Down the rabbit holeJuly 27,2014In the middle of fretting about my upcoming cataract surgery I am too young for this, I hope the surgeon knows what hes doing, I hope that when its over Ill see that all this worrying was unnecessary I did something that seemed straightforward and easy: went to the drug store to fill the surgeons prescriptions for eye drops.
Cant do it, the pharmacist said. He explained that two of the drops were not included in the formulary, the list of medications covered by the company that manages prescriptions for my Blue Cross HMO. Together, these two medications would cost about $350. The pharmacist offered to check whether the surgeon might want either to prescribe an alternative a generic or a different brand-name drug included in the formulary or to submit a request for a formulary exception.
I went home without my eye drops, mildly astonished that the pharmacist and the doctors office were going to have to engage in these follow-up actions, which seemed like a waste of their time.
The next day I called my doctors office and left a message. No one called back. Two days later, I went back to the pharmacy, prepared to pay for the eye drops out of pocket, using the drug manufacturers discount cards given to me by the doctors office. But the pharmacist pointed out that though the large print (You pay as little as $35 and well pay up to $160) seemed to promise an overall price reduction, according to the small print the cards covered two circumstances neither of which applied to me. If Id had no insurance, the cards would have reduced my cost drastically. If my insurance had covered these drugs, the cards could have made a relatively minor reduction in my co-pay. But since I was insured by a company that didnt cover these drugs, the cards werent going to help me.
Curious by now about this whole drug company/insurance landscape, I called Blue Cross to see whether its formulary included any comparable eye drops. When I mentioned the first drug, Blue Cross gave me a list of three covered alternatives. When I named the second drug, it came up with the same list. Did this mean that my doctor had prescribed two identical, or redundant, medicines? Or was the Blue Cross formulary missing something important? I got off the phone and looked up the two medicines my doctor had prescribed. The first was an anti-inflammatory steroid; the second was a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drop designed to and this sounded pretty important to me reduce pain.
The pharmacist called the doctors office, and the doctors office called me to come pick up samples of the eye drops. So I drove 40 minutes to the office and finally, four days after my first attempt to fill the prescriptions, I had the medicines in hand.
As I drove home, I wondered how many other people all over the country might be scurrying around, or being put on hold, or filling in paperwork, or trying and failing to understand some bit of fine print, having to do with prescriptions. The pharmacists checking with the doctors to make sure the doctors really meant it when they specified these drops or those pills; the doctors filling in paperwork or making phone calls to insurance companies to say that yes, they really did mean these drops or those pills; the patients running around if they are healthy enough to be mobile to turn in cards or repeatedly visit drug stores or travel to pick up samples, at a time when they are already worried about whatever condition or procedure they need the medicine for.
The drug companies and insurance companies are fighting about money, a clash of titans that is happening over and over again, above the heads of the people patients and doctors affected by it. The drug companies lunge with high-priced patent medicines; the insurers parry by listing generics and covered alternatives. The drug companies merge, and the price of generics goes up. The insurance companies revise their formularies and co-pay tiers. The drug companies issue coupons. The coupons may not work. The country doesnt seem willing to look at single-payer insurance in which the government is able to bargain with the drug companies. The patient doesnt need eye surgery to see that something is wrong with this picture.

