Dierks Bentley Logs Millionth Mile After Canadian Tour
Dierks Bentley is a member of the million mile club. The singer just wrapped the Canadian leg of his 2012 Country & Cold Cans Tour in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Thursday, Feb. 23. Upon crossing the border to re-enter his home (or is that 'Home?') country of the U.S., "Old Goldie," his tour bus, logged its millionth mile. Congrats to Bentley on all that hard work, making fans the grassroots way by hitting the road and playing shows. But more importantly, congrats to Old Goldie. It's quite an accomplishment, even if we're wondering if she needs a new transmission thanks to all those miles.
"Goldie has been my home on the road since I put out my very first single," said Bentley in a statement. "A lot of memories have been made traveling across the country in Goldie, and I've been able to see every city and town three or four times. If you look at my guitar or my boots or my truck, you know that I love old things. I hope she makes it another million!"
Clearly, Goldie's a keeper and so is Bentley.
Bentley is playing the San Antonio Rodeo this weekend. Then he'll pack up and head down under for the Aussie leg of the Country & Cold Cans Tour. He'll then return to the U.S. for a 20-city spring run. For a full list of upcoming tour dates, visit his official site.
Bentley's latest, 'Home,' is out now.

In the historical inner city of Zagreb, the 2 towers of the enormous neo-Gothic cathedral rise above the other buildings. Its official name is 'The Cathedral of Mary's Assumption' but the cathedral is popularly known as the Zagreb Cathedral. The stunning exterior is as breathtaking as the interior, and no expense or efforts have been spared to adorn the cathedral with many wall paintings and altars.
The Zagreb Cathedral is the city's most eye-catching monument. Its foundation stone was laid in 1093 but its current appearance is relatively new. After an earthquake destroyed most of the building in 1880, renowned Cologne architect Hermann Bollé designed a completely new façade, including the 2 bell towers that are 105 metres tall. If you stand in front of the cathedral it may seem as if the left tower is lower, but that is just an optical illusion. It's a joke of the architect to mimic the asymmetry in nature.
Thanks to its rich history, the cathedral is a huge attraction to both residents and visitors. The building was completed in 1217 but only a few decades later, in 1242, it was devastated by the Tatars. In 1263, the structure was completely renovated in a Gothic style. Walls and towers were added in the 16th century and in the 17th century a huge tower was placed next to the cathedral. Since 1990, the cathedral is undergoing gradual renovations to preserve its condition.
The cathedral, which seats 5,000 people, features neo-Gothic marble altars, stained glass and a beautiful pulpit. It is also the final resting place of the controversial Croatian Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac, who is buried in a tomb made by Croatian sculptor and architect Ivan Meštrović. An image of the archbishop can be seen on a raised platform behind the main altar. Stepinac led the Croatian Catholic Church during World War II, and although never proven, there are strong indications that he had ties to the Nazis.

