RWJF Scholars in the News: Menopause and heart disease, nurses and health care finance, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast, and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni, and grantees. Some recent examples:
Changes in hormone levels during early menopause could be linked to an increased risk of heart disease, finds a new study co-authored by RWJF Health & Society Scholars program alumna Rebecca Thurston, PhD. Health Canal covers the study, describing it as a first-of-its-kind evaluation because it used nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to assess the lipoproteins that carry cholesterol through the blood, rather than relying on conventional blood tests. Thurston's study was published in the Journal of Lipid Research.
For Alice Goffman, PhD, an RWJF Scholars in Health Policy Research alumna, an undergraduate assignment turned into a six-year study of a low-income Philadelphia neighborhood in which, she concluded, "the young men in this community feel hunted." In the resulting book, On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City, Goffman says that a "climate of fear and suspicion pervades everyday life" in the community. The New York Times Sunday Book Review calls Goffman's work "riveting" and her ability to understand her subjects "astonishing."
The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has received a $13.6 million grant from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to integrate and coordinate physical, behavioral, and social-health needs for people enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid, reports the Northern Colorado Business Report. The story quotes Susan Birch, MBS, BSN, RN, executive director of the department: "This grant allows Colorado to coordinate our members' care, while achieving greater value and health outcomes for our citizens who are on both Medicare and Medicaid." Birch is an RWJF Executive Nurse Fellows alumna.
RWJF Clinical Scholars Video Podcast: Group Health CEO Scott Armstrong on Hospital Closures
In 1986, Scott Armstrong, MBA, joined Group Health Cooperative to manage the Washington- and Idaho-based health care organization's hospitals. But as he explains in a new Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Clinical Scholar Policy Podcast, in his role as President and CEO of Group Health, he has led the organization in shuttering those same hospitals. He tells RWJF Clinical Scholar Elizabeth Brown, MD, that the move followed a successful push to reduce per member hospital utilization. Group Health now relies heavily on community hospitals, and focuses its providers' attention on caring for patients leading up to hospital admission and after discharge. The move, he says, has lowered Group Health's costs while helping local hospitals put otherwise unused capacity to work. Armstrong believes the Group Health experience foreshadows changes for the health care industry more broadly.
The video podcast is part of a series of RWJF Clinical Scholars Health Policy Podcasts, co-produced with Penn's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics.

Recent Research About Nursing, April 2014
This is part of the April 2014 issue of Sharing Nursing's Knowledge.
ICU Staffing's Impact on Patient Outcomes
A nurse-led study from the United Kingdom has found that higher numbers of doctors and nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) have a positive effect on survival rates for high-risk patients.
A research team led by Elizabeth West, PhD, MSc, RN, Director of Research in the School of Health and Social Care at the University of Greenwich, used data on 38,000 patients in 65 ICUs in the United Kingdom, correlating patient outcomes with staffing levels for doctors, nurses, and support staff. They found that "higher numbers of nurses per bed ... and higher numbers of 'consultants' [senior hospital-based physicians or surgeons] were associated with higher survival rates. Further exploration revealed that the number of nurses had the greatest impact on patients at high risk of death."
"It seems reasonable to argue," the researchers conclude, "that skilled nurses, who have the time to observe patients closely, to intervene or mobilise the team if they begin to deteriorate, would be most important to patients who are at the greatest risk. This study is the first to produce evidence that this is the case." Their findings are published in the May 2014 issue of the International Journal of Nursing Studies.
Recent Research About Nursing, March 2014

Comparing Nurse and Physician Performance on Colonoscopies
A new study finds that colonoscopies performed by nurse and physician endoscopy trainees are comparable in terms of quality and safety.
Researchers in The Netherlands studied 15 endoscopy trainees—seven nurses and eight physicians—at two medical centers over the course of three-and-a-half years. At the beginning of the study, none had experience in endoscopy. All were trained according to the applicable regulations of the Dutch Society of Gastroenterology, performing a minimum of 100 colonoscopies. After completing their training, each performed 135 consecutive colonoscopies under the supervision of a gastroenterologist, with their work evaluated for safety and quality.
The nurse group and the physician group had comparable results on both measures, with the nurse group producing marginally better scores in some areas. Each group detected the same percentage of adenomas (benign polyps), and had the same low rate of complications. The nurses had slightly higher rates of cecal intubation (successfully passing the colonoscope to a key part of the colon), and slightly higher rates of completing the procedure without assistance.