Oxford Instruments: Tuning material properties with ALD
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has long been used to produce ultra thin films, but the atomic-level control is of increasing interest for its ability to also tune the material properties of films during deposition. Plasma-Enhanced ALD can be further enhanced by applying a bias voltage to the substrate. This new technology enables precise tailoring of properties from stress to crystal phase during deposition. In addition to mainstream integrated circuits, this has applications in MEMS, LEDs and power semiconductors.
Oxford Instruments is offering an upgrade option for its ALD equipment to apply a bias voltage to the substrate, adding further control of the energy at the wafer surface in order to tune the properties of the deposited film. While scaling to smaller features has been the main driver of demand for ALD to date, the developers of the coming generation of More-than-Moore products – from MEMS, to power semiconductors, to LEDs and other photonics – are increasingly looking to the process' atomic control of deposition to design optimized materials for their particular applications.
Substrate biasing has long been used with plasma-assisted CVD and PVD, but it is now starting to be explored in ALD with intriguing work by researchers at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. The team led by Prof.dr.ir. Erwin Kessels (W.M.M. Kessels) recently demonstrated the ability to control density, crystallinity and residual stress during the atomic layer deposition of numerous films.
The Eindhoven research group reports1 that applying a negative average voltage of up to -200V to the substrate stage – by adding an RF power supply – increased the energy of the ions at the substrate surface up to 250eV during an O2 plasma exposure. This control of the ion energy allows precise control of material properties of the deposited film, but exactly what properties can be controlled varies from material to material. Researchers at Eindhoven have shown that applying substrate bias during atomic layer deposition of TiO2 moves the crystalline phase of the film from anatase to rutile, creating as-deposited rutile TiO2 and bringing the additional benefits of a higher dielectric constant [Figure 1]. "Through substrate biasing you can skip the post-deposition annealing step traditionally used to achieve the rutile phase and therefore lower the thermal budget of the sample," explains Annika Peter, Oxford's lead ALD technologist. Varying the ion energy during deposition of Al2O3 changes the residual stress from tensile to compressive [Figure 2] which has strong implications in MEMS devices, where the fine control of stress on free-standing structures, such as cantilevers, is integral to device performance. Higher bias voltages can also create higher density films in the case of Co3O4.
Oxford Instruments' technologists expect that control of the ion energy will enable the design of films with other optimized characteristics, or with simpler process requirements. "This is very new – a new dial to very easily tune the physical properties of specific materials," notes Robert Gunn, Plasma Technology Business Group Manager. "We now need to explore the physics behind the material interactions to see what applications this would be relevant to."
More-than-Moore markets turn to ALD for optimizing material properties
ALD technology is also drawing interest from the MEMS sector for its potential to optimize material properties for MEMS structures. ALD offers uniform coverage of high aspect ratio features and the potential for optimizing anti-stiction or passivation coatings, but could also enable the design of materials with specific mechanical properties for particular structures. "As MEMS get smaller and more complex, ALD gets more interesting to do the things that PECVD can't do," says Gunn.
Demand for ALD is also coming from researchers working on the deposition of the 2D and 1D nanomaterials under consideration for future IC applications, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes and nanowires. Anderson says it's a likely option for growing the single-atomic-layer 2D materials like molybdenum disulfide and boron nitride that likely will be layered with graphene to make electronic devices. ALD also looks to be a strong candidate for the creation of contacts with 1D structures such as carbon nanotubes and nanowires, problematic interfaces where high resistance typically hinders the transfer of electrons between these structures and the larger 3D surrounding features. Researchers from Eindhoven have demonstrated ALD platinum contacts on CNT transistors made by a thin e-beam seeding film and a tuned platinum ALD process to exploit the long nucleation delay on some surfaces and promote selective growth.2

Illness Through Advertising
"If a conscious consumer were to set about repairing all
such disorders by applications of the specified products, he would not
only have time for nothing else, but would probably require two assistants--one
to buy the remedies and one to help him take them."
Advertising created so many fake diseases in the 1930s that the trade magazine Printers' Ink began a "disease watch"--publishing lists of the latest coinages as they appeared in ads. By 1936, the list had nearly reached 200 and was still climbing. Here are a few examples, taken from the magazine.

Ten content marketing trends you need to know for 2014
Content marketing topped the digital priority list in 2013, according to Econsultancy's annual survey. Yet just 64 per cent of marketers agree that content marketing is set to "become its own discipline", while only 38 per cent of companies have a defined content marketing strategy in place. Just 34 per cent have dedicated budgets to it and only 46 per cent have dedicated staff for it, judging by the results of the Econsultancy/Outbrain Content Marketing Survey 2013.
In many cases, people cannot even agree what they mean by 'content marketing'. There is a lot of excitement about it but little clarity as to what it means as a discipline and how it is likely to impact marketing planning, budgeting, resourcing and organisational structures and processes.
So what do you need to know about content marketing in 2014? Here are ten trends that I expect to be important for brands in the year ahead.
1. Authority. Content marketing cannot work if it is broad and shallow. Brands will need to be very clear about where they can be authoritative and focus on that. This relates strongly to search engine optimisation (SEO) too, where attributes like AuthorRank – where your reputation as a content creator can affect the ranking of search results – are becoming more important.
2. Influence. This goes hand in hand with authority. Influencers will be increasingly important in 2014, with their niche but highly valuable personal networks. This is PR's domain.
3. Opinions. Google is getting very good at providing users with an interface that means they do not need to click away from Google. This is particularly true for anything factual. Content will need to be increasingly unique, or have an opinion, for customers to have a reason to visit you.
4. Diligence. In the sense of a customer's due diligence in any buying decision. We know that customers are using multiple channels to research and purchase goods and services. This year will see further investment in content that supports different types of customer at different stages of the buying process.
5. Agility. Most content marketing efforts have been focused on good planning and production of content. This provides the necessary backbone for content marketing but in 2014 we will see brands aim to be more fluid, more reactive and more agile around its use, particularly in social media.
6. Curation. Content curation and aggregation will grow in 2014. In part, this is because customers increasingly value editorial filtering but also because it is too expensive to rely solely on the creation of new content in keeping up a high enough volume and flow of content.
7. Responsive. There will be an ongoing push to make all digital assets, including all forms of content, responsive, so they deliver the optimal experience on the device being used. This is being driven largely by mobile devices. There is little point investing in content if, say, 40 per cent of those who come across it cannot properly experience it.
8. Video. More than 40 per cent of YouTube views are on mobile devices. So for a start, video will become more responsive over 2014 as described in the previous point. But we will see continued investment in video generally as a content format. 2014 will also see more long-form video content.
9. Distribution. We have perhaps focused too much on the 'content' and too little on the 'marketing' in content marketing. In 2014 there will be more focus on content's distribution, including, for example, internationalisation, translation of content, geographic scheduling, such as Tweets choreographed by time zone.
10. Disillusion. It seems inevitable that following the excitement, and spend, of 2013 around content marketing, we will see somewhat of a backlash. Marketers may fall into the 'trough of disillusionment' in 2014 as they agonise over measurement and return on investment.
Readers' comments (5)
Thanks for sharing your predictions Ashley! I agree with your need for emphasis on both Distribution and Diligence. However, what are your thoughts on the new content marketing partnerships we're seeing in paid-media? This magazine may also have a view I'm guessing
This is a useful steer Ashley,
I agree that many professional services firms waste a great deal of time, money and effort on blog posts and tweets that lack clear objectives, thought pieces and articles that aren't worth reading, and video that fails to communicate well.
Your point about distribution is critical is the success of any content strategy - having first identified the right audience.
I think the heart of content marketing is confidence. It's confidence in Google: that they will continually refine their search results, to bring to the top the people who are the best at what they do. If you are the best and they haven't figured it out yet, then you can be confident that it's their problem. All you need to do is give Google time to catch up.
I've written a bit more about the approach we take here:
love to know your thoughts on it.
On paid content placements... I think that is OK as long as it is a) clear to the reader that the content is sponsored and b) the content itself is good.
It is certainly true that a lot of SEO efforts these days are about content/marketing. And I think you are right that there is little point trying to game Google - much better to focus on great content and great customer experience and trust that Google will then give you the rankings you deserve.
Really helpful article. I accept the video content marketing. Because an image attracts 1000 customers, then think on the video....!! really tremendous ...

Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar Restaurant Review: Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar offers an eclectic mix of global cuisine in a chic, ultra-modern setting. At lunch, diners can pair the Cape Cod lobster bisque with a New Orleans-style shrimp po' boy. Dinnertime brings an Australian lamb chop with rosemary garlic jus lié, French-inspired Boursin-stuffed filet with Yukon Gold potato and red wine bordelaise, and the Italian-influenced veal scaloppine with Parmigiano Reggiano orzo. Consider ordering a "flight" of three small plates in any of several categories, such as seafood. Flight's wine list features a large selection of vino by the bottle, but diners would be remiss if they didn't try one of the namesake wine flights: "The Red Carpet" includes the restaurant's finest reds, while "The Bailout" highlights a few wines that won't break the budget. Desserts extend the theme: try the "Cupcake Flight" (strawberry, s'more and red velvet) or the "Fondue Flight" (fruit, cake and cookies served with dipping sauces of chocolate, sherry-custard and caramel).

The Scottish saxophonist Bobby Wellins and English pianist-composer Kate Williams sound made for each other in this collection of standard songs and originals, recorded in rehearsal and in concert at Halifax's Dean Clough arts centre last year. It is, of course, an intimate exploration of a familiar rulebook between a slow-burn saxist with leanings toward the 1950s cool school, and a quietly elegant Bill Evans-inflected pianist. But it's also about the best qualities of jazz, irrespective of style or fashion – about sharing, spontaneity, communication and surprise. Wellins's most famous recorded performance was his solo on Starless and Bible Black for Stan Tracey's Under Milk Wood suite. That unique and haunting tone – gruff yet hopeful – surfaces all over this set, from the first sparing sax phrases and coaxing piano figures of the title track. The standard While We Were Young is solemnly delicate, with Williams's classically influenced encouragement allowing Wellins to let purring, wide-spaced sounds just hang in the air. The original Minor Pennies is sinewy and boppish, the pianist's dreamy unaccompanied reverie What If has a Bill Evans fragility, and Antonio Carlos Jobim's If You Never Come to Me Again finds Wellins in his yearning, confiding element. It's an unpretentiously delightful encounter.

