A Sneinton charity which works with children and vulnerable adults has joined a call to reform government caps on jackpot prizes and help provide millions of pounds to good causes.
SEND Project relies on grant funding through sources such as The Health Lottery East Midlands.
The amount of tickets local society lotteries can sell and the jackpot prize is limited by a government cap.
SEND, which has been operating for 14 years and is based in the Greenway Centre in Sneinton, are supporting a campaign to increase jackpot prizes for society lotteries.
The arts charity runs workshops, courses and projects for people aged 10 to 25.
The Lotteries Council said by lifting the cap, money raised for 2,800 local charities like SEND could increase by £125million over the next five years.
It is calling for jackpot levels to be risen to £1million, freeing charities from government red tape.
Moon Cavanagh, 43, SEND Project director, said: "Good causes such as ours rely on grant funding through sources like The Health Lottery East Midlands.
“It concerns us that the law limits the ability of society lotteries to generate the maximum possible for community groups and other organisations working within communities.
"In tight fiscal times, lotteries are a great way to raise money for charities like us who operate on a shoestring budget.
"We have faced crippling cuts. The council has done everything in its power to help but the youth service has been decimated.
"I am happy to petition this with the government. Even if we looked at sharing a percentage of the sales rather than raising the cap.
"Lottery playing is not seen as problem in gambling so it would be okay to increase sale limits."
Tony Vick, Lotteries Council Chairman, added: “Removing the bottleneck by increasing sales limits combined with increasing the jackpot to £1million, regardless of sales levels, will dramatically increase funds raised for good causes.
"The benefit of these reforms is estimated to be a boost to charities of £25 million a year, or £125 million over the next five years.
“Independent research has shown that there has been no detriment to the National Lottery as a result of the growth in charity lottery sales over the last few years. The ultimate winners will be thousands of charities across the country.”
A spokesman for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: “Society lotteries make an important difference to communities across the country, and raise hundreds of millions of pounds every year for good causes.
"We have recently consulted on a range of options, including increasing society lottery sales and prize limits, and are considering the evidence. We hope to respond in the first half of this year."

The much-celebrated film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has recently turned 60. His next venture ‘Heera Mandi’ is all set to release on Netflix. The much-anticipated project is based on Lahore’s brothel, Heera Mandi.
In his career span of nearly three decades, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has presented stories and characters of different reigns of the country. His debut film as director, ‘Khamoshi-The musical’ was about a catholic girl of Goa, ‘Devdas’ was based on popular Bengali novel while ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ‘Ram Leela’ were on the backdrop of Gujarat and ‘Saanwariya’ had female lead from Muslim backdrop. Also Read : Legendary Amrish Puri’s Punjabi Movies You Might Not Be Knowing!
His production ‘Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi’ was directed by his sister Bela Segal based on Parsi community while 'Mary Kom' was the life story of national sports person from much Northeast. With ‘Guzaarish’ he went back to Goan backdrop. Also Read : The Punjabi Version Of Khalra Was Deep Sidhu’s Last Project On Paper!
Bhansali’s most ambitious ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was about a Maratha King while ‘Padmaavat’s story belonged to land of Rajasthan and his last released, ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ was about a Gujarati girl who is forced into prostitution and end up leading her entire life in a brothel of Maharashtra.
So, basically, his films and characters came from different reigns of India but it is surprising that when almost every other Hindi film would show Punjabi characters, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has not attempted or produced anything on much in demand backdrop in films.
When His debut film, ‘Khamoshi’ did not do well, he started working on the script of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. He was advised to make the film on the Punjabi backdrop instead of Gujarat but Sanjay Leela Bhansali felt being a Gujarati, he could present the story, characters and over all look with clear vision rather than stereotypical Punjabi backdrop in a Hindi film. Thanks to Punjabi diaspora abroad, Hindi films started getting huge chunk of returns from abroad.
So, a Punjabi song or Punjabi characters in the Hindi film has always been seen as a safe bet. Despite the fact, ace-filmmaker did not play safe and refused to change the backdrop even though he took services of Punjabi writer Amrik Gill for the dialogues of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. In Hindi films even if characters or story is not connected to Punjab or Punjabi makers, it still made a place for Punjabi songs in their films but none of his directorial had any song with Punjabi lyrics. Also Read : “10 Lakh Ki Opening Nahin Hoti, 90 Lakh Fees Quote Karte Hain” – Jaivi Dhanda On Zareen Khan Starrer ‘Pathankot’!
Though it’s not like Sanjay Leela Bhansali did not try to attempt stories from Punjab. He was planning to make a film on 1947 with Bobby Deol in 90s, but shelved the idea as around same time another film, ‘Train To Pakistan’ was being made on the same subject then there was a strong buzz that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is planning to make a film based on the life of Indian novelist, essayist and poet, Amrita Pritam but as of now he is not working on this subject. With Heera Mandi (a brothel in pre- partition in Lahore, Punjab) which was originally in Punjab before partition, now finally there is a project of Bhansali which will have a Punjabi connection.

Another nine 2022/23 UEFA Nations League games are to be played on Saturday, as Spain bid to become the first team from League A to qualify for next June’s finals.
