Written by Phil Guarnieri Thursday, 18 July 2013 00:00
A quarter of a century has now passed since I first set foot on the lush, rolling farmlands of a quaint little town called Gettysburg. My journey to this picaresque destination was not a bucolic rendezvous with nature but a pilgrimage into the vortex of history where a new nation was forged in blood and musket fire. Amid these fairest shades of earth a battle of monumental proportions was fought, an encounter that would decide the fate of a young Republic defined by the loftiest expressions of freedom, yet burdened by the existence of slavery.
By July 1, 1863, the country had been at war with itself for 27 months; a bloody fratricidal conflict over slavery and secession dividing North and South. The perpetuity of the Union was at stake and President Lincoln was committed to the idea of indivisibility: Physically speaking we cannot separate. We cannot remove our sections from each other, nor build an impassable wall between them.
Nevertheless the war came. After winning a series of stunningly brilliant victories in the South, Confederate commander Robert E. Lee now daringly marched north. While the Army of Northern Virginia had performed magnificently, the war on the Western front, with the vital city of Vicksburg under siege, was going poorly. The South was dramatically disadvantaged in terms of population, factories, railroads (New York State alone had more industrial output than the South) and Lee realized he could no longer fight a war of attrition. As casualties accumulated, political pressure mounted in the North for a peaceful settlement. A successful invasion would yield Lee supplies he desperately needed for his hungry and ill-fitted army and might well put a final nail in the coffin of the warmongers of the North, destroying Lincoln's prospects for re-election in 1864 and securing nationhood for the Confederacy, a status Lincoln had sedulously denied.
So Lee marched north toward Gettysburg. The irony was that neither Lee nor George B. Meade, appointed just 3 days earlier as Commander of the Army of the Potomac, chose this ground of pastoral settings, pocket-sized forests and rocky outcrops to fight upon. From the beginning of the campaign Lee was blind. His redoubtable cavalry commander Jeb Stuart was supposed to provide intelligence, screening Lee's advance into Pennsylvania, but fortuitously for the North, the encampment of the Union army lay astride the route Stuart was to follow, forcing the cavalry commander to swing ever farther left. It was more than fate, however that brought Lee, or for that matter, Meade, to Gettysburg. By either chance or design 10 roads radiated out of Gettysburg and beckoned both armies into the bosom of battle.
Peering about this hallowed ground, I imagined the horror of this farmland littered not only by dead and dying soldiers, but also horses and beasts of burden. At the Trostle farmhouse, the 9th Massachusetts alone lost 80 out of 88 horses during the fighting on July 2. That was the least of it. It was said that in the "Wheatfield" of Gettysburg you could walk from one end to the other without touching the ground because of the the twisted human corpses that lay prostrate on the earth. The very topography of the battlefield is dotted with iconic touchstones of heroism and sacrifice that are as sacred to the Civil War buff as the "Stations of the Cross" are to the devout Christian: "Little Round Top," Cemetery Ridge," "Culp's Hill," "The Peach Orchid," "Devil's Den," and "Bloody Angle" all became part of the sacred real estate of American history and folklore.
For 3 interminable days, 170,000 soldiers clashed repeatedly as the battle seesawed back and forth leaving in its wake an unimaginable 51,000 casualties. No machine guns, air strikes or tanks crashing through the brush: Just boys from Pennsylvania killing boys from North Carolina and vice versa. I will relay briefly, the shifting fortunes of the battle:
The first day boasted Confederate victories but also lost opportunities. Despite Lee's encouragement, General Ewell decided his troops were too battered and exhausted to take Cemetery Hill, a prominent crest with high strategic value.
Ewell's declination would have fateful consequences for the outcome of the battle. I'm convinced that if Stonewall Jackson, Lee's greatest general, had not two months earlier been killed at Chancellorsville, Cemetery Hill would have been seized and the victory would have been a Confederate one. I never subscribed to Leo Tolstoy's underlying premise in War and Peace that human beings are captive to fate and larger forces; one man with the right stuff can make a difference.
Obtaining the high ground would also define the fighting on the second day, the pivotal moment occurring when Union General G.K. Warren secured a position called Little Round Top. It would, however, be left to Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, a Bowdoin College professor of rhetoric, to defend it from onrushing Confederates. His ammunition virtually exhausted after repelling several charges, Chamberlain ordered his badly outnumbered 20th Maine down the slope in a bayonet charge against two Alabama regiments saving the vital far left of the Union line. Ever since, Little Round Top would rank with Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and the Alamo as a ringing symbol of American valor and determination.
