What should international tax scholars be doing? Over the past two decades, international tax has grown both as a practice area and as a field of study. Scholars have begun devoting significant attention to the development, design, and implementation of international tax law. This activity is accompanied by a reflection on the scholarship and its goals, method and content. A review of modern international tax scholarship reveals that as the field has matured, international tax scholars have increasingly turned to other disciplines, especially social sciences, to draw upon their insights, ideas, and research to improve understanding of international tax policy. But this intersection with the social sciences (and the humanities) forces us to confront some distinct differences between the approach of the legal academy to research and scholarship and the approaches reflected in other fields. As the tax academy increasingly reaches into other disciplines, we question what constitutes the core of our own discipline and what we can uniquely contribute. Ultimately, international tax scholars have a strong claim to a vital role. The importance of non-legal disciplines to the development of international tax policy, combined with the perceived inaccessibility of international tax to those working outside the field, renders international tax distinctive if not unique. The burden rests upon the tax community to establish a robust, broad and comprehensive research structure capable of integrating guidance from other disciplines. International tax scholars need to look beyond the traditional bounds of their field – but they cannot abdicate the territory to other disciplines. The real challenge is how to manage both strands effectively.

I will have all three Saturday bowl selections coming up either later today or sometime tomorrow morning. Check back later and also post on the tracker as those who sport competitive records could be subject to some pot holiday freeplays!
New Mexico Bowl: Despite posting the second of what is now a school-record three straight seasons of at least eight victories, Temple was the nation's only winning team not to receive a bowl bid in 2010 after concluding that year in disappointing fashion. The Owls ensured that it wouldn't happen again this time. Looking to extend its longest win streak of the season, Temple faces Wyoming in the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday. The Owls, who finished second in the East Division of the Mid-American Conference, are led by elusive tailback Bernard Pierce. The junior finished third in the FBS with a single-season school record 25 TDs and 13th with 1,381 rushing yards. Six days after running for 157 yards and three touchdowns during a 42-14 win over Army, Pierce had a season-best 189 rushing yards and another three scores in a 34-16 win over Kent State on Nov. 25. Pierce, who could be playing in his final game before going pro, seems likely to find plenty of running room against a Cowboys defense that's surrendering 230.1 rushing yards per game - sixth worst in the nation. While Temple's ground game has been rolling, questions surround its quarterback situation. Sophomore Chris Coyer, who started the last four games, suffered a sprained shoulder in the regular-season finale and is uncertain for the bowl game. Coyer was replaced by fifth-year senior Chester Stewart, who completed all six of his passes for 94 yards. Not only will Wyoming have to contain Temple's running game, it will have to contend with the Owls' stifling defense. Temple ranks third in the nation with 13.8 points allowed per game. Wyoming (8-4) finished third in the conference behind TCU and Boise State, beating Colorado State 22-19 on Dec. 3 to close out the regular season. The Cowboys rank fourth in the country in turnover margin at 1.25 and allowed 11 sacks - tied for 11th. Wyoming is headed back to the New Mexico Bowl for the second time in three seasons thanks in large part to Mountain West freshman of the year Brett Smith. He finished third in the conference with a 126.2 rating, throwing for 2,495 yards along with 18 TDs and eight interceptions. The Cowboys defeated Fresno State 35-28 in a double-overtime thriller Dec. 19, 2009 in Albuquerque. When Temple decides to throw, tight end Evan Rodriguez is the No. 1 target. The senior leads the team with 33 receptions and 427 receiving yards. Rod Streater adds big-play ability to the receiving corps, averaging 18.9 yards per reception this season. Temple's offensive line has a significant size advantage in the trenches, as the Owls average 318.8 pounds per offensive lineman, while Wyoming checks in at 270.3 per defensive lineman. Even though Wyoming may give up some yards, it has done a good job of winning the turnover battle this year. The Cowboys have forced 31 turnovers and will need to create a few to win on Saturday afternoon. Considering the Temple defense has been a strength all year, this won't be an easy matchup for Wyoming. The Owls will focus on stopping Smith especially on the ground while getting pressure on him when he throws. Also, Temple's offense and ball-control attack will help keep the ball away from the Cowboys. The pick: Temple -6.5 (bought half)