Hush!!! Testing nurse-designed noise-reduction strategies for hospital wards
A common complaint of hospital patients is that just when their bodies need it the most, they can't get a good night's sleep because of noise and interruptions. A new initiative of three nurses at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston takes direct aim at the problem.
In response to patient satisfaction surveys that highlighted the problem of nighttime noise, Gina Murphy, BSN, RN, Anissa Bernardo, LCSW, and Joanne Dalton, PhD, RN, studied existing literature on the topic, developed a program they call Quiet at Night, and tested it on a 44-bed medical-surgical unit. The program includes a number of strategies for reducing noise, including closing doors at night when medically appropriate, supplying earplugs to patients, keeping patients by themselves in semi-private rooms when the census permits, using mini-flashlights when performing overnight checks to avoid turning on the lights, performing change-of-shift conversations in the break room rather than in hallways or at the nurses' station, providing headphones to patients who need the television on at night, and using beep-free keypads on doors. In addition, after 9 p.m., they implemented a number of "quiet hours" practices, including dimming lights, turning pagers to vibrate, avoiding overhead pages and hallway conversations, and more.
After implementing the strategies, the trio compared before and after surveys. In the three survey periods before the program, 43 to 47 percent of patients reported that their rooms were "always" quiet at night. After the program was in place, that jumped to 60 percent, which is the goal the nurses had set.
More Physicians, Nurses Leading Hospitals
Doctors, nurses, and other health professionals are increasingly taking on top leadership positions at hospitals, Fierce Healthcare reports, likely because of the changing health care delivery system.
The trend is taking root in several states. In Texas, Baylor All Saints is headed by a former surgeon. The president of Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth is a former intensive care unit nurse, and her immediate superior who oversees operations for 12 regional hospitals is a physician, the Forth-Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Presence Saint Francis Hospital and Presence Saint Joseph Hospital in Illinois announced this month that a physician and board-certified specialist in infectious diseases would take over as president and CEO, according to Fierce Healthcare. Portsmouth Regional Hospital in New Hampshire is run by a registered nurse, Foster's Daily Democrat reports.
Among the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) scholars in top leadership positions at hospitals is RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow Kim Moore, RN, MSN, FACHE, the president of Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
A Chief Nursing Officer Who Does Not Have a BSN-Only Hiring Policy in Place
Three years ago this week, the Institute of Medicine issued a landmark report, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. Its recommendations include increasing the proportion of nurses with baccalaureate degrees to 80 percent by 2020. Jerry A. Mansfield, PhD, RN, is chief nursing officer at University Hospital and the Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital, and a clinical professor at Ohio State University College of Nursing. He is an alumnus of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellows program (2005).
Lifelong learning has always been a value in my personal and professional life. I fully support the national goal of increasing the number of RNs holding a minimum of a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN).
My personal dilemma is that I once could not gain entrance into a 4-year baccalaureate program. I will never forget my meeting with the dean, who shared that I should "pick another major" since my mid-quarter pre-nursing grade point average was not competitive with more talented constituents!
As I withdrew from that university, I was determined to follow my dream and become a registered nurse. I learned of a program (i.e., "Diploma in Nursing") that would allow me to become an RN in the state. I am a proud graduate of St. Vincent Hospital School of Nursing, Toledo, Ohio; a once thriving program that has since closed.
Without any regret, I have continued my formal education in nursing, and recently graduated with a doctorate in public health from Ohio State University. No one knows my obsession with life-long learning better than my family!
A Culture Where Education Is Valued and Celebrated
Three years ago this week, the Institute of Medicine issued a landmark report, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. Its recommendations include increasing the proportion of nurses with baccalaureate degrees to 80 percent by 2020. Charleen Tachibana, MN, RN, FAAN, is senior vice president, hospital administrator, and chief nursing officer at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. Tachibana is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellow (2009 – 2012).
Virginia Mason Medical Center began a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN)-only hiring guideline in the summer of 2012. The change in hiring guidelines for our staff followed a decade of having educational guidelines in place for our nurse leaders. This was a critical step in our success, as our leaders were able to support and understand the need for this change. It's important for leaders to model lifelong learning, including advancement with formal education. So, last August I also began my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program.
The publication of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on the Future of Nursing really provided the momentum to move to another level. The prominence of this report has made this a relatively easy transition and provided the clarity on why this is critical for our patients and for our profession at this point in time.
Although we have focused this requirement on new hires, it's been impressive to see the wave of staff RNs returning to school, many for their master's or doctorate degrees.
More Than Half of Physicians are Self-Employed, Survey Finds
Although more hospitals and health care systems have been hiring physicians in recent years, more than half of the nation's physicians are still self-employed. A survey from the American Medical Association finds that 53.2 percent of physicians were self-employed in 2012 and 60 percent worked in practices that were wholly owned by physicians.
The survey also found that only 5.6 percent of physicians were directly employed by a hospital. Twenty-three percent worked in practices that were at least partially owned by a hospital.
Although the researchers conclude hospital employment is part of a national trend, the data "offers an update on the status of physician practice arrangements, and allows for a nationally representative response to the numerous articles of the past several years that have highlighted a surge in the employment of physicians by hospitals and the 'death' of private practice."
The data comes from the 2012 Physician Practice Benchmark Survey, a nationally representative random sample of post-residency physicians who provide at least 20 hours of patient care per week.
Nurses on Hospital Boards – Why Is It So Important?
The Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, recommended that nurses be empowered and prepared to take leadership roles, becoming full partners in hospitals and other health care settings to redesign health care in the United States.
In this video, produced by the New Jersey Action Coalition, Dave Knowlton, president and CEO of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, and Robert Wise, president and CEO of the Hunterdon Healthcare System, talk about the importance of having nurses in leadership positions on hospital boards.