On July 3, the third day, Lee remained confident of victory. Convinced Meade had strengthened his flanks at the expense of his center, Lee ordered a frontal assault forever immortalized as Pickett's charge. It would be Lee's greatest mistake and it cost him the battle if not the war. Like boiling water, the controversial order percolates as hotly now as it did then. General James Longstreet, Lee's superb second in command, counseled Lee against the assault: "General, I've been a soldier all my life. I've fought from the ranks up, you know my service. But sir, I must tell you now, I believe this attack will fail. No 15,000 men ever made could take that ridge.
Nevertheless, the charge was made in what's been called "the high water mark of the Confederacy." Incredibly, the plan almost succeeded. But if nothing quite succeeds like success, then nothing quite fails like failure. Fewer than half of the Confederate soldiers from its three divisions returned. Meade, believing his own troops too battered from the strife did not counterattack. A torrential rain soaked the earth as Lee retreated back to Virginia, his wagon train stretching 17 miles and carrying more than 8,000 wounded, but leaving many thousands of wounded behind.
On a chilly November morning in 1994, my wife and I stood where the famous charge was made, which is now memorialized by a magnificent statue of Lee on his horse Traveller. With the morning mist hanging over the landscape like a heavy sigh, I tried to imagine the Confederate line, almost a mile and a half long, making the charge over nearly a mile of open ground. Suddenly, riding out of the vaporous moisture I espied, to my disbelief, 3 Confederate soldiers on horseback galloping toward us. I half expected
Rod Serling, with his ever present cigarette, to appear out of the shadows and introduce another episode from the Twilight Zone. But it was no apparition as the three horsemen from Virginia (re-enactors) halted before the statue, unsheathed their sabers and saluted this son of the Confederacy in an act of filial devotion. Though he killed more Americans than Adolph Hitler and Imperial Japan combined, Robert E. Lee is perhaps the most beloved general in American history. Just another paradox in a paradoxical war.
Pondering these killing fields of 5,000 acres and 1,400 monuments touches the very depths of human emotion: The vast armies, the battle strategies and lost opportunities.
Most poignant of all are those gripping human interest stories. Abner Doubleday, the reputed inventor of baseball, fought there, so did George Nixon, Richard Nixon's great-grandfather. The only civilian to fight at Gettysburg was 69-year old John Burns, the town's former constable, who was enraged that the invading Confederate army had scattered his cows. Grabbing his flintlock he fought with the Union troops until wounded. There is a statue of him at the Gettysburg battlefield. Or the nationwide search that was undertaken when a dead, unidentified Union soldier was found clutching a small photograph of his three young children. Who was this father? The photo was widely publicized and New York's Sgt. Amos Humiston's children were finally identified by his grieving widow. He too has his own monument, the only enlisted man so honored.
Then there are those mute witnesses: Photographs of the dead, stark and silent, taken in the pioneering era of photography by Alexander Gardner and Matthew Brady which flooded the newspapers, brought home for the first time the cruelty and horror of the war. Only one civilian out of the 2,400 townspeople of Gettysburg was killed. Jennie Wade, 20 years old, engaged to be married, was baking biscuits in her older sister's kitchen on Baltimore Street when a bullet crashed through the door and struck her in the back. She died instantly. There's a legend that any young woman who puts her ring finger through that bullet hole will be engaged in a year.
The searing description of the young Union soldier whose arm was torn off by a shell becomes grafted into to the mind: Like a squirrel half run over in the road, the youth sprung up and ran in circles as blood spurted from his stump: "I won't die, I won't die" he cried until he kneeled over and died. So many had died that the stench of death lingered for weeks in the torrential summer heat; residents of Gettysburg were overburdened in burying the dead and caring for the wounded. It is believed that there are as many as 1,200 unmarked and unknown Confederate graves on the battlefield; one was accidentally disinterred as recently as 1996.
The little town that had been a welcome stopover for weary travelers had become a gigantic graveyard. Thoughts of a national cemetery and a ceremony officially dedicating it soon surfaced. The story is well known of how Abraham Lincoln, with just 272 words, defined the struggle and gave meaning to the war's terrible carnage. Literary scholars have long pondered its mysterious power. It's the closest thing we have to an American psalm; a miracle of compression and profundity. It will live as long as the nation endures and as we solemnly observe its 150th anniversary, so will Gettysburg.

