scenarios in which they're confronted by dangerous individuals while other people are nearby. The goal is to eliminate the threat while keeping bystanders safe. Yet over the years, innocent victims have been shot by police.
Chief ousted after mass protests over a white officer's shooting of a black teenager 16 times, department's refusal to release video for more than a year.
The police union president said union members were helping Van Dyke's family raise the amount needed for Van Dyke to get out of jail.
"Knowing what happens on video after it happens is totally different than knowing what the cop was thinking and what he will say he was thinking," says one criminal justice expert.
For the veteran activists — many of whom grew up in the era when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached nonviolence — the actions of some of the protesters distract from their message.
Many rank-and-file officers and their superiors have assumed the mantle of victims, complaining that the Black Lives Matter movement disrespects, and even endangers, police. It keeps them from doing their jobs, they say.
Another disturbing incident of abuse of power.
There is a virtually foolproof strategy for police to avoid Internet mortification. Three syllables: Do your job. Then there'll be no YouTube videos to worry about.
Even with the best training, studies show that police have a very hard time hitting their intended targets. New York City's Police Department has some of the best-trained officers in the country. But when 12 Brooklyn cops opened fire on a fleeing gunman last month, only one of 84 shots fired hit the suspect.
Poor mental health cannot be an excuse for misconduct, and especially with increased scrutiny on police officers' actions, some departments are looking into ways to treat their own.
How much can we trust either a police force or the institution of policing itself when they operate under such a blatantly different set of rules?
Mayor Tom Barrett: "I want our police officers to be in a position to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that they are acting professionally."
Ferguson saw a fresh wave of demonstrations beginning last weekend, marking the one-year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown.
It's another story of police vs. activists again in Ferguson, Mo.
The depths of Ferguson's policing problems were laid bare in a scathing Justice Department report that accused the Ferguson police of illegal and discriminatory enforcement actions.

Submarine Car Used In James Bond Film Sells For 550,000 Pounds At Auction
The Lotus Esprit submarine car from the 1977 James Bond classic film, The Spy Who Loved Me sold at auction in London. The iconic car was sold for a whopping 550,000 pounds- but the car only functions underwater as a fully working submarine. Car Specialist Don Rose commented on the significance of the car, and the opportunity of owning a piece of film history.
"What you have to understand is it's not a car at all, but it's a fully functional submarine, and it functioned as such in a film. Twelve days of shooting in the Bahamas, including a famous battle scene underwater that's unforgettable, and out of all the Bond cars and all the gadgets ever done in a Bond movie, I don't think there was anything as outrageous as a car that transformed itself into a submarine, and here you have the final, functional working object, one and only, and, as you said, iconic. So is it worth the price tag? What's Marilyn Monroe's dress worth? I think this is something that's a unique example of popular culture, it cannot be duplicated, it's the one and only, and it's never before been offered to the public."
But despite the significance of the car it sold under its estimated price of 650,000-950,000 pounds.

