U.S. Supreme Court To Hear Challenge To Voting Rights Act
A.G. Schneiderman Leads Multi-State Coalition Defending Voting Rights Act Against Constitutional Challenge
New York, California, Mississippi And North Carolina Argue Law Provides Important Protections For Minority Voters And That Compliance Poses No Undue Burden Or Cost On States
Schneiderman: My Office Will Always Stand Up To Protect And Enforce One Of Our Nation's Most Important Federal Civil Rights Laws
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in a case challenging the constitutionality of a core provision of the Voting Rights Act. In a friend-of-the-court brief, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman led a four-state coalition to argue that the Court should reject the constitutional challenge to the law given the important role that the Voting Rights Act plays in blocking and deterring voting discrimination. The brief was filed jointly with California, Mississippi and North Carolina in the case of Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder.
The constitutional challenge brought by Shelby County, Alabama takes aim at the Section 5 preclearance provision of the Voting Rights Act. The preclearance provision requires certain jurisdictions, including several covered counties in New York, to submit new voting changes for federal review to ensure that they were not adopted with a discriminatory purpose, and will not negatively impact minority voter participation.
"The Voting Rights Act stands as one of Congress's greatest legislative achievements and its protections remain vital to ensuring that all voters have equal access to the democratic process," Attorney General Schneiderman said. "The preclearance provision of the Voting Rights Act helps eliminate discriminatory voting laws and practices before they can take root. Most importantly, the benefits afforded by the law far outweigh the minimal burden on covered jurisdictions. While we have seen progress, the protections afforded by the Voting Rights Act clearly remain necessary in the states where the law applies, including New York."
Shelby County argues that Section 5 is no longer required and claims that Congress exceeded its powers when it reauthorized the law in 2006. Shelby County also argues that the law is intrusive on states and argues that its protections are no longer necessary in the 16 states where the law applies. Attorney General Schneiderman, along with Mississippi, North Carolina and California, provide a stark contrast to Shelby County's contentions, asserting that Section 5 is an appropriate exercise of Congressional power and a carefully tailored tool that applies in those parts of the country where the law's protections remain most necessary. In addition, the brief presents the important practical perspective and experience of the covered jurisdictions subject to Section 5 and notes that compliance with the law has historically and continues to pose little burden or cost on the states.
According to the brief, "The Section 5 preclearance process has helped bring about tremendous progress in the covered jurisdictions and continues to be a vital mechanism to assist Amici States in working to achieve the equality in opportunities for political participation that is a foundational principle of our democracy."
In 2006, Congress conducted extensive hearings to determine whether the law's requirements remained necessary, compiled a record of ongoing discrimination throughout the covered jurisdictions and voted overwhelmingly by a margin of 98-0 in the Senate to renew the law. The preclearance provision applies to Kings, Bronx and New York Counties and has provided important protections for minority voters in New York State. The law also applies to the State of Mississippi, and parts of both North Carolina and California, among other states.
The case was handled by Special Counsel to the Solicitor General Steven Wu, Deputy Solicitor General Cecelia Chang and Solicitor General Barbara D. Underwood.
A copy of the states' brief is available online at: www.ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/press-releases/2013/VRA%20Amicus%20Brief%202%201%2013.pdf

Hi Ladies,
Still can't believe I'm nursing a toddler, never dreamed I would go this long with all the probs we had in the beginning! Anyway, I still have random questions...I think I stress more now than I did in the beginning! Hoping you can shed some light and insight on how to continue nursing my 1 year old.
How does your toddler tell you when they want to nurse? Or is it more scheduled? DD was pretty predictable for awhile...she would nurse upon waking; before naptime; after naptime; and bedtime. Now, she's so active and dropped a few sessions...so in order to keep offering, I'm trying to read her cues. When I offer and she's not ready, she bites me and jumps off my lap. I've been trying to teach her the sign for "milk" for awhile, but no luck just yet. How do you know when your LO is ready for some milk?? I feel silly asking this
...also...from what I read, many of your toddlers are nursing 8+ times a day...what is considered a "nursing session" at this age anyway? Does your LO take both breasts each time? For how long? Or nibbles here and there? Just curious, thanks again!!!

The Phillies dropped their final home game of the season, losing 7-3 to the Washington Nationals on Fan Appreciation Night. If the St. Louis Cardinals win tonight, the Phillies will officially be eliminated from Wild Card contention.
-Thursday was Cloyd's worst outing of his young career. The rookie lasted five innings, surrendering six earned runs. He was tagged with his second loss of the season.
-Cloyd allowed three home runs: a first inning Bryce Harper solo shot, and two Michael Morse home runs. Morse finished the night with four runs batted in.
-Darin Ruf had another great game, going 2-for-4 with three runs batted in.
-Ruf got the Phillies on the board early. In the first inning, the Phillies loaded the bases with two outs. Ruf doubled to center field, clearing the bases. The three runs that Ruf drove in on the play would be the only runs that the Phillies scored all night.