Luis Enrique’s men, who were runners-up in the 2020/21 Nations League, host Switzerland in Group A2 knowing they’ll be through to the last four if they win and Portugal lose to the Czech Republic. The Swiss will be relegated to League B if they suffer defeat in Zaragoza and the Czechs beat the Portuguese in Prague.
In the second tier, meanwhile, three countries have the opportunity to clinch promotion to League A. The Scots will go up from Group B1 if they defeat the Republic of Ireland and Ukraine fail to beat Armenia, while in Group B2, Israel will secure their League A berth if they see off Albania. In Group B4, Norway will be promoted if they beat Slovenia and Serbia fail to win against Sweden, or if the Norwegians draw in Ljubljana and the Serbs are defeated in Belgrade.
Armenia will drop down to League C if they lose to Ukraine and Ireland beat Scotland, and Slovenia will also be relegated if they’re defeated and Sweden secure victory over Serbia.
To find out which broadcaster is showing the Nations League if you’re outside the US, take a look at this UEFA list.

They have been ordered to compete as the Football Union of Russia.
Bosnia-Herzegovina have also agreed to play Russia in a friendly in November – a move heavily criticised by Bosnian international midfielder Miralem Pjanic, who has described himself as “speechless” at the decision. The Russians were also due to face Iran in November, but an Irani Football Federation official told the country’s media on Thursday that the game has now been called off.

Do you remember singing “Have You Seen the Ghost of John?” around Halloween when you were in elementary school? Or maybe you learned it as “Have You Seen the Ghost of Tom?” Either way, you’ve probably heard this spooky song at some point. But maybe imagining John’s white bones doesn’t scare you the way it used to. Here’s a new rendition that’s sure to strike fear in the heart of most adults:
Have you seen the pay of John?
He got sick, now the income’s long-gone.
Can’t pay his bills; his account’s overdrawn.
How Our Fears Change
As we grow older, our fears change, but they don’t disappear. The thought of monsters lurking in our closets might not keep us up anymore, but we still lose sleep to other worries. What happens if we become sick? How will we provide for our families? What if we lose the house? These are the fears that keep adults awake at night.
As a child, you might have had a special blanket or teddy bear to protect you from the monsters. As an adult, you need more sophisticated protection. You need insurance coverage.
Help Clients Face Their Fears This Halloween
Halloween is the perfect time to address some very serious fears in a fun and lighthearted way. Just as plastic skeletons can make us laugh in the face of our own mortality, the holiday can also be used to help adults face their fears of spiders, ghosts and, yes, even disability.
For many adults, disability and financial ruin are very real fears, and disability insurance offers important protection. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t want to spend time dwelling on these fears – and that means they may not purchase disability insurance.
This Halloween, help your clients face their fears. We have a complete Halloween campaign that includes a frighteningly fun email, a Halloween-themed stat pack, and three Halloween-themed social media posts. You can even share excerpts from this article in your own e-newsletter.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case filed by a Texas woman who says that her due process rights were violated when the police seized over $200,000 in cash from her family despite the fact that no one has been convicted of any underlying crime associated with the money. Unfortunately, thanks to the state's sweeping civil asset forfeiture laws, the authorities were permitted to take the money of this innocent woman.
The Supreme Court offered no explanation today for its refusal to hear the case of Lisa Olivia Leonard v. Texas. But one member of the Court did speak up. In a statement respecting the denial of certiorari in the case, Justice Clarence Thomas made it clear that he believes the current state of civil asset forfeiture law is fundamentally unconstitutional.
"This system—where police can seize property with limited judicial oversight and retain it for their own use—has led to egregious and well-chronicled abuses," Thomas declared.
Furthermore, he wrote, the Supreme Court's previous rulings on the matter are starkly at odds with the Constitution, which "presumably would require the Court to align its distinct doctrine governing civil forfeiture with its doctrines governing other forms of punitive state action and property deprivation." Those other doctrines, Thomas noted, impose significant checks on the government, such as heightened standards of proof, various procedural protections, and the right to a trial by jury. Civil asset forfeiture proceedings, by contrast, offer no such constitutional safeguards for the rights of person or property.
But because Lisa Olivia Leonard "raises her due process arguments for the first time in this Court," Thomas concluded, the Supreme Court has no business weighing in until the lower court has properly considered those arguments first.
That's bad news for Lisa Olivia Leonard. But there is a silver lining for all critics of civil asset forfeiture. When the right case does finally come along, Justice Thomas insisted today, SCOTUS should tackle the unconstitutional practice head on.

Difficulty: Super Easy
Recently it was my niece’s first birthday party and I was in charge of catering, of course! I decided to veganise some classic party recipes and this one was obvious. Traditionally, chocolate crackles are made with cocoa and shortening but I decided to make them more delicious by using real chocolate, white and dark. If you would like to make the chocolate go a bit further, add some vegetable shortening. Needless to say, these went down a treat. A must to put on your radar for the next party!
- 5 cups rice bubbles
- 1 250gram block dark chocolate (I use Whittaker’s)
- 2 1/2 100gram blocks white chocolate (I use Sweet William)
- Place half of the rice bubbles in one large bowl and the rest in another.
