2024 Legislative Priorities
The Patient’s Health is Always Job One
The Kentucky Hospital Association is taking a leading role in tackling complex and thorny issues dealing with the delivery of quality health care and providing for the security of health care providers. Kentucky’s hospitals call on Kentucky policymakers to partner with us for the good health of our people.
There is no free market in health care and Kentucky’s hospitals encourage policymakers to remember that hospitals occupy an unusual position as both a business and a public service to their communities. Unlike any other health care provider, the hospital is open to serve patients twenty-four hours per day, 365 days a year, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay.
Hospital financing is multifaceted and not subject to quick fixes and one-size-fits-all solutions. Public policy theory, no matter how brilliantly conceived, is no substitute for the facts on the ground, which dictate the manner in which hospitals actually must operate. The hospital funding system has developed over time in response to numerous federal interventions and, while it is far from ideal, it is the reality in which hospitals must function to serve our patients.
Kentucky’s hospitals urge policymakers to support the Certificate of Need program and other programs that allow hospitals to provide services to their patients despite a plethora of federal laws and regulations that burden the delivery of care.
The Certificate of Need program (CON) serves a valuable function allowing hospitals to safely invest in expensive plant and equipment needed to treat patients. The CON program also helps to preserve the quality of care for our patients by keeping standards high.
While opinions vary about specific aspects of the CON program and the program may require updating from time to time, the CON program plays a critical role in supporting a level playing field among providers and is particularly important to those serving vulnerable communities.
Kentucky outperforms non-CON states by a number of measures. Our hospitals’ prices and costs are among the lowest in the nation and they compare favorably to neighboring states.
According to various studies Kentucky ranks better than non-CON states in providing access to care and total per capita health care costs are less than the national average and superior to nearby non-CON states like Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
The health care regime in the United States is a government driven system largely operating outside of free market principles. Hospitals do not have pricing power because payment rates are set by federal authorities who run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Further, federal law in the form of The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires hospitals, unlike any other business, or health care provider, to treat any patient coming into the emergency room of the hospital regardless of their insurance or ability to pay. This is an unfunded mandate faced by no other business.
The CON program is an acknowledgement that a non-free market requires other government intervention in the operations of health care services.
KHA supports retaining CON for new beds, ambulatory surgical centers, birthing centers, expensive technology, or where sufficient volumes are needed to insure good outcomes.
Significant issues of patient health and safety surround the establishment and operation of a free-standing birthing center and our doctors have recommended that these facilities be moved to the State Health Plan where they will be subject to formal review under the Certificate of Need Program.
Because birthing centers are not currently a part of the state health plan, they are considered under the non-substantive review process to receive a certificate of need. Under this process, there is a presumption of need in favor of the CON applicant.
Any legislation seeking to advance the building of free-standing birthing centers should, at a minimum, require the facility to be under the direction of an obstetrician, require that both the facility and each clinical provider be fully insured for medical malpractice, and require the facility to have an active written transfer agreements with the local ambulance service, and the local hospital.
Hospitals are not opposed to patients having options but our first concern is always with the patient’s health and safety. Removing free-standing birthing centers from CON would be a misguided step in a state with some of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the country.
Kentucky’s hospitals call on the legislature to maintain the integrity of the CON program for free-standing birthing centers. The hospital obstetrics community finds the non-substantive review standard is too low a bar, it is critical for the health, safety, and lives of patients that any free-standing birthing center meet minimum safety, medical oversight, and insurance requirements.
In the 2023 Regular Session, the Kentucky General Assembly adopted SB 80, which declares it a felony to assault a health care provider in the Emergency Department of a hospital. While this was a great step in the right direction, health care providers deserve to be protected throughout the entire facility, not just the ED.
Assaults on health care workers have become all too common in all parts of the hospital. Nurses, therapists, and doctors report not just abusive language but physical violence from patients and family members in all areas of the hospital. A civilized society cannot tolerate these kinds of attacks, which run the gamut from spitting and hitting to threatening with weapons. The high stress job of saving lives and restoring health should not be further complicated by violence or threats of violence to those seeking to care for patients.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nationally, the rate of injuries from violent attacks against medical professionals grew by 63% from 2011 to 2018, while hospital safety directors say that aggression against staff has escalated since COVID-19 intensified in 2020. In the second quarter of 2022, more than two nursing personnel were assaulted every hour, equating to 57 assaults per day, 1,739 assaults per month and 5,217 assaults per quarter. With the increase in violence against hospital workers and healthcare worker burnout, it is clear that we need to protect health care workers and make their safety a priority.
Kentucky’s health care workers deserve protection of the law and the ability to carry out their service to patients without the risk of physical violence or abusive behavior.
KHA asks the Kentucky General Assembly to pass and the Governor to sign into law legislation designed to provide greater security and protection for our hospital workers throughout the facility.
White bagging is a process in which a prescription is filled by a third-party specialty pharmacy and then administered by the provider rather than making use of the provider’s pharmacy. Typically the specialty pharmacy is owned by the insurer covering the patient.
This seemingly minor change of using a third-party pharmacy rather than the provider’s pharmacy can increase patient copays and plan sponsor bills, interrupt scheduling and treatment, affect the provider’s bottom line, disrupt pharmacy receiving and storage systems, and introduce safety concerns. It means the insurer is paying its own PBM and pocketing significant profits which are largely non-transparent.