– Jeremy Horst, who has been terrific all year, had some trouble in the seventh inning. He gave up a single and two walks to load the bases with no outs. He proceeded to throw a wild pitch, which gave the Nationals a run. Horst went 1.2 innings, allowing the run.
-Phillippe Aumont and Jake Diekman each pitched scoreless frames.

Another crappy game to end this crappy season. Phils had Gio on the ropes early. Bases loaded in the first inning, men on base in the second and third – Gio was throwing a ton of pitches I think his pitch count was in the 60's in the third inning but they calmed down. 3 up and 3 down again and again and again.. And, Cholly must have been sleeping. Why did he leave the kid Cloyd in so long? The HR that Morse hit was a blast, a serious shot.
Fitting end to a very bad season. Good night Irene
So what if next year's team looked like:
Howard, Utley, Rollins, Frandzen, Ruf, Bourn,Brown, Ruiz.
Would that be competitive?
They should want no part of Bourn. It's a bad contract just waiting to happen. Let someone else overpay for his services. Hopefully, if RAJ has learned anything this season, it would be to avoid running the Phillies like a fantasy baseball team.
Totally agree on Bourn. He strikes out too much, and his numbers have declined in the second half. He'd be an expensive gamble given his age.
But as far as running the Phils like a fantasy team, I have to disagree. If the owners are willing to spend the money, why not? The reason for this year's decline was not the big contracts, it was the injuries. Even youthful players on budget contracts suffer injuries, and many of the Phils' injured players ('pen pieces, Galvis, Martinez, Schnieder, Nix) were young, cheap, or both. And now that dud players like Pence and Qualls, and lame ducks like Vic and Blanton have been traded, there's once again a little bit of money in the till.
I'd be fine with Amaro signing an expensive center fielder; I just don't think it should be Bourn.
Bourn turns 30 in December, but I think he still has several productive years ahead of him. His strikeouts don't bother me. Generally speaking, "an out is an out", since the few times that strikeouts fail to move a runner are compensated for by the fact they are not double plays.
With all that said, I agree that there is a very good chance that some team is going to pay even more than what he's worth, and I'd rather that team not be the Phillies. It wouldn't be the worst deal in the world, because again, I think Bourn has proven for 4 straight years now that he's a very productive player, it just may not be the best deal they are likely to find on the FA market. Pagan or Victorino for example might provide better value for the money.
@Teejvee, yes- looks competitive to me.
We just need another bullpen arm, not named Qualls
Game plan for Ruf:
First of all, we are working on what is admittedly a ridiculously small sample size. Nevertheless, there are early indications that the dude can really, really hit. In which case …
Two years trying him in LF – platooning, on/off the bench, full-time starter – whatever. If he can handle the position, he becomes a fixture there.
If not, in '15 he becomes 1B – with all that that implies about the current incumbent.
I have been impressed with Frandzen, the guy can hit, maybe not a lot of power but I really think he can be a .300 hitter and he hits to all fields also. Also with Ruf, good plate discipline and seems like he has a pretty good baseball IQ. I have asked this question before and assuming that Frandzen can hit 290-310 and Utley and Rollins can hit 270 can the phillies be competitive with a streaky can not hit righties centerfielder that hits 250 with 18 HRs and 60 RBIs in JMJ?, and a guy like Ruf who maybe hits 250 with 25 HRs and 80 RBIs(is that too much to ask from a rookie kid playing a new position in RF) AFW withstanding you know Ryan is going to drive in Runs at 120+ pace with 30 HR. And how many on here really feel that Chase is a viable option at 3rd with Freddie coming back and playing second and batting 230?
I really think we are going to see a huge bounce back season for Doc and Cliff next year, both these guys are competitive beyond belief and will work on whatever they need to this off season and come back next year with a huge chip on their shoulders to carry this team.
The thing I do not think worked for them in the Cloyd guy, I think he still needs to do some work, One more thing is the pen, which I have been saying all along is a year to year crap shot, I would like to think that Aumont and Bastardo will be good next year, along with DeFentes, but I do think they need a veterens pressence out there, and think a Chad Durbin type guy is needed.
Right, let Frandsen play himself out of the position. So far, he has shown he deserves the 3rd base spot. We have other positions to be concerned about.
I would not go so far as to project Ruf's season (we did that with Downtown Brown, remember?).
Phils still dont look too bad if Ryan has not gotten too old, Chase can show some semblance of his old self and Jimmy can snap to his .270 average – I like the optimism Beta, I'm with you there.
You did not mention the return of Stutes and a healthy Worley. If the pitching can return as well, the Phils will contend again. I dont think its over – well, this year maybe.
brooks, with a due respect, Utley and Rollins are already at the top of their positions. All we need from them in 2013 is to stay healthy for most of the year, and not decline too much due to being a year older.
Statman, you misread me probably because I was not clear – I too believe that if the Phils stay healthy and can produce close to what we have seen from them in the past – they have a really good chance.
If – again.
BTW – I would not go so far as to say Rollins was at the top of his game this year. His power numbers, defense and speed yes but his batting average? This is the first full season since 2002 that he will finish under .250.