- Carefully melt your white chocolate, I do this in the microwave but if you prefer another method, go ahead!
- Pour the melted white chocolate over one bowl of rice bubbles and mix until all the bubbles are coated.
- Spoon out into six patty pans.
- Repeat steps 2-4 with the dark chocolate.
- Refridgerate for at least one hour to set, but you should leave them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Penny from Tigerlily Weddings had a dream. She wanted to create a platform to showcase the best of UK’s talent in the wedding industry and beyond. After months and months of hard work, her efforts has paid off, and Love Scarlett was born.
Love Scarlett is a beautifully designed online journal, featuring a team of people, including fitness instructors, sommeliers, photographers, DJs, and hair and make-up artists, to name a few. By letting the normally ‘behind-the-scenes’ wedding suppliers have a platform, Love Scarlett aims to educate and enlighten people, whether they’re getting married, or just want to be inspired.
I’m proud to be one of the partners, you could view some of my work on the journal here, here, and here. I will also be doing more how-to’s, shoots and events with the team, including workshops, so keep an eye out for them!
I hope that Love Scarlett will inspire you as much as it inspires me. I’m looking forward to watching this precious flower grow.
Recently I’ve been involved in a lot of exciting projects which I’m pleased to share with you. The year is drawing to an end, and I’m so privileged to have worked among the industry’s finest!!
You might remember my post on Jasmine Star’s Workshop a while ago. It has since been published in the December/January issue of Wedding Magazine, one of the biggest publications in the wedding industry.
Dashing Magazine is a brand new online magazine designed for the ‘stylish and spirited girl’, and is the brainchild of Fanni, Josie and Charley. I was asked to do a sixties-inpired photoshoot with the Wonderwoman Emma Case, check out the story here (our shoot is on page 70 – 77) Be sure to subscribe to the magazine, it’s full of beautiful content, and has such a fresh design, perfect for lunchtime reads!!!
See Hear, a program by the BBC focusing on the deaf community, did a feature on the amazing photographer, Ashton Jean-Pierre’s work. Kat from Rock ‘n Roll Bride asked me to do her (and husband Gareth’s!) hair and make-up, as they were the models for the shoot. Ashton mainly shoots in film, I simply love the raw quality of his work! You could check out the full shoot here, and the program on BBC iPlayer here.
A while ago Penny from Tigerlily Weddings asked me if I’d like to become involved in a shoot she’s planning for Miss Bush Bridal, a fabulous bridal boutique in Surrey, to showcase the new Jenny Packham collection. She wanted to do 5 looks, with an editorial edge to it (nothing frou-frou about this one!) The beautiful dresses worked perfectly in this majestic setting, and Penny decided on a doll theme as inspiration. Everyone on the team complemented each other’s style on the shoot, and it was such a pleasure to work on something that flows so well!
I was responsible for the hair on the shoot (see the full contributor list below)
Here’s how I created the looks:
For the Hippie Doll I firstly tonged the hair, then brushed it out with my fingers to create a ‘worn-in’ wave.
I wanted to keep a bit of movement throughout the Sexy Doll’s hair, so I softly curled the ends, then backcombed the crown area for volume.
For the Vintage Doll I first set the model’s hair in rollers, then ‘roped’ it, and pinned the ringlets in varying sizes for a softer feel.
The Rock Doll’s hair: I shook out her Hippie Doll hair, backcombed the crown, brushed it over a hair rat (a hairpiece used to bulk out hair!) and pinned it into a bouffant.
The Audrey Doll’s hair was pinned up in a Breakfast in Tiffany’s styled updo, but I kept some texture in the look to keep it soft.
Please take a look at the full shoot on Love My Dress and the brilliant photographer, Eddie Judd’s blog.
A while ago I met up with Josie from Savoir Weddings, she had incredible ideas for a inspirational photoshoot and wanted me to get involved. I left that Brixton Cafe inspired, that lady sure knows how to get that right! In short, we were planning to do a romantic shoot with two girls, in a Marie Antoinette meets Jane Austen shoot, but without any clichéd macaron-scoffing-tea-drinking happenings. We wanted to push the boundaries a bit, and I think everyone complemented each other beautifully!
Josie got a dream team involved (full list at the end of post) and one sunny morning in August we set off to Peckham Rye Park to do the shoot. What started out as a idea over a bottle of cider, ended up being an amazing high-end shoot without any fluff, and I’m proud to share it with you! Everyone understood the brief perfectly, and I’m a very lucky girl to have worked with true professionals!
I have selected a few images of hair and make-up, but please click HERE and HERE for more!
So it’s been a while since my last post (sorry!) but I just thought that rather than posting something that has been said before in other beauty blogs, I had to work on what people actually WANT to see. (Feel free to rant, babble, spill your dreams in the comments!)