Wizards trade Antonio Daniels to Hornets in 3-team trade. Mike James, JavarisC to Wiz
Washington is going to be gunning all the way into the lottery.
Re: NO-Was-Mem dealing (Daniels, James, Javaris)
Good trade for Hornets - Backup PG is a large source of weakness for them.
Re: NO-Was-Mem dealing (Daniels, James, Javaris)
Wow. Thats great for the Hornets. Were still weak after West and Chandler on the bench. But James was awful this season. We got tricked into taking him in the Bonzi trade and have been paying for it ever since.
Re: NO-Was-Mem dealing (Daniels, James, Javaris)
I have always been a fan of Antonio Daniels
Looks good for the Hornets as they can get stability at point guard.
Re: NO-Was-Mem dealing (Daniels, James, Javaris)
Trade is official.
Good trade for all three teams.
Memphis gets back their pick they traded back in 07 for Juan Carlos Navarro, and clears it's PG situation.
New Orleans gets back a good back-up guard since Pargo.
Washington gets 2 PGs they can use while Arenas sits out.
3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
UPDATE: Trade is now official: http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=2637
EARLIER: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3759656
The Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Hornets have agreed to a three-team trade that will bring two new guards to the Gilbert Arenas-less Wizards, according to NBA front-office sources.
The Wizards will receive New Orleans' Mike James and Memphis' Javaris Crittenton in the exchange, with the Hornets acquiring Washington's Antonio Daniels and the Grizzlies coming away with a future first-round pick.
Arenas has yet to play for the Wizards since signing a new $111 million contract in the offseason after undergoing surgery on his left knee. A firm timetable for Arenas' comeback has not been established, but he has yet to be cleared to participate in contact drills, making a return by Jan. 1 -- as Arenas initially hoped -- seem unlikely.
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
Daniels is a big upgrade over Mike James. Hornets have a solid backup PG now.
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
This is an excellent deal for the Hornets. Daniels is a proven player, who has proven he can play well as a back up. He will provide more stability than Mike James could ever could as a backup to Paul. He plays smart, is steady, and doesnt make many mistakes. Very nice pick up
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
great deal for the hornets, daniels is the best player of that bunch. washington gets 2 scrubs... well atleast one is a young scrub.
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
What a freebie
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
i like the trade all the way around
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
Good pick up for the bees Daniels is a great player to have and the Hornets now have great depth at the point. :applause:
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
The Hornets get an actual steady backup point guard (when healthy), and the Wizards are a ****ty enough team for the Mike James of Toronto to try and make a return. He could conceivably be a relatively consistent 3rd scoring option in Washington if given the greenlight and help them maintain till Arenas returns. Or he could prove that his 20 ppg season was nothing more than a fluke on a ****ty team in a contract year.
I like the trade for the Hornets, and the Wizards have nothing to lose by trying the gamble. I won't even speak on the Grizzlies.
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
Good deal for the Hornets getting a backup PG as long as he's consistent. Washington get's two guards one's a scorer and one can be groomed for the future. Memphis gets a pick...i guess to help in the future. Doesn't do anything for them now.
Re: 3 Team Trade - Antonio Daniels to Hornets
daniels and james are both 33 year old point guards who aren't good anymore. (i watch the wizards a lot- daniels isn't good at all anymore). i actually like the move for the wizards cause jarvis has some potential and the wiz blow anyway. he can be a good combo guard in the future. otherwise this trade is kinda blah.

Death Metal
Death metal, dancing and a meter of beer
By Monica Eng, Tribune staff reporter
May 17, 2007
For Filip Lewandowski, 25, and his pals, the night starts out with a rumble and a growl. "Sorry," he yells over the music that's shaking the room at Totu Cafe in River Grove. "I hadn't realized it would be death metal night." Soon the club's owner, Hanna Hendrych, arrives at our table with a smile. "Tonight, I booked three Polish death metal bands and one Czech." But do they sing in Polish, Czech or English? "I can't really tell," she says of grumbly lyrics. "But I think...

Point Of Departure
By Brenda You, Tribune Staff Writer
March 21, 1994
Anyone taking a bet on Sepultura back in the late '80s wouldn't have given the band very good odds for success. For starters, they were classified as death metal, a type of thrash music that is hard, heavy and riddled with gore, and not wildly popular outside its core group of 14-year-old boys. They also were from Brazil, a country hardly famous for its rock exports-possibly because it's almost impossible to get a record contract or even a gig there. Add the fact that almost all of their songs are...
Amon Amarth is rather normal ... for a death metal band
By Allison Stewart, Special to the Tribune
February 6, 2014
Swedish death metal bands are almost all alike, at least in interviews: They're disappointingly polite, fluent in English, soft-spoken and cheerful. Veteran five-piece Amon Amarth, now on its ninth album of grisly, Viking-centric metal, is no different. The band will thoughtfully discuss various mythological torture methods, or the probably-not-authentic samples of human dismemberment that decorate its new disc, "Deceiver of the Gods," until the interview time is up. To...
Music To Die For
By Brenda Herrmann
October 27, 1991
Death, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Sepultura, Obituary, Entombed, Napalm Death. These aren`t the titles of B-grade horror films. The names belong to the bands that reign in one of the fastest-growing music genres, death metal. The music is every bit as ominous as the band names-all guitars, bass and drums, churned out so fast that sound waves can barely keep up. The vocals are straight out of "The Exorcist," low, growling voices that make the throat sore just listening. And the lyrics are written to...
What Opeth would like you to know
By Allison Stewart, Special to the Tribune
April 12, 2012
Just because proggy Swedish hard rock band Opeth has stopped screaming the vocals and started singing them doesn't mean the band has turned its back on heavy metal, so please stop saying that. According to lead singer Mikael Akerfeldt, the band's latest album, last fall's mellow-by-comparison-but-still-pretty-heavy "Heritage," has had a polarizing effect, turning nonbelievers into fans, and vice versa. Still, "Heritage" has charted higher than any album the band has done in its 22 years on...

