Admitting errors doesn't increase lawsuits: study
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - New research hints that when doctors are open about their mistakes, patients don't file more lawsuits and the healthcare system doesn't shell out more money in claims.
While many doctors agree that admitting to medical errors and apologizing to patients is the most ethical way to go, some worry that opening up will make an injured patient more likely to sue.
But researchers who examined the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) showed that this was not the case, and hope their example encourages more hospitals to go the way of full disclosure.
A code that requires doctors to talk with patients when something goes wrong "allows doctors to be more open about their mistakes," Dr. Allen Kachalia, the lead author from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, told Reuters Health. And, "it can help foster trust in the physician-patient relationship," he said.
Up until about a decade ago, UMHS was like most other large healthcare systems: when a patient got injured, that patient might file a claim and the system either settle with the patient or go to trial. Then, in 2001, UMHS started a new program of admitting all doctor and hospital mistakes, apologizing to patients that had been affected, and offering them compensation.
To see how this program affected hospital costs, Kachalia and his colleagues compared the total number of claims against UMHS, types of claims (lawsuit or not), and the cost of these claims before and after the program was put in place.
With the start of full disclosure, the total number of claims against the hospital decreased and the rate of lawsuits per month was more than cut in half. Total liability costs dropped, with the cost per lawsuit falling from just over $400,000 to approximately $225,000. When patients did file claims, the claims were resolved on average 5 months faster with the disclosure program than before it.
Because there were fewer liability claims overall in the state of Michigan during 2000-2007 than in earlier years, the authors say the results don't prove that the disclosure program was responsible for cutting costs and decreasing the rate of claims. But the study does show that university hospitals shouldn't be worried that being honest about errors will blow their budget, Kachalia said.
"We hope that as more institutions see this type of data, that they'll try and study (disclosure programs), and it will help improve safety down the line," he said.
The ultimate goal, said Dr. Thomas Gallagher, who studies disclosure of medical errors at the University of Washington in Seattle, is that being more open about errors will help hospitals prevent similar errors from happening again.
While future studies will have to ask patients what they think about having doctors who are open about errors, this paper is an important start to showing the benefits of such openness, Gallagher told Reuters Health.
Doctors "really struggle to communicate effectively in these situations. There's a lot of shame and embarrassment associated with them," he said of medical errors. "I think as a first step you need to demonstrate to doctors and hospitals that you can (implement) a program like this and the sky doesn't fall in."
Gallagher said that programs similar to the one at UMHS are becoming more common. As the cost of medical malpractice insurance rises and doctors and hospitals try to avoid costly lawsuits while also ensuring that patients are adequately compensated for real errors, full disclosure is one way some healthcare systems are going.
Dr. J. James Rohack, former president of the American Medical Association, said the AMA supports changes in current liability policies - including reform that would take place at the level of the federal government. The AMA also encourages studies of disclosure programs like this one, he said.
Many hospitals aren't convinced, though, said Dr. Russell Localio, a biostatistician at the University of Pennsylvania who wrote an editorial accompanying the study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
"I think a lot of organizations have found it's much more profitable to lobby for legislation" that protects doctors and hospitals against malpractice claims, rather than being honest about errors, he told Reuters Health. Localio said that more data from other hospital systems, and over a longer period of time, will be needed to get healthcare organizations to shift their focus to open disclosure.
"This is interesting and potentially promising," he said. The finding "deserves more investigation."

Honduras Bans Smoking at Home

Some New Yorkers think by banning smoking in public parks and pedestrian plazas, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gone too far in his war on tobacco. Well, those people will want to avoid Honduras. The San Francisco Chronicle picks up an AP story about the country's latest anti-smoking efforts, which include a $311 fine for smoking in your own home. The law doesn't actually ban smoking in a person's home but Hondurans can be fined or even thrown in jail if anyone in their house calls to complain of second-hand smoke.