A little about me...
I am faithful and work hard. I love to garden and have a rather large water gardenin my yard. I love to draw, do needlework and have fun. I like antiques and collect various items. I love to wander around flea markets and walking in the woods. I am passionate about animals and have a dog and 1 cat. I am retired from the financial industry and currently am retired from driving a paratransit bus, but wouldn't mind a p/t job.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am honest and work hard. I feel that there are too many people taking advantage of anything they can take advantage of and I it ticks me off. I like a good discussion about most anything and read a lot. What I would like is to find someone that wants a good friend that we can do things together, go dancing, the movies, dinner, work in the yard, walk to dog etc. Someone to share life with. Where it goes from there time would tell.
I'd just like to add...
In today's world it seems that everything is in twos. When I lost my husband social contacts dried up because one is an awkward number. I am content by myself but long for someone I can talk with and do things with. There are many a time that I wish there were someone I could call cause I want to grab something to eat, or go see a movie or something. My son's a great guy, but it's not the same.

Mias and Elle - Chapter 15Maybe he isn't too bad after all
Elle's teeth pinched at her bottom lip as Mias' lips trailed hot kisses all across the exposed flesh of her neck and chest, all of which felt incredibly hot. She felt so flustered, and the words were not even able to form inside of her head, let alone out loud. One of her hands was squeezing his shoulder; the other was pressing the open skirt between her legs against the seat of the bench, denying Mias any entry he may have been planning. Of course it was all very lovely there was no denying it- and incredibly distracting, but there was something across the way that her curious mind could not help but notice. Squinting her eyes accordingly, she realised that there was a small wooden door, almost entirely overgrown with the sweet pea and ivy only the outline and rusted metal handle were visible at first glance."Mias
" Oh my god, was that my voice?"Mm?" His reply hummed through his lips and against her throat."Mia
Mias and Elle - Chapter 11With vicious threats and the crash of objects being thrown against a door open ajar, Mias left Elle to herself for three whole days. He was by no means offended by her actions and harsh shouting and name calling as he may have been previously, as he could not contain his amusement and curiosity. He wanted to know what could have possibly transpired between the two women to put Elle in such a strange mood. She blushed scarlet and her brow furrowed whenever he opened her door to bring her food, fair warning she seemed to think before the name calling began. He would laugh, wish her well and leave her to her own devices.Yet on the third day, he had grown tired of the new game that they had been playing at. He wished to look in to her eyes, touch her skin, and hear her voice untainted by screaming. The thought of seeing her smile at him was still a strong image that still nagged and prodded at his brain. He was a man who always got what he wanted, but this seemed to be something that was
9: Elias' RevengeElle stumbled forward onto the beach on hands and knees, just as a wave crashed against her. She fell forward onto her stomach, gasping for air as she tried to catch her breath. Her muscles screamed, her shoulders and arms trembling uncontrollably from the excruciating swim. Her legs cramped, needles of pain crawling over her calves when she tried to stretch her legs. But she had made it, she was alive.She rolled onto her back with a groan, her whole body protesting. Staring up at the starry sky, Elle pushed the damp hair that clung to her cheeks out of her face, bringing herself up onto her elbows. She looked out at the water which shimmered in the moonlight, and in the distance she could make out the silhouette of the Revenge, and she sighed with relief when she realized that it was moving away.Her relief was quickly replaced by guilt when she thought of Thomas. She had left him behind. She shook her head, unable to believe her own selfishness. She should have fought harder,
Mias and Elle - PrologueThe resonating high pitch squeal was deafening as the room spun in a blur of confusion through heavy eyelids. With each lethargic heartbeat came a thundering crash of pain through the entire skull. Small pale fingers clutched desperately at honey locks and a garbled moan struggled pass soft lips and foggy blue eyes clenched closed.What fresh hell was this?As hard she she tried, nothing came to mind of the previous night's ventures. It was all a fog half way through the walk home. She could remember every detail up until passing by the pounding bass and smoke filled air outside of the back doors nightclub on her usual short-cut home from her dead end job. It was dark, but upon thought, darkness was not much of a memory. And the harder she tried, the more scattered the real memories became. It was all very confusing, and since she was not one to indulge in the drink, nothing about the situation felt right.It sounded paranoid, and quite frankly, like a pathetic excuse for whatever it w
Mias and Elle - Chapter 12Lunch was simple, eggs and toast with grapes and a sweet fruity wine; it was more of a breakfast than the one Mias had brought up to her earlier in the day. Elle liked the wine very much, and with a golden pitcher full of it sitting right next to her she had filled her glass at least one more than she ought to."Very good," She said from behind her hand that covered the last mouth full of her second helping."Mm, sometimes simple is sufficient." Mias popped a large green grape into his mouth as he leaned back in his large chair."I like the wine." She took a sip, staring at him over the brim of the chalice with hot cheeks.Mias smiled, "I could tell." He had been watching her the entire time, and by his count, she was nearly finished her fourth glass.This time her cheeks reddened even deeper from embarrassment and not the alcohol. The metal of the cup clinked as she set it down on her golden plate; she noted that he certainly was fond of his gold's and silvers. Her head felt as though

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - New Penn State coach Tom Bradley says he is replacing Joe Paterno with "very mixed emotions."
The defensive coordinator was appointed interim coach by Penn State's board of trustees after it fired Paterno on Wednesday night in the wake of a child sex-abuse scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky. Bradley will coach the Nittany Lions through the end of the season, starting with Saturday's home finale against Nebraska.
Bradley played for Paterno and has been on the Nittany Lions staff for 33 years. He has been considered the leading in-house candidate to replace his Hall of Fame boss.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
A battle over more than $3 million in delinquent jail fees could have the county and other local cities heading to court.
Since Sedgwick County started charging for its jail space in January, eight cities, including Wichita, Haysville and Park City, have racked up unpaid bills. Now the county is confident a judge will force them to pay up.
"Almost every county in the state of Kansas that has over 35,000 people in their county charges their cities so this is not something that is not happening in other parts of the state," said County Commissioner Tom Winters.
With the jail's budget set to triple over the next 20 years, county commissioners decided to start charging for the space to force cities to be more careful about using it thus cutting costs and overcrowding.
But most cities balked at the new billing system. The cities say not only do they not have control over who goes to jail but the county doesn't have the legal right to charge them. And they say it's basically double taxation for their residents. The cities plan to continue their fight against the fees in the legal arena.
"I have to object. I have to say something otherwise it looks as though we just accept this and they know we don't because we don't pay it," said Park City Mayor Dee Stuart.
While a judge could decide on the jail fee fight within a few months, appeals could mean it'll be more than a year before the legal battle is finally settled.
County Commissioners are set to vote on how to proceed on Wednesday.

Risk assessments identify external and internal risks
A risk assessment must identify external and internal risks and threats to your organization. Paul Kirvan discusses this important issue in his Expert Response.