Ok, so there are BIG THINGS happening in the near future, all will be revealed soon! In the meantime, why don’t you check out the sneak preview of the Rock n Riot shoot I did with Rock ‘n Roll Bride? A full list of suppliers and more about the day of awesomeness will be released soon, but here is a iPhone pic I took:
In similarly exciting news, I’ve been asked to do the make-up for Jasmine Star‘s UK workshop in July!!! For those of you who don’t know, this amazing photographer has taken the world by storm with her workshops on branding, and for the first time, she will be in London for an inspiring day, sharing her experiences and helping other photographers improve their brands.
I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing project, and can’t wait to share my experience!
Ok, so here’s what I need from you…
I have already asked on twitter earlier what people would like to read on a wedding hair and make-up blog (things that haven’t been repeated over and over again!) Now is your chance to help build the blog into something useful for future brides… so…. GO!!!
My Boyfriend’s Jeans is a project I’ve been working on with photographers Kirill Kuletski and Aiga Ozo. Shot at their studio, London Fields Studio, it’s a quirky take on menswear on girls. Check out the full series on their website: www.londonfieldsstudio.com. Clothing by Trousers London, an amazing high-end fashion label focusing on denim for men. (How awesome are these babies?)

Health Resources and Services Administration
Office of Rural Health Policy
September 12-14, 2007
The 57th meeting of the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services was held on September 12-14, 2007 in Madison, Wisconsin.
The meeting was convened by Vice Chairman Larry Otis. The Chairman, Governor David Beasley, was unable to attend. Mr. Otis reviewed the agenda for the meeting and announced that it would be the last meeting for several members whose terms have expired. These members are Susan Birch, Arlene Jackson Montgomery, Heather Reed, Tim Size, Lenard Kaye, Ron Nelson, Bessie Freeman, Sister Janis Otis, and Joseph Gallegos.
The Committee members present at the meeting were: Susan Birch, RN, MBA; Paul Craig, PhD, A.B.P.P.; Bessie Freeman-Watson; Joseph Gallegos, M.B.A.; Sharon Hanson; David Hewett; Thomas Hoyer, MBA; Lenard Kaye, D.S.W.; Clint Mackinney, MD, MS; Arlene Jackson Montgomery, Ph.D.; Michael Meit, MPH; Ron Nelson, P.A.; Larry K. Otis; Patti Patterson, M.D.; Heather Reed; Tom Ricketts, Ph.D.; Tim Size, MBA; and Julia Sosa. Mr. Dennis Dudley attended representing the U.S. Administration on Aging.
The members unable to attend were: Karen Perdue; Sister Janice Otis; and Governor David Beasley.
Present from the Office of Rural Health Policy were: Tom Morris, Erica Molliver, Carrie Cochran, Jennifer Chang, Judy Herbstman, and Nina Meigs.
Mr. Winters presented information on the demographics of Wisconsin and significant population and workforce issues. He emphasized that the workforce in Wisconsin will be declining while the total population is growing. The major ramification of these trends is slower economic growth. The labor force participation rate is still among the highest in the country and the unemployment rate still remains low relative to the U.S. average. Most industries are growing except for manufacturing. Industry wage rates are low relative to the U.S. averages. Nevertheless, there have been significant gains in wages for health care workers. The stagnant population in Wisconsin coupled with a declining workforce poses a major challenge for the State.
Larry Otis asked about the percentage of the workforce employed in manufacturing jobs. The speaker replied that the high percentage of manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin is both a blessing and a threat given a national trend in manufacturing decline.
Dave Hewett asked about the role of technology in replacing workers and trends in employment for the elderly. Mr. Winters responded that technology always plays a role and that more output does not necessarily result in higher wages. He also noted that labor participation by the elderly was increasing somewhat, but not enough to compensate for labor shortages.
Mr. Eich presented maps and data to highlight some of the major rural health care issues in Wisconsin. Population growth is less rapid in Wisconsin’s rural areas than in urban areas of the State. Some rural areas are losing population. Retirees are placing increased demands on scarce health services in Northern parts of the State. Poor health outcomes are much more prevalent in rural areas of the State than in urban communities. Issues facing rural hospitals include costly regulatory oversight, workforce shortages, shortening hospital stays, increased costs, and potential negative effects from the Medicare Advantage Program. There are 59 Critical Access Hospitals, the 6th largest group in the nation. There are 16 Community Health Centers operating at 85 sites. A shortage of dental providers is a significant problem in rural areas and the number of dentists is in decline. Only a small percentage of Medicaid recipients are able to access dental services. Mr. Eich discussed ongoing efforts in dental recruitment, including proposals for a new dental school, for loan repayment and new community-based incentives. Other issues include shortages of mental health workers, declining numbers of volunteers for emergency medical services, and poor health status indicators for the ten registered Tribal Nations in Wisconsin.
Susan Birch inquired about the public health system in Wisconsin. Mr. Eich replied that the system draws funds and mandates from both state and local, and there can be strained relations between agencies at the two levels. The State has been cutting back on public health resources.