I will say that for the time we saw Utley this year, it was terrific. It makes me wan to see him out there every day.
I didn't mean that Rollins was the best he's ever been or could possibly be, but that he was one of the best in the game at his position. And at 33, that's all I really was hoping for.
Brooks, in the future you might want to try avoiding using batting average to evaluate players; use on base percentage as a substitute. It tells you more about how good the player is at getting on base (because it also includes things like walks/HBP/etc), and since the point of an AB is to not make an out, the players who make outs at the lowest rate will have the highest OBP, although not necessarily the higher batting average.
Chase Utley, for example, has a .261 batting average, but a .372 OBP
Juan Pierre has a .313 batting average, but his on base % is only .355
So in any given AB, Chase is more likely to end up on the bases, even though his batting average is 52 points lower than Pierre's.
(Or to use a more extreme example, Dan Uggla's OBP is .346. His batting average is .216 – he gets on base at almost the same rate as Pierre despite having a batting average nearly 100 points lower)
That being said, Rollins' current OBP at .311 is the 2nd lowest of his career.
Another Nutjob Quote (lol!):"Ask yourselves if you are willnig to sit idly by, never questioning your own smugness, while this leviathan government slowly pulls the rug out from underneath *you* The People. When you wake up in this once-great country wondering how it became a banana republic, I hope your silly Leftwing propaganda, name-calling, and nutjob quotes will be of some comfort." -Dawn McShuler (2009)"I believe we are slowly turning into a socialist government. The government is continually growing bigger and more powerful and the people need to prepare to defend themselves against government control." -Timothy McVeigh (1993)btw: Dawn, I didn't call you crazy; I merely asked if you were.
Reasons to be optimistic: Darin Ruf looks like a slugger and I hope he can play left field. Dom Brown has shown some discipline at the plate and deserves more of a shot in 2013. Freddy Galvis was magic defensively in the first half of the year and should be at least the utility player of the Phils next year. Kevin Fransden has looked like a hitter and has played decent third base, plus he is still young.. Kratz looks like a very good backup catcher for 2013 with some serious power. Ryan Howard is still struggling but showed an excellent home run streak a week ago and has over 50 RBI's. Some of the young arms in the bullpen look to have some serious upside. Rollins has had a decent power year. Kendrick, despite a tough outing on Thrusday, looks like his changeup can indeed change him into a steady and solid starter. Utley is starting to look decent and everyone hopes he can put in a full year in 2013. Ruiz was fantistic and with some luck will stay healthy in 2013
Overall a nice summary.
"Utley is starting to look decent and everyone hopes he can put in a full year in 2013."
Three true statements about Utley:
1. He's not the player he used to be.
2. He's still one of the best, and arguably THE best second baseman in the game when he's on the field.
3. While it would be great to get a full season from him (140+ games), in a partial season he produces more value than the vast majority of MLB second basemen would in a full season.
I see his hiney so black and shiney it makes me giggle to see it wiggle.
Without any additions they are an average team. They need some help don't really know how Rubin is going to get them back in the chase. I really hope he can. Go Phils!
I agree. There have to be additions. Its good to be optomistic but everything has to go right. I hope I am wrong but its really possible that doc has a very tired arm and next year will be no different than this year. How many 37 year old power pitchers quickly decline. Its also possible that cliff lee is on the back side of his prime. This is still a really good team but a team getting older. They have had a lot of bad luck this year with injuries which probably will not happen next year. Lets hope we can win a championship for doc and cliff next year.
To be fair, Roy Halladay really wasn't a power pitcher until he came to Philadelphia where, at age 34, he posted the highest K/9 numbers of his career in 2011 (his 2010 K/9 was third, behind his age 24 season). During his prime (age 25-30) he only struck out ~6 batters per nine innings. He pitched a combined 445 innings over 2006-2007 and only struck out 271 batters.
The loss of velocity is alarming, but to expect him to fall off precipitously is probably not likely because he's always been a control/finesse/ground-ball pitcher.
Despite Halladay's and Howard's struggles, they've played at a 96-win pace since the all-star break. Sounds like a contender to me.
I don't think Pence is a bad player, it's just that I don't think he's worth Brown even in a shraigtt up trade 1 for 1. Brown is a lot younger and cheaper, and should be a significantly better than Pence as soon as a year or 2 from now. Giving up Brown for Pence would be a huge mistake, and it wouldn't take the Phillies long to regret it either.
The Phils will probably have to "make do" at third, as there's not much available, but they will have to do something about the outfield. Ruf looks like a hitter so far, but he's only started against left handed pitching, and has little experience in left field. Mayberry can't hit righties, Schierholtz looks like a 4th outfielder, and Brown hasn't shown that he's a lock in right. Pierre may be gone and Nix is not a regular. A team can generally get by with one platoon but I don't think three platoons is the way to go. For one thing, it would eat up roster space. At least there are some decent free agents, and maybe even a trade candidate or two.