Barber and Reisman Suggest All Gay People Are Pedophiles or Advocate Pedophilia
Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel and Liberty University School of Law continued to argue that the gay rights and feminist movements tacitly advocate pedophilia during today's Faith & Freedom with visiting Liberty University law professor Judith Reisman. Barber claimed that the anti-bullying group GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) "sexualizes children" and is "running interference for the pedophile movement" and "making [children] receptive to potential advances from adults."
Reisman said that "the whole point of the objective" of GLSEN's anti-bullying efforts was to promote pedophilia. She went on to claim that "the aim of homosexual males and now increasingly females is not to have sex with other old guys and get married but to obtain sex with as many boys as possible."
Such claims from the right-wing activists are not new, as Barber once said that "GLSEN tacitly advocates sexual abuse" and Reisman called GLSEN "a modern version of the Hitler Youth."
Barber: Now I talk about the sexual anarchy movement and their larger goals, the pedophile movement is one branch, the homosexual activist movement is another branch, you know the pro-abort wing with Planned Parenthood and people like that. Part of the homosexual activist movement for instance is GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network, they partner with the National Education Association and create a curriculum that seeks to indoctrinate children into the idea that homosexuality is normal, natural and good. This sexualizes children and aren't they really running interference for the pedophile movement here? By sexualizing these children, making them receptive to potential advances from adults?
Reisman: Well yes of course Matt, that's the whole point of the objective of the activity. And I don't distinguish them, this is all part of the pedophile movement.
Reisman: We know that pedophilia, which was the original Greek they say it's 'love of' but of course it isn't, it's 'lust for' boys. And there's a strong, clear, cross-cultural, historical reality, people don't want to do deal with, but the propaganda has been loud and strong to deny the fact, the aim of homosexual males and now increasingly females is not to have sex with other old guys and get married but to obtain sex with as many boys as possible. That's the reality. I wish it weren't, but it is.

Zime (Beta) Review
Who says iOS gets all the best looking apps? Zime proves Android has plenty to offer
It's a bit of an urban myth that because of its harsher approval policy, the sleeker, better-looking apps of this world are more likely to be found on the App Store than on Google Play. This is something that Zime is happy to try and prove wrong, with a unique 3D interface that literally gives new dimensions to your calendar and organisational side.
The home screen of the app sees the days both ahead and just passed curve down the screen as though towards you, creating a cool 3D effect against the artistic background image. The interface itself is also very responsive, with accurate taps for users to drop in tasks at specific times, and pinch-gestures to extend the length of the task or event you want to drop in. This can all be done via the drop-down menu and data input, but the gestures method is more than accurate enough.
Zime may still be in beta but the app is already impressively functional and feature-filled, with calendar syncing from your Gmail account as well as Facebook, and the ability to prioritise the tasks you drop into your calendar in a separate list. On the subject of tasks, one piece of functionality that did catch our eye is the way users can set different types of tasks. For example, if it is time sensitive then there is a fixed-task option that applies a time and date to the to-do. However, there is also a 'floating' option, which is ideal for those less pressing tasks that can sit on the back-burner for now, but need to be fresh in the mind.
Although Zime has to-do and calendar in its extended name, it feels much more like an intuitive, all-round organiser. This is further highlighted by the inclusion of a timeliness chart, where you can keep track of how on-the-ball and on-time you are for certain engagements each month. Each one of your events is logged here, and you can use a scroll bar to say whether you were early or late in arriving. This data is then used to build a graph you can monitor.
Everything in Zime then is geared to making your life a smoother running operation, and it does a great job, while maintaining some very good looks, too.
A very promising app in beta, and well worth keeping an eye on.

