Special teams ace Morey was drafted by Carroll's Patriots in '99 Brad Biggs
The Seattle Seahawks made it official in adding the kind of player a new coaching staff always covets.
Pete Carroll added veteran special teams player Sean Morey to the field, officially announcing the signing earlier today. Morey may be near the end at 34, but he was an alternate to the Pro Bowl last season and he is a terrific presence in the locker room. He's also experienced in the NFC West coming over from the Arizona Cardinals.
Morey has ties to Carroll too. He was a seventh-round pick by the New England Patriots back in 1999 when Carroll coached the team.

Attention would-be game marketers: According to the "Customer Focus Tech Savvy" survey, Gen-Y females are suckers for the ol' special offer -- who isn't? Thirty-two percent of participating females, born between 1977 and 1994*, agreed that "special offers like free items or discounts" are the most important factor in deciding where to purchase video games. Not surprisingly, "parents" and "adults" (the other vague statistical categories polled) agreed.
Retailer owners may also take solace in the discovery that almost no one surveyed thought herself attracted to helpful staff or demo kiosks. Just stick with the swag and pimply-faced dimwits.
*Range used by survey; official Generation Y range varies: "there is no precise consensus as to which birth years constitute Generation Y. For instance, while the periodical American Demographics typically uses 1976 to demarcate the start of Generation Y, the demographers Howe and Strauss have consistently used 'the High School class of 2000,' or those born in 1982 as their demarcation" [Wikipedia].

Woman teacher groomed girl and abused position of trust
Last updated at 15:30, Wednesday, 13 August 2014
A woman teacher who groomed a girl and admitted sexual activity with her has dodged jail.
Hayley Southwell, 27, and her victim were "counting down the days" until the girl's 16th birthday after which the relationship, which had started months before, turned sexual.
She appeared at Carlisle Crown Court having previously pleaded guilty to sexual touching while in a position of trust.
It happened while Southwell was working at Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton. The victim is now a former pupil.
Gregory Hoare, prosecuting, told the court that the school had received messages about the relationship earlier this year.
On January 17, Southwell, of Birkby, near Maryport, was arrested and police searched her home.
Officers found a smartphone and tablet computer containing messages between her and the victim. These also contained a series of images and film clips. Some were of trips to places such as Alton Towers in Staffordshire, Glasgow and Nottingham.
But Mr Hoare said: "Many of these still and moving images were of an intimate, extreme sexual nature."
He explained the relationship had started when the victim was 15-years-old and she had remained this age for its first six months.
"It is plain that they were, to use a phrase, counting down the days when the girl was 16 and thereafter sexual relations did occur," Mr Hoare said. "In respect of a teaching career, it is, in effect, finished."
Dave Polglase, defending, said: "All that she has worked hard for, all that she has achieved and all that she could have gone on to achieve is now lost to her. She will have to live with that forever."
He also said that preliminary reports had praised her abilities and she had been brave to admit the crime after previously hiding her sexuality from "her mother and others".
Mr Polglase described the relationship as "consensual" and added: "This wasn't a case of grooming where a child was bombarded by unwanted texts of Facebook messages."
Neither the victim nor her parents had made any statement against Southwell.
Judge Peter Hughes QC, presiding, said: "Adolescents, boys and girls, who are discovering and coming to terms with their sexuality are vulnerable to the affections of an older and sexually aware person, such as a teacher."
Judge Hughes added that it was his opinion that Southwell had groomed her victim. "This was a relationship that began before this girl was 16-years-old and you and she were waiting for her to reach that birthday."
He sentenced Southwell to 12 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
She was also given an 12-month community order and must sign the sex offenders register for the next 10 years.