I really don't see many issues with the rest of the team. Last season, 102 wins were obtained with basically no production at third, and no production at second for the first several weeks, and J.C. Romero doing a Chad Qualls impersonation in the bullpen early on.
You know what, I have to admit that I don't like the big name 2013 Outfield FA's all that much.
I like Nick Swisher, but it's reported he wants a "Jayson Werth like" contract. Heck if they're going to give someone a contract like that, why didn't they just give it to Jayson? Both are too much for the production value.
BJ Upton- meh, might as well bring Vic back for that production.
I don't care for Bourn that much, with the exception of RBI and and being a good fielder, his stats look a lot like Juan Pierre's 🙂 Kidding obviously he's way better than Juan, but the stats are eerily similar. I don't what he's asking, but I'd imagine this being his big chance, it won't be economical.
So who else is out there?
I'd really like it if we could make a splashy trade for Headly or Beltre, and then just go with Ruf, Brown, and a Mayberry platoon (with anyone not named Martinez) in the outfield.
But please don't ask me who we'd trade, or how we'd pry those guys away from their teams, I don't know, I'm just dreaming I guess.
Melky Cabrera is very likely to be available and will probably come at a pretty steep discount, at least compared to what he would have commanded had the season ended two months ago.
Swisher is probably going to be expensive and doesn't help address the hole in CF.
Bourn will also probably be quite expensive, and because most of his value is tied to his speed, I have concerns about him on a longer-contract, which I'm sure Mr. Boras will demand.
Hamilton will be available, but again, he's going to be very expensive, is on the wrong side of 30 and is injury prone.
Cody Ross will be available, but he's just a rich-man's John Mayberry; Angel Pagan will also probably be available and will perhaps come cheap, at least compared to most of the marquee names.
Tori Hunter, at age 37, is quietly having another very good season, and he too might be available on a cheap(er), short-term deal.
Upton, I think, is sort of like a younger Victorino, but who doesn't get on base quite as often as Victorino does and strikes out a lot. He's really weird. In 2007/2008 he got on base at a .380ish clip, and walked a lot. This year he walks very infrequently and his OBP has fallen below .300. Maybe that helps keep his potential salary down? Maybe not though.
And finally, there's Victorino, who may well come at a pretty big discount because of the bad season he's having, at least compared to his previous production. Couple that with a potential "hometown" discount, and I think Amaro probably pick up Melky Cabrera AND Shane and still stay reasonably close to being under the luxury tax threshold.
Not bad. I'm old school and really hate that Melky's performance was enhanced. I realize that there are probably many more we don't know about, I just- I don't know, he got caught.
I hate Cody Ross, no explanation needed.
Pagan is intriguing.
Torii ( 2 i's, don't ask me why) Hunter had a very LOUD, and very good season for my fantasy team this year. 5.1 WAR is nothing to sneeze at. But did it help him getting to hit between two of the best players in the game, Trout and Pujols? Cost and age might make me shy away.
Hamilton is interesting, I think he will be displeased by the offers he gets by leery teams, and likely go back to Texas.
I'm not a huge Fransden fan although if it worked out, it would be economical. I don't believe he can keep his BABIP up, his defense is so so, and he's neither a power hitter or a speedster. I really want them to go after a 3B even though Ruben says he's not. Vic and a trade for Beltre would do. I know, I know, it's crazy- but Texas has to bring up Olt, and they don't seem to want to trade him.
Armchair GM's, don't you just love them? i just hope whatever they do will work.
Personally, I think I'm okay with Frandsen at third with maybe a LH bench guy platoon or the occasional use of Galvis there as a stopgap for this season, provided they upgrade the outfield a bit. Frandsen won't be a .300 hitter over the course of a whole season, but I think he can probably provide something like a .265/.305/.350 in regular playing time. That's far better offensively than Galvis or Martinez is going to give you offensively, and similar to what Polanco's provided over the last few years (albeit with stellar defense, which Frandsen won't provide)
I'm just concerned about the cost of acquiring a 3B, when there look to be some intriguing prospects on the horizon. Cody Asche is probably one good year at AAA away from being a top-level 3B prospect. I'm okay with a stop-gap year of Frandsen+ to see what we have there, and am a little hesitant to part with a lot of young talent to bring in a guy like Beltre or Headley, both of whom are going to be much more expensive (both in terms of prospects and salary commitment) than going with what is currently available and looking to improve the OF.
While Torii's does play in a stacked lineup, his numbers aren't much different than what he's put up over the last few years, and really even in his prime – only his speed and power have declined a bit, but he still gets on base a lot and is one of the better options out there. I tend to think that his age is one of the reasons why he'll be one of the cheaper options for CF this year (plus, it doesn't hurt that there's a glut of CF hitting the market this season). If I had to order the OF crop this year in terms of value per dollar spent, I'd probably say it ends up being : Melky, Victorino, Upton, Hunter, Pagan, Hamilton, Ross, Swisher, Bourn. That's not to say those guys at the bottom of that list won't produce, I just think they'll end up being the most overpaid for what they bring to the table.