Now then:
A growing number of veteran commandos in Special Operations are rising to top positions in traditional military units and across the national security bureaucracy, reflecting the importance of their specialized training to fight unconventional wars that defined the past decade.
Among the most visible of these appointments were the recent promotions of two Navy Seal commanders to the No. 2 slots at a pair of military regional commands, a historic first.
Vice Adm. Robert S. Harward was named deputy commander of Central Command, the military's busiest, managing two wars while watching a complex set of partners and rivals across Southwest Asia and the Middle East. Vice Adm. Joseph D. Kernan was named deputy commander of Southern Command, specializing in upgrading the skills of local security forces across Latin America and the Caribbean with the exercise of American influence, or "soft power."
This according to Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt in today's New York Times. (It's probably worth noting that Shanker and Schmitt also have a new book out on the role of SOF and intelligence assets in aggressively targeting AQAM.)The intermingling of conventional forces and Special Operations personnel is under way elsewhere, too, reflecting a significant shift in military culture and reshaping not only the armed services but also the executive branch and Capitol Hill.
Admiral Eric Olson handed over command of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to ADM William McRaven yesterday; both men are SEALs. Olson was the first ever three-star (and eventually four-star) SEAL, and the first SEAL to command SOCOM. McRaven was the first SEAL to command JSOC, SOCOM's most talked-about component. All of which is to say that SEALs are a highly visible, influential presence in the senior ranks of both the special operations community and the broader Joint force in a way they never have been before.
SEALs have been in the press a lot lately, of course: the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and the tragedy of last weekend's downed Chinook have ensured that both the sacrifices and the excellence of Naval special operators are front of the national mind. It's exactly this centrality to current operations that has made possible the increasing policy influence of the individuals cited above: in a war that is largely irregular, who better to help integrate special operations with those conducted by conventional military forces than representatives of the units whose statutory responsibility includes direct action, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, and a range of other irregular tasks? The geographic combatant commands' "Phase 0" peacetime engagements and post-conflict activities have a great deal in common with the main elements of the SOF mission, so this seems like a sensible move. Shanker and Schmitt are right to emphasize the unique experience of special operators in dealing not just with other military officers, but integrating operations with representatives from across the interagency and partner militaries. This is surely a useful skill for flag and general officers at a combatant command, and it's something SOF guys have been doing for their entire careers. Here's an instructive snip from the Army's SOF field manual:
ARSOF missions are normally joint or interagency in nature. ARSOF can conduct these missions unilaterally, with allied forces, as a coalition force, or with indigenous or surrogate assets. Mission priorities vary from theater to theater. ARSOF missions are dynamic because they are directly affected by politico-military considerations. A change in national security strategy or policy may add, delete, or radically alter the nature of an ARSOF mission.Special operators are Chuck Krulak's real "strategic corporals" fighting the "three block war," and this serves them well at the policy-oriented higher reaches of the combatant commands.
But what first jumped out at me on reading the article I've excerpted above is that all the guys we're talking about aren't just SOF guys -- they're all SEALs. That is, they're members of perhaps the most direct action-oriented SOF in the U.S. arsenal. That's not to say that Naval Special Warfare doesn't do FID or anything of the sort, but rather that the major emphasis of the SEALs both in the current wars and over the last several decades has been direct action, raids, counterterrorism, and so on. This is in direct contrast to U.S. Army Special Forces, whose traditional, foundational mission is UW and FID. (Look, this isn't about interservice rivalry, so spare me. It just is what it is.)
SF, of course, has done plenty of direct action in the last decade. The sheer size of the combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan has created a demand for direct action "door-kickers" that outpaced the supply of forces traditionally tasked with that mission, which has resulted in what I call the Ranger-izing of the bulk of U.S. SOF. (The 75th Ranger Regiment is the Army's elite light-infantry unit and is traditionally tasked with direct action and strike missions such as raiding and interdiction.) Simply put, with two big wars going on, SOF have increasingly been employed for door-kicking and trigger-pulling.
Should this be the new normal, though? Is this what we want these guys -- SOF writ large, I mean -- doing into the future? The unique capabilities that exist in U.S. SOF were created and maintained for a reason: they're specialized, they're training-intensive, and they're extremely useful to policymakers. Military leaders are always looking for ways to adapt and make themselves more relevant to the mission, and the hard-chargers in the SOF community are probably even more inclined to do so than most; viewed in this light, it's not surprising that a national security paradigm that prioritizes counterterrorism would mitigate in favor of an emphasis on raiding and direct action. But if the trend continues, the Joint force and the country risks losing the many other important force multipliers that SOF can bring to the table.
For their part, Special Forces guys seem to know this. Many of them understand that the future security environment, in which policymakers will almost certainly favor the indirect approach over costly and controversial military operations, demands a re-emphasis on their traditional core competencies. I've got a lot of technical quibbles with this idea (and a few conceptual ones), but COL Eric Wendt presents an aggressive and original idea for how Army SF can get back to their roots through what he's calling the Volckmann Program. It's worth reading, if only to appreciate the juxtaposition between Wendt's traditionalist understanding of what SOF are meant to be all about and the Dick Marcinko caricature that's become increasingly accurate in recent years.
Does the elevation of SEALs as opposed to Green Berets indicate a continued emphasis on direct action at the expense of FID? Am I reading too much into this? (I'm especially interested in input and comments from SF guys and other special operators. As I said above, I'm looking at this from the outside, and there's only so much you can see from there.)
UPDATE: Because I've finally realized after all this time that no one clicks through on links, and because it's directly relevant to this conversation, here's the list of specified "special operations activities" from 10 U.S.C. §167 (j). I've also included my own simplistic explanatory comments for your edification, but I'm not going to go into the sort of semantic digressions (as is my wont) that are so natural when discussing the DoD lexicon.
1) Direct action (DA) -- killing people and breaking things in surgical fashion in high-risk environments
2) Strategic reconnaissance (now called special reconnaissance, SR) -- essentially intelligence collection
3) Unconventional warfare (UW) -- support to foreign insurgency
4) Foreign internal defense (FID) -- support to foreign authorities combating internal threats (insurgency, terrorism, etc.); includes a training/advising (security force assistance) component
5) Civil affairs (CA*) -- liaison between civil government and military forces
6) Psychological operations (now called Military Information Support Operations, MISO) -- shaping foreign opinion in support of U.S. objectives
7) Counterterrorism (CT) -- self-explanatory, I hope
8) Humanitarian assistance -- responding to humanitarian crises in foreign countries, preferably in support of civil authorities
9) Theater search and rescue (SAR) -- getting people back from high-risk, denied environments; the "theater" bit seems to me to suggest that SOF are covering an entire AOR's SAR needs, including countries where U.S. forces are not engaged in combat operations
10) Such other activities as may be specified by the President or the Secretary of Defense
* "CA" is the acronym for civil affairs, which is a term that actually refers to units, not activities. CA perform "civil affairs activities," but I'm just gonna use the acronym here for simplicity. Remember what I said about the lexicon being stupid?
Joint special operations doctrine, developed by USSOCOM and codified in JP 3-05 Special Operations, gives a somewhat different listing of "special operations core activities" (see Figure II-2 on page II-6): DA; SR; counterproliferation of WMD; CT; UW; FID; security force assistance (SFA); counterinsurgency (COIN); information operations (IO); MISO; and CA operations. I'm not sure why SOCOM decided to re-define its core missions, but an exploration of how these concepts are nested with and overlap one another would bore the hell out of you and take forever, so I'll just leave it at that.

Many of you know that I've been making a big effort to lose weight and get healthy and the biggest thing that I've been doing to work on that is watching what I eat. I've been doing really well at it and I've actually learned to enjoy being more conscious about what I'm putting into my mouth and my body. So while I'm sure I'll still post delicious and bad for you food, the norm will be healthier food that still is delicious!
One of my favorite healthier meals is, of course, from Our Best Bites. They don't go out of their way to make super health meals, but always do sweets/naughty stuffs in moderation and try and keep their meals on the healthier side, which is exactly how I want to be. Their Taco Soup is one of their healthier meals and man is it good. You really can't go wrong with ground beef, onion, garlic, tomato, beans, corn and cilantro. Which is basically what this is. Honest.
My pictures aren't so great and I got a little excited while making this and didn't take pictures of some…Well, a lot of the steps, but you can always go to their post, which I'll link to later on.
Start by sautéing some onion and garlic. Yummmmm…
Throw in your ground beef (as lean as you can get it!) and cook til it's done.
Then throw in some taco seasoning, a couple cans of tomatoes and tomato sauce, corn, and beans – or fresh beans if your boyfriend's mom is awesome and almost always has homemade beans on hand.
Let it simmer for a bit, then dish it up and garnish with whatever your little heart desires! Be aware though…garnishes can take a healthy meal and make it super unhealthy in just few bites. Cheese and sour cream, I'm looking at you guys!!
Yes, I succumbed to the cheese. It's just so tasty!!
Taco Soup
Recipe by Our Best Bites
1 tb Olive Oil
1 lb. extra lean ground beef (The leaner the better!)
1 onion, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, minced (I always at least triple garlic.)
1 1.25-oz. packet taco seasoning (about 1/4 c.)
3 c. water, divided
2 28-oz. cans diced tomatoes
1 15-oz. can tomato sauce
2 15-oz. cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn, drained
Heat olive oil in a deep pot. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, then add ground beef. When it's all browned add the taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. Top with cilantro, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, whatever you would like!

The biggest reason why software applications run slowly is because they don't have enough memory to operate efficiently. People work the same way. You can improve your memory by getting enough sleep at night and by mind-dumping. Well, it works for me.