Every year, the annual invasion of Hollywood to Park City leaves behind memories of red-carpet moments and eye-popping scenes that make us forget the exhausting schedule, the January weather, and the endless lines. Here's a collection of memories from the 2013 version of the festival.
Only at Sundance moments
When • Pre-festival interview on Jan. 13
Where • Interview conducted in Tribune newsroom
What happened • Neil Drumming was talking about his Slamdance film "Big Words." "I've been to Park City several times, initially as a journalist covering the festivals for Entertainment Weekly and later simply as a fan," he said. "I have fond memories of popping Airbornes, chugging a Red Bull and trying to squeeze six movies into one day. I remember seeing 'Half Nelson,' being completely blown away and then having the pleasure of interviewing Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, two brilliant filmmakers. I remember running into Lee Daniels randomly on Main Street and him urging me to go see his movie, 'Push' aka 'Precious.' When we finally got into the second screening, it was packed with people who had caught the buzz as well.
David Burger
When • Friday, Jan. 18
Where • ChefDance dining room
What happened • Before the 300 dinner guests arrived, I sat down with co-founders Kenny Griswold and Mimi Kim to talk about the 10th anniversary of ChefDance. After our chat, I was able to get a close-up look at the works of iconic photographer Norman Seeff hung throughout the basement dining room. If you don't know Seeff's name, you'll definitely know his most famous work: the black-and-white photo of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Seeff loaned Griswold 20 of his most memorable images for the event, including portraits of Ray Charles, Whitney Houston, John Belushi, Johnny Cash, Cher and Mick Jagger. I know ChefDance is supposed to be about the food — and I really did love the white chocolate bread pudding that night — but these photographs were the night's biggest treat.
Kathy Stephenson
When • Dave Grohl's Sound City Players concert on Friday, Jan. 18
Where • Park City Live, 427 Main St., Park City
What happened • This sold-out concert was party to celebrate the Sundance debut of Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl's directorial debut "Sound City," with musicians from the film showing up to make the three-hour-plus performance consistently surprising and hair-raising — in the very best way. My favorite moment came when Grohl switched from guitar to drums, and then Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear appeared onstage, along with Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Stone Sour and Slipknot singer Corey Taylor. With the surviving members of Nirvana — Grohl, Novoselic and Smear — playing along, Taylor led the all-star band through a rousing rendition of the Cheap Trick anthem "Surrender." Music never sounded more vibrant and celebratory.
David Burger
When • "Linsanity" premiere on Sunday, Jan. 20
Where • The MARC
What happened • Two gentlemen watching the documentary about Jeremy Lin — which noted the racism he has experienced — gasped in all the right places. Before the screening, they discussed business associates and spoke derisively of "the typical Asian behavior" of one of them, oblivious to their own racist stereotypes.
Scott D. Pierce
When • Monday, Jan. 21
Where • Shuttle stop in front of parking Lot G
What happened • Arrived at the shuttle stop at 11:50 a.m., which I thought was plenty of time to make it to Main Street for a 12:30 p.m. meeting. I waited and waited along with two other Salt Lake City residents — and an overly chatty parking attendant — for a ride. Over the next 30 minutes, three buses headed for other venues — not Main Street — arrived at our stop, picked up no one and left. By then two more people arrived at the stop saying they, too, were headed to Main Street. Finally, at 12:22 p.m., the Main shuttle arrived — followed immediately by another Main Street bus. The first bus was quite full, so the parking attendant suggested the five of us get on the second one, which we did. The first bus pulled away and the second bus remained at the stop until 12:30 p.m. Needless to say, I missed the meeting and got off the bus, wondering how to get my $10 parking fee reimbursed by the newspaper. Next year, I'll have to download the GPS shuttle app.
Scott D. Pierce
When • "A.C.O.D." premiere on Wednesday, Jan. 23
Where • Eccles Theatre
What happened • Amy Poehler, who plays the awful stepmother of her "Parks and Recreation" co-star Adam Scott, expressed appreciation for her character. "I was excited to play such a bitch," she said. "Everyone should be that kind of person once in a while."
Scott D. Pierce
When • Throughout the festival
Where • At shuttle stops, on Main Street and in hotel halls
What happened • Near-incessant chatter from film-industry intelligentsia about the need to "chug a coconut water."
– Ben Fulton
Movie moments
Scene • Closing reel of Sarah Polley's family documentary "The Stories We Tell,"
What sets it apart • As Polley is interviewing a man she suspects of having had a long-ago affair with her mother, her subject breaks down to admit it: "You probably should know I slept with your mother once." The moment proves it's possible to make a moving, honest documentary about family life that can be equally humorous and heart-breaking, rather than just deadpan earnest.
Ben Fulton
Scene • Young U.S. Evangelical missionaries travel through Uganda in Roger Ross Williams' documentary "God Loves Uganda."
What sets it apart • A young man asks a street vendor if he "speaks in tongues." The young man answers, "Yes, I speak Swahili, French and English," demonstrating the humorous, yet also tragic, way people of different cultures speak past each other.
Ben Fulton
Scene • In the harrowing documentary "After Tiller," doctor Susan Robinson counsels and comforts a woman who makes the agonizing decision to abort her baby boy, whom she calls Hudson, because he would live a short life of "shunts, surgeries and seizures."
What sets it apart • As heartbreaking a scene you'll see in any documentary, this moment underscores the idea that few women abort out of sheer whimsy, or because they want to make a feminist statement, but because they've often searched their consciences for days before making one of the most difficult decisions of their lives.
Ben Fulton
Scene • A sequence over the closing credits of "Austenland" shows Keri Russell, Jane Seymour and the rest of the cast singing and dancing to Nelly's "Hot in Herre."
What sets it apart • It's a kicky finish to a delightfully funny movie.
Sean P. Means
Scene • Daniel Radcliffe definitely sheds his "Harry Potter" image in "Kill Your Darlings," but that's not all he sheds.
What sets it apart • Portraying a young Allen Ginsberg discovering his sexuality during his college days, Radcliffe's character also sheds all his clothing for some raw gay sex scenes.
Sean P. Means
Scene • The entire opening sequence of writer-director Shane Carruth's science-fiction meditation "Upstream Color" — in which a woman (Amy Seimetz) is infected with a mind-control-inducing grub and coerced into bizarre behavior.
What sets it apart • The moment definitely sets the tone for this strangely beautiful drama.
Sean P. Means
Scene • Comic Demetri Martin applies his nerdy hesitation delivery perfectly to Lewis, the nice-guy sound-studio operator who has a crush on Lake Bell's lead character, Carol, in Bell's "In a World. …"
What sets it apart • Together, Martin and Bell make anxiety cool and sexy.
Sean P. Means
Scene • The triumphant performance of Darlene Love as the longtime backup singer takes the lead on "Lean on Me" in the documentary "Twenty Feet From Stardom."
What sets it apart • Love's star turn puts a winning coda on the whole idea propelling director Morgan Neville's documentary.

