Wounds of War
April 18, 2008
A report released yesterday by the Rand Corporation titled "Invisible Wounds of War" says that 1 in 5 soldiers, almost 300,000, who have fought in Iraq or Afghanistan have major depression or post traumatic stress disorder.
The economic cost-- including medical care, lost productivity and lost lives through suicide -- is estimated at $4 billion to $6 billion over two years, according to the Washington Post .
The 500-page report, titled "Invisible Wounds of War," says prolonged and repeated exposure to combat stress is causing a disproportionately high psychological toll compared with physical injuries. It warns of "long-term, cascading consequences" for the nation -- ranging from a greater likelihood of drug use and suicide to increased marital problems and unemployment -- if the mental health problems are left untreated.
The survey of 1,965 service members (currently serving and veterans) from across the country also reveals that only about half of those experiencing mental illnesses have sought treatment. Even fewer who have suffered head trauma have seen a doctor.
The report is the first one done outside of the government, and according to Army Surgeon General Eric Schoomaker in a New York Times article, it was welcome.
The report is not much different from numbers from studies inside of the government, but officials say it could help distinguish the stigma of mental illness in military culture and encourage change that is much needed.

Same goes with holy war, can't earn much for holy war points if the order you attack is filled with people that only have 10 def. Sure, attack me 20 times and claim your 60 points max.
The only reason I can think of putting anything in defense is if you can build a CRAZY strong defense deck and gain honor through people attacking you, but you probably better be stupid strong and have a bunch of def over and above...

Integrating The Hewlett Foundation's Global Development and Population Programs*
President's Statement - 2009 Annual Report
In March 2010, after more than a year's intensive work by the Hewlett Foundation's staff and Board of Directors, the Foundation decided to combine its Global Development and Population programs into a single program. Building on the traditions and commitments of its antecedents, the new program seeks to improve the lives of the world's most vulnerable people, especially women and girls, through more accountable governance, improved reproductive health and rights, access to quality education, and better economic opportunities. This essay describes the background of the Board's decision.
History of the Population Program
Population was prominent among the issues that animated Bill and Flora Hewlett from the earliest days of the Foundation, with grants to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Association of San Francisco dating back to 1967. At that time, the Foundation was concerned about the disastrous effects of unbridled population growth, and supported family planning as a specific method to combat this problem.
In 1977, under the presidency of Roger W. Heyns, the Foundation formally established four programs, all of which remain to this day: Arts and Humanities (now Performing Arts), Education, Environment, and Population. Anne Firth Murray, the first program officer for Population, played a major role in defining its focus: the provision of family planning both domestically and globally.
When the Hewlett Foundation was established, population growth was a problem of global dimensions. Economic development, the increased availability of family planning (aided in part by Hewlett and other foundations), and other forces effectively helped reduce population growth over the next half century. (Figures 1 to 4 illustrate these dramatic changes in global demography.) In the twenty-first century, fertility rates remain high mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and other pockets of extreme poverty.
This same period also saw a transformation in global consciousness about issues of reproductive health and rights, which crystallized in 1994 in the United Nations International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt. The resulting Programme of Action links population, women's well-being, and development as essential means for combating poverty and stabilizing population growth.2 The Programme of Action further recognized the intrinsic value of reproductive rights and the need to protect them in all countries, regardless of their rates of population growth.
Under the successive leadership3 of Faith Mitchell (1987 to 1992), Nancy Moss (1993 to 1995), Joseph Speidel (1995 to 2002), and Sara Seims (2003 to the present), the Population Program strengthened its commitment to family planning and reproductive health because of their benefits to individuals, societies, and the entire global community. The Program's work focused increasingly on sub-Saharan Africa, where fertility rates remained, and still remain, high.
Under Ms. Seims' direction, the Program undertook a major review of its overall strategies. This led to the adoption of the mutually reinforcing goals of "promoting and protecting reproductive health and rights and helping governments stabilize their populations in ways that maximize human well-being and sustain the environment." The Program also supported studies of the relationship between fertility rates and access to quality education, and launched a research initiative to understand the complex relationship between family planning and reproductive health on the one hand, and poverty and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa on the other.
Emergence of the Global Development Program
While Population has been among the Foundation's core programs since its origin, grantmaking in the broader arena of global development emerged only in the past decade.
In 2002, the Board of Directors approved a three-year exploratory initiative led by Smita Singh to identify international problems that the Foundation could meaningfully address. The initiative made grants in areas including foreign aid effectiveness and agricultural trade reform; journalism, media, and public education about global current affairs; research and policy analysis on development and security concerns; and in-country philanthropy. After initial explorations, the initiative concentrated mainly on challenges facing the developing world.
After three years of promising grantmaking, the Board authorized the development of a new Global Development Program, headed by Ms. Singh, with the mission of "improving the lives and livelihoods of people in developing countries, particularly those living on less than $2 a day." After intense research and consultation, the Program developed a strategic plan that was approved by the Board in 2007. It included a set of initiatives designed to overcome significant barriers to equitable growth:
- Increasing the transparency and accountability of public spending in order to improve basic services.