A 15-YEAR-OLD Greenwich police cadet has been given a Met award for bravery after he rescued an elderly woman from her burning Eltham home while on his paper round.
Joshua Robertson was delivering Sunday papers when he saw smoke billowing from a house in Alderwood Road in July last year.
The student of St Paul's Academy, in Greenwich, banged on the door and found a woman in her 70s who refused to leave her home despite the kitchen being ablaze.
The schoolboy alerted neighbours, who called emergency services, before covering his face and re-entering the house where he persuaded the woman to leave the building.
Joshua said: "She was very shocked and distressed and as I rushed into the house I saw that the kitchen and parts of the floor were on fire.
"It seemed that the fire had started from the toaster.
"I told the woman that she had to get out right away but at first she wouldn't leave."
Both were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation but were discharged later the same day.
He added: "Looking back I feel very happy and proud that I was able to help save her life. I don't think she would have left her house without my help."
The volunteer police cadet was awarded an Assistant Commissioner's Commendation for his bravery at a ceremony held at New Scotland Yard on January 10.
He says skills learned as a cadet, volunteering in an Abbey Wood care home and his experience during Duke of Edinburgh's Award training all helped him remain calm in the situation.
Superintendent Parm Sandhu, from Greenwich borough police, said: "Joshua joined our Volunteer Police Cadets a year ago and in that short time, he's proved to be popular and hardworking.
"He's also extremely modest - we only found out about his life-saving efforts after his fellow cadets told us.
"It's an amazing story and many people would have given up at the first attempt and waited for the Fire Brigade to arrive.
"However, Joshua didn't give up, and having already seen the extent of the fire, he rushed back into the house and undoubtedly saved the lady's life in doing so.
"Joshua's bravery, tenacity, calmness and quick thinking are in keeping with the best traditions of the Metropolitan Police Service, and his efforts are all the more astonishing considering he is one of the youngest members of the police family."

I'm hoping ATHX becomes another ALZA..
Seems like a great buying opportunity.
At 8:30 a.m.,p.s.t.,LNCO up $0.54.
AMZN on sale today,down $22.
Thanks for the warning Donkeyhead.I just bought more LNCO at $23.50
I sure hope you hung onto your shorted shares.LNCO already up $0.70 this morning.Great move donkeyhead!
Smart move!
Have you ever thought that MGMT.is getting killed here too,after all they too must own stock in LNCO and more than likely they have a hell of a lot more LNCO stock than you and I put together.
I give my cousin credit.He owns 60,000 shares of JNJ.What a dividend he gets,$168,000.a year plus his pension.
LNCO's lower price has created opportunities for long term investors wanting to buy shares at lower prices.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari will not lead or participate in the ruling-PPP campaign for the next general election scheduled for early next year, Religious Affairs Minister Khursheed Shah said Wednesday.
Shah, considered a close confidant of the President, made it clear during an interaction with reporters in Islamabad that Zardari would not lead the PPP's election campaign.
Zardari is also the co-chairman of the PPP and plays a key role in guiding the party's activities and the government's policies.
The federal minister commended Zardari for his role as President of Pakistan.
In the past, presidents had harmed democracy while the serving president was the "greatest defender of democracy", Shah said.
None of the Governors would be changed after a caretaker administration is formed to oversee the upcoming election, Shah said.
Last month, Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira had said the next general election would be held in May.
He said there was "no chance" of the polls being postponed.
The upcoming polls will mark the first transfer of power from one democratically elected government to another in Pakistan's history.
The Supreme Court recently said in a judgement that the President should be non-partisan and have no political affiliations.
It further ruled that the presidency should not be used for political activities.
The Lahore High Court is currently hearing a petition seeking action against Zardari under the contempt of court law for not acting on an earlier order that said the President was expected to give up his post in the PPP.
Leaders of the PPP have defended the political activities of the President, saying he is a part of parliament and this allowed him to participate in active politics.
At the same time, the PPP is firming up plans to launch the political career of Zardari's son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is the nominal chief of the party.
PPP leaders have indicated that Bilawal will play a key role in the party's election campaign.
However, Bilawal cannot contest polls till he turns 25 in September next year.
Bilawal is expected to make a full-fledged entry into electoral politics from the Bhutto family's traditional stronghold of Larkana in Sindh on his mother Benazir Bhutto's death anniversary on December 27.

