The site is anticipated to be more user-friendly and has enhanced search capabilities. The Center for Medicaid and Chip Services also launched www.medicaid.gov, which focuses on policies related to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates Health and Human Service agency transparency, and the Web site serves to demonstrate this through information sharing and program information freely accessible to individuals, states, and other stakeholders. The Web site includes federal policy guidance, ACA implementation status, lists of state-approved and pending waivers, and state-specific data and program information.

Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) and Situation Management
Know what's happening and what to do
If your enterprise's control room is like most, you've got a massive amount of information coming into it. Every system and sensor is sending in status updates, notifications and alerts. How do you make sense of it all? More importantly, how are your security operators handling it?
A physical security information management (PSIM) solution is a good answer. Situator is a better one. That's why it's been ranked the #1 best PSIM solution year after year.
Read about ways to improve your operatinal efficiency Operational Intelligence Center
PSIM – overcoming security information overload
A clear view
Think of physical security information management (PSIM) as a layer that sits on top of all of your other security systems and sensors. Its job is to organize, analyze and manage all of the information they produce. Instead of having tens, maybe even hundreds of systems to manage, PSIM integrates everything into a single, centralized view. It gives you the big picture, along with all the important details, for your security operations.
Situational awareness
Qognify's physical security information management software makes sense of all the data coming into your control room. It brings greater awareness of what is happening and it does so sooner. That means you can respond faster and more effectively. You'll know who to send where, how many of them, and make sure they have the right equipment. It helps you to more efficiently use your resources with:
- Effective collaboration and communication
- Better utilization of existing systems
Learn more about Situational Awareness
Leave the guesswork behind with physical security information management
PSIM also brings consistency to how your security operations handle incidents. Qognify's PSIM system gives your operators guidance on how to handle events and automates some of the tasks involved. And when all is said and done, you have the records, reports and analysis necessary to keep improving.
Situation Management: Going beyond security with PSIM+
Situator is our PSIM software, but is more accurately referred to as a Situation Management solution. Situation Management continues where PSIM leaves off. We've taken the core functionality of PSIM and multiplied it.
While physical security information management (PSIM) makes you aware of what's going on, Situation Management extends the value of that knowledge outside of the security realm. With Situator's capabilities, you can integrate security systems to manage a range of other operational functions.
Beyond security
The raw data available from your PSIM software – video feeds, GIS maps, analytics, system and sensor data, and so much more –can be extremely valuable to departments across your entire enterprise. It can be leveraged to improve numerous operational areas with better response, faster service, and efficiency to reduce costs.
Qognify's Situator system ensures intelligent processes and provides an analytical engine that can transform business operations. It bridges painful operational gaps caused by information overload, as it becomes a central pillar in managing your day-to-day security activities.
Get enhanced operational intelligence
Situator's Operational Intelligence Center module gives you added insight into your entire organization in real time and over time. Monitoring, measuring and analyzing the mass amounts of data Situator is already capturing, the Operational Intelligence Center gives you insight that allows you to be better prepared for events, thus minimizing their impact. Moreover, its customized and aggregated dashboards provide visualizations of your most important business and service KPIs. This provides in-depth views into everything from specific incidents to your overall business.
Invaluable experience
Situator's success is, in large part, due to the depth of experience we have in tailoring each deployment. We make sure our solution meets your organization's needs and addresses your specific business challenges.
Tailored for your enterprise
Every environment is different, with specific needs to address. And those needs are not necessarily confined to your security mandate. We address them by
- Developing a deep needs assessment
- Defining measurable business and operational goals
- Tailoring the design of your Situation Management solution

