In the opening round of the World Challenge presented by Northwestern Mutual, Nick Watney leads at 5 under.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
LA QUINTA, Calif. -- One down, five to go.
Q-school is a marathon and not a sprint, but Steve LeBrun put himself in good shape with an opening-round 64 on the Stadium Course to take a one-shot lead after the first round at PGA West.
Only the top 25 (and ties) after six rounds will receive PGA TOUR cards for 2013 with the rest earning Web.com Tour status or conditional status on that tour.
On a pristine day in the desert, LeBrun was flawless, making eight birdies and no bogeys on the typically more difficult of the two courses.
LeBrun spent this past season on the Web.com Tour, where he had four top 10s and made 14 of 21 cuts. His best finish was a fourth-place at the Miccosukee Championship.
Among the four players tied for a second is Kris Blanks, who despite nagging injuries since mid-summer managed to be mistake-free.
Prior to the second stage of q-school, Blanks hadn't played competitively since the John Deere Classic in July because of a shoulder injury.
During that time, Blanks played only a half-dozen rounds and most of those were with buddies at his home course in Jupiter, Fla., where more beers were consumed than strokes counted.
At one point, Blanks' shoulder was so bad he could hit an 8-iron just 130 yards. He'd routinely play from the forward tees just to avoid being frustrated.
"I just didn't have the ability to swing with any amount of speed," said Blanks, who got three different opinions on his shoulder before visiting Dr. James Andrews, who prescribed a daily routine of rehab exercises. "If I did, it would hurt."
If there was an upside to being sidelined, it was that Blanks spent many of his waking hours working on his putting -- one of the weaker areas of his game -- on the synthetic green in his backyard.
"I couldn't beat balls and do the things I needed to do until I got things calmed down in my shoulder," Blanks said.
That extra time spent on his putting paid off in the opening round Wednesday with Blanks at one point making six birdies in an eight-hole stretch on the Stadium Course.
"It's definitely great to get a low round under your belt," he said. "It affords you the luxury of not having to be so precise the next five rounds."
That same luxury was also afforded to Robert Karlsson and Erik Compton, who are 6 and 5 under, respectively, after the first round.
"Sometimes in a TOUR event you're 10 back before you even tee off," Compton said. "Here, you have to get a piece of the pie every day."
Other notables in good shape after the first round include Vaughn Taylor, Joseph Bramlett and Daniel Chopra. All three are tied for 20th at 4 under.
Ross Fisher is among a large group another stroke back, while Camilo Villegas, Billy Horschel, Billy Hurley III, Heath Slocum, James Nitties and Rod Pampling are among those at 2 under.
In the opening round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic from Walt Disney World Resort, Charlie Wi leads at 8 under.
Following his opening-round 64 at the 2012 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, Charlie Wi meets with the media and talks about what got his round going.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Charlie Wi is in a familiar position: In the lead after the first round.
Wi shot an 8-under 64 Thursday on the Palm Course at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic. It is the eighth time in his career he has been atop the leaderboard after the opening day.
Whether he can stay there is another matter. The 40-year-old has yet to win in 183 starts on the PGA TOUR.
For now, though, Wi owns a one-shot lead over Tommy Gainey and Camilo Villegas. Gainey is trying to win for a second straight start, while Villegas is looking for his first win since 2010.
"The Palm Course is a course where you need to score," Wi said. "All the par 5s are reachable so I felt like I took advantage of them."
Specifically the seventh hole, where Wi sank an eagle putt from 15 feet. "When I made [that], I felt like I had something special going today," said Wi, who took just 22 putts Thursday.
Twice this year Wi has been similarly special. He opened with a 61 in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and a 66 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard. He finished second and 29th, respectively, in those events.
Thursday, Wi played the par 5s in 5 under. He also made eight birdies and an eagle, which included a chip-in on No. 9 to go out in 30 before closing out his round with back-to-back birdies.
Should Wi go on to win, he would move inside the top 30 on the money list, which would earn him a spot in next year's Masters.
"I wasn't showing up just to play," Wi said. "I wanted to finish strong."
That's been easier said than done. Wi ranks 157th and 146th, respectively, in third and fourth-round scoring average.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- There are more than spots in the top 125 on the money list on the line this week, at least for Brian Harman.