Safety concerns arise from this practice because it becomes unclear who is accountable for verifying the authenticity and integrity of the drug before administration. It also raises the question of who is responsible when a delay in therapy, due to a lack of coordination between patient, prescriber, and pharmacy, leads to adverse outcomes for patients.
The medications involved are almost exclusively drugs provided in a hospital setting such as infusion of chemotherapy. White bagging results in fractionated care, especially for patients who rely on safety net organizations to assist them in paying for these high-dollar therapies.
White bagging poses a threat to patient health and safety. Kentucky’s hospitals support legislation prohibiting insurers from mandating white bagging and related mandates for hospitals with their own specialty pharmacies.
Big Pharma is attacking the 340b program and attempting to limit covered entities to no more than one contract pharmacy. Big Pharma hopes to reduce its costs by limiting patients access to 340b discounted medications
Other states are looking at legislation to protect 340b covered entities to ensure that patients are not limited to a single contract pharmacy.
KHA supports efforts to advance legislation to ensure covered entities may use more than one contract pharmacy and patients will have access to medications at a pharmacy close to home.
Sepsis endangers the lives of patients and without proper treatment patients can face organ failure, life-long injury, or death. Managed Care Organizations are refusing to cover treatment for Sepsis-2. By the time the condition progresses to Sepsis-3 organ failure is already imminent. Hospitals must treat patients for Sepsis before it reaches the level of organ failure and insurers must cover the treatment. The policy of refusing to cover Sepsis-2 treatment is short-sighted and may cause permanent injury to the patient and ultimately increase the cost of care.
Treatment of Sepsis-2 is one of the measures examined by CMS for the annual renewal of the Hospital Rate Improvement Program. It would be a mistake for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to adopt the position of the MCOs and risk the lives of patients and interfere with one of the measures used by the federal government to determine the efficacy of the HRIP program.
The Kentucky Hospital Association calls on the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to reject this policy by the MCOs refusing to cover the cost of care for Sepsis-2. If the Cabinet will not take the proper steps to protect the lives and health of patients, the hospitals must seek legislation, as have other states, to curb the excesses of the MCOs.
KHA and Kentucky hospitals continue to support liability reform. The reforms in SB 5 from the 2021 session of the General Assembly in response to COVID-19 were an important step in the right direction and demonstrated that lawyers were not put out of business nor jury trials denied to anyone because of commonsense limitations on litigation. Sadly, these protections lapsed with the end of the state’s declaration of the public health emergency. The lack of such protection will force already financially stressed hospitals into an even more difficult position at a time in which they are facing billions of dollars in losses.
The lack of tort reform creates additional costs for the business community, including hospitals, in terms of meritless lawsuits, inflated damages, and leads to defensive medicine.
Costs for liability insurance are lower in neighboring states which have adopted liability reforms and that puts Kentucky at a disadvantage in recruiting and retaining physicians.
Because repeated attempts have been made to change the tort laws only to see the new laws struck down as unconstitutional, Kentucky’s hospitals call on the General Assembly to pass a constitutional amendment addressing the Jural Rights Doctrine which has been an impediment to updating Kentucky’s legal system to keep it in line with those of our sister states.
Upon adoption of such a constitutional amendment, Kentucky should reform the laws so that paid charges are used to calculate any damages rather than billed charges for medical services.
The General Assembly should also reform the tort laws regarding the calculation of attorneys’ fees. With 28 states placing a cap on attorneys’ fees and another 12 using a sliding-scale fee schedule, Kentucky is in a small minority of states that do not set reasonable limits on fees.
These commonsense reforms remove a number of incentives for inflated claims and excessive jury awards and insure a greater portion of the award goes to the client without depriving the attorney of a just fee.
KHA supports a constitutional amendment to modify and update the Jural Rights Doctrine, legislation to modernize medical liability and tort laws to protect businesses and health care providers from meritless suits, eliminate false incentives that inflate claims and jury awards, and insure that a larger portion of any jury award actually goes to the plaintiff.
Kentucky’s hospitals are opposed to efforts to establish an All-Payer Claims Database (APCD) in Kentucky. This is an expansion of government that intrudes into the private health information of patients and involves duplicative bureaucracy because de-identified all payor claims data is already collected by the state and available for use.
APCDs are being pushed by groups that claim they want to use the data to better understand the health problems facing the state. The real agenda is to have government regulation of health care private sector commercial prices. Several states are leading in this effort by setting up “cost commissions” to regulate and cap commercial prices that health care providers can be reimbursed. Kentucky hospitals already have some of the lowest commercial prices in the country, ranking 12th lowest nationally by the RAND corporation’s most recent report. Rate regulation of hospital prices is not needed and would only put hospitals in greater financial jeopardy when a 2023 KaufmanHall report found 38% are already at risk of closure.
This kind of new bureaucracy is unnecessary because, by statute, Kentucky already has all-payer claims data spanning over 20 years, collected by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, from hospitals and ambulatory facilities. It is readily available to researchers and Kentucky’s hospitals use the data every day to assess the needs of their communities and plan services to address those needs. In addition, the existing Medicaid claims data, and the more than 75 reports filed annually with the state by the Medicaid MCOs are available to provide a better understand health challenges of the Medicaid population.
Polling indicates that across the board all voters strongly oppose having their medical information sent to the government and accessed by people other than their personal physician in addition to their valid privacy and security concerns.