Don't do what Allende did
Greg Grandin
- Allende's Chile and the Inter-American Cold War by Tanya Harmer
North Carolina, 375 pp, £38.95, October 2011, ISBN 978 0 8078 3495 4
The 1930s, the chronicler of American poverty Michael Harrington once said, ended in 1948, when the Cold War began to call into question the idea that democracy would lead to socialism. But by that definition, perhaps the 1930s didn't really end until 11 September 1973, when Pinochet launched his coup against Salvador Allende, Chile's democratically elected Marxist president, and Allende committed suicide in the national palace. What came next is part of capitalist mythology. Pinochet, advised by Milton Friedman and the Chicago Boys – Chilean economists trained at the University of Chicago – applied what Friedman at the time called 'shock treatment', a dramatic and immediate reduction of the money supply, followed by the privatisation of state industries and government services, the reduction of tariffs and subsidies, and the extension of cheap credit to make up for rapidly falling wages. Chileans had been told the coup was intended to contain Castroism, but Friedman targeted a different enemy: the welfare state. 'Some forty years ago,' Friedman told Pinochet, 'Chile, like many another country, including my own, got off on the wrong track' by trying to 'do good with other people's money'.
It wasn't a coincidence that Friedman and his allies zeroed in on Chile. For most of the 20th century, many Latin Americans thought democracy and socialism were the same thing – the fight for the vote was indistinguishable from the fight for welfare – but it was especially the case in Chile, where communists and socialists had built a modern social democratic state. So Friedman, Hayek and the Chicago Boys knew there was more at stake there than monetary policy. Pinochet's coup offered them a chance to establish, as Hayek put it, an untainted form of 'democracy and liberty, clean of impurities'.
No one better represented the unclean mix of electoral and economic democracy than Allende. Born to an upper-class family in 1908, he graduated from medical school and in 1933 helped found Chile's modern Socialist Party. He was elected to the Congress in 1937 and the following year managed the winning campaign of a Popular Front presidential candidate. Appointed minister of health in 1939, he helped increase pensions for widows, provided free lunches for schoolchildren and prenatal care for women and introduced workplace safety regulations. He supported Spain's Republicans and used his post to grant thousands of them asylum after Franco's victory. By 1948, Allende was in the Senate when Gabriel González Videla, a Popular Front president elected with Communist and Socialist votes, set about repressing the left and the trade unions. His friend Pablo Neruda fled the country. Allende stayed, denouncing the crackdown but working to get national healthcare enacted in 1952, 13 years after first proposing the idea.
Allende won his first Congress seat with a total of 2021 votes, barely 3 per cent of his district's population – the franchise was then limited to literate men. Literate women didn't get the vote until 1949. In 1957 Allende and other senators passed legislation establishing a secret ballot (for more than a hundred years, rural landowners had enjoyed what one Chilean political scientist called a 'plural vote': they would fill out a number of voting slips themselves, then distribute them among their peons and sharecroppers to deposit in the ballot box). Not until 1971 were all men and women over the age of 21, literate or not, allowed to vote. The literacy restrictions led left-wing socialists like Allende to push for greater public education in order, among other things, to have a better chance at the polls. In 1937, as many as 350,000 children had no school to go to. As a new senator, Allende introduced a bill to build classrooms and hire teachers to work in them. He also proposed peasant and worker literacy programmes. The goal, he said, was to turn Chile 'into one big school'.
Allende stood for president three times, in 1952, 1958 and 1964, before winning in 1970, running each campaign like an extended consciousness-raising session. In 1952, he polled about fifty thousand votes; by 1970, leading a coalition of the Socialist and Communist Parties, social democrats and a leftist faction that had split from the Christian Democrats, he had more than a million. The alliance was called Popular Unity, echoing the earlier Popular Front, but Allende made it clear that what Chileans meant by democracy had changed since the 1930s: 'We do not want a repetition of the Popular Front, which only sought to improve and maintain the regime and the system. We want to change the regime and system and construct a new society on a completely different social and economic foundation.' Critics say that Allende misinterpreted his mandate: he won the presidency with little more than a third of the vote in a three-way race, and then implemented too radical a programme. But his Christian Democrat opponent, Radomiro Tomic, had run on a platform not dissimilar to Allende's. Almost two million Chileans, more than 62 per cent of the electorate, voted to raise the minimum wage, to increase spending on education, healthcare and pensions, to distribute large haciendas to peasants and to nationalise various industries, including mining. By 1970, electoral democracy in Chile meant socialism.

