Andy Warhol's Dream America. Hot on the heels of its smash hit, Chihuly, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is presenting yet another blockbuster devoted to the work of a household name in contemporary art: Andy Warhol's Dream America. The exhibition was curated by Ben Mitchell of Wyoming's Nicolaysen Museum. The more than 100 prints -- on loan from the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation -- survey the pop pioneer's career from the late '60s to 1986, the year before he died. There are many iconic Warhol images included, such as his depictions of soup cans, shoes, Marilyn, Jackie and Mao. More than any other pop artist of his generation, Warhol anticipated the art of today by working not only in traditional media, such as the prints in this show, but also in film and performance. He is generally regarded as having been among the most important artists in the world during the second half of the twentieth century, and one of the greatest American artists of all time. The wide range of prints in this show neatly explains why. Through December 31 at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, 30 West Dale Street, Colorado Springs, 1-719-634-5581.
Constructions and Stoppers. Sandy Carson Gallery is hosting two disparate solos that are installed together. On the walls are contemporary representational paintings by Sarah McKenzie in a show called Constructions; on the floor are conceptual sculptures by Virginia Folkestad that make up the exhibit Stoppers. McKenzie's recent creations are close-up views of houses under construction. In the paintings, the artist focuses on unfinished structures, with all those straight lines of the skeletal beams suggesting constructivist abstractions. The Folkestad sculptures are all fairly alike and are all titled "Stoppers." Scattered throughout the spaces in the front, the sculptures take the form of gigantic concrete eggs with a steel arch emerging from the top of each. The ends are cracked and open, with tangles of braided rope spilling out from the inside. Through November 12 at Sandy Carson Gallery, 760 Santa Fe Drive, 303-573-8585. Reviewed on October 20.
Geometric Abstraction. This group show at the UMC Gallery at the University of Colorado at Boulder brings together works by a variety of artists who did geometric abstraction in the '60s and '70s. This kind of thing was perfect for the times, because the simplicity meant that there was no content other than form and color, making it corporate-friendly, unlike the narrative-heavy pop art of the same period. Despite the stylistic affinities that link all of the Geometric artists, the show includes two distinctly different generations: Frank Stella and Sol LeWitt, who were responding to abstract expressionism; and Herbert Bayer and Ilya Bolotowsky, who were embracing geometry before the first abstract expressionist flung the first wad of paint. The two generations were motivated by different impulses, even if their pieces are all superficially compatible. The included works come from the Colorado Collection, CU's impressive art holdings. Through November 4 at the UMC Gallery, University Memorial Center, Broadway and Euclid Street, Boulder, 303-492-7465.
Capsule reviews
Jack Balas and Wes Hempel. Berthoud-based artists Jack Balas and Wes Hempel have been partners for more than twenty years, and each is an established artist with his own distinctive style. However, the two are also able to play together on hybrid pieces, as is revealed by this show. But they don't work simultaneously on the same piece: Balas typically comes in after Hempel has completed his part. In some cases, the Hempel contribution was an abandoned painting that Balas took over and made whole. Balas was trained as an architect and fine artist, which possibly explains his interest in neo-pop, while Hempel is a self-taught artist who started out as a writer, which may be why his paintings are so narrative. Balas's pieces often include scribbled passages and shifting scale distortions; Hempel, on the other hand, lends his tightly done pictures a surrealistic quality through depictions of historic art and architecture. There is one thing the two artists have in common: They both like to incorporate depictions of good-looking young guys. These figures represent the everyman on whom the intellectual content of the pieces rest. Through November 5 at the Robischon Gallery, 1740 Wazee Street, 303-298-7788.
The Modern Muybridge Series. This is a clever show that features recent work by Rodney Wallace, who runs the gallery with the oddball name of KOUBOU a Deux, an invented Franco-Japanese phrase that means "artist workshop for two." The show's title refers to Eadweard Muybridge, a pioneer of scientific photography who took sequential photos of people and animals in motion. Free association connects them to Warhol's repetitious imagery, and Wallace references both sensibilities simultaneously. Particularly Warholian are Wallace's bright colors. Also compelling is Wallace's gritty take on city life: His pieces include depictions of a woman loaded down with luggage, a homeless man pushing a shopping cart and an assault in progress, among other contemporary urban scenes. To do the paintings, Wallace took digital photos, some of them staged using models, and then projected the images onto blank canvases. Tracing the images with watercolor pencils, he painted in the forms using acrylics that melted the tracings so that no outlines were left behind. Through November 5 at KOUBOU a Deux, upstairs at 7571/2 Santa Fe Drive, 720-203-1944. Reviewed October 13.
Patti Cramer. Artist Patti Cramer is a Denver icon. The Westword contributor has been the subject of innumerable solos over the past twenty years, and her work is in many collections in the region. In the past few years, Cramer has kept a lower-than-usual profile, making the self-titled Patti Cramer at Open Press LTD a rare opportunity to see what she's been up to lately. The show includes paintings, monotypes and etchings, the latter two mediums created at Open Press, which is more of a printmaking facility than a gallery. Cramer's signature pieces look like a cross between Old Master paintings and New Yorker cartoons. Cramer's world is made up of fashionable people socializing in restaurants and out on the sidewalks. There are also portraits and landscapes, as well as her characteristic depictions of horses. Cramer's horses are linear and are more abstract than any of her other subjects. Though the Open Press exhibition space is fairly small, Patti Cramer is a large show of nearly fifty pieces. Through December 10 at Open Press LTD, 40 West Bayaud Street, 303-778-1116. Reviewed on October 20.
Revealing the Muse and Colorado Innovators. Hugh Grant, founder and director of the Kirkland Museum on Capitol Hill, curated both Revealing the Muse and Colorado Innovators both at the Lakewood Heritage Center using pieces borrowed from his institution's permanent collection. The Kirkland Museum has an impressive assemblage that includes paintings by Kirkland himself, work by other Colorado artists and an extensive group of decorative arts. Colorado Innovators provides a survey of mid-twentieth-century artists working in Denver. Most of the objects included have either never been exhibited or haven't been seen in living memory. Revealing the Muse is a Vance Kirkland retrospective that begins with his work from the 1930s and ends with pieces done right before his death in 1981. I think it could be argued that surrealism was Kirkland's most important influence, and one of his most important innovations was the mixing of oil paint and water poured onto the surfaces of his pieces. Beginning in the 1950s, this mixture led to some of his greatest paintings ever. Through February 10 at the Radius Gallery, Lakewood Heritage Center, 801 South Yarrow Street, Lakewood, 303-987-7850. Reviewed September 8.