Finally, an APCD is not required for transparency and would be an inaccurate source of information, given the data would not be audited for errors in payment which frequently occur, and hospitals are already federally required to make their prices transparent.
KHA asks the legislature to oppose the creation of this misguided program to expand government and place patient health information at risk of exposure.

For todays post I thought I would share a link. This is an article about “thin privilege”, which is the idea that thin people (particularly women) are given privileges and are seen differently than fat people. Essentially, this is about the oppression of overweight people. I find this article to be very interesting, and I have to say I agree with most of the author’s points. Whether or not you have experienced skinny-shaming, it will never be quite the same thing as the actual oppression felt by “fat” people. The main thing to take away from this article is the fact that we all need to be aware of this phenomenon, so that we can make it stop. We should all be able to see through the exterior to the interior. As women, we all have hang-ups about our bodies. Since we all know how painful it can be to feel upset about our bodies, why don’t we all start trying to lift each other up instead of bringing each other down?
I hope you enjoy this article! Thanks for reading!

? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The c-Myc oncoprotein is essential for normal cell growth and proliferation. However, overexpression of c-Myc occurs in most human cancers. Thus, its level and activity must be tightly regulated during normal cell homeostasis. The ubiquitination-proteasome system plays a key role in controlling c-Myc levels and activity. c-Myc normally undergoes rapid ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, but it is transiently stabilized by key phosphorylation events in response to growth signals. Phosphorylation of Serine 62 (S62) stabilizes c-Myc, whereas phosphorylation of Threonine 58 (T58) promotes c-Myc ubiquitination by the SCFFbw7 ubiquitin ligase and proteasomal degradation, mainly in the nucleolus. Like other post-translational modifications, ubiquitination can be reversed by the action of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). While several ubiquitin ligases have been identified for c-Myc, only one DUB, USP28, has been reported to target c-Myc. We have recently discovered that the nucleolar deubiquitinating enzyme USP36 is a novel c-Myc regulator. USP36 binds to c-Myc and deubiquitinates c-Myc in cells and in vitro. Overexpression of wild-type USP36, but not its catalytic-inactive C131A mutant, stabilizes c-Myc and enhances c-Myc-driven transcription. Knockdown of USP36 reduces c-Myc levels and drastically suppresses cell proliferation. Importantly, USP36 interacts with the nucleolar Fbw7? and abolishes Fbw7?-mediated c-Myc degradation. In contrast, USP28 antagonizes Fbw7?-mediated c-Myc degradation. Since the bulk of c-Myc is degraded in the nucleolus, our discovery leads to the novel hypothesis that USP36 functions as a crucial regulator of c-Myc by deubiquitinating c-Myc in the nucleolus. Interestingly, we found that USP36 itself is a c-Myc target gene, suggesting that USP36 and c-Myc form a positive feed-forward regulatory loop. To gain further insight into the role of USP36 in the regulation of c-Myc protein stability, activity and oncogenicity, we will investigate the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying the regulation of c-Myc by USP36 in Aim 1, including how USP36 interplays with Fbw7? to regulate c-Myc in the nucleolus, whether it interplays with USP28 in the dynamic control of c-Myc ubiquitination, and the importance of c-Myc-USP36 feed-forward regulation. We will elucidate the functional consequences of USP36 regulation of c-Myc in cells in Aim 2 by analyzing whether USP36 regulates c-Myc binding and turnover at target gene promoters, whether it promotes c-Myc-dependent ribosome biogenesis, and whether it promotes c-Myc's oncogenic potential in cells and in vivo. Finally, we will elucidate whether USP36 is a therapeutic target using cell based and mouse models as proposed in Aim 3, including the investigation of USP36 deregulation in human breast cancers, whether deletion of USP36 inhibits c-Myc-driven mammary tumorigenesis in mice, and high-throughput screening of small molecule inhibitors for USP36. Achieving these goals will provide critical insight into how c-Myc is properly regulated by dynamic ubiquitination and deubiquitination, how deregulation of this dynamic contributes to tumorigenesis, and how USP36 can be targeted in human cancers.

I visited the Vallée des Merveilles, or “Valley of the Marvels”, to see its rich heritage of petroglyphs before the winter snows will cover them until late spring. Being an archaeologist myself, I was fascinated by the idea of having both open country scenery (my favorite along with cloud forests) and history.
About two hours form the French town of Nice and 3-4 hours from the Italian town of Torino, it is one of the richest sites in the Alps for rock art: it hosts between 40000 and 100000 rock engravings, dating to the III millennium B.C. Besides, the area features stunning scenery, with barren rocky peaks, several lakes and abundant wildlife: chamois, ibex or marmots are easily encountered in the high elevations. A wonderful place indeed!
The petroglyph called the “Christ”
In the early Bronze Age, during summer time groups of men used to come around Mt. Bego, the valleys of Merveilles and Fontanalba. Above 2000m, on the rocks smoothed by the action of the long gone glaciers, they engraved several petroglyphs, representing in a stylized shape horned animals, pastoral scenes, weapons and figures. This iconography originates from the agro pastoral communities but features also many symbolic representations of the rich Mediterranean cultural cluster (horned bull, daggers).

Petroglyphs depicting weapons and and symbols on a rock in Alpine landscape of the Vallée des Merveilles, Mercantour
Not much is known about the ancient people who lived around 5,000 years ago in this part of the Alps, but they left vivid expressions of themselves and their world as rock engravings scattered throughout the lush meadows of this part of the Maritime Alps. The populations that centuries later would be known as Celts did not exist yet.