Harman entered the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic 85th in money. After a 66, however, he's projected to move up 20 spots, which would guarantee him a spot in all the invitationals next year.
The rookie out of the University of Georgia has had an impressive season so far -- he tied for fifth at The Barclays, 10th at the CIMB Classic, 11th at the AT&T National and posted back-to-back T-15s at the John Deere Classic and RBC Canadian Open in mid-summer.
"It's been the most fun year of my life," Harman said Thursday.
After five birdies, an eagle and no bogeys on the Palm Course in the opening round, next season could be even more fun.
Following his opening-round 67 at the 2012 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, Matt Every meets with the media and talks about not making any mistakes.
Following an opening-round 65, Camilo Villegas reflects on his play in the 2012 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic with Bob Stevens from SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- After a fast start to his career that included two wins in his first three years on the PGA TOUR, Camilo Villegas went the next four with just one victory.
Worse yet, he came into this week's season-ending Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic 150th on the money list -- he'd never finished lower than 77th -- and faced with the possibility that he could be without card for next season.
Thursday, though, he shot a 65 on the Palm Golf Course to share second with Tommy Gainey.
It's a major step in the right direction for Villegas, who over the last month has played some of his best golf of the season with three finishes in the top 30. Now, he's looking to take it a step further.
"I beat myself a little bit too much sometimes," Villegas said. "When you beat yourself a little bit too much, there's little things that make you miserable."
He had reason to be. After spending at one point more than 30 weeks in the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking, Villegas has plummeted to outside the top 200. And if he fails to finish in the top 150 on the money list, he'll have to go through the second stage of q-school -- rather than straight to the final stage if he finishes between 126th and 150th.
In a place that dubs itself the happiest place on earth, however, Villegas had plenty to smile about after his opening round. He made eight birdies, including four in a row at one point, and just one bogey after missing just three greens in regulation. He also putted better than he has most of the season with nine one-putts Thursday. For the year, Villegas ranks 156th in strokes gained-putting.
"I just kept reminding myself how good life is," said Villegas, who was well aware of his position on the money list coming into the week. "If you're good at this game, if you are out, you will be back in.
"There were a couple times where I just made certain decisions that I kind of knew I was wrong, and I was like, you know, what's going on. That's just not me. Again, why am I going to be miserable about certain little things? Because that's what happens when you're playing bad. The little things just get under your skin."
Now Villegas' biggest worry will be trying to hold onto the lead.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Just prior to The McGladrey Classic, Tommy Gainey switched irons, going from Callaway's Diablo forged irons to the company's Razr X. He also tweaked his driver.
Less than a week later, Gainey shot a final-round 60 to win at Sea Island.
Fast forward to this week's Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, and Gainey is in a familiar position: Atop the leaderboard.
Gainey shot a 65 Thursday to share second with Camilo Villegas.
Momentum? Maybe. But Gainey made it a point not to celebrate his first career win.
"It's all about winning again for me," said Gainey, who hit 10 fairways and 13 greens while taking just 24 putts. "You know, my goal has not been achieved yet. And that is to get to Augusta."
Even if Gainey goes on to win, however, he won't qualify for the Masters. He came into the week 56th on the money list. The highest he can move up is to 32nd -- only the top 30 at the end of this week qualify.
Still, Gainey of course wants to keep it going. He went 104 starts on the PGA TOUR without a win and now has a chance for his second straight victory.
And it all goes back to his accuracy off the tee, at least lately.
"I've never hit this many fairways in my life," Gainey said. "It's a lot easier when you're in the fairways than that rough."
Camilo Villegas makes a 16-foot putt for par on the par-4 17th hole.

3K Glossy: 3K is the most common carbon fiber that you will find externally on a bicycle. It provides a comfortable ride while still allowing the bike to be stiff and strong enough to handle a powerful rider in the midst of his/her best sprint. |
3K Matt: 3K is the most common carbon fiber that you will find externally on a bicycle. It provides a comfortable ride while still allowing the bike to be stiff and strong enough to handle a powerful rider in the midst of his/her best sprint. |
12K Glossy: 12K is the largest weave and the stiffest. This outer layer featured on the Fascenario 0.8 makes for the stiffest "feeling" ride of all three. It is slightly heavier and much less expensive to use in production, hence the price difference in the Fascenario 0.7 and the Fascenario 0.8 |
UD Matt: Uni-Directional (UD) carbon is another type of carbon fiber that can be used to create a carbon bicycle. UD carbon has fibers that run the same way rather than being woven together. This carbon is used on the Fenomalist and Aero UD in the Storck line-up. |

The continuation of the story of James B. McGovern, Jr. better known as Earthquake McGoon. Pilot, war hero and perhaps best remembered as a wonderful contribution to the human race.