Step Right Up! In this two-part exhibit at Studio Aiello, Denver artist David Seiler has installed a conventional art show up front and something very unusual in the back: a circus-looking tent filled with sculptures that recall sideshow attractions. A depiction of a barker with a sound track draws viewers into the tent. Seiler antiqued the sculpture so that it appears to date from the early twentieth century, which the hypothetical time frame of his carnival, which is called "Circus of More." Seiler is dead-on in conveying the look of agedness, with everything in the show -- even the tent itself -- appearing to be antique. The yellow- and red-striped tent was draped from the ceiling, completely transforming the room into a creepy place -- a feeling that's enhanced by the dim lighting. Arrayed around the tent are various devices such as "Phrenitiscopes" -- motion picture contraptions that are hand-cranked -- as well as a fortune-telling machine and a wheel of fortune. Through November 4 at Studio Aiello, 3563 Walnut Street, 303-297-8166. Reviewed October 20.
Steve Altman and Crowded. The fall openers at the Singer Gallery of the Mizel Center are Steve Altman: Incognito and Crowded: Drawings and Collages by Elliott Green. Altman is a well-known local painter whose work combines an abstract-expressionist sensibility with depictions of recognizable things. Singer director Simon Zalkind organized the show, selecting recent paintings and older pieces that together briefly survey Altman's career. Zalkind was especially interested in Altman's take on the big themes of life and death -- and everything in between. The newer paintings feature prominent depictions of the figure, while the earlier ones tend to be more thoroughly abstract. The other, smaller show, Crowded, installed together with the Altman exhibit, highlights Green's cartoonish and somewhat Picassoid collages and drawings. The show's title refers to the fact that Green's compositions are crowded with as many figures as possible. The New York artist is fairly famous, and he was directly involved with this show, lending all of the pieces for it. Through November 6 at the Singer Gallery, Mizel Center for Arts and Culture, 350 South Dahlia Street, 303-316-6360. Reviewed October 13.
Trading Voices, et al. This juried show in the Lower Gallery at the Arvada Center was put together using a clever if obvious idea: Have a Coloradan judge the Arizona pieces, and an Arizonan pick the Colorado ones. In this case, the local was Denver Art Museum curator Dianne Vanderlip, who was matched with Marilyn Zeitlin from the Arizona State University Art Museum. The concept for the show, which compares artists from the two states, came from Arvada's gallery and museum director, Jerry Gilmore, who lived in Arizona and still maintains ties to the art scene there. Interestingly, the Colorado artists outnumber those from Arizona by a ratio of two to one. In the Upper Gallery is a site-specific piece based on artist Amy Mishkin's harrowing life experiences, titled Pivotal Experience. In the Theater Gallery is New Works on Paper, made up of prints by Chuck McCoy that combine fine art and commercial processes. Trading Voices runs through November 21, Pivotal Experience through November 13, New Works on Paper through November 20, all at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Boulevard, 720-898-7200.

The LDS couples profiled on TLC's "My Husband Is Not Gay" may find these statistics sobering: Marriages like theirs same-sex attracted husbands and straight wives are two to three times more likely to end in divorce than others.
That finding and others come from a newly released in-depth survey of 1,612 self-selected LGBT/same-sex attracted Mormons and former Mormons, thought by researchers to be the largest study ever conducted with this population.
Rather than tapping a random sample, John Dehlin, a doctoral student at Utah State University, and Bill Bradshaw, a retired Brigham Young University professor, with help from Renee Galliher, also of USU, solicited responses via various websites, including pro-Mormon outlets such as North Star International and those more critical such as Dehlin's own "Mormon Stories" podcast.

Patient Comments: Esophageal Cancer - Doctors & Second Opinion
How did you go about getting a second opinion for your esophageal cancer?
Main Article on Esophageal Cancer
Comment from: crystalbay, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: June 05
In 2010, an endoscopy found a 2cm tumor at the junction of my esophagus and stomach (adenocarcinoma) and I was scheduled for the Ivor Lewis surgery 2 weeks later. A friend insisted that I get a second opinion at Mayo in MN. This saved my life because only there was the exacting endoscopic ultrasound done. My PET had shown no lymph node involvement, but the EUS found a tiny hot node on my stomach. As a result, weeks of chemo and radiation were ordered prior to the surgery. I spent nearly four months in the hospital on a feeding tube following the surgery, but eventually recovered. Other than being a tiny size zero as a result, I've had 8 clean PET scans and am now 3 years out.

Jeep EcoDiesel Patent Hints at Name for Grand Cherokee Engine
Jeep is bringing a Grand Cherokee diesel to America, and when it arrives, it will likely wear an EcoDiesel 3.0L badge.
Chrysler recently filed a trademark on the name, and logo for EcoDiesel. No where does it explicitly say that it is for the Jeep, but because we know that the Grand Cherokee will run with a 3.0-liter diesel, it seems like the only logical option.
To sell the diesel over other fuel efficient choices such as hybrids, Jeep has tacked on the Eco prefix to highlight the engines fuel economy.
In European markets, the Grand Cherokee is already available with a 3.0-liter diesel V-6 making 224 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, and we expect the U.S. version will get the same engine.