And finally, here are the level 4 poster maps that I worked on this week. This was a pretty challenging level to map because of many unique features found here, most notably the arena where various factions hold gladiator style games. Joe Bloch really did a great job creating a living, dynamic dungeon level here and I hope I did it justice. Once again, I've included old school blue & white, black & white, and Undermountain style maps. There are two Undermountain style maps this time, one that designates the areas controlled by the different factions by their color, and one in "classic" Undermountain colors only.

Wow it would take a lifetime to play through that level alone!!! Epic work, jaerdaph!
I am impressed Jaerdaph, the WG13 project just keeps getting better and better. I hope you eventually do a sideview map when most of the levels are done. It would be cool to see the interconnections between the levels.
Wow! Very nice jaerdaph. Have some rep.

Rath (Richard Graves) over at Dragonsfoot recently released Level 1 of The Mad Demigod's Castle as a PDF. What's nice about this PDF is that it fills the void for folks who do not own Gary Gygax's Castle Zygag: The Upper Works by Troll Lord Games which is now out of print and going for huge sums of money on eBay. The maps also match up nicely (i.e. stairs etc) with Joe Bloch's Castle of the Mad Archmage which starts at Level 2 where CZ left off. I volunteered to do the maps for Rich which are now included in the PDF. Here are the poster maps in classic blue & white, black & white and Undermountain styles.
Sweet stuff, especially that undermountain one.

-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

Random Photos Part One
Don Cheadle gets the top spot because he is probably my favorite actor right now. I just think he is amazing at whatever kind of role he takes on.
Alison Melnick is quite possibly the scariest woman I have ever seen.
Which is exactly why Joe Francis loves her. Reminds him of the trannys in jail.
Wow, I remember when you could not look at a magazine at the checkout stand without seeing Deidre Hall on the cover.
This is not political. Merely an observation and an inquiry. If it were a photo of John McCain body surfing in Hawaii, I would ask the same question. Didn't someone die from a shark attack in Hawaii earlier this year? Are there Secret Service agents in boats and in the water around Obama looking for sharks? It seems like a stupid question until a great white takes a bite of your leg.
Brian McFadden - Melbourne
Again with the goddaughter. I'm still not quite understanding why her parents let her hang out with Amy Winehouse. What is the child being exposed to when she is alone with Amy?
Donny and Marie - New York
"Welcome To The Jungle"
"Throw your arms in the air like you just don't care."
I have to say Donal Logue is looking pretty damn good.
Gretchen Mol got some work. Another Life On Mars photo.
You know what? Sure its a publicity thing and a setup job, but it still makes me almost want to cry. Even if Elliot Sadler was just doing it for the publicity or for Stanley or whatever, it doesn't make any difference to that 5 year old girl. You know she was just thrilled.
In case you were wondering it sounds kind of like a cackle.
Lindsay Lohan and her Sunday best.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Lukas Haas. That is a lot of testosterone. Minus points of course for the frappuccino Lukas is drinking.
Apparently Kelson Mathias of Future Of The Left is a briefs man.
Gwen Stefani enters her second decade of pregnancy.
You know in the world of Hollywood romances, Nikki Hilton and David Katzenberg have kept this going for awhile so a little golf clap if you please.
Must have been fun times when they actually got someplace private.
Laura Prepon and her Steven Tyler scarf.
Los Lobos - New York
Put these three together and you have about a years worth of tabloid headlines.
From what I understand Sara Paxton is a really great actress. Unfortunately for her, I just know her because she has been in a bunch of SpongeBob episodes.
There is going to be a marriage at some point right?
Just because I don't think I have ever had Oscar Nunez or his family in the photos.
In some interview, Tila Tequila said she and Courtenay are always trading clothes. Uh huh. Kind of like Tom and Katie.
The Donna's. I love them.
Taye Diggs was in town last night and his wife is performing tonight. I'm guessing he might join her on stage.
Speaking of staged. Notice that Katie doesn't try and pull that jeans scam on us when she is walking next to Tom.