- Expanding agricultural markets for small farmers.
- Improving educational outcomes for children in developing countries.
In addition, recognizing the importance of developing countries' having independent capacity for policy analysis, the Program supported indigenous policy research institutions and think tanks throughout the developing world.
Although a young program, Global Development quickly gained influence on issues such as reforming development assistance practices, making aid more transparent and accountable, and refocusing global attention on education in developing countries from mere access to quality and outcomes. The Program collaborated in creating the Revenue Watch Institute and the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, and played a major role in exposing European Union agricultural subsidies and Mexican budget practices to public scrutiny.
Collaboration between the Programs
Virtually since its beginning, the Foundation has been aware of the factors that connect population and reproductive health issues with the broader global development agenda. Early on, Population's Anne Firth Murray had noted that fertility was affected by a country's stage of economic development and by women's access to education and employment: "We had to provide family planning services for women so they had [the] choice to limit their families, and we also had to develop economically and educationally so people would see the value of having fewer children and . . . understand that if they could have healthy children, they didn't need to have ten in order to have three or four survive."
The emergence of the Global Development Program soon led to collaborations with the Population Program that built on these connections. For example, they undertook a joint initiative on Quality Education in Developing Countries, believing that improved learning outcomes in developing countries would have multiple benefits for economic development, health, individual well-being, and fertility. Given the direct links between education and better quality of life for all, and particularly between girls' education and lower fertility rates, the Foundation saw investment in this initiative as a way to further its overarching goals.
Learning from Global Development's work on transparency and accountability, Population launched an initiative for "More Money, Well Spent" on family planning. This effort supports efforts to allocate family planning and reproductive health resources more efficiently and effectively. The two programs seek to ensure that poor people receive high-quality basic services, including clean water, education, and reproductive health.
Integrating the Programs
As we saw these convergences, Sara Seims, Smita Singh, and I began asking whether the Foundation's goals might be more effectively reached by moving beyond informal collaboration between the programs to formally combining them. We saw particular benefits from placing population issues within the broader global development frame. We also recognized that because both program directors were leaving the Foundation within the coming year and a half, this was an opportune time for the Board to address the idea of integration.
Because of its importance to the Foundation's mission, the Board devoted extraordinary attention to this matter, forming a special task force and discussing it at each of its meetings over the course of a year. In March 2009, the Board authorized the three of us to continue to explore the pros and cons of a unified program as well as its possible structure. In the fall and winter of 2009, joined by members of the Board, we met with distinguished experts in population and other development fields in Washington, DC and New York City.4 Members of the two programs' staffs also played an important role in charting the future of an integrated program.
These extensive discussions and consultations, which yielded the following broad conclusions:
- At the most fundamental level, the Population and Global Development programs share the goal of improving the well-being of the very poor-particularly women-in developing countries.
- Rapid rates of population growth are increasingly concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa, a region characterized by high unmet need for contraception together with large desired family size. To address both factors, the Foundation should continue to improve the quality and access of family planning and reproductive health services and advance development strategies to reduce desired family size. Indeed, most experts thought that the best way to ensure that women receive the family planning and reproductive health services in the developing world was to treat these services as essential components of poverty reduction and economic growth-that is, to pursue population strategies within a broader set of development objectives. In the words of a renowned population expert, "population stabilization is not an end in itself. It is an important lever to the greater, ultimate goal of global development: to reduce poverty, improve human well-being, and improve health."
- Many of our consultants emphasized the importance of continuing the Foundation's support for reproductive rights, which have proven to be vulnerable in all countries, whatever their development level or population growth rate.
- Women and girls are the most disadvantaged of the poor, and virtually every development strategy-certainly every one the Foundation currently pursues-disproportionately benefits women. However, the Foundation has never defined population or global development issues as "women's issues," but rather as ones for society as a whole, with benefits for economic growth, prosperity, and environmental sustainability. Almost to a person, the experts we consulted thought that it would be counterproductive to the Foundation's goals to make women's well-being the central mission of a unified program. They noted that after more than two decades of unsuccessful women's programs, multilateral and bilateral institutions are moving toward gender mainstreaming to ensure that gender issues are integral to development strategies. The experts also thought that creating a "women's program" would marginalize it among decisionmakers who hold the purse strings.
On a theoretical level, the experts confirmed our belief that the Foundation's investments in the two programs are inextricably linked parts of a virtuous circle: better-educated mothers have fewer children, who are healthier and better educated; improvements in family planning and reproductive health and rights also lead to healthier mothers and children; and these women and children become workers who contribute to society and promote economic growth. At the same time, gains in income and education reduce desired family size and, with an adequate supply of contraception, women have fewer children and invest in them more heavily, contributing to higher per capita wealth.
