�
While mainstream news insurance coverage is still a elemental source of information for the up-to-the-minute in policy debates and the health care market place, online blogs have become a significant part of the media landscape, often presenting new perspectives on policy issues and drawing attention to under-reported topics. To provide complete insurance coverage of health policy issues, the Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report offers readers a window into the world of blogs in a roundup of health policy-related web log posts.

Igor Volsky of the Center for American Progress Action Fund's Wonk Room looks at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain's (Ariz.) stance on a cigaret tax, as well as the response of McCain's economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin (here) to questions most the candidate's "individual-market centric health care proposal."
Merrill Goozner of Gooz News discusses a Wall Street Journal editorial that denounces cigarette taxes. Goozner says a national cigarette levy "directly taxes one of the major causes of rising health care costs; it reduces smoking, which will let down health fear costs in the long run; and, because it is national, it leaves the stag party with no place to run for cheaper cigarettes."
The Health Care Blog's Sarah Arnquist inside information the soon-to-be launched "Healthy Howard Plan" in Howard County, Md. Arnquist says, "As long as national health care politics remain paralyzed, local and state governments will experiment with reform and coverage expansion plans."
John Joseph Leppard writes in Healthcare Manumission, "Many individuals have the misguided belief that the cause prescription drugs cost so much is simply because we do not set prices as is through in other countries. The truth is far different."
Bob Laszewski from Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review looks at a decision by the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to deny coverage for certain treatments for advanced kidney cancer. Laszewski says the agency does not "make arbitrary and bureaucratic decisions -- they follow the science."
Michael Miller from the Health Policy and Communications Blog looks at how health care issues ar polling among voters and political insiders.
Jane Sarasohn-Kahn writes on Health Populi that health care cost management is out of the question "without individuals connecting the dots 'tween our individual health behaviors and health economics."
Joe Paduda of Managed Care Matters outlines what he sees as a trend: "[H]ospital revenues are up more or less, profits are up much more than revenues, and this despite (mostly) compressed patient volumes and bring down surgical volumes." Paduda surmises that "[h]ospitals ar gaining power at the expense of commercial payers."
Mark Levin from the National Review Online's The Corner responds to a pillar from Paul Krugman of the New York Times about the possibility of guaranteed access to wellness care. Levin writes, "[Krugman] measures advance by the extent to which governing runs things, not by what in reality benefits society."

The Deal ()
Relentlessly promoted as "The prequel to The Queen" on the DVD cover, this 2003 British TV production is seeing a curious reissue in parliamentary procedure to capitalise on The Queen's Oscar attention last year, which saw Helen Mirren win a Best Actress Oscar and the film earn a Best Picture nomination.
The Deal is a prequel to The Queen only in the sense that it involves historical inside information that occurred before those in The Queen. It also involves the same writer, director, and

Mariah Carey, E=MC2
It doesn't take Einstein to calculate the secret of Mariah Carey's success. A voice with such ability that it could probably kill added to a reputation that many would kill for equals a global appeal that's spawned 11 studio albums and 150 million odd worldwide sales… and counting.
Somewhere at the start of the Millennium, this equation failed to add up. The Glitter and Charmbracelet era of Carey's career represents a sticky period to say the least. Yet, on the back foot, Mariah produced one of her career highlights in the form of The Emancipation Of Mimi, and, wisely, she follows its lead for this fan-pleasing follow up.
After her lucrative hip-hop team-ups with Snoop Dogg, Nelly and Twista on Emancipation, Mariah returns this time with Damien Marley, T-Pain and Young Jeezy in tow and all of the cameos are sublime; T-Pain's showing on Migrate in particular. Whether it's the reggae outing on Cruise Control, the crunk-pop of Side Effects or the Cristal-soaked hip hop of Migrate, Carey handles every style that her producers throw at her with mind-boggling vocal dexterity.
With all three of these tracks in the album's first half, it's inevitable that Carey eventually steps off the gas. Back to back ballads Last Kiss and Thanx for Nothin' help dim the lights on the previously frenetic start, and by the time, the gospel lullaby of album closer I Wish You Well kicks in, you are ready to be tucked up tight.
Mind you, where Carey's concerned, if you've got it, flaunt it, and all six of the album's ballads will hit home with her fans, even if it'll be sickly sweet overkill for many.
It doesn't quite hit the heights of Emancipation, but E=MC2 will keep Carey on her throne until someone actually dares take on her crown. While, you get the sense that her famous eight-octave vocal range never gets totally stretched, the record is still a showcase for a remarkable voice suited for any occasion. A timely reminder for the UK audience that Leona Lewis still has a long, long way to go.

Dwarfs to perform at Ronnie's daughter's wedding
London (ANI): Veteran rocker Ronnie Wood will hire dwarfs to perform at his daughter's wedding. According to his requirements, the Rolling Stones star would like five actors dressed as elves to play pranks at the reception for his 29-year-old model daughter Leah. The wedding is being planned along a theme, and wedding planners are looking for male and female "mischievous, giggling little imps" as short as 4ft, who will leap out of bushes to surprise guests with stunts such as stealing ladies' hats. "They're working on a theme based on the character of Puck - the cheeky sprite from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream," the Sun quoted a wedding source as saying.