APTOS >> It's all about the music for Bill Welch.
The 60-year-old Welch producer and cofounder for the Santa Cruz Blues Festival, in its 22nd year. The festival got a strong start Saturday with more than 3,000 people sitting in front of the stage set up inside Aptos Village Park.
"There's so much music out there and so many new genres," he said. "This is about what we've been doing here. It all goes back to the blues."
A single stage is set up on the south side of the park and patrons, who brought their own chairs, towels and blankets to sit on, spread out across the park.
For several years, Cal Ares sailed with friends from Sausalito to the Santa Cruz harbor for the festival.
"I like the small venue and the big names," said the 66 year old from Jenner.
Larger music festivals can feel overwhelming, he said.
In a word for Ares: sweet. "It's a sweet little festival. Just right," he said.
Scott Owens of Sacramento came with his 4-year-old daughter, friends and their kids. Usually the group goes to the Strawberry Music Festival near Yosemite. But the festival was canceled because of the 2013 Rim Fire in August. So they came to the Santa Cruz festival instead.
"It's a great family venue," he said. He emphasized that it wasn't overwhelming like larger events. The crowd was a good size — not too big, not too small — making it easier to keep track of the kids, he said.
The location was an attraction, too.
"We figured we could combine a little bit of beach and music," he said.
Anne Hayden, an Aptos resident, usually doesn't attend the festival since she could hear it from her home. But the 60 year old came this year because friends invited her.
A fan of the genre, Hayden attended a blues festival in New Orleans and said she preferred it to the Santa Cruz one. However, she couldn't argue with the lineup.
"We're going to see Greg Allman," she said.
Saturday's lineup included the Gregg Allman Band, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Tab Benoit, Dave and Phil Alvin with The Guilty Ones and Nikki Hill. Sunday's Artists include Ana Popovic, Rich Robinson, Jackie Greene, Vintage Trouble and Chris Isaak, with tickets still available online. Artist Dave Alvin played at Moe's Alley, a venue owned by Welch, in the past and was making his third appearance at the festival.
"I've loved it from the first time I played it," he said of the festival. "It's pretty easy going and Bill (Welch) is a great guy."
Phil Alvin, who said it was his first time playing the festival, said there wasn't more he could ask for out of a venue.
"It's a beautiful place for a concert," he said.
While creating a lineup is difficult, Welch said it was worth it.
"We've got this kind of gumbo style lineup this year that really works out well," Welch said. "They all kind of blend together in an unusual way. They make each other stronger as a combination of acts. I think."
In the 22 years that Welch has produced the festival, the best moment was having Ray Charles in the show.
"Ray Charles with a 22-piece band," he said. "I could've died and gone to heaven the next day and been a happy, happy, happy camper."
Who: Artists include Chris Isaak, Vintage Trouble, Jackie Greene, Rich Robinson and Ana Popovic
Where: Aptos Village Park
When: Gates open at 10 a.m. and show begins at 11 a.m. Sunday
Cost: $65 to $100 for adults and $25 to a child's ticket

Illinois Workers' Compensation Attorneys
Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers Since 1948
Do you need to know how to file a workers' compensation claim? Have you already filed your claim and are involved in a weekly benefits dispute or a dispute over your medical treatment? Porro, Niermann & Petersen, LLC. can help you get what you are entitled to by law. Among the best workers compensation attorneys, we know the law because our attorneys have been involved with workers' compensation legislation, as well as the creation of the most recent edition of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Guidebook. We helped right the book on workers' compensation!
Our attorneys have been protecting the rights of victims of work injuries and occupational diseases in Illinois and throughout the western suburbs since 1948. No fee if we don't win.
What Is Workers' Compensation?
Workers' compensation is a mandated state program that provides compensation to employees and workers who have suffered job / work related illnesses and injuries.
State laws govern workers' compensation benefits. In Illinois, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act outlines the rights of injured workers.
Medical expenses – Medical expenses are 100% covered. No deductible or co-pay from insurance is required.
Temporary Total Disability (TTD) – If you need to heal from accidents or injuries taht occurred at work, you are entitled to a weekly lost wage benefit. This sum is calculated based on two-thirds of your average gross weekly wage.
Partial Permanent Disability (PPD) – This benefit is meant to compensate you for your injuries if you suffer from partial loss of the use of a body part. These benefits are determined by what body part is permanently impaired and how that will affect your life ongoing.
Permanent Total Disability (PTD) – If your injury leaves you unable to do any kind of work or you lose two of the same body parts, you are entitled to benefits for life. These benefits are calculated based on two-thirds of your average gross weekly wage.
Wage Loss Differential – If your injury stops you from being able to do your job and therefore you must take a lower paying job, you may be entitled to a benefit equal to two-thirds of the difference between the average gross weekly wages of each job.
Vocational Retraining – If you cannot return to your job due to your accident or injury, then you may be entitled to compensation for retraining within another occupation.
Survivor benefits – If a worker is killed while on the job, then their dependents are eligible for workers' compensation benefits.
Comprehensive Workers' Compensation Representation
We can assist with any question or issue you have about Illinois workers' comp and your rights. We can address choice of doctors, medical care and return to work, tips for dealing with the workers' compensation insurance adjuster, inability to secure medication, light duty restrictions, weekly benefits (sometimes referred to as temporary total disability benefits or TTD benefits) and negotiation of settlements. We address disputed workers' compensation claims, nonpayment of benefits and can help you manage your workers' compensation case.
You can learn more about Illinois Workers Compensation here.
What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Rights
We recommend keeping a diary of the events surrounding your work comp claim.
Keep records of all relevant information, including:
- Date the incident occurred
- Names and addresses of everyone who witnessed the incident
- Name of the foreman or supervisor to whom the incident was reported
- Name of the union official or fellow employee who witnessed the incident report
- Information on all chemicals or equipment that played a role in the incident
- Names and addresses of all places where medical treatment occurred
- Number of days missed from work as a result of the incident
- A copy of the doctor's excuse from work
Accurate information can prove critical in resolving disputes efficiently and effectively.
Other remedies may be available beyond workers' compensation. If the injury or illness was the result of a third party such as a property owner or the manufacturer of defective work equipment, a personal injury claim may be filed. This may lead to additional compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the incident, as well as compensation for economic loss and loss of consortium.

Mancienne close to Hamburg switch
Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne says he is set to end his long association with the Blues by moving to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
Mancienne, 23, progressed through the Stamford Bridge youth set-up from an early age but has spent almost his entire professional career on loan, playing for the Chelsea first-team just six times in six seasons.
The defender has played for QPR and Wolves for two and three loan spells respectively, though he struggled to get into Mick McCarthy's side this term, making only 13 Premier League starts.
But Mancienne's inability to break into the Wolves team has not deterred former Chelsea technical director Frank Arnsesen - now sporting director at Hamburg - from swooping for a player who was once considered one of the Blues most promising young players.
Mancienne has been given special dispensation to leave the Engand Under-21s pre-European Championship training camp to finalise the reported £3 million move, with the defender delighted at the possibility of a new challenge.
"Hamburg get 50,000 every home game and my first job is to help them get in the Champions League," Mancienne said "It's a very exciting move."
Mancienne had two years left on his existing contract but looks set to put pen to paper on a £40,000-a-week deal with Hamburg, who under instruction from Arnesen are also believed to be chasing fellow Chelsea starlets Jeffrey Bruma and Gael Kakuta.

