Fourth of July is Independence Day

Bureaupat — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 10:36:00 GMT

Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Interestingly, in 1777, Congress did not think about commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence until July 3rd, so the first organized elaborate celebration of independence occurred the following day: July 4, 1777, in Philadelphia. Ships in the harbor were decked in the nation's colors. Cannons rained 13-gun salutes in honor of each state.

Since 1777, the tradition of celebrating America's independence on July 4th has continued. As always, this most American of holidays will be marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.

Here are more fun facts about July 4th from the Census Bureau.

The Fourth of July 2009

2.5 million

In July 1776, the estimated number of people living in the newly independent nation.

306,829,396

The nation's population on this July Fourth.

Fourth of July Cookouts

More than 1 in 4

The chance that the hot dogs and pork sausages consumed on the Fourth of July originated in Iowa. The Hawkeye State was home to 17.6 million market hogs and pigs on March 1, 2008. This represents more than one-fourth of the nation's total. North Carolina (9 million) and Minnesota (6.7 million) were the runners-up.

6.8 billion pounds

Total production of cattle and calves in Texas in 2007. Chances are good that the beef hot dogs, steaks and burgers on your backyard grill came from the Lone Star State, which accounted for about one-sixth of the nation's total production. And if the beef did not come from Texas, it very well may have come from Nebraska (4.7 billion pounds) or Kansas (4.1 billion pounds).

Number of states in which the revenue from broiler chickens was $1 billion or greater between December 2006 and November 2007. There is a good chance that one of these states - Georgia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas - is the source of your barbecued chicken.

About 4 in 10

The odds that your side dish of baked beans originated from North Dakota, which produced 42 percent of the nation's dry, edible beans in 2007. Another popular Fourth of July side dish is corn on the cob. Florida, California, Georgia and New York together accounted for 60 percent of the sweet corn produced nationally in 2007.

Please Pass the Potato Salad

Potato salad and potato chips are popular food items at Fourth of July barbecues. More than half (52 percent) of the nation's spuds were produced in Idaho or Washington state in 2007.

More than three-fourths

Amount of the nation's head lettuce production in 2007 that came from California. This lettuce may end up in your salad or on your burger.

Nearly 3 in 4

The chances that the fresh tomatoes in your salad came from Florida or California, which combined accounted for 73 percent of U.S. tomato production last year. The ketchup on your burger or hot dog probably came from California, which accounted for 96 percent of processed tomato production in 2007.

Georgia

The state that led the nation in watermelon production last year (1 billion pounds). Other leading producers of this popular Fourth of July dessert included California, Florida and Texas, each with more than 400 million pounds.

More than 74 million

Number of Americans who said they have taken part in a barbecue during the previous year. It's probably safe to assume a lot of these events took place on Independence Day.

Fireworks

$207 million

The value of fireworks imported from China in 2007, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imported ($217 million). U.S. exports of fireworks, by comparison, came to just $14.9 million in 2007, with Japan purchasing more than any other country ($3.8 million).

$17.3 million

The value of U.S. manufacturers' shipments of fireworks in 2002.

Flags

$4.7 million

In 2007, the dollar value of U.S. imports of American flags. The vast majority of this amount ($4.3 million) was for U.S. flags made in China.

$2.4 million

Dollar value of U.S. flags exported in 2007. Mexico was the leading customer, purchasing $1.2 million worth.

$349.2 million

Annual dollar value of shipments of fabricated flags, banners and similar emblems by the nation's manufacturers, according to the latest published economic census data.

Patriotic-Sounding Names

Number of places nationwide with "liberty" in their name. The most populous one as of July 1, 2006, is Liberty, Mo. (29,581). Iowa, with four, has more of these places than any other state: Libertyville, New Liberty, North Liberty and West Liberty.