Black Rock Solar
We also installed our biggest solar array to date: 201.2 kilowatts powering the Cedar Building at Western Nevada College. And we branched into Southern Nevada for the first time, installing at the College of Southern Nevada and The Shade Tree.
This year saw increased partnerships with Native American tribes, including the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, and the Yerington Paiute Tribe. We built seven arrays for these tribes and added another 130 kW at the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe High School. In all cases Black Rock Solar worked closely with tribal leaders and provided job training for tribe members. Apprentices worked side by side with BRS the crew and learned solar installation skills.
We also ramped up our educational field trips, bringing dozens of students to our partner sites where they got the chance to learn how photovoltaics work, as well as how our partners serve their communities. Our field trip program is geared perfectly to 6th-8th graders, with an informational scavenger hunt, interactive play and a chance to see solar panels up close.
This year, Burning Man again offered ticket buyers the chance to make a donation with their purchase. We received an unprecedented number of donations to Black Rock Solar, which we were able to put to very good use. In April 2012, we followed that up with a formal fundraising campaign in association with Groupon Grassroots. The funds all went to the construction of a new solar carport for The Shade Tree in Las Vegas. The Shade Tree is an incredible organization: a shelter for women, children and their pets escaping situations of domestic violence. Without donations, The Shade Tree could afford only a small solar array. With the construction of a carport structure, we were able to install enough solar panels to save the shelter $5,600 every year.
The face of Black Rock Solar is changing, as we bring in amazing new people and see our established staff and crew find new successes. We expanded our communications department and internship program, hired a new program manager in Southern Nevada, and launched an energy efficiency program that includes working closely with northern Nevada tribes. The BRS Board of Directors welcomed three new members, including Dan Porras of the Christensen Fund who gifted us a fabulous new website.
Two of our founding members achieved new successes this year. Crew Supervisor David Lasky become one of only 22 NABCEP certified solar professionals in Nevada, and Eli Lyon graduated with honors from Truckee Meadows Community College, earning an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Construction Technologies with an emphasis in Renewable Energy. Congratulations to them both!
We also said goodbye to one of Black Rock Solar's founding members – Scott Stephenson – at the start of Burning Man 2012. Happy trails, Spoono, we miss you!
In front of District Everywhere on the Esplanade, a buzzing metal flower beckoned passersby with interactive lights and a theremin-like soundmaker. "Sun Flower Power" was a solar-powered art piece created by Dinaz Kardooni and partly funded by Black Rock Solar.
Meanwhile across town, the Reno Star Cosmic Thistle bloomed at night with solar-powered lights. Black Rock Solar funded and installed a temporary photovoltaic array to provide the power, but when we had technical issues, we called on our friends at Snow Koan Solar. They came through beautifully, and the Thistle provided a bright landmark for many a Burner at night. You can now see the Reno Star at its permanent home at the intersection of S. McCarran and S. Virginia St. across from Meadowood Mall in Reno.
The Huge Freakin' Laser was an exciting, experimental installation that sought to crystallize the connection between mind and matter … in a huge freakin' laser. Black Rock Solar funded the photovoltaic array that powered the laser, though we never heard back on whether anything got blown up.
All in all, a fantastic year. Thanks to all the amazing people who have supported us in this past year, we have more opportunities than ever before to fulfill our mission. Thanks for helping us Free the Sun!

Ugh. I was organizing my albums in Facebook. When I happened to open the LS402 album, I suddenly miss them. They've given me so much happiness ever since I met them. I celebrated my 15th birthday with them and it was the best birthday I've ever had. I miss our adviser, Ms. Imee Africa, who really gives us support when we really need it. She's been there in hard times and good times. Even if sometimes, we got so noisy and we're being irritated with each other, she never leaves us. I miss all of my classmates whom given me so many happy memories that I'm still remembering now and will never be forgotten. EHE! I hope there will be a reunion of our class soon. I really really want to see them again and make some good memories with them once again. No any other class can replace them in my heart.
I love you, LS402.