Idaho Potato Bowl: Utah State (7-5) heads to Boise for its first postseason appearance since losing 35-19 to Cincinnati at the 1997 Humanitarian Bowl - also played at Bronco Stadium. The Aggies fell to 1-5 all-time in bowl games, with the only win coming over Ball State in the 1993 Las Vegas Bowl. Ohio (9-4) is appearing in a bowl for a third straight year for the first time in school history but has yet to win one. The Bobcats' 0-5 mark in postseason play includes three defeats under Frank Solich, who took over as coach in 2005. Solich's team lost to Southern Mississippi 28-7 in the 2007 GMAC Bowl in the school's first bowl appearance in 38 years, then fell 21-17 to Marshall in the 2009 Little Caesars Bowl and 48-21 to Troy in last year's New Orleans Bowl. The Bobcats posted five straight victories to win the MAC's East Division before falling 23-20 to Northern Illinois in the conference championship game Dec. 2. Ohio squandered a 20-0 halftime lead and lost on a field goal as time expired, ending the Bobcats' hopes of winning their first MAC title since 1968. Utah State, which finished second in the WAC and is riding a five-game winning streak, relies on its speed and a rushing attack which averages 277.5 yards to rank sixth in the FBS. Robert Turbin is 10th in the nation with 118.0 rushing yards per game, including seven 100-yard efforts, and was named the WAC offensive player of the year. Turbin, though, was held to 159 yards on 43 carries over the last two games and didn't score a touchdown in either one after totaling 19 through the first 10 contests. He'll face an Ohio run defense which ranked third in the MAC, allowing 126.4 yards per game, and kept two of its last four opponents under 70. The Bobcats' offense, however, was held below 400 yards for the first time in eight games in the loss to Northern Illinois and had only 130 on the ground. Sophomore Tyler Tettleton threw a career-high three interceptions and failed to throw a TD pass for the first time all season. Still, he finished with 3,082 yards and 26 touchdowns through the air, and he's also a threat on the ground after rushing for 627 yards and nine scores. Utah State features the WAC's top-ranked defense, having allowed 368.0 yards per game. The Aggies, though, have given up an average of 429.6 during their winning streak, including 500 yards in a 21-17 win over Nevada on Nov. 26. Tettleton isn't the only player doing damage on the ground for the Bobcats, as running back Donte Harden is 61 yards away from getting to 1,000. The senior has only two rushing scores, but is averaging 5.5 yards per carry and has caught 23 passes this year. Senior LaVon Brazill is Tettleton's go-to target in the passing game. Brazill caught 66 passes for 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. Riley Dunlop, Donte Foster, Jordan Thompson and Phil Bates will all factor into the receiving corps, giving the Bobcats a deep group of targets for their passing attack. Stopping Tettleton is likely to be Utah State's No. 1 priority on defense. However, it would be a surprise if the Aggies are able to completely shut down Ohio's offense. Utah State's defense held its last two opponents to 21 or fewer points, but gave up at least 31 in the three prior contests. If you are hungry for college football action this Saturday, this should be the game to watch. Both teams aren't lacking for talent on defense, but all signs point to a high-scoring affair. The Aggies seem to have turned a corner under coach Gary Andersen and a victory over Ohio would be their eighth of the season equaling their best win total since 1979. Expect a back and forth game, but Ohio's run defense and Tettelton's success through the air should make the difference in this one. The pick: Ohio +2
New Orleans Bowl: San Diego State's Ronnie Hillman may not receive as much recognition as the nation's other premier running backs, but he'll receive plenty of attention from Louisiana-Lafayette's defense. Hillman and the Aztecs take on the Ragin' Cajuns, who are making their first postseason appearance in 41 years, on Saturday night in the New Orleans Bowl at the Superdome. Hillman finished third this season in the FBS with 138.0 rushing yards per game, amassing 370 yards in San Diego State's final two contests. The sophomore had four touchdowns in a 35-28 win over Fresno State on Dec. 3 despite playing with a high ankle sprain. Hillman, who has 19 rushing touchdowns this season, has run for 3,188 yards with the Aztecs (8-4). The sophomore's 1,656 yards this season surpassed Marshall Faulk for second place in school history in a single season, and Hillman is 187 yards shy of George Jones' school record set in 1995. His impact on San Diego State is clear. The Aztecs are 12-2 when Hillman rushes for at least 110 yards. He ran for 228 and totaled four touchdowns in San Diego State's 35-14 win over Navy in last year's Poinsettia Bowl. He isn't the only threat San Diego State has, though. While not the most accurate passer, Lindley is not afraid to throw the ball. He has 398 passing attempts - 33rd in the FBS - including 120 in the last three