January 8, 2010
'Until the Light Takes Us' . 1/2 There's a richer film to be wrested from the self-consciously arty and cautious "Until the Light Takes Us," a documentary by Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell about the music and culture of Norwegian black metal. But that's not to say the movie isn't occasionally a fascinating portrait of dark-souled outsiders, often with criminal tendencies. The movement has spawned members and adherents who have murdered, committed suicide and/or burned churches.

June 13, 1997
Obituary Back From the Dead (Roadrunner) (star) (star) To persevere through the guttural wailings of singer John Tardy and the barrage of grinding rhythms and neck-slashing guitar solos of his Obituary sidekicks is to live the ultimate death-metal experience. In the Florida quintet's fifth LP, that experience hasn't changed much since their gruesome 1989 debut, "Slowly We Rot," which helped spawn the death metal genre. Except for the rap-thrasher "Bullituary,"...
Brutal rockers
By Los Angeles Times
October 14, 2009
When he was growing up in L.A., Jack Black had two passions: rock music and video games. As an adult, he played out the rock-star fantasy with his band, Tenacious D, and a 2003 movie, "The School of Rock." Now Black is taking on video games with the release of "Brutal Legend," in which players can slay enemies by cranking out heavy metal music. Black and game developer Tim Schafer worked on it for three years. "Tim is the moist and delicious chocolate pudding cake," Black said as he and Schafer sat for this...

Torche's heavy rock flame burns bright
By Bob Gendron, Special to the Tribune
April 10, 2009
Leave it to a couple of goofy-looking dudes from Florida to form a band that any self-respecting hipster, mullet-coiffed '70s rock fan or zany headbanger would be proud to join. Bridging heavy dynamics with a party attitude, Torche is making quick work of musical borders and industry rules. Its cutting-edge efforts aren't going unnoticed. Last year, the trio's sophomore album -- "Meanderthal" (Hydra Head) -- wooed both underground and mainstream press outlets, which cited it as one of...

March 20, 1998
Morbid Angel Formulas Fatal to the Flesh (Earache) (star) (star) (star) Returning three years after the insipid "Domination" disk, death metal titan Morbid Angel rebounds with an album that draws from the rawness of "Altars of Madness" (1989), the concept structure of "Blessed are the Sick" (1991), and the strong songwriting of "Covenant" (1993). Missing from the mix is the multi-textured delivery of veteran singer-bassist David Vincent, replaced by Steve Tucker's...

Connick Jr. is comin' to town
By Kevin Williams, Tribune reporter
December 5, 2008
It was 1988, and this dude did this album called "20." On it was a cover of the "brain" song from "Wizard of Oz." But rather than the jaunty, happy ditty belted out by the scarecrow, this young'un, Harry Connick Jr., did a mournful version. The scarecrow, rather than looking forward to having a brain, was all bummed out and thinking of all the things he'd missed out on because of his brainlessness. It was stunning, and so promising. And we don't want to say 'what happened?

August 26, 2005
Tommy Lee "Tommyland: The Ride" Forget all that dated industrial rubbish. That's exactly what Tommy Lee did on his third solo album, which is proof that collaborating with the likes of the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger has repercussions. Suddenly, the bad-ass Crue drummer is a giant pansy, full of bantamweight power-pop melodies so insipid they make "If I Die Tomorrow" seem like death metal. Lee is clearly doing what he couldn't on...