Decorating Ideas: Color Inspiration
How a single item can inspire the palette for an entire room
Pastel Living Room
In this St. Louis living room, the sofa's silk pillows—a bargain find at T.J. Maxx—determined the soothing palette. The walls are painted a soft mint green, while pops of pastels appear in the window panels, twin ottomans, and Queen Anne chair.
Red Billiard Room
The classic burgundy of a pool table's felt is the inspiration for this billiard room. Fiery reds appear in the grasscloth wall covering, Kilim-covered George Smith club chairs, and the geometric folding screen. The round mirror above the mantel takes its "cue" from the billiard balls.
Fun Floral Living Room
A colorful and luxurious Scalamandré weave on custom club chairs inspires the theme of this Key West home. Matching pillows sit on the sofa; custom fringe on the Robert Allen drapery echoes the floral fabric's soaring notes.
"We really started the whole design with this fabric," designer Todd Richesin says. "The weave is fancy, but the coloration makes it playful and fun."
Blue and White Sitting Area
The homeowner's collection of blue-and-white china influenced the Lee Jofa fabric chosen for Hickory Chair armchairs and a Stark rug in the sitting area of this Indiana home.
"The design of the house really evolved around a classic American look," says designer Suzanne Kasler.
Dramatic Entryway
Designer Brian Connolly saw the dazzling potential in this historical New York City apartment's original parquet flooring. To set off the beautiful wood, he chose a terra-cotta hue to cover the Venetian plaster walls.
See more from this apartment on the next slide.
Color-Spiked Living Room
Connolly also pulled the strongest hues from the homeowner's art collection to punctuate the living space in bright corals and tangerines.
Serene Living Room
Needlepoint chairs plucked from a Paris flea market inspired the soothing color palette throughout this entire Houston home.
See more of this home on the following slide.
Mellow Golds and Browns
The mellow golds and browns from the Parisian chairs continue into the dining room. Window panels are a cooler shade of cream to balance out the rich Fabricut fabric on the chairs.
Seaside Porch
Calming blues and greens are a natural for a home on the shore. This showhouse porch evokes Maine-inspired nostalgia with its sea-glass hues and playful turquoise paisley.
Neutral Den
For a less obvious seaside palette, designer Patrick Lönn used a "dry beach" concept. "I was propelled by the water, sand, and driftwood on the beaches of Long Island, the majestic sailboats with their canvas sails, and Montauk Point's grand lighthouse with its bold horizontal-striped tower," says Lönn.
Art-Inspired Living Room
A collection of contemporary art drives the palette of this Newport Beach home. Golden taupe armchairs repeat colors in a painting of California's Crystal Cove beach hanging above the limestone fireplace.
Flattering Color Scheme
Homeowner and reality TV star Jill Zarin updated her New York City home with a personal touch. Friend and designer Brad Boles decided on a palette that complements Jill's physical features—eyes, hair, and complexion. What resulted was a spacious apartment awash in blue-greens and teals, balanced by shimmery neutrals.
Entryway Wallpaper
The quirky original wallpaper in this New Jersey colonial entryway was the unusual inspiration for the home's hues. Described by the homeowner as "mostly neutral with hints of soft blue and pinky-reds," the tones extend throughout the house.
See more from this home on the following slide.
Bright Bedroom
The soft pink and dusty blues of the entry's wallpaper also appear in the master bedroom.
Serene Suite
Linen drapery from Carleton V set the tone for the rest of this bedroom. Blue-greens, cream, and hints of muted chartreuse also make an appearance in the plush bedding and upholstered headboard.
Subtle and Inspiring Window Treatment
A barely blue French fabric with a circle motif at the windows sets the color scheme in this dining room, where dining-chair upholstery and a grass-cloth wall covering are a smoky blue-gray. A wool-and-silk rug has taupe branches winding on an ivory background.
Turquoise Living Room
An eye-catching elephant mosaic in the living room lends its vibrant hues in unexpected accents throughout the rest of the home.
See more from this home on the following slide.
Turquoise Dining Room
Turquoise pops boldly against warm golden hues in the dining room.
Chartreuse Details
Vintage botanical prints in the dining room were the springboard for this home's color scheme. Smart and sophisticated, chartreuse details are found in the Cowtan & Tout fabric of the dining chairs. Complementing the green hues are gold accents on the china and on the chandelier.

Oak Ridge High School is ranked sixth in Tennessee in U.S. News and World Report magazine's 2013 Best High Schools.
Oak Ridge High School is ranked sixth in Tennessee in U.S. News and World Report magazine's 2013 Best High Schools.
Oak Ridge's Interim School Superintendent Robert Smallridge said in an email that it should be noted that the Top 3 ranked schools are magnet schools and No. 4 and No. 5 are located in probably the highest income county in the state — Williamson County.
The Top 5 ranked schools are, in order, Hume-Fogg Academic High School and Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet at Pearl High School, both located in the Metropolitan Nashville public school system; Merrol Hyde Magnet School, Hendersonville, Sumner County; Brentwood High School and Ravenwood High School, both in Brentwood in Williamson County.
Of the 16 schools, ORHS' student-teacher ratio is the lowest at 14 to 1. ORHS gets lower ratings than the other five schools on college readiness, algebra and English average proficiency, although above the state averages.