games. The senior quarterback is a 55.4-percent career passer and completed a career-low 52.5 percent this season. However, he did throw for 2,740 yards and 20 touchdowns with just eight interceptions. Lindley has set school records in career yards (12,277), passing touchdowns (87) and completions (933). Lindley was also instrumental in San Diego State's first bowl victory since 1969 last season, completing 18 of 23 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns versus the Midshipmen. Hillman and Lindley have helped lead the Aztecs to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in the program's FBS history. In 1966 and '67, they competed in the Camellia Bowl as part of the College Division. While San Diego State may not have much fan support, playing just a few hours outside of the Ragin' Cajuns' campus, that may be the only advantage Louisiana-Lafayette (8-4) has. While Louisiana-Lafayette may be an underdog, the team has good reason to consider this season a success. After going 3-9 in 2010, the Ragin' Cajuns made an impressive turnaround in Hudspeth's first season, starting 8-2 before season-ending back-to-back losses. Hudspeth was linked to the coaching vacancy at Mississippi, but said earlier this month he would remain with Louisiana-Lafayette after guiding the program to its first bowl appearance since losing to Tennessee State in the Grantland Rice Bowl in 1970. The Ragin' Cajuns may not be as deep as the Aztecs, but they have a credible threat in quarterback Blaine Gautier, who has thrown for 2,488 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. He completed a career-best 63.2 percent of his passes this season.Gautier's favorite target is junior receiver Javone Lawson, who had 899 yards receiving and six touchdowns. Senior tight end Ladarius Green had 485 yards and seven touchdowns. If San Diego St can set the tone early with Hillm and it's dominant running game, it will set up short situations for Lindley against a seemingly and overmatched front seven for the Cajuns. While both teams are capable of striking quick, if La Lafayette can't duplicate it's success offensively in their first 10 games, the Aztecs should take this one by at least double digits winning the turnover battle as well as time of possession. The Pick: San Diego St -4
2-1 to start out of the gate. Shame SDSU didn't show up because it really ruined a potential sweep for us. 2-1 also on the totals from the tracker. Back up early tomorrow with a Beef O'Brady's bowl pick!
Beef O'Brady's Bowl Florida International is trying to cap its best season with just its second bowl victory. Only a dramatic touchdown in the regular-season finale allowed Marshall to even qualify. The Golden Panthers look to continue increasing their visibility as a program on the rise when they face the Thundering Herd for the first time in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. on Tuesday night. FIU (8-4) already has its highest single-season win total since the start of its football program in 2002, getting one more than last year when the team beat Toledo 34-32 in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. The Golden Panthers were considered a doormat when coach Mario Cristobal arrived in 2007, going 1-11 after losing all 12 games a year earlier. However, back-to-back winning seasons have them gaining confidence with the program headed in the right direction. FIU enters the Beef O'Brady's Bowl averaging 33.3 points during a three-game win streak, nearly 10.0 more points than its first nine games of the season. A balanced offensive scheme has been key to the Golden Panthers' success. Wesley Carroll has thrown 14 touchdowns with just four interceptions, and has five with no picks over the last two games. He'll attempt to cap his collegiate career with another bowl victory after coming up with a clutch performance last year. He completed 16 of 27 passes for 140 yards before leading the Golden Panthers down the field to set up Jack Griffin's game-winning 34-yard field goal as time expired. Carroll also converted a 4th-and-17 during the final drive, hitting Jacob Younger, who flipped the ball to T.Y. Hilton for the first down. Hilton is FIU's top receiver, and holds the school career records for catches (221), receiving yards (3,443), touchdowns (24) and overall scores (36). The senior hauled in 64 passes for 950 yards with seven TDs this season, ranking among Sun Belt Conference leaders in each category. On the ground, the Golden Panthers rely on Kedrick Rhodes, who became their first 1,000-yard rusher since they moved to the FBS in 2005. The sophomore had 1,121 rushing yards with eight touchdowns. While FIU put together a strong season from the start, Marshall (6-6) is trying to cap an impressive turnaround. The Thundering Herd won four of their final six to become bowl eligible for the first time under second-year coach Doc Holliday. In fact, they didn't gain that status until Tron Martinez's 1-yard run in overtime clinched a 34-27 win over East Carolina in the regular-season finale Nov. 26. Marshall finished second in Conference USA's East Division, one game back of No. 22 Southern Mississippi. Holliday