Dr. Golden provided an overview of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) and described how the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine (WARM) is addressing geographic shortages and the maldistribution of physicians in rural Wisconsin. Twenty-five percent of Wisconsin residents live in rural areas, but only 11% of physicians practice at rural sites. WARM is a program within SMPH dedicated to encouraging more students to practice in rural areas. They will increase the size of WARM student classes to 25 students over the next five years. The admissions process will be structured to identify students with an affinity for rural practice. WARM students will spend their third and fourth years of medical school in regional and rural learning communities. The first group will be hosted by the Marshfield Clinic and future groups will be hosted in other rural settings. The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, a partnership between the University of Wisconsin, the Marshfield Clinic, and other entities will offer students the opportunity to participate in research activities and is designed to rapidly move research from the laboratory to clinical care. Dr. Golden also talked about the Wisconsin Medical Scholars’ Program, which is transitioning from a scholarship for rural High School students to a scholarship for students attending rural UW campuses.
Tim Size asked if Dr. Golden had any thoughts that the Committee should transmit to the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Dr. Golden responded that the Department should foster an approach to the recruitment and retention of rural providers that covers a continuum of activities, not just recruitment and training. Examples are loan forgiveness programs and team-building programs for physicians and nurses, as well as programs for the allied health workforce.
Secretary Gassman spoke about the Wisconsin Works (W-2) welfare program and the Governor’s new directions for Wisconsin health policy. She stated that Governor Jim Doyle inherited a record state deficit in 2003, and has sought to address a deteriorating economy and high unemployment. The Governor has resolved the deficit without raising taxes and unemployment is down. Workforce development has been at the heart of the Governor’s agenda for addressing economic issues. Secretary Gassman briefly described the workforce development programs in her Department. These programs emphasize training and placement services, support for working families, greater opportunities for real work experiences, agency accountability, and improved customer services. Caseloads for the W-2 program have declined dramatically since 1997. Major reasons for the decline are a growing economy, more employment opportunities, and improvements to the W-2 program. Rural caseloads are the lowest in seven years. Last year there were 5,133 job placements in rural areas and the pay for these jobs is going up. The rural poor face substantial barriers in the fight against poverty, including limited child care services, little or no public transportation, and fewer job opportunities. Secretary Gassman spoke about local rural transportation initiatives that are helping poor families finance the purchase of cars. She closed her presentation by reviewing some of the Governor’s other initiatives to create new jobs, increase the minimum wage, and improve access to health care in rural areas.
Dave Hewett asked about health insurance for W-2 clients. Secretary Gassman said that the State is trying to get most clients into jobs that include health insurance coverage. Local agencies and employers have been pushed in this direction.
Lenard Kaye asked about civic engagement and creative workforce opportunities for seniors. The speaker answered that labor shortages in the State call for as much senior participation in the workforce as possible. Flexible hours and other incentives are encouraged to attract seniors. There is a focus to retain the disabled population in the workforce and there are efforts to retain health care workers in their jobs beyond retirement age.
Larry Otis asked if Secretary Gassman had any recommendation for the Secretary, DHHS. She replied by expressing concern for the decrease in federal funds for employment training programs. She also called for closer integration of programs at the Department of Labor and DHHS, stating that program integration is an important issue for policy makers at all levels. She called for greater flexibility in the use of federal funds and program waivers.
Mr. Hayden presented on Wisconsin’s plans for improving access to health care. He began with a message to the Secretary, DHHS urging support of state plans to become active purchasers of health care. He also called for federal funds to support electronic health care records and telehealth. In Wisconsin the Governor’s vision is for universal access, lower health care costs, and higher quality care. Under a Federally approved program entitled SeniorCare, the State negotiates directly with drug manufacturers and gives more than 102,000 seniors access to prescription drugs. A family care program gives seniors and the disabled more choices on where to live by providing the support services they need to stay at home. The program has created cost savings and has ended waiting lists for community services. The Governor plans to expand Aging and Disability Resource Centers to cover 75% of the population by 2009. Changes have been made to the Food Stamp Program to streamline eligibility requirements and make it easier for families to qualify. In health care the biggest rural concerns include access to dental and mental health services, as well as stable financing for the Medicaid program. The goal is to ensure that 98% of Wisconsin residents have access to affordable health insurance – including all children. The State plans to implement Medicaid expansion for low-income adults in January 2009. Mr. Heyden expanded on the details of Wisconsin’s BadgerCare Plus plan and specific features of the plan that will address rural health care issues. An important feature of the plan is to expand non-traditional points of entry for Medicaid such as Boys/Girls Clubs, WIC, Head Start, and faith-based organizations. The new Medicaid program will also have a vastly streamlined eligibility process. He talked about efforts to reduce the cost of health insurance through tax deductions and other measures. Other initiatives include a raise in taxes on cigarettes; increased provider payment rates under Medicaid; establishment of a Healthy Wisconsin Authority to develop reinsurance programs for small businesses and explore other ways to reduce costs; programs to strengthen cooperatives to help farmers and small business purchase health care; improvements in the quality of care, including investment in electronic records; and a closer alignment of Wisconsin’s programs with federal partners.
Clint MacKinney raised the question of defining problem access areas when setting higher Medicaid payment rates. Mr. Hayden noted that half of the Wisconsin Medicaid population resides in five counties. He said that complaints about access are considered along with longer waiting periods for services and other problems with the delivery system.