As a practical matter, the experts believed that a unified program had the potential for considerably greater impact than separate programs. But they cautioned that we should be aware of potential pitfalls as well. The Hewlett Foundation has a long-standing concern for population issues, a more recent but highly promising agenda in global development, and a well earned reputation for staying the course with valuable strategies. Thus, it was important that integration not signal a diminished commitment to the core components of either program.
In addition, the experts noted at least one potential tension between the two programs' strategies. While the Global Development Program supports allocations based on evidence of actual needs on the ground rather than donor earmarks, the Population Program supports organizations that advocate for increased international funding of family planning and reproductive health. It may well be that special consideration must be given to aspects of development, such as family planning and reproductive health, that are ideologically controversial. In any event, the experts did not regard this as a problem with integration, but rather as an indication of the value of unifying the Foundation's various development strategies.
The New Global Development and Population Program
As of this writing, the search for a director of our new Global Development and Population Program is under way. Over time, the director will doubtless develop and propose to the President and the Board some new strategies for the integrated program. He or she will not start with a blank slate, however. As approved by the Board, the Global Development and Population Program will build on the core goals of the two existing programs:
- Improving the well-being of the world's poorest people, especially women.
- Creating the conditions for equitable and sustainable economic growth in the developing world.
- Enabling women to control the number and timing of their pregnancies and protecting women and girls against gender-based violence, sexually transmitted infections, and unsafe abortions.
- Establishing the conditions for transparent and accountable governance, particularly in the financing and delivery of public services.
- Investing in human capital by ensuring that all children have the opportunity to learn in school.
All of this work will continue to be supported by data collection, research, evaluation, and training, including support for the Think Tank Initiative, impact evaluation, and the training of population scientists in African universities.
The Foundation's grantmaking will continue to support work at the global, regional, national, and, where appropriate, subnational levels. Reflecting the Foundation's significant expertise and commitments, the Program will maintain the current focus on sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Mexico. Although challenges in domestic reproductive health and rights policy differ from those in the developing world, our commitment to organizations working on these issues in the United States remains strong, and support for their efforts will remain a core element of the integrated program.
As conditions in the world change and new challenges and opportunities emerge, the Program's strategies will inevitably evolve and shift. However, the integrated program will continue to reflect the core operating principles of the Foundation's international grantmaking:
- Building capacity within developing countries and providing the long-term institutional support to make this possible.
- Focusing on lasting system change and facilitating policy reforms to make this possible.
- Building the evidence base for sound policymaking.
- Thinking rigorously about goals and strategies and holding ourselves accountable through appropriate evaluations.
- Taking risks for long-term gains and learning from failures.
- Increasing the value of the Foundation's investments through collaborations with governments, multilateral and bilateral donors, sister philanthropies, the private sector, and civil societies in the South and the North.
- Seeking long-lasting impact for the greatest number of people.

The Highest Good as Content for Kant's Ethical Formalism
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Kant-Studien, Vol. 56, p. 102, 1965
This article examines Kant's conception of the highest good (summum bonum) with a view to determining whether it can, as Kant believed, function as a necessary content for the form of moral violation. It argues that it cannot and also suggests that the whole procedure of looking for a material content to fill out Kant's formalism is spurious, because this content is already quite obviously given in the context of common moral experience.
In dealing with this notion of the highest good, this article is primarily concerned to investigate the differences between Professors John Silber and Lewis White Beck on this subject. It outlines and questions Professor Silber's continued insistence that Kant, in speaking of the highest good as a necessary object of moral violation, was exhibiting great insight. Contrarily, this article argues that Kant's introduction of this notion was unnecessary and ill-advised, serving as it does extra-moral theological purposes by introducing confusions into the epistemology of his moral philosophy proper.

Job's Guilt
Everything was fulfilled,
I was spared nothing.
Who will forgive me.
Poetry From the July 2004 issue: Speaking In Tongues: Religious Literature
Ryszard KrynickiRyszard Krynicki
Ryszard Krynicki, one of the most prominent poets of postwar Poland, was born in 1943 in Sankt Valentin, Austria, where his parents had been deported to a Nazi labor camp. In Poland in the 1960s he became a leading member of the "New Wave" group of poets, which included Adam Zagajewski and Stanislaw Baranczak. He was co-editor of Zapis, the first independent literary magazine in Communist Poland to be published outside the reach of official censorship. He made his debut in 1968 with the collection Speed of Chase, Speed of Flight, and after the publication of his second collection, Collective Organism, in a form severely cut by censorship, his work was published by the Institut Littéraire in Paris and by underground presses in Poland. His most recent collection, Magnetic Point, was published in 1996. Krynicki is a distinguished translator of German-language poetry, in particular of Paul Celan and Nelly Sachs. He has received many awards, among them the Polish Poets' Award, the Koscielski Foundation Award, and the Robert Graves-PEN Club Award. Since 1989 he has run the prestigious independent publishing house a5, which publishes Wislawa Szymborska, Zbigniew Herbert, Adam Zagajewski and the work of many younger Polish poets, as well as literary essays and poetry in translation.
Translated from PolishPolish by Alissa VallesAlissa Valles

Update: Suspect met with investigators Friday, admitted killing and provided information on location of body, court documents say.