Thirty-one places are named "eagle" - after the majestic bird that serves as our national symbol. (Places include cities, towns, villages and census-designated places.) The most populous such place is Eagle Pass, Texas, with 26,401 residents.
Twelve places have "independence" in their name. The most populous of these is Independence, Mo., with 109,400 residents.
Nine places adopted the name "freedom." Freedom, Calif., with 6,000 residents, has the largest population among these.
There is one place named "patriot" - Patriot, Ind., with a population of 192.
And what could be more fitting than spending the Fourth of July in a place called "America"? There are five such places in the country, with the most populous being American Fork, Utah, population 25,596.

But let's always remember on this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, setting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation.

Quote of the Day: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigns

seniorexec — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:51:00 GMT

"It is my duty to always protect our great state. With that in mind..."

--- With that in mind Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin said in an impromptu speech today, that she would not run for re-election and was resigning from office at the end of the month.

"Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional Lame Duck status in this particular climate would just be another dose of politics as usual, something I campaigned against and will always oppose," Palin said in a statement during a national press conference.

Palin did her best to explain her reasoning for leaving more than a year before her term ends. See if you can follow the logic in this sentence:

"My family and I determined that it is best to make a difference this summer, and I am willing to change things, so that this administration, with its positive agenda, its accomplishments, and its successful road to an incredible future, can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success," she said.

Palin further added that her decision came after much "prayer and consideration." She did not want to waste time on "political blood sport" and cited public criticism of her actions and her family since the 2008 campaign.

Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor's picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the month, Palin spokesman Dave Murrow said.

Palin was first elected in 2006 on a populist platform. But her popularity has waned as she waged in partisan politics following her return from the presidential campaign. Her term would have ended in 2010.

Who makes more bank, Feds or White House Staff?

Bureaupat — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:51:00 GMT

If you're a Fed you come out ahead

In yet another promotion of government transparency, yesterday the Obama administration posted a detailed list of who makes what at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In fact, even the Bush administration was transparent, at least when it came to salaries. After all, every administration since 1995 has been required to "deliver a report to Congress listing the title and salary of every White House Office employee."

So let's try to use the transparency message sparingly. It loses its zest when it's attached to a congressional mandate.

But I digress...

When it comes to pay, working at the White House does not look so bad.The highest earners take home $172,200, while at the low end, staff assistants get $36,000. However, few in the White House work a wimpy 40-hours per week. For a typical staffer at the White House multiply that by number by two and add another 20.

So how do feds stack up?

The salaries of federal employees are not secret; all one needs to do is go to the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) 2009 Salary Tables web page. The base salary including locality pay for those in the area of Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA ranges from the lowly GS-1 Step 1 of $21,592 to a GS-15 step 10 of $153,200. Members of the Senior Executive Service top out at $177,000 (see the attached pay tables).

But in the National Capital Region, there really are virtually no GS-1's. Realistically, jobs start at the GS-5 level which range from $33,269-$43,251 and the average federal employee gets paid $75,419.

Compare this to the White House where 60 percent of the White House staff make less than the average DC area federal employee and only 31 percent of the staff make over $100K. Note: only Obama's top aides, such as Senior Advisers David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, press secretary Robert Gibbs, and Jon "Favs" Favreau, Obama's head speechwriter, are in the $172,200 Club (see the entire list here).

If you are looking for noted celebrity "Kumar" (Kal Penn), I guess the White House is not that transparent...he's not on the list.

So who is the big winner? The dedicated federal employee or the burnt out white house staffer? From a position of prestige and real or perceived power, perhaps the White House staff. But in the final analysis, feds have the edge on pay and win outright on hours worked.

White House staff also lose out in salary advancement. In one of his first acts as president, Obama announced that he was freezing the salaries of employees who made more than $100,000 a year, saying, "Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington."