Our friend, Susan, is celebrating the first anniversary of her event, YeastSpotting, today. Stop by and see all the glorious breads that have been made for the occasion.
No visit to Cape Cod would be complete without sampling Portuguese sweet bread. It was brought to the cape by the wives of Portuguese fisherman and the eggy, sweet bread quickly became a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Fortunately, the Portuguese established enclaves outside of Provincetown so the bread is also available to those who are not on vacation. Bob and I spent several decades on the east coast and did a lot exploring in ethnic communities of the area. One of our favorites was a stretch of sidewalk that twisted its way through several blocks of the Ironbound section of Newark, New Jersey. The area was an almost imperceptible blend of Italian and Portuguese families who refused to leave the area. Ferry Street was lined with restaurants and bakeries, some of which were truly wonderful. Bob and I would meet for lunch here several times a month. The area had an old world charm about it and I loved to market here. Round loaves of peasant bread with crackly crusts and soft crumb were stacked in bins next to discs of the the sweet bread we so enjoyed. We retired to an area in which the Portuguese population is minuscule, so I had to learn how to make the sweet bread or do without it. I used an old James Beard recipe as my starting point, but it's evolved over the years. My bread now contains lemon and blueberries and the traditional shot put has become a loaf. The loaf is easier to manage when there are only two people in the house. I slice and freeze the bread in slices that can be pulled from the freezer when they're needed. This bread makes wonderful toast and I like to keep some in the freezer for guest breakfasts and afternoon tea. The bread is easy to make and the marriage of lemon and blueberry takes an already lovely sweet bread to another level..
Lemon and Blueberry Sweet Bread
5 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup warm milk
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
4 large eggs, divided use
1 tablespoon salt
1 cups dried sweetened blueberries
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1) Place yeast, 1 teaspoons sugar and warm water in a large bowl. Let sit until foamy. Combine butter, warm milk, reserved cup sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add 3 eggs, lightly beaten. Whisk in salt. Add blueberries. Using your hands, knead in flour, a cup at a time, to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball. Place into a greased bowl, turning to coat surface. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. This is a slow rising bread.
2) Punch down dough and divide into two pieces. If making round loaves shape into balls and place in two greased 9-inch cake pans. If making loaves, shape into loaves and place in two 8-1/2 X 4-1/2 X 2-1/2-inch bread pans. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubles in bulk. Remember this is slow rising bread. While bread is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat reserved egg; glaze loaves with egg. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until bread is a dark, shining color and sounds hollow when rapped. Cool on racks. Yield: 2 loaves.

Man Man Announce Headlining Tour with Performances at Rothbury & 80/35 Festival
Fresh off of two wildly different but perfectly congruous tours with Cursive and Gogol Bordello - Man Man will be kicking off their very own headlining tour July 3rd at the Rothbury Festival. With stops scheduled at the 80/35 Music Fest and a free performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Studio -A-Rama's 28th Anniversary event, the band is taking their brazenly boisterous live shows through the East Coast and Midwest.
The New York Times describes Man Man as a "delirious, scrapheap-eclectic Philadelphia outfit" that is known for a non-stop live set with a revolving door momentum of kaleidoscopic sound . The Aquarian further explains Man Man live as "a vaudevillian clash of sinfully delicate doo wop, virtuosic free jazz, heart-gripping, gut-crunching, intense punk rock energy, free flowing danceable funk, and above all, Eastern European tinged two step polka...love them or hate them, Man Man is a band you have to respect for their live show."
Man Man Tour Dates:
July 3, 2009 - Rothbury Festival - Rothbury, MI July 4, 2009 - 80/35 Music Festival - Des Moines, IA July 5, 2009 - Bottom Lounge - Chicago, IL July 6, 2009 - Off Broadway - St. Louis, MO July 8, 2009 - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum - Cleveland, OH July 9, 2009 - Radio Radio - Indianapolis, ID July 10, 2009 - The Summit - Columbus, OH July 11, 2009 - Forecastle Festival - Louisville, KY July 13, 2009 - Lee's Palace - Toronto, ON July 14, 2009 - The Tralf Music Hall - Buffalo, NY July 15, 2009 - Daniel Street Club - Milford, CT July 16, 2009 - East River Park - New York, NY