From Mirror reports
HUNTINGDON -- The search for Sherry Leighty is over.
The remains of the Altoona woman who vanished in the the fall of 1999 have been found, Huntingdon County District Attorney George Zanic told reporters during a press conference this morning.
According to court documents, the suspect the case, Kenneth W. Leighty, 65, met with investigators Friday, admitted to the killing and provided more information on where her body was located.
The search for Leighty centered on a 150-acre property in rural Warriors Mark Township, Huntingdon County, after Sherry Leighty's ex-father-in-law, Kenneth Leighty, allegedly told his son that he had accidentally killed the 23-year-old mother of three and buried her along a fence row on the familys hunting property.
Kenneth Leighty was arraigned this morning in Huntingdon County on homicide charges and returned to Blair County Prison, where he's awaiting trial on aggravated assault charges stemming from an alleged altercation with state and Altoona police at his home when investigators attempted to take him in for further questioning April 19.
Mirror reporters are working on updates and will provide them for altoonamirror.com and in Tuesday's print edition.

However, they only sell wholesale, and then only partners can buy anything but the most basic stuff (lower end routers/switches) from them. I buy a lot of my new cisco from CDW. For big deals, I can loop in a Cisco AM with my CDW rep and get a better discount than normal. I haven't been able to confirm it, but I'd bet CDW gets a lot of their stuff from Ingram or Tech Data.

LOCKPORT – David B. Cohen, the brother of Livingston County Judge Dennis S. Cohen, pleaded guilty Wednesday to growing marijuana in a rented house on Tonawanda Creek Road in Pendleton.
David Cohen, 50, moved from the Livingston County Town of Caledonia to Transit Road on the border of the Genesee County towns of Bethany and Pavilion, so he would be eligible to take part in the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas warned him that he faces up to 5½ years in state prison if he washes out of his treatment program, to be supervised through City of Batavia Drug Court.
David Cohen pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal possession of marijuana. He was arrested Jan. 13, 2012, in a police raid on the Pendleton property, where officers found an indoor pot-growing operation and 16 pounds of the drug.

The White team used a trio of big plays and held off a furious comeback from the Green squad to win the Stetson Hatters spring football game on Friday afternoon at the Athletics Training Center.
The White team's 30-22 victory avenged a loss in the fall Homecoming scrimmage.
Hatters head coach Roger Hughes said the team showed that it has improved, but also showed there is work to do.
"We turned the ball over too many times," Hughes said. "You can't do that and win games, especially when you're undersized and a little under experienced. Over that, I'm pleased with the effort. The guys kept fighting until the end and they were having fun out there.
"The other thing is the turnout. That fan support has been unwavering."
Led by quarterback Ryan Tentler, who ran for a 75-yard tournament on the first play of the game, the White team earned the win in the fourth quarter. Tentler hooked up with Kegan Moore for a 53-yard TD pass with 6:59 to play to put the White team up 23-22.
After getting the ball back with less than a minute left with a chance to run out the clock, the White team put icing on the cake when Meyrick Lamb ripped off a 65-yard touchdown run.
Those late big plays dashed a second half comeback by the Green team, which was down 16-0 at halftime but knotted the game at 16-all with a pair of third quarter touchdowns, both on quarterback runs. Jonathan Jerozal scored on a 20-yard run with 6:32 left in the third and then Alex Marsh scored on a seven-yard run with 2:19 to play in the quarter.
Both touchdowns were followed by two-point conversion passes to Eric Fitzgerald.
The Green team pushed into the lead early in the fourth quarter when Fitzgerald hauled in a one-yard TD pass from Marsh. The Green's try to two failed there, leaving the lead at 22-16.
Individual offensive standouts for the White team included Lamb, who rushed for 135 yards on 13 carries. Tentler added 79 rushing yards on just four carries as the White team piled up 226 total rushing yards.
Tentler led the passing attack by completing 7-of-10 passes for 115 yards and a score. Nick LaSala also connected on 7-of-10 passes for 106 yards, including a nine-yard scoring strike to Antonio Arroyo. Justin Slaven hit on 8-of-15 passes for 60 yards. The White team passed for 281 yards in the game.
Top receivers for the White team included Rob Coggin (6-84), Alex Valentin (3-73) and Moore (3-73).
The leading rusher for the Green team was Jerozal with 50 yards on 12 carries. The Green team only managed to rush for 151 yards on 47 carries in the game. Jerozal was also the leading passer for the Green team, hitting on 11-of-22 passes for 176 yards. He was also intercepted once.
Marsh completed 4-of-10 pass attempts for 96 yards and a score while Ian Leggett was 2-of-5 for 40 yards.
Top receivers for the Green team were Calvin Armatas with two catched for 62 yards, Louis Tuszynski with two for 57 and Devon Garnett with two for 50.
Defensively, the White team was led by Davion Belk with six tackles, including one and a half sacks, and Jake Paine with five tackles, two for loss, and a pass breakup. Overall, the White team defense had three sacks and 12 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and an interception.
