Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Film examines Olympic hero's German triumph, U.S. tragedy
The one thing Jesse Owens never needed -- unless, that is, he was sprinting against a thoroughbred racehorse -- was a head start.
But PBS gives the famed U.S. Olympian a chance to get out of the gate early, airing its new American Experience profile a couple of months before the inevitable crush of Olympic-year programming overwhelms the prime-time lineup.
It's a smart move -- Jesse Owens, which airs tonight at 7 on Prairie Public TV, is a fascinating and surprisingly in-depth biography that deserves not to be lost in the looming wave of London-games clutter.
The hour-long documentary, produced and directed by Laurens Grant and narrated by Andre Braugher, offers the expected overview of Owens' athletic achievements and the sociopolitical impact of his quartet of gold-medal wins at the 1936 Olympics in Hitler-ruled Germany. But it also provides a deftly layered portrait of the track star as a human being whose worldwide fame and popularity were ultimately not enough to break down the barriers of racism he faced in his own country.
The film opens with a look at Owens' early life, from his birth in Alabama in 1913 and his family's move to Cleveland in the early '20s to escape the south's racial oppression; his early athletic exploits are described, including his rise to national prominence as a member of Ohio State University's track team.
It's then that Jesse Owens becomes really interesting, as the film traces the parallel lines of the sprinter's early success and the rise of Nazi fanaticism in Hitler's Germany.
Owens, for his part, nearly opted out of the games, having joined a group of U.S. athletes calling for a boycott of the '36 Olympics because of Germany's rising tide of anti-Semitism. Pressure from American Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage -- a known Hitler sympathizer -- eventually forced Owens and others to keep quiet and participate in the games.
After his first gold-medal triumph, in the 100 metres, Owens was denied the traditional privilege of being congratulated by the host nation's leader. "Do you really think I will allow myself to be photographed shaking hands with a Negro?" said Hitler.
Two more events (long jump, 200 metres), two more gold medals. Officially, Owens' Olympic commitment was fulfilled, but at the last minute, he and African American teammate Ralph Metcalfe were added to the 4 x 100 relay team in place of Jewish sprinters Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller -- after U.S. officials bowed to pressure from the Germans, who would apparently rather have had blacks win medals than Jews.
Owens, again, was a reluctant participant, but his fourth gold medal simply added to his fame.
Unfortunately, when Owens returned to the U.S., wondering which of the many lucrative offers he'd received in Berlin he would accept, he found the back-home reality to be rather stark and depressing. On a hero's-welcome tour of New York City, he and his wife were unable to find a hotel that would accept black customers; when one manager reluctantly agreed to take them in, it was with the condition that Owens enter and leave through the service entrance.
Employment proved hard to come by; eventually, Owens became a novelty act, accepting exhibition races against horses for the public's amusement.
"A lot of people felt that he was not dignifying himself," says daughter Beverly Owens Prather. "But when you have a family to feed and you have no job, you do what you have to do to feed your family, as long as it's honest."
Shortly after having been the most beloved athlete in the world, Owens was jobless, broke and in trouble with the IRS. He faded into anonymity for more than a decade; it wasn't until the late '50s, at the dawn of the Cold War, that he returned to public life as what one observer describes as "a professional good example" of what America aspired to be.
As much as it is a story of triumph, Jesse Owens is -- as PBS producer Mark Samels offers -- "a cautionary tale of the ephemeral life of an athlete ... (and) an emblematic story about sports in America."

Continuing to look the part of the perfect princess, or duchess rather, Duchess Kate stepped out on Oct. 24 in a stunning navy blue Jenny Packham gown for the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Benefit Gala (a leading non-profit organization for professionals in the alternative investments industry) -- only her second formal event since giving birth to her son in July.
PHOTOS: Kate's stunning post-baby style
The 31-year-old Duchess of Cambridge attended the event one day after baby Prince George's highly-publicized christening. Kate continues to impress with her trim post-baby figure and stellar fashion sense.
The Brit wore her chestnut hair down with large curls, and her skin looked healthy and glowing. Kate wore minimal jewelry, opting just for a simple bracelet and her wedding ring.
PHOTOS: Prince George's baby album
When asked about her son's christening at the gala, Middleton replied, "He was such a good boy actually, we're very lucky,he's not always like that, but… the people there, lots of action going on, it's slightly distracting."
With hubby Prince William by her side, Middleton wore a sequin Jenny Packham gown to her first post-baby red carpet appearance at the Tusk Conservation Awards at the Royal Society in London on Sept. 12.