The Ultimate Brooklyn Karaoke Guide
by Victoria Coker
(Photo: Daniel S. Burnstein)
Have you ever dreamed of singing on stage with a crowd full of your friends screaming your name? Well make your dreams become reality with our Ultimate Brooklyn Karaoke Guide. Brooklyn has some of the best karaoke spots – and something for the novice to the pro. So own the night and the stage at these great karaoke spots!
Did we miss your fave karaoke spot? Which spots do you enjoy the most?
Piano Karaoke
Karaoke – loosely translated – means "empty orchestra," but this is hardly the case at the Manhattan Inn. There is a very unique aspect: a man playing a white piano in the center of the room. This is your accompaniment while you choose from a list of classic pop hits. If you're feeling courageous, bring your own sheet music, and he'll tickle the ivories as you croon the night away.
Manhattan Inn | 632 Manhattan Avenue, b/w Norman/Nassau Ave | (718) 383-0885 | Williamsburg | Tuesday, 10pm
Karaoke on a Budget
Free food! Did someone say free food? Yes, free personal pizza with every drink you buy. Oh, and the drinks are fairly priced so you can have a few shots of liquid courage before you grace the stage. Or while you wait, you can watch the game and play some pool.
Alligator Lounge | 600 Metropolitan Avenue, b/w Lorimer/Leonard St | (718) 599-4440 | Williamsburg | Thursday, 10pm
Soulful Karaoke
If you've got soul, check out Two Steps Down on Fridays when their second floor turns into a karaoke lounge. They have a wide range of karaoke favorites as well as tons of new hits! Don't be shy; if you're not the best singer, the host will assist. In between karaoke selections, he performs a few ballads as well and the whole crowd is encouraged to join.
Two Steps Down Restaurant and Lounge | 240 Dekalb Avenue, b/w Vanderbilt/Clermont Ave | (718) 399-2020 | Fort Greene | Friday, 8p
Karaoke for Beginners
It's 'Mocaoke' Tuesdays at this low key, and cozy bar and lounge is perfect for all the first timers. They have a wide selection of songs, but no pressure because Moe's is also perfect for just sitting back and relaxing in the cut.
Moe's Bar & Lounge | 80 Lafayette Ave at S Portland Ave | (718) 797-9536 | Fort Greene | Tuesday, 8pm
Karaoke for Performers
Mondays at Brooklyn Bowl, the stage is set! So get ready to channel your inner American Idol with 'Karaoke Killed The Cat'. The two MCs, who also serve as DJs, proclaim this event to be "karaoke for those of us who can't sing". They start the party and allow you to finish while performing as your backup singers and dancers. Anything goes. It's your concert; we're just sitting in on it.
Brooklyn Bowl | 61 Wythe Avenue, b/w N 11/N 12 St | (718)963-3369 | Williamsburg | Monday, 8pm
Karaoke for Rising Rap Stars
If you think you are the next Jay-Z or feel you spit rhymes better than 50 Cent, then Hip Hop Karaoke is for you! Hosted at venues throughout NYC, it periodically calls Brooklyn Bowl home.

Doctor Who New Fall Season Series 7 Launch Trailer
Coming this fall to BBC America, BBC One, and SPACE
I'm looking at the DW Season 7 filming photos and I'm experiencing two things:
1) Envy. Karen Gillan is gorgeous and HER HAIR. I would kill for her hair but I know I could never dye mine to look like that. She's so pretty.
2) WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LEAVE MOFFAT??? I'm really attached to them suddenly and I love the trio. I don't I'll get used to the new companion eventually but something about these three. Probably because they seem to have solid friendships outside of the show too.
I'm really looking forward to this season… also Karen's shoes (seen in other shots) are rocking my socks.
These fucking adorable hipsters, heh.
(via fuckyeahkarengillan)
Badass outfit. Must copy *she says through drunken wine ramblings.*
(via fuckyeahkarengillan)
There's a moment with two Amy Ponds in it. If you're a red-blooded male surely that's enough! You've got Amy Pond flirting with herself!
Steven Moffat, talking about the Children in Need mini-episodes.
I fucking despise this man.
(via dead-irish-writers)
(via hmsharmony)
Maybe you should stick to just writing the show and not even talk to the press, Moff. You don't seem to have a very good track record going.
(via bookling)
I really can't stand Steve Moffat, the person. Do I respect his writing and show running abilities? Yes, absolutely. Sherlock and his series of DW are pretty awesome.
He freely admits to casting Karen Gillan because he thinks she's sexy. He thought she was "wee and dumpy" until she showed up all long legs and gorgeousness.
Just please, stick to writing the scripts Steve.
(Source: Doctor Who TV http, via bookling-stormborn)
Why does she have such amazing hair? I'm so jealous.
Ever since my disastrous last hair cut (which was just supposed to be re-shaping of layers but ended up thinning out my hair majorly) I've been coveting people's full locks. My hair is fine and I used to have a lot of it. It's growing but I'm impatient. *sigh*
karen gillan & matt smith
I want to steal her outfit! They are so cute together. Can't wait for the xmas special.
(Source: stopitsgingertime, via whospam)
This is cracking me up. Who knew these two were such dorks? I didn't watch the Confidentials last year and I have a feeling I was missing out.
Matt and Karen. God, it's like David Tennant and Billie Piper adorableness all over again.