Part One
Content is from Check-Six.com
Years of Silence…
After a French officer learned from Ban Sot villagers in 1959 about three graves in the area, CIA officials stifled his report. "They indicated in a vague way that they feared a lawsuit if they gave the relatives false information. Therefore, no one notified McGovern's or Buford's relatives," according to Felix Smith, a retired CAT pilot.
Smith recalled McGovern as being "a real big-hearted guy," but not the "wild man" as the press widely reported. "He was a bon vivant, happy-go-lucky. He loved kids, and he was the guy who in a tense situation would come out with some joke." Continue reading

"The people of Massachusetts share common concerns about the economy, education and keeping our commitments to seniors. But there are also local issues that weigh heavily on residents where the federal government has a role, such as South Coast Rail," said Mindy Myers, Campaign Manager for Elizabeth Warren for Massachusetts.
"Elizabeth believes that voters should hear from both candidates on issues close to home in forums close to home. Scott Brown should not turn his back on these voters."
Later the same day, Brown shot back at Warren for refusing to participate in a radio debate with WBZ's Dan Rea.
"I'm disappointed that, after clamoring for debates, Elizabeth Warren has decided to duck the first opportunity of this campaign to discuss the issues with me at WBZ Radio Wednesday night," he said in a campaign statement. "By skipping this first debate, Professor Warren is once again saying one thing but doing another. I have very important differences with Professor Warren on taxes, spending and debt - all of which she wants to increase. I plan on showing up at the debate anyway to talk about these issues."
Warren's campaign said she has now accepted seven televised debates while Brown has agreed only to four. He rejected an invitation from UMass-Boston and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate, as well as a Worcester debate hosted by the Telegram & Gazette, a consortium of local colleges, and the Worcester Chamber of Commerce.
The New Bedford debate would be hosted by the SouthCoast Alliance, a coalition of business, civic, media and community service organizations.
"It's a disservice to voters to refuse to debate in different parts of the Commonwealth. Residents of Central Massachusetts and the South Coast should be able to directly hear from both candidates. Scott Brown ought to reconsider his stance and accept debates in Worcester and New Bedford," said Myers.

People planning a trip to Florida for their summer holidays this year may want to think about hopping on a bus and travelling around the state to see what's on offer, tourism official have said.
While families may be looking for a restful break, particularly after a long journey involving airport transfers, a tourism agency for Polk Country said travellers should explore Florida's wild side.
According to the agency, Polk County, which is located in the geographical heart of Florida between Orlando and Tampa, is a secret haven for visitors looking to explore further. Some of the attractions on offer include the Safari Wilderness Ranch.
The ranch, which opened for guided tours earlier this year, should be a hit with animal lovers as it is home to a number of unusual species. These include the scimitar-horned oryx, which is extinct in the wild.
A new water park at Legoland Florida also opened in May and should provide families with hours of fun.
The water park features 50 rides, shows, and a botanic garden, as well as other top family attractions. For those interested in nature, the region also hosts the Polk NatureFest, which will feature airboat eco-tours, nature talks and other activities.
And for sports and outdoor lovers, central Florida offers a number of options including watersports, fishing and birdwatching.

Here's A New Way to Honor Grandpa
Once upon a time, a lot of baby boys were named after their dads. But while some families still follow this tradition, there are many fewer juniors around than there used to be. One new twist on patronymics: son names, such as Harrison and Jackson.
Of course, most Harrisons and Jacksons aren't the sons of guys named Harry and Jack. But we can't help feeling that in some unconscious way, the son names have caught on because they suggest family tradition, the passing down of a name from father to, well, son….or sometimes daughter.
Popular son names for girls include Madison, Addison, Allison and Emerson. And some of the trendiest of the group don't really feel like son names: Jason, Mason, Tyson, and Crimson would fit in this category.
Here, some great son names you may not have thought of. They stand on their own merits, but you might want to consider them as a way to honor an ancestral Carl or James.