ROB GRIFFITH and GILLIAN WONG
PERTH, Australia ŌĆö A cluster of orange objects spotted by a search plane was just fishing equipment and not related to the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, officials said Monday, in the latest disappointment in the three-week hunt that AustraliaŌĆÖs prime minister said will continue indefinitely.
The crew of an Australian P-3 Orion saw at least four orange objects that were more than 2 metres (6 feet) in size on Sunday, and the pilot, Flight Lt. Russell Adams, dubbed the sighting their most promising lead in the search for Flight 370. But on Monday, Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokesman Jesse Platts said an analysis confirmed the objects ŌĆ£have nothing to do with the missing flight.ŌĆØ
ItŌĆÖs a frustrating pattern in the hunt for the Boeing 777, which vanished while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 with 239 people aboard: Search crews have repeatedly spotted multiple objects floating in the search area of the southern Indian Ocean, only for officials to later rule out links to the missing plane.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Monday acknowledged the search was incredibly complex, but said officials were ŌĆ£well, well shortŌĆØ of any point where they would scale back the hunt.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak plans to travel to Perth on Wednesday to see the search operations firsthand.
The search has evolved as experts sifted through the limited radar and satellite data, moving from the seas off Vietnam, to waters west of Malaysia and Indonesia, and then to several areas west of Australia.
ŌĆ£This is an extraordinarily difficult exercise. … We are searching a vast area of ocean and we are working on quite limited information,ŌĆØ Abbott said, adding that the best brains in the world and all the technological mastery is being applied to the task.
ŌĆ£If this mystery is solvable, we will solve it,ŌĆØ he said.
He said the search is operating on guestimates ŌĆ£until we locate some actual wreckage from the aircraft and then do the regression analysis that might tell us where the aircraft went into the ocean.ŌĆØ
Ten planes and 11 ships were in or headed to the search zone about 1,850 kilometres (1,150 miles) west of Australia on Monday, but AMSA said late Monday that nothing of significance was found. The flying time to the 254,000 square kilometre (98,000 square mile) search zone is about 2 1/2 hours, allowing a five-hour search before planes must return to Perth.
Former Australian defence chief Angus Houston on Monday began his job of heading the new Joint Agency Coordination Center, which will oversee communication with international agencies involved in the search. The Perth-based centre will position Australia to shoulder more of MalaysiaŌĆÖs co-ordination responsibilities as the search drags on.
Houston will also play a prime co-ordination role when victimsŌĆÖ families travel to Australia in the weeks ahead.
Abbott said he was not putting a time limit on the search. ŌĆ£We owe it to everyone to do whatever we reasonably can and we can keep searching for quite some time to come … and, as I said, the intensity of our search and the magnitude of operations is increasing, not decreasing.ŌĆØ
The Ocean Shield, an Australian warship which is carrying a U.S. device that detects ŌĆ£pingsŌĆØ from the flight recorders, left Perth on Monday evening for the search zone, a trip that will take three to four days. AMSA, which is co-ordinating the search, said it conducted sea trials on Monday afternoon to test the search equipment on board.
The search area remains vast, so investigators are hoping to first find debris floating on the ocean surface that will help them calculate where the plane crashed into the water.
Meanwhile, several dozen Chinese relatives of Flight 370 passengers visited a Buddhist temple near Kuala Lumpur on Monday to pray for their loved ones. They offered incense, bowed their heads in a moment of silence, knelt several times during the prayers and lowered their heads. Buddhist nuns handed out prayer beads to them. ŌĆ£You are not alone,ŌĆØ one nun said. ŌĆ£You have the whole worldŌĆÖs love, including MalaysiaŌĆÖs.ŌĆØ
Several of the relatives were overcome with emotion, tears streaming down their faces.
The family members later made a brief statement to journalists, expressing their appreciation to the Chinese government and the people of Malaysia and the volunteers who have been assisting them. They bowed in gratitude but said they were still demanding answers.
ŌĆ£To those who are guilty of harming our loved ones, hiding the truth, and delaying the search and rescue, we will also definitely not forgive them,ŌĆØ said a family representative, Jiang Hui.
The comments were seen as a small conciliatory move after relatives staged an angry protest in front of reporters on Sunday at a hotel near Kuala Lumpur. At the time, they chanted slogans, raised banners and called on the Malaysian government to apologize for what they dubbed missteps in the handling of the disaster.