Daniel von Bargen -- who played Mr. Kruger in "Seinfeld" -- is clinging to life in an Ohio hospital after shooting himself in the head Monday morning in a failed suicide attempt ... and TMZ has the horrifying 911 tape in which he calls for help.
Daniel tells the 911 operator, "I've shot myself in the head ... and I need help."
The operator asks if it was an accident -- Daniel replies, "I was supposed to go to the hospital and I didn't want to." Daniel says he's diabetic, explaining, "They were supposed to amputate at least a few toes."
The operator asks where the gunshot wound is -- Daniel replies, "I shot in my temple."
Law enforcement officials confirm they were dispatched to von Bargen's Cincinnati apartment complex a short time later -- and when they arrived, you can hear them on the 911 tape ... yelling at Daniel to keep his hands where they could see them.
Von Bargen -- who also played Chief Grady in "Super Troopers" -- was transported to a nearby hospital where he is currently in critical condition.
During the call, Daniel goes into even more graphic detail about his condition. Listen at your own discretion.
"Do you have her phone number at the top of your head?" -- No, the top of my head has been blown off :(
...did the dispatcher really ask, "do you know her number OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD"...come on..really?
Boy, some of you people should just shut your pie holes. If any of you ever gets into the position of being severely chronically ill and have your life fall apart, we'll see how well you dumb asses hold up. To Mr. von Bargen, I sincerely hope you are able to recover, both physically & mentally. My prayers are with you.
God love him
TMZ, Why would you make this public? I am so disgusted with your lack of humanity that I will never watch your show again. It is appalling that you would exploit someone who is obviously is so much pain.
I met Dan many years ago, and even socialized with him a couple of times. He is a great guy, and it breaks my heart. He is a fine actor and my prayers go out to him and his sisters. Hang in there Dan, you can pull through this. xo
this is profoundly sad. I can't imagine wanting to listen to the audio. What provokes you to want to hear a man talk about shooting himself in the head? I seriously don't understand the need for this. it's sick.
I can't believe this. He is such a good actor. Hope he pulls through.
do you know her phone number off the top of your head REALLY? off the top of his head? that's goooood!
Suicide is the most noble way to die. Why go on being a burden to your family, kids, and the public health system? If you are nothing but a rotten sack of pus, do yourself in. But be sure you succeed at it.
Couldn't get his mind around another bullet in the head...(wait for it..)
Maan. This is pretty bizarre. How do you shoot yourself in the temple with a .38 pistol and still survive and talk to the 911 people?
I bet it was a gruesome scene when the cops got there. Hard to believe that this guy used to be on the megahit TV show "Seinfeld".
I guess he figured that shooting himself was the easiest way to deal with his bad diabetes problem.
Gotta admit, if I had to have one of my arms or legs cut off, I might think about doing what he did a few times. Who wants to be so dependent on other people? Let's face it, most people don't particularly like to hang out with people that have terrible diseases or mangled bodies.
I hope Daniel is alright and he recovers. That Congresswoman Gabby Giffords who got shot in the head by that nutcase seems to be okay nowadays. I'm sure Jerry Seinfeld and the rest of the cast might visit him soon if he recovers. They should at least call him or send him something in the mail.
God bless you Mr. von Bargen. I'll be praying for you. I hope you'll be all right, and get the help you need.
Wow. The comments here, and the fact that someone thought it was a good idea to post the 911 tape on a magazine website, are all astounding. Stay classy, Internet.
I hope Mr von Bargen gets the help he needs with recovery from his injury and his suicidal state of mind. Best wishes to him.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen took the podium on national letter of intent day in February his voice battled the mechanical noises from Milan Puskar Center renovations, which provided a proper backdrop for a football roster under construction.
Among the 26 additions that day were nine junior-college transfers, the highest number in a single class in program history. Then, two graduate transfers, quarterback Clint Trickett and running back Charles Sims, joined the class.
Nine of those 11 transfers have started in their first season at West Virginia, the lone exceptions being offensive lineman Stone Underwood, who is redshirting, and defensive end d'Vante Henry, who was dismissed from the team after an arrest in August.
The numbers represent a growing trend in college football, with junior-college transfers being pursued as quick-fix solutions.
Following the blueprint made by Kansas State, which has had nearly 80 junior-college transfers since 2006 and carries 23 on its current roster, the West Virginia coaching staff scoured off-the-radar schools in small towns to fill holes in the roster and get the Mountaineers up to speed in the Big 12.
"Those guys need to come in and play right away, otherwise we wouldn't have gone the junior-college route," Holgorsen said on signing day.
The obvious drawbacks to taking a junior-college player are he'll have fewer years of eligibility and he'll have to quickly learn a new system with the expectation of making an immediate impact.
The benefits are that instead of getting a high school athlete with a flashy highlight tape, coaches get a more matured player — mentally and physically — that has quality starting experience in college, albeit at a lower level.
When asked what a player gains from going the junior-college route, receiver Kevin White, a transfer from Lackawanna College, said: "It's going against men and not boys."
And players at that level aren't exactly sandlot players.
Punter Nick O'Toole, a transfer from Fullerton College, called it a "grab-bag mix" of guys. Some, like O'Toole, were overlooked out of high school, some were recruited but couldn't make the grades and some would never cut it at the Division I level as freshmen.
Offensive line coach Ron Crook has been around college football for two decades, and he attributed the rise in popularity in part to the fact that coaches have a shorter leash.
"You don't have a long-term contract to get things done anymore," he said. "You're looking for guys that can help you win right away. On one hand, it's unfortunate because you're always going to build your program around guys who are here for an extended period of time. But at the same time, you have to be realistic and ask, 'How can we get the best team on the field?' "
Running backs coach JaJuan Seider added that with rosters capped at 85 scholarship players — compared to 125 when he played at West Virginia in the mid-1990s — a transition like the school made last year from the Big East to the Big 12 is a radical adjustment. Coaches don't have enough time or roster spots to recruit and develop young talent to get up to speed.
"You're behind the eight ball in recruiting, so now you're trying to catch up to JUCO guys that can play in the Big 12," Seider said.
But there's still a transition period, though it tends to be shorter than for an average high school recruit. Every former transfer, from nose tackle Shaq Rowell to running back Dreamius Smith, mentions the same difficulty: tempo.
"There's no tempo in JUCO like they run in Division I," Rowell said. "Especially in the Big 12 where it just happens to be the highest-tempo conference in the country."
Then there's the little stuff.
"You've got to pay attention to everything — keys, reads, where's the defense flowing," Smith said. "You've got to open up your game. You can't just be a running back that can run — you've got to block, pick up blitzes."
"I'm still adjusting," White said with a laugh. "In JUCO and high school I never had signals or had to change my route because of defensive schemes."
It certainly seems to be working, so are junior-college transfers the way of the future? Not exactly. Holgorsen called it a "year-to-year thing."
"You never want to take a lot of them, because you want to build your depth," Seider said. "You like to build from within and let your own kids mature, but we were in a situation where we needed depth. We needed guys that could come in and play right away and push the guys in front of them to create competition."