KUMAS CORNER, 3 forks "Could use a little more bourbon in the pears," my 81-year-old father-in-law remarked one recent Saturday morning at Kuma's Corner, a death metal tattoo burger bar in the Avondale neighborhood on the North Side. "Huh?" my husband said, thrashing music overhead. "Bourbon! In my pears!" my father-in-law said, hoisting his dripping Lair of the Minotaur burger (10-ounce burger, brie, pancetta, caramelized onions and bourbon-soaked pear on a pretzel bun, $12).

By Brenda Herrmann
January 2, 1992
Death Human (Relativity) (STAR)(STAR)(STAR) Death's fourth album shows a lot of musical growth (or should we say decay, since it's death metal?). Unlike previous Death releases with their emphasis on blood and guts, "Human" is a concept album about human emotions, frustrations, etc. "Suicide Machine" is a timely and thought-provoking song: "A request to die with dignity, is that to much to ask?" The other seven works are equally compelling and set to hard-driving, but...
Dethklok lives

Brendan Small doesn't have any problem being upstaged by cartoons. His creation, the 2-D death-metal outfit Dethklok -- stars of the Adult Swim cult-favorite "Metalocalypse" -- is the true attraction of The Deth Tour, which hits Chicago on Monday. Images of the cartoon band -- think Gorillaz, but way more metal -- are projected on the large screen above Small, who plays lead guitar and provides the voice that's credited to Dethklok lead singer Nathan Explosion. But he's not looking for any credit.

Company DetailsUpdate
Mobile Recruiting is a new technology startup company that reduces costa of hiring employees by companies, incorporating video and mobility solutions.
Today, companies need to recruit a considerable number of employees (Consumer Good Companies, Call Center, Catering, Franchising, Task Force, Cleaning, Security, Retail, Logistics, Outsourcing HR,…), they lose a not of time and money calling candidates to make their first job interview, when only 10% of candidates pass to a second interview.
Moreover, candidates often don't go or don't appear in convocations where there are many candidates because they think that is very difficult to be selected.
Mobile Recruiting allows that companies put their job offers on our mobile app and candidates can subscribe recording a little video on our mobile app:
Companies: they can increase the number of candidates who sign up for their offers through the mobile app and filter the best candidates for each job after watching the videos of the candidates (from our web).
Candidates: they can access all the jobs in your city from mobile phone, sign up in each job and recorded a video with the phone (15 seconds) to submit for each offer.
Recruiting Companies: Manpower, Adecco, Randstad: they are very traditional in recruiting processes, using commercial offices located throughout the world to hire people, some of them are using Internet, some use social networnot but no-one has any mobile development. Strengths: great financial capacity to undertake new technological developments such as ours. Weaknesses: Lack of knowledge of mobility, video and cloud services.

The President stated that the challenges America faces are unprecedented, and that we need to build a new foundation for economic growth in America. "The Administration has begun this work with dramatic new investments in education, health care and clean energy. However, economic recovery is as much about what we are doing in our communities as what is being done in Washington – and it's going to take all of us, working together," said the President.
"United We Serve" is a nationwide service initiative that will help meet growing social needs resulting from the economic downturn. With the knowledge that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools, President Obama has been asking everyone to come together to help lay a new foundation for growth. This initiative aims to both expand the impact of existing organizations by engaging new volunteers in their work and encourage volunteers to develop their own "do-it-yourself" projects.