feels the team is improving, but he's not happy with falling short of the conference title game. The Thundering Herd forced 28 turnovers, ranking second to Memphis' 30 in the conference. The unit is led by defensive end Vinny Curry, the 2011 C-USA Defensive Player of the Year. Curry leads the team with 11 sacks, six forced fumbles, 21 tackles for loss and three blocked kicks. He's joined on the All-Conference USA first team by safety Omar Brown, who had four interceptions with one returned 48 yards for a TD in a 59-14 rout of UAB on Oct. 29. Quarterback Rakeem Cato is trying to conclude his freshman season with another stellar performance after he was 23 of 29 for 341 yards and two touchdowns against East Carolina. Hilton is the best player in FIU history and one of the best the Sun Belt has ever seen. He could be picked in the top three rounds of the NFL draft. Hilton was magnificent in the season's first two weeks. He caught seven of nine passes for 132 yards and a touchdown versus North Texas, then followed that up by catching seven of nine for 201 yards and two touchdowns in their nationally-televised win over Louisville. He actually garnered a little bit of very dark dark horse Heisman buzz for his combination of smoothness and speed. But he tweaked a hamstring the next week against Central Florida, and it was downhill from there. After managing a 78 percent catch rate, 18.5 yards per target and three touchdowns in two games, Hilton averaged just a 56 percent catch rate, 6.9 yards per target and four touchdowns the rest of the way. As the season progressed, FIU was forced to become more reliant on the semi-efficient running of Rhodes than on Hilton's breathtaking explosiveness. While Marshall's defense may be able to make enough plays to stay close, it is still uncertain whether they can actually score enough to keep up. Marshall has shown potential at times, but they have just been too damn young to succeed consistently. If Hilton is dialed in for one last game in an FIU uniform, then there will be quite a bit of star power on the field when the Golden Panthers are on offense. Marshall is difficult to figure out, but even with FIU's occasional defensive vulnerability, the Golden Panthers appear to be too athletic and experienced, especially on defense. Throw in a hefty special teams advantage, and you've got what probably won't be the most memorable bowl of the bunch. Still, tune in for one last look at T.Y. Hilton and maybe a sack or two from Vinny Curry. The pick: Florida International -4
Good luck Greek. Lets make it happen!!

Boxing in China has been legalized since 1986, but the first generation of amateur boxers from the Land of the Rising Sun are just now finally making a splash on the pro scene. After Zou Shiming captured a Bronze Medal in the 2004 and a Gold in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, he was undoubtably recognized as the best rising star in the developing Chinese boxing scene. Furthermore, Xiong Zhao Zhong managed to capture the nations first professional world title in an inspiring victory months ago.
Zou is a product of a respectable culture of young warriors. He is poised with dedication and spirit that is expected to fledge his career forward on an international level. The former three-time Olympic medalist and amateur champion signing with a widely developed American promoter, Top Rank Boxing, just might allow him to take that next leap on his rise to glory. He will be fighting his long-awaited professional debut in the featured attraction of a stacked card in Macao this April 6th. Just days ago, Shiming touched down in the United States to train at the legendary Wild Card gym with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach. Media coverage was rapid for the new Top Rank signee. At a peaking age of 31, however, his career needs to keep at a tight pace to avoid slipping past his peak, and Top Rank Boxing promises to do just such.
Local fans are also thrilled about their first world champion, Xiong Zhao Zhong (20-4-1 11 KO's). While he tends to fight a bit uncoordinated and off balance with some of his wild, looping shots, the young Minimumweight fighter has a warrior's heart and sharp hand speed, which in November 2012 earned him the vacated WBC strap against formidable contender Javier Martinez Resendiz. If his dedication continues to surpass his flaws, he can be a respectable fighter to look out for passing through his physical peak at age 30, but much like Zou, he needs to keep this on the move.
With Japan, Thailand, and the Phillipines producing some of boxing's best fighters in the lighter weight divisions, having a massive country like China joining the show will be remarkable. The era of Zou, or perhaps the tough Zhong, is here. Either way, with Chinese amateurs blossoming through the Olympics, this fighting country is coming into the Sweet Science in a massive way.

Which Dictators Are Too Awful?
We blogged the other day about how two McCain staffers, including one who was supposed to run the Republican convention in Minneapolis, were booted from the campaign because they had lobbied for the repressive military junta in Burma.