I seem to have lost a bit of steam for researching stuff so I wonder if you all will share what you're doing as far is 3rd Trimester nutrition, supplements and fitness. For instance, I know I read a while back about starting Evening Primrose Oil at some point late in pregnancy. I also thought Vit C is important for the amniotic sac? I also think I read that fish oil is more important now than ever (I should get back to taking that). I've been trying to get a daily drink of Red Raspberry Leaf Tea. I also got a birth ball, improving posture, and am working on the spinning babies site for optimal fetal positioning. I've got to get the kegles going...
What else are you all doing to get ready for this home stretch? I'd love to hear anything - both "mainstream" and alternative because I feel I'm not even up on the conventional stuff right now.
For any of you super organized mamas (I know we have some ) I'd love to see a list that includes the things we may have been wanting to have been doing all along (for a reminder/motivator) as well as a list of the things that can/should be added as the pregnancy comes to an end (as if any of us are really ready to think about that).
Troll? Here's me...
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I'll start since I asked!
Things you can/should already be doing:
Attention to adequate protein intake
Attention to water intake
Good nutrition and/or supplement (I'm only doing a gummi vit when I think of it and the very sporadic Vit C and Fish Oil)
Some good mama tea (RRL, Alfalfa, Stinging Nettle is what I'm doing when I can) What else to add?
Things to begin thinking in the 3rd Trimester (or sooner):
Limit couch time
Consider optimal baby positioning / spinningbabies.com
Do some relaxation stuff for labor (Hypnobabies?)
At about 6 weeks before DD:
Focus on optimal positioning
Consider EPO
Increase RRL Tea
Please add to this list for a reference to all of us!! (and help me be lazy right now)

If you haven't been working at it already, I'll recommend doing Kegel exercises. I didn't do it last time and it took me much longer to recover my pelvic floor than after my first pregnancy (of course some of that could be age, but I'm not taking any chances).
Jordana, mama to almost 8 year old Evan, 3 year old Atticus, and 1 year old Tabitha - my gifts from heaven
I'm trying to make an effort in the protein and water department. Also RRL tea, which I already have and from what I recall tasted pretty good - just need to make it a habit to drink it every day.
A great article about strengthening your pelvic floor.
"A Kegel attempts to strengthen the PF, but it really only continues to pull the sacrum inward promoting even more weakness, and more PF gripping."
ugh...I was sooo militant about all of these things when pregnant with my first, but I just cannot seem to get myself to do all of the things I KNOW I should be doing!
Must get motivated....
Nothing exciting to add to what others have said. Here are my lists:
What i'm taking:
vit c with bioflavonoids
vit d
b complex
fish oil
What I need to get better about right now:
kegels (my pelvic floor is already weaker than weak.. blah)
exercise in general
protein intake (80-100g/day)
pregnancy tea (ideally I make my own with RRL, oatstraw, nettle leaf, and alfalfa, non-ideally, I use the commercially sold tea bags)
start listening to my hypnobirthing cd
Looking ahead to 30+weeks:
positioning -- have anterior placenta, which increases chances of posterior babe
pull out the birth/exercise ball and think of a way to get my kids to leave it alone, start using it
start thinking about birth a little bit LOL
Adequate water, protein, etc.

Homemade Pregnancy Tea (was taking 2 cups a day until I ran out of Nettles and Mountain Rose has taken forever to get some to me; when I receive them, I will start drinking 3 cups/day until about 36 weeks, when I will switch to straight infusions of RRL and Nettles)
And I was taking but have stopped the following supplements:
Prometrium - 200mg/day (weaned off gradually and was all done around 14-15 weeks)

SAO PAULO — Formula One veteran Rubens Barrichello announced Thursday he will join the IndyCar series this season.
Barrichello has reached a two-year deal to race for KV Racing Technology and will make his debut at the season opener on March 25 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"I'm very competitive and I'm not doing this just for fun, but I'll keep my feet on the ground in the beginning because I'll be a rookie despite of all my previous racing experience," Barrichello said.
The 39-year-old Brazilian will participate in all 16 IndyCar races on the calendar, including the five on oval tracks. He previously had said there was a chance he would skip the oval circuits because of safety concerns and consideration for his family.
"I had always promised to my wife, Silvana, that I wouldn't race on ovals," Barrichello said. "But we talked a lot and in the end she said that she wouldn't interfere if this was really what I wanted to do. I think my two sons were actually the ones who helped convince her."
Initially, Barrichello thought about racing only at the Indy 500, but realized it wouldn't make sense to skip the other races on ovals.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting at home and watching someone else driving my car," Barrichello said.
The arrival of a well-recognized name in racing such as Barrichello is welcomed by IndyCar, which is trying to revamp its image after ending last season on a low following the death of Dan Wheldon in Las Vegas.
Izod IndyCar Series CEO Randy Bernard went to one of Barrichello's test sessions to meet the Brazilian.
He drove for Williams in F1 last season but lost his spot to countryman Bruno Senna, ending a 19-year career in the series.
KV Racing co-owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Jimmy Vasser also were at Thursday's news conference to announce the deal, as were Barrichello's new teammate and old friend, Tony Kanaan. E.J. Viso of Venezuela will be the team's other driver this season.
"We are kind of pinching ourselves, it's a dream to be bringing Rubens to our team," Vasser said. "We raised our level when we brought Kanaan, and now with Rubens even more. The sky is the limit for our team."
KV Racing also announced that Kanaan's contract was extended for another two years. He had been signed by KV Racing just before last season on a one-year deal.
There had been widespread rumors of Barrichello moving to IndyCar since he tested twice for KV Racing earlier this year on an invitation from Kanaan. He drove well and had said his move to the series depended only on finding sponsors.
"This wasn't expected at all at first," he said. "But it kind of evolved after the first test and now I'm really happy to be starting this new phase in my life."
Barrichello drove in 325 races in F1 — a record in the series — finishing second in the drivers' standings in 2002 and 2004, both times behind seven-time champion Michael Schumacher of Ferrari.