I'll be updating this thread throughout the weekend as I see specific players who catch my eye and look the part and play the part of NFL players. I've always done it informally. Now I'll just track one season. I won't go overboard on how many guys stand out. I'll probably try to talk about a star/sure bet type and then a sleeper or 2.
Game - Wazzu at BYU:
1- Future NFL Star Player - Marquess Wilson - WR - WSU - 6'4" 185 lbs. Jr. Wilson had the two most amazingly athletic catches in the game. The first a toe touch TD extended up to about 10 feet in the air that was nullified by an awful hold by #77. Wilson then had about another 50 yard catch and the same thing happened. Even BYU players were giving him five on his second catch and realizing he was losing out on his great play. Wilson runs great routes. He gets open. He finds the ball, even if it isn't thrown all that accurately. He can catch with his hands, and does so very well. This is the guy you want on your team as the go to WR. I'm totally impressed, especially considering who he's playing with. He doesn't have a great supporting cast, but as Leach grows the program, then I think Wilson will put up massive numbers. My prediction is All-American, NFL Pro Bowler talent level.
2- Future NFL Starter - Kyle Van Noy - OLB - BYU - 6'3" 235 - Jr. Van Noy is an intense athlete. Very smart. Has a nose for the ball. Is all over the field. The guy creates havoc. He was instrumental at holding Wazzu to negative rushing yards as we hit the end of the 3rd quarter. Van Noy can rush the passer on delayed blitzes, can line up as an extra lineman, and can drop back and cover RB's and TE's without issue due to his speed. He's not filled out all the way, but already hits hard and causes balls to hit the turf. He creates turnovers. I think he'll be a future NFL player. I think he'd be wise to finish up next season as well though as his body fills out. He kind of reminds me of Bobby Wagner in the build and way they approach the game.
3- My sleep pick of the game, who I will be following all season. Ezekial Ansah - 6'6" 270 lbs. DE from BYU. Is a track runner from Accra Ghana Africa and decided to come out for the football team. Now get this... the guy's size is legit. He's built like Bruce Irvin. He ran a 21.9 200 meter for the BYU track team. AT 270 lbs!!! I watched him closely and was impressed with the moves he had for a guy who was so raw. He understands the swim, the roll, getting off of initial blocks and is able to do so. He was deprived of 2 first quarter sacks on obvious holds (feel free to watch replays on espn and check him out). I saw enough today to say that there is a chance that he continues to improve and becomes an Antonio Gates like player who just learns incredibly fast and naturally becomes a serious player. He is relentless. I saw him cut in on one play, got doubled, spun back out of it and circled around the end and pursued the runner across the field and ran him down and helped make the stop. No way he should have been on that play after getting stonewalled trying to cut between tackle and guard. He chased all night extremely well and was a disruptive force. This kid's size, strength, speed, and quickness with which he has learned the sport has me watching him very closely throughout the season.

This first installment focuses on what schools don't do that gets them into legal trouble and what they can do to keep out of it.
(Read Part 2 here)
If I may take great liberty with a famous Rudyard Kipling quote:
"Teachers are teachers, and students are students, and neither the twain shall meet... outside of the classroom... ever."
Or, at least that was true before the Internet came along with its countless forums, file-sharing sites and social networking platforms that appeal to everyone and, literally, her grandmother.
Not surprisingly, the reasons why many educators celebrate social media—for its accessibility, convenience, and strength as an information and communication tool—are the same reasons that can sweep them up in a swirling cauldron of controversy. Such a widely used, open forum too often places public scrutiny on interpersonal exchanges—especially when they occur between a minor and an adult.
And when you mix in truly preventable situations that arise from teachers digitally engaging with students or implementing new media curriculum that requires their pupils participate in online activities... well, that's a tangled and litigiously embroiled ball of yarn you have there.
Looking at it legally
The legal community warns that educators who engage in off-campus digital communication with students, via the Web or wireless platform, make themselves and schools highly vulnerable to civil lawsuits.
For instance, a teacher may discover that his or her student "friend" on Facebook is engaged in an illegal activity, like underage drinking. Many questions follow: Is the teacher obligated to report the activity? Can an angry parent sue because the teacher didn't report the incident and intervene? Are the teacher and school liable if the incident occurred off campus? The answers, of course, fluctuate based on a number of variables affecting each case.
Interestingly, there are some educators who naively ignore the risks in developing online friendships. Their arguments range from "I should meet my students where they are" to "this is an extra line of support that makes pupils feel safe."
But they're failing to weigh the consequences that can evolve from sharing and accessing private data through sites like Facebook, YouTube, and personal blogs.
Only to further complicate the situation, if this off-campus social networking takes a turn for the worse, schools are rarely, if ever, prepared to handle the situation. And enough lawsuits have cropped up now that administrators can no longer say, "It didn't happen on schools grounds, so it's not our problem."
Then there's the issue of on-campus social media usage. When Departments of Education, administrators, and teachers haven't created the appropriate technology policies and curriculum around online activity, lawsuits are bound to happen. Even if students are participating in a cyber project closely supervised by their teacher, incidents still occur when technology standards haven't been adopted by the instructor and passed down.
California-based Attorney Penny Glover, who works with schools to keep policies and practices in line with current laws and changing technologies, says, "When it comes to online communications, it seems that many schools are operating under the assumption that rules and expectations about certain online behaviors are already ingrained in our students' minds and that they do not need to be stated directly."
Although our young digital natives have never known a world without the Internet, Glover is "...not convinced, however, that all students fully understand the basic rules and expectations associated with online communication when they continue to post things online like, 'That math test was bad. I'm going to kill my math teacher.'"
Preventative measures
Bills and laws are in a constant state of flux, trying to keep up with the emergence of school-based technology issues. In the meantime, schools should take steps to own the cyber incident process-from policy creation to incident follow up—protecting themselves while federal and state governments get a handle on assigning legal responsibility.
It all comes down to administrators and educators making it a priority to find out where their schools lie on the digital citizenship spectrum. Through self-assessment, they can clearly recognize the areas that need development—detection, prevention, incident management and response—and then create policies and procedures that keep everyone safe and litigious risk down.
Most importantly, schools need to preemptively prepare themselves for all cyber incidents, whether they're on campus or off. (Something as seemingly simple as knowing the right investigative questions to ask can successfully protect the school from liability.) The amount of time, money and energy spent on a resolution is considerably lessened when systems are set in place to manage events before they occur.
Join me for the second installment of this three-part series as I explore social media in the classroom—is it teacher's pet or troublemaker?