Thursday's Packham gown is dark navy blue with short sleeves and a V-neck cut. Britain's Mirror reports that the dress retails at £3,580 (about $5800).
For Prince George's christening, Middleton wore a cream-colored Alexander McQueen dress with a matching cream fascinator.
The royal family's official christening portraits have been released.

NCIS Scores 25 Million Viewers for First Time in Show History
NCIS topped 25 million viewers for the first time ever, according to Nielsen live plus 3-day lift for Tuesday, Jan. 15.
NCIS added +2.50m viewers (25.36m from 22.86m), +1.0 rating points in adults 25-54 (6.8 from 5.8) and +0.8 in adults 18-49 (4.7 from 3.9) live plus 3-day lift from live plus same day.
This is the first NCIS broadcast to deliver more than 25 million viewers with live plus 3-day lift or live plus 7-day lift.
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, leads this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, an ex-homicide detective whose instincts in the field are unparalleled and whose quick wit and humorous take on life make him a team favorite; former Mossad agent turned NCIS Special Agent Ziva David, perhaps the most dangerous member of the team, and NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field. Assisting the team is the youthful and energetic forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, a talented scientist whose sharp mind matches her Goth Style and eclectic tastes, medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, who knows it all because he's seen it all - and he's not afraid to let you know it -and Ducky's protégé, Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer. Overseeing the operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

Jags, Paul Posluszny agree to deal
NFL Transactions Analysis
ESPN.com's division bloggers react to all of the big NFL free-agent signings and trades throughout the frenzied post-lockout period. Blog
• Insider: Instant analysis
• Scouts Inc.: Free-agent tracker
The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed with linebacker Paul Posluszny on a six-year deal worth $45 million, with $15 million guaranteed.
Posluszny, a 2007 second-round draft pick out of Penn State, completed his four-year contract in 2010 with the Buffalo Bills. He will turn 27 in October.
Posluszny labored with the decision, a source said, because he wanted to stay with the Bills. He decided on the Jaguars because of the chance to play middle linebacker in a 4-3 defense. The Bills have switched to a 3-4.
After missing much of his rookie season with a broken arm, he was a three-year starter at linebacker for Buffalo.
He led the Bills with 151 tackles last season.
Ravens agree to $32M deal with YandaThe Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement with their top free agent, right tackle Marshal Yanda, the team announced Tuesday.
The deal is for five years and $32 million.
Drafted in the third round of the 2007 draft, the 6-foot-3, 315-pound Yanda is equally effective at guard and tackle.
Retaining Yanda was a priority for general manager Ozzie Newsome, who cleared salary-cap space for the sturdy lineman dumping the contracts of four notable veterans.
Rams, Mikell agree to 4-year dealThe St. Louis Rams have reached an agreement on a four-year deal with former Philadelphia Eagles safety Quintin Mikell.
The contract is worth $28 million, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Mikell spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Eagles. Mikell tallied 88 tackles, three interceptions and one sack last season.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported earlier Tuesday the Eagles were planning to let all their unsigned free agents leave Philadelphia, "including starters such as Stewart Bradley, Mikell and Sav Rocca and backup running back Jerome Harrison."
Texans, receiver Jones reach dealThe Houston Texans reached agreement with wide receiver Jacoby Jones on a $10.5 million, three-year deal that includes $3.5 million in guaranteed money, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Jones had 51 catches for 562 yards and three touchdowns last year.
Packers strike 5-year deal with kicker CrosbyKicker Mason Crosby has agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the Green Bay, agent Mike McCartney told The Associated Press.
In four seasons with the Packers, Crosby has made 78.1 percent of his kicks and missed only one career extra point. He made 78.6 percent of his kicks last year and hit a career-high, 56-yard field goal in the season opener against Philadelphia.
With training camp set to open Friday, the Packers' roster is slowly taking shape. On Tuesday, the team told veteran linebacker Nick Barnett that he would not be returning.
Source: Chiefs agree to deal with veteran WiegmannThe Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a one-year, $2.25 million deal with veteran center Casey Wiegmann, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.
Wiegmann had been considering retirement. Earlier this offseason, his agent said the 38-year old center was "50-50" to return in 2011. However, agent Joe Linta told ESPN.com's Bill Williamson on July 18 that Wiegmann wanted to play this year.
Wiegmann extended his consecutive snap streak, which began in 2001, to beyond 10,000 in 2010.
