Daisey Cutter: The Ultimate Apple Fanboy, Mike Daisey, Is Back With A Slightly More Realistic Show

Screen Shot 2012-07-30 at 11.21.15 AMMike Daisey, noted fabulist, is back at his original theatre in DC, The Woolly Mammoth where he is holding encore presentations of his debunked - and now slightly rewritten - show about working conditions at Foxconn. Gone are the guards with guns, the fake crippled man who touched the totemic iPad, and the real/fake translator named Cathy. Daisey replaced those stock characters with a bit of self deprecating humor and, as far as I can tell, a few, clearer facts.

Romney praises health care in Israel, where research says 'strong ...

(Hoyasmeg | Flickr)

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney had some very kind things to say about the Israeli health care system at a fundraiser there Monday. He praised Israel for spending just 8 percent of its GDP on health care and still remaining a ?pretty healthy nation:?

?When our health care costs are completely out of control. Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the GDP in Israel? 8 percent. You spend 8 percent of GDP on health care. And you?re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our GDP on health care. 10 percentage points more. That gap, that 10 percent cost, let me compare that with the size of our military. Our military budget is 4 percent. Our gap with Israel is 10 points of GDP. We have to find ways, not just to provide health care to more people, but to find ways to finally manage our health care costs.

Romney?s point about Israel?s success in controlling health care costs is spot on: Its health care system has seen health care costs grow much slower than other industrialized nations.

How it has gotten there, however, may not be to the Republican candidate?s liking: Israel regulates its health care system aggressively, requiring all residents to carry insurance and capping revenue for various parts of the country?s health care system.

Israel created a national health care system in 1995, largely funded through payroll and general tax revenue. The government provides all citizens with health insurance: They get to pick from one of four competing, nonprofit plans. Those insurance plans have to accept all customers?including people with pre-existing conditions?and provide residents with a broad set of government-mandated benefits.

Health insurance does not, however, cover every medical service. Dental and vision care, for example, fall outside of the standard government set of benefits. The majority of Israelis?81 percent ?purchase a supplemental health insurance plan to ?use the private health care system for services that may not be available in through the public system,? according to a paper by Health Affairs.

Now, let?s get to the costs. As you can see in the chart below, Israel?s health care costs have hovered around 8 percent of its gross domestic product for over two decades, while other countries? have seen theirs rise:

?

Israel?s lower health care spending does not look to sacrifice the quality of care. It has made more improvements than the United States on numerous quality metrics, and the country continues to have a higher life expectancy:

Source: New England Journal of Medicine

How?d they do it? Jack Zwanziger and Shuli Brammli-Greenberg took a crack at that question in a 2011 Health Affairs paper. The answer, they say, has a lot to do with ?strong government influence:

The national government exerts direct operational control over a large proportion of total health care expenditures, through a range of mechanisms, including caps on hospital revenue and national contracts with?salaried?physicians. The Ministry of Finance has been able to persuade the national government to agree to relatively small increases in the health care budget because the system has performed well, with a very high level of public satisfaction.

The Israeli Ministry of Finance controls about 40 percent of Israel?s health care expenditures through those payments to the four insurance plans. The? ministry decides how much it will pay the health plans for each Israeli citizen they enroll, making adjustments for how old a person is and how high their health care costs are expected to be.

It?s then up to the health insurance plan to figure out how to provide coverage within that set budget. If they spend too much?have a patient who is constantly in the hospital, for example?they will find themselves in the red. It?s that set budget?a capitated budget, in health policy terms?that seems to be crucial to the Israeli health care system?s success in cost control.

    When the social network's security team received a tip from a researcher about a vulnerability in the company's own network which would allow attackers to eavesdrop on internal communications, they made an unprecedented choice by broadened the scope of the bug bounty program and inviting researchers to search for other holes in the corporate network.

    During a presentation at Black Hat, Trustwave's Nicholas Percoco and Sean Schulte explained that they had created ?SMS Blocker,? which appeared to be like any other SMS blocker app on the market, but was also capable of harvest information such as contacts, SMS messages, photos; launching DoS attacks; and even force a web page to load. And yet, Bouncer repeatedly failed to flag it as malicious.

    Brain response to emotion altered in BD youth | Mental Health Hub

    By Mark Cowen

    Results from a US study show that adolescents with bipolar disorder (BD) have altered activation in certain brain regions in response to facial expressions of emotion.

    Furthermore, the researchers found that adolescents with the mood disorder exhibited problems processing and/or disengaging attention from facial expressions of emotion compared with their mentally healthy peers.

    The findings come from a study of 20 euthymic adolescents with BD who were aged 9-17 years and had a family history of the mood disorder and 21 mentally healthy adolescents without such a family history. There were no significant between-group differences regarding mean age, gender distribution, or IQ.

    All of the participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain while viewing happy, sad, or neutral facial expressions.

    Overall, there were no significant differences between adolescents with BD and controls regarding task performance, although BD patients showed a trend for reduced accuracy when identifying the gender of the happy and sad faces.

    However, adolescents with BD exhibited significantly reduced activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and significantly increased amygdala/hippocampal activation while viewing facial expressions of emotion compared with controls.

    Furthermore, adolescents with BD showed increasing levels of activation in the superior temporal sulcus/insula and visual cortex between the early and late phases of exposure to each block of facial expressions.

    By contrast, activation in these areas fell slightly among controls between the early and late phases of exposure.

    This suggests that mentally healthy individuals efficiently process emotional faces and then decrease allocation of neural resources, whereas BD patients have a gradually increasing response to faces, ?possibly reflecting difficulty processing emotional facial expressions,? comment Amy Garrett (Stanford University School of Medicine, California) and team.

    They conclude in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: ?Our findings support models of deficient prefrontal and excessive amygdala activation in patients with BD compared with healthy controls, and add new information suggesting that youth with BD have aberrant timing of superior temporal sulcus and visual cortical activation to facial expressions.?