Converting Groovy to Ruby
In this post, Glen Stampoultzis posts a very interesting and clever sequence of steps by which he converts a piece of Java code into idiomatic Groovy code. I thought it was a nice article, so I'll do a very short spin on it: taking Glen's final Groovy code and converting it into idiomatic Ruby. (I'll probably get my pants flamed …
running intermediate steps
I have no experience of JRuby but it is worth noting that every version on the way from Java to Groovy was runnable on the JVM. This would, therefore, make a nice series of small refactorings to a codebase which has only recently embraced Groovy as well as Java
Ye, and here's the same in python:
def subn(n, list):
if not n : return [[]]
if not list : return []
remainder = list[1:]
return [it+[list[0]] for it in subn(n-1, remainder)] + subn(n, remainder)
4 lines, cleaner synthax. Ruby can suck it. :)
Groovy v Ruby
Nice article, but what I find ironic about this article is that it does more to promote Groovy then Ruby.
What this article is saying to me is that you can almost line by line write ruby like code using groovy.
If that is the case it leaves me with the question, why would any Java developer bother to learn Ruby over Groovy.
After all you can write almost the exactly the same efficient code in Groovy that you can in Ruby, but with Groovy you gain the benefit of it's excellent integration with Java, that is far superior to JRuby.
Java programmers aren't "afraid" or incapable of learning Ruby, any competent Java programmer should be able to easily learn Ruby or almost any language like Python, etc.
What Java programmers worry about is how do you move onto more efficient languages like Ruby, while still maintaining your investment and many years of experience of Java, it's many frameworks, all the thousands of lines of legacy Java libraries you have written and integrate with all you legacy J2EE apps.
The great thing about Groovy is that you have all the benefits of Ruby's terse code, while still being able to maintain complete compatibility with all your existing Java code and libraries.
As an example I'm currently writing many classes in Groovy, compiling them and then deploying them in our legacy Spring application server. Our legacy app server doesn't know anything about Groovy and it doesn't need to know, it just sees byte code files, brilliant.
Basically Groovy allows you to access the best of both worlds.
Ruby is a great language to learn if you are new to programming, but I've yet to hear a single good reason for an experienced Java programmer to move to Ruby over Groovy? What would the benefit be?

From the Aberdeen Evening Express:At the height of the gale, the harbour master radioed a coast guard and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff.

Spotters Guide Could Help Astronomers Locate Black Hole Collisions

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a striking view of a multiple star system called XZ Tauri, its neighbor HL Tauri, and several nearby young stellar objects.
While many galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their core, a new study published in the journal Nature has revealed a truly exotic phenomenon – a galaxy more than four billion light years away with three orbiting supermassive black holes at its center.
The discovery of a superdense neutron star in a stellar triple system has made it possible for researchers to collect the best measurements to date of the complex gravitational interactions present in these types of systems, according to a new Nature study.
Astrophysicists from the Astronomical Observatory of the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw say the next collision of monstrous stars will not occur until billions of years from now.
An international team of scientists led by astronomer Adam Deller (ASTRON) have used the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to set a new distance accuracy record, pegging a pulsar called PSR J2222-0137 at 871.4 light-years from Earth.
Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have blended science, technology and art to create a unique new website that allows people to listen to original musical compositions crafted from cosmic x-rays.
A team of researchers used telescopes around the world to study the most massive neutron star confirmed so far, orbited by a white dwarf. The scientists wrote in the journal Science that so far the new observations match up with Einstein's predictions for general relativity.
In this podcast, Dr. John Millis spoke with Vanderbilt's theoretical physicist Kelly Holley-Bockelmann about how stars die and black holes form.
Einstein predicted gravitational waves almost 100 years ago. According to his theory, whenever massive objects interact, they produce distortions in the very fabric of space and time that ripple outward across the universe at the speed of light.

The Valerie Project The Valerie Project
- Words: Josiah Hughes
- Label: Drag City
- XLR8R Rating: 8/10
The Valerie Project is the complex brainchild of Greg Weeks, best known for his work in Philadelphia psych-folk group Espers. With nine others, including electronic legend Charles Cohen, The Valerie Project set to write and perform a new soundtrack to the 1970 Jaromil Jireš film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Recorded in eight days, the 30 tracks that comprise The Valerie Project demonstrate an otherworldly mysticism where electric guitar solos, fuzzy noise, and classical harps coalesce beautifully. At 74 minutes, the record's ambitions are strengthened by the fact that its compositions are so stunning, rendering The Valerie Project a success with or without the film.