Sean Hensley led the Green team with eight tackles, including one for loss, while Donald Payne and Bobby Jakubek had seven each. Payne forced a fumble and had a pass breakup while Jakubek had a tackle for loss and a pass break up.
With spring practice mostly in the books – the team will have one session after spring break – the Hatters can now turn their full attention toward opening the 2013 season.
"We now become one team again," Hughes said. "We've been playing against each other and beating on each other, and now it's really a chance to come together with one common opponent."
In the six months left before Stetson football officially returns, the Hatters will focus on the things that will help make the team a success.
"We're not as strong as we need to be and you can't stop emphasizing the fundamentals," Hughes said. "You still have to tackle, you have to be in the right gaps and, offensively, you have to hold onto the football. This film is going to be a real teaching tool for them to reemphasize the importance of these things."

The widely held sentiment that a culture's evolution can be measured by how well it takes care of its weakest, most vulnerable members is being put to the test, according to children's health advocates.
The idea of applying a defending-the-defenseless yardstick to civilization is not new. World leaders including Mahatma Ghandi, Winston Churchill, Harry Truman and at least two popes have uttered some variation on the idea.
In the health care spectrum, the most vulnerable are usually at the two ends of life -- the very young and the old. The U.S. took a large step toward caring for elders by establishing Medicare a half century ago. At the other end, caring for U.S. children has been more of a patchwork effort over the past several decades.
"The safety net for children can't begin to compare with what we've done for the elderly," said Jay Berkelhamer, former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics and current chair of the academy's Subcommittee on Access.
One of the goals of the Affordable Care Act is to knit together some of those patches to make coverage for kids more effective and affordable. Legal challenges to the ACA, now awaiting a ruling from the Supreme Court, leave children's advocates with an uncomfortable mixture of worry and optimism.
Jane Perkins, legal director for the National Health Law Program, told California Healthline that despite the fractured nature of coverage, there is a strong commitment in the U.S. to care for children.
"I agree that Congress has covered children through a patchwork of enactments. However, their commitment to improving children's access to care has been consistent and strong, having amended the Medicaid Act on numerous occasions to expand eligibility to increasing groups of low-income children and giving states numerous options to cover additional children and to clarify the scope of Medicaid-eligible children's entitlement the early and periodic screening, diagnostic and treatment services," Perkins said.
Children's Coverage Included in ACA
In a recent webinar, "Children, the Court and the Constitution," Perkins highlighted six provisions of the ACA that affect children and youth:
"There are so many provisions in this law that help children and young adults," Perkins said in her preview of oral arguments before the Supreme Court.
She added, "What happens to those provisions is going to be important as we move forward as a country."
More Children Live in Poverty
Coverage patches at all levels are less effective when children live in poverty, and poverty among children is growing in the U.S. About 20% of the nation's children are living below the federal poverty line, according public and private research.
"Now, with one in every five children in the United States living in poverty, that makes it difficult enough," said Andrew Racine, chief of pediatrics at the Children's Hospital at Montefiori Medical Center in New York.
"But it's not only a question of poverty but the distance between the rich and poor that seems to have an impact on the health of children," Racine told journalists last week at the annual Association of Health Care Journalists conference in Atlanta.
Racine cited research by UNICEF that suggests that "as income inequality increases, children's well-being goes down."
"None of this is news," Racine said. "It's all pretty well known but considering what we see happening with the distribution of wealth and the challenges to health care reform, it's pretty sobering."
Parts of ACA Descended From 'MediKids'
Some of the ACA's provisions aimed at children's coverage are descendants of the House "MediKids" bill sponsored seven years ago by the American Academy of Pediatrics and introduced by California Democrat Rep. Pete Stark. The MediKids Health Insurance Act of 2005 would have amended the Social Security Act to guarantee comprehensive health care coverage for all children born after 2006. The bill died before gaining much traction.
MediKids was an attempt to augment coverage provided by the Children's Health Insurance Program, probably the single largest national patch in children's health coverage. Signed into law in 1997, CHIP helps states provide health coverage to about eight million children in families who have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but not high enough to buy insurance on their own. Healthy Families is California's CHIP program.
"With MediKids, we were trying to drive a stake in the ground saying every child ought to have access to affordable health care," Berkelhamer said.
"We think the ACA does drive that stake, but there will still be a considerable number left without coverage. It leaves out children who are newly immigrated to our country, for instance," Berkelhamer added.
The ACA moves closer to the American Academy of Pediatrics' contention that quality health care is a right, regardless of income or any other status, according to Berkelhamer. The academy spelled out what the reform law means for kids in "ABCs of the ACA: What the Law Means for Children and Pediatricians."
Extra Patches in California
In California, the patchwork of kids' coverage has included statewide efforts such as First 5 California, as well as county-specific initiatives.
In 1998, California voters approved Proposition 10, which created and funded First 5 California, also known as the California Children and Families Commission. The initiative added a 50-cent tax to each pack of cigarettes sold in the state. The money is used to fund health services, education, child care and other services.