Triple Double, Mario?
Junior guard Mario Chalmers has a chance of becoming the first KU player in school history to officially record a triple-double. (Wilt Chamberlain posted two unofficial triple-doubles in his day before blocked shots were counted in the 1970s.) Chalmers actually flirted with a quadruple-double versus DePaul. He had 12 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and seven steals in 32 minutes.
"He impacted the game today by doing a little bit of everything," Self said. "He is the best anticipator I've ever coached defensively. Russell (Robinson) is better on the ball, but Mario is the best I've ever had off the ball. (Chalmers and Robinson, who had seven points, nine assists, and two steals) played to their strengths and got everybody else involved and the game just became easier for everyone else."
Chalmers' seven steals were a career high. Only nine other players in KU history have recorded seven steals or more. Aaron Miles holds the school record with nine steals versus Iowa State on Feb. 16, 2003.
Has Robinson played with any guys with quicker hands than Super Mario?
"Not that I can say," Robinson replied. "Maybe Sebastian Telfair (New York native like Robinson who now plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves) probably has quicker hands, but Mario is definitely up there with one of the best backcourt guys I've ever played with."
Chalmers, normally very laid back off the court, shows a great deal of emotion at times during games.
"He gets that pumping his arms and jumping around," Robinson said. "He gets the crowd into it, and we need that."
Whether he's hot or cold with his shooting, Chalmers' game never changes.
"It's nice to be like Mario," said Self, "where no matter what happens, he's full of confidence. Some guys aren't like that."
King Kaun
Senior center Sasha Kaun is definitely a guy who needs confidence to play well. After struggling this early season, he was energized versus DePaul with 15 points (six-of-seven from the field), five rebounds, and two blocks in just 15 minutes.
"I hope he didn't tease us, because he can play like that every day," Robinson said. "We got to get him going and get him in that mindset. We just got to continue to get him to play that way and we'll be a great team. He's a big body, he takes up a lot of room. That makes it a lot easier for guys to penetrate the lane, it makes it tougher for guys to make moves on the other end. If we get him playing like that, our team just goes upward."
Kaun said he's not thinking about the NBA.
"I just want to play every game and have a great season" he said. "I haven't really been thinking about what I'm going to do in the future, because I think it brings more distractions. I just want to go out there and have a great season and (then) see what my options are."
Sherron Comes Back
Sophomore guard Sherron Collins returned to the lineup against DePaul after foot surgery in mid-November. He scored six points and went two-of-three from three-point range in 13 minutes.
"I thought it was going to be a six-week process," said Collins, who commented he's about 85 percent. "I feel pretty good, but I know I got a lot more work to do. I got to rehab and get back stronger how I was. It was good to get in there and knock down a couple of shots."
A Chicago native, Collins dearly wanted to play against DePaul.
"I guess every game I really want to play in," Collins said. "This game is maybe better for the win because they beat us last year. It is kind of bragging rights when I go back home."
Robinson was thrilled to have Collins back in action. Freshman guard Tyrel Reed was the only player who didn't see time against DePaul due to a sprained ankle.
"It feels great to see everybody out there and contributing and seeing Sherron hit a couple of shots," Robinson said. "He's not at full speed yet, but his presence his well felt out there on the court. We got to get everybody going and we'll continue to get better."
No Rush To Worry
Junior guard Brandon Rush is also working himself back into the lineup after off-season knee surgery kept him out of action until mid-November. After scoring 17 points each against Arizona and Florida Atlantic, Rush has shot just 11-of-36 from the field during his last three games. Rush's roommate and senior forward Darnell Jackson knows his buddy's shot will come back.
"I just think he's so anxious to get back and play and make the big plays like he usually does," Jackson said after the Eastern Washington game on Dec. 5. "He just has to calm down and and go out there and play. It will come to him, he's not worried about it. He knows he's missing shots. We're just encouraging him to keep shooting, because that's what he does. He's a great shooter. It gives us a boost when he comes off (the bench as sixth man) and we throw him the ball and he shoots a three, the crowd goes crazy. That gives Brandon a lot of energy when he's making shots. He feels good about himself. So we just have to keep (telling) him about shooting the ball."
Self on Arthur
Sophomore forward sensation Darrell Arthur scored 13 points and blocked two shots, but did not get a rebound in 22 minutes versus DePaul. This was the first game at Kansas where he was blanked on the boards. (Arthur had three games last season where he had one rebound).
"I thought Darrell played pretty good, to be honest," Self said after the DePaul game. The KU coach then added: "I think he's our second leading rebounder right now (Arthur averages 5.4 rebounds per game behind team leader Jackson at 6.9 boards), but he doesn't get any. That's unheard of in 22 minutes, how you can go 22 minutes and not get any rebounds. I'll watch the tape to see if he just didn't go after the ball or maybe if it was just one of those days where he just didn't put himself in position because the ball bounced the other way. But we'll do everything we can to correct that."