Trekking and discovering these figures on the trail is a rewarding experience, and by hiking it’s really possible to see through the different ages: it turned into a journey back in time, also because you are following the steps of many others before. This place is quite remote, but the area has been used for centuries and still is (each summer herds of sheep, cows and goats are brought here to feed on the lush meadows) and the petroglyphs have been known for a long time. They were mentioned in several chronicles from the late Middle Age, who tell about “some devils on the rocks”. Later, in the XIX century, they were connected with the famous crossing of the Alps of Hannibal. Sir Clarence Bicknell at the end of the same century spent 15 years cataloguing the petroglyphs, recording evidence of at least 15000 rock engravings. Now the petroglyphs are part of a National Park and are still under study.

‘Art Behind Barbed Wire’: Ben Uri acquires rare internment portrait painted in 1940 in Huyton transit camp, Liverpool by artist internee Hugo ‘Puck’ Dachinger
In June 1940, following Churchill’s directive to ‘Collar the lot!’, Austrian artist Hugo Dachinger was swept up in the mass internment of around 27,000 so-called ‘enemy aliens’, mostly Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution, who were interned in hastily adapted camps all over the country. Dachinger spent five months at Huyton Camp, Liverpool within the recently built Woolfall Heath Estate, divided from the non-internees by an eight-metre high barbed wire fence. Despite the overcrowding and poor conditions at Huyton, Dachinger’s artistic output was startlingly prolific and included landscapes, scenes of everyday life, posters and even nudes, as well as vivid, often highly coloured portraits.
This head-and-shoulders portrait of an unidentified older man with white hair and moustache and startlingly blue eyes, painted in the third month of his internment, is likely to be one of the middle-class refugee intellectuals, writers and artists with whom Dachinger mixed in camp. The blue and yellow palette can be found in other Huyton portraits (one dated only three days earlier). Although the sitter’s large-collared, tightly-buttoned overcoat has a military feel, perhaps further suggested by the visible headline ‘Air Fights in Many Spheres’, it carries no insignia, and Dachinger’s warm treatment of his subject contrasts with his sharply satirical, sometimes cartoonish works featuring camp officers. With traditional art materials in short supply, Dachinger and fellow artists (who included Martin Bloch and Walter Nessler) executed works in a variety of accessible media, often using discarded newspapers (The Times was considered the best) as supports. These could be primed with gelatine collected from boileddown bones mixed with flour, a method leaving stories of war tantalisingly visible beneath, and which Dachinger, a former designer, often included to great effect (there is a poignancy here in the visible righthand column of ‘Domestic Situations Wanted’, since this was the only hope of passage for many female refugees). Twigs were also burnt to create charcoal and paints made from brick dust or food ground with linseed oil or olive oil from sardine cans, though here Dachinger appears to have used watercolours perhaps mixed with toothpaste (particularly in the hair) to make the pigments less transparent.
Following Huyton, Dachinger was sent in October 1940 until his release in January 1941, to ooragh Camp, Ramsey on the Isle of Man, where he continued to paint. In November he held an exhibition of his internment drawings entitled Art Behind Barbed Wire, advertised with an arresting poster of his own design, and later exhibited at London’s Redfern Gallery in April 1941.
About the artist: Graphic artist, designer, painter and sculptor, Hugo ‘Puck’ Dachinger was born in Gmunden, Upper Austria in 1908 to Jewish middle-class parents. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Leipzig, Germany (1929–32), paying for his tuition by selling portrait drawings and working as a salesman and window-dresser. Afterwards he worked as a graphic designer, moving in 1932 to Vienna, where he invented a system of moveable type (patented in 1933) and established workshops in Leipzig, Zagreb and Budapest. In 1938, travelling via Denmark, he immigrated to England, settling in North London and establishing the successful Transposter Advertising Ltd firm with Ernst Rosenfeld (which closed in 1945). From June 1940–January 1941 Dachinger was interned, first at Huyton, Liverpool and then in Mooragh Camp, Ramsey, on the Isle of Man. After release he married fellow artist and German émigré Meta Gutmann (who nicknamed him ‘Puck’). He exhibited at German-Jewish émigré Jack Bilbo’s Modern Art Gallery in London in 1942 and alongside fellow Austrian artists at the prestigious Redfern and Leger Galleries from 1941–45, also continuing to work as an inventor and designer for various publishing companies. Dachinger’s work has been included in survey exhibitions including Kunst im Exil in Grossbritannien 1933-45 (Berlin, Oberhuasen, Vienna and London, 1986), Art Behind Barbed Wire (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 2004) and Ben Uri’s Forced Journeys: Artists in Exile in Britain, c. 1933-45 (London, Isle of Man and Birkenhead, 2009–10). In 2012 the Austrian Cultural Forum held the first UK Dachinger retrospective; his work is also held in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and the Manx Museum, Isle of Man.

Written by Fani Gargova, Byzantine Research Associate
Edited by Rona Razon, Archivist
The Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) proudly presents the first online release of fourteen (14) moving images from its film collection, which have not been available to an audience outside of Dumbarton Oaks for the past 60 years. First, ICFA holds unique footage of the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens, documenting the property and the institution between the mid-1920s to 1940s. More importantly, ICFA preserves the 16mm films of the Red Sea Monastery of Saint Anthony in Egypt and Hagia Sophia and Kariye Camii in Istanbul, Turkey. These films record the restoration and conservation activities of the Byzantine Institute between the 1930s and 1940s.