Broken Social Scene: United and Ready To Make You Head Bang to Art Rock
By Evan Ferstenfeld
If there's anything that can be grudgingly agreed upon by red and blue states alike after a marathon of Michael Moore movies, it might be that Canada seems to be a pretty keen place to live indeed. After all, the "little country that could" boasts ample examples of unlocked doors and unterrified citizens, a national sport that does not try to re-enact a Roman battlefield siege every Monday night, babbling streams flowing with the freshest of ginger ales, and a medical system where having your spleen replaced will not cost you a literal arm and a leg extra. In a land that has relegated many of America's most pressing social open sores to mere kindergarten scissor cuts, it is no wonder that our wacky neighbors to the North might also be pointing a stiff maple leaf in the right direction for taking rock music to a better place.
Instead of continually slashing music program funding, Canada has sanctioned several federal programs to foster musicians through their band's formative and gawky years, making Canada one of the few governments around the world that has actually paid to make sure its music doesn't suck. Of Canada's many talented musical confections, The Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene have arguably emerged as the two most arty but still huggable noise makers in Pabst country. While The Arcade Fire dabble in David Bowie textures and wondrously update styles of eras past, Broken Social Scene harness the power of an orchestral free-for-all approach, sounding like the Polyphonic Spree thrown out of an airplane on an overcast day.
The peaceful, hip-but-not-glib gathering of people at BSS's sold-out October 24th performance in Philadelphia's Theatre of the Living Arts started out quite calmly for a band which continues to edge further into instrumental overload with every new note that escapes from them. On a stage smaller than a third-grade spelling bee platform, BSS quickly dispatched its four guitarists, two drummers, keyboardist, and other assorted sonic twiddlers, finding anywhere to stand within the two square feet each member had been allotted. Bobbing their heads in unison like a bunch of rock'n'roll Rockettes, Broken Social Scene waded into the first song of the evening by playing their latest single "Major Label Debut," a brilliant electro-country ditty that proves upscaling your band's recording studios and war-torn drum kits doesn't always facilitate cashing in your band's soul. The song is as good example as any to see Broken Social Scene's predictably unpredictable stylings: start with a simple guitar hook that immediately grinds itself into your mind's rhythm section, and then steadily adding a jigsaw puzzle-esque arrangement of scattered soundwaves, sounding like a musical magnet clinging on to more and more objects as the power is increased.
In the studio, BSS has sometimes struggled with the problem of being a tad overzealous in how tall they've stacked their wall of sound, overwhelming the simple ingredients of what made the tunes so special to begin with. Not being able to create the musical equivalent of an elephant stampede live proved to be Broken's best ally, as each sweet layer of mounting instrumental mayhem strung together at the TLA held back the force of the previous one just enough to swiftly weave into one another. Highlights from the non-stop noise fest included "A Better Day," a raucous sonic step-child to the Beatles' "A Day in the Life," which had several Social members drop whatever they were playing to quickly form a row of trumpets, blasting the audience with the force of a Civil War firing line; the hypnotic beats and strums of the political "Cause = Time;" "KC Accidental" giving the propulsive jolt of a runaway train that jumps the tracks only to sprout wings and fly away.
A band with this many sounds vying for the listener's attention needs some human voices calling out amongst the cacophony. Leslie Feist, who doubled as the opening act with her own alt-country entry Feist, stamped her wonderfully elegant touch on the haunting "Anthems For a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl," conjuring up an intensity all her own as the song becomes soaked in yearning violin strings and delicate banjo plucks. New gal on the Scene Amy Millan took center stage with Leslie asking the audience to give "Bandwitched" its vocal backbone, effectively morphing the crowd's sound into what can best be described as a school of excited orca whales. Co-founder and ringleader Kevin Drew took the role of the laid-back father who exerts just enough musical authority to keep everyone in line, engaging in some slightly foggy banter with the audience before dousing them with the punk-rock fuzz opera "Almost Crimes." Perhaps the biggest sonic surprise of the night was when Kevin informed the crowd that this was his band's sixth gig in as many nights, a statement that cleared up any frustration with the band's lethargic stage presence that evening.
Before the rousing encore, Kevin opened up the floor to his concert-going delegates for any questions, and issued several shout-outs to the City of Brotherly Love through an off-kilter ode to the Phillies, our plentiful cheese steak supply, and his sincere fondness for the Flyers, thereby opening himself up for a barrage of Canadian hockey-related taunting. Luckily, no one took the bait.
BSS capped its fantastic showing at the TLA with an instrumental from its overlooked and underrated B-Sides and rarities package Bee Hives. As each piece of the band gunned itself towards the final expected sonic trajectory, the song violently halted nearly all extraneous tinkering, exposing a pounding military drum march and a few guitar surges following its lead. It was as if Broken Social Scene had suddenly spotted its enemies across the horizon (Disturbed, Nickelodeon rock stars, any rapper with a "Lil'" moniker before their name) and decided to charge them head-on, despite being ridiculously outnumbered and victory a near impossibility. But oh man, what a racket they will make going down against them.