Allison Hoffman has an interesting post on the November 14th Health Affairs Blog on the Risk and Reform of Long-Term Care, stemming from a presentation given at Yale Law School's recent conference on The Law of Medicare and Medicaid at Fifty.

I admire the post for its discussion of the cost to "next friends" or caregivers in our increasingly home and family based system of long term care.  Yes, what could only be described as a return to family based long term care is significant both for what it tells us about nursing home occupancy rates (trending flat or slightly down) and the work of assisting the increasingly long-lived in home and community based care (disproportionately the work of women in either setting).

Yes, Allison Hoffman makes the connection that when we are talking about family based long term care we are talking about female caregivers -- those who pay the "hidden co-pay" of diminished life and retirement chances by providing these services.  But she fails to note that, when we talk about institutional long-term care, we are also talking about female caregivers -- as nursing home and skilled nursing facility staff are overwhelmingly made up of female low wage workers -- and also female residents.  You see, the odds of your ending up in a nursing home are much higher if you are female, not just because American women still outlive American men but because families are more likely to place Mom in institutionalized care.

"Hidden co-pay" -- as marvelous as it is -- may not do justice to the real story of the impact of family based and institutionally based long term care on women.   One of the  most common nursing home resident stories is one about the institutionalization of a former female caregiver, herself, after all.

Now I have read the New York Time cover story on the trail of Ebola transmittal through one Liberian family twice.  Norimitsu Onishi has done something powerful here: weaving the individual stories of the members of the extended Dour-Doryan family in with a larger meditation on how care for the ill is delivered in poor family-based cultures. If your identity is in and through your family and you live in a place with a very modest health care infrastructure, home is -- as Robert Frost famously observed-- the place where,  when you have to go there, they have to take you in.

But, now, things are changing in Liberia. Ebola spreads quickly through families living in close quarters. But families are reluctant to deny care and physical comfort to family members. And so the blame game begins and families fracture over who brought the disease to the family and what must be done to drive it out. Interestingly, the families live in denial about Ebola's presence in the household while the neighbors always seem to see it clearly -- until their household gets involved, of course.

If the account of five year old Esther Doryan's being driven, at the end of a stick, from the extended family household doesn't make you pause, the accompaning photograph of Esther lying by the side of the road will. (Esther appears dead but, picked up by clinic workers, lives a few more weeks in a treatment facility.)

Can we make home-based, family-based Ebola care safer for family caregivers? What can we learn from Fatu Kekula?

Who or what is One Medical Group and why do they write to me every week? Yes, I understand that I own residential property in a pretty spendy zip code, hence the endless direct mail urging me to pay what amounts to $150 a year in order to be able to get a same day or same week visit with a primary care provider using my existing health insurance.  Really? Even at my California  neighborhood's demographics this wouldn't make any sense unless One Medical Group also had some insight into how difficult it is to obtain a same day or same week appointment with Anthem Blue Cross in the East Bay. Now, that's niche marketing.

Visit One Medical Group's yelp page and you'll find happy yelpers extolling their magazine selection but also noting that -- as the patient  panel has filled -- same day and same week  appointments have grown scarcer.  In other words, interesting deal for those who joined when the ranks weren't full, less certain good value now.

Why does all this remind me of the selling of restaurant reservations?  Anything at all to cut the line, is it?   Or, is it that other people must be working the system to get their needs met now and anyone who gets told their needs are less urgent is either ignorant or without resources to test that proposition?

Oh, and my favorite Yelp post at One Medical Group is from the patient aghast that the nurse practitioner did not give her all five prescriptions she demanded for what may or may not have been  a sinus infection. Yeah, if you're paying that premium, apparently you even get to make the diagnosis.

Well, the jig is up on this one.  On Tuesday of this week, HHS posted notice that insurance options that don't cover both inpatient services and physician services will be considered noncompliant with the ACA. So-called "skinny plans" have apparently been a subject of interest among self-insured employers exempt from the essential health benefits requirements.  Instead, self-insured (sometimes called non-ERISA qualified plans) only have to cover 60% of potential health costs, the equivalent of an exchange-sold bronze plan.