Sandwich made with this new kind of bread I invented
I am often out of bread. It's a shame but I sometimes don't have time to buy bread or make bread, and then well that's how you get to be out of bread. A while ago I was inspired by Jacques Pepin to try making a quick soda bread in a skillet. He did it on his show and it looked interesting so I did it a few times, but it wasn't great. Soda bread may be suitable for the some uses and I guess for the Irish, but it's a less than perfect substitute for real bread. Sorry the Irish, I speak truth to power. And drunks. And leprechauns.
A principle use for bread in our house is sopping, whether meat juices, barbecue sauce, runny egg, olive oil or soup, bread needs to be sop-worthy, and soda bread disintegrates too readily to sop. Compared to yeast bread, the crumb of soda bread is crumbly rather than spongy, which makes it terrible at sopping. Soda bread also tends to have a firm, craggy outer crust that can be hard and unpleasant to eat. French bread eats better even with a firm crust because the crust has a fine texture and acts like a kind of skin or envelope, holding together whatever you're eating. Soda bread also tends to have lingering aftertaste from the chemical leavening, a kind of baking soda bitterness that seems alien in my mouth. Soda breads are usually made with very little fat, which exacerbates the dry, crumbly texture. All tolled, soda bread is more of a biscuit or muffin than bread, and should probably be reserved for similar uses. Reserved for muffin duty.*
One night when Heather needed soup I made soup. No big deal, I'm on soup like Sinatra on the cigarette girl. Soup is my go-to, I can knock it out eyes closed. But Heather likes bread with her soup for sopping, and we were out of bread. I had been mulling over a couple of modifications to the skillet soda bread that might help with its deficiencies and this was a chance to try them out.
Both the texture of the crumb of yeast bread and the smooth resilience of its outside crust are the result of the gluten protein in the dough. The spongy interior is a web of protein that traps the fermentation gas of the yeast, and the gluten in the skin of the bread stretches as the dough rises and cooks to form a smooth browned exterior. To develop gluten, the protein needs to be teased away from the starch granules in the flour and then interlinked with other protein molecules to form a web. Conventionally, you develop the gluten by kneading the bread and giving it a long time to rise, but there are other ways. If the dough is extra-wet, almost a batter, then the starch molecules more readily free the gluten to do its thing, and if you use high-gluten bread flour rather than all-purpose flour there is more protein available and the gluten quickly becomes elastic. I had a hunch that using a protein-rich medium like eggs or milk to wet the dough also might help form the crumb.**
I decided to make a quick soda bread incorporating all these possibilities to see if it would function more like conventional yeast bread suitable for full bread duty***. I started the liquid medium with a couple of eggs, and when I reached in the fridge for the milk, I spotted a big tub of Bulgarian yogurt we'd bought on a whim at Andy's. Instantly I thought of a couple of reasons I should use the yogurt instead of milk. Yogurt has its milk proteins slightly curdled, concentrating and strengthening them, which might form a protein web with the gluten more readily. Also, the acid in the yogurt could be used to excite baking soda as a leavening agent, providing even more lift. I beat the eggs together with about an equal volume of yogurt. I don't know if Bulgarian yogurt is special, but it's pretty much like Greek yogurt, slightly less liquid than conventional supermarket plain yogurt. I had bought it because what the hell, Bulgarians can use my patronage, their roads are pretty fucked up. I added a couple of teaspoons of sugar and a pinch of salt to offset the tang of the yogurt, and it occurred to me that these three things, the yogurt's sourness, the salt and the sugar could all help to mollify the weird bitterness I associate with chemical leavening.
I melted some butter in a small non-stick skillet, about the size of an omelet pan but green and bought from the as-seen-on-TV store. These little things are great. They have a solid riveted handle, durable non-stick ceramic liner and are of heavier construction than anything else sold on TV. Definitely worth the six bucks or whatever. When the butter was melted I stirred it into the liquid mix and left the pan on the burner to heat.
I eyeballed the volume of the wet mix and made a scant pile of bread flour about the same volume in a small bowl, whisked-in a fat pinch each of baking soda and baking powder, then plopped them into the wet mix and stirred vigorously with a wooden spoon. The dough came together really quickly, and I could tell the gluten was already forming by the way the dough behaved on the spoon. It had the rubbery strands I associate with bread, not the wet, blobby consistency of a batter. The chemistry was also beginning to kick in, and I could sense the dough beginning to lighten and rise, so I got it in the now-hot skillet and quickly flattened it into a disc. One trick I learned from Jacques Pepin's bread was to put a couple tablespoons of water around the perimeter of the bread and cover it to make steam, even out the temperature and encourage the bread to rise rather than settle. I lowered the heat on the skillet to medium and let it rise. In the past when I'd made skillet bread the top had an unappetizing flat color, so I turned on the broiler to remedy that.
After less than two minutes, the bread had risen inside the skillet and looked almost set, so I put the skillet under the broiler to finish, and that turned out to be the magic touch. The crust of the bread rose and smoothed itself, then browned nicely in a couple of minutes. Out from under the broiler, the loaf looked awesome; tight, smooth and nicely browned. I turned it out from the skillet and let it rest on the counter. From outward appearances, it appeared I had just made legit bread in like five minutes. I don't know if I could get as nice a finish by doing the loaf start-to-finish in the oven, but I suppose that's my next experiment. Nah, who am I kidding. If I can make legit bread in like five minutes this way, I'm going to keep doing it this way. Regular bread goes in the oven, this is for when I'm out of bread.
The proof is in the eating, and this bread was terrific. The butter in the mix kept the crumb moist and soft, but the bread had a nice sponge that held together when dunked in soup, and behaved basically like legit bread. The flavor was nice, sweet and slightly eggy, like challah bread or brioche, but I detected none of the creepy chemical quality I was worried about and fuck me, this was great news. I invented a bread. Now I know how Tesla felt when he first drew lighting out of one of his contraptions. Or Thomas Edison. Or Alexander Graham Bell. Or the first guy to do a pick slide to start a solo. Après moi, le déluge de pain frais de la skillet vert.
I was prepared for the bread to fail, but was relieved it had not. Had it failed, my next experiment would have been to try separating the eggs and beating the whites to a foam first, then making a thinner batter with the other ingredients and folding it into the whites, making the lift come from the meringue in the manner of a genoise or other sponge cake. I didn't do that initially because cake crumb is not as stable as bread, and I wanted to avoid making a fall-apart mock-bread. I wanted legit bread.
Emboldened by the success of the skillet bread, I have begun using it for other purposes. The other day H-Bomb (I still call her H-Bomb sometimes, she hates it) wanted a sandwich but guess what no bread. Guess again, pow! five minutes to bread. She only wanted one sandwich, and a full skillet would be too much bread, so I scaled everything back, one egg, one blop of yogurt, smaller pinches of everything I pinched in before, half as much bread flour, and I used a pastry ring inside the skillet to confine the dough and shape the little loaf into a bun**** suitable for sandwich duty. Everything in the bread is scalable. I could probably make a whole sandwich loaf like this.***** (vg)

We all know the face of stress: the clenched jaw, the furrowed brow, the intense stare. And, really, it's not a bad look. We all do some of our best work under pressure. Adrenaline and other stress hormones give us the kick start we need to meet deadlines and generally get ahead in life.
But when stress runs too hot for too long, the look changes. People who are stressed for years don't merely appear driven or focused. They look beaten down. In large doses, stress can wear the body and speed up the clock on aging.
The wear and tear of stress can show up in every part of the body: individual cells, bones, skin. You can even see it in photographs. A Dutch study from 2012 asked volunteers to guess the age of nearly 300 people from photos. The researchers also checked all of the photo subjects for cortisol, a key stress hormone. The results were telling: People with high levels of cortisol almost always looked older than they really were. The researchers estimated that each tiny increase in cortisol — each micromole per liter, to be exact — aged a person by about half a year.
Ronald Nathan, an author and psychologist who runs a men's-only practice in Albany, N.Y., says he can see the telltale signs of stress in his clients. Wrinkles are one giveaway. "They have the No. 11 between their eyebrows," he says. "I think the Botox industry is largely based on trying to erase the signs of stress."