Sunday marks the best day of the racing calendar with the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500 (Sunday, 1:00, ABC). As I did last year, I'll be playing handicapper as a way of previewing the race. This is, of course, for recreational purposes only. The Danica picture comes after the jump.
Dan Wheldon 2:1 Wheldon has dominated the Indy Car series so far this year, particularly on the ovals. He's starting a disappointing sixth, but given recent results, he's still the favorite.
Helio Castroneves 3:1 A two-time former champion who is starting on the pole. Yeah, I'd say he's a major contender.
Sam Hornish, Jr. 5:1 Hornish has struggled so far this season, down in 6th in the points. However, it's hard to downgrade the defending race and series champion too much.
Tony Kanaan 6:1 Kanaan is always up there, but can never seem to get over the hump. He's starting second, so the time for him could be now.
Scott Dixon 6:1 The man everyone forgets. Quiet as a mouse, but by driving a Ganassi car, he has to be one of the favorites. Still more likely to finish 2nd or 3rd than win.
Dario Franchitti 8:1 Mr. Ashley Judd has had a good start to the season, going from finishing 7th, to 5th, to 3rd, to 2nd as the season has progressed. Is that an omen?
Danica Patrick 10:1 Danica's transition to Andretti Green hasn't been smooth, and the Anna K comparisons continue to mount. However, Danica shows her best at Indy. If the top six falter (which is really the only way anyone else can win), than Danica has as good a shot as anyone.
Marco Andretti 12:1 If Danica's had issues, than Marco has had nightmares this season. In both 1.5 mile ovals so far (Homestead and Kansas), Marco's car has been completely undrivable. Given last year's second place at Indy, Marco can't be counted out, but to have a chance, those setup issues must be worked out.
Michael Andretti 15:1 This might be overrating Michael's chances. Everyone wants to him to finally win the Indy 500, but the only reason he was close last year was due to fuel strategy. Can he get lucky like that again? Chances are he won't.
Tomas Scheckter 15:1 Scheckter has been the best of the rest, ranking 7th in the points this season. He's always been fast, so if he can keep it on the track, he's got a shot.
Ryan Briscoe 18:1 Briscoe's only around for Indy, but he's no ordinary one race program. His team is owned by Roger Penske's son Jay, and is using Penske equipment. The result? Briscoe will start 7th, and is definitely one to keep an eye on.
Vitor Meira 20:1 It hasn't been the best start for Meira, and he qualified a disappointing 19th, but Meira has run well in the past (without a win though), including at Indy. Meira has never finished worse than 12th here, including a 2nd in 2005. You can't completely rule out a guy who's run that well at Indy.
Scott Sharp 25:1 Sharp has been around forever during the IRL era, seemingly finishing somewhere between 8th-14th every race. Except more of the same.
Buddy Rice 25:1 It's hard to get less respect as a former Indy 500 champion than Rice does. His move to Dreyer & Reinbold has not paid dividends so far. He just doesn't have the speed to contend for the win. Sad, since Rice should be one of the bigger stars in the series.
Jeff Simmons 30:1 Not much to say at this point. We've hit the middle of the pack of the IRL regulars. Having an offseason to prepare appears to have helped Simmons.
Ed Carpenter 30:1 Would Carpenter be in the series if he wasn't IRL owner Tony George's stepson? I think we all know the answer to that.
Buddy Lazier 30:1 The 1996 champ has actually had solid results lately (5th and 12th last two years) despite getting older. That's what gets him this high.
Darren Manning 35:1 Manning is driving for AJ Foyt in Foyt's 50th year at the Speedway. Will a miracle happen? Probably not.
Sarah Fisher 35:1 Fisher's back at Indy for the first time since 2004. With more experience, Fisher should beat her best finish at Indy, 21st.
AJ Foyt IV 40:1 Rule of Indy: Any Foyt driving that isn't the original AJ is not good.
Kosuke Matsuura 45:1 It's been a tough year for Matsuura, one that's probably made him a dead man walking. He won't be a factor.
Roger Yasukawa 50:1 I see no reason that Yasukawa can't replicate last year's performance, starting 28th and finishing 16th.
John Andretti 60:1 Speaking of long layoffs, John Andretti (nephew of Mario) hasn't been here since 1994. Naturally, there's still a third of the field that's worse.
Davey Hamilton 75:1 If this were NASCAR, everyone would know Davey Hamilton's story. Hamilton had some IRL success in the 90s, but suffered a huge crash in 2001, nearly destroying his feet. After 21 surgeries and a year in a wheelchair, Hamilton has come back to Indy after six years away, giving up part of his insurance settlement to do so. It's an amazing tale of perseverance.
Jaques Lazier 100:1 I don't really know why the other Lazier keeps hanging around, but here we are.
Richie Hearn 150:1 Anyone who can wait until Bump Day to get in car, take about 20 laps of practice and get the car to 222 mph is a racer, despite not racing anything other than karts for two years.
Al Unser, Jr. 200:1 Yes, he's a legend, and yes, it's great that he's teamed up with AJ Foyt, but given his DUI arrest and coming hearing, Little Al has other problems. Let's hope he's dealing with them.
Alex Barron 250:1 This isn't a knock on Barron, who's a solid driver, but in the two IndyCar races he's run with this team, the car has been crap.
Roberto Moreno 500:1 Moreno is known as SuperSub for all the subbing he's done in his career. This race is more of the same, as Moreno was called in to replace Stephane Gregoire, who broke his back in practice. The problem here is a) Moreno got little practice and b) Moreno is 48, making him the Ultimate Retread of the race.
Phil Giebler 1,000:1 This 28 year old rookie has had some nice results in the Indy Pro Series. He has a learning curve, but he's handled himself well. Starting last though means he'll be a backmarker all day though.
Jon Herb 5,000:1 Herb has no career Indy start. He finished 27th in 2001. I don't know why he's here either.
Milka Duno 10,000:1 Duno's superspeedway experience is essentially zero. She stayed out of the way in Kansas though, and was decent in practice, so there's hope this won't be a complete disaster.
Marty Roth 25,000:1 When others in the garage try to convince you to stick to the owner part of your owner/driver outfit so you're results will improve, you are not good at driving. If Roth wins the 500, then Indy racing should just quit right there. It'd be over.
There you have it: The full field for the Indy 500. Who is your pick to win this race? Will you even watch it (keep in mind, it's that or an NBA playoff game that will be boring)?