EHRs with the ease of an iPhone? Not so fast

Eva Marie Stahl — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:49:00 GMT

The Children’s Health Informatics Program in Boston published a working paper last week that outlined the "ten principles for fostering development of an ‘iPhone-like’ platform for health care information technology." This paper is the byproduct of a perspective piece featured in the March edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. Bloggers went wild, chattering with glee about the new role of the iPhone as a framework for EHRs nationwide. One blogger noted that “a better strategy may indeed be the building of an Open, iPhone-like platform with open SDK, open APIs, etc., heck, even throw in an AppStore (with an app review feature) and let the development community have at it… Are you listening Washington?”

The iPhone-like platform that docs and healthcare gurus are raving about is a sexy product put out by Apple—well done of course. But a better comparison to creating an EHR application market alluded to by the NEJM authors and their fans is software-as-a-service (SaaS). Popularized by Salesfore.com, SaaS has proven itself a successful business model.

In the case of Salesforce.com, it created a web-based platform for managing large amounts of customer data . SaaS lets clients manage large data sets securely off-site and tailor databases to meet their application needs by choosing them à la carte. The ones they select are then integrated into one functioning piece of web-based software. The client saves on equipment and licenses and instead pays a monthly fee for the hosting a secure transactional site.

Salesforce.com maintains the privacy of millions of client customers while smartly providing a tailored user experience for its clients. Additionally, the applications that lie on top of the basic SaaS platform may be from competing vendors that want to sell a specific software function to the user.

Now, imagine this in the world of EHRs! As highlighted by the authors of the NEJM piece, there would be great value in tailoring an EHR based on individual needs. After all, why pay for stuff you don’t need? A software-as-service EHR platform would foster a competitive marketplace too, potentially lowering prices while raising quality.

While the analogy to the iPhone is hip, it is inaccurate. The iPhone is a great toy—don’t me wrong, I love mine—but iPhone mainly traffic in the realm of music, movies, email, games, and oh yeah, being a phone. With respect to ushering in a new era of eletronic health records that can be handled via an "app store" or SaaS approach, there is still a very long road ahead. Why?

Adoption. Let us not forget how few hospitals and docs currently use EHRs (less than 10 percent)
Incentives. While incentives are ripe for EHR purchasing thanks to ARRA, there is little incentive for vendors to alter their behavior and move them to a more ‘open’ mode of software development;
Development. Drawing developers to an apps marketplace for a EHR/SaaS platform is not that easy. In the Apple world, anyone can build an application and many do it more for fun than profit. Additionally, Apple's well-known brand is a beacon for developers who know that millions may use their apps. A similar marketplace just does not exist yet in the EHR space.

In fact, an open source platform for EHR tools already exists. Despite being a lower cost alternative to commercial products, it hasn't taken off. Vista, the nation’s open source EHR, continues to sit, awaiting mass download. Hmmm. Let’s keep our excitement in check.

Tom Coburn and the Pro-Life Earmark: An exercise in confusion and hilarity

Alex Salta — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:32:00 GMT

With his recent election to the United States Senate, you would think that former Saturday Night Live stalwart Al Franken is a shoe-in for "Funniest Member of Congress." Before he can claim victory, he will first have to fight Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn for the distinction; the main difference between the two legislators being that Franken tried to get laughs for most of his career while Coburn has spent his redefining the Unintentional Comedy Scale. A recent announcement by Coburn has done little to change this.

Coburn, who enjoys spending his time railing against pork barrel spending and hating that "Silent Spring" lady you remember from 11th grade Biology, recently introduced an amendment creating a new federal "Office of Unborn Children's Health." Coburn, who has made it something of a personal crusade to attack his colleagues for what he deems to be unnecessary pet projects, believes that federal tax dollars should go towards the establishment of an office that among other things will publish a brochure reminding pregnant women that "there is substantial evidence that the process of being killed in an abortion will cause the unborn child pain."

It should be noted that Coburn is in fact a licensed obstetrician in the state of Oklahoma. He is an obstetrician that was once accused of performing a non-consensual sterilization on a female patient and was subsequently investigated for Medicaid fraud, but an obstetrician nonetheless.