Turns out, the staffer who was supposed to run the convention, Doug Goodyear, was actually McCain's second choice. His first choice was Paul Manafort (naturally, a lobbyist), who had to be removed from consideration because he too had lobbied for authoritarian figures, specifically Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and former Ukrainian prime minister Viktor Yanukovich.
Okay, it's a bit odd that McCain can only seem to find shills for dictators to run his campaign. But what's even more odd is that Charlie Black, one of McCain's most senior and most loyal aides, also worked for Ferdinand Marcos, as we reported yesterday. In fact, he's worked for Marcos, Zaire dictator Mobuto Sese Seko, Somalia's Mohamed Siad Barre, and Nigeria's Ibrahim Babangida.
Either there is something particularly objectionable about Viktor Yanukovich, or John McCain is willing to selectively punish moral outrage. If you lobby for dictators and are easily replaceable, you're out the door. If you lobby for dictators but you are McCain's right hand man, you get to stay.

Welcome to Thomas Nelson Community College's Stormwater Management Program information page provided by the Plant Services Department. Here you will find information about the College's stormwater management program, stormwater management regulations, and general information on stormwater related issues. You will also find suggestions and actions you can take to help prevent stormwater pollution.
The goal of the College's stormwater management program is to ensure that stormwater generated on College's two campuses does not adversely affect the surface or groundwaters on campus, in the community and in the state of Virginia.
Stormwater Overview:
Stormwater management is now an integral part of our interaction with our environment. As students, faculty and staff, our most common daily activities can have an unhealthy impact on Virginia's waterways. Every time that it rains, everything we leave on the streets, parking lots and lawns washes through our ditches and storm drains into our streams, rivers, lakes and other waterways. What the rain washes away (known as stormwater runoff) can pick up chemicals, dirt, debris and other pollutants that flow in the College's storm sewer system.
Polluted stormwater runoff effects the environment we live in through the following pathways:
- Sediment – sediment clouds the water and makes it difficult or impossible for aquatic plants to grow.
- Bacteria (and other pathogens) – bacteria and other harmful microorganisms can wash into swimming areas and create health hazards, often resulting in beach closures.
- Debris – debris such as plastic bags, bottles and cigarette butts that are washed into bodies of water can choke, suffocate or disable aquatic life.
- Hazardous Waste – hazardous waste such as insecticides, pesticides, motor oil and anti-freeze can poison aquatic life. Land animals and people can become sick from eating diseased fish and shellfish or ingesting polluted water.
For developed areas, like TNCC's campuses, natural conditions are changed by creating large areas of impermeable surfaces, such as roads, buildings, and parking lots. The water that normally would infiltrate into the ground from the impervious areas runs off and enters storm sewers, streams or other surface waterbodies. If we are not mindful of what we leave behind on pervious (i.e. lawns, meadows and woodlands) and impervious surfaces, pollutants such as automobile oil, grease, sediment from construction sites, bacteria from animal waste, excess lawn care fertilizers and pesticides will be discharged into our storm sewer system and the waterbodies we use for drinking water, swimming and fishing.
Stormwater Regulations:
Stormwater draining from our Hampton campus is collected by an individual storm sewer system that functions independently of each campus' respective city system. These systems are regulated as small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Pursuant to the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) and Stormwater Management Act; the College is registered to obtain coverage under the General Permit for Stormwater Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Stormwater Systems. The general MS4 permit authorized TNCC's storm sewer system to discharge into surface waters within Virginia state boundaries.

Faculty and Staff:
As faculty and staff at TNCC, we have the responsibility to be good stewards of the campuses natural resources. By being mindful of how potential pollutants are handled and stored, we can successfully prevent stormwater pollution and improve the quality of water in our streams, lakes and rivers.
Below are some suggestions that you can implement as faculty and staff at TNCC. We hope that you will help us keep our waterways clean.
- When using chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, use them sparingly and follow the label directions carefully. Never apply fertilizers or pesticides when a heavy rain is forecast.
- Monitor the storm sewer system for illicit discharge. For more information of illict discharges visit http://www.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/fact2-5.pdf
- Recycle or properly dispose of used motor oil and other hazardous wastes. One quart of motor oil can contaminate up to 2 million gallons of water!
- Keep leaves, grass clipping, soaps, litter and harmful chemicals away from streets, ditches, storm drains and waterways. The added nutrients and toxins present in those products contribute to harmful algae blooms and fish kills.
- Group plants by water needs to make watering more efficient.
