President Obama is asking Democrats to “grind it out” and stick with him and his embattled new entitlement program despite a disastrous launch and new revelations that he misled voters with claims about being able to keep their insurance.
That may work for the blue-state true believers the president spoke to in Boston on Wednesday, but “grind it out” isn’t exactly an ideal swing-state strategy. With approval for Obama and ObamaCare damaged in the rollout crash and concerns mounting rather than receding, the president’s request is a substantial one. “Grind it out” means grinding down their own poll numbers.

NEW YORK (AP) — "Star Wars" and "Trainspotting" star Ewan McGregor will make his Broadway debut next year in a revival of Tom Stoppard's "The Real Thing."
Roundabout Theatre Company said Thursday that McGregor will play the unhappily married Henry in the play under the direction of Sam Gold. Previews begin next October at the American Airlines Theatre.
McGregor was last seen on the stage in 2008 in London starring as Iago (ee-AY'-goh) opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor's (CHOO'-ih-tel EHJ'-ee-oh-fohrz) Othello at the Donmar Warehouse. He also starred alongside Jane Krakowski, Douglas Hodge and Jenna Russell in the original Donmar Warehouse production of "Guys and Dolls" at the Piccadilly Theatre in London.
McGregor will be seen next in John Wells' film adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play "August: Osage County" opposite Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.

The November issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) focuses on a variety of issues relating to clinical practice, practice management, health services and policy, and radiology education and training. Topics to be covered include imaging recommendations for acute stroke and transient ischemic attack patients; managing incidental findings on abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); CT scan parameters and radiation dose; optimizing radiation use during fluoroscopic procedures; and the increasing role of non-radiologists in performing ultrasound-guided invasive procedures.
Articles include:
Imaging Recommendations for Acute Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Patients: A Joint Statement by the American Society of Neuroradiology, the American College of Radiology and the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery
Max Wintermark, M.D., MAS; Pina C. Sanelli, M.D., MPH; Gregory W. Albers, M.D.; Jacqueline A. Bello, M.D.; Colin P. Derdeyn, M.D.; Steven W. Hetts, M.D.; Michele H. Johnson, M.D.; Chelsea S. Kidwell, M.D.; Michael H. Lev, M.D.; David S. Liebeskind, M.D.; Howard A. Rowley, M.D.; Pamela W. Schaefer, M.D.; Jeffrey L. Sunshine, M.D., PhD; Greg Zaharchuk, M.D., PhD; Carolyn C. Meltzer, M.D.
This article proposes a simple, pragmatic approach that will allow the reader to develop an optimal imaging algorithm for stroke patients at their institution.
Managing Incidental Findings on Abdominal and Pelvic CT and MRI, Part 3: White Paper of the ACR Incidental Findings Committee II on Splenic and Nodal Findings
Matthew T. Heller, M.D.; Mukesh Harisinghani, M.D.; Jeffrey D. Neitlich, M.D.; Paula Yeghiayan, M.D.; Lincoln L. Berland, M.D.
This white paper details the consensus of the ACR Incidental Findings II Committee on splenic and nodal findings.
CT Scan Parameters and Radiation Dose: Practical Advice for Radiologists
Siva P. Raman, M.D.; Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, PhD; Robert V. Blasko, BS, RT(R)(CT); Elliot K. Fishman, M.D.
A detailed understanding of a few basic CT scan parameters is essential, and knowledge of how to manipulate these parameters to produce diagnostic images at lower doses is critical for safe imaging.
Optimizing Radiation Use During Fluoroscopic Procedures: A Quality and Safety Improvement Project
James R. Duncan, M.D., PhD; Mandie Street, RT; Marshall Strother, BS; Daniel Picus, M.D.
A data-driven improvement project that includes processes for data capture, analysis and feedback has led to a substantial and sustained reduction in radiation exposure per procedure.
The Increasing Role of Non-Radiologists in Performing Ultrasound-Guided Invasive Procedures
Richard E. Sharpe, Jr, M.D., MBA; Levon N. Nazarian, M.D.; David C. Levin, M.D.; Laurence Parker, PhD; Vijay M. Rao, M.D.
From 2004-2010, non-radiologists significantly increased their utilization of ultrasound-guided procedures, and 2010 represents the first year that non-radiologists performed more of these procedures than radiologists.