In 2011, ICFA conducted an assessment and inventory of its film collection to address urgent preservation issues, i.e. the films were suffering from vinegar syndrome. The original 16mm film reels and Betacam SP copies were sent to Colorlab in Rockville, MD, where they were digitized and reformatted. Once digitized, we were able to make these unique films available through Vimeo. Our initial task was to compress the large .MOV files to a suitable size for web access. This proved to be a time-consuming task, as it was important to show the content of the films in high quality. While we started out using iMovie, we quickly discovered that the quality of the image decreased, especially in darker scenes as seen below:
We also experimented with Adobe Media Encoder, but learned that the program does not have flexible editing features, such as the ability to add introductory and end titles. Finally, we decided to use FinalCut Pro to edit and compress the video files, which proved to be the right program for our purposes. Our goal was to compress the films for accessibility, while retaining as much of the original quality of the moving images as possible. After much effort, ICFA’s film collection is now available through Vimeo and also on our website, on a page dedicated to our Moving Image collection.
The first film we are proud to present is the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens, which has given our colleagues from Garden and Landscape Studies, Gardens, and Dumbarton Oaks Archives incredible insight into the history of our “secret garden.” Based on the film edge codes, clothing, and garden scenes, portions of the film may have been recorded as early as the mid-1920s, and through 1930s and 1940s. In black and white and color, the film contains garden views, winter scenes, and summer scenes at the pool. There are also tantalizing glimpses of the Dumbarton Oaks’ founders, including Mildred Barnes Bliss and her friends in the Orangery and Robert Woods Bliss in the gardens. For further information, please see the posts on ICFA’s blog and the DO/Conversation blog.
ICFA is also proud to show the films from The Byzantine Institute, a non-profit organization that was founded and directed by Thomas Whittemore, starting in 1930. As evident from these films, you will see that Whittemore and The Byzantine Institute started to experiment with moving images as early as 1930 to document their fieldwork activities and work progress. The black-and-white film of the Red Sea Monastery of Saint Anthony in Egypt is the first film from the Institute and illustrates their early interest in film documentation. The film shows scenes of the monks’ and local men’s everyday life and the surrounding landscape.
The Byzantine Institute also documented and presented their work through film while uncovering the mosaics in Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey. In 1936 and 1940, Thomas Whittemore used color film to show the process of cleaning, restoration, and preservation in great detail, as well as the quality and visual impression of the mosaics in their most shining state. For further information, please consult the fieldwork notebooks and correspondence in ICFA’s leading collection The Byzantine Institute and Dumbarton Oaks Fieldwork Records and Papers, which document the process of filming and how the films were used to promote the Byzantine Institute’s ongoing endeavors.
Similarly, the Byzantine Institute documented their work at Kariye Camii through film, shortly before Whittemore’s death in 1950. This film shows Whittemore examining the mosaics and their structure along with the fieldworkers. It also displays the extensive iconographic program in the exonarthex at an early stage of its uncovering.
As you will see, these films are visually compelling and are valuable historical sources for the Dumbarton Oaks community and the study of Byzantine art and architecture. We are extremely excited to share them with you as they are absolutely one of a kind!

After weeks of waffling and speculating, several news outlets report that the $11 billion merger between US Airways and American Airlines will arrive as soon as this week. This news follows a number of reports late last week that this was almost a done deal. If approved, the merger would create the nation's largest airline, ahead of Delta and United, which merged with Continental in 2010, and would reportedly put US Airways chief Doug Parker as CEO of the new company, which would keep the name American Airlines. It would also get to keep that fancy new branding that American unveiled a couple of weeks ago.
Beyond those details, however, things get a little bit complicated. American Airlines, for instance, filed for bankruptcy protection 14 months ago, and so, 72 percent of its stock int he new company would belong to American's creditors who would also have to approve the deal. The deal will also need the approval of both boards, a bankruptcy judge in New York as well as federal regulators. Futhermore, airline mergers are just complicated to begin with. "Airline mergers are often rocky," explains The New York Times's Jad Mouawad, "involving complex technological systems, big reservation networks as well as large labor groups with different corporate cultures that all need to be combined seamlessly." Reuters' sources warned, "Negotiations are continuing and could still be delayed or fall apart."
This is all to say, this is a good week for the big US Air-American Air merger to finally go through. It is also, however, a week during which many things can go wrong. From the consumer's point of view, though, not much will change. Sure, you'll have fewer airlines to choose from, but the rapid consolidation of the airline industry has been happening for years. At least we know from experience that the shrinking number of choices won't make flying more expensive, though.

SpaceX landed a rocket on a barge earlier this week, until it tipped over and exploded. Now the drone ship is back in port with the wreckage on deck. The Falcon 9’s engines are looking shockingly intact for surviving launch, reentry, landing and an explosion! An eagle-eyed photographer publishing under the name Bacon Gummy spotted the barge coming into port and snapped the wreckage. Check out the gallery here:
The Falcon 9 rocket landed on the barge in the Pacific Ocean after delivering the Jason-3 oceanographic satellite into orbit this weekend. Unfortunately, one of the rocket’s four legs was prevented from locking into position by ice, leading to it collapsing and taking the rest of the rocket with it. This is SpaceX’s third attempt at landing a rocket on a barge that ended in an explosion, but this explosion was the gentlest yet to leave the largest pieces of debris for engineers to comb over.