Wiegmann, who came back to Kansas City in 2010 for his second tour of duty with the team, started all 16 games last season and he was a big part of the offensive line that paved the way for the No.1-ranked run offense in the NFL.
Kansas City drafted center Rodney Hudson of Florida State in the second round in April, but Wiegmann could still get a chance to start.
Rayner plans to re-sign with LionsKicker Dave Rayner is ready to re-sign with the Detroit Lions.
The former Michigan State Spartan made 13 of 16 field goals for Detroit last season after longtime kicker Jason Hanson went down with an injured right knee.
Michigan State spokesman John Lewandowski, who spoke to Rayner on Tuesday night, says Rayner plans to re-sign with Detroit once teams are allowed to sign veteran free agents.
Rayner is an unrestricted free agent. Teams can talk to veteran free agents, but can't sign them until Friday.
Source: Raiders agree to deal with DE MossThe Oakland Raiders have reached a one-year agreement with former first-round pick Jarvis Moss worth $1.25 million, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.
After being released by the Denver Broncos last November, Moss was picked up by the Raiders six days later and tallied three tackles and one sack in his five games with Oakland. He can be officially signed on Friday after 6 p.m.
Moss spent four years in Denver after being taken with the 17th overall pick in the 2007 draft after starring at the University of Florida. He was the victim of scheme changes by the Broncos, who switched from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense in 2008.
Moss will provide depth at the defensive end position in Oakland's 4-3 scheme and should contribute on special teams as well.
Source: Vikings, Aromashodu agree to deal
The Minnesota Vikings have reached an agreement on a one-year contract with former Chicago Bears wide reciever Devin Aromashodu, a league source tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The 27-year-old Aromashodu caught 10 passes for 149 yards in 10 games with the Bears last season.
Aromashodu joins an uncertain stable of receivers in Minnesota. Sidney Rice is a free agent and might not return, while the status of veteran Bernard Berrian remains up in the air.
Jets agree to four-year deal with Hunter
The New York Jets made their first free-agent move Tuesday, agreeing to a four-year contract with Wayne Hunter.
His agent, Ken Zuckerman, confirmed the deal, but declined to release the terms.
This means the Jets are unlikely to re-sign Damien Woody, whom they released in February. It also means they believe second-year lineman Vladimir Ducasse, projected as the starting right tackle before the lockout, isn't ready to step in.
Eagles sign rookie RB DevineThe Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday signed rookie free-agent running back Noel Devine.
A former standout at West Virginia, the 5-foot-8, 170-pound Devine ran for 4,315 yards and 29 touchdowns on 728 carries as a Mountaineer, and also caught 98 passes for 710 yards and two touchdowns.
Devine also averaged 21.6 yards on 34 kickoff returns at West Virginia, and finished with 5,761 all-purpose yards, the most of any Mountaineer in program history.
He is a native of Fort Myers, Fla.
The Eagles will report to Lehigh University for training camp on Wednesday.
Source: Dolphins agree to deal with DevlinDelaware quarterback Pat Devlin, one of the top undrafted players, reached a three-year agreement with the Miami Dolphins, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.
Devlin will go to Miami and compete against incumbent quarterback Chad Henne for playing time.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Devlin threw for 3,032 yards and 22 touchdowns last season. He went to Delaware after transferring from Penn State.
The Arizona Cardinals were among the many teams to contact Devlin Monday night, but Devlin picked the chance to compete for playing time in Miami as his best option.
Bears to sign Sanzenbacher
The Chicago Bears continued to build their class of undrafted rookie free agents Tuesday, agreeing to a deal with Ohio State receiver Dane Sanzenbacher and Northwestern defensive tackle Corbin Bryant.
Sanzenbacher was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2010 after leading the conference in receiving yards (948) and touchdown catches (11).
Bryant is a former standout at Morgan Park Academy. He had 25 tackles and 8½ tackles for a loss this season.
Sources said the club is expected to sign Oregon State center Alex Linnenkohl, Virginia Tech tight end Andre Smith, Pittsburgh safety Dom DeCicco, Troy outside linebacker Mario Addison, Mississippi State center J.C. Brignone, TCU receiver Jimmy Young, Texas A&M-Kingsville linebacker Tressor Baptiste, NW Missouri State cornerback Ryan Jones and Purdue tight end Kyle Adams.