As for Melky, well, if he has a post-steroid year like Ryan Braun's post-steroid year I'd certainly want to it to be for the Phils, and I do think the PED stigma is going to drastically suppress his cost.
Lefty- I agree with your splashy trade approach. I think the only tradeable commodity is Halladay., but I'm not even sure you could get much for him.
Ryan Howard's season is over. Broken toe.
Should have sourced that. -Gelb
at this point I can't do anything other than just laugh.
Well, then laugh some more-
Tyler Cloyd's season is over, too. Tired arm. No starter yet for Tuesday. "Maybe it'll be a position player," Rich Dubee quipped. Gelb
Was that hearty and loud enough??
Eh, no big loss. Cloyd hasn't exactly lit the world on fire his last few outings anyway

REFUGIO – A Victoria man's death was ruled a suicide from a preliminary autopsy performed in Lockhart, according to Refugio Police Chief Andy Lopez Jr. on Friday, June 28.
Dennis Fred Heinold, 61, had parked his Dodge SUV in the 100 block of Dunbar Street, locked it, purchased a 12 gauge shotgun at a local gun store nearby, walked out behind his vehicle and used the gun to kill himself on Wednesday, June 26.
A resident along the street reported the shooting at 11:55 a.m.
Justice of the Peace Lorraine Lopez pronounced Heinold dead at the scene and ordered the autopsy.
Heinold was a longtime probation officer in DeWiitt County until 2005 when he resigned after 19 years. He then began doing juvenile probation programs in Calhoun County followed by Refugio County, according to Kate Jones, chief juvenile probation officer in Refugio County.
That death is still being investigated, Lopez said.
An earlier death, considered to be unrelated to the first death, in Woodsboro was reported about 3 a.m. But according to Lt. Martin De Leon, the death probably happened three to four hours earlier late Tuesday night.
Paul Lopez, 43, was found covered in blood in his Woodsboro residence back yard in the 700 block of Borden Road, according to a Refugio County Sheriff's Office press release.
The press release also stated, "It appeared that the deceased had been shot."
Details of that death are sketchy, but Refugio County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Sheldon Wigniton said a coroner's report was prepared, but the details of the preliminary autopsy report were not available, and the death is under investigation.
No weapon was found at the scene, but some .22 casings were found, De Leon said. However, he added that Lopez was known to target practice back behind his house.
"It is strange we did not find any weapons," De Leon said. The body was not touched so the coroner could accurately determine the cause of death.
Justice of the Peace Emi Riemenschneider was at the scene, and pronounced Lopez dead and ordered the autopsy.
More details will be released as they are found out. In the meantime, sheriff's deputies are investigating leads.
Sheriff Robert Bolcik requested that anyone having any information about the case should contact Lt. De Leon or Sgt. Glen Grasham at 361-526-2351.
Wigninton said the sheriff's units seen in Bayside on Wednesday answered a call that was a non-related item dealing with a domestic dispute.
"Right now, we don't have anything to say the two incidents are connected," Refugio Police Chief Lopez said.
Both deaths remain under investigation, and more details will be posted later.

Obamacare, the Oregon Experiment, and Medicaid
Tomorrow, as mandated by the Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act (PPACA, often called just the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, or "Obamacare"), the government-maintained health insurance exchanges will open for business (that is, assuming the likely government shutdown doesn't stop them temporarily). We here at SBM have written about the ACA quite a few times, but I would like to write about it in perhaps an entirely different context than you're used to now that the biggest change mandated by the law is here. Just to see the contrast, I'll mention that Jann Bellamy has written about the ACA in the context of how provisions have been inserted by promoters of "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) could potentially provide an "in" for requiring reimbursement of CAM practitioners for their services by insurance plans sold through the exchanges or even how CAM practitioners might promote themselves as primary care providers (PCPs) under Obamacare, as did Matt Roman. I myself warned about legislative meddling that might permit funding of religion-based health care in the exchanges, and Kimball Atwood sounded early warnings about insertion of the provisions that Jann warned about. Instead, view this discussion as a follow-up to a post I did almost a year ago that used a statement by Mitt Romney during the height of the Presidential campaign as a jumping off point to look at the relationship between health insurance status and mortality. While we at SBM try to remain more or less apolitical, in some cases (licensing of naturopaths, for example) it is not possible to disentangle science from politics, and we have to dive in. Also, politics is the art of the possible; so, policy-wise, what is best as determined by science might well not be what is possible politically.