(And a reminder that with our search function, when you search by letter you're not limited to ONE letter – you can search for all names that end in –son or –ley, for instance.)

Utah Valley University
Policies and Procedures
Title | Self-Funded Health Plan Financial Management | Number | 364 |
Section | Human Resources | Approval Date | Feb 08,2007 |
Subsection | Compensation and Benefits | Effective Date | Feb 08,2007 |
I. Purpose
- Beginning in 2006-07, UVU has chosen to partially self-fund its health plan. New policy and procedure is needed to facilitate prudent and appropriate management of financial reserves.
II. References
- University policy B-3.1, Investments
- State Money Management Act of 1974, 51-7-1, et. seq., Utah Code Annotated, 1953, as amended.
III. Terms
- Partially Self-Funded: An insurance funding model wherein the institution assumes the financial risk for funding health benefits for its employees by paying actual incurred claim costs and administrative fees instead of premiums fixed by an insurance carrier. Risk to the institution is mitigated through the purchase of Reinsurance/Stop-Loss insurance.
- Reinsurance/Stop-Loss Insurance: Specific and Aggregate Insurance purchased on a premium basis to protect the institution against catastrophic claims thus containing risk and facilitating financial solvency of the partially self-funded plan.
- Reserves: Funds generated and held by the institution as a cushion in the event that claims (through utilization or cost increases) exceed expected projections;, expenses change as a result of revisions to laws, rules or regulations governing health plan; or the Plan terminates or changes funding mechanisms.
- Plan: The institution's employee health benefits plans, including but not limited to medical and dental plans.
- TPA (Third Party Administrator) / ASO (Administrative Service Organization): An organization that administers the institution's partially self-funded health plans including claim payments, processing, adjudication, reporting, documentation, etc.
- Investment of Reserves: Interest earnings or investments in stocks, bonds, mutual funds options, real estate, etc., made with the expectation of future income and capital gains and are in compliance with the State Money Management Act of 1974, 51-7-1, et. seq., Utah Code Annotated, 1953, as amended, and the UVU Policy and Procedure, B-3.1 Investments.
IV. Policy
Utah Valley University will establish and maintain adequate reserve funds and appropriate reinsurance/stop loss insurance to operate a financially stable and fiscally sound self-funded health plan. Financial management for UVU's self-funded health plan shall be under the direction of the Vice President for Administration and Legislative Affairs/Treasurer with annual reports provided to the Board of Trustees.
V. Procedures
- Reserve Funding and Purpose:
- Accumulation of reserve funds will consist of initial funds allocated at the effective date of the Plan (July 1, 2006) and will grow from premium dollars in excess of actual expenses, and return on investments. At any time that reserves are not fully funded, earnings from investments of reserves must be accumulated into the reserve. When reserves are fully funded, the President may opt to redirect earnings from investments of the reserves for other institutional purposes in accordance with Regents policy on Institutional Interest Income.
- A fully-funded reserve level is equal to approximately six (6) months of projected paid claims for the upcoming Plan year.
- Reserves will provide a revenue source for higher-than-expected Plan claims expenditures and will be available to pay claims incurred but not yet paid (run out) in the event that the institution should shift to another Plan funding model.
- Use of reserve funds is restricted to expenses related to the institution's plan, including, but not limited to, claim payments, TPA/ASO administrative fees, reinsurance costs, actuary services, consulting services, and in-house Plan administration.
- When reserves exceed the fully-funded level, excess reserves may be used to fund Plan design changes, reduce premiums (temporarily or permanently), and/or be distributed to fund employee compensation changes.
- Financial Management Responsibility:
- Under the direction of the Treasurer, the Associate Vice President for Finance will direct and appoint the institution's Self-Funding Oversight Committee.
- This committee shall include representatives from the Business Office, Human Resource Services, Budget Office, administration, and a faculty member from Accounting or Finance. The faculty representative shall be chosen in consultation with the Faculty Senate President.
- Financial transactions for the Plan will be monitored by the Business Office and reported to the Associate Vice President for Finance.
- Under the direction of the institution Treasurer, an annual report on the institution's self-funded health plan will be presented to the Board of Trustees.

Estimating when a gobbler is within range is easy, if you practice. Range estimation is a skill that must be learned through repetitive practice. A lot of novice turkey hunters do their homework—practice calling, pattern their guns and outfit themselves in full camo—only to go afield without a skill that is equally as important.