SpaceX’s Elon Musk is optimistic that 2016 will hold more landings, and fewer explosions, tweeting, “My best guess for 2016: !70% landing success rate (so still a few more RUDs to go), then hopefully improving to ~90% in 2017.” Rocket explosions are discretely referred to as Rapid Unscheduled Disassemblies, or RUDs, in the industry.
The company successfully landed a rocket on solid ground last month, touching down at Landing Zone 1 in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Always in life you have before you three choices: 41 1. You may allow your uncontrolled thoughts to create The Moment. 2. You may allow your creative consciousness to create The Moment. 3. You may allow the collective consciousness to create The Moment. Here is an irony: In your present life you find it difficult to create consciously from your individual awareness, and, indeed, often assume your individual understandings to be wrong, given all that you are seeing around you, and so, you surrender to the collective consciousness, whether it serves you to do so or not.
The being you now call Satan was thus created. It was not difficult to create a myth about a “bad child,” and not difficult, either, to convince even the women of the clan of the possibility of the existence of such a creature. It was also not difficult getting anyone to accept that the bad child was male. Weren’t males the inferior gender? This device was used to set up a mythological problem. If the “bad child” was male, if the “evil one” was masculine, who would there be to overpower him? Surely, not a feminine Goddess.
It is August 7, 1998, as I write this sentence. Lam inserting this in the dialogue, in between lines of a discussion of two years ago, and I have never done this before. But just before sending this to the publisher, I was re-reading the manuscript one last time, and I realized: Hold it! Robin Williams has just made a movie about exactly what we’re talking about here. It’s called What Dreams May Come, and it’s a startling depiction on film of what You’ve just said. 42 I am familiar with it. You are?

October 5, 2002 is a date that will live in infamy for Husky Football fans. The Neuheisel era was already unraveling in the minds of many after getting killed by Miami, blowing the Holiday Bowl to Texas, and having 12 men on the field to lose the season opener at Michigan. Of course when compared to the last two years, those were salad days.
The Huskies were 3-1 as they welcomed their long time patsies, the California Bears, to Husky Stadium led by new coach Jeff Tedford. The Bears were 3-2 and coming off of a 1-10 season. They had lost 19 straight games to Washington over the previous 26 years. The Huskies were working on a 17 game home winning streak against all comers.
No one was too surprised when Cal opened a big lead. This was routine for this series as a look at the record book will show that many of Washington's biggest comebacks were against Cal in the winning streak. So when Cal led 34-18 in the 4th quarter, most of us were just waiting for the collapse.
Alas, time ran out and Cal still led 34-27, snapping the streak and starting a stunning reversal of fortune that has Cal nationally ranked coming off of two big blowout wins over the Huskies, and the Huskies coming off of a 1-10 season with a new coach at the helm. The silence as Husky Stadium emptied that day spoke volumes. The Huskies lost 3 of their next 4 games only to salvage the season with the now legendary Northwest sweep, led by New York Knicks sensation Nate Robinson.
Cal visits again this Saturday for the third time in four years looking to make it four straight over the hungry and still winless Dawgs. Can we turn it around and restore order to the universe?
Many alert readers may recall our hopeless campaign to steal Tedford from Cal last season. We were quite complimentary of Tedford and heaped praise on him for his masterful job at Cal. We were willing to overlook his unseemly connection to the Bellotti Family in Eugene, even though recent events confirm that he actually ran that family when he was there.
Now he is just Bellotti Spawn and a big time loser to Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl who probably cheats and does other not so nice stuff. Hey, we're media and we can tear him down if we want. It's what we do. Just be happy we aren't going after you.
The new look Huskies earned praise from this skeptical scribe as they looked well prepared and into the opener against Air Force Saturday last. Ty Willingham delivered a disciplined team as promised that did most everything right for 50 minutes, only to get hit by an 85 yard MOAB that swung Big Mo to Air Force as the Huskies snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Isaiah Stanback showed why this magazine has been correct in calling for him to be the starter. Tim Lappano has worked wonders with the budding star, and IS delivered an impressive debut to the 05 season. Louis Rankin showed a good burst at running back and the wide outs did a great job of catching the ball with one glaring and fatal exception.
The defense was not as impressive, but mainly due to missing players. This is not a deep team.
It is a team that needs a victory bad. A victory over a Cal team that shockingly has a problem at quarterback. Look for Tedford to have that fixed up this week. My heart really wants to pick the Dawgs to win this game, but my head says our depleted defense will be our downfall. Look for Bizzarro World to continue as the Huskies jump out early to a lead they just can't hang onto down the stretch. Cal now expects to win, while we still hope to. Give Ty time and he'll change the culture back to where we need it to be. And go out and support the local eleven for goodness sakes. These guys have earned your support.
Prediction: Cal – 27, UW – 20
Just another day at the beach for Troy
Troy "Cubby" Wadsworth III
Another game, another 60 point blowout. Ho hum. America's Finest Team, the USC Trojans, destroyed Hawaii 63-17. As if that is any kind of a surprise.
Exhausted from the trip, the Trojans now take a week off to get ready for a visit from Arkansas on September 17. The main challenge for Pete Carroll is to keep his squad interested in the college season as they work towards the NFL Combine.