Australia Day celebrated in Heathcote
McIvor Community Award winners Colin Stobaus and Charles Davies were recognised at Australia Day celebrations on Sunday.BARBARA SUNGAILA January 30, 2014 4:01am
This year's McIvor Community Award winners, Colin Stobaus and Charles Davies, have both made important and lasting contributions to the community.
Mr Stobaus was nominated by Heathcote SES controller Steve Johnson.
Mr Johnson said Mr Stobaus had been involved in many different activities and committees in Heathcote, and was a key player in the construction of the new SES headquarters.
''Col took me to Bendigo for meetings with building surveyors, DSE and SES regional HQ,'' Mr Johnson said.
''When the building permit eventually came through, Col acted as project manager.
''Col was there for approximately three weeks, full-time, at no charge and used his influence in the building industry to organise voluntary labour.
''We now have a beautiful building.
''Looking at the plaque on the 1993 building reminds me (that) when we built the original building, Col organised a team to pour the slab at no charge.''
Mr Johnson also mentioned Mr Stobaus's contributions to the Lions Easter auction, the Lions Estate, the cricket club, the community bank and his current presidency of Heathcote Golf Club.
''This is all I can think of but there's probably dozens of projects and committees Col's been on,'' he said.
Mr Stobaus said it was humbling to win.
''It came out of the blue
He said his extended family would be at the award ceremony which was even more special for Mr Stobaus because his three sons and his sisters ''who are spread far and wide'' were in town to see him receive his award.
Junior Citizen of the Year Charles Davies was nominated by Allisyn Clouston on behalf of Heathcote Tennis Club.
Mrs Clouston said Mr Davies had displayed a consistent interest in leadership and had the qualities needed to take an active and constructive role in the community.
''Charles is an outstanding role model for the youth of Heathcote and an inspiration of self-motivation and consideration of others,'' she said.
Mr Davies has been involved in the Heathcote Junior Football and Netball Club since 2003, both as a player, volunteer and club official.
''During Charles's tenure, whilst playing for the Heathcote under 17 team, the under 14 team was in fear of collapsing because they could not secure a suitable coach,'' Mrs Clouston said.
''This would mean that all the kids in this age group would be forced to leave the game they loved and either play outside of Heathcote or in fact never return to the sport.
''This concerned Charles, so in his true leadership and community spirit he volunteered to coach the team for the season rather than see the under 14 team disband.''
Mr Davies also plays senior football, tennis and cricket and is about to begin studies at Latrobe University this year, following his dream to become a paramedic.
He is involved with tennis coaching and has recently become secretary of the tennis club.
He said it was a huge honour to win the award.
''Not many people get to win such a thing, I guess it's good to see people appreciate what I do,'' he said.

Lindsay Kline took the third, and to date last, hat-trick to be bowled in South Africa. He looks back at those three eventful balls
November 6, 2011