Product description
Mastering the Guitar is an innovative, exciting way to learn the guitar. Co-authored by William Bay and Mike Christiansen, this extremely comprehensive method applies the internationally acclaimed Mel Bay teaching concept to the vast array of musical styles and techniques found in today's music. Written in notation and tablature, it covers guitar solo and accompaniment styles ranging from Celtic, to Classic, to Cajun; from Flamenco to Fiddle tunes; from Renaissance, to Rock, to Reggae; from Baroque, to Blues, to Bluegrass; from Latin, to Country, to Jazz. A special feature of this method is that it teaches both flatpicking and fingerstyle solo accompaniment techniques. Book 1B covers the keys of D, A, E, F, D minor, and B flat. In addition, book 1B has over 130 solos and duets and over 40 comprehensive scale and picking studies. Numerous chord progression studies and chord accompaniment pieces and etudes are also included. A companion double compact disc set is available for this book. We feel that Mastering the Guitar is the most comprehensive approach to guitar technique repertoire and performance to be found anywhere. Mastering the Guitar 1B CD is a special double companion CD set to the new comprehensive Mel Bay method of the same title. These CD's contain almost all of the solo and duet settings found in the book and are performed by William Bay, Mike Christiansen and Corey Christiansen. The recordings present an eclectic assortment of guitar styles played on steel string guitar, nylon string guitar and electric guitar. Some of the selections feature fingerpicking; others feature the use of the flatpick. The keys covered on this recording are D, A, E, F, D minor, and B flat. BothCD's contain over 100 minutes of recorded guitar solo and duet material.

Oakland, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Coco Crisp hit a three-run triple and the Oakland Athletics held off the Minnesota Twins for a 6-5 victory in the second tilt of a four-game set on Friday.
Eric Sogard had a two-run double and Stephen Vogt scored twice for Oakland, which has won 11 straight games against Minnesota.
Scott Kazmir (13-4) earned the win despite allowing five runs with four strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings of work.
Chris Parmelee hit a two-run double and Kennys Vargas finished 2-for-4 for the Twins, who have dropped three straight.
Kyle Gibson (10-9) gave up six runs -- five earned -- on five hits and five walks over five-plus frames in defeat.
Oakland went ahead 4-0 in the fifth. Vogt got aboard with a leadoff walk, moved to second on Sam Fuld's bunt single and advanced to third on first baseman Parmelee's throwing error. Sogard walked to load the bases.
Crisp ripped a bases-clearing triple to deep center to get the A's on the board. Crisp later scored on catcher Kurt Suzuki's passed ball for a 4-0 lead.
"Fortunately I was able to find a gap and knock a few runs in," Crisp said.
The A's tacked on two more runs in the sixth. Josh Reddick started the frame with a walk and Vogt singled. Anthony Swarzek took the mound and both runners moved up on Fuld's groundout. Sogard's liner to right landed for a two-run double.
Minnesota countered with five runs in the seventh. Danny Santana singled and Brian Dozier walked before Trevor Plouffe and Oswaldo Arcia hit RBI singles around a Vargas strikeout. Two batters later, Parmelee's liner rolled down the left-field line and bounced off the glove of Brandon Moss, scoring two runs and ending Kazmir's outing.
Eduardo Nunez greeted Ryan Cook with an RBI double to center, making it a 6-5 game.
Luke Gregerson spun a perfect eighth and Sean Doolittle struck out two in the ninth to earn his 18th save of the season, which is a new franchise record for saves in a season by a left-handed pitcher.
Oakland's bullpen extended its scoreless streak to 28 2/3 innings, setting a
franchise record ... The A's have been held scoreless in the first inning in
17 straight games ... Oakland leads the season series, 5-0.

Recruitment of mercenaries for Abkhazia is under way in Dagestan
Publication time: 31 March 2002, 01:01
The Leader of the Information Center of the United Command of Mujahideen of Dagestan, Zeid Dagestani, gave a brief interview to Radio Kavkaz where he reported that Russian authorities started to recruit mercenaries for combat operations in Abkhazia.
Zeid Dagestani:
According to our reports, the recruitment of mercenaries into Russian gang formations for participating in combat operations on the territory of Abkhazia has started. In particular, such work is being conducted in Buinaksk military headquarters. At the same time, under the threat of physical reprisal against their relatives, young men from Chechnya are being drafted into Russian armed forces which are now being deployed in Dagestan. Manipulations with conscripts are also being conducted in other republics of Caucasus.