In other, minor LA news, the UCLA Bruins bashed San Diego State as Maurice Drew showed he can gash other defenses besides the Huskies.
I guess it is nice to see someone from the Pac 10 uphold the honor against the Mountain West and WAC conferences. And of course it is the LA schools. Next up for the Bruins is a bowl of Rice.
Prediction: Bruins – 38, Owls – 8
Ducks quacking proud
Mallard N. Moore
The new look Duck offense was as advertised as Oregon rolled over Houston 38-24. Head coach Mike Bellotti was angry at those who insist on calling his cornerbacks burnt toast.
"Sure Houston got a couple of long bombs against us, but we were in position to make the play. It certainly isn't coaching, if that's what you're getting at," fumed Bellotti as he wondered if he would have to fire his old friend Nick Alliotti to save his job this season. "I thought our offense looked great and am really pleased that I was smart enough to hire Gary Crowton to run it. And I have a lot of input into that offense." Bellotti added as he remembered that Tedford was getting too much credit for the Duck's brief fling with glory years ago.
Snoop Stewart made his college debut and was impressive on a 4th quarter run that made all the highlight reels. His attorney was unavailable for comment on the lack of 25 carries in the game.
Kelly "how do you like me now" Clemmons showed a good knack for the offense, but one must hope that his insurance is paid up as this offense takes killing your quarterback to new levels of absurdity.
Next up is a big challenge from Montana at not so recently anymore remodeled Autzen Arena. Sponsored by Hostess Cupcakes.
Prediction: UO – 56, UM – 20
Other Pac News: - Idaho shocked WSU by punching them squarely in the mouth before falling to the wimpy Cougars…next up for WSU is Nevada…..ooooh…..ASU crushed Temple….Utah hung on to beat Arizona….Cal struggled with Sacramento State and lost a QB for the season…Oregon State beat PSU and steps up in class to host Boise State…the Broncs are reeling from the night their lights went out in Georgia….look for the Beavers to get revenge for last years trip to the blue turf woodshed
Around the Nation: - TCU shocked Oklahoma at Norman…some of us wanted OU to wait until next year to lose at home to a big non conference under dog…tough weekend for coaches named Stoops…Louisville held on to beat Rich Brook's Kentucky eleven…Marcus "not Mike" Vick won his debut for Virginia Tech at NC State…Jabba the Hut Hut has restored the glory once again at Notre Dame…I've got a book written on the last coach there after HIS first season….Will Weiss get published?…Dave Wandstedt showed he can look dazed and confused on a NFL or College sideline as Pitt laid down early and often against the Irish….Joe Glenn led his Wyoming team to Urban Meyer's Florida and lost close…The Ol' Ball coach won his South Carolina debut…for those of you who doubted Superior, have you ever seen so much coverage of South Carolina in your life?. Steve has the top prospects calling him…Georgia Tech broke Auburn's long win streak…Big Game this weekend – Young Vince Young and Texas travel to the Horseshoe to meet Ohio State…don't miss that one…say a prayer for the Gulf Coast.

Hank Pym actor Michael Douglas is back for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!
Quantumania is expected to be Douglas’ next Marvel gig with (hopefully) more to come and is supposedly set to release in 2022, according to his post on Instagram.
“Time to grow the goatee,” Douglas wrote in the caption. “Hank Pym is back! Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania coming in 2022!”
Although Marvel has yet to officially announce any release date for Quantumania, it seems that Douglas has taken it upon himself to break the news.
Back in August, Director Peyton Reed discussed the evolving landscape of finding a “balance” with more female superheroes.
“…I guess technically we were the first Marvel movie with a female hero in the title of the movie. Finding that balance in that movie, that’s very important to me because that’s very much a men’s playing field, historically. But that’s really, really changing now in a great way.”
Currently, there is an unclaimed Marvel release date for October 7, 2022. I suspect that Quantumania might fit the bill.

John Adams — Death of Klinghoffer, London
John Adams’s The Death of Klinghoffer is on at the English National Opera, London.
Verdi Un ballo in maschera at the Royal Opera House - a masked ball in every sense, where nothing is quite what it seems. On the surface, this new production appears quaint and undemanding. It uses painted flats, for example, pulled back and forth across, as in toy theatre. The scenes painted on them are vaguely generic, depicting neither Boston nor Stockholm, where the tale supposedly takes place. Instead, we focus on Verdi, and on theatre practices of the past. In other words, opera as the art of illusion, not an attempt to replicate reality. Take this production too literally and you'll miss the wit and intelligence behind it.
Small country, small opera house — big ensemble spirit. Internationally acclaimed soprano Natalia Ushakova steps in for indisposed local Violetta with mixed results.
Bulgarian director Vera Nemirova’s production of Otello for the Romanian National Opera in Bucharest was certainly full of new ideas — unfortunately all bad.
For its current revival of the 2006-2007 production of Giuseppe Verdi’s Il trovatore by Sir David McVicar Lyric Opera has assembled a talented quintet of principal singers whose strengths match this conception of the opera.
O Maria Deo grata — ‘O Mary, pleasing to God’: so begins Robert Fayrfax’s antiphon, one of several supplications to the Virgin Mary presented in this thought-provoking concert by The Cardinall’s Musick at the Wigmore Hall.
Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde at the Royal Opera House, first revival of the 2009 production, one of the first to attract widespread hostility even before the curtain rose on the first night.