Tarantino XX: Pulp Fiction Event
Two years after the groundbreaking debut of Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino unveiled his masterpiece, Pulp Fiction and solidified his place among the greatest filmmakers in modern cinema. In celebration of his legendary 20-year career, NCM Fathom Events, Miramax and IGN are bringing Pulp Fiction back to the big screen for only one day on Thursday, December 6 at 7:00pm (local time)*.
Recognized on AFI's Top 100 list, Pulp Fiction weaves three interconnected stories of seemingly unrelated people into an intricate tale of violence and redemption. Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega are two hitmen who are out to retrieve a suitcase stolen from their employer, mob boss Marsellus Wallace. Wallace has also asked Vincent to take his wife Mia out while he is away. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his next fight. These intersecting storylines are brought together in a highly-stylized way that is quintessentially Tarantino.
In addition to bringing Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece back to the big screen, the event will feature exclusive interviews and original trailers, handpicked from Tarantino's personal collection, that have influenced his work.
Starring Tim Roth, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames
Directed by Quentin Tarantino

Welcome to my genealogy blog following the discoveries, brick walls, and triumphs encountered while climbing my various family trees.
March 14, 2011
2 Year Blogiversary
For this next year, my goals and renewed spirit are pushing me forward and I've committed to blogging more. And I have to say, I'm excited about the prospect! In the last week, I've already listened to some archived webinars, signed up to attend more, picked up two followers, and added numerous blogs to Google Reader! The genealogy community is such an amazing and addictive one. It's always a treat to interact with others out there who may or may not have shared ancestral lines, but who always have a shared interest!
Has anyone else gotten away from their family tree for a bit, but is now taking up the challenge again? Any tips or pointers?
It's with much excitement that I look forward to breaking down some genealogical brick walls in 2011; and reconnecting with a great community along the way!

The festival at St. Maximilian Kolbe Roman Catholic Church is a celebration of all things Polish, as well as a fundraiser for the church, helping it maintain its facilities and carry out its humanitarian mission.
One of the most popular ethnic festivals in Pacific Beach, the Polish festival attracts as many as 5,000 people from all around San Diego, as well as international visitors during its three-day stint.
"It's a celebration of our culture," said Bogdan Maziarz, a Polish Festival Committee church member.
Maziarz said the festival, which charges $3 for admission, is an open invitation to San Diegans to become better acquainted with Polish Americans.
"It's there for Americans to come and see what Poland is all about," Maziarz said, adding traditional Polish cuisine like pierogis (dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut or potato and cheese), golabki (meat-stuffed cabbage rolls), bigos (hunter's stew), potato pancakes and famous grilled kielbasa (Polish sausage) are worth the turnout. The festival menu is rounded out with Polish pastries and soft drinks, coffee and tea.
To go along with the repast is a beer garden for ages 21 and up, which will feature well-known Polish beers like Zywiec, Okocim and Warka.
And don't forget the entertainment, said Maziarz.
"On stage we will have groups presenting traditional dance in costumes from different regions of Poland," he said. "They are very colorful."
Entertainment will include Polish folk-dance groups Polonez from San Diego and Krakusky from Los Angeles, as well as a polka band and a DJ who will entertain festival guests until close.
St. Maximilian's festival "is meant for the whole family to come and enjoy," said Maziarz.
Father Jerzy Frydrych of Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe said the church's primary mission is to "serve the needs of Polish people."
Part of that is having Mass said in Polish.
"People prefer their national language during clergy," Frydrych said, adding there is a Saturday service in English.
Noting St. Maximilian was built in 1995 to serve the Polish community, Frydrych said funds raised from the annual festival "go to renovate the church." He said improvements have included stained-glass windows and a new church sanctuary.
During World War II, the churh's namesake, Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe, provided shelter to refugees from greater Poland, including 2,000 Jews whom he hid from Nazi persecution in his friary, according to a Polish website dedicated to him. Kolbe was arrested by the German Gestapo and imprisoned.
In July 1941, a man from Kolbe's barracks vanished, prompting the deputy camp commander to pick 10 men from the same barracks to be starved to death in order to deter further escape attempts. One of the selected men was a young husband and father, and Kolbe volunteered to take his place.
During the time in the cell, Kolbe led the men in songs and prayer. After three weeks of dehydration and starvation, only he and three others were still alive. Finally, he was murdered with an injection of carbolic acid.
Father Kolbe was beatified as a confessor by Pope Paul VI in 1971 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II on Oct. 10, 1982. Upon canonization, the Pope declared St. Maximilian Kolbe not a confessor, but a martyr.
For those who want to learn more about St. Maximilian church and also join in prayer, daily Mass and tours of the church will be offered. Veneration of the relics of Blessed John Paul II, St. Sister Faustina, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Padre Pio and other saints will also be offered.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward the parish, the main goal being the continued renovation of St. Maximilian Kolbe Roman Catholic Church.
For more information, visit polishmission.org or call (858) 272-7655.

Patience is a virtue...
So it has taken me about 19 months to get to this point. What is frustrating me is that I have tried to get hold of someone at the hospital where I will be having my treatment to find out when I will be going in. After all, I do have a life, which because of the nature of the treatment and the fact it made me unwell previously, I have to plan around my admission. It means I will probably be out of action and extremely tired for about four weeks, if it was anything like the last infusion I had. So, when the hospital and Rheumatology department fail to return my calls, inevitably I become very impatient. I am suffering, and isn't it the main purpose of the NHS that people are not left to suffer in this country? I read an article recently that suggested the NHS treat Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis as seriously as cancer. This is because people with RA, on average, die 10 years younger than a healthy person. So if our lives are being cut short by a decade already, our healthcare providers should be doing all they can to ensure early treatment to effectively control this disease. I want to live a healthy, long life but imagine that this waiting around will be a common occurrence with the NHS. I wonder how quickly I would be treated if I had the money to afford private care?
I am still waiting for someone to get back to me about my treatment. Maybe in the meantime you would like to share your stories of timings between diagnosis and treatment, so I have something to read while I wait… and wait….