The reason I wanted to revisit this topic is because of a political battle that went on for quite some time over the last several months to expand Medicaid in Michigan according to the dictates of the ACA. The reason that this battle is occurring in many states is because when the Supreme Court ruled last year that the individual mandate requiring that citizens have health insurance was Constitutional, one provision that it ruled unconstitutional was the mandatory expansion of Medicaid in states participating in the Medicaid program to cover all people under 65 up to 133% of the federal poverty level. States thus had to decide whether or not they would accept the Medicaid expansion. In our state, Governor Rick Snyder supported the expansion. Even though he is Republican, he is also a businessman and realized that it was a good deal, with the federal government covering 100% of the cost for the first three years and then phase down to 90% of the cost in 2020. The bill to expand Medicaid managed to pass the House of Representatives, but then it stalled in the Senate. Unfortunately—and this is what got me involved—my state Senator Patrick Colbeck led the opposition to the Medicaid expansion in the Senate, much to my chagrin and disappointment. His argument, which is being repeated elsewhere in the blogosphere, is that Medicaid is worthless and doesn't improve health outcomes. Instead, he endorsed an alternative that (or so he claimed) places Medicaid-eligible patients into in essence low cost, high deductible concierge practices, with health savings accounts. This was a plan promoted by practices like BlueSky Health. Ultimately Mr. Colbeck lost, and Medicaid was expanded in Michigan in a plan that was characterized by John Z. Ayanian in this week's New England Journal of Medicine as "a pragmatic pathway to link Republican and Democratic priorities for health care."
However, the whole kerfuffle got me to thinking. In my post a year ago, I basically asked what the evidence was that access to health insurance improves health outcomes, but I didn't really stratify the question into kinds of health insurance. Rather, I just looked at being uninsured versus having health insurance. After my little Facebook encounter with one of my elected representatives, I wondered what, exactly, was the state of evidence. So I decided to do this post. In the U.S., currently we have in essence three kinds of health insurance, broadly speaking: private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Medicare, for those of our readers from other countries, is a plan that covers the medical care of people 65 and over and those receiving Social Security disability benefits. It is funded through payroll taxes and directly paid for by the federal government. Medicaid, in contrast, is a plan designed for low income people who fall below certain income levels. Also in contrast, it is jointly funded by the states and the federal government with each participating state administering the plan and having wide leeway to decide eligibility requirements within the limits of federal regulations that determine the minimal standards necessary for states to receive matching funds. Indeed, the loss of this leeway to determine the income level at which a person is eligible for Medicaid is one of the reasons the provision for Medicaid expansion was part of the Supreme Court challenge to the ACA. These days, most Medicaid plans hire private health maintenance organizations (HMOs) to provide insurance. Finally, what needs to be understood is that, compared to private insurance, Medicare reimbursement rates tend to be lower and Medicaid reimbursement rates are lower still, which is part of the reason why a lot of doctors don't accept Medicaid. Increases in reimbursement under the ACA might well help this situation. (more…)

Articles 2
As we know, madrasahs are one of Islamic societies' oldest education-teaching institutions. Before madrasahs, education and teaching activities in the Islamic world were carried out in places of such varying names and characters as masjids, mosques, scholars' homes, palaces and bookshops. Since mosques and masjids in particular were used for instruction in the essentials of religion, they were also employed for education and teaching purposes.
According to Islamic history, following the first revelation to our Prophet (saas), the first Muslims who converted to Islam secretly assembled in the house of al-Arqam, one of the companions of the Prophet, where they were instructed and taught by our Prophet (saas). It is said that this is how the school and madrasah were born in Islam. The Dar-al-Arqam (House of Arqam), known as the first madrasah in Islam, is still preserved in memory of those days. With the founding of the Islamic State in Medina by our Prophet (saas) following the Hegira, the Masjid Nabawi constructed there became a centre of Islamic education and teaching. Muslims would gather there, study the Qur'an and Islam and improve themselves. The gradual increase in need caused our Prophet (saas) to found other education centres in different parts of the city. Madrasah education continued in the same way during the period of the four caliphs.
Not only religious knowledge was taught in the madrasahs; sciences of the time, such as astronomy, mathematics, geometry and medicine were also given an important place. Later still, courses in Western languages, Persian, history, geography, astronomy, mechanics, trigonometry, chemistry, painting, physical training, hygiene, social sciences, philosophy, economics and finance were added to the curriculum. These institutions continued to be known as "medreses" during the time of the Turks.
The Nizamiyah madrasahs opened by Sultan Alparslan's vizier Nizam al-Mulk during the Great Seljuk Empire and named after him are very well known. Following this new line adopted by the Seljuk Empire, there was a rush to open madrasahs just about everywhere in the Islamic world.
In the 13th and 14th centuries, centres such as Cairo, Damascus, Basra and Bukhara, and particularly the Transoxania region, became the most important powers in the development of Ottoman institutions of learning under the influence of the madrasahs they possessed. Their instruction was very definitely one of the major factors in the success of the Ottoman Empire, one of the greatest empires in the world and which survived for six centuries.
Recite: In the Name of your Lord Who created; created man from clots of blood. Recite: And your Lord is the Most Generous, He Who taught by the pen, taught man what he did not know.