California Coverage & Health Initiatives, an association of community-based programs operating in 29 of the state's 58 counties, helps kids and their families enroll in health insurance programs funded at federal, state and local levels.
"We have tried to go the next step in providing health coverage for children in California," said Kristen Golden Testa, California health program director for The Children's Partnership.
"We're trying to actualize a culture change," Golden Testa said. "Before, the process operated on a 'Prove-to-me-that-you're eligible' premise. We're trying to move that to a 'Yes, everybody is eligible' culture. Come on in and we'll figure out the best way to do it."
"I think we're doing that with our county initiatives and that's what ACA is trying to do, too. The idea is to come into these exchanges through any door and we'll figure out how to get you covered," Golden Testa said.
Children's advocates say they'll move forward no matter what the Supreme Court decides.
"While we don't want the ACA to go away, we will forge on regardless," said Michael Odeh, California health policy associate with Children Now.
"Kids' health has to remain a priority at state and national levels. The ACA will help us evolve as a society, but either way we still have a ton of work to do -- with or without the ACA," Odeh said.

Move over Chevy Chase, the Texas Turks have arrived.
"It's our own Griswold Family Christmas," Eaton resident Alan Sears said with a laugh as he watched his nieces take their first sledding trip down Nottingham Hill Tuesday afternoon after all the Christmas presents were opened and dinner was done.
"We even have the can of Pam out here," said a laughing Cathy Turk, Sears' sister-in-law who was in town from Texas for the holidays. "It really does help. You can tell from their first time with it and consecutive runs without it."
The family was one several dozen that showed up to the University of Northern Colorado Tuesday for an few trips up and down the hill south of Nottingham Field on anything that might even resemble a sled.
The Turks were in Colorado four years ago for Christmas but there was no snow then, so they were hoping this trip would be different. In fact, snow on Christmas Day is rare. Tuesday was only the sixth time in the past 45 years that measurable snow fell on Dec. 25.
"We are so grateful to y'all for providing a white Christmas for us this year," Turk said.
"We traveled a long way for this white winter wonderland,' said Sears' other sister-in-law, Kim Turk, who also hails from Texas.
The Turk(wold) family Christmas wasn't complete, however, without a little bit of fun competition.
"I'm the world record holder," Alan said proudly about how far his sled could go at the base of the hill.
So when 16-year-old Cierra Turk crushed his distance — writing her name in the snow for all to see — there was good reason.
"It was your pusher," Alan said with a laugh about Cierra's dad's long, running send off of his daughter down the hill.
The family said the four inches that hit Greeley overnight was just the right amount to enjoy some family time together and have the Colorado Christmas they had always dreamed of.
"We were at the bottom of the hill and she said, 'This is real snow,' " Diane Sears said with a laugh about her niece, 12-year-old Kaysen Turk's, response to the white stuff Greeley hasn't seen an abundance of since 2011, when several inches fell early in the fall downing power lines and destroying 100-year-old trees.
"It's amazing," Kaysen said.

It's Saturday night and time to check in with your online love.
No time to change? No worries – romance between two people can blossom in comfort online. Never mind the lack of physical intimacy that most counselors say is necessary for a healthy union.
What kind of people can carry on romantic relations exclusively online, over the phone or by text?
"It may be a person with an average concern of rejection," said Nicole Urdang, a licensed mental health counselor in Amherst. "It may be someone who suffered extreme rejection in the past, a bad breakup – or even more deeply, a very bad experience in childhood with not being able to trust caretakers, which creates a deeper lack of trust."
Those who choose digital romance over an in-person relationship may have little time for anything else, according to cyber attorney Parry Aftab.
"Because they are lonely, they will look for love online," said Aftab, a national expert on Internet privacy law. "Because they are busy, they live with a connected relationship rather than an actual one. It happens far more often than any of us realize. You can reach out and check in with someone who will say something nice. You can turn it on and off when you want. You can engage in cyber sex or webcam sex and feel like you're part of a couple without all the costs of dating, without having to get dressed up and without having to meet his mother."
Who knows why Manti Te'o fell in virtual love? The Notre Dame linebacker who announced his girlfriend had died late last year discovered she did not exist at all. It appears, at this point, that their two-year phone relationship was a hoax perpetuated by a male admirer of Te'o.
While the baffling story of the nonexistent deceased girlfriend continued to make headlines, it also raised public awareness of the pitfalls facing those who fall in digital love. Online relationships, said one psychologist, can take on a huge role in people's lives.
"The possibilities for projection online are great," according to Sherry Turkle of MIT, who wrote "Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other." "With a person one will never meet, one projects who one needs one's lover to be. One can be less inhibited, and many people claim they express a 'truer' self."
"Whether or not we call this intimacy can be debated, but it is psychologically compelling," Turkle wrote in an email. "It can be healing. It can become the most important relationship in one's life."