I am praying for you and others with this horrible disease. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I sent you a private email on FB.ReplyDelete
I am a type A person so patient and I do not actually get along. I hate waiting or sitting anywhere and it in particular when it has to do with my health.ReplyDelete
I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with your medication situation. It makes sense that they would treat RA as severely as cancer but awareness for RA is not the same as cancer so that explains a lot. A lot of this is change with groups like NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence), hopefully that message gets across. If you have not checked out their website, you should. There is a lot of great info about RA treatment. Here is the link. http://www.nice.org.uk/CG79
Good luck with getting the treatment. Hopefully, it is not too long.
Hmm sorry to hear that but it doesn't surprise me. Now I have to say Im a huge fan of the NHS and I'd hate to worry about insurance etc like they do in the US, but there is no doubt we need more funding, more doctors, fewer waiting lists.ReplyDelete
I first went to my GP about my issues on the 1st Dec last year. It took until 15th february to see a rheumatologist. It then took until the end of April to begin treatment. But thankfully my case is mild and they had to do a lot of investigation to determine what was going on so it didn't bother me too much to wait, apart from mentally i was worried obviously. I would hope if it was more severe it would take less time than that.
I live in Canada and first saw a doctor about my symptoms on Dec. 7, 2009 (my own doctor was away but I'd been suddenly over 12 days become sore all over and basically couldn't move). Blood was taken that same day to be tested.ReplyDelete
I had to call the doctors' office the following week when I hadn't heard back; they said the results were negative. I insisted on seeing someone because I was getting worse. My doctor, who was away on holidays, was called, and she made an appt. for me with a rheumatologist on Dec. 23. The rheumatologist right away suspected RA and sent me that same day for further blood test and a whole series of X-rays.
By Jan. 14, 2010, I was diagnosed with RA. On Jan. 20, I started on Methotrexate and on Jan. 27 I started on Enbrel (for which I needed insurance pre-approval – I got it astoundingly quickly).
My rheumatologist takes the prescribed route in treating this disease, which is hit it hard as early as possible, and the system here doesn't stop her, and for that I'm very grateful!
thank you for your comments... its interesting to find out other peoples experiences. And guess what... I'm still waitingReplyDelete

Awesome job! Proud of you! Always think positive never stop believing!ReplyDelete

I live in the US and have Insurance, for me it has been easy to get evaluated & treated. I saw my GP in early June, rheumatologist late July, had labs & a bone scan, saw rhemy for 2 wk eval & results, started Plaquenil at that appt. Been on it now for two months & I see a big improvement. Hope you get the call soon & get some relief! With private care you probably would have had an appt made w/ in days to go in w/in the week. At least that's how it works here.ReplyDelete

Former prime minister Kevin Rudd will be represented by one of Australia's leading defence barristers when he's grilled about Labor's botched home insulation program.
Bret Walker, SC, is regarded as one of Australia's best silks and has represented many high profile clients, including bikies, a rugby league star and an accused Serbian war criminal.
The barrister is representing Mr Rudd when he appears next month before a $20 million royal commission into Labor's troubled pink batts program, which has been linked to four deaths.
Mr Rudd is expected to be pressed about the scheme's rushed rollout, including revelations two public servants were given two days to secretly cost it.
The inquiry, in its fifth week, has heard how public servants worked around the clock to meet the program's tight timeframes, which one staffer described as "horrendous" and another dubbed "scary".
Mr Rudd is also expected to be questioned over the program's lack of installer training and what safety warnings he received before its July 1 2009 rollout.
The royal commission has already heard how Mr Rudd's office believed job creation would be compromised if training requirements for the home insulation program were "too onerous".
The scheme ended up being flooded by low-skilled workers who only required a general safety induction before entering ceilings.
Queenslanders Matthew Fuller, Rueben Barnes, Mitchell Sweeney, and Marcus Wilson from NSW, all lost their lives working under the scheme, which was also blamed for more than 100 house fires.
Insulation business owner Matthew Hannam told the inquiry on Tuesday that the program was an "absolute disaster waiting to happen".
Mr Rudd was set to appear at the commission sometime during the second block of hearings, which begin on May 5 and were expected to last two weeks.
His counsel, Mr Walker, has previously worked for the ALP.
He was hired by the party during the 2010 election to advise on workplace relations as the Fair Work Act emerged as contentious campaign issue.
He represented the Finks Motorcycle Club in the High Court as they successfully challenged South Australia's anti-bikie laws, and has also been counsel to Dragan Vasiljkovic, an Australian citizen accused of 1990s Yugoslav War crimes.
Mr Walker successfully defended former Cronulla Sharks player Greg Bird, who was acquitted in 2009 of charges relating to the glassing his then-girlfriend Katie Milligan.
Mr Rudd's legal team also includes celebrity lawyer Patrick George, who has previously represented Lara Bingle.