It has been proven in military field tests that the average person estimates range with a probable error of 30 percent. If the average untrained person has a 30 percent error handicap it's a pretty sure bet that a lot of turkey hunters go afield ill prepared.
Borrowing a method from the bow hunting fraternity is the simplest way to accurately judge distance. Several range-finding devices are available to help you estimate distance. When a gobbler is coming to your call is obviously not the time to try out a range finder. Find various landmarks, trees, rocks, etc., to note distance when you first set up. By the time a tom strolls within range you should be ready to shoot rather than squinting through a peephole.
If you go the route of using a range finder, don't make the mistake of trying it out the first time the morning you go turkey hunting. A little practice at home will go a long way toward success later.
There's another method that works well if you don't choose to use a range finder. Have a partner place a turkey decoy at an unknown distance in the woods, sit down and guess the yardage. Vary the terrain, lighting conditions, thickness—or lack of—brush to offer true hunting situations. Remember to sit down to estimate range because things look deceptively different from different heights. Take turns at this game and your range estimation will dramatically improve. Several NWTF chapters have incorporated this game into their JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship) youth events with a lot of success.
Accurate range estimation could help you in another way as well. I've found that there's a threshold at about 25 to 30 yards where mistakes, usually hunter movement, seem to be more critical than when a gobbler is beyond this distance. When a bird walks into this "hyper zone" practically any hunter movement can spell disaster. On several occasions this writer has watched birds within gun range, but beyond 25 yards, hesitate when they see something they don't like and often calm back down if they don't see something to confirm their fears. Inside 25 yards, a gobbler's best judgment is full retreat if he becomes suspicious. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but it's something to consider when afield.

Fed Up With High Oil Prices!
Are you Fed up with high oil prices? Well maybe we can talk about the possibility of prices coming down because we are starting to talk about an "exit strategy." No, I am not talking about Libya, but the Federal Reserve policy of quantitative easing. Perhaps the Fed is fed up with high oil and commodity prices as they may start to address the most bullish influence on the price of oil for the last couple of years.
I am not talking about speculators. What I am talking about is Fed policy of printing money that has set the stage for the historic commodity price inflation that we have seen. While the woefully uninformed look to blame speculation for the run up in price of oil and many other commodities, the truth is we have had some of the most bullish fundamentals for the price of a barrel of oil that we have ever had. Printed money and a global economy that is so infused with artificial stimulus that helped create a historic demand surge led by the developing world in a classic case of too many dollars chasing too few goods. Now add to that a war in an important OPEC producer and unrest throughout North Africa and the Middle East, I can't imagine why anyone is surprised that oil prices are where they are.
After surging for most of the week, gold and silver seemed to reverse course as it is possible that the Fed is laying the ground work to reverse its wildly inflationary quantitative easing policy. Oil prices might have fallen further if it were not for the perception of great risk going into the weekend.
The first sign that the Fed was thinking about backing away from the most amount of stimulus that has ever been thrown at the US economy were comments from Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans. Mr. Evans, who is considered to be a big backer of quantitative easing, seemed to suggest that while the Fed should continue following through on its $600 billion bond buying spree, recent strong economic data might suggest that perhaps no more QE will be needed.
Next up was Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard W. Fisher who said that the Fed will complete the $600 billion QE2 Treasury buying and he also said he is worried about inflation. As far as QE2, he said the Fed has done enough and risks doing too much. In fact he also said he wants to drop the Fed's mandate for achieving full employment.
Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Plosser seemed to take it a step further, almost suggesting that the completion of QE2 might not even be necessary. He said that the Fed may have to reverse its easy money policies in the not too distant future. In fact Mr. Plosser, unlike the woefully uninformed critics of speculation, seems to get it when he said, "What creates inflation is monetary policy at the end of the day."
I say so at the end of the day and at the beginning of the day! He went on to say that what worries him about these rising energy prices is that it will increase pressure on the Fed and other central banks to keep this monetary policy longer as these price gains will hold back economic growth by reducing spending power. That response will in my view create inflation, and we need to lean against that.