(Qur'an, 96:1-5)
A Muslim needs to know the Qur'an in order to correctly understand and interpret the world, human beings, natural events and everything in the universe. Knowing for what purpose Allah created the universe, human beings and all other living things is of the greatest importance from the point of view of appreciating Him properly. Engaging in activities based solely on artificial knowledge, without a knowledge of the Qur'an and without considering the hidden aspects of events, cannot lead to productive results. In the Qur'an, Allah summons humanity to investigate and reflect upon the heavens, the earth, mountains, stars, plants, seeds, animals, the alternation of the night and the day, the creation of man, the rain and many other created things. Examining these, man comes to recognize the artistry of Allah's creation in the world around him, and ultimately, to know our Creator, Who created the entire universe and everything in it from nothing.
"Science" offers a method by which the universe, and all the beings therein, may be examined to discover the artistry in Allah's creation, thereby communicating it to mankind. Religion, therefore, encourages science, adopting it as a tool by which to study the subtleties of Allah's creation.
Religion not only encourages scientific study, but also permits that, supported by the truths revealed through religion, scientific research be conclusive and expeditious. The reason being, that religion is the only source to provide accurate and definitive answers as to how life and the universe came into being. As such, if initiated upon a proper foundation, research will reveal the truths regarding the origin of the universe and the organization of life, in the shortest time, and with minimum effort and energy. Science can only achieve true results if it adopts the aim of studying the infinite might of Allah and the proofs of creation in the universe, and if it pursues its activities solely in that light. Only if science is properly directed, if it is kept on a correct course in other words, can it become a vehicle whereby mankind achieves useful information and progress. As stated by Albert Einstein, considered one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, "science without religion is lame", which is to say, that science, unguided by religion, cannot proceed correctly, but rather, wastes much time in achieving certain results, and worse, is often inconclusive.
In the event that the purpose behind the creation of man, the transitory nature of this world, the fact that what matters is the life of the hereafter, death, the certain existence of destiny and the hereafter, the fact that every individual will have to account for his deeds, and the existence of heaven and hell are all fully known, then this will shape the individual's way of looking at events, his way of living and his reactions to the events he encounters. If these truths are not known, then even if a person receives the very best education in the very best schools and/or participates in academic studies at the very highest level, that education will still not be enough. That is because the important thing is for the individual to have a lifestyle and moral values which are pleasing to Allah.
This world is very transitory and is created as a place of testing. The individual is tested here, and will receive a recompense in the hereafter based on the moral values and behaviour he displayed in the life of this world. This is an unavoidable fact for all people. For that reason, as well as receiving a modern scientific education the individual should also be immersed in religious matters. That is because someone who has adopted the moral values of the Qur'an and comprehended the religion will use this knowledge and technology he has learnt in the manner most pleasing to Allah, and thus for the benefit of mankind.
Religious instruction imparted from an early age will enable that individual to have a strong character and to have pleasing moral values and a healthy way of looking at the world.

If a player Iso's once...he's doing his thing, if a player Iso's 6 straight times, somewhere...there's a coach not coaching.
If a player Iso's once...he's doing his thing, if a player Iso's 6 straight times, somewhere...there's a coach not coaching.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
How come Jerome Jordan can't get a couple mins? Why would you bring in Lin as the first guard off the bench, watch him penetrate and make things happen....then go to Toney ****ing Douglas as the first guard in the second half?
The thought process is that of a lobotomized druid.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Another example where our offensive genius of a coach is exposed. His clibpoard fails again. Sometimes a coach need to devise a good play, right. down 2. plenty of time. his idea is to take the 12th man in his rotation, run him all the way out 35 ft from hoop, spin and hurl a 3 bomb? Remember what karl did... a good coach... where he drew up that perfect alley oop to hoop. i mean, when was last time coach mike drew us up a play to get somebody a good look. i pray i wake up tomorrow and he's fired. i'm done following this ****ty team until he's gone.
Does Tina Cervacio watch the games because she asks some dumb questions. "what were the celtics doing to stop you in the 4th qtr?" Melo: they were triple teaming me. (duh)
Real Talk
Lin is playing solid for us....next half he puts Douglas in
We're moving the ball he's got Melo working the PnR so teams can double him......he puts him in iso's so teams can easily double team him.
The game is close towards the end we're already losing.....he gets a tech giving them another point.
down 1 16 seconds left he goes to Melo at 14 instead of at 7 allowing the opponent to double team and get the ball out of his hands. Going to him later forcing the opponent to stay at home and give him a one on one opportunity
He knew what he was doing

What's So Good About Good Friday?
I hate Easter. The candy sucks. It's all about some dead guy. And the worst part is that it's on a Sunday so I don't even get a day off of work. At least Columbus and MLK get me a freebie.
As bad as Easter may be, Good Friday is even worse. Although the candy sucks on Easter, at least there is candy. What do you get for Good Friday? Nothing. There's still school, there's still work, there are no presents and if that wasn't bad enough, teams are forced to reshuffle their schedules. Why, just two short years ago the entire Detroit Tigers franchise almost got sentenced to an eternity in hell for playing their home opener on Good Friday.
Luckily 2011 is the year of revolt and I say we continue where the Egyptians and Tunisians left off. Leave work early, get drunk, hunt down the Easter bunny and make rabbit stew. This year, let's actually make it a Good Friday.