It was interesting while it was an option.  Now, it is no more except to linger on as an oddity in grandfathered-in programs for some brief period of time.  But, still, I want to ask what the attraction might be for employees (since they are manifestly obvious for large employers with many low wage workers moving into insured status).

First, there is always the "it is better than nothing" argument. Second, such a plan might appeal to those who are young and robust but who acknowledge they might want some value for their premiums (beyond preventive care and catastrophic insurance). A fair number of low wage workers lack commercial disability insurance, leaving it possible that they contemplate Medicaid will provide the backstop catastrophic insurance. Call it the anti-high deductible plan that gambles on Medicaid catastrophic coverage or Medicaid's relatively expansive coverage of pregnancy and childbirth.

Now, I have no idea who has been offering these plans.  Everyone seems to deny it is them. And I am not endorsing their continued operation in the wide open frontier of non-ERISA qualified plans. I'm just saying, I'd like to know if any consumers with choice chose this option.  Putting aside path dependence, if you are gong to have thin insurance, might it not make sense for some demographic groups to prefer front loaded insurance benefits?

Last week, I read Ending This Fee for All (an Op-Ed by Devin Fergus from the New York Times) about an AT&T agreement to reimburse customers for "hidden" trick-and-trap fees lurking in cellphone contracts. Devin Fergus uses "hidden" in quotes, I assume, because the charges at issue where entirely permissable under the terms of the cell phone agreement.

All of this has me thinking again about the problem of in-network Emergency Rooms staffed by out-of- network Emergency Room doctors. This is when a conscientious health plan enrollee travels to an in-network Emergency Room (often bypassing out of network Emergency Rooms along the way) only to discover, at the time of billing, that the Emergency Room may have been in-network but the independent contractor physicians employed there were not and will be billing the patient at out-of-network rates.

 Nicholas Bagley has written about the need to end these "abusive billing practices" and would have HHS invoke its authority to guarantee adequate networks to require Emergency Rooms to have a negotiated in-network contract with plans sold through the exchanges. The problem with that is that, last time I looked, only seven million Americans are insured through the exchanges. What about the rest?

Would better signage matter?  Would most Americans understand the out-of-pocket implications of a sign that said: "Be Advised: The Emergency Room Physician You See Here is Not an Employee of This Hospital"?  Given our current state of  health insurance literacy, I doubt it. For those with the resources, there is an industry of representatives who can attempt to thrash this out between you, your Emergency Room provider, and your insurer.

Of course what is really at stake here is a tremendous power struggle between Emergency Room physicians and hospitals over contract rates, each hoping to harness the consumer discontent with trick and trap in the Emergency Room to their positions at the bargaining table. Hard to say who will eventually come out the winner, though patients who may not even have access to an in-network Emergency Room contracted with an in-network Emergency Room physician in their network will be the out-of-pocket losers.

I wonder if all of this won't magnify hospital interest in acquiring more phsyician groups. And a little voice always makes we want to ask the many advocates for "patient education" if this was the kind of thing they were planning to explain to the American public?

I recently had the privilege of hearing David Orentlicher talk on this subject.  I was particularly struck by his observation that the legal landscape on this issue has changed accompanied by no change in moral views. He asserted, in short, that this is no same sex marriage-type issue. David, distinguishes between physician aid in dying and euthanasia.

I have been wondering about his observation ever since and whether they accurately reflect popular moral reasoning and understanding.  And, today, along comes a Wall Street Journal article that contains a poll testing, in part, whether popular opinion distinguishes physician assisted dying and physician assisted suicide. You guessed it, many -- but by no means all --  move away from approval of anything characterized in any way as involving suicide but support it by another name.

Now I have to wonder if this desire to re-categorize and to re-name isn't, in fact, a sign of the changing moral valence attached to certain acts.

Who else felt a shiver go up their spine when the CDC announced that any acute care facility capable of implementing strict infection control procedures should be capable of caring for an Ebola Virus case? Well, if you know anything at all about infection control success at U.S. acute care hospitals, this should have given you pause. Strict infection control in U.S. acute care facilities has not been our long suit.