On Lawless & Shia's beef with the boys
Lawless opens next week. I saw it in Cannes. This is when I started summer crushing on Tom Hardy mostly for his relationship with Jessica Chastain in the film. For everyone else Lawless is an old fashioned dick fight, all honour and testosterone. Somehow I came out of there having watched a modern love story set in prohibition times. She navigates that entire relationship and the way he responds to it is so f-cking sexy even though his costume is basically a grandmother's cardigan.
Jessica was not at the LA premiere last night. She's in New York working on The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby and Tom wasn't around because he's in Africa for Mad Max. Here are Shia LaBeouf and Guy Pearce representing on the red carpet. Guy's the villain in the movie. Maybe a little too over the top with the campiness but very effective nonetheless. As you can see, Shia had his girlfriend Carolyn Pho with him. A significant detail because a few days ago they were photographed tearfully arguing in public. Click here to see the pictures. Haven't we all been there? And the relief afterward, remember?
Anyway, it was while shooting Lawless that Shia and Tom got into a fight which, I know, I know, is an old story but it's a really good one and besides, I feel like no one remembers it and you should because it is FUNNY.
It all came out of Shia's now notorious Details interview last year and if you've not read it, you should (click here) because he has no filter, none, and the sh-t that comes out of his mouth, well, no other star of his stature is quite as...revelatory. During that interview, Shia revealed that he and Hardy went at each other on set one day and suggested in conclusion that as a result of the ass-kicking he threw down, "(Hardy) never did that roughhouse stuff with me again".
But it gets better.
So then as a follow-up, after Shia puts out the story, Hardy is then asked about it when he's promoting Warrior. Just... let me break it down so we're clear: Tom Hardy, while promoting WARRIOR, is asked about the time Shia LaBeouf allegedly whooped his ass. Here's how that went down according to Den Of Geek:
"I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually," Hardy said. "In Wettest County, apparently."
At this point, that the atmosphere in the room seemed rather unusual, as though no one involved quite knew whether Hardy was being serious or not. His use of the word 'apparently' would also suggest that he was winding us up. Nevertheless, Hardy persisted with his version of what happened.
"[It was] behind the scenes," he said, before being almost drowned out by incredulous laughter, both from me and my fellow hacks, and the row of publicists sitting a short distance behind us. "No, he did," Hardy continued. "He knocked me out sparko. Out cold. He's a bad, bad boy. He is. He's quite intimidating as well. He's a scary dude."
When someone understandably asked Hardy how the fight started, Hardy was less clear.
"He just attacked me," Hardy said, provoking more laughter. "He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan, and er, went down. I woke up in Pnut's arms."
To clarify, Pnut (pronounced Peanut) is Hardy's personal trainer. The actor continued, "He was concerned for me. I was like, 'What was that? It was lightning fast.'" And he said, 'That was Shia.' I said, 'F-ckin' hell. Can we go home now?' 'No, we've still got three weeks to finish.'"
Come on. This is the best, isn't it?
And there's more. Shia also recounted this story in Details when discussing how he's having a hard time acclimating to how rich he is now:
Having grown up poor, LaBeouf says he feels "real shame" about the wealth he's acquired. He has no assistant, no driver. He bought his house, in a low-key part of town, for about $1 million. LaBeouf remembers his Wettest County costars (Jason) Clarke and (Tom) Hardy discussing sports cars. "They're talking about Ferraris and sh-t, like it's a cool car. If Clarke pulled up in a Ferrari right now, my idea wouldn't be, 'What a cool f-cking guy!' It would be, 'Look at this clown.' I think the fact that I despise that stuff keeps me safe," he adds with a smile. "I hang on to my dirt. I like my dirt."
If for no other reason, love him for this. Love him for what he gives us. Please never let him change.
And how are all these boys now, after all that beefing? Totally fine. They got on fine in Cannes. There is no animosity, no resentment, nothing. I guess that's how you do it. Punch each other a few times and all the anger goes away.