We are convinced that such actions by Moscow have clearly outlined goals and tasks. The Kremlin is trying to turn the growing war for national liberation by the nations of Caucasus against Russian empire into an internal conflict in Caucasus. Russian leaders have plans to seriously split the nations of Caucasus in order to retain the territories of Caucasus occupied by Russia. According to these plans, a native of Caucasus will be supposed to kill his fellow Caucasian native, a Muslim will be supposed to kill a fellow Muslim, and a Christian will kill his fellow Christian.
As we already know, the secret recruitment for the war in Abkhazia is also under way in other republics of Northern Caucasus. There they promise mercenaries large sums of money. Massive anti-Georgian propaganda is being conducted among them. During confidential conversations with potential mercenaries Russian secret services officials are promising them land and houses on the territory of Abkhazia (in the resort area), as well as on the territory of Georgia. According to the reports from our sources, on March 18 at the Buinaksk military headquarters some official from Russian secret services, who identified himself as FSB Colonel Andrievsky, during his conversation with the mercenaries who signed the contract, stated that «the Americans along with Chechens and Georgians want to attack Abkhazia and take that territory away from Russia. We must forestall it and be in Tbilisi before the Americans settle there...»
Since your radio station is heard by many people in Caucasus, I would like to seize the opportunity and call on all Dagestanis on behalf of Dagestani Mujahideen not to fall for Moscow's provocations and not to play the disgraceful role of a puppet in the dirty hand of Kremlin puppeteers. If you do not want caskets from the Caucasus front to be coming to your cities and villages, do not yield to the persuasions and promises of Kremlin criminals. Boycott the service in Russian army which turned into a gang of robbers and murderers long time ago».

2014 Toyota Tundra Review
Toyota knows the full-size pickup truck market is a tough one to penetrate
and is a segment still dominated by the Big 3 from Detroit - Silverado,
F150 & RAM. The refreshed 2014 Tundra adds a luxury model, updated interior
and refined exterior.
2014 Toyota Tundra takes on Ram 1500 & the Ike Gauntlet Towing Test ( Episode 4 )
( http://www.TFLtruck.com ) The 2014 Toyota Tundra Pickup is built to tow.
But is it better than the Ram 1500 We decided to find out by putting both
pickups up against each other in a Mega Mashup Sequel. Once again both
trucks tow the old Lincoln Continental Mark V Diamond in the Rough up one
of the steepest and highest American Highways. From Dillion, Colorado to
the Eisenhower Tunnel U.S. I-70 climbs 8 miles to a maximum elevation of
11,158 feet or 3,401 meters. That's enough elevation and grade to test the
most powerful of pickups. Is the Toyota Tundra up to the task of towing a
over 7,000 pounds up to the top of the tunnel?
In fact according to Toyota this pickup can tow up to 9,600 pounds. That's
enough weight to need a commercial truckers license in most states. In this
first TFLtruck Ike Gauntlet video review we test the truck up the Ike
Gauntlet see how fast it will tow around 7,200 pounds of old American

Alabama Officials: Coal Regulations Violate God's Will
Last week, Peter introduced us to the field of biblical economics, the Religious Right's effort to claim scriptural backing, however tenuous, for conservative economic policies.
And now, out of Alabama, we get a perfect example of biblical economics at work. AL.com reports on a press conference delivered by officials from the Alabama Public Service Commission and the Republican National Committee yesterday at which they argued against new EPA coal plant regulations by claiming that "coal was created in Alabama by God, and the federal government should not enact policy that runs counter to God's plan."
"Who has the right to take what God's given a state?" asked commissioner-elect Chip Beeker.
The paper notes that the "press conference was held in the offices of the Alabama Coal Association."
Two members of the Alabama Public Service Commission, a member-elect and an Alabama representative to the Republican National Committee said proposed EPA regulations that aim to reduce power plant carbon emissions by 30 percent represent "an assault on our way of life" and are a purposeful attempt by the Obama administration to kill coal-related jobs.
"We will not stand for what they are doing to our way of life in Alabama," said PSC President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh. "We will take our fight to the EPA."
At their news conference today Cavanaugh and PSC commissioner-elect Chip Beeker invoked the name of God in stating their opposition to the EPA proposal. Beeker, a Republican who is running unopposed for a PSC seat, said coal was created in Alabama by God, and the federal government should not enact policy that runs counter to God's plan.
"Who has the right to take what God's given a state?" he said.
Cavanaugh called on the people of the state to ask for God's intervention.
"I hope all the citizens of Alabama will be in prayer that the right thing will be done," she said.
Also speaking in opposition to the EPA plan were PSC Commissioner Jeremy Oden and Paul Reynolds, an Alabama representative to the Republican National Committee.