Consortium will make formal bid in July
25 June 2007, AMSTERDAM (AP) - A consortium of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland PLC will formally submit its planned EUR 71.1 billion bid for the Netherlands' ABN Amro Holding NV in mid-July, the group said Friday.
25 June 2007
AMSTERDAM (AP) - A consortium of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland PLC will formally submit its planned EUR 71.1 billion bid for the Netherlands' ABN Amro Holding NV in mid-July, the group said Friday.
The assertion underlines the consortium's intention to proceed with its takeover attempt despite uncertainty about whether ABN Amro's earlier agreement to sell its U.S. arm, LaSalle Bank Corp. - a potential dealbreaker - will go through.
ABN Amro has already agreed to be acquired by Barclays PLC for about EUR 62.8 billion in stock. Barclays' offer is dependent on the LaSalle sale going through, while the consortium offer depends on it being unwound.
The RBS consortium said in a statement that, like its rival Barclays, it was "making good progress on regulatory change of control and antitrust filings" involving its bid for ABN.
The consortium has said it will offer EUR 38.40 per share, mostly in cash, for ABN, at least 10 percent more than Barclays' all-share offer, which is worth EUR 34.52 per share at current levels.
Either deal, if successful, would be the largest banking takeover ever.
The RBS consortium is convinced its proposed offer represents "superior value for ABN Amro shareholders and significant benefits for customers and employees," the group said.
ABN Amro shares closed at EUR 35.26 Thursday, suggesting investors are unsure which bid will prevail.
The struggle to buy ABN Amro became mired in a legal dispute after the Dutch bank unexpectedly agreed to sell LaSalle to Bank of America Corp. for US$21 billion (EUR 15.5 billion) as a precondition of the Barclays deal. That was widely seen as a poison pill measure to frustrate RBS, which also wants LaSalle.
But Amsterdam Superior Court judges blocked the sale, saying ABN Amro improperly failed to consult shareholders on a deal that would lead to a buyout of ABN.
BofA has challenged that ruling in both U.S. and Dutch courts, and the Dutch Supreme Court is expected to rule by early July.
However, the consortium appears determined to push on with its offer, and has included a reserve of EUR 1.8 billion to pay potential claims from Bank of America if the LaSalle sale is undone.
Under the consortium deal, RBS would take LaSalle and ABN's investment banking operations; Fortis NV of Belgium would take ABN's Dutch and asset management operations; and Banco Santander Central Hispano SA of Spain will buy its Italian and Brazilian arms.
The banks said Friday they will hold shareholder meetings by mid-August to approve the acquisition.

Online check verification is a service that businesses can utilize to verify that an accepted check is valid. This purchased service is usually advertised as free to hook potential customers, but companies often charge customers after a free trial or transaction introductory offer runs out, according to CrossCheck.Continue Reading
Check verification allows businesses to instantly determine the validity of a check or draft being presented by verifying the bank routing number and bank account status, explains Lyons Commercial Data. This reduces the likelihood of returned checks and takes the worry out of accepting checks at the point of sale. With check verification, authorization and recommendation occurs in seconds via phone, terminal or Internet.
A common myth regarding check verification is that individual consumers can be served by a check verification service. This is untrue, according to CrossCheck. To utilize a reputable check verification company, an individual must be in business and have a merchant account and the necessary hardware, which can only be purchased or loaned by a check verification service. Customers also have to sign a service agreement.
Check verification can benefit businesses by helping them improve cash flow; support point-of-sale, online or phone transactions; reduce processing costs; and reduce bank fees. Examples of businesses that utilize check verification include retail stores, financial institutions, payment processors, check guarantee/check cashing service providers, and companies that do monthly check drafting or billing, notes Lyons Commercial Data.Learn more about Personal Banking

Presented by the British Museum and rounded out with pieces from institutions in Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia, "Mesopotamia: Inventing Our World" covers 3,000 years of human development in the cradle of urban civilization.

Theatre: So we've had a few long weekends, a few Jays wins, and a few sweltering days followed by a few rain showers…so why doesn't it truly feel like summer yet?
Because the Toronto Fringe Festival has yet to begin! But don't worry, it will soon. Soon being Wednesday, July 3.
From July 3 to 14, some of the world's most exciting performers and theatremakers (as well as plenty of total unknowns) will be performing at the annual arts festival, which is curated solely by a random lottery. With almost 150 shows and over one thousand artists involved this year—the Festival's 25th anniversary—there are bound to be some extraordinary shows, some mediocre ones, some gruesome ones, and most of all, something for everyone.

Multiple venues, Saturday at 12 a.m. and Sunday at 12 a.m., FREE. Details
- Performing Arts: Cats is a challenging musical to stage for a number of reasons. The narrative is thin and strange; the lyrics are drawn primarily from T.S. Eliot's poetry collection Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats, with more borrowed from some other Eliot poems, "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" (which original director Trevor Nunn adapted into the song "Memory") and "Moments of Happiness." The result is not so much a story as ideas and character sketches. Old Deuteronomy, patriarch of the Jellicle Cats, calls the creatures together once a year to celebrate, and for one cat to be chosen to ascend to the Heaviside Layer (essentially, to die and be reincarnated). Most of the songs detail the adventures and virtues of a single cat in particular, essentially serving as that cat's audition for the honour of ascension. Panasonic Theatre (651 Yonge Street), Saturday at 1:30 p.m.,7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m., $60–$110. Details
- Art: The world's most ubiquitous doll gets a subversive makeover in Frantz Brent-Harris and Rose-Ann Marie Bailey's "BLK Barbie Project," a photo exhibit on the "representation of beauty and body image of black women." The gallery is open Saturday and Sunday afternoons until 5 p.m. through July 21, with an opening reception at 7 p.m. on June 28, an artist's talk at 5 p.m. on July 13, and a closing reception at 7 p.m. on July 21. Black Artists' Network in Dialogue (1 Wiltshire Ave., Suite 134), Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m., FREE. Details
- Theatre: The hockey season may have ended only days ago, but we bet you're already feeling the withdrawal. No doubt, that's why the Second City had the bright idea to bring one of the most classic hockey films to the stage. Check out Slap Shot Live!, a comedic re-enactment of the Charleston Chiefs minor league hockey team's fight for victory in its final season. Second City (51 Mercer Street), Saturday at 7 p.m.,10 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m., $29-$34, plus tax.. Details
- Performing Arts: Henri Fabergé's Feint of Hart is an epic cabaret/punk opera that combines music, theatre, and film to tell the tale of a young aristocrat "whose Dionysian free spirit meets the resistance of firm Edwardian rule." Featuring a long list of performers who you're probably already familiar with including Doldrums, Maylee Todd, Bob Wiseman, Kathleen Phillips, and more. The show will be broken up into multiple episodes over multiple days though the ticket price covers both parts. Click here for the full schedule. Videofag (187 Augusta Avenue), Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m., $20. Details
Happening soon:
Urban Planner is Torontoist's guide to what's on in Toronto, published every weekday morning, and in a weekend edition Friday afternoons. If you have an event you'd like considered, email us with all the details (including images, if you've got any), ideally at least a week in advance.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - The second defendant in the 2010 kidnapping and murder of a Florida State University student was convicted Thursday.
A jury deliberated for an hour before finding Kentrell Johnson guilty of one count of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree felony murder and one count of kidnapping in the death of 29-year-old Vincent Binder (pictured below).
The trial began Monday.
The sentencing phase is scheduled to begin Tuesday and is estimated to last three days. Johnson could face the death penalty.
Quentin Truehill was previously found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death.
A trial for the third co-defendant, Peter Hughes, has not yet been scheduled.
Truehill, Hughes and Johnson were jail escapees from Louisiana. Prosecutors said they broke out of jail and went on a crime spree.
Binder was abducted in Tallahassee and stabbed to death, and his body was dumped along State Road 16 in St. Augustine.
Binder was reported missing on April 8, 2010, by his friends, prompting an investigation into his disappearance. The Tallahassee Police Department said evidence on Binder's phone and financial information led investigators the three fugitives.
Truehill, Hughes and Johnson were apprehended by U.S. Marshals in April 2010.