Once a business impact analysis (BIA) has been completed, you will have an excellent view of how your organization operates, what it needs to operate, and how quickly critical systems and data must be recovered for the business unit to resume normal operations. It's also important to identify external and internal risks and threats to the operational issues identified in the BIA.
Conduct a risk assessment to identify situations that may produce disruptive events to your organization. For example, an internal threat may be the potential for an employee to damage a server, corrupt a critical application, or shut down power to critical systems. External threats can range from severe weather to earthquakes, unauthorized entry into your building, or vandalism.
The risk assessment not only identifies the external and internal risks and threats, it can also identify your organization's vulnerabilities. Analyzing each threat for likelihood of occurrence and potential damage rendered will help you pinpoint specific threat conditions you will address in your disaster recovery plans. Combine this risk data with BIA results and you will be able to zero in on those business functions that are at the greatest risk and represent the greatest potential loss to the organization.

The Seven Words Women Long to Hear
"I do love you so terribly much."
--Matthew Crawley (Dan Stephens) to Lady Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery) on last night's season 3 premiere of the BBC Series "Downton Abbey." It's an awful show. Sorry. I watch it because Patricia likes it but it's a soap opera with high production values. But there are rewards. Chiefly:
- Anything the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) says. God, she's good.
- Anywhere Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil) stands. Yowsah.
Last night I liked the battle between O'Brien and Thomas. Hope it continues. I like the chumminess, as men marrying into this crazy family, between Matthew and the bomb-throwing chauffeur dude.
That's it. Get better, show. And somebody give me my mash-up between "Downton" and "Boardwalk Empire."

What's the Sweet Spot for Nostalgia: 20 Years? 40? Or Is It All About the Boomers?
I got some smart reaction to the post the other day about Adam Gopnik's "Mad Men"-inspired 40-Year Golden Rule on nostalgia. I basically argued for 20 years.
From Larry Rosen:
Ridiculous thesis statement by Gopnik. The sweet spot for nostalgia moves at exactly the same pace as baby boomers age.
From Chris Knapp:
I agree with your rejoinder to Gopnik on the nostalgia cycle. Twenty years is the primary lookback because nostalgia is typically about recapturing a feeling of innocence or wonderment — and so for most creators it means looking back to when they were 11-12 (maybe 13) years old. MAD MEN is the exception rather than the rule, because it is not looking back at Matthew Wiener's "age of innocence" but at the apex (and subsequent erosion) of American credulity. In that sense MAD MEN is not really a nostalgia tale but fits more in the genre of tragedy.
Other thoughts?
Joan wants to know what you think.

Adam Gopnik on 'Mad Men' and Nostalgia: Is He Off by 20 years?
I'm a fan but hackles were raised early in Adam Gopnik's New Yorker piece, "The Forty-Year Itch," about nostalgia and "Mad Men." He writes that...
...it seems time to pronounce a rule about American popular culture: the Golden Forty-Year Rule. The prime site of nostalgia is always whatever happened, or is thought to have happened, in the decade between forty and fifty years past.
My immediate thought: Shouldn't that be the 20-year rule? In the 1960s, "Hogan's Heroes" and "Batman," which was a satire of the 1949 serial "Batman & Robin," "Happy Days" and "Grease" in the 1970s, and "That '70s Show" in the 1990s. The 20-year gap seems primed to allow for kids to grow up and attain a position of creative power, from which they render their childhood for everyone else. It allows the culture a period from which to grow up (or down), and miss (or disparage) what once was.
But Gopnik marshalls his 40-year arguments:
- 1940s: "Meet Me in St. Louis," "The Magnificent Ambersons," and "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," all set during the first decade of the 20th century.
- 1950s: "The Seven Little Foys" and "A Night to Remember": weak arguments.
- 1960s: Apparently there was a series called "The Roaring Twenties"? Musically, though, you had "Westminster Cathedral" and the '20s pastiche numbers of a Beatles-era Paul McCartney: "When I'm 64," "Your Mother Should Know," "Honey Pie," etc. But that's Paulie more than the culture, isn't it? Please don't tell me, Adam, that your argument hinges on the oddities of little Paul McCartney.
- 1970s: "The Sting" and "Paper Moon" and... that's it. A better argument is "Star Wars," which, though it took place a long ago, was like a compressed 1930s serial with better special effects. A better argument: "Annie" on Broadway.
- 1980s: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (which Gopnik mistakenly places during World War II rather than 1936), "Hope and Glory," "Empire of the Sun" and "Biloxi Blues." But didn't the greater WWII-era nostalgia come about in the late '90s/early '00s with Brokaw's book, Spielberg's movie, and HBO's "Band of Brothers." So is that the 50-to-60 year cycle?
- 1990s: a '50s-era love for Hush Puppies and Converse All-Stars? Plus skinny ties? I'm not feeling it. It wasn't like the greaser love we had in the blow-dried 1970s.
And that brings us to the '00s and "Mad Men."
Further down, Gopnik admits that the 40-year nostalgia cyle...
...carries epicycles within it: the twenty-year cycle, for instance, by which the forty-somethings recall their teen-age years, producing in the seventies a smaller wave of fifties nostalgia to dance demurely alongside the longing for the thirties.
A smaller wave? From where I sat in the 1970s, which was generally on the floor watching TV as a teenager, the '50s boomed: "Happy Days," "Grease," Sha-Na-Na, and ultimately "Diner," which was early '60s, but was released in the early '80s. Twenty-year cycle again.
The bigger point, which Gopnik doesn't delve into, is whether the 20-year or 40-year set piece is true nostalgia (a wish for a pristine, simpler time) or anti-nostalgia (mocking that earlier, dopier time). The first season of "Happy Days," for example, never felt particularly happy to me. It was only later, with the rise of Fonzie, that the ostensible lead, Richie Cunningham, came out ahead at the end of each episode. Before that, the "Happy Days" title always felt a trifle ironic to me: an antidote for those who doted on the '50s.
"Mad Men" is even stronger in this regard. The show is advertised nostalgically (when men were men and women were curvy and more easily fondled) but presents such a horrific vision of chauvinism that even a semi-chauvinist like myself longs for women's lib to come along and right the damn ship. The show, beloved for its early '60s fashions, which are about to disappear in a haze of pot smoke and long hair and hippie, bearded naturalism, seems as much a comment on our times as its times. Think of that early scene when Sally Draper plays spaceman with the dry cleaner bag over her head and her mother warns that the clothes that were in that bag better be in good shape, young lady. Modern audiences laugh: "She's not concerned her daughter will suffocate!" At the same time, deep down, we know we're overconcerned. Back then, adults were adults and kids seemed unbreakable. Now there's something childish about us even as we treat our kids like fragile objects: carrying them from playdate to playdate.
In the end I think there's nothing golden about Gopnik's 40-year rule. And better to concentrate on what the nostalgic piece says about us. Do we think we're hipper now (which is how we got "Batman"), too complicated (which is why we needed "Happy Days"), without national purpose (thus "Greatest Generation"), or uptight (why we long for "Mad Men")?
There's always something wrong with the present; there's always something good somewhere in the past.
"Mad Men": Buttoned-up but revealiing our modern uptightness.