One of the commissioners at the press conference, Twinkle Cavanaugh, last year kicked off a meeting on power rates with a prayer against marriage equality .
Cavanaugh will testify today at an Atlanta EPA hearing on the regulations.

Per Arnold Kling…
Being a libertarian, I want to reprogram $3 billion in federal biomedical research to its original owners.
Per Arnold Kling…
Being a libertarian, I want to reprogram $3 billion in federal biomedical research to its original owners.
My latest post reminded me that back in 1997, I actually produced a number of papers surrounding the creation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program — also known as SCHIP, but which I prefer to call MediKid.
One of those papers is a two-pager titled, "Congress Can't Help Uninsured Kids If it Doesn't Understand Them." The data are old, but the argument is still relevant to the current debate over MediKid reauthorization.
But what I really wanted to share was this paper: "Top Twelve False Claims Made about the Hatch-Kennedy Children's Health Coverage Bill." You see, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) was a principal sponsor of MediKid, which was enacted by a Republican Congress. (That's right. MediKid — like Medicare Part D — is a Republican health care entitlement.)
In that paper, you will find documented refutations of the following claims supporters made about the Hatch/Kennedy/MediKid/SCHIP bill. Some of the claims may seem familiar to those watching the current reauthorization debate. See if you can guess which one was made by Sen. Hatch himself:
Have you made your guess? If so, click here:
Aha! Trick question! All claims came from the conservative Sen. Hatch, except for #3, #8, and #9.
My insincere thanks to Sen. Hatch for moving America that much closer to socialized medicine. And my sincere thanks to the Heartland Institute for giving those old papers a home on the web.
Last October we estimated that unfunded costs for state and local government health care plans were about $1.4 trillion nationwide. That is the amount that taxpayers will be hit unless governments cut excessive benefits for teachers, firemen, and other workers.
Some new estimates have been released since our report, and it appears that we were conservative.
That was the name I gave the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), before it even had a name, 10 years ago this month.
It appeared in a paper I wrote for Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation titled "MediKid: Whose Idea Was This, Anyway?" At the time, I foolishly hoped the paper would head off this Orrin Hatch/Ted Kennedy love-fest. CSEF issued the paper just as the House and Senate were about to go to conference on different versions of the program.
Ten years later, MediKid is about to expire. As Congress and the president are trying to figure out just how much more to spend on this ill-advised program, I thought it would be fun to share a few gems from my 1997 paper:
Congress is about to cast one of its most damaging votes ever against children's health. Taking a page from the Clinton administration's playbook, Congress will soon vote to expand government-run health care for children and continue the slow march toward imposing government-run health care on everyone. Instead of wasting over $8 billion on "MediKid" proposals, Congress should help parents protect their children's health by providing additional tax relief to families…
Congress has debated the issue of uninsured children under the premise that 10 million American children are unable to obtain health coverage — a premise that is utterly false. In fact, fewer than two million children in the U.S. are chronically uninsured.
Acting on this false premise, Congress has designed new government programs to give health coverage to low-income children. Over five years, these programs will waste more than $8 billion duplicating services already provided by the private sector. Worse, MediKid will actually harm children's health by making parents less able to meet their children's basic health needs.
In 1993, the Clinton administration's Health Care Interdepartmental Working Group conceived of a strategy to nationalize health insurance by providing government coverage to children first and later phasing in the adult population. Ironically, a Republican Congress' MediKid proposals are now implementing that strategy.
About the number of uninsured children:
This poor understanding of the dynamics of the health coverage market has led to inane solutions. The Senate MediKid proposal targets children too affluent to be eligible for Medicaid yet below 200 percent of the poverty level. The [Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation] reveals there are only 1.4 million chronically uninsured children in this income category. Nevertheless, the Senate designed a program to cover 2.8 million such children.
About the slow march toward government-run health care:
Congress' MediKid proposals are a step toward nationalized health coverage. In 1993, the White House Health Care Interdepartmental Working Group devised a number of strategies for nationalizing health insurance. What the task force called "Option 3: Kids First Coverage" was a plan to move children out of the private health insurance market into government-run coverage as "a precursor to the new system" of national health insurance. The task force wrote:
This proposal is designed in two parts which will be implemented simultaneously: 1) The quick coverage of children — "Kids First"; and 2) the development of structures for transitioning to the new system and the phasing in of certain population groups.
Does anyone actually doubt that that's the whole point?