Can you guess which of these cartridges are any good?
Is it the Underwood 9mm +p+ with 124gr Speer Gold Dot bonded hollowpoint?
Or is it the Liberty 9mm +p with 50gr lead free hollowpoint?
I dunno, but I can't wait to put this shit in some water jugs.

Expecting my deposit today I checked before heading out to pay bills. When I checked I was told it would take 3 days for the funds to be attached to my card. Nowhere in the agreement does it state that. I even pointed that out to them.
They told me that the money is deposited to JP Morgan Chase asked for the number and they said they didnt have it.

I just got this rushcard in the mail a couple weeks ago. Before i even got it in the mail it i get 7 of the same email saying my card has been set up for direct deposit for my SSI--- i NEVER set up a direct deposit because i didnt want that for a specific reason... So i call the number on the back of the card and the REP tells me not to worry about it its just a confirmation saying that i got approved..so i say ok for now. I check today(the 1st my SSI is in my bank by 7am.) And i have no money in my bank account-- i contact SSI and it got set up where i have Direct Deposit to the debit card- which may i remind people- I NEVER SET UP! So i call up the *** company and i was on the phone with the rep for an hour! He said the best he can do is send me a check to my bank for all the money will be at my bank in 7-10 buisness days.. so now i'm thinking about calling the police and reporting them because i never set up for direct deposit and now they have my money -THE ONLY MONEY I HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR MYSELF AND MY 5 MONTH OLD! - i'm not sure what i;m going to do if i dont get my money back.0 0 Reply