When I made this observation in a talk  on health care quality at the University of Toledo School of Law's joint medical-legal conference ("Scalpel to Gavel") this past Friday, it provoked audible, if uneasy, laughter from the health care provider-heavy crowd.

The way I see it, the least well informed about health care (those who think the Ebola virus is naturally spread by airborne measures) and the best informed about health care (those who are cognizant of our astonishingly poor record on implementing infection control procedures) share a common fear.

The Ebola Virus certainly makes for some interesting bedfellows.

Here is a remarkable interview with Peter Piot, reflecting on his role in the 1976 identification of the Ebola Virus. He tells an epidemiological story about the origins of the Yambuku Virus (Ebola Virus's working name until a group of researchers decide association with one place would be too harmful to Yambuku, then changing the working name to Ebola Virus in the mistaken belief the Ebola River was the closest river to Yambuku).

The catalyst for the virus's spread?  The Belgian-nun staffed Yambuku Maternity Clinic's consistent use of unsterilized syringes for vitamin infections given to expectant mothers appears to have provided the catalyst.

Those in West Africa today who are distrustful of health care workers -- often depicted as unsophisticated, uneducated people -- may have tapped into this history.

I was asked to speak about international public health law to a class a few days ago. I chose the current flare-up of the Ebola Virus as my illustration.  You can see my ppt  Download International Public Health Law Test Case

This was a an international group with little public health law background so it was a great opportunjity to talk about the history of public health surveillance, reporting, and containment measures in the United States and elsewhere.  It also gave me the opportunity to discuss the not entirely glorious history of the use of quarantine and involuntary treatment. Finally, we learned about the WHO and its relatively recently revised international health regulations. Chastened by experience, the WHO has moved from an emphasis on containment and control at the border to a broadened emphasis on the adequacy of public health measures within a country or a group of countries as well as well as control at the border.

As I prepared my remarks, I came across J.V. Chamary's Ebola Outbreaks Visualized in Five Charts. Of course, we can only speculate as to why the 2014 Ebola Virus flare-up has killed so many with a virus that appears to be, relative to other flare-ups, less virulent.

What are the socioeconomic pressures that push people to increased contact with disease-carrying animals and increased consumption of bushmeat? Jacques Pepin's The Origins of AIDS tells a compelling story about the HIV virus and colonialism, poverty and urbanization. Who will write The Origins  of Ebola? Will it be written and read before the Ebola Virus makes the jump from an episodic isolated disease flare-up to an endemic disease?

I love the phrase "shifting revenue landscape" to describe the demonstrable effects of Medicaid expansion on hospital admissions and revenue streams. Coined by Modern Healthcare, this is the industry's way of saying that Medicaid expansion is changing acute care hospital balance sheets with more Medicaid admissions and fewer uncompensated care (read: uninsured or underinsured) admissions.

A fair number of earlier anecdotal reports on the trend are now overshadowed by HHS's report on the Impact of Insurance Expansion on Hospital Uncompensated Care Costs in 2014, documenting the trend. The trend, of course, is most prounounced in Medicaid expansion states, as part of the great migration of the low income to expansion Medicaid.

What's happening in those non-Medicaid expansion states?  Well, Medicaid hospital admissions are up as well -- possibly an after effect of streamlined and de-stigmatized Medicaid enrollment -- and uncompensated care delivery is down there as well, but by a much lower amount.

DISH payments will soon begin to contract in both Medicaid expansion and non-expansion states. Faciliities in non-expansion states that have long used DISH to fund the large number of uninsured at their gates, are announcing changed policies for eligibility for uncompensated care.

I imagine that is how Truman Medical Center ended up on the front page of the Kansas City Star on September 18th, after having announced that uncompensated care would no longer serve those with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level but, rather, assist only those with household incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

"The Change was intended to motivate people to sign up for health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act," the Star notes.  But then the article concludes without any direction as to how an individual might seek assistance with an application to purchase health insurance through  the federally facilitated exchange or, even, make an application for Medicaid.