Allen – thanks. Now I have a running image of Bugs Bunny on the cross saying "What's up, Doc?" to Elmer Fudd as Pilate.
Besides, it's Earth Day, too!
– Randy
The kids have both Friday and Monday off of school, so they got that going for them…
You know, all of those "Cwazy Wabbitts" passages in the bible make so much more sense now…only when it's funny, eh?
Bravo, Mr. Krause, bravo!

Why this story got on 10 is amazing. It seems like someone in this town turned this in.
This was not any kind of major crime, maybe bad judgment, so who in this town made an overdone deal out of this and did a lot of personal damage to a hero.
When he played ball and made a name for this town, he was great. Now, what is all this about?
Really smells like bad politics. Why ruin a good student's life? Every one makes a mistake. His whole life could be ruined. What a town this is.

Here are some good articles about nighttime parenting and "crying-it-out".
Here are some good articles about nighttime parenting and "crying-it-out".
At six months I was nervous about leaving dd with others to put her to sleep, but my dh and I went on a date anyway and she slept for grandma. She DID NOT let grandma put her down. We are lucky to have my mom so close. My mother held her the whole time until I got home. After she turned one, we were able to set her down. Now she goes to sleep on her own many nights alone in a dark room with no crying. She's two and still nurses and I've done no sleep training besides a little bit of the pull-off technique talked about in The No Cry Sleep Solution - I haven't read much of that book but what I did read seemed like more work than I was willing to put into it. But it's probably the best most gentle sleep book out there. I felt much better about dd's sleeping back when she needed to nurse when I started telling people who'd ask, "how's she sleeping?" that "I'm well rested, so I guess she's sleeping well enough." Because I discovered that nursing her to sleep got the whole family more rest.
I think it's really important to stay true to what you feel is best for you and your family. "Other moms say nursing to sleep is bad" -- well, bad for whom? Basically it's nobody's business but yours and your baby's.
I also think that you don't need to say you'll do it just one way and stick with it. I felt guilty for a while for switching around with different techniques to get her to sleep; I thought I was "failing" to be consistent, and blamed myself for her waking up a lot and being a light sleeper. But maybe that's just the way she is. Now I figure I was just trying to find out what worked for all of us, and that was a good thing. You don't need to make yourself do anything that makes you uncomfortable, just because you said you would.
I mostly stopped nursing my daughter to sleep when she was about your baby's age, because I felt it was making her wake up more and more often in the night in order to nurse, and I was feeling crazy. But she still nurses to sleep occasionally; it's nice as a back-up plan, like when we're travelling and she's in an unfamiliar environment. We worked out some other techniques for getting her to sleep. Mostly now I just lie down on a bed next to her cot, holding her hand or stroking her back, sometimes some singing or story in a boring tone of voice. There was a time when rocking worked, but that won't do for an older child. Some people use pacifiers for going to sleep, though I think there are some health issues with that. The hard-core cry-it-out thing seems too cruel to me. Some people try a limited version of that, like leave for five minutes max. and then come back and comfort, repeat till baby is asleep. Or sit in the room but move your chair gradually towards the door. It can work for some babies, some adjust fast. But if anything you try seems like it's really traumatic for both of you, it isn't worth it.
For me it helped when my husband took over with putting the baby to sleep for a while. He developed his own way of doing it (special songs etc.), and it brought them closer together. She cried for me and wanted to nurse, especially in the beginning, but she always had somebody around who loved her. So if your husband is up for it -- or partner, mother, babysitter, whoever -- I think that's a positive way to help a baby learn alternative ways to sleep.
I want to thank you everyone. It has been a while and I am now getting him to sleep by himself. He only nurses once a day and he is happy when he falls asleep and wakes up. He is doing great!
My son always has nursed to sleep when I'm with him, but he spends a LOT of time with his dad, who is a stay-at-home dad! They had a different nap routine (and rarely nighttime) - I know that Dr. Sears was the main source of ideas and encouragement for my son's dad. Anyway, you might try having someone else put your baby down for the naps (or some of them, but regularly, so a routine can develop) as a way to make the transition smoother.

Soon after he graduated from Middlesex University in 1996 with a degree in Men's Fashion Design, Simon Spurr started at Yves Saint Laurent's menswear division, working closely with Hedi Slimane. In 2001, Spurr made the jump across the pond to New York to serve as menswear designer for cK Calvin Klein, and then moved to Ralph Lauren Purple Label and Ralph Lauren Black Label in 2003. Not a bad start, to say the very least. And those formative years helped shape Spurr's own aesthetic, which plays with modern shapes while retaining an abiding respect for the classics. No surprise, then, that when he launched his label SPURR in 2006, it was all about smart fits and sturdy denim. The line expanded to include a full sportswear offering in 2007, and in 2009, Spurr launched his eponymous designer collection, with tailored pieces and high-end offerings to compliment his contemporary label. But whether it's jeans or suiting, Spurr's signature styling is always there — slim, sleek, and sharp as hell.