Not for them
Two-thirds of the adults in this country regularly use social media – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn – to stay in touch with friends and family, according to new data from Pew Internet. Half of them go online to re-establish old friendships, while 14 percent connect with others around a shared hobby or interest. Only 3 percent say they use social media to find potential romantic partners, Pew data from 2012 indicated.
The reason is simple, according to one college student.
"It's a risk," said Marcella Osa, 20, of Clarence. "I just think it's dangerous. I mean, I've been in a military relationship where our only communication was letters, but at least we met first and I knew who he was."
Osa sat with her friends inside the Campbell Student Union at Buffalo State College. Their cellphones – like place cards – lined the table in front of them.
"It's creepy," said Lindsay Goff, 22 of Brewster. "If I see a picture, I may think they are attractive, but I would not want to date them just based on what they're telling me. I want to see how they are around their friends. That's really what creates chemistry."
Long Islander Jenna Laricchia, 22, said people in online relationships have an issue with self-confidence.
"We have a better opportunity of finding someone who we like right here," added Maddie Coneys, 19, of Albany. "And we know who they really are."
Relationships of any sort are challenging to maintain in a world that is digitally connected, experts agreed. Conflicts surface when people who want to merge also want to maintain their own identity.
Urdang called it the approach/avoidance conflict of intimacy. Taking it online, she explained, leaves ample room to wiggle.
"Creating an online relationship where you never meet the person fulfills both criteria at the same time because on one hand you have a sense of connection – someone is waiting for a text or an email or a phone call – yet at the same time, you are separate," she said. "I can see how the choice to have a virtual relationship would be very appealing to a certain segment of the population who do not feel safe trusting another person."
Cerebral intimacy
One third of adult Americans believe it is possible to conduct a romantic relationship online, according to an online survey conducted in 2011 called "Love in the Age of Social Media." Relationship counselors, however, question the level of intimacy that can be shared during digital relationships.
"There's no way you can be intimate with someone you never actually truly met," said Ceaton Falgiano, 42, a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Williamsville. "Intimacy has many levels. The intimate experience online is cerebral: I know all your secrets and you know mine. That's a safe level and enough to satisfy them."
Urdang said cyber relationships may also become addictive.
"We all know how powerful obsessive compulsive disorders can be," she said. "Virtual relationships are conduits for that obsessive compulsive disorder. You don't have to wait to get gratification."
Falgiano told the story of a woman in her late 40s who plans to marry a man she met online.
"They have never met, but they Skype a lot," Falgiano said. "It's online. She's self-employed, and does everything from home, including having a relationship."
Could the couple marry by Skype?
"It's possible in some jurisdictions to marry by proxy," said Aftab during a phone interview from her New Jersey office. "As a rule, jurisdictions require that two people be physically present before the officiant. Skype has people in two different places."
"People think teens are more susceptible to these online relationships than the [theoretical] lonely woman in New York State who goes online, falls in love and leaves her family," Aftab said. "Kids are more likely to enter into casual relationships, but adults engage in very deep, protracted and meaningful – and therefore higher-risk – relationships."
Concerned spouses
What would you think if someone you loved was involved in a virtual relationship and had an emotional affair? They may not be physically engaged with their e-mate, but they are sharing hopes and dreams and deepest thoughts and feelings.
"You're siphoning off emotional energy that would best be focused on your mate," said Urdang. "It's difficult enough to maintain a long-term loving relationship with someone even if you shower them with romantic loving emotional energy. If you siphon it off to someone else, oftentimes it will jeopardize your primary relationship."
The divisiveness created may lead to divorce, said Aftab.
"It's unlikely that online relationships and cyber sex would qualify as adultery under most of the state laws," said Aftab, "but it is enough to show the marriage is not working, and usually that's enough to get you a divorce these days."
Falgiano pointed to two cases where middle-aged women unhappy in their marriages developed online relationships with men that lasted several months. In each case, the woman who sought the online relationship created an online persona by shaving off years and inches. One was dying for intimacy, for someone to talk nicely to her, said Falgiano.
In both cases, their husbands found out.
Someone who assumes an online identity by posting false information is called a "catfish." A phenomenon defined in the 2010 documentary "Catfish," it is also the subject of a current MTV series.
Communicating with someone you do not meet is fertile waters for catfish, said Falgiano. Many lie about marital status, age. They may post their own decade-old photo or use a photo from someone else's social networking profile.
While the consequences of deception rarely end well, they can turn downright deadly.
In 2006, an online love triangle led to the ambush murder of a 22-year-old man in Clarence. Both he and his 48-year-old killer had been involved in an online relationship with the same middle-aged woman from West Virginia who posed as an 18-year-old using her teenage daughter's email and Web page to attract the men.
"People are just so miserable in their lives that they game," Falgiano explained.
Over time, online friends can create ideal cyber partners.
"They don't have to face each other or see their little habits," said Urdang. "Are they a spendthrift? Are they an alcoholic? What are their issues? All we get is the little slice that they share, the little portion. We don't get the full spectrum of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We form them through fantasy into an idealized partner."