For the critics of speculation, one must remember that the Fed made it very clear that by this policy they wanted to create inflation. The Fed feared a deflationary depression and instead decided to flood the failing US and world banking system will a flood of freshly printed bills that had a direct impact on the value of the dollar and by default the prices of almost all commodities. Now the question becomes whether or not the Fed is changing their policy because they believe that the economy is really getting better or because the events in the North Africa and the turmoil throughout the Arab world is driving inflation beyond their comfort zone.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and members of the Federal Reserve have to ask themselves whether it was their policies of sparking inflation that lit the fuse of discontent across the Arab world. Was it the surging food and energy prices that finally awoke the masses to the fact that their leaders were living high on the hog while they are being repressed? Not only did they lack freedom, but they now face soaring food and energy prices and struggled to put food on their tables.
Another reason the investment funds and pension funds flooded to the commodity markets is because that's where the Federal Reserve wanted them. By creating an environment with negative real interest rates they were daring if not begging the funds to flood into the oil, gold and silver markets to ward off deflation. How dare anyone blame the speculator for doing what the Fed wanted them to do to save the global economic system? If you believe that the Fed saved the economy from an even worse fate, then you have to thank the speculators in the futures markets that made it all possible.
In fact, the Fed is on its knees thanking the speculators for bailing the world out of the greatest economic crisis since the great depression. Without the speculators, unemployment might be dramatically higher than it is now. More banks would have failed and the global economy would have frozen leading to even greater problems than we have now.
Over the weekend it seemed rebel forces in Libya were making some progress and were even promising to start delivering oil. As Obama finally gets around to addressing the nation regarding Libya, Reuters News reports that, "Rebels in east Libya have seized the town of Nawfaliyah from forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, extending their advance westwards towards the Libyan leader's hometown of Sirte."
In Syria violence continues and as reported by Reuters, "Two Reuters television journalists have been missing in Syria since Saturday night, when they were due to return to Lebanon."

This insightful and thoroughly researched study investigates the special sensitivities of government procurement that have left major trade barriers intact despite the WTO mandate that has proven so effective in other areas. Professor Arrowsmith examines the following crucial factors in depth:
Throughout the presentation the author focuses on specific issues to illuminate the overall pattern of her legal analysis. For example, practical questions stemming from such activities as multi-phase tendering and electronic procurement are raised for special scrutiny. The legal literature of the WTO and its jurisprudence are frequently brought into Professor Arrowsmith's arguments. The result is a new work of major significance-a work that government procurement officials in every country, whatever their field, cannot afford to ignore. The value of Government Procurement in the WTO to lawyers and scholars in the field goes without saying.
Review " Beneath its somewhat ordinary title is a work of extraordiary depth and quality. Although written by a law professor, this book is far more than a traditional legal textbook. In exceptionally lucid writing, the aithor sets forth a comprehensive study of the World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations ("Articles") on public procurement and their omplications."

Social policy questions present Americans with a cruel dilemma. From practical experience most of us realize that we are likely to confront certain hazards, such as illness or aging, against which private personal resources are an inadequate defense. Thus it is generally clear that the conditions of contemporary life necessitate some forms of public social programs. Yet when we think abstractly about the appropriate nature of public institutions, concepts like individualism and self-reliance seem to undermine the legitimacy of extensive public programs aimed at insulating vulnerable citizens from threatening contingencies.[1]
This dilemma takes particularly severe forms in discussions of extensive public programs for the poor.[2] In such instances, hesitancy based on abstract principles is reinforced by skepticism about the legitimacy of the needs these recipients evince. An excellent statement of this skepticism is provided by Charles Murray in Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950–1980 (Basic Books, 1984). Life is tough, Murray asserts, and the characteristics that people need to successfully cope with adversity—discipline and morality—must be carefully taught and nurtured. Most importantly, Murray argues that the social programs developed from the mid-1960s through the early 1970s provided few incentives for recipients to work hard or otherwise act responsibly. Instead, these programs exacerbated the plight of the poor by creating disincentives for responsible activity.
For Murray the destructive consequences of recent social programs are both material and moral. Whether the poor are materi-
ally better or worse off as a result of these programs is a hotly contested matter, and one I will leave to others.[3] Regardless of Murray's accuracy on the material consequences, he gives eloquent voice to the value concerns that public social provision is apt to engender in American political culture. To the degree that social programs carry the message—to the poor or to society generally—that impoverished citizens bear little or no responsibility for their predicaments, they carry a message at odds with some of the most cherished values of American political culture, beliefs in extensive if not equal opportunity and in human dignity through disciplined self-reliance. These conflicting messages, of course, sometimes accurately describe life situations: a child born into a severely impoverished household bears no responsibility for this event. In such cases American beliefs about opportunity are apt to be stretched to their limits, if they are applicable at all.