Rescue workers found one body last night, and will resume this morning their perilous task of picking through the wreckage of two ski lodges piece by piece, perched on the side of a hill below a road that collapsed just before midnight on Wednesday, sending the buildings crashing into each other as their occupants slept.
The slide hit so suddenly that it swept away a woman who was taking a late-night stroll with her husband. Walking a few paces ahead of her, he survived.
Miraculously, only one person was staying in the uppermost lodge, Carrinya, owned by a ski club in Canberra. At weekends the lodge would be packed with families.
In Bimbadeen, the lodge downhill from Carrinya, about 19 workers employed by the company that runs the Thredbo resort had retired when the disaster struck. They are believed to be Australians and Americans.
Holidaymakers and skiers in surrounding lodges that somehow stayed standing dashed from their beds when they heard a roar that some likened to a tornado. Ron Stiebel, an Australian tourist, said: "It just looked like a vacuum cleaner had emptied a giant load of debris on to the side of the hill."
Glenn Milne, a political journalist with Australia's Channel Seven television network, was on holiday with his family in a lodge next door. He told Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio: "It was like an enormous gust of wind. It shook our lodge to its foundations. Then we heard a car alarm going off. My wife, Karen, jumped out of bed and walked out to the veranda, part of the railing of which had been taken away by the rubble.
"She said, `My God, there are cars everywhere'. As well as buildings coming down, all the terrace car parks had come down too. So cars were smashed on top of the lodges. I bundled my two little daughters up and ran them to the bottom of the hill because the whole thing was unstable.
"When I got back up, we could hear voices in the rubble, at least three. One was definitely a male. Someone I was with said there was possibly a female as well. We tried to get to them, we were trying to claw the rubble away to get to the voices. But, as we were doing so, the cars above us that had pancaked on to the concrete were teetering on the edge. We were still trying to get to them when the emergency services arrived. They took one look at the situation, identified the places where we heard the voices and ordered us out. They said it was far too dangerous.
"The worst thing about it was you just had to walk away."
Another survivor, John Hutcheons from Adelaide, said he heard voices in two areas of the rubble minutes after the slide came to a halt. "I can't be very hopeful," he said. "It's exceedingly dangerous and exceedingly difficult for the emergency service men. They can pick bits off the top, but there's a chance it may all slip away again and take them with it."
It was this uncertainty about the rubble's stability that made police delay starting the rescue operation for 12 hours on the advice of geophysical experts who were flown in by helicopter from Sydney, about 250 miles to the north. As darkness fell yesterday evening, and temperatures dropped below freezing, a chain of about 200 rescuers prepared to work through the night under floodlights.
Their hopes dimmed after sound recorders and cameras lowered into the debris failed to detect any signs or sounds of life. They feared that any survivors who might be trapped in air pockets would succumb to hypothermia after a day and two nights in freezing temperatures.
Even as the rescue operation got under way, questions were being asked about the cause of the disaster. Conservationists argue that Thredbo has been over-developed with too many lodges on the fragile mountain slope, and that the landslide was a tragedy waiting to happen.

Miranda Kerr is open to getting it on with another woman. The newly single mother of one has revealed her sexual preferences, also admitting that she is a perfectionist in bed.
Posing nude for British GQ magazine, the 30-year-old Australian supermodel said that although she needs a man in bed, she also likes women.
"I appreciate both men and women," she said. "I love the female body and truly appreciate the female form. I really enjoy sketching women, especially their backs. I definitely need a man in the bedroom, however – a nice strong chest to lie on. Still, I want to explore. Never say never."
And she's free to explore now. She has split from husband Orlando Bloom in October after being married for three years. She's "loving" her new status, though.
"Two happy parents are better than two unhappy parents. This is my time to explore and have some fun. I'm not looking to fall in love again quickly," Kerr add, adding she's "dating."
"I still get chatted up a lot. I've had some crazy, ridiculous proposals – stuff that you wouldn't even see in the movies. No blind dates, however, and I never google a man's name before I meet him."
Whoever her partner in bed currently is, he or she shouldn't be surprised if Kerr began asking for an evaluation of her performance.
"I always ask for a critique on my performance," the model revealed. I always want to better myself in every way. The older I get, the more confident I am about asking for things I enjoy."
And if there's one fitness tip Kerr can give to other women, it's probably to have sex more often.
"One thing I've noticed is now that I'm having less sex my body isn't as toned. The more sex I have, the more defined my arms and stomach get."
Kerr is rumoured to be dating media mogul James Packer, who has also split from his wife Erica Baxter, another Aussie model.
She began dating Bloom in 2007, and married him in 2010. They raise a son together, named Flynn, who was born in January 2011.