Discounting Charity
Google and Religious Nonprofits
Discounting Charity
The point is valid; however, the other side is 3 John 7, "for they have gone out for the sake of the Name, accepting no help from the Gentiles." I knew pastors in the old days who wouldn't accept a discounted haircut from a barber who wasn't a believer.
Discounting Charity
For some time, gay activists have complained about the "religious hypocrites" who used boycotts and economic leverage to pressure companies not to do business with homosexuals. Apparently hypocrisy has come full circle and is no respecter of persons or ideologies.
Non profits
Why is there not Internet services developed for non profits? Why must they be dependent on google? I would love a place to go online where I do not have to have a filter....

The IPhone 6 (and 6 Plus) Go To Disneyland
Last week I decided to test the most secretive, hotly anticipated smartphones on earth in a place where there was no danger of them being recognized or damaged or both: Disneyland. There are a ton of reviews out there that have done meticulous work with benchmark apps, rulers and rectal thermometers to get you spec-based evaluations of the new iPhones. This is not one of them. I took a trip and used the junk out of them. I had some interesting realizations, I took some good pictures and I wasted some time in long lines playing Spider-Man. If this sounds like what you do on trips then you could find something useful here. Aside from any Apple employees who may have visited the park, I believe I'm the first to have ever used the new iPhones there. Read More >>

Owners Say Rice Investigation Will Be Independent
The two NFL owners overseeing the investigation into how the league pursued and handled evidence in the Ray Rice domestic violence case pledged Thursday to make the findings of the probe public, and said their goal was "to get the truth." They said the inquiry's focus will be on what efforts were made to obtain video evidence of the three-time Pro Bowl running back striking his fiancee; if the video arrived at the league office; and what happened to it after it was delivered.Read More >>

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus represent Apple's new flagship products, and they're a big change from what came before: The 4.7-inch 6 has a new, Retina HD resolution display, and smooth, rounded edges and a smooth transition between the actual glass protecting the screen and the rest of the casing.