Brazil nightclub owner blames country for fire
SANTA MARIA, Brazil (AP) — The owner of a nightclub in southern Brazil where more than 230 people died in a fire last weekend deflected blame to "the whole country," as well as to architects and inspectors charged with making sure the building was safe, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Attorney Jader Marques said his client, Elissandro Spohr, "regretted having ever been born" because of his grief over the fire, but still blamed Sunday's tragedy on "a succession of errors made by the whole country."
Police investigating the blaze have said it likely started when a country music band performing at the Kiss nightclub in the college town of Santa Maria lit a flare, which ignited flammable soundproofing foam on the ceiling. That initial error was compounded by the near-total lack of emergency infrastructure such as a fire alarms or sprinkler systems, police have said. The club also had only one working door and a faulty fire extinguisher.
Marques insisted in an interview with The Associated Press that "my client's responsibility is having trusted too much in the inspectors and in those responsible for the construction."
"Hindsight is 20-20," he said, stressing that public officials had signed off on the club.
The number of injured jumped to 143 Wednesday after 22 people were admitted to hospitals with respiratory problems after having escaped the club apparently unharmed. Brazil Health Minister Alexandre Padilha has urged the fire's survivors to remain alert for any symptoms of so-called "chemical pneumonia," which can take up to three days to develop following exposure to toxic fumes and smoke.
The blaze also claimed another life late Tuesday, raising the death toll to 235, as a 25-year-old man with burns covering 70 percent of his body succumbed to his wounds. The man's older brother was also killed in the fire and buried on Sunday. Their grieving mother, Eliane Goncalves, had pinned her hopes on her younger son making a recovery.
"When they went out at night, I blessed them," Goncalves said. "I asked myself how I would be able to sleep with both of my boys out. But what could I do, follow them? God bless them."
On Wednesday, a young tagger sprayed oversized white graffiti reading "justice for all" on the facade of the club as onlookers cheered and police watched from below, Brazilian media reported. He then escaped over neighboring roofs, the reports said.
Earlier this week, police detained Spohr, the club's other co-owner and two musicians who were playing in the club when the fire broke out, and are holding them for five days as part of the investigation. Spohr is recovering from a respiratory infection and is said to be suffering from depression in police custody at a hospital in a nearby town.
Lilian Caus, one of the officers watching over Spohr, said he had made a suicidal gesture, removing a shower hose and tying it to a bathroom window Tuesday.
"By the way it was tied it looked like he wanted to use it to hang himself by the neck, but he didn't even use it," Caus said. "There seems to have been the intention to use it."
Marques denied reports that overcrowding helped cause Sunday's tragedy, insisting there were only 600 to 700 people in the club at any one time. Capacity for the 615-square-meter (6,650-square-foot) nightspot stood at less than 700, though the band's guitarist told media that the space was packed with an estimated 1,200 to 1,300 people. Police have given the same estimate.
Marques insisted that any higher tallies of people at the club that night were due to club-goers cycling in and out.
Authorities have said that of the 143 people still hospitalized, more than 70 are still in life-threateningly critical states.
The tragedy raised questions about the reliability of safety regulations in a nation set to host the World Cup and Olympic Games. Documents obtained by The Associated Press, including past building and fire safety plan permits issued to the club, showed that the single exit, the foam insulation and other contributors to the tragedy didn't violate laws.
"Do I agree with the fact that there was only one exit? No," said Maj. Gerson Pereira, an inspector with the local fire department. "Do I agree that the roof was covered with flammable material? No, I don't. I would have liked to shut down this place, but then the firefighters could be sued" because no law had been broken.
The same documents show that other regulations were broken, including irregularities in the fire safety inspection of the club, as well as pyrotechnics used by the band that police say should not have been set off indoors. Police inspectors say any of the violations was reason enough to shut the club down.
One document shows the club had already been labeled by fire officials a "medium" risk for a fire. By state law, that designation requires the club undergo annual inspections, but records show that the last inspection took place in August 2011.
Survivors have said the club's fire extinguishers failed to work in early attempts to battle the blaze. Under state law, an extinguisher must have a receipt showing that it had been independently inspected within a year.
"It's not that this club was working to come within this or that law — the place should have never been open in the first place," Arigony said. "This is a problem that is seen across Brazil, these laws. I can only hope this tragedy brings about change."
Jaime Moncada, a U.S.-based fire-safety consultant with nearly three decades experience in Latin America including large projects in Brazil, said he was not surprised that one exit was permissible under local law.
"For an American audience, it is crazy to think that a place would have only one exit," he said.
In Brazil, he added, that would be the norm.
Amid the shock of what was the world's deadliest nightclub fire in a decade, changes in Brazil seemed on the horizon.
In Brasilia, the nation's capital, lawmakers in the lower house worked on a proposal that would require federal safety minimum standards across Brazil. Now states individually create such laws. The newspaper O Globo reported on its website that the mayor's office in Santa Maria ordered all nightclubs closed for 30 days while inspections are carried out.
Elsewhere, the government of the country's biggest city, Sao Paulo, set to host the opening match of the 2014 World Cup, promised tougher security regulations for nightclubs.
The fire even sparked action in the Central American country of Nicaragua, which is banning the use of fireworks or other incendiary devices in nightclubs and other enclosed spaces, police spokesman Francisco Diaz said Wednesday.
He said President Daniel Ortega had issued the total ban on flares, fireworks and other such devices and ordered police to strictly enforce it.
He said police would also be checking all nightclubs, bars and other entertainment venues to make sure they comply with regulations requiring at least one emergency exit, separate from the main entrance, and a government-approved emergency plan. He said venues would have 45 days to comply.
Associated Press writers Bradley Brooks and Marco Sibaja in Santa Maria, Jenny Barchfield in Rio de Janeiro, Stan Lehman in Sao Paulo, Luis Manuel Galeano in Managua, Nicaragua, and Justin Pritchard in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