Southern Co. gets loan guarantee for nuclear plant
Published: June 21,2010
Tags: electricity, energy, nuclear energy, utilities
ATLANTA — Southern Co. is accepting $8.3 billion in federal loan guarantees from the federal government, setting the stage for the construction of the first new nuclear reactors in the United States in a generation.
The loan guarantees are contingent on the project in Burke County winning approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Southern Co. CEO David Ratcliffe called the agreement "another step forward on the road to nuclear power playing a prominent role in America's energy future."
President Barack Obama announced in February that the Atlanta-based energy powerhouse would be the recipient of the first nuclear loan guarantees, part of the Democrat's push for more non-fossil fuel energy. The company was selected despite lobbying heavily against cap and trade legislation championed by the Obama administration to combat climate change.
The Knoxville, Tenn.-based Southern Alliance for Clean Energy blasted the announcement, calling the development a "raw deal for taxpayers."
"(T)his is what it takes to build new nuclear reactors — lots of handouts and bailouts to big companies along with closed-door negotiations," the group's executive director Stephen Smith said.
Southern Co. argues the loan guarantees will save ratepayers millions of dollars in interest costs annually.
The new reactors are scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2016 and 2017.
The two new units at Plant Vogtle could be the first new U.S. reactors since the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 halted nuclear expansion.
The plan has already won approval from the Georgia Public Service Commission, which also granted Southern permission to begin charging ratepayers for some constructions costs before the new reactors come online.
The Atlanta-based Southern Co. is the nation's largest generator of electric power.
It owns utilities in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and has 4.4 million retail customers.

"Karlman" (a.k.a. Karl Rove) and Billionaire Park!
In the past few weeks the New York Times and other media outlets have spotlighted Karl Rove's new organization Crossroads GPS and his sneaky plan for returning Republicans to power in Washington DC on November 2nd, 2010.
As can be seen in this newly discovered video, Rove appears through his avatar "Karlman in Billionaire Park," boasting about how his strategy will work -- unless Americans catch on to his high jinx. Take a look for yourself:
Remember how good we all felt on November 7, 2008 watching Obama in Grant Park. It was the beginning of the change we wanted. Not Karlman's current version of change!

Christmas may be over, but many of the ornaments and their inventors will live year-to-year. John Garver is one of those people. Known to most as a twirler, his ornament lives on in Christmas history.
In 1954, he struck a deal with the Mahoning Valley-based Plakie Toy Co. to produce the ornaments. The dazzling trinkets, priced at 50 cents, were an instant hit with 1,000 sold in one day at the former Strouss' department store in downtown Youngstown, Garver said.
The next year, there were orders for 3 million and even more the following year, but a problem arose. Garver and others had been cutting the center pin — used to conduct the heat — by hand.
"It's just a common pin, but a machine was used and it dulled pins, and that was the difference as to whether it works or not,†Garver said.
The mistake ended the twirler ornament reign, he said.
Since the twirler heyday, Garver, a physicist, has invented numerous other products, ranging from tennis racket improvements to handles for jump stretch bands, and taught science in Boardman for 30 years. Still, he may best be remembered for the twirler ornaments.
"I get calls every year from people who want them. They've looked up the patent and seen my name on it,†he said. "People are still so fascinated by them.â€