Izzy Iskowitz, Heavyweight Champ, 1977
YouTube is increasingly killing me. I can lose whole mornings on the site now, mostly with comedic stuff: Louis CK, Ricky Gervais, old Eddie Murphy. I'm not sure how I came across this but it's a bit from "The Tonight Show," July 11, 1977 when Rob Reiner, of all co-hosts, was co-hosting, and late in the program he brought on Harry Shearer and Billy Crystal who did a Tom Snyder/ Muhammad Ali bit. Apparently Ali was changing his name and religion again; he was now going to be Izzy Iskowitz. The whole thing is so well-done and smart. "Portnoy's Complaint" is even referenced:
But my favorite part is when Muhammad/Izzy/Billy talks up great Jewish athletes and mentions Rod Carew. "He's going to hit .400 this year," he says, "but for you .395."
The past isn't even past. It's on YouTube.

Given that fresh-faced law school grads are facing the worst job market in 18 years, you might think pre-law students would be dissuaded from stepping into the breach. Apparently not.

"The obligation to care for the health of the poor, universally recognized by religious organizations, is among this country's fundamental values and is furthered by the Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid."
Medicaid is the only option for many low-income Americans
Created by Congress in 1965, Medicaid is a public insurance program that provides health coverage to low-income families and individuals, including children, parents, pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities. Medicaid is funded jointly by the federal government and the states. Each state operates its own Medicaid program within federal guidelines.
Congress expanded Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in response to the fifty million uninsured Americans, many of whom are too poor to afford health insurance. Medicaid Expansion represents a shift in federal policy regarding eligibility in this program.
Prior to the ACA, Medicaid expansions and the creation of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) decreased the percentage of uninsured American children, but the number of uninsured American adults continued to grow. The law previously required states to cover their poorest or lose federal funding to Medicaid (federal funding covers 90-100% of state costs). On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act but allowed States to opt-out of Medicaid Expansion leaving millions of poor working families without coverage.
As of August 31, 2014, 29 states have implemented Medicaid expansion while 19 states (most located in the south and the mid-west have stated that they will not expand Medicaid at this time. (They include AL, AK, FL, GA, ID, KS, LA, ME, MS, MO, MT, NE, NC, OK, SC, SD, TX, VA, WI.) Regardless of whether they expand Medicaid or not, all states are required to establish streamlined, coordinated, and automated Medicaid eligibility and enrollment systems to facilitate enrollment in Medicaid and promote continuity of coverage.
Four states are expected to soon join the Common-Wealth of Pennsylvania in the expansion – TN, Indiana, Utah and Wyoming. Of the states who opt-ed, most out have the highest uninsured rates and are the states where expansion could help the most. It is projected that in these states health insurance will increase for everyone, including those with private insurance.
There are many costs to being uninsured. Poor working families will go without proper health care creating a less healthy society, chronic medical problems become acute, and medical bills become a disincentive to going to the doctor. In the worst cases, medical debt leads to bankruptcy, major depression and possibly suicide. Medical providers will have to raise rates on insured people to deal with the large numbers of uninsured. States who refuse to expand Medicaid will have to make up the difference from state or local taxes or else see vital health institutions go out of business. There is a big economic ripple effect. Medicaid expansion will help to break this vicious cycle – but only if states decide to expand it. Many who could have obtained financial assistance through Medicaid expansion will remain outside its reach. The problem is that this will likely raise everyone's health insurance, including those with private insurance.
In 2012 the United Church of Christ joined 60 national, state, and regional faith organizations in working together as coalition partners thorough Faithful Reform in Health Care and the Washington Interreligious Staff Community (WISC) Health Care Community is signing an Amicus Brief to inform the Court about the moral imperatives that impel faith communities to support the Medicaid expansions and improves in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The brief was delivered to the President and Members of Congress in 2011.
Why Medicaid Expansion matters to the faith community:
Across this nation citizens are raising their voices and "speaking truth to power" the importance of expanding Medicaid for low-income Americans in their state. The UCC has a history of standing up for justice. Here are some tips to support Medicaid Expansion in those states that have decided NOT to accept Medicaid Expansion funding:

Breakingviews: India in depth: Economy unmoved by shock therapy
(The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own)
By Andy Mukherjee
SINGAPORE (Reuters Breakingviews) - The slowing Indian economy is not responding to shock therapy. The stock market rally that began in September after the government unveiled its high-decibel reforms programme is fizzling out.
The BSE Sensex failed this month to surpass its October peak - a bearish sign for chart watchers. The rupee has weakened 7 percent since October 4.
In some ways, the Indian selloff mirrors the fate of risky securities globally. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is now lower than when the Federal Reserve launched its third round of quantitative easing on September 13.
Fears of untimely fiscal cutbacks in the United States and a deepening of the sclerosis in the euro zone are weighing on sentiment. But skittish investors are only one part of the story. A much bigger challenge for India is the deteriorating financial cycle. A Breakingviews analysis of 16 years of monthly bank loan data shows that - after stripping out trend growth and seasonal fluctuations - the cyclical downturn in credit that began in early 2008 is yet to level off, let alone begin a recovery.
That's hardly unusual. Financial downturns tend to last several years, while a typical business cycle recession tends to be over in about 12 months, according to a study by Bank for International Settlements researchers Mathias Drehmann, Claudio Borio and Kostas Tsatsaronis.
In a bank-dominated financial system like India's, the lending and borrowing cycle is of particular relevance to investors. The benchmark Nifty equity index more than quadrupled during the credit boom that began in late 2003 and lasted through early 2008. It is currently trading 11 percent below its January 2008 high.
By pruning fuel subsidies, and announcing its decision to open up retail, aviation and insurance industries to greater foreign participation, the government has stoked expectations of an investment-led revival in an economy that grew as little as 5.5 percent in the June quarter, its worst fiscal first-quarter performance in a decade.
But recent economic data from New Delhi belie expectations of a quick recovery. Capital goods production, which has been lacklustre for almost a year now, collapsed in September even as the country's trade deficit widened to a staggering 14 percent of GDP on an annualized basis last month. With consumer prices rising about 10 percent year-on-year in October, investors are not expecting more than a couple of quarter-percentage-point interest rate cuts in the first half of next year.
A token reduction in the central bank's policy rate of 8 percent will have some impact on borrowing decisions; but it will be small and come with a considerable lag. Meanwhile, more existing bank loans will go bad. By March next year, 10 percent or more of Indian lenders' loan books will consist of either non-performing or restructured debt, according to Fitch Ratings. It isn't easy to revive investments when lenders, especially state-run banks, are struggling to cope with past mistakes.
Borrowers, too, are in dire straits. The most intrepid investors between 2004 and 2007 were home-grown entrepreneurs and business families. They behaved very differently from government-owned companies and multinationals by gallantly expanding into industries about which they knew little. These "growth champions" are today among the most indebted Indian businesses, according to research by brokerage firm Jefferies.
One obvious solution is for the government to inject fresh capital into state-run banks. The $3 billion that the government has set aside for this purpose in this year's federal budget is inadequate. Just one debtor - Kingfisher Airlines - owes lenders more than $1 billion. If the grounded carrier doesn't fly again, very little of this amount may be recovered.
As the controlling shareholder, the government should do much more to bolster the balance sheets of state banks. But it is also cash-strapped. A recent auction of telecom spectrum fetched the exchequer less than a fourth of the $7 billion revenue target. The annual budget deficit is at risk of wildly overshooting finance minister P Chidambaram's revised goal of 5.3 percent of GDP.
Chidambaram is trying a different strategy to end the credit downturn. He has asked the central bank to start giving out new banking licences quickly. Tactically, it is a smart ploy. New private lenders will bring in fresh equity and give the jaded banking system an additional loss-absorbing cushion.
But the Reserve Bank of India, which hasn't issued any new banking licences in 10 years, is holding up the finance ministry's plan, and for good reasons. Before it allows new deposit-taking institutions to be set up, including by non-financial corporate groups, the RBI, which is also the country's banking supervisor, wants the legal authority to sack rogue bank boards. Amendments to the country's banking laws that would have accorded the monetary authority such wide-ranging powers were introduced in parliament seven years ago. They were never passed. The central bank is quite right to be circumspect, even at the cost of annoying the finance minister.
Pending an infusion of new capital into the banking system, the government is seeking to counter the cyclical downturn by cajoling cash-rich state-owned firms to speed up investments. A better strategy would be for the government to curtail its own consumption expenditure and reduce its borrowings. More household savings would then be freed up for corporate investments, and not just by state-controlled companies. But fiscal consolidation in a slowing economy has to be gradual, lest it makes the short-term growth challenge worse.
It's already been about five years since the end of the last big credit boom in India. On present evidence, seven lean years is not a far-fetched proposition.