Susan Birch asked about integration of health and social services. The speaker replied that the State is looking at the role of schools in health education, including immunizations in day-care, and that health literacy is high on the agenda.
Tim Size asked for the speaker’s ideas on the Committee’s topic of integration. Mr. Hayden stated that health literacy has to become integrated with the educational system. He also said that health practitioners must have a higher awareness that they are in the public health business.
Dave Hewett asked how the State was dealing with the tendency of private employers to pull back on health insurance when state programs are expanded. Mr. Hayden replied that the State was very much aware of the “crowd out” phenomena and was creating strategies through its Medicaid waiver provisions to avoid it. One such strategy is subsidized premiums for private insurance.
Dr. Brewer presented health care initiatives of the Toyota Motor Company at its manufacturing centers in North America. The company plans to establish a family health center at it new plant in Tupelo, Mississippi and at other locations throughout the country. Dr. Brewer began with a critique of health care issues related to the high cost of insurance premiums, growing numbers of the uninsured, global competitiveness, and rising health care costs experienced by the big three automobile producers-General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. He described Toyota’s strategy for dealing with increased costs through enhanced quality of care, improved access to quality facilities, appropriate access to health care data, and a focus on wellness and prevention. Employees at the Tupelo plant will have immediate access to a family health center located at the plant and staffed by primary care providers. The center will establish a network of care with local hospitals and specialty care providers. An integrated data system will track patients through the system and collect information for quality improvement initiatives. The integrated service model will facilitate and simplify patient flow through the health care system. The integrated strategy includes primary care education from physicians, a disease management model, direct provider contracting between Toyota and high quality local providers, and a consumer driven benefit plan design. He also talked about Toyota’s strategy for purchasing pharmaceuticals and their plans for an on-site pharmacy delivery system at Toyota plants.
Clint MacKinney asked about the quality measures that will be used to build the Toyota specility care network. Dr. Brewer said that price was not a consideration in building the network of specialty care providers. Instead, quality parameters were used to screen the network candidates. Price was used to select the network hospitals.
Susan Birch asked if Toyota contracted with Community Health Centers. The speaker replied that some mental health programs are with the Centers.
Tim Size asked about the implication of Toyota initiatives for smaller rural areas. Dr. Brewer noted that smaller companies have tried similar approaches with less elaborate clinics and pharmacies.
Several members commented on how the model might apply to less controlled environments with a less captive group of people. Dr. Brewer acknowledged problems in finding lessons that might be applied to other rural environments. However, he noted the trend among employers toward direct contracting with health care providers and said that much can be learned from the management approach taken by Toyota.
In response to the call for public comments, Mr. John Eich from the Wisconsin State Office of Rural Health encouraged the Committee to talk with the Secretary, DHHS about the need for additional funds to support health information technologies (HIT) in rural areas. He said that costs do not stop with the initial purchase of computers and that small rural hospitals will continue to need support in the HIT area for system maintenance.
The three Subcommittees met on Wednesday afternoon to continue their work on the annual report to the Secretary.
On Thursday morning the Committee departed for a site visit to the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative Office and Training Center in Sauk City, WI. The Committee divided into two groups to hear subject-related presentations.
On Thursday afternoon, the Full Committee reconvened for additional presentations.
Ms. Eleson spoke about the economic case for eliminating poverty, noting that childhood poverty reduces productivity, leads to poor health, and reduces economic growth in this country by about $500 billion each year. She said that about 192,000 Wisconsin Children live below the Federal Poverty Level and the number has been growing steadily since 2000. The number of Wisconsin children living in extreme poverty (50% of the federal poverty and less) has risen to 80,000 since 2000. There is a partnership between The Wisconsin Head Start Association, the Wisconsin Community Action Program Association, and The Wisconsin Council on Children and families that is working to address child poverty. The partnership has set measurable goals that include providing health insurance to all Wisconsin children by 2020. A second goal is to build a universally accessible system of childhood education in the State. Other goals are to expand affordable housing and increase access to quality jobs. The Partnership asks people to sign pledge cards supporting its goals and has developed a range of campaign tools to garner public support and produce policy changes.
Ms. Day spoke about the Ho-Chunk people and how the Nation is organized to provide health and social services. The Nation has over 3000 employees supported by grants, small business revenues, gaming facilities, and textile production. It differs from other Tribal Nations in Wisconsin by serving all members no matter where they live. The speaker described the Nation’s youth services programs, programs for the aged, and activities to address domestic violence. She also mentioned a child care voucher program, emergency financial assistance programs, and other social services provided by the Nation. Ms. Day discussed several measures that can be taken to assist the Nation. She called for collaboration between State, Tribal and Federal programs to accomplish these goals.
Ms. Freiberg said that the Center was founded in 1994 to serve isolated populations in three rural counties of Wisconsin, including Amish people, Medicaid recipients, and Hispanic populations. The Center offers a dental program and operates on a sliding fee scale, which Ms Freiberg believes strongly promotes health care access among the Amish and other uninsured populations without diminishing their dignity. With a budget of $4 million it is one of the biggest businesses in its community. She described the demographics of the community and some of the prevalent barriers to health care. Language and cultural barriers are always an issue and there are creative outreach programs directed at Hispanics and at the Amish. Ms. Freiberg offered policy considerations for the Committee in the following areas: access to oral health, the need for electronic medical records, prenatal care for undocumented women, confusing and conflicting federal definitions for migrant seasonal workers used by different federal programs, HPSA designations for pockets of rural isolated population, and workforce shortages.
