Develop HIX Now, MD Official Urges States
He asked for a show of hands from attendees representing states where there is public/political/legal opposition to the ACA. Then he asked that group if they had noticed executive departments working clandestinely with private sector and nonprofit participants to lay the foundation for the eventual implementation for the ACA. The show of hands confirmed, he says, that even in states where the ACA is opposed, progress is being made to implement healthcare reform.
Maryland was among the early adopters of provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Brown says that on the day President Obama signed PPACA into law, the governor of Maryland established the Healthcare Reform Coordinating Council to help implement the PPACA. "I can say that there was a significant amount of anxiety among stakeholders who wondered what the Affordable Care Act meant for them."
Brown notes that while some states have voiced concerns about the exponential increase in healthcare costs that may come as part of healthcare reform, Maryland officials are convinced that the state has more to gain than lose.

Girl born with 3 legs to have 2 removed
Updated On: Jul 03 2014 11:56:23 AM CDT
A 22-month old toddler from Panama born with three legs will have surgery next month in Los Angeles to remove the two that don't work.
Ana Paula, who was born a conjoined twin, also has three kidneys. She underwent a procedure to separate her from her twin when they were 20 days old, but her sister did not survive.
Doctors at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Los Angeles will remove her middle leg in the procedure, reported Los Angeles TV station KTLA. Since the knee and foot aren't functional on her right leg, doctors plan to amputate it at the knee or higher and fit Ana with a prosthetic.
Ana's type of medical condition is so rare that there are only about 12 survivable cases like hers each year in the world, Dr. Kit Song, chief of staff for Shriners Hospitals for Children – Los Angeles, told KTLA.
Ana's trip to Los Angeles along with her mother and her treatment is being made possible through a joint effort between the hospital and the Children of War Foundation, which secured funding for her medical costs and long-term rehabilitative care.

- Logic Behind Ferguson Grand Jury's Decision Not To Indict Police Officer May Remain Mystery
FOLSOM (CBS13) – A federal grand jury has indicted a former Folsom hospital nurse on charges of producing or attempting to produce child pornography.
The four-count indictment alleges Daniel Ratner produced the images involving a child last August and tried to create similar material with six other children.
Read Federal Indictment: US V RATNER
Investigators say Ratner tried to hire the first victim to make child porn last May. He then tried again a few months later and was able to allegedly get the minor to "engage in sexually explicit conduct for…visual depictions of such conduct."
Investigators say he tried to get six other children to do the same. Meanwhile, he was allegedly preying on a victim he could easily take advantage of, while on the job as a nurse at Mercy Folsom.
The now-fired nurse is accused of sexually abusing a female patient in the intensive care unit of the prestigious hospital. Ratner allegedly took pictures of her in compromising positions.
No one answered Ratner's door when CBS13 came knocking, but a neighbor said the suspect lives with his wife, who is also an ICU nurse.
Federal court documents filed in the child porn case say investigators collected potential evidence from the home, including a clock radio, computer and external hard drive from Ratner's Folsom home on Nov. 23.
CBS13 asked Mercy Folsom staff whether anymore patients came forward to claim they were victimized by Ratner. They say they're continuing to work with police and on their own internal investigation. If Ratner is found guilty, he faces up to 30 years in prison for each of the four federal counts.
He's facing state charges for the allegations at the hospital and now has the federal indictment hanging over him as well. A judge raised Ratner's bail from $75,000 to $500,000 earlier this week.

Be proud!
Laura says that even though it might
not work out the way you want it to, you'll feel oh-so proud of yourself for
trying something new. After all, what've you got to lose?
No regrets
Do you really want to sit out all
season when ya could've given try-outs your all and made the team? Of course
not! "Remember," says Laura, "you're more likely to regret the things you don't
try than the things you do." So go for it, sistah!
Talk it out
"See if you can talk to the coach and get a few pointers
before trying out," Laura advises. "Then try practicing on your own in the
weeks leading up to tryouts." Got a friend who's already on the team, or an
older sib who's a super jock? Ask 'em to practice with you. There's no harm in
seeking help, so when they offer up pointers, be grateful and learn as much as
you can.
It's OK to be nervous
Laura says it's totally normal to be
a tad bit jittery before try-outs. In fact, those butterflies in your stomach
can even help ya perform better. If your nerves get out of control, though,
learning a few relaxation techniques—like meditation, deep breathing and taking
a mental vacay—can calm you down when it matters most.