First, congrats on a job well done!
Second, let's discuss in private.
yes nice work, would be interesting to know if any notable persons of significant political power attended, and their thoughts. \
and yes video pr podcast please
The Enda Game.
"Ireland will be the first country in the eurozone to give a democratic verdict on the German-backed rules for the single currency after Dublin announced it would hold a referendum on the treaty."
There is a significant chance that one of the minority anti-EU parties can start using arguments based on MMT/Functional Finance to argue against approving additional and persistent austerity measures contained in the "fiscal compact" and surrendering another piece of Irish sovereignty. This referendum may also offer means to reject the "pain for no gain" policy already implemented in Ireland.
There may be a tremendous opportunity to inject Functional Finance to mainstream debate in English-speaking media.

still, I think this means that they (politicians, bankers) must have agreed that Greece will be the exception. So they will probably try to enforce the agreement.

By Josh Barro

If you're on Twitter, your feed for the last few days has probably consisted of nonstop complaint about how NBC is covering the Olympics. Everything is on tape delay! The commentators are terrible! They aren't showing enough non-U.S. competitors! I can't get NBC's Web feed because I don't pay for cable!

Everybody stop whining now.

As the New York Daily News's Josh Greenman put it, "NBC paid lots of money to air the Games. They want the viewing public to watch in prime time so advertisers get value. This isn't a scandal." NBC's model works because most of the viewing audience is fine with it, and wouldn't be willing to pay much for an alternative that relies less on payments from advertisers and cable systems.

And of course, if you really want to watch the events live, you can on NBC's website. Yes, you have to be a cable subscriber. NBC makes lots of money from fees it charges cable and satellite systems to carry its various networks, partly because of its Olympics coverage. If NBC offers Olympics content to people who don't pay for cable, that reduces their ability to demand higher carriage fees.

Heidi Moore of the Guardian suggests that NBC could have offered a separate, paid online Olympics subscription for people like her who don't have cable, similar to the one it offers for the Tour de France at a cost of $29. I am skeptical that the numbers would pencil.

NBC hasn't disclosed how much it pays for the Tour de France, but rights to show the race in France cost $30 million a year. Meanwhile, NBC paid $1.18 billion for the rights to the 2012 Summer Olympics. The huge cost of the Olympics rights, and the significant value they provide NBC in both advertising revenue and leverage in negotiating carriage fees, means you would have to charge a lot to make an alternative Web service work.

NBC already experimented once with high-price subscriptions for live Olympics coverage, with its "Triplecast" program in 1992. NBC found that few people were willing to pay handsomely to watch live, uncut Olympics coverage.

And the market that Moore wants NBC to sell into is small. According to Nielsen, fully 90 percent of households with televisions have cable or satellite service. (Only 3 percent of households have no television at all.) I'm a young professional living in New York, and I personally know a lot of people with televisions, disposable income and no cable. But nationally, this group is small, and NBC does not leave a lot of money on the table by failing to cater to its needs.

The NBC Olympics complaints are basically a rehash of the complaints over HBO GO -- HBO won't sell you access to web streams of their content if you don't get HBO through cable. Yes, as someone who doesn't subscribe to HBO, I find this annoying. But that doesn't mean HBO is making a mistake by failing to sell exactly the product I want -- they have sound business reasons for choosing the delivery channels they are using.

Hi. You've been uploading several photos from 1968, and filling in the "date" field with today. That's wrong. The "date" field is for when the photo was created, not for when you uploaded it. I'm fixing the ones you've uploaded today; please be more careful next time. Thanks.
(Also, if you could give the files more descriptive names than just "Hvd-##", that would be very useful too.) DS (talk) 15:09, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- I did a mass upload (hmm, mass, 15 images) with the wizard. I didn't enter a date, it was auto-filled I guess. I will double check next time. Edoderoo (talk) 15:10, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ah! You're not the first person who I've cautioned against this error, but you are the first one to explain what happened. it's a flaw in the wizard; I've spoken to some WMF people in order to have that fixed. Might take a while, but at least now we know to ask. DS (talk) 19:14, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

The Pittsburgh Penguins received a very pleasant surprise at practice on Tuesday as forward Jordan Staal practiced with the team for the first time this season.
The 22-year old Staal has yet to play this season after suffering a setback in recovery from a foot injury sustained in the post-season last year. Staal had 21 goals and 28 assists in 82 games and was nominated the Selke Trophy last season as the league's best defensive forward.
Staal was not alone in his return as both forward Arron Asham and defenceman Brooks Orpik also practiced with the team. Asham has yet to make his Penguins' debut and continues to nurse a shoulder injury while Orpik has been sidelined with a groin injury.
Defenceman Zbynek Michalek took the ice before Penguins practice to work out with the team's strength and conditioning coach. He is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a shoulder injury.