Several members said they were impressed by the quality of leadership development programs in Wisconsin and the work of the Wisconsin Leadership Institute. The presentations were extremely provocative and helpful.
Susan Birch commented that the presentation on long-term care described a dramatic change toward family-based care.
Ron Nelson commented that the presentation on regulation of the Medicare Advantage Program highlighted the need for more Federal accountability. He said that the Committee should address this in the Report to the Secretary. Tim Size agreed to the need for greater State regulation and Tom Hoyer commented that the job has been too big for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS). State regulators must be given a role. Tom Hoyer added that the Committee should say in its report that it is aware of enforcement difficulties and that it supports proposed legislation to strengthen the role of State Insurance Commissioners.
Jennifer Chang summarized discussions by the Subcommittees during their meetings the previous day. Some of the common themes to emerge involve workforce issues, the higher initial and continued costs of health information technologies in rural areas, the need to support local leadership training programs for rural areas, and data collection issues for rural human services programs. Her summary prompted a discussion of “silo funding” issues and how to define and address their impact in rural areas.
Tom Hoyer suggested that the National Governors’ Association would be a likely place for information and a possible study of regulatory barriers to the integration of health and human services in rural areas. This sparked a more general discussion around the theme of integrated services and it became apparent that most members were uncomfortable with the term “integration” because it carries some negative connotations and is not inherently population focused. The Committee agreed that a more useful term for addressing issues of program coordination and collaboration would be “community development” and this will become the chapter heading in the Committee’s annual report.
Tom Ricketts said that there are some good examples of coordination and collaboration that the Committee should cite in the report and suggested that the Department’s evaluation funds could be used to study these models and perhaps fund demonstration programs.
Tim Size recommended that program guidances are just as important as regulation in the identification of barriers to collaborative efforts in rural areas.
Following this discussion, it was agreed that staff would draft the chapter on community development and circulate it for comment by the members.
Vice Chairman Otis opened the meeting with a call for recommendations from the Committee for inclusion in the Annual Report.
Tom Morris raised the issue of where to place the chapter on “A Retrospective on Rural Health” in the Annual Report. Some members advocated for this to be the lead chapter while others had thought it should be at the end of the report. A motion was approved to place it in the front of the report with careful editing to avoid redundancy with the other chapters.
Tim Size supported a recommendation for studies of where government funding agencies have erected barriers to collaboration among federal, state, and local programs. Tom Hoyer cautioned that funding silos are inevitable and even necessary, and that any recommendation must acknowledge the interests of funding agencies and their needs for accountability. Tom Ricketts agreed to draft some specific language for a recommendation that would call for a study to be conducted or sponsored by the National Governors’ Association (NGA). Tim Size warned that the NGA might not be able to speak to the challenges to integration experienced by the non-profit organizations.
Arlene Jackson Montgomery stressed the need for a recommendation on community leadership development, particularly in the area of public health. Larry Otis and others agreed with the need for strong leadership training programs. There will be recommendations to the Secretary in this area.
Dave Hewett recommended that the preamble to the report should highlight the fragility of rural health care providers and state that the special protections for these providers already in place will need to be sustained. More specifically, the report should stress the importance of rural Critical Access Hospitals. This theme is already in the draft recommendations and will be included in the final report.
Tom Hoyer said that human services organizations have not done as well with special protections because they do not have the same “business” infrastructure as health providers. The report needs to make this point.
Tim Size discussed disturbing trends in the workforces for health and human services. Funding has been reduced for workforce programs and the issue of access to dental services comes up in every discussion. There is a need to support dental schools that will actually produce dentists willing to serve underserved populations. Tom Ricketts agreed, and added that we need to support new well targeted dental programs, not the existing ones.
Clint MacKinney said that Senator Harkin has language in a farm bill that would support rural economic development. The staff will draft language for the Committee report that supports rural economic development.
Tim Size and Tom Hoyer commented that Wisconsin has been highly successful in obtaining Medicaid Waivers and that other states need to recognize that there is more flexibility available. There is an opportunity for the federal government to make more information available to the states. Tom Hoyer will draft a recommendation on states becoming more proactive with waivers. David Hewett warned that these waivers should not be approached or marketed as a solution for every state.
Tom Ricketts recommended amending the recommendation on program data collection to add a focus on state actions to review the Medicare Advantage pfgrogram and its impact in rural areas.
Clint MacKinney advocated a recommendation to study the impact of the Toyota model on rural communities. The study would look at the broader issue of business involvement with health care in rural communities. Staff will draft a recommendation in this area.
Tim Size and Tom Ricketts recommended that the Department should study the emergence of free clinics in rural areas to determine if they reflect a failure of the federal safety net programs.
Larry Otis recommended that the preamble to the report describe problems that arise from different federal definitions for undocumented workers. The report should comment on the need to clarify these definitions.