Players/Officials: Lindsay Kline | Ian Craig
Series/Tournaments: Australia in South Africa Test Series
Teams: Australia | South Africa
As the Australians made their way to Cape Town for this week's first Test, Lindsay Kline was at home in Melbourne, reflecting on his own achievements in the city 54 years ago.
Remarkably, nobody has taken a Test hat-trick in South Africa since Kline achieved the feat in 1957-58, while the remaining nine Test nations have all hosted a hat-trick this century.
Kline's effort at Newlands was all the more special as it came in his second Test match and it won Australia the game, the last three South African batsmen failing to handle his left-arm wrist-spin. That gave Ian Craig's Australians a 1-0 lead, and they went on to take the series 3-0, a fine result for a group labelled by the press as the weakest Australian side ever to embark on a tour.
In the first Test, in Johannesburg, Australia fielded four debutants, one of whom was Kline. He didn't take a wicket at the Wanderers, but he certainly made his mark in the second Test.
After the Australians scored 449 in the first innings (Jim Burke's 189 the highlight), South Africa struggled against the legbreaks of Richie Benaud and Kline, who took four and three wickets. These days it's almost unheard of for a side to play two spinners in South Africa. Back then it was the norm.
"South Africa in those days didn't play the spinners particularly well," Craig told ESPNcricinfo. "If you go back to Clarrie Grimmett and Bill O'Reilly, they [South Africans] always had trouble with legspinners. Obviously Lindsay caused problems for them too."
South Africa made 209 and followed on, and by the time Benaud demolished the middle order and took his ninth wicket of the match, the result was certain. At 99 for 7 in South Africa's second innings, Kline began his magic.
"Not quite like it was yesterday, but I'd say I remember it like it was a week ago," Kline said last week. "I bowled to Eddie Fuller. It was just my ordinary legbreak to a right-hander, coming in from the off. He pushed forward and Richie took a catch close in.
"Then Hughie Tayfield came in. He wasn't a bad player; he made a few runs in his time. I bowled it a bit quicker. It was my legbreak - I told people it was a flipper, but it wasn't. It skidded a little bit and he was plumb in front. It must have been close, because they were South African umpires!"
Then No. 11 Neil Adcock walked to the crease. In 99 first-class matches, Adcock didn't score a single half-century. He was the kind of man any bowler would want facing a hat-trick ball. Craig set the field in close and Kline walked back to his mark and considered his options.
|"Then Hughie Tayfield came in. I bowled it a bit quicker. It was my legbreak - I told people it was a flipper, but it wasn't. It skidded a little bit and he was plumb in front. It must have been close, because they were South African umpires!"
"I thought to myself, I'll bowl my legbreak," Kline said. "I thought he could play back and be lbw or bowled or caught in close. But on my approach I changed my mind and bowled my wrong'un, and it pitched off stump. He played forward and got the edge."
At first slip, Bob Simpson, also in his second Test, moved low and to his left to take a blinder.
"I didn't realise until about a week later, when I saw it on Movietone News, how good a catch it was," Kline said. "It was low and he had to move a couple of feet. It went between him and the keeper. It was a very, very good catch. He's definitely the best catcher I've ever seen.
"That finished the Test. We won the Test on those three. It was a great celebration. I was thrilled to bits." All the same the celebrations were, as was typical in those days, understated.
"We were very excited for him because he was a hell of a nice fellow," Craig said. "We were just so pleased for him. I don't think there was quite the amount of enthusiasm or high-fiving that happens now. It was a little bit more subdued than that. I'm sure we patted him on the back, though."
It was to be the last hat-trick taken by an Australian for 30 years, until Merv Hughes achieved the feat across two innings of a Test against West Indies at the WACA. And then of course, another Victorian wrist-spinner followed Kline into history, with a hat-trick in a Boxing Day Ashes Test.
"The three dismissals of Warnie's and mine, we dismissed the three batsmen for 0," Kline said. "He [too] had one caught and one lbw and the next one caught. It was the only hat-trick I ever got at any level. Shane Warne told me he'd only got one as well. I tell people my career was pretty similar to his. The only difference is, he got 700-odd wickets and I got 34."
Kline only played 13 Tests but he squeezed plenty of action into them. He went on to face the last ball of the 1960-61 tied Test, when his partner, Ian Meckiff, was run out, and he batted for an hour and 50 minutes to secure a draw in the same series against West Indies in Adelaide.
And to this day, he took the last Test hat-trick in South Africa.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah lawmakers moved one step closer Monday to passing a measure that would help fill a revenue gap left by an unprecedented exodus of students on Mormon missions by allowing public colleges and universities to offer in-state tuition to high-performing students from other states.
The Utah House education committee unanimously passed the measure, which would allow school presidents to waive the out-of-state portion of tuition for "meritorious" students, a short discussion. The Utah Senate approved the bill earlier this month.
Enrollment is down this spring at nearly all of Utah's colleges and universities, and they are expecting bigger dips in the fall. Higher education officials are projecting losses in the millions over the next 2 1/2 years due to the lost tuition.
Mission applications have doubled since The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in October it was lowering the minimum age for missionaries: from 21 to 19 for women; and from 19 to 18 for men. Now, new, younger missionaries are preparing for missions at the same time as older missionaries who were already planning to go.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Stephen Urquhart, R-St. George, said the measure gives university presidents a tool to help them avoid having to scrap the barrel to find replacement students.
"Let's go out and compete for the best and brightest," said Urquhart. "They will stay, they will create jobs, they will help our economy."
The bill, as currently written, would allow university presidents to continue to give in-state tuition to non-residents students as long as they are enrolled in the school.
When questioned why the bill doesn't sunset at any point, Urquhart said Monday that he wants to see how it plays out and if it helps bring better out-of-state students.
David Buhler, Utah Commissioner of Higher Education, told the committee that all eight state universities and colleges support the measure. He called it a useful and worthwhile tool, and urged the committee's support.
Enrollment is down 1-7 percent at eight Utah universities and colleges compared to the same time last year, show figures from the Utah System of Higher Education and the LDS-owned and operated BYU. The only school to report an increase is the University of Utah, where enrollment is up by less than 1 percent.