Just to be clear, Senator Coburn is vehemently against spending tax dollars on government health coverage for uninsured Americans but is fine with spending those same dollars on an office focused around the health issues of Americans who have not been (and may never be) born. Well at least he's consistent.

All of this would be somewhat shocking if not for the fact that it is coming from Tom Coburn, one of Washington's most controversial and divisive lawmakers. Coburn after all is the same person who claimed NBC's decision to broadcast an unedited version of the Holocaust epic "Schindler's List" exhibited "irresponsible sexual behavior" on the part of the network and brought television to an "all-time low, with full-frontal nudity, violence, and profanity." One might say that subtlety and reason might not exactly be the good doctor's strong suit.

Coburn's efforts to establish this new office have been met with widespread condemnation in the pro-choice community. Molly Jackson of NARAL Pro-Choice America claimed in a blog post that the amendment "goes from unreasonable to absurd in under 20 seconds." She went on to add that "it is unconscionable that Sen. Coburn continues to use legislation on this important issue as a means to continue his ideological attacks."

Writing for the Huffington Post, Planned Parenthood of America President Cecile Richards said of Coburn's proposed office "No one's totally sure who would staff it or exactly what they would be doing -- but suffice it to say the perennial assault on women's health care is upon us full force."

It is not Senator Coburn's pro-life stance that is necessarily troubling; there certainly are countless diverse and valid opinions when it comes to the abortion debate. Rather it is the Senator's willingness to call out any colleague who dare want to spend federal money on anything for being addicted to pork, while he is clamoring for the establishment of a federal office that serves no real practical purpose other than the bolstering of his own ideology.

Regardless of what you think about his views there is something admirable about Coburn's consistency when it comes to the abortion issue, he believes what he believes and he believes it passionately. When it comes to government spending however, Coburn's other favorite straw man issue, his inconsistency reeks of the worst kind of hypocrisy. Well it doesn't reek as much as this, but it's pretty close.

For Afghans, education is part of battle against Taliban

Nemat Sadat — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:14:00 GMT

When terrorists strike and harm or kill innocent civilians in the name of Islamic jihad, there’s a perception that they do so because they hate Western liberties and all that America stands for. But what do the Taliban hate about determined school children?

Last November, Taliban extremists in Kandahar sprayed acid on a group of schoolgirls who were on their way to the Mirwais School for Girls. The culprits drove up on motorbikes and squirted acid on dozens of girls’ faces, leaving several badly burned. In response, the Obama administration proposed to negotiate with the Taliban.

What the Taliban fear most is the flourishing of modern education in Afghanistan. Educated women pose a far bigger threat to the Taliban than American or NATO bombs.

When the Taliban ruled (1996-2001), there were no schools, only madrassas that twisted interpretations of the Koran, and they were only open to boys.

The Taliban oppose the study of the arts and sciences and the learning of English because they know a knowledge-based society means the loss of control. Given this logic, you’d think we’d make sure to leave no Afghan child behind. But while ten million Afghan children are back in school, over five million still remain at home.

The problem would be solved by shoring up the educational infrastructure (both at the K-12 and college levels). Beefing up military aid might secure Afghan neighborhoods, but military enforcement alone won’t cut it.

Fortunately, not all Afghans are quitting school out of fear or Taliban reprisals. While many Afghan parents discouraged their daughters from attending schools after an endless string of school attacks that has left over 700 closed, most of the fathers of the Mirwais School refuse to deny their daughters a formal education. Wearing their headscarves tightly to cover their scars, and with fire in their eyes, the girls have made their way back to class this time with even more intense vigor.

Instead of a strategic long-term vision for Afghanistan, we contemplate a shoddy deal with the rogue Taliban. Do you think that after fighting the Taliban for eight years, that they will be sincere about lasting peace and cooperation with ordinary Afghans?

President Obama’s overture to talk to “moderate” Taliban is counter-productive to our goal of an Afghanistan that remains stable and free. A deal with the Taliban would not only be a blow to the morale and safety of law-abiding Afghan citizens, but it would also reverse any success made post-9/11 and threaten the country back into the hands of terrorists.