Although Ford's Expedition (and other large, truck-based SUVs) may be in market decline, there remains a need for vehicles with their capabilities. In the 2009 Expedition and extended length Expedition EL, Ford hopes to meet or exceed that need. Against rivals from Chevrolet, Nissan, Toyota and GMC, the Expedition stacks up well, offering innovative features like a power flush-folding third-row seat and an external keypad locking/unlocking feature. With gas prices in constant flux, those willing to take a risk may find now is the best time to make a great deal.
If you have a big family, boat or trailer, you'll revel in the space and versatility provided by the 2009 Ford Expedition. Virtually every dynamic aspect, except straight-line performance, has been enhanced, as have both active and passive safety features and characteristics.
If a vehicle weighing in excess of 5,500 pounds absolutely disgusts you, look at something else. If you're carrying only passengers, the more fuel-efficient Ford Freestyle or Ford Flex crossover SUVs may better suit your needs.
The Ford Expedition's 5.4-liter V8 is now Flex-Fuel ready, meaning it can run on either E85 or pure gasoline. New standard equipment on all Expeditions includes heated second-row seats, rain-sensing wipers and an anti-theft perimeter alarm system.
With the enhancements made to structure, suspension, steering and braking, the 2009 Ford Expedition is far removed from its truck-derived predecessors. Despite the tall seating position, the driving impression feels connected to the road, helped in no small part by steering with a good degree of precision. Over-the-road comfort is good and the handling feels balanced. While we weren't overwhelmed by the 5.4-liter V8's acceleration while towing, the Expedition seemed fully up to the task.
Enhanced Utility The EL's 12-inch longer wheelbase and nearly 15 inches of additional length provide a huge improvement in capacity with little increase in cost or reduction in fuel efficiency. Sure, your garage may not accommodate the extra length, but that's a small price to pay if you're actually intending to use your full-size SUV. Keyless Entry Keypad No more worrying about where to hide your keyfob; with the keyless keypad entry system you can simply lock your keys and other items safely inside the vehicle. A preset combination entered via the door-mounted keypad unlocks the doors.
The Expedition's seats offer excellent support, with improved contours, big side bolsters (we'd still hope for a little more lateral support), soft cushions and upgraded materials. Additionally, seat-track travel for the driver's side can accommodate people from 4'11" to 6'4" tall. In the Eddie Bauer package, driver and passengers will enjoy tone-on-tone leather, attractive and legible instrumentation, a stylish center stack on the instrument panel and cup holders galore. Access to the third row is relatively easy and the seating is reasonably comfortable, even for adults. Opt for the EL variant and you'll enjoy both a third row and lots of storage space behind it. Finally, some of the plastic textures, though not cheap, do not seem to quite match the expectations of a $45,000 price point.
The 2009 Ford Expedition carries over with only minor exterior changes after undergoing a complete makeover last year. While retaining the same basic architecture as the 2006 model, the newest Expedition's modifications are immediately recognizable. The most prominent alteration is the nose job, where Ford's now-signature four-bar grille sits front and center. What Ford describes as "crisply-defined surfaces and chiseled good looks" certainly remain, though augmented by the raised "powerdome" hood, new headlamps and large wheel "lips." Finally, 20-inch rims are optionally available from the factory, so there's no need to seek out the aftermarket variety.
Last year's redesigned front and rear suspensions, improved steering feel and bigger brakes help enhance improvements to the frame's structure. The AdvanceTrac stability control system with Roll Stability Control modulates braking and engine power to help maintain driver control in marginal conditions, particularly those involving slippery surfaces. Occupant protection is enhanced with seat-mounted front-side air bags and a three-row "safety canopy". Other standard features include keyless keypad entry, six-way power front seats, sliding center-section second-row seat, heated seats, rain-sensing wipers and a 300-horsepower V8 engine.
Expedition buyers can choose an optional PowerFold third-row seat that folds flat with the touch of a button. In combination with an also-optional power liftgate, the departure from the mall or hardware store needn't be so arduous. The independent rear suspension makes the flat-folding third row possible, because it takes up less space under the vehicle, and PowerFold and a powered liftgate make it convenient. Stand-alone options include a rear backup camera, DVD navigation with SIRIUS Travel Link, the SYNC audio system, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, auto-leveling rear air suspension and a 340-watt audio system.
While the 5.4-liter V8 is certainly adequate, Ford's one offering is overwhelmed by the multitude of choices available from Chevrolet, GMC and Dodge. The V8's 310 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft. of torque are well-matched to the chassis, and that power is enhanced by a six-speed automatic, but the package falls short of GM's 5.3-liter V8 (at least in horsepower), GM's 6.0-liter V8 and Dodge's 5.7-liter HEMI V8. The rumored release of a light-duty diesel within a couple of years might help, but not for a while. 5.4 liter V8 310 horsepower at 5100 rpm 365 lb.-ft. of torque at 3600 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20 (gasoline, 2WD). 10/14 (E85, 2WD), N/A (4WD)
The Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) for the two-wheel-drive 2009 Ford Expedition XLT begins around $35,000 and can climb as high as $55,500 for a fully-loaded four-wheel-drive King Ranch model. The EL extended-length version adds about $3,000 to the bottom line of each of the four (XLT, Eddie Bauer, Limited and King Ranch) trims. The very high-end Eddie Bauer includes interior appointments and exterior enhancements fully competitive with entrants from both Lincoln and GMC. Before you set out to purchase your new Expedition, be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price price, which shows what others in your area are paying for their new vehicles. As for resale, Expedition owners can expect to see values slightly lower than the Chevrolet Suburban and Nissan Armada, and well below the Toyota Sequoia.

IR Harp
I like this idea of Jenett's. Maybe we can do it with lasers [1] once we get the IR version working.
Printers to Mills
I have a number of canon printers (high quality stuff) to teardown, scrap, and salvage. The printers include steel rods, stepper motors, drivers, and other cool components. Is it enough stuff to make a RepRap? Let's find out.
Major components salvaged:
- High-polish precision steel rod, various lengths and diameters.
- 2xPower supply, 5/24VDC @ 1/1A
- 4-wire stepper motors. 24v, Bipolar, various steps/revolution
- QH4-4484 Mabuchi/Canon motor: 38mm long x 28mm dia, shaft 7mm x 2mm dia
- 12v? 24v? W=VI?
- 34V 470- and 1000- uF capacitors
- Various driver chips: ULN2803A, L298HN, L6210, TB62202AF, A3953SB
Testing power supplies and junk: i470d psu works as labeled canon bj-200 PSU: 1 G (white) 2 +24 3 G 4 +24 5 G 6+5
Stepper motor control
Using aforementioned driver chips, how do I make the motor move?
Construction of the mills
An order from SDP/SI, McMaster, and ebay later, we are ready to begin. The hardware is straightforward: We will use the bloominglabs bandsaw to cut some shapes out of wood for the body, but they will ave to be proportioned to the rods and leadscrews we are using.
We have many nice rods now, and 2 each of several lengths. approx. 14", 11", and 9", which will be used for the x, y and z axes respectively. That means the footprint of the mill will be 14x11" or so. The x table will be an bit shorter, to make up for the thickness of the material on the left and right sides supporting the y axis, so 10" perhaps, and half as long as the axis it rides on, so around 6 or 7 inches.
After brief discussion of fabrication methods, it's been informally decided to be informal about the construction, as any repeatability of our dimensions would require the same rods, and therefore perhaps the same printers.
- buy r4 zz bearings
- buy plain sleeve bearings for oddly-diametered rods
- check: do we have drill bits to match all the holes we want to make? If not, buy those too
- cut wood to square, rectangle, and L shapes(rectangle with rectangle cut out)
- drill matched holes in wood frame
- assemble spindle: collet, shaft, bushing, bearings, collar, tubing, motor
- mount rods and bearings in unassembled frame
- assemble frame
- x axis
- y axis
- z axis
- mount motors to assembled frame
We can cast aluminum and have a drill press, so I'm pretty sure we can make a lathe somehow. More to come on this I hope.