text: Thursday, August 25, 2011 APTA Exhibits at 2011 NCSL Annual Conference APTA was again a leading exhibitor at the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Annual Conference, held August 8-11, at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. APTA's participation in the sixth annual NCSL "Walk for Wellness" and the association's information booth were prominent features at this year's event. In addition, more than 300 attendees took the PT Challenge at the association's exhibit booth. Participants who correctly answered questions on direct access, protection for the term "physical therapy," and the detrimental effect of high patient copays for physical therapist services were entered in a drawing for a Kindle or an iPod shuffle. Both activities drew numerous state lawmakers to association's booth where APTA State Affairs staff and volunteers from the Texas Chapter educated them about direct access to physical therapist services, referral for profit (POPTS), infringement concerns, reimbursement challenges, and other issues important to the physical therapy profession at the state level. Read more and view photos at this link. Comments Can you please tell me when and where the 2012 annual conference will be held? I am not sure if you know this information yet but I wanted to find out. Thank you! Posted by Lea on 8/26/2011 12:05 PM According to NCSL's Web site, the 2012 Legislative Summit will be held August 6-9 in Chicago. Posted by News Now on 8/26/2011 1:59 PM

Here are my picks for Oscar night: Nobody named Oscar will actually win anything.
So let's see what the internets are yapping about:
You can tell that something's brewing when creators start to go a bit public with payment problems at publishers. Bleeding Cool reported on two this week.
Cartoonist Lew Stringer finds there's a lot to like about the new one-shot The Clock Strikes, a noirish adventure set in the 1930s that revives an old comic book character.
Longbox Graveyard tackles the news. Sure, it's news from blogger Paul O'Connor, but it's all good news.
Novelist and comic book writer Victor Gischler (The Deputy) hopes you'll pick up his latest: the X-Men: FF hardcover.

It's the weekend time again and since we're between the end of football season and baseball season, at least in the U.S., it must be comic book season. Let's take a look.
Author Joe Konrath is a very smart man on the subjects of book publishing, Amazon, and the future of the written word business. He makes a great case in a post called Amazon Will Destroy You.
Tom McLean at Bags And Boards looks at both sides of the Before Watchmen argument and comes up with some smart thoughts worthy of attention.
J. M. DeMatteis runs a very nice appreciation of his sometime collaborator Mike Ploog.
Cartoonist Lew Stringer uncovers an old Dave Gibbons strip you might not be familiar with.
This is an old link, but it's a nice profile of gag cartoonist Bob Vojtko.

Cartoon Network, the home of Adventure Time, Ben 10, and Scooby Doo, is looking for some helping for the Spring.
It's all part of their Spring 2012 Intern Program. It's 12 weeks, 15-20 hours per week. No money, and course credit is optional (it helps if you're somehow majoring in Animation or a related field).
You'll be doing all the usual (and occasionally horrible) intern tasks, but you'll be jumping into the deep end of the animation pool. Cartoon Network's Internship Program "exposes students to a variety of duties and provides valuable knowledge of the industry. Students may have the opportunity to learn and observe a number of functions within the production department. They will be exposed to all aspects of a traditionally animated series.