I dunno Feb 08, 2012
I've had a Rushcard for a little over 2 years now. Last year and this year, I got my taxes Immediately when I was expecting them. Also, I've had to replace a lost card, and have called customer service with questions on several occasions, and NEVER had an issue with "lost accounts" or my payroll deposit or missing funds of any kind. The only gripe I have is it usually takes like 15-20 mins to get a hold of customer service. They are incredibly helpful once they get on the line though.0 0 Reply
A mad black woman Feb 07, 2012
I am having the same problem right now, I was suppose to get my tax refund today but the customer service representative told me they didnt have any record of me even having an account, then they told me to call irs, which i had already did, then they told me to load some money on my card and hen the money would come throught but it never did. Now I am sitting here reading all the comments about what everyone else is going through and i am so mad because i know russel simmons dont know whats going on with these cards. If he did he would have the issue fixed right away. I mean i dont have a choice but to wait for another 3 days to get money but I tell yall one thing, If I dont have my money by sunday, somebody is gone write me a chech from chase bank, and thats not a joke. I work too hard to have to wait longer than I already have for my tax refund, I have bills and more bills to pay. Im also gone be writing a letter to ruusel to let him know what is going on with his company, as far as these cards go.0 0 Reply

Are you people kidding? Please make sure your account with your bank, friends and other interest are not responsible. I've never heard of such a thing! My family, girl friend all use Rush Cards and have never had a problem. And we didn't just start using it either. Sure, they charge $1.00 for every purchase you do. BUT, I love getting my Cash Back every single month. I don't not believe these posts are even real. This man has made a card available to people who can't get credit cards, and need a safe way to shop on line, off line or who just want and need a credit card. It helps me with my spending because I only put $400.00 on it every month and use that for Ebay, O.com or what ever. Russel Simmons don't need your pennies. Trust me. Last time I checked even with my Master Card, I have to pay $1.00 fee at the ATM'S or in some retail, and it's my money! This is always the case, nothing new. DUH! You people are either ***, never had a credit card or haters.0 0 Reply

10.6: Disable Spotlight and remove Spotlight icon from menu
i knew someone would bring up application launching and completely ignore the other completely valid issues i have with Spotlight. (finding hidden files / finding files within packages or files within the 'magic' folders / chewing up hard drives / indexing any and all disks i ever plug into a machine / mds & mdimport polling the drives 24/7 for no good reason / etc etc etc).
10.6: Disable Spotlight and remove Spotlight icon from menu
I agree Spotlight may not be the tool for a Power User; as with most of the Mac's features though, it is a great tool and huge time saver built into the OS for the casual user/newbie. And it's awesome that there are so many little features like this built into the OS! (Can you tell I was previously a Windows user?) Let me tell you, after dealing with the non-indexed Windows file search for years, Spotlight is a dream! I know it doesn't have everything, but I finally found a hint on here explaining that you can search System folders/files by opening a search in the Finder (cmd-F I think) and selecting other - system files for the extra search criteria or something. Unfortunately you still can't do this from the menu ber AFAIK but I've saved the system files rule in a smart folder and I use it all the time - works great! I'm not sure why Spotlight is slow for you... as the last guy said, it always returns all results almost instantly (definately within 3 seconds at it's slowest) for me.
10.6: Disable Spotlight and remove Spotlight icon from menu
I find Spotlight indispensable tool, and I use it all the time. I don't have the same issues you do with spotlight. The minimal initial indexing overhead is negligible, and spotlight rarely uses the CPU or hard drive after that. And you can turn off indexing for external hard drives that you often connect and disconnect.

Going further than many others, they suggest that the presence of OCS in schizophrenia may have a different meaning, depending on whether the OCS appeared before or after onset of traditional symptoms. In other words, while others have suggested that OCS may mark a subtype of schizophrenia, these authors suggest there may be two different groups of persons with schizophrenia and OCS. This distinction may prove useful because, as implied in their letter, the current literature has been quite confusing, given that some researchers find the presence of OCS linked with better outcome, while others find the opposite (Borkowska, Pilaczynska, & Rybakowski, 2003; Hwang, M.Y., Morgan, & Losconzcy, 2000; Whitney, Fastaneau, Evans & Lysaker, 2004). The possibility that there are at least two subgroups of persons with schizophrenia and OCS is also supported by a recent cluster analysis, in which we found two distinct groups of persons with schizophrenia and OCS: one with particularly good psychosocial function and one with especially poor neurocognitive function (Lysaker, Lancaster, Nees, & Davis, 2004). While they remain a matter of conjecture at present, the notions of Dr. Reznik and Kotler can be easily tested and if confirmed may help unravel a piece of the complexity of schizophrenia.