But Murray strikes home when he argues that the notion that people are not responsible for all that happens to them can be subtly transformed into the proposition that the poor are to be relieved from the arduous tasks involved in alleviating their conditions. Since the mid-1960s, he charges, the designers of American social programs have been too unwilling to insist on conscientious effort from poor persons in school classrooms, in families, on the streets, and in the labor market. In the related terms of Lawrence Mead, the practices of American public social provision have been too permissive.[4]
I do not share Murray or Mead's views on many matters, but I nonetheless suspect that they are correct on this point. Recent social programs—especially those focused on the poor—have been disinclined to elicit levels of personal responsibility from program recipients similar to those valued in the culture generally. As a consequence, we have on one hand a clear and widely recognized need for public social programs, and we have on the other widespread dissatisfaction with the ways we now go about some aspects of public social provision.
My purpose in this book is to suggest a way of escaping, or at least reducing, the problems of this dilemma by tailoring public social programs to prominent values of American political culture. Most of the ideas that I apply to the plight of victims of various social hazards are not new in and of themselves—as Richard Burn
noted two hundred years ago, "Almost every proposal which hath been made for the reformation of the poor laws hath been tried in former ages and found ineffectual."[5] My desired contribution lies rather in the arrangement of somewhat familiar ideas into a package that emphasizes certain implications largely ignored by other analysts. It is widely argued, for instance, that the United States represents a less encouraging environment for social programs than do many other advanced industrial societies. Apart from public education, whose special status I will discuss later, American performance with respect to social programs has been aptly characterized as "laggard."[6] Whether we consider the range of programs introduced or the proportion of gross national product spent on such programs, the United States trails many other advanced societies.
Throughout various explanations of American hesitancy with respect to social programs, two broad factors are frequently mentioned. First, some scholars hold that the values central to American political culture differ from those prevailing in some other advanced societies and are less supportive of social programs. The precise nature of these differences is disputed, but the attitudes of American elites are distinct from those of elites in other advanced societies.[7] Second, most analysts agree that the highly decentralized character of American political structures hampers the development of programs opposed by specific interests. The federal government, split among branches, finds coordinated action difficult. State and local governments are, through federalism, unusually active. And American political parties are weak, while interest groups are exceptionally diverse and unrestrained. Thus, all in all, central direction is difficult, and veto points are common and easily used. Programs that affect narrow groups, however, tend to slip through this structure more easily than social programs affecting broad segments of the population.[8] This is particularly the case when the groups are well financed and organized and can draw on spokespersons exhibiting expertise and social position. In such an unsupportive environment we might reasonably expect that both successful strategies for developing social programs and appropriate program design features would differ from their counterparts in other advanced societies.
These difficulties notwithstanding, one American social pro-
gram is well developed even by the standards of other advanced societies. In 1986 social security spending on pensions for the elderly, survivors, and disabled persons was $194 billion, 20 percent of the federal budget or about 5 percent of the gross national product (GNP).[9] The national commitment to social security illustrates that Americans are willing to support social programs that respect prevailing values; it also exemplifies the pliable nature of American core values and the capacity of American political institutions, even in the realm of social policy, to adapt to changing conditions.[10]
My thesis runs as follows: The development of social programs in America has been and will probably continue to be difficult, but social programs that fit nicely with the political culture are more likely to be successful than those that fit poorly. As the astute program executives of social security saw, one way to achieve an acceptable fit is to distribute program benefits in accordance with individual investments, that is, benefits are earned through the exertion of constructive effort and stored as effort-related credits in individual accounts. In enunciating this investments model, the architects of social security couched the program in innovative nuances of familiar American values. They well understood the value of creating a public image—in some respects a mythology—that avoided associations with socialism or the welfare state.[11] In so doing, they largely succeeded in creating a new form of public policy, one that has brought respectability to at least a segment of American social provision.[12]
Today the investments theme is an established principle of American political culture. As such, it could be explicitly extended to a broader range of episodic problems. Moreover, the design features of social security could be adapted for the development of social merging programs directed at reducing poverty. Rather than imposing particular activities on the recipients of public assistance (workfare), social merging programs could offer benefits that would facilitate and supplement recipients' concurrent efforts at self-support. By linking benefits to the recipients' efforts, social merging programs could both supplant most current public assistance programs and dispel popular perceptions of recipients as people who are getting something for nothing.[13] It is imperative that we take advantage of these opportunities for constructive emulation.