Cartoon Voiceovers: Be The Joker
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Television,
Do you have what it takes to be the voice of Batman? Or are you more Twilight Sparkle?
Either way, if you've ever asked yourself, "How can I break into the wonderful world of voice-acting?" there's a class that might have your answer.
My pal, actress and voice director, Stevie Vallance has been doing cartoon voices for some time. We just finished working together on a show that's coming up later this year on Nicktoons.
It was a real treat to watch her in the booth, bringing out the best performance from our actors and helping them breathe life into the words on the page.
When she's not doing that, Stevie runs a series of voice-over workshops called Tooned In! Animation Voice-over Acting Workshops.

It's not just the weekend, it's a long holiday weekend into a whole new year. Have a happy one with a few links to read.
Beau Smith writes a wonderful tribute to his friend and frequent collaborator, Eduardo Barreto.
If you're tracking the future of digital comics, Appy Entertainment's Paul O'Connor has an interview with the guy behind Operation Ajax, Daniel Burwen.
The writer Lance Mannion goes to see Tintin. There have been lots of reviews over the internets already, but I'm partial to this one. "In fact, The Adventures of Tintin [is] as good an Indiana Jones movie as Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. In parts, it's as thrilling and new as Raiders of the Lost Ark. Throughout, it's much better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and a reminder that as great as the young Harrison Ford was what made the movies was the spirit of adventure that infused them, and that spirit was a boy's (and girl's) spirit."

If you can draw comics, the theory goes, you can also be a storyboard artist.
In fact, many comic book artists also do double-duty as storyboard guys. Stephen DeStefano is one. Keith Giffen is another.
If you have storyboard experience, then Nickelodeon is looking for you.
They need a storyboard artist on their hit show: T.U.F.F. Puppy, created by Butch Hartman.

Steven Moffat's Sherlock Holmes: England Wins
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Television,
Like many people, I tuned into the BBC's first series of new Sherlock Holmes adventures - Sherlock - out of curiosity.
Steven Moffat (Doctor Who; Coupling) and Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen; Poirot; Doctor Who) were involved and anything they do is on my "Check This Out" list.
I don't have a great love for the classic Sherlock Holmes of Arthur Conan Doyle - I grew up watching Basil Rathbone's Holmes fight Nazis so everything's fair game with me.
So I watched all three episodes of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, and loved them all. Brilliantly told, well-acted, modernized, and yet in keeping the parts of Holmes that I enjoy, and dropping in knowing nods to the Doyle stories.

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Reviews, Television, Independent,
Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, power outages. It's been a wild couple of climate change-enhanced weeks. Let's play catch-up across the internets:
Cullen Bunn is having a career year and let's hope it's the first of many. The creator of The Sixth Gun got his Oni Press series, The Damned, picked up by Showtime for a series. He's already gotten The Sixth Gun optioned to SyFy for a series. If they both make it to air, Bunn will have two more shows on the air than DC Comics.
Apes: Rich Handley reviews the fourth issue of Darryl Gregory and Carlos Magno's Planet Of The Apes, from Boom! "BOOM!'s Apes run stands on a pinnacle, one sure to end badly for humanity." But all good for readers and fans.
Republicans: My pal Doug Molitor from Funny Or Die looks at 12 Republican super-heroes. My favorite? The Human Torturer!
Jack: Man, that's a lot of nice Jack Davis work that Michael Sporn posted. I really love those western covers, too.

Comic Con International 2011: My Con Report
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Collecting, Conventions, Editorials, Movies, Television, DC Comics, Image Comics,
So I'm back from the latest Comic Con extravaganza in San Diego. Unlike other folks that gather up news and special announcements, I gather up a few odds and ends.
Here's my Comic Con report for 2011 (Spoiler Alert: names will be dropped):
Planet of the Apes – When Boom!'s marketing director Chip Mosher asks, I answer! I was on the Boom! Planet of the Apes panel as a guest and had a great time with the engaged crowd. Editor Ian Brill, writer Daryl Gregory and myself talked about the movies, the comics, the creators and time travel. Life is rarely that good.
Aaron Lopresti – Dinner with the artist on the upcoming Justice League International series from DC. We spent it art-spotting with licensed merchandise. Pal Dave Olbrich bought along a 1970s-era Master of Kung Fu drinking glass and it was decided that it was a Gil Kane figure with a face reworked by Romita, Sr.
Marineman – I had a great chat with Ian Churchill, creator of Marineman, the Image Comics title that's also an Eisner-winner. I plopped down $15 for the collected 6 issues. I'm halfway through and it's money well-spent.
Portfolio Review – Dropped in on Space Goat's Dave Olbrich (him again) as he flipped through portfolios offering advance and gentle criticism. Lots of talented folks this year.