Real Sociedad's David Moyes banned two games after being sent off
Real Sociedad manager David Moyes has been banned from the touchline for two games, according to reports.

Moyes' was suspended one match for being sent off and one match for his trip into the stands. From The BBC:
"I shouldn't have argued with the referee but I thought both of the decisions were incorrect," Moyes said earlier on Friday.
"But I left the dugout and I went to watch the game in the stands. I am a football supporter as well and I wanted to watch the game with the supporters.
"I've been a supporter all my life. I go to a lot of football games and I thought the supporters were very good."
While in the stands, Moyes, 51, sat down and accepted potato chips from a nearby fan.
Real Sociedad (4-7-7) currently sits in 12th place in La Liga. Moyes in his his first year with the club following his brief stint with Manchester United, who sacked him in April.

An Apple Valley man died last week from injuries suffered in a three-vehicle accident April 6 at McAndrews Road and Garden View Drive.
James Sundboom, 66, died at Hennepin County Medical Center on April 22. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner cited "multiple blunt force injuries" as the cause of death.
According to Apple Valley police, the 2:30 p.m. April 6 accident occurred when a Jeep Liberty traveling westbound on McAndrews Road in Apple Valley collided with a Dodge Caravan after the southbound Caravan failed to stop for a red light. The force of the initial collision then pushed the Caravan into a Ford Windstar.
A helicopter was summoned to the scene for emergency airlift. Seven people in all were transported to Hennepin County Medical Center for an array of injuries.
The Caravan's driver, a 28-year-old Apple Valley woman in the employ of a West St. Paul-based group home for developmentally disabled adults, was transporting four of the group home's clients at the time of the crash, police said. Sundboom was among the passengers in the Caravan.
A memorial service for Sundboom was held April 26 at Morris Nilsen Chapel in Richfield.

Regardless of size, owning or managing a business requires you to make constant decisions—the strongest of which are made by augmenting your experience and intuition with the right information and tools.
That's where business modelling comes in. Modelling helps by mapping the factors that impact your business and helps to see the impact of your decisions on the environment around you. It gives you the necessary information to make the critical, often timely decisions required to drive your company forward.
Read: In brief / Business modelling
A real estate company wanted to evaluate the financial impact of a new high-priced development.
A dynamic model was created to forecast revenue over the next 20 years under different operating and economic conditions. A financial overview of the proposed project was also prepared to be integrated into the model.
The company was able to evaluate investment options from multiple points of view, address uncertainties of the development and ultimately make faster, transparent and more confident decisions.
A small private company needed a strong cash flow model to help them manage available funds in a more efficient way.
A 13-week direct cash flow model was developed to identify possible cash shortfalls. The forecasting plan could be rolled forward on a weekly basis to better manage and improve liquidity.
The company was able to stay onside with respect to debt covenants, maintain financial health, improve their operational efficiency and reduce their overall cost.
A private company with new owners wanted to increase their knowledge of the business and make the management review process more simple.
Weekly and monthly reporting models were developed to show the operational and financial results for each business unit in detail. The model also helped Management map company performance, using trend analysis, KPI tracking and variance analysis against their plan or budget.
Management had a better overall understanding of the business, the confidence to make faster decisions, and the ability to deal with issues quickly and effectively.

things that make a bad movie good
July 08, 2008, 09:28:02 PM »
what is the secret.
I think a lot of it might have to do with total lack of consistency in plot/acting/dialogue between characters...or maybe films that swerve wildly between serious drama and complete farce, yet you get the impression the director thinks he/she's coming up with a consistent piece of work.
I dunno...any thoughts? Is there a kind of formula for bad movies or is it random? goes without saying some movies are so bad they're
, but some are so bad they're
, so what's the distinguishing 'x-factor'.

I don't think it's as simple as one factor in a film. I've noticed that every "B" movie touches a chord in at least some of us, there are those that do so for a large number of people for whatever reason and they become the "GOOD" bad movies. Some, like "The Giant Claw" or "Plan Nine from Outerspace", are just so inept that they're fun to watch over and over, others, while they may have a fairly silly plot, make it easy to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy a good story. I think that "X the Unknown" and "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" fall into this category. Some are just good movies, "The Thing from Another World" is one of these, good story, good acting, great movie, but that's just my opinion. The great thing about a "B" movie is that it will effect each one who views it in a different way. My wife and I just watched "The Phantom Empire" and while I found it to be so mind numbingly stupid it was painful, she laughed through most of it and thought it was quite funny even if it was stupid. There you have it, 1 movie, 2 people, 2 different opinions, that's what makes a horse race.

fair enough, it might all be down to personal discretion. however, me and my 2nd youngest brother both seem to have this kind of telepathy which means we both connect with exactly the same 'bad = good' reasons for liking a certain bad film, which makes me think there must be something more overriding to it, if that makes sense. something that maybe cant be described in words even...I dunno. but I hear what you're saying