It's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
So it's no surprise when someone is confident about something, it can be perceived as arrogant.
Friday night after New Riegel beat Carey, 8-2, in the district final, one of the other reporters made the comment to me that New Riegel coach Jamie Lininger is kind of cocky.
I told him the good ones usually are a bit arrogant.
As I got to thinking about it later, I readjusted my thought.
Was it confidence or was it arrogance?
Arrogance comes when you've proven nothing.
Confidence comes when you can back it up.
The good ones are confident in their teams and their abilities to bring out the best in the athletes playing for them.
An example of the difference came this school year. We had an area coach replace a pretty successful one this season and I left the preseason interview thinking this coach was awfully arrogant about the team and his or her ability to just pick up where the last one left off. Needless to say, this coach and his or her team did not measure up to the previous success. Not even close in fact.
That's arrogance.
Confidence is saying the opposition is going to need to score 20 runs to beat you because you know what bats you have in your lineup.
But confidence can go another way too.
Like confidence in the opposition. Case in point was back in April when New Riegel lost to Mohawk in a Midland Athletic League contest. Despite there being half the season left, Lininger congratulated Mohawk on winning the league title.
I asked Lininger about that quote Friday night. His answer spoke of the confidence he had in Mohawk coach Jenny Weinandy and her club.
"No one else in the league was going to beat Mohawk," Lininger said. "They were too good."
And how many times over the last 15 years has an opposing coach thought that to themselves after losing an important MAL game to Weinandy's Mohawk softball team. Probably dozens, but few ever verbalized it.
There are some who probably are glad Weinandy announced her retirement this week after 15 seasons, and maybe for good reason.
The coach compiled a 306-85 record, nine MAL titles, seven district titles, two regional crowns and two state championships (2003 and 2005). That's a lot of beatings and many by sizeable margins.
But more than the records and the wins, Lininger said Weinandy is a better human being.
"She's such a good person and she puts up with a lot of crap. She doesn't deserve it at all," Lininger said. "She has two state championships and is just a genuine person."
While some may be glad she's done, Lininger is not one of them.
"It's been quite the rivalry, but I have a lot of respect for her," Lininger said. "I don't know if you can call them competitions because they beat us so many times. I think we only beat her four times and once in 11 years in the league. She always had such great teams and they're always so well coached. I have a lot of respect for her and I'm going to miss coaching against her."
Weinandy also was a confident coach. When you have the track record she did, it was for good reason. But it also was a case of knowing her players and how to get the absolute best out of them.
"What I liked about her was she's always very good at knowing strengths and weaknesses. I think especially for the state team (in 2003) we were lucky to have a person in each position that was good and she capitalized on that," said 2004 grad Aubrey Walton, who still is third all-time in state history for consecutive wins with 43. "She knew players' strengths and weaknesses and that helped her excel as far as she did."
That's exactly what Weinandy loved about coaching.
"I'm going to miss putting together a team that works together, the chemistry of the players, the talent of the players. I miss putting all that together and seeing what we can do, especially come tournament time," Weinandy said. "I've been fortunate to have athletic players. The work they put into it, their drive at practice. I'm going to miss that."
She said seeing the players celebrate after a win, seeing the fruits of the labor in practice, was a real joy.
One of her current players said what made her a great coach was her ability to relate.
"Jenny is the only woman coach we've had and she knows the emotions we go through and she knows the ups and downs that go throughout softball," Kasey Adelsperger said. "I think she's a good communicator with us and she really knows how to get our heads in the game and how to visualize every play out there. She really does well with that."
Weinandy loved what she did in the dugout. That passion was evident in her games and in her postgame speeches to the team. And she loved her teams.
"I guess having 300 wins would be my most proud accomplishment. The 300 wins it wrapped up because it's not just one team," Weinandy said. "It's a compiling of my whole career and all the teams and all the players I was able to coach."
And clearly her teams loved her. Walton, who lives and works in Los Angeles now, gets back to Sycamore three times a year and last week was throwing batting practice to the Warriors.
At a Mohawk softball game, the stands are littered with not only Mohawk parents but former players.
It was one of those former players, Jen (Lonsway) Jacoby, who consoled Weinandy after the team was upset Wednesday in the district semifinals by New London.
"Coach, it's not how hard you fall but how fast you get back up that defines a person," Jacoby told her, according to Weinandy.
It sounds like something she may have told her team over the years after a disappointing season-ending loss.
Walton said the program owes a great deal of gratitude to Weinandy.
"It's been 15 years and that's a long time to dedicate to one thing," Walton said. "I'm sad to see her hang it up. She made the program what it is today."
So if over the years you found Weinandy cocky or arrogant by what her teams did or what she said, I'd beg to differ.
Her resume spoke for itself: 300-plus wins and two state titles.
Her team spoke for her on the field, winning nine league titles and seven district crowns.
When you're good, it's not arrogance. It's confidence.
Just like I'm confident in saying Mohawk is losing a Hall of Famer in Weinandy.