- Make sure all of your students doing research have been trained in proper lab techniques and waste disposal. Make sure the students understand potential problems which may arise as a result of chemical interactions or accidentally mixing the wrong chemicals.
- Keep up with the maintenance of campus equipment and vehicles. Catching leaks early prevents oil, antifreeze and other containments from spilling onto the ground and contaminating stormwater runoff.
Making a commitment to change at least one habit that contributes to stormwater pollution can result in benefits to our water resources that will be shared by the TNCC community as a whole.
We hope that you will implement the suggestions offered.
- Place litter, including cigarette butts, in trash receptacles. Never throw litter in streets or down storm drains.
- Make use of recycling programs.
- Report leaking faucets or running toilets to maintenance staff. Decreasing water usage, you can help prevent the sewer system from overloading and contaminating ground water and surface water.
- Get involved in the planning and zoning process in your community. That's where the decisions are made that shape the course of development and the future quality of our environment.
- Regular tune-ups and inspections can help keep automotive waste and byproducts from contaminating runoff.
- Participate in clean-up activities on campus and in the surrounding community.
- Write or call your elected representatives to inform them about your concerns and encourage legislation to protect water resources.
- Get involved in local planning and zoning decisions and encourage your local officials to develop erosion and sediment control ordinances.
- Form student groups to promote environmental education. Help educate people in your college and surrounding community about ways in which they can help protect water quality.

BACKGROUND: In about a third of patients with venous thromboembolism, the cause of the disorder is unexplained. In patients with atherosclerosis, activation of both platelets and blood coagulation and an increase in fibrin turnover are detectable, which may lead to thrombotic complications. Whether atherosclerosis is associated with an increased risk ...

Physicians Poll
There's a lot of interesting facts and data in this story. E.g.:
-[In Massachusetts] The percentage of primary care practices closed to new patients is the highest ever recorded.
-The U.S. today has just 2.4 physicians per 1,000 population — below the median of 3.1 for members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the official club of wealthy nations.
-The AMA, in fact, represents approximately 18% of physicians and has been hit with a number of defections by members opposed to the AMA's support of Democrats' proposed health care overhaul.
-Four of nine doctors, or 45%, said they "would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement" if Congress passes the plan the Democratic majority and White House have in mind.

Announcement (1)
Dear Subscribers and Friends of The Objective Standard,
Given the Obama administration's efforts to nationalize the health care industry—and the Republicans' rush to capitulate on the matter—we are making Paul Hsieh's article "How the Freedom to Contract Protects Insurability" (from the forthcoming issue of TOS) accessible on our website early and for free. Dr. Hsieh's article shows that, contrary to proposals being put forth by Republicans, a genuinely free market in health insurance is not only moral, in that it respects the rights of producers and consumers, but also practical, in that it enables businessmen to solve problems for profit—which leads to more and better products and services at lower prices for consumers. Please forward the link to everyone you know who might be open to reason.
Two other TOS articles pertaining directly to this national emergency are:
"Mandatory Health Insurance: Wrong for Massachusetts, Wrong for America," which identifies the theory behind the Massachusetts mandatory health insurance program, exposes the program as a fiasco, explains why the theory had to fail in practice, and sheds light on the only genuine, rights-respecting means to affordable, accessible health care for Americans—and . . .
"Moral Health Care vs. "Universal Health Care," which surveys the history of government interference in health insurance and medicine in America, specifying the rights violations and economic problems caused thereby; enumerates the failed attempts to solve those economic problems by means of further government interference; and shows that the only viable solution to the debacle at hand is to gradually and systematically transition to a rights-respecting, fully free market in these industries.
America is slipping into statism, and, if we do not reverse course soon, we are going to slip all the way. Please promote these articles—which provide clear, principled, moral arguments for a free market in health care—in whatever ways you can. Our freedom and health are at stake.
Thank you,
Craig Biddle, Editor

H. W. Jenkins Ghost Writes Obama's Health Care Speech
The WSJ has a humorous but trenchant take on how Obama's "reforms" are following a bipartisan path we've been on for many decades.

Health Care is neither a Right nor a Privilege
Here's another good editorial. A short excerpt:
Nor is medical care a privilege. A privilege is something authority figures permit us to do at their discretion. No one considers auto repair to be a right, but it's absurd to consider it "a privilege." No one grants you the "privilege" of having money to repair your car. Rather, if you want to own a functioning car, you must take responsibility to finance its repair by earning wealth. The same goes for medical treatment.