For, while public social provision is a necessary accoutrement of advanced industrial societies, much contemporary American social program practice is markedly and needlessly at odds with important values of American political culture.
In developing my investments model, I use the language of rights—socioeconomic rights—rather than refer to socialism or the welfare state. Some people may question the appropriateness of discussing programs generally associated with the political left in terms of rights of any kind. The reservation runs that those on the left wave the term rights for rhetorical purposes but do not respect rights as ideals to be upheld in crucial situations.[14] But I have no hesitancy in linking individual rights to social programs. As I will argue in part 1, socioeconomic rights are the most recent of several steps in the extension of the Anglo-American tradition of individual rights. The types of rights encompassed by this tradition have grown over the last three centuries,[15] and different types of rights are not completely compatible. But socioeconomic rights, as we shall see, do not break new ground in this respect.[16] And if my thesis is correct, efforts to minimize the distance between socioeconomic rights and American core values are essential to the full realization of the rights in question.
My argument thus begins with an examination of the status of socioeconomic rights with respect to American values. The central question here is, To what degree is meeting the basic needs addressed by socioeconomic rights through such rights compatible with American values? In chapters 1 through 4, I develop a cautiously optimistic response to this question.
On this foundation, I establish in part 2 of this book what I call the investments approach to social programs. The central question here is, How can American social programs be designed to better serve both basic human needs (thereby realizing socioeconomic rights) and other values of American political culture (thereby acquiring greater political viability)? Following the example of Alexander George's work with focused comparison,[17] I present limited case studies of three programs: social security, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), and Medicare. These three programs highlight distinctive features of exceptional importance: social security illustrates a limited but generally encouraging example of the investments approach; AFDC exemplifies a disturbing program
that fits neither American values nor the needs of its beneficiaries; and Medicare turns our attention to the special problems private providers create. Each program is examined in terms of a standard series of questions developed in part 1, with particular attention on the implications of current practice for tailoring revitalized programs to American values.
With respect to the scope of this study, four points deserve emphasis here. First, while I sometimes draw on the experiences of other nations, this is not a comparative study. Other advanced industrial societies have broader experience with social programs, and surely we could learn something from their experience. But the United States is widely regarded as exceptional,[18] and what works elsewhere may not work here. The converse is true as well, and my analysis, directed at the peculiarities of the American situation, is not intended as applicable to or appropriate for advanced societies generally.
Second, I restrict my analysis to income earning and income maintenance with a secondary focus on medical-care provision that enables me to contrast the easier tasks of transfer payments with the less enviable trials of providing for unpredictable and expensive social services. In passing, I point out several implications of my arguments for housing and education programs, but neither these nor the provision of transportation or legal services are addressed by my policy recommendations. Of course, social policy inevitably creates problems of "harmonization" with other policy areas,[19] and several such issues arise as prominent concerns in later chapters.
Third, I want to point out how recent American social policy innovations relate to my own thinking. Limiting the out-of-pocket expenses of Medicare patients through catastrophic medical-care insurance is consistent with the spirit of my proposals on medical care in chapter 8 although the Medicare measure affects a relatively small proportion of the population. In contrast, the welfare reform measure signed by President Reagan in October 1988 does not represent a sharp change from current practice and is insufficiently bold to break the grip of the problems I discuss in chapter 6.
Fourth, I cannot but acknowledge that even if basic needs receive the more thorough and effective public support that I recommend, socioeconomic inequities will persist. A more equitable dis-
tribution of the material resources required to satisfy basic needs would diminish the suffering, deprivation, and anxiety many Americans experience when disturbing contingencies befall them. But much unfairness about the organization of work will remain, and dreary jobs will not be transformed into meaningful work. These obvious difficulties will not vanish; nor will the "hidden injuries of class" by which many burdens of failure are carried by the children of the poor.[20]