Charles Montgomery
Urban Experimentalist, Award-Winning Journalist, & Author of Happy City
Charles Montgomery? Email us Give Us a Call
Charles Montgomery is an award-winning author, urbanist, and leader of a consultancy building more happiness into cities. He is the author of the book Happy City, about which the New York Times wrote: "Happy City is not only readable but stimulating. It raises issues most of us have avoided for too long. Do we live in neighborhoods that make us happy? That is not a silly question. Montgomery encourages us to ask it without embarrassment, and to think intelligently about the answer."
He has advised and lectured planners, students, and decision-makers across the USA, Canada, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. He also creates experiments that challenge us to see our cities—and ourselves—in entirely new ways. Montgomery's Home for the Games initiative led hundreds of people to follow his example and open their homes to strangers during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Working with the BMW Guggenheim Lab and the citizens of New York City, he transformed an empty lot into a machine to maximize feelings of altruism. Whether it is empowering people to re-imagine a city street using hundreds of giant building blocks, or challenging them to hug complete strangers, each experiment is driven by insights in the science of human wellbeing. Montgomery's work ultimately nudges us out of our comfort zone to find a hopeful new vision for cities of joy.
Montgomery and his team have turned the lessons from Happy City into a tool for helping people bring more happiness into their cities. They are using it to transform places and people's lives in Mexico City, Auckland, London, and elsewhere. Montgomery launched the world's first Happy Neighbourhood Audit in Mexico City, and his team also began work with the World Health Organization's Europe Healthy Cities Unit. Montgomery has also been working with TIME Magazine on an interactive survey exploring happiness in American cities. Beta version here, with interactive version in development.
Montgomery's writings on urban planning, psychology, culture, and history have appeared in magazines and journals on three continents. Among his awards is a Citation of Merit from the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society for outstanding contribution towards public understanding of climate change science. His first book, The Last Heathen, won the 2005 Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-fiction and vigorous praise from reviewers in The New York Times, The Guardian, and elsewhere.
Happy City: Your City, Your Life
For years, self-help experts have told us that we need to do inner work in order to improve our lives. But what if our cities themselves had the power to make or break our happiness? Drawing on brain science, psychology, and rich personal stories, Charles Montgomery explains how cities influence how we feel, behave, and treat other people in ways most of us never realize. Everything from the length of your commute to the depth of your front yard can have an unseen effect on your mind, emotions, and social life. But Montgomery uses fascinating and often funny social experiments to demonstrate that we are not helpless. We can change our lives by changing our relationship with our cities—and each other. By understanding the effect that design has on our emotions and decisions, we can all share this empowering new vision of city life.
Building the Happy City
What is the future of your city—of all cities around the world? How can the design and planning of a city affect how happy its inhabitants are? Urban experimentalist Charles Montgomery presents a message that is as surprising as it is hopeful. Doomsayers have warned that action to tackle the urgent challenges of climate change and energy scarcity will lead us into decades of hardship. But, in this talk, he looks to cities around the world that are doing it right, and he points to powerful evidence that suggests the opposite: that the green city, the low-carbon city, and the happy city are the same place. Drawing on his own experiments within cities, and using his deep understanding of history, neuroscience, psychology, and cultural studies, Montgomery presents a picture of flourishing cities, and of everyone—from governments to corporations to citizens—working together to make it happen.
The Happy City Workshop
Policymakers around the world are embracing human wellbeing as a legitimate and necessary goal. Jurisdictions from Bhutan to France to the United Nations have adopted happiness indices to help guide development and economic policy. Cities need to catch up.
As Charles Montgomery demonstrates in Happy City, urban systems influence the way we feel, behave, and interact with each other in ways that politicians, planners, and city builders often fail to realize. In a world of conflicting goals and complex systems, it can be easy to overlook the urban design/wellbeing connection. The good news is that happy city principles can help cities meet public health objectives as well as economic and sustainability goals at the same time.