Sharon Hansen called for a recommendation supporting rural initiatives on Head Start and child poverty. The staff will review a previous recommendation in this area.
Tom Morris said that the staff would also draft a recommendation on rural transportation issues.
Tom Ricketts asked for a sentence or two on the role of States in the enforcement of regulations for the Medicare Advantage program. The staff will draft this language.
The next meeting will be held on February 20-22, 2008 in Washington D.C. Tom Morris and Committee members suggested some possible topics for the meeting, including medication management, health and human services workforce issue, Native American health issues, transportation, and community organization issues.
It was announced that the June 2008 meeting may be held in North Carolina.
Mr. Rick Walker from the Office of Performance Review Chicago Regional Office strongly urged the need to establish Community Health Centers in areas with the greatest need. He said that this topic would make a good future agenda item for the Committee. He also asked the Committee to lend its voice to the call for health care for all Americans.
The meeting was adjourned.

Under the control of a computer at The Scripps Research Institute, a population of billions of genes morphed through 500 cycles of forced adaptation to emerge as molecules that could grow faster and faster on a continually dwindling source of chemical fuel -- a feat that researchers describe as an example of "Darwinian evolution on a chip."
The super molecules that resulted, a species of RNA enzyme, were produced in about 70 hours using an automated tool that is about the size of a compact disc, according to the study published in the April issue of PLoS Biology. The Scripps Research investigators who designed the device note that the findings provide an example of the Darwinian principle of selective pressure at work, seen in real time.
"This is evolution at the level of molecules as a fact, not a theory," says the study's senior investigator, Gerald Joyce, Scripps Research professor in the Departments of Chemistry and Molecular Biology. "This is what it looks like when a computer controls conditions that push molecules to adapt in order to thrive--survival of the fittest on the smallest scale possible."
The evolved enzymes that resulted exhibited a new set of 11 mutations that improved their ability to survive under substrate-starvation conditions by 90-fold, compared to the starting molecules.
The study's first author, Brian Paegel, a postdoctoral researcher in Joyce's lab, noted that the study is the first of its kind. In previous research, scientists had managed to force adaptation in the test tube by manually adding and extracting ingredients. However, that technique produced an isolated snapshot rather than a dynamic overview of the evolution process.
"No one has been able to observe what the process looks like until now," Paegel says. "It's like before you could only see little bits of a fine painting. Now, we can step back and watch a complete picture of evolution happening at its most fundamental level, on a molecular scale."
Paegel and Joyce designed and patented the microfluidic device they used in the study. The device is basically a thin glass plate, four inches in diameter, with microscopic channels and valves that a computer can control to add or extract small amounts of material. The cost to construct a device is about $8.
Pushing the Limits of an Artificial Molecule
In this study, the scientists used artificial RNA enzymes based on molecules originally developed by David Bartel and Jack Szostak at Harvard Medical School, which were derived starting from completely random RNA sequences. These molecules had been used before in "test tube" evolution experiments carried out by manual methods. The molecules have the ability to catalyze the joining of other RNA molecules, similar to a large protein known as an RNA polymerase. In the system developed by Paegel and Joyce, an RNA molecule that performed this reaction would automatically be copied to produce molecular "progeny."
In the newly published study, Paegel and Joyce loaded the microfluidic device with billions of RNA enzymes and the RNA copying machinery. They then added the chemical fuel that the RNA enzymes must utilize in order to be copied. The scientists provided progressively lower concentrations of the fuel at set intervals, as a way to direct the evolution of the RNA enzymes. Every time the concentration was reduced, those RNA enzymes whose genetic features allowed them to withstand the more stringent conditions multiplied in greater numbers than RNA enzymes that were not so adapted. Each time the size of the population of molecules reached a predetermined level, the computer isolated 1/10 th of the population--which now contained higher numbers of successfully adapted RNA enzymes—and mixed it with a new supply of chemical fuel.
These steps were repeated automatically for 500 iterations of 10-fold growth followed by 10-fold dilution. "The competition between the RNA enzymes to scrape up the few substrates became progressively stiffer, and the variants of RNA enzymes that could bind fastest and tightest to the substrate fuel molecules won out," Paegel says.
"We starved these enzymes, pushing them to become better and faster at forming a bond so they could reproduce themselves," Joyce says. "This is like the evolution of animals that can survive food famines. Only here we can see it happen in 70 hours and we know why the mutations that constitute evolution in these molecules occurred. We witnessed the entire story."
Although RNA molecules are not "alive" in the classic sense, they evolve in the same way that viruses do, Paegel says. But unlike those pathogens, which need protective casings to survive, these molecules are not dangerous, he says, because they degrade quickly outside of the chip.
Besides offering a powerful demonstration of real-time evolution—which could also be used to study adaptation in proteins, viruses, and even cellular organisms--the technology may have a number of practical uses, the scientists say, although it was not designed with these in mind. For example, it may be possible to use the technology to create RNA enzymes that act as super chemical sensors. The technology might also be used to help in the design of new medicines by encouraging molecules to evolve to perform a desired function.