The Visible Vote: Don't miss the presidential forum tonight!
Tonight, Logo and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation present The Visible Vote '08, a live forum in which the leading 2008 Democratic presidential candidates will address a range of issues of importance to the LGBT community. And if you don't think that's a big deal, just trust those of us who grew up in the Reagan years: It's a very big deal. As panelist Melissa Etheridge notes, "The fact that these candidates have even agreed to show up to a televised forum on LGBT issues means that we have come a long way."
The event will be brodcast on Logo and VisibleVote08.com at 9:00 p.m. ET tonight. The full program will also be available on Joost on August 20, and on iTunes on August 21.
Meanwhile, over on the Visible Vote '08 website, a host of LGBT folk have been blogging about various election issues. Here are some excerpts of their views and insights.
Julie Goldman (The Big Gay Sketch Show):
I will vote for the candidate who supports gay marriage, as that candidate believes in human rights. That candidate believes civil rights are the foundation of human equality. That is what we are really talking about here. True equality.
I don't need you to tolerate me or accept me, but my money is just as green as yours, and my love is as valid as anyone else's — and no one has a right to judge or legislate that. I am tired of begging for what is already mine to own, the right to live as I see fit for myself. READ JULIE'S FULL POST
Linda Villarosa:
Instead of planning our weddings, let's plan a better world. We've fought the good fight, but it's time to move on and use our vast talents to fight the better fights, the ones that benefit everyone — straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and any and everyone in between. These include ending the war; battling HIV/AIDS with care, prevention and treatment; providing affordable health and child care for everyone; eradicating poverty; reducing the wildly escalating gap between the rich and poor; ending violence and abuse of all kinds, reducing the numbers of guns on the streets; lowering the prison population, healing drug and other addictions; cleaning up the environment; and erasing prejudice of every kind and discrimination against anybody.
But in the meantime, what about the original question — should lesbians and gays have the right to marry? With the complexities of politics and PR in mind, let's keep it simple. To the Democratic Presidential candidates who are generously taking part in this groundbreaking Logo/HRC debate, there's only one answer: "Yes!" READ LINDA'S FULL POST
Nancylee Myatt (South of Nowhere):
[T]he top of the list for domestic issues has got to be our broken health care system. Nothing would more radically alter the disparity between rich and poor in this country than single-payer national health insurance.
How is it that we are the only major industrialized country in the world that believes health care is a privilege and not a right? Why do so many of our fellow citizens lose everything to catastrophic illness? How come people have to stay in jobs they don't like or don't offer them chance of advancement because of lack of health care portability? Why do insurance companies get to dump people from their rolls after years of premiums? READ NANCYLEE'S FULL POST
Emily Saliers (Indigo Girls):
It is critical that we elect a president with a very clear and strong plan for protecting the environment. We are all aware of climate change and its catastrophic consequences. We need a president who will support legislation that reduces greenhouse emissions; a president who emphasizes energy efficiency and conservation; and a president who recognizes that nuclear power is not "clean" energy. We need a president who knows that the only way to protect and heal the earth is to shift our current US energy paradigm away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources. If we don't take care of the earth, all other issues become non-issues because we won't survive as a species. READ EMILY'S FULL POST
Kate Clinton:
Many right wing pols actually or cynically believe that God is speaking directly through them. God speaks through me too, but it's in Aramaic and they fired all the gay translators. Those leaders have pontificated that homosexuality is immoral. They therefore believe they have the divine right to demean and deny our God-given LGBT identity, our marriages, our families, our military and civic service, our health, and our security in our own homeland. When they do that unto us, the best-dressed of their brethren, they diminish their own identities, unions, public service and security. LGBT Americans have to step up and call out their hypocrisies. READ KATE'S FULL POST
Visit VisibleVote08.com for more, including commentary by Martina Navratilova later today. And tune in for the historic forum tonight!

Get yourself ready for our final pre-season fixture as Valencia visit Old Trafford for REUNITED '14…
The Opposition Following five consecutive victories during the summer tour of America, United will be aiming to make it a clean sweep of wins by defeating the Spaniards in Louis van Gaal's first home match as manager.
Previous Meetings The Reds have edged previous meetings between the two sides, with two wins, five draws and one defeat from eight competitive encounters. In 2009, United won 2-0 in a friendly at Old Trafford against a Valencia side containing Juan Mata, while the most recent clash was a 1-1 draw in the Champions League in December 2010.
Manager Nuno Santo replaced Juan Antonio Pizzi at the beginning of July, having led Portuguese minnows Rio Ave to a historic first-ever European qualification last term. He masterminded runs to the finals of both major domestic cup finals, earning a spot in the Europa League in the process.
Star Man Valencia's line-up is perhaps not quite as familiar as in recent years, with big names such as Mata, Jordi Alba and Roberto Soldado departing in the past few seasons. However, young home-grown striker Paco Alcacer showed great promise last season, scoring the winner in a 3-2 triumph at Barcelona and netting a hat-trick to help defeat Basel 5-0 and overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit in the Europa League.
Last Season A disappointing eighth-place finish resulted in no European football for the first time since 1997/98 and cost Pizzi his job. Santo has already begun to rebuild with five new signings and will hope for better things in the coming months.
How can I follow the match? The game will be live on MUTV HD, with coverage starting at 18:30 BST. It will also be streamed online through United Live; text commentary via @ManUtd; live updates, report and reaction on ManUtd.com.

With costs slipping to date so quickly within the residential housing market, because they may in the purchase of the house homeowners nowadays are seeking to eke out just as much revenue.