How can you bring happiness into your own urban work? In this 90-minute workshop, participants will be introduced to a new framework for incorporating wellbeing principles into urban design and systems planning. Together we will adapt this tool to local or contextual conditions and aspirations. Using the happiness lens, participants will work in groups to examine one or more policy issues facing their community, and identify opportunities for action. Along the way, we'll identify the cognitive errors that block good decisions on risk and reward.
Anthem Properties
Charles was great. The entire team thought his presentation was well done. There was a great atmosphere that day; he was insightful, and his perspective was well received. He was informative, fun, personable, energetic and very approachable ... I would recommend him to others.
United Way
Head, heart, and hands: Charles Montgomery covered it all! His energetic, humorous and thought-provoking presentation on people transforming their communities really inspired our United Way campaign volunteers. His heartfelt enthusiasm for people giving of their time to build strong social connections really struck a chord with these everyday heroes galvanizing them to go out and help build a better community for everyone. Thank you, Charles.
Palm Springs Art Museum
The response to the symposium has been fantastic! The audience was truly inspired by your presentation and you provided a real call to action for the local community. Thank you so much for a wonderful lecture. Since Saturday there have been many emails flying about, resulting from the stimulating ideas you proposed.
International Making Cities Livable Conferences
Charles Montgomery gave a terrific talk, getting back to the absolute fundamentals of true urbanism—people! Through a heady mix of anecdote, data, and humor, he brought to life our essential task in making cities healthy and livable—enhancing social life, and thus making people happy. Charles was a refreshing voice for architects, planners, and city officials.
Quinn & Partners Inc.
The conference in Vancouver was great and Charles's keynote was fantastic as well. The audience, who was corporate real estate executives, seemed to really enjoy the subject, which is something they are starting to consider more in their work.
Urban Land Institute
Hi, Charles- Thank YOU! We so appreciate your participation last week and we continue to hear raves about your presentation and interactions with attendees. I am really thrilled that you were able to join us for so much of the program. We were just talking this morning about what a cool guy you are. You were great in terms of substance, message and style. Your presentation was exactly what I was looking for and the proof is in the pudding. You presentation was referenced in some way during all of the sessions on Friday including the closing general session.
The Well/ Queen Anne Church
You are challenging us to think more intentionally about how space promotes or inhibits community and well-being…As a pastor in a community deeply involved in creating generous community and fostering neighborly dialogue, I found your presentation exactly what we needed to hear and what we need to engage. Thanks so much....Information is one thing; an engaging presenter is something else altogether. You combine both—spot on information with an engaging and engaged presentation. We appreciate not only what you are doing, but who you are.
City of Edmonton
We have received such wonderful feedback from guests at our event last week. Charles did an excellent job, and there was lots of engagement from the audience as demonstrated by the questions and answer period (lots of questions!). One of our goals of the event was to attract new participants—people who hadn't been to a NextGen event before—and we certainly accomplished that.
Global Civic Policy Society
Dear Charles Thanks for your wonderful presentation at the Public Salon last night! We received so many positive comments. It was quite impressive to see how many people left the theater with your book under their arms. Lynn certainly make the right decision to have you as the final speaker. It was a really strong finish. We really appreciate what you did to make the Public Salon such a great evening.
Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design
More of us than ever are moving to inner cities, mixed-use suburbs, and densely constructed towns. Our surroundings have certainly changed--but is city living cheering us up, or are we as gloomy on our walks to the subway as we were on our long predawn commutes? And if that's the case, how can we turn things around? In breezy, vivid prose, Montgomery reports from such exciting and dysfunctional places as Bogotá, once a dangerous, car-obsessed city, now a bike-loving model of civic excellence; California's San Joaquin Valley in the apocalyptic aftermath of the housing crisis; and a suburb of Vancouver, where a power company gathers energy from sewage to provide its citizens with heat and hot water. Full of cutting-edge insights from behavioral economists and leading urban thinkers, Happy City offers a completely new way to examine city life, showing us how small innovations can radically improve our experiences. Practical, genial, and fiercely open-minded, Montgomery has written a brilliant book about what today's cities are getting right--and how tomorrow's cities can do even better.