Recording Industry Lobbyists Accuse Pandora Of Deliberately Not Selling Ads To Plead Poverty To Congress
from the right,-and-the-labels-just-need-to-sell-more-albums dept
But their latest blog post really takes public cluelessness to new and impressive levels. It's a response to the news that Pandora's listener base has been growing. That should be celebrated, but, as Pandora has been pointing out for ages, thanks to the crazy high royalty rates that it has to pay SoundExchange (which are many times the rates of satellite radio and infinitely larger than terrestrial radio, since terrestrial radio has an exemption from performance royalties) it is close to impossible for Pandora to ever be profitable. Even worse (for musicians, the industry and the public) these crazy high rates means a lot less competition, fewer new authorized services and a smaller market overall. Pandora has been seeking more reasonable rates that would actually allow it to provide more services and to grow the overall pie even more by adding more value. However, so far, that's been cost-prohibitive given how much goes out the door to SoundExchange.
So, along comes MusicFIRST with the "solution" to all of Pandora's profitability problems: sell more ads. No, that's not a joke. They seriously seem to think that Pandora's problem is that it has chosen to take on less revenue and that all it has to do is turn the knob up and sell more ads:
As economist Jeff Eisenach testified last year regarding Pandora royalties, "the ratio of Pandora's content costs to its revenues is within Pandora's control: To raise its revenues, it need only choose to sell additional advertising" or find other ways to cash in on its popular and successful product.As someone who relies on advertising for a portion of my income, I wish musicFIRST had just told me all along that the fact that ad rates are so low and that fill rates are so dismal on advertising all across the internet is because I just wasn't trying enough and that I'd purposely been "limiting revenues." Why don't we just flip that one around? Perhaps the reason that the major labels and SoundExchange have been making so little money is that they're not selling enough. All they need to do is sell more and all their problems are solved. No need to go plead poverty to Congress and demand a jacking up of rates, since -- by their own logic -- they just need to sell more, and clearly, that's easy. If they're not selling more, it's because they've decided to limit revenue.
Pandora is choosing to limit revenues for now by keeping advertising low and attracting customers to its free service tier.... It's no reason to plead poverty in the face of massive audience growth and "better than expected" earnings reports.
Stories like this make you wonder if anyone actually takes musicFIRST seriously.
Separately, musicFIRST trots out the lamest trope in the book in the attacks on Pandora: focusing on the value of the company and the equity its founders hold. Only someone who is deliberately misleading or completely clueless on basic financial issues would equate a company's valuation with revenue. The two are wholly different beasts. And yet, these lobbyists pretend that the equity that Pandora execs hold somehow is taken unfairly from artists. That, of course, makes no sense if you actually understand the difference between equity and revenue. Any artist could have had the same equity if they had built Pandora. They didn't, so they don't.

Millionaire Kills Two and Buys His Way Out of Jail
A recent story about millionaire Ryan LeVin bypassing jail time with the help of money has infuriated people in his home state of Florida and across the U.S., as well.
In February 2010, while racing his Porsche against a friend's BMW in Fort Lauderdale, he ran into and killed two British tourists and then fled the scene.
It wasn't the first time LeVin hit a pedestrian in his car. Last February he was still on probation for running into a police officer in 2006. After the second accident, he faced up to 45 years in prison.
Despite a history of poor driving, LeVin was only ordered to pay restitution fees to the victims' families along with two years of house arrest. According to the judge, extended prison time wasn't as important as monetarily compensating the families.
In the meantime, Illinois officials say they want to extradite LeVin back to the state for a parole

Insurance may narrow race gap in access to surgery
Wider insurance coverage erased racial differences in who got minimally invasive surgery in Massachusetts, according to a new study.
After the state increased access to insurance in 2006, racial disparities in the proportion of people having gallbladders or appendixes removed with minimally invasive techniques - versus traditional "open" surgery - disappeared, researchers found.
"The Massachusetts experience provides a really unique and natural experiment to measure the effect of insurance expansion," Dr. Andrew Loehrer, the study's lead author from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said.
Still, Loehrer also urged caution in applying these results to the nationwide expansion of insurance under the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare.
"Massachusetts is unique among states for many reasons in terms of healthcare delivery," he said.
Minimally invasive surgery, also called laparoscopic surgery, is the preferred way to remove gallbladders and appendixes. The technique is tied to fewer side effects, shorter recovery times and shorter hospitalizations, the researchers write in JAMA Surgery.
During laparoscopic surgery, a doctor makes small incisions into which very thin instruments and a tiny camera are inserted, and the organ is often removed through the same small opening.
Previous research has shown that minorities are less likely to receive minimally invasive surgery, compared to whites. That difference has been partially linked to gaps in insurance.
In 2006, Massachusetts reformed its healthcare system to increase the number of people with insurance. The changes included an expansion of Medicaid, the government-run health insurance program for the poor, and requiring people to purchase insurance.
Loehrer and his colleagues analyzed data on the 10,917 appendix and gallbladder removals between 2001 and 2009 to see if the state's insurance expansion had any effect on the racial gap among people receiving minimally invasive surgery.
The researchers compared their state's numbers to 156,643 appendix and gallbladder removals in six other states: New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Arizona, Florida and Washington.
Before the 2006 reforms, the probability of black and Hispanic patients receiving minimally invasive surgery in Massachusetts was about 5.2 percentage points lower than for whites. That compared to about a 1.4 percentage point difference between the same patient groups in the other states.
After the reforms, the researchers found no difference in the probability of minorities or whites receiving the less invasive procedures in Massachusetts.
In contrast, there was growing disparity within the six other states. Collectively, they saw the probability of minority patients receiving minimally invasive surgery expand to about 3.2 percentage points lower than for whites.
Loehrer said it could be that black and Hispanic patients who gained insurance during the reforms may have started going to their primary care doctors more. That would allow their conditions to be caught earlier and make them better candidates for minimally invasive surgery.
Amresh Hanchate, an assistant professor at the Boston University School of Medicine, echoed that idea: "In this study, it's much more likely that people who have symptoms will go to the doctor (after insurance expansion) sooner and will be better candidates for the minimally invasive surgery."
Hanchate, who was not involved in the new study, said the findings do not surprise him, because he published similar results on racial disparities in Massachusetts among people undergoing more major operations on other parts of the body.
"Here in Massachusetts we have a real-life experiment to answer that question and at least here it says increasing insurance coverage has a real effect on those disparities," Loehrer said.

I would have aded a bit more context though - by drawing WHAT it is they are reacting to. They are watching the SUPERFRIENDS and the gags in the story depend upon knowing some things about the animation in the SUPERFRIENDS - like the fact that they have flesh colored eyes, or that the xerox pencil lines look really itchy. You'd want to SHOW that on the TV screen first and make it obvious to the audience.
this would all be quickly sketched out and the order of the sketches would be moved around until we get the best possible flow of the ideas and story -which is what we'll do at the story workshop next week.)
It might be funny to contrast the lively acting in the Slab N Ernie cartoon
John K Stuff: STORYBOARD WORKSHOP AUDITION - SLAB N ERNIE
The gag at the end here - or the setup to it is that Ernie is about to color Slab's eyes "Flesh Color" like in the Superfriends. I would go in close to focus on the crayon and Slab's eyes so you can see what happens.