I think Dennis has got it....I enjoy differnt "BAD" movies for different reasons.
The BRIDE of the NONSTER is pretty much Z budget drek-but the magnetic Bela Lugosi and his dimwitted servent Tor Johnson make it a joy to watch.
BLOODFREAK,with it's ridiculous paper mache -headed,blood drinking turkey monster,along with the Jesus freak girl,pot smoking bad guys,atrocious acting,and mindless babble narration leaves me in astonished awe that the makers of this film even had the balls to release it for public veiwing. It's all so insanley retarded.
And some I can't even figure out why I like them. The ASTOUNDING SHE MONSTER is one of these. Pretty much a lame,ultra low budget fiasco....but I just love it. Is it the weird,glowing alien girl? The gangster's perpetually drunken moll? The hero talking to his dog? The fact that I may be mentally ill,or a glutton for punishment? I dunno.
The fact that Ed Wood made a BAD movie that a vast majority of veiwers find wonderfully enjoyable (PLAN 9) , attests to his "talentless genuis" for the inanely bizzare. Maybe what a lot of them have in common,at least the enjoyable ones...is they have HEART. Unlike many big-budget crap-which seem to operate on the premise that lotsa expensive FX and a big name star ='GOOD" (ie-ARMEGEDDON).
Some belittle and laugh at these movies. I LOVE these movies. Some make me laugh,others amaze me...but I don't look down at them. Even some of the most excrutiatingly horrendous ones fascinate me. Why? I dunno.

What makes a bad movie good for me is usually when over-the-top random stuff happens that makes little sense, but you don't so much have time to think about how little sense it makes because you're too stunned to notice.
Example: I just reviewed
Hard Rock Zombies
. It's badly shot, badly edited, the audio is terrible, the acting is wretched, and the music would make my mp3 player melt like a Nazi's face in the presence of the Ark. But, whereas these elements would spell certain doom for your basic crappy horror flick, the wild elements being thrown in your face like so much monkey poo leave you too disoriented and scratching your head to hate it. You get a zombie hair metal band who are brought back from the dead (and inexplicably given new outfits in the process...) by a Latin chant; you get a family of incestuous Nazis led by Hitler and his wheelchair-bound, switchblade-wielding werewolf wife; you get a troll eating himself; you get Phil Fondacaro in an eyepath attacking a cow; you get a bimbo flashdancing through the streets at dusk for no reason what-so-ever; you get a small town jail that consists of a barn with bars on the window, straw all over the floor, and stacks of boxes in the holding cell; you get ignorant townsfolk who try to fight the zombies with big paintings of celebrities' heads; you get the title band performing a concert for a recording studio exec, earning themselves a contract, only to return to the grave for, again, no reason what-so-ever; and probably the most disturbing story element: you get the hero of the movie carrying on a wholly inappropriate flirtatious relationship with a 14yr old girl who looks like a Romanian transvestite. All of that insanity comes together to make what would be an otherwise throwaway flick something of a bizarre fascination that needs to be seen at least once, whether you like it or not!

Anubis hit the nail on the head with Hard Rock Zombies. That is one big clusterf*ck of a film. For me its the over the top stuff that tries desperately to distract the viewer that the film plot wise basically...well...sucks. Stuff like excess gore and gratuitous nudity. Then theres the things within a movie that makes you wonder if the director ever gave a crap. Bad editing, using stock footage, repeated scenes, endless time killing dialog and suspense scenes. Theres more that makes a bad movie good but those are the top reasons I can think of off hand.

Brilliant and succinct analyses --
I have no idea if the common thread can be distilled -- if so, I'm not the one to do it. As I said in another thread, things one despises when taken by themselves can still be found in a movie one loves like no other.
Friends of mine who roar with me over the same parts of "Star Oddysey" leave me baffled and uncomfortable over their devotion to "Equinox".
Ultimately, you have to say it's just like jazz -- only your ears can discerne the sounds that make it good or evil.
Objectivity can carry you to a certain point, but even then not everyone will agree with the assessments of, say, "The Golden Turkey Awards" or "Psychotronic Incredibly Strange Films", the first and still classic attempts to codify and define what makes for enjoyable bad cinema. If you haven't read these books, I think they're somewhat essential.

I don't think you can make a good "bad" movie. I think they just happen. I believe everyone that makes a movie is making what they believe to be good, and maybe a few directors have said "Hey that's crap ... print it!"
The best "bad" movies are not that good to start with IMHO, they age like wine and then become good over time. Their charm, hokeyness and simplicity are not immediately admired. Plan 9 for example was garbage when it was made, laughable and today it is admired for it's effort. If a movie is simple, cheap with goofy F/X but the makers of the film have a passion for what they are doing and are really trying to do something good it shows through.
There is a real difference between someone who makes a bad film for a fast buck, and someone that makes a bad film because that the best they can do with what they have. I'd rather watch a good "bad" film made with passion and imagination shot in Super 8, than to see some truly crap movie made just to make a buck shot on 70mm THX super duper film.
Real good "bad" films have passion behind them and it shows. They show not only the devotion of the film maker but also the creative required to stretch a shoe string budget. Mighty Gorga, Kiss Me Quick and so many more are examples of this.
Just my thoughts.

Is "boobies" too obvious an answer?
Seriously, I would distill the things I value in bad movies down to four strands:
* Unintentional comedy. Criswell saying "Future events like these will affect you in the future." A guy scratches his nose with a loaded gun. Someone bumps into a doorway and the entire set shakes. Usually funnier than scripted jokes.
*Unintentional surrealism. This is what Anubis decsribed so well. That "WTF"? moment. Usually more bizarre than deliberate surrealism.
*Pandering to our lowest instincts. Darksider mentioned this with the excessive gore and nudity. Big budget films are usually sneaky about this, but bad movies are unashamed to exploit our lower natures for their cynical profits, and I appreciate their honesty.
*Meta-movie considerations. Trying to figure out what the director was thinking. Was he trying to communicate an idea he thought was important, but failing miserably? Or is he a hack who just doesn't care? The former category (like Ed Wood) usually make for the better bad movies.
"Clive [Barker]'s idea of a great time is to have a nightmare about a woman with three heads and no skin who flays your body with a pitchfork. To give you some idea, NIGHTBREED has over 200 pus monsters, including one guy with a crescent moonhead like the McDonald's commercial and a fat guy with snakes that pop out of his stomach and eat your face off, and these are the GOOD GUYS. These are the people we're supposed to LIKE."-Joe Bob on NIGHTBREED

I agree with Cheeze, I really think an awful lot of these directors didn't think they were making bad movies at all and the deadpan serious approach to some of the more ridiculous B-movie content (Giant Anti-matter buzzard?! WTF?!, jet-propelling flying giant space turtle?! Yeah O.K.?!!!) leads to hilarious viewing results oftentimes at least for a percentage of its audience.