Typical Conservatives
It seems that everywhere I look, even the most conservative and fiscally responsible voices in our mainstream media have this kind of approach:
David Walker sounds like a modern-day Paul Revere as he warns about the country's perilous future. "We suffer from a fiscal cancer," he tells a meeting of the National Taxpayers Union, the nation's oldest anti-tax lobby. "Our off balance sheet obligations associated with Social Security and Medicare put us in a $56 trillion financial hole—and that's before the recession was officially declared last year. America now owes more than Americans are worth—and the gap is growing!"So what do they propose?
Mr. Walker identifies the disease as having a basic cause: "Washington is totally out of touch and out of control," he sighs. "There is political courage there, but there is far more political careerism and people dodging real solutions." He identifies entrenched incumbency as a real obstacle to change. "Members of Congress ensure they have gerrymandered seats where they pick the voters rather than the voters picking them and then they pass out money to special interests who then make sure they have so much money that no one can easily challenge them," he laments. He believes gerrymandering should be curbed and term limits imposed if for no other reason than to inject some new blood into the system. On campaign finance, he supports a narrow constitutional amendment that would bar congressional candidates from accepting contributions from people who can't vote for them: "If people can't vote in a district not their own, should we allow them to spend unlimited money on behalf of someone across the country?"Despite being overt advocates of socialism, here's how they label themselves:
As for health care, Mr. Walker says he had hopes for comprehensive health-care reform earlier this year and met with most of the major players to fashion a compromise. "President Obama got the sequence wrong by advocating expanding coverage before we've proven our ability to control costs," he says. "If we don't get our fiscal house in order, but create new obligations we'll have a Thelma and Louise moment where we go over the cliff." Mr. Walker's preferred solution is a plan that combines universal coverage for all Americans with an overall limit on the federal government's annual health expenditures. His description reminds me of the unicorn—a marvelous creature we all wish existed but is not likely to ever be seen on this earth. (emphasis added)
Despite an occasional detour into support for government intervention, Mr. Walker remains the Jeffersonian he grew up as in his native Virginia. "I view the Constitution with deep respect," he told me. "My ancestors and those of my wife fought and died in the Revolution, and I care a lot about returning us to the principles of the Founding Fathers."I'm working on a new editorial which I hope will effectively challenge this all too typical attitude and approach.

Man Haters Strike Again
Environmentalists--who value wilderness over man--appear to be largely responsible for the fires currently raging here in California. Refreshingly, a mainstream media article actually points this out:
Some critics suggested that protests from environmentalists contributed to the disaster, which came after the brush was allowed to build up for as much as 40 years.A university professor, who lives off of our tax dollars, had this to say in rebuttal:
"This brush was ready to explode," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich, whose district overlaps the forest. "The environmentalists have gone to the extreme to prevent controlled burns, and as a result we have this catastrophe today."
Prescribed burns are intended to protect homes and lives by eliminating fuel that can cause explosive wildfires. The wildfire that has blackened 140,000 acres — or nearly 219 square miles — in the forest over the past week has been fed by the kind of tinder-dry vegetation that prescribed burns are designed to safely devour.
The blaze has destroyed more than five dozen homes, killed two firefighters and forced thousands of people to flee. Firefighters reported modest progress Wednesday as investigators said the blaze was human-caused, though it was not clear exactly how the fire started or whether it was accidental or arson.
Figures from the California's South Coast Air Quality Management District suggested even less was protectively burned. The agency said it granted seven permits sought by the Forest Service to conduct prescribed burns on 2,748 acres in the forest this year. The agency reviews such requests to ensure air quality in the often-smoggy Los Angeles area will not be worsened by smoke from intentional fires. But records show only 12.8 acres burned.
Four of the permits, totaling 1,257 acres, were granted in areas involved in the wildfire, according to the air quality agency.
But the Forest Service disputed those figures. Bear said the plan was to burn 1,748 acres, and 193 were cleared.
Government firefighters set thousands of blazes each year to reduce the wildfire risk in overgrown forests and grasslands around the nation. Prescribed burns can also improve overall forest health and increase forage for wildlife.
Obtaining the necessary permits is a complicated process, and such efforts often draw protests from environmentalists.
Ultimately, he said, the answer is to stop building in fire-prone areas instead of spending huge sums on firefighting.That's the anti-man view in microcosm.