This insatiable hunger for education defeats the perceptions that people have of Afghans as being far too corrupt, medieval, and tribal to ever accept modernity. Many don’t realize the progress Afghanistan made on its own in the twentieth century. In 1965, when suffrage was granted to Afghan women, many hadn’t; even liberal democracies in Europe – countries like Liechtenstein, Portugal, and Switzerland. With more women’s rights laws established in the 1970s, Afghan women pursued higher education in record numbers and female leaders began to emerge as powerful figures in government. The Feminist Majority estimates that by 1980, upwards of 70 percent of all doctors and teachers in Afghanistan were women, a figure that was groundbreaking for any country in the greater Middle East.

The plight of Afghanistan might just remind us why we are helping Afghanistan, what our own American forefathers endured to overcome bigotry, and the cost our nation paid with Civil War. While American history may not readily explain Afghanistan’s predicament, perhaps a Hollywood blockbuster can. Just like in the movie “The Last Samurai”, Afghanistan’s conflict is, and has been, a cultural war between the rural and the urban or, rather, the illiterate, religious hinterland and the forward-thinking, educated elite. In the movie, the industrial center of Japan defeats the villages. This has been the story of almost every country in the modern era except Afghanistan, where every such an attempt has resulted in backlash by the tribes.

But after more than thirty years of war, the tribes have been crushed, demoralized, and fragmented. Though the last vestige of tribalism endures in the rag-tag form of the Taliban, their ignorance and fundamentalism can be defeated.

To win in Afghanistan, we must advance the economy by creating a self-sustaining engine for growth, which can only happen by transferring educational skills, by saturating the country with an “enlightenment surge” that cultivates an insurgent intelligentsia class — one that overwhelms the despots and ushers Afghanistan into the modern era.

Friendly Fire Sparks Change at NYPD

Timothy Page — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:48:00 GMT

After a friendly fire incident left a cop dead last month, the New York Police Department has its sights set on futuristic technology that may help officers in the field avoid accidental shootings.

Omar J. Edwards, 25, was killed on May 28 as he chased down a burglary suspect while dressed in his off-duty street clothes with his service weapon drawn. When three plainclothes detectives came upon the scene and yelled for him to stop, Edwards turned with his weapon and was shot according to the NYPD in an AP article.

Because the bad guys never look like they do in the movies, with capes and a devious look in their eyes behind a mustache that’s as crooked as their smile, confusion between officers in different departments occurs all too often. Since 2006, five New York City police officers have been shot accidentally by fellow officers. The last New York City police officer killed in the line of duty was Russel Timoshenko. The 23-year-old officer was shot during a traffic stop in Brooklyn in July 2007.

Days after the shooting, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly asked his inner circle to compile a list of department initiatives that would help prevent confrontations between fellow officers. Soon after, the deputy commissioner for public information at the NYPD, Paul Browne, said the department is talking with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory about the possibility of tailoring technology for the department.

Pacific Northwest National Lab is one of the U.S. Department of Energy’s ten national laboratories, managed by DOE’s Office of Science. PNNL also performs research for other DOE offices as well as government agencies, universities, and industry to deliver breakthrough science and technology to meet current key national needs.

One of the ideas from PNNL involves the use of radio frequency tags that would allow officers to pinpoint where other cops are in the city. Another idea involves tags that would work gun-to-gun and use an infrared sensor so that when a weapon is pulled from an officer’s holster it triggers a signal, which may be seen or heard, that would be sent to the gun of a nearby officer.

While the research appears to be underway, it is still quite preliminary. The suggestions were among a list sent to city leaders, which also included suggestions on training, such as updating the training video for officers, conducting a firearms refresher course, and offering training specific to undercover officers.