Enter: available by operator (FSBO)
By promoting your house and eliminating the center guy oneself, more inside your wallet can leave with thousands of bucks. It simply requires a small advertising know how along with a large amount of spirit.
"A large amount of people that are promoting at this time are doing this since they're changing careers or changing routines and they're promoting by operator simply because they understand it's likely to instantly conserve them 5-6 percentage on fee expenses," claims Eric Mangan, a spokesperson for ForSaleByOwner.com, a market-by-seller listing service. "In today's marketplace, where costs have fallen by double-digits in some instances, of utilizing an agent the price is the fact that a lot more expensive."
Certainly, with no realtor you can decrease your selling price to equivalent entries inside your neighborhood by as much as 6 percentage and aid market your home quicker.
Even better, abandon your cost on level and wallet the fee that will usually visit the agent. (On The $350,000 home, a-6-percentage fee is $21,000.)
Regardless of the monetary motivation and developing use of online record providers, the FSBO (obvious "fizzbo") marketplace continues to be trending down from the a lot of 19 percentage of the marketplace in 1997 to approximately 13 percent nowadays, based on the National Association of Agents (NAR).
Some 81 percent of house sellers nevertheless utilize full service agents, 9 percent depend on restricted providers, including discount brokers and also the leftover vendors, and approximately 9 percentage use minimum support (including FSBOs and people who spend just for the usage of an MLS).
The homeowner was already known by It's worth remembering, also, that some 40 percent of revenue for the reason that market are finished like a sealed deal, indicating the customer like a family or friend member.
Based on NAR's Walter Molony, nearly all homeowners however depend on brokers they need a skilled skilled available to safeguard their passions plus since their house is usually their biggest resource.
Certainly, some homeowners however need their house to be sold by the aid of agents. Included in this: people who can't be actually on-site to exhibit people uncomfortable and their home promoting or marketing their homes.
As the property downturn has some homeowners of promoting solo cautious, nevertheless, the market are maintained by Mangan -by- than many homeowners imagine—and makes feeling nowadays than throughout the growth operator technique is clearly simpler.

Most importantly, which means detailing your home to get a reasonable value.
It's simple enough to discover what your house may be worth. Websites like zillow.com, realtor.com, www.cbroadrunner.com and homegain.com might help you evaluate property results that are equivalent obtainable in town.

Are Aluminum Deodorant Products Safe?

Aluminum Deodorant Products
Most deodorant products have harmful chemicals that can cause an unsafe amount of aluminum to irritate the skin. It is much more beneficial to use naturally made deodorants that are aluminum free such as http://bodymint.com/about/healthy-aluminum-free-deodorant/ because of the home made ingredients.
Why Home made?
I like to address this up front to displace the normal supposition that homemade merchandises are produced only for the savings... savings is only one fine gain.
The truth is, the advantages of creating your personal material go far beyond preserving a couple dollars. DIY jobs additionally foster self reliance, family togetherness, creative exploration, as well as a feeling of achievement.
It's Sustainable
You ought to know that I need home made products to be simple to make if you're a follower of our home made enterprises.
For all of us, hard recipes needing lots of unusual fixings is not sustainable. So we seek to constantly embrace alternatives which are easy to make and include common fixings (whenever possible), yet operate incredibly nicely. That product philosophy will be embodied by today 's recipe more so than any other.
The Recipe
To make your personal natural home made deodorant, follow these easy measures:
Get a bottle of grain ethyl alcohol, a.k.a. high proof spirits like Everclear, (we used to urge isopropyl [rubbing] booze but do no longer because it could be hazardous when used for lengthy periods of time)
Obtain a little refillable spray bottle (we make use of the 3ounces variety usually present in the private merchandise traveling section) - roughly $1.00/bottle (buy glass spray bottles here)
pour the booze in the spray bottle
spray on clean armpits for protection against body odor from bacteria
if you'd like, add 10 drops of tea tree essential oil per 1 oz. of booze (4 oz. booze = 40 drops tea tree).
Does it work? Yes - it works. Yes - it's that straightforward. Yes - it's that cheap. Consider it... I have been doing just this for about 3 months now and will never go back to pricey, chemical load, store bought deodorants.
Does it stick/harm? This will depend. It never sticks for me because I do not shave my pits. My spouse said that using the spray promptly after shaving does stick, but will only survive for a second or two and is definitely doable.
Does it smell? It smells like booze, but could be supplemented with a couple drops of your preferred essential oil. (Locate 100% pure essential oils here.) Strive an antibacterial essential oil to fight the smell like peppermint, tea tree, lavender, or lemon. For excessive perspiration, strive lemongrass or litsea cubeba.
Will I stink? No... Recall question number 1 - it works. The booze kills the bacteria that cause the smell.
Will I still sweat? Yes, and you also should. Perspiration is good for you personally; it is the body's way of discharging toxins. In case you obstructing your perspiration pores by using antiperspirant you impede your body's ability to naturally discharge those toxins. Impeding this procedure can also effect the pH balance in your body making your body more prone to disease by dangerous bacteria and viruses. Using the alcohol permits your body to discharge the toxins unimpeded, yet still removes odors by killing the bacteria outside the body.
How long does it continue? Depending on how much you apply yourself, it may continue all day, or you may need to reapply. In my experience I have NEVER had to use it more than twice in one day - once in the morning... and once in the evening.

As soon as he saw that it was Metta World Peace, he immediately wanted no piece of arguably the most dangerous and unstable player in the NBA.