Critics of pro-growth tax policy are perpetually vigilant for opportunities to condemn the Laffer Curve as a free-lunch scheme pushed by political hacks who want to claim that all tax cuts pay for themselves. And while it is true that some tax-cut advocates are too aggressive in their assertions, the critics often are guilty of knocking down straw men (while dodging the real issue, which is whether the right kind of tax rate reductions lead to growth and the degree to which that higher growth leads to revenue feedback).
The latest skirmish in this long-running battle revolves around a Wall Street Journal editorial on corporate tax rates. The WSJ's editorial included a graph showing corporate tax rates and corporate tax revenue and included a line purporting to show that the revenue-maximizing corporate tax rate is somewhere between 25 percent and 30 percent, a bit of artwork that has been criticized by Brad DeLong and Mark Thoma.
But if the Laffer Curve is an absurd notion, why did the World Bank (hardly a bastion of supply-side thinking) report that "high tax rates do not always lead to high tax revenues. Between 1982 and 1999 the average corporate income tax rate worldwide fell from 46% to 33%, while corporate income tax collection rose from 2.1% to 2.4% of national income. … A better way to meet revenue targets is to encourage tax compliance by keeping rates moderate." And if the Laffer Curve is discredited, someone needs to tell the European Commission (a bureaucracy infamous for trying to harmonize corporate rates at high levels), which recently admitted that "it is quite striking that the decline in the corporate income tax rates has not resulted, so far, in marked reductions in tax revenue, both the euro area and the EU-25 average actually increasing slightly from the 1995 level."
Or, shifting from corporate taxes to broader measures, how about new research from two German economists (neither of whom are known as supply-siders), which reported that, "We find that for the US model of a labor tax cut and of a capital tax cut are self-financing in the steady state. In the EU-15 economy of a labor tax cut and 85% of a capital tax cut are self-financing."
Or what about the experience of Ireland? Would critics deny that that there has been a Laffer Curve effect in Ireland, where corporate tax revenues have jumped from less than 2 percent of GDP to more than 3 percent of GDP (a result that is all the more impressive considering the rapid growth of GDP in the Emerald Isle)? And are they really willing to categorically deny any supply-side response following the Reagan tax rate reductions? The 1997 capital gains tax cut? The 2003 tax rate reductions?
Tax-cut advocates should be careful not to over-state the revenue feedback caused by tax cuts – especially for tax cuts that are poorly designed (such as the Keynesian rebates and credits adopted in 2001). But opponents of lower tax rates are equally misguided (or disingenuous) if they blindly assert that changes in tax policy never impact economic performance, and thus never cause revenues to rise or fall compared to static estimates.
Unfortunately, revenue estimating today is based on the absurd notion that tax policy does not affect macroeconomic performance. During 12 years of GOP rule in Congress, Republicans failed to modernize the revenue-estimating process at the Joint Committee on Taxation. No wonder they deserved to lose.
Queues in Massachusetts! A fascinating article [$] in today's Wall Street Journal reveals that Massachusetts residents wait an average of seven weeks for an appointment with a primary-care physician. The queues apparantly have nothing to do with the new Massachusetts health plan – aside from illustrating that a paper guarantee of "health coverage" does not necessarily translate into health care:
"Health reform won't mean anything for the state's poor if they can't get a doctor's appointment," says Elmer Freeman, director of the Center for Community Health, Education, Research and Service in Boston…
"Health-care coverage without access is meaningless," Gov. Deval Patrick said in March…
"I thought insurance was supposed to be some kind of great thing, but it hasn't changed" anything, [newly insured hairdresser Tamar Lewis] says.
No, the big question that article raises is, why is the market not resolving the shortage of primary-care physicians?
One hint can be found in the first two sentences of the article:
"Tamar Lewis runs a makeshift hair salon out of her one-bedroom apartment in Roxbury, a low-income neighborhood [in Boston]. She's 24 years old and has been cutting hair since she dropped out of high school in 2002."
There's a good chance that Ms. Lewis is breaking the law. Massachusetts requires hairdressers – yes, hairdressers – to be licensed by the government. Asipiring hairdressers must (a) complete "a course of at least six months, which course must have included 1000 hours of professional training in a cosmetology school approved by the Board," (b) pass an examination, and (c) pay a fee before they may become an apprentice hairdresser. After completing two years as an apprentice, the aspiring hairdresser must pass another exam and pay another fee to become a licensed hairdresser. Licensing a salon requires paying a fee, having an approved floor plan, and other restrictions that make it unlikely that Ms. Lewis' salon is up to code. In all likelihood, the enlightened Commonwealth of Massachusetts could nail young Ms. Lewis for cutting people's hair without a license, operating an unlicensed salon, and employing an unlicensed hairdresser (herself).