What I like about them is that most of them aren't "message" films like so much of the crap Hollywood turns out these days. The main point of most of these movies, especially Roger Corman's, is to make a little money. This makes their stories less predictable because the director is more interested in what he thinks will sell than what will win him critical acclaim from other people in Hollywood.

For me, the best part is wondering what is going through the mind of the actors or even the director. Are the actors thinking "This is the part that is gonna make my career" or are they thinking, "God, How did I get myself into this?" This is especially true when they are giving a "Deep emotional" monologue.
As the director sets up his camera in the worse possible play for the most boring shot in the world, does he really think he's being creative or does he just don't give damn as long as he gets paid.

Some of my friends from a forum I help moderate are helping me with an article about elements of bad movies. We're just randomly coming up with aspects of bad movies.
We came up with a few:
*Unintentional humor
*Outlandish dialogue
*The ability to do "Samurai Theater" during a movie - Steven Weber demonstrated this on Wings one time, and it was hysterical (for example, he was watching a movie with slaves on a huge boat, and was singing "Row Row Row Your Boat")
*A co-worker and I both saw William Castle's movie "Mr. Sardonicus," and while the grimace Mr. Sardonicus's face froze in was supposed to be terrifying, we both kept imitating it at work, and cracking each other up. Again, a good example of unintentional humor.
It's like people only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad.

Boobies; Chicks in tight tank tops, falling in water, running in slo-mo.
I'll sit through pretty much anything as long as it doesn't contain the following:
Antagonistic, self-righteous characters
Totally irrelevant subplots, thrown in just to kill time
Completely flat, uninteresting main character
A message
Introducing characters in a completely overblown, Rambo-like fashion (Can you say Ghost Ship?)
Rap music
MTV-style editing
The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.

I part with a comb, too. I can't let my curls fall where they want to - at least I've had no luck doing that. I think my hair is too long. If I try that, and have to move curls around, then I break up clumps and hair stringing frizz over clumpy curls.

No specifics on the numbers involved, but it's the initial offer, which probably means it's not the last. There's also an interesting little tidbit at the end of the article: "In addition to Brees' injury, the Chargers have leverage in backup Philip Rivers, who despite persistent rumors involving his being traded, will be a Charger in 2006."

The one thing I couldn't figure out about the Michaels/Tirico/Kornheiser Monday Night Football switcheroo was why ESPN, which just signed Michaels to a long-term deal, would let him leave for NBC. Now we know. NBC traded rights to Ryder Cup matches, Olympics highlights, historic cartoon character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and more to ESPN to get Michaels out of his contract.

Do you spend more time planning a vacation for your family than you do for your retirement?
Let's be realistic here. Planning a vacation is way more enjoyable than planning for your future. Vacations are instant, fun and relaxing. But, often, when it comes to planning a retirement, it's built on uncertainty, fear and confusion. Which, in the end, makes everyone want to avoid planning their future financials.
But, if you plan your retirement right, it doesn't have to be so scary. In fact, planning for your retirement can be just as simple as planning for that exciting vacation that's got you up at night in anticipation for it. With Senior Advisory Group we can help you plan a financial future that will make you and your family excited for your upcoming years.

He is survived by a brother, Phillip Marshall of Danville, Ky., and a sister, Evelyn Kitchen of Richland, Wash., as well as several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Lee and Earl, and two sisters, Georgia and Edna.
Chic was well loved by many for his kind, gentle and honest disposition. Private services were held for him.

U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) today voted to improve pediatric drug and device research, incentivize antibiotic research and help address critical drug shortages --especially common in rural areas like in Kansas.
Roberts voted for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Safety and Innovation Act which included several provisions he supported as a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
"This bill contains provisions to advance medical research specifically for children, to address drug shortages and to expedite development of antibiotics to better fight infectious disease," Roberts said. "It will help address critical deficiencies in our health care delivery system while improving much needed medical research in America."
In addition to reauthorizing the user fee agreements, the bill, S. 3187, includes The Better Pharmaceuticals and Devices for Children Act, cosponsored by Senator Roberts, to permanently extend programs to ensure medications are effective and safe for children by providing an incentive for pharmaceutical companies to invest in pediatric research while providing predictability and accountability for pediatric drug and medical device development.
Since the enactment of these programs, approximately 426 drug labels have been revised with important pediatric information and the number of "off-label" drugs used in children has declined from 80 to 50 percent. There was also a five-fold increase in the number of small-market medical devices designated for pediatric use.
The legislation also includes the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act (GAIN), cosponsored by Sen. Roberts, which boosts development of products to treat serious and life threatening infections. It provides meaningful market incentives and reduces regulatory burdens to encourage development of new antibiotics.
According to FDA, the approval of such drugs has decreased by 70% since the mid-1980s. The development of just one new antibiotic can take upwards of ten years.
The legislation includes requirements for reporting on drug shortages and also provides transparency and accountability to help determine the reason for the particular shortage.
"When I am back in Kansas talking to folks about health care, I often hear about the problem with drug shortages," Roberts said. "As difficult as it is to hear from my hospital administrators and pharmacists in Kansas about the difficulties they are having in getting drugs to fill prescriptions for patients, nothing compares to the patients and families of patients who can't get their drugs; who can't get their treatment; who are already scared about the future; and now can't get their lifesaving medication due to a shortage.

What ceremony was performed for Josh and Ting Li at an Apple Store in February 2010?
In February 2010, Josh and Ting Li joined the ranks of happy couples everywhere who had chosen a nontraditional wedding. But rather than be joined in holy matrimony by an Elvis impersonator at a Vegas drive-thru, the couple was wed by a priest dressed as Apple CEO Steve Jobs at one of the company's Manhattan retail locations. "I used to joke that the Apple Store is my church because I am not religious, and I loved everything Apple," the groom said. "Ting then came up with the idea of having the wedding there."