On November 22, 2014, Los Angeles Opera staged Francesca Zambello’s updated version of Florencia in el Amazonas.
John Adams and his long-standing collaborator Peter Sellars have described The Gospel According to the Other Mary as a ‘Passion oratorio’.
Superb conducting from veteran Croatian maestro Nikša Bareza makes up for an absurd waterlogged new production of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković’s production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia’s second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly’s production of Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of ‘medicinal’ tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which ‘inspires musical excellence in young people’.
The good news is that you don’t have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul’s Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King’s Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
John Adams’s The Death of Klinghoffer is on at the English National Opera, London.
Press reports suggested mass protests against John Adams’s The Death of Klinghoffer at the ENO. But there was just one polite demonstrator, who’d left by the end of the evening. Perhaps he saw the show. The subject is emotive, and important, but Adams’s treatment is not incendiary. It’s the nature of his music. Repetitive, ruminative cadences, which suggest contemplation rather than imposed narrative. Perhaps it’s the very anti-drama in this music that provokes response.
Sidney Outlaw as Rambo
Adams's abstracted cadences evoke blurred boundaries: endless waves on the sea, the whirr of a ship’s engine, the slow ticking away of time. Unfortunately, this music also evokes tedium. Facts about the hijack of the Achille Lauro are projected onto the stage to keep us alert, but the music is saying something else altogether. Furthermore, Adams sets text counter-intuitively, so syntax is distorted in favour of unsettling stresses in places that would not occur in speech. Because our brains don’t process language in this way, meaning is sacrificed. It’s not good when you have to concentrate on sub-titles to figure out what’s being sung. Alice Goodman’s libretto has been criticized for being opaque, but it closely reflects Adams’s musical technique. Images are blurred and shift shape. In the opening Chorus, it’s deliberately unclear who the protagonist is. Is she a young woman in love or an old woman awaiting death? Or both? It’s immaterial. She’s a composite of millions who have been exiled throughout history. When music and text are both this oblique, the thrust of the drama is lost. Perhaps Adams wants us to savour each moment in detail, as we savour life itself, knowing it won’t last, but the cumulative effect of the First Act is soporific.
Things pick up in the Second Act, when Adams frees himself from earnest pseudo-documentary. Up to this point the action has mainly been in choruses. Now we have individuals with whom we can identify. Some of the words they sing come from transcripts made at the time, others are imaginative creations. It doesn’t matter. In these arias there’s dramatic reality. Leon Klinghoffer is presented as a likeable hero, and at last the opera has human focus. Alan Opie sings Klinghoffer so he comes over as a strong, reasonable man of authority, establishing a moral compass. The Aria of the Falling Body anchors Adams’s wavering oscillations with emotional truth.
Christopher Magiera as the Captain and Richard Burkhard as Mamoud
Michaela Martens' arias as Marilyn Klinghoffer are tours de force, the last adding bite. The Captain (Christopher Magiera) handled the situation with cool headed professionalism. offering his own life to save his passengers, but Adams and Goodman don’t dilute the focus from Klinghoffer to make the Captain a hero. Mrs Klinghoffer, in her grief, can’t understand why her husband was killed without her knowing. It’s a thoughtful detail to include in the opera since in these situations no-one knows everything all the time. Fine vignettes too from Lucy Schaufer (The Swiss Grandmother), Clare Presland (The Palestinian Mother) and Kate Miller Heidke (The British Dancing Girl), so clueless that she doesn’t comprehend the enormity of what’s happening. In a much needed twist of humour, Adams adds snatches of pop music around the part.
Baldur Brönimann conducted the orchestra so details surfaced tellingly from the amorphous textures. He’s a specialist in modern repertoire and understands how the genre operates. This music is not an undifferentiated mass.
The staging, however, was much less sensitive. Directed by Tom Morris with designs by Tom Pye, it tried to give shape to Adams’s oblique non-forms by over emphasizing the literal, perhaps to create the sensationalism Adams and Goodman avoid. The dance sequences are awful, completely at odds with the story. This is not a game. It is more than just a struggle over a country, it’s part of the eternal struggle between haves and have-nots. In this production, the Palestinians raise their fists in the classic gesture of the oppressed. For a moment it looks like a Nazi salute. What the hijackers did was evil, but it does not follow that the poor should not act, whoever they might be. The scenes where Finn Ross’s video projections fill the stage are far more effective, and being semi-abstract, are more faithful to Adams’s idiom.
The Death of Klinghoffer has its longueurs but it’s an important statement. Twenty five years after the Achille Lauro hijacking, terrorism is, if anything, more widespread and more savage than ever before. Twin Towers, the school in Beslan, the cinema in Moscow, and Utøya. Is there something to be learned from The Death of Klinghoffer? Many thanks to the ENO for giving us a chance to hear for ourselves.

Fixing Your Histamine Problems
This is a snapshot of the foods you should eat and the foods you should avoid if you are experiencing histamine problems.
I recommend staying in Phase 1 of the eating plan until you feel that your symptoms have completely resolved. For some people that might be 12 weeks, for others it might be one year, but aim to adopt this plan for a minimum of 8 weeks.
Once you have settled the symptoms and are taking the supplements, you can experiment with some of the foods. The foods highlighted in yellow are the ones I would recommend you introduce first, and the ones highlighted in red, I would suggest you avoid for a lot longer.