A mom at 12: Sex-abuse victim to receive $3M from DSHS
A woman who gave birth at age 12 says she suffered 15 more years of abuse at the hands of her mother's boyfriend because the state failed to investigate properly. Her legal settlement is one of the biggest ever against the Department of Social and Health Services in a single-plaintiff case.
Seattle Times Olympia bureau
OLYMPIA — Washington state has agreed to pay $3 million to a woman who claimed officials did not properly investigate when she gave birth at age 12 after receiving essentially no prenatal care.
As a result, the woman, who identified herself by the initials R.R., said she was made to suffer 15 more years of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of the baby's father — her mother's boyfriend.
R.R. will now receive one of the biggest-ever legal settlements from the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) in a single-plaintiff case, according to the state.
"This was an outrageous failure on DSHS' part," said Michael Pfau, who along with Jason Amala represented R.R. "They did virtually no investigation concerning a 12-year-old pregnant girl, which allowed her to essentially be held captive for over a decade and raped on a daily basis."
The settlement averts a trial in a lawsuit filed in Pierce County Superior Court in April 2012.
State officials said they did not acknowledge any wrongdoing in the settlement.
DSHS spokeswoman Mindy Chambers said the state did investigate after the 1995 pregnancy and provided parenting support to the preteen but was not informed by the sixth-grader or her mother of any sexual abuse.
The man has not been charged with abuse.
Yet state documents, provided by Pfau and Amala, paint a puzzling picture of DSHS' investigation into the pregnancy.
A "summary assessment" completed in March 1996 noted that "there has been expressed concern by an older daughter in the family of physical and verbal abuse by the mother's boyfriend, and possibly sexual abuse."
The document added that "the whole situation raised lots of questions, but there was no evidence of any neglect of the infant."
Ultimately, according to the document, "the caseworker had never pushed for a lot of information, as it was hoped to just get a foot in the door and establish a trust level."
Any gained trust proved pointless because the family left the state shortly after R.R. gave birth.
Pfau, who called DSHS' apparent strategy "really shocking," said officials should have discovered the abuse without having to be immediately and explicitly told about it.
"When they get a report like this, there are a number of things they're supposed to do to isolate the child, make them feel comfortable, try to get them to report. Kids don't tell unless you do those things," he said. "You don't basically just wash your hands and not do anything."
Pfau said R.R. gave birth in Boise, Idaho, to another child by her mother's boyfriend 10 months later.
After that, Pfau said, the abuse continued as the family moved around Washington, Idaho and Utah.
Pfau said R.R. was first allowed to use the Internet when she was 27 years old. She left the family and filed the lawsuit after receiving encouragement from a friend she met in an online chat room, he said.

FIFA 12 outsold PES 2012 by 25 to 1 says EA
While FIFA 12 has enjoyed a meteoric release this year, EA reckons that they've wiped the floor with the competition.
General manager of EA for Northern Europe, Keith Ramsdale reckons that FIFA 12's sales figures have put their nearest rival, Konami's PES 2012 to shame, out selling it by 25 to 1.
Ramsdale explained: "FIFA went out just a couple of weekends ago. We had record pre-orders and record sell-through. And when you look at Pro Evolution Soccer versus FIFA, only five years ago in the UK PES was outselling FIFA. On its first weekend like-for-like we've just outsold PES by 25 times. That's a sign of the momentum and the fanbase and community behind FIFA, and let's be clear, an absolutely kick-a**e game. It's unbelievable."
Ramsdale didn't given any figures to back up his claim but FIFA 12 did become the fastest-selling football game of all time when it released on September the 30th while PES 2012 only managed to reach 5th in the charts after its release last Friday.