Too subtle? Another, much bigger hint can be found in an oped titled "Our Soviet Health System" [$] that the Wall Street Journal ran last month:
The limited number of endocrine specialists is a not a consequence of limited demand – everyone is aware of the epidemic of diabetes we are facing. There are also shortages of generalists and other specialists, and the reason is the absence of market signals – i.e., market-based prices – for influencing the supply of physicians in various specialties…
The essential problem is this. The pricing of medical care in this country is either directly or indirectly dictated by Medicare; and Medicare uses an administrative formula which calculates "appropriate" prices based upon imperfect estimates and fudge factors. Rather than independently calculate prices, private insurers in this country almost universally use Medicare prices as a framework to negotiate payments, generally setting payments for services as a percentage of the Medicare fee structure.
Many if not most administratively determined prices fail to take into consideration supply and demand. Unlike prices set on the market, errors are not self-correcting. That is why, despite an expanding cohort of patients with diabetes, thyroid disease and other endocrine disorders, the number of people entering this field is actually dropping. Young physicians are accurately reading inappropriate price signals.
Darn those stubborn market failures.
A headline in the Washington Post (the actual newspaper, not the online version) reads:
Montgomery Still Lacking Consensus on Growth Policy
The article explains that officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, are having trouble agreeing on rules for limiting economic growth while leaving room for development. "I don't think there is consensus on much of anything at this point," said County Council member Nancy Floreen.
One reason that there's no consensus, of course, is that there's no consensus. The county's 900,000 residents don't all agree on who should be allowed to build new homes and businesses, who should have their property rights limited, who should pay the bills, and so on. This is why Hayek said that planning was not compatible with liberal values. The only values we can agree on in a big diverse society, he wrote, are "common abstract rules of conduct that secured the constant maintenance of an equally abstract order which merely assured to the individual better prospects of achieving his individual ends but gave him no claims to particular things." That is, you set up property rights and the rule of law, and you let people run their own lives without being allowed to run other people's lives. Try to go beyond that, and you're going to infringe on freedom.
As I wrote a few months ago, another newspaper story reported
"As a consensus builds that the Washington region needs to concentrate job growth, there are signs that the exact opposite is happening.
Over the past five years, the number of new jobs in the region's outer suburbs exceeded those created in the District and inner suburbs such as Fairfax and Montgomery counties … contradicting planners' 'smart growth' visions of communities where people live, work and play without having to drive long distances."
Maybe if tens - hundreds - of thousands of people aren't abiding by the "consensus," there is no consensus: there is just a bunch of government-funded planners attending conferences and deciding where people ought to live. It's like, "Our community doesn't want Wal-Mart." Hey, if the community really doesn't Wal-Mart, then a Wal-Mart store will fail. What that sentence means is: "Some organised interests in our community don't want Wal-Mart here because we know our neighbours will shop there (and so will we)."
In her book It Takes a Village, Hillary Clinton calls for "a consensus of values and a common vision of what we can do today, individually and collectively, to build strong families and communities." But there can be no such collective consensus. In any free society, millions of people will have different ideas about how to form families, how to rear children, and how to associate voluntarily with others. Those differences are not just a result of a lack of understanding each other; no matter how many Harvard seminars and National Conversations funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities we have, we will never come to a national consensus on such intimate moral matters. Clinton implicitly recognizes that when she insists that there will be times when "the village itself [read: the federal government] must act in place of parents" and accept "those responsibilities in all our names through the authority we vest in government."
Governments would do better to set a few rules of the game and let market enterprises respond to what people really rather than try to push people into conforming to planners' visions and phony consensuses.

Abraxis BioScience Announces Plan to Separate Into Two Independent Public CompaniesLOS ANGELES, CA | Posted on July 2nd, 2007
Abraxis BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABBI) today announced its intention to separate the company's hospital-based product business -- Abraxis Pharmaceutical Products (APP) -- from its proprietary product business -- Abraxis Oncology and Abraxis Research (the new Abraxis BioScience) -- in a transaction that will result in two independent, highly focused public companies. The transaction would enable each company to deliver on their strategic visions and compete more effectively in their specialized marketplaces with their differing capital requirements and business mandates. The transaction is subject to obtaining a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the separation will be tax-free to Abraxis BioScience and its shareholders.