Robocop technology aside, the big light-bulb idea to come from all of this was having the department's anti-crime officers visit and introduce themselves to officers from other departments. That way, the next time they confront someone with a loaded weapon in the streets, they can stop to see if they recall meeting them before.

Michelle Obama announces $851 million in grants to support community health

Eva Marie Stahl — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:25:00 GMT

First Lady Michelle Obama was the first to announce a broad and sweeping grants program for community health centers (CHCs) this week. The Recovery Act Capital Improvement Program will dole out over $850 million dollars in funding to CHCs nationwide that demonstrate a need for capital improvement projects such as new equipment, infrastructure, and most importantly, the adoption and implementation of electronic health records.

Over 1,500 community health centers in total will receive funding—of those, 400 will use funds specifically for EHRs. The first lady notes that these improvements will touch the lives of over 2.8 million patients that rely on CHCs for primary care. Mrs. Obama states that these “grants will mean new diagnostic equipment, renovation of facilities that need repair, expanding computer centers to help manage electronic medical records, adding on new staff [and] expanding programs that work.” This funding is the boost that CHCs need in order to dive into the EHR mania. Otherwise, the community centers lack the resources to engage in the transfer from paper to digital.

The awards are the third release of funds since the passage of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). This wave of funding was highly anticipated. The recovery act's core mission is to provide dollars for technology infrastructure needs, and the act breaks it out into three waves: 1) formula funding for federally qualified health centers or FQHCs; 2) competitive funding for CHCs; and 3) competitive funding for health information technology projects for CHCs.

The combined waves total more than $1.5 billion in community health center investment. The first two waves focused on either creating new CHCs or expanding and supporting existing CHCs that demonstrated need for infrastructure support as their rolls increase in the lousy economy. The third wave is forward looking and demonstrates the willingness and commitment of the Obama Administration to HIT and to EHRs, more specifically. So, yes, it’s real health information technology for CHCs—long neglected by many, they now have their brief moment in the spotlight.

Quote of the Day - 7/1/09

OhMyGov! — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:27:00 GMT

"[I] didn't cross the sex line"

--- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, in spelling out the exact geography, or anatomy, where he most definitely did not tread in various extra-marital affairs above and beyond his relationship with Argentine mistress Maria Belen Chapur.

In a wacky interview with the AP, Sanford also said he had "crossed lines" with other women but "never crossed the ultimate line." Is he talking about crossword puzzles? The Equator? Col. Ghaddafi's Line of Death? Here we thought it had something to do with bikini waxes.

"This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story," Sanford told the AP. "A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day."

Forgive us if this sounds like a nominee for the worst opening line to a novel.

Legislative Update: FERS sick leave parity faces another hurdle

Jaime L. Hartman — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:57:00 GMT

Last week, the House approved a measure as part the 2010 Defense authorization bill that would allow workers in the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) to count unused sick leave toward their retirement annuities like their colleagues in the older Civil Retirement System (CRS) have always been able to do. Not to be outdone by their Congressional counterparts, this week the Senate introduced its own version of the defense bill without the FERS provision.

Supporters are hopeful that the sick leave amendment, as well as a provisions that would move employees in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories few know about into the locality pay system, will see new life during floor debate after the July 4 holiday or in conference committee.

Another provision that did not make it into the Senate bill was one that would allow retirees to be rehired on a part-time basis without taking a cut in their retirement benefits. While labor unions that represent federal employees strongly support the sick leave parity amendment, they have opposed provisions that would allow retirees to “double-dip” by receiving pay and retirement benefits simultaneously.

Both the Senate and House bills also contain language that would force the Defense Department to demonstrate that NSPS, its pay-for-performance system, could be reformed, or force it to be dismantled within one year.

Other legislative news

Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) introduced a bill (H.R. 2978) that would raise the age limit for coverage of dependent children under the Federal Employees Health Benefit (FEHB) from 22 to 25. Davis introduced identical legislation in 2008, but it never made it out of committee. This is most likely due to the fact parents want their kids grown up and out of the house by 22.