"Rest assured, you have the attention of the President and the White House"
"Rest assured, you have the attention of the President and the White House"
My first meeting as a public member of the IACC
By Geri Dawson, Chief Science Officer
Last Friday was my first meeting as a public member of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC). It was a particularly momentous meeting for the IACC because, for the first time, Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), attended the meeting along with two colleagues from DHHS, Howard Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health, and Henry Claypool, Director, Office on Disability. In addition, two representatives from the White House, Michael Strautmanis, Chief of Staff to the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Engagement, and Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy, attended the meeting. Moreover, Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health, addressed the IACC. It was an auspicious beginning to my experience on this committee, to be sure.
The Secretary began by welcoming five new members to the IACC, which included Gerald Fischbach from the Simons Foundation, Marjorie Solomon from the MIND Institute at UC Davis, Ari Ne'Eman from the Autism Self-Advocacy Network, Denise Resnik from the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, and me, representing Autism Speaks. Secretary Sebelius began by telling the committee members that we "need to leverage all of our assets" and "work together across all agencies" to address the "alarming increase in autism rates" as well the need for "top notch research and services." She promised that she will be taking very seriously the recommendations that come from the IACC. She told the committee, "Rest assured, you have the attention of the President and the White House." Kareem Dale reiterated these themes, remarking that the White House's goal and mission are to give autism issues the "highest level of attention."
These encouraging remarks were followed by those of Dr. Collins, who also previously served as the Director of the NIH Genome Institute and the Human Genome Project. He began by stressing the need to understand the causes of autism and ways of preventing and treating this challenging condition. "I get the sense of urgency," Collins remarked, a point he said was especially made clear to him during an earlier meeting he held this year with parents and members of autism advocacy groups. "Parents are never happier than their saddest child," he remarked, "and if we can help with our resources, that's what we want to do." He noted that the IACC is distinguished among other government committees by its membership and activism, a fact that reflects the passion and urgency of the autism community. Dr. Collins shared his enthusiasm for the important role of genetics in the discovery of causes and treatments for autism, noting in particular, the exciting results of the Novartis clinical trial that was featured on the front page of last Friday's New York Times. He stated that he didn't think that the whole story is DNA, however, and that environmental factors and their interaction with genetic factors play key roles in understanding the causes of autism. In this regard, he described the National Children's Study, a huge NIH effort to follow 100,000 children from conception through adulthood to discover how environmental exposures are influencing children's health outcomes. He explained that autism is one of the stronger reasons for investing in this expensive effort. He also noted that research on behavioral interventions for ASD continue to be important. The necessity to avoid conservatism in the types of grants NIH funds, especially during hard economic times, was highlighted. Collins encouraged "out of the box" ideas that can open new perspectives and directions for autism research. He ended by again expressing his awareness of the great suffering that is experienced by many people with autism spectrum disorders and their families, ending with a quote from Winston Churchill – "If you are going through hell, keep going." "Let's all keep going," he urged the IACC members, "because on the other side, there will be more understanding and more hope."
I had the pleasure of giving the first talk after Dr. Collins. I reported on the activities and achievements of Autism Speaks' Autism Treatment Network (ATN). I described the goals of the ATN, which include improving access and quality of medical care for children with ASD, developing evidence-based treatment guidelines, providing clinician training in the medical treatment of ASD, and conducting research on medical treatments. I described the network of 14 academic centers that comprise the ATN, which provides care for over 5,000 children (with over 2,000 now part of the ATN patient registry). Based on data collected through the registry, I described the common kinds of medical issues that many children with ASD face, including GI problems, sleep disturbances, neurological conditions, among others. I also described the vision for the ATN, which is to increase the number of centers nationwide, improve quality of care through training and guideline development, and provide empirical support for novel and effective treatments for ASD. After my presentation, several people remarked that they were not previously aware of the extent to which medical conditions affect the quality of life for individuals with ASD. To read more about the other presentations at last Friday's IACC meeting, click here.
It is an honor to serve people with autism and their families on the IACC. I will do my best to represent all those who are suffering because of autism. My first charge will be to do everything I can to persuade our government to keep the promises made at Friday's meeting of the IACC.
Supporting Americans with Disabilities
We applaud the Obama White House for its continuing support of individuals with disabilities. Through the stimulus act, the administration committed additional funds to autism research, on top of the existing National Institutes of Health funding and Combating Autism Act funding.
Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy, blogged yesterday about another move the administration made to support those with disabilities. Read more here in his White House blog. We applaud all their efforts to move the disability agenda ahead and we look forward to seeing what's around the next corner for autism.
