Women's Rights (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
The effort to secure equal rights for women and to remove gender discrimination from laws, institutions, and behavioral patterns.
The women's rights movement began in the nineteenth century with the demand by some women reformers for the right to vote, known as suffrage, and for the same legal rights as men. Though the vote was secured for women by the NINETEENTH AMENDMENT to the U.S. Constitution in 1920, most of the gains women have made in achieving legal equality and ending gender discrimination have come since the 1960s. CIVIL RIGHTS legislation of that era was primarily focused on ensuring that African Americans and other racial minorities secured EQUAL PROTECTION of the laws. However, the inclusion of sex as a protected category under the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 (42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e et seq.) gave women a powerful legal tool to end SEX DISCRIMINATION and to erase cultural stereotypes about females.
The modern women's rights movement began in the 1960s and gained momentum with the development of the scholarly field of FEMINIST JURISPRUDENCE in the 1970s. The quest for women's rights has led to legal challenges in the areas of employment, domestic relations, reproductive rights, education, and CRIMINAL LAW. Although the women's rights movement failed to secure ratification of the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT (ERA), the courts have generally been receptive to claims that...

A new study suggests that if schizophrenia runs in a family, there's a good chance that bipolar disorder does as well (and vice versa). The findings, published today in the journal The Lancet, suggest that the two disorders are caused by some of the same genes.
"These findings say that [schizophrenia and bipolar disorder] are related, above all, for genetic reasons," says lead study author Paul Lichtenstein, a genetic epidemiologist at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. "[Therefore] it might not be a good idea to view these disorders as separate entities."
Lichtenstein and his colleagues (researchers from both the U.S. and Sweden) scoured the entire Swedish population for anyone with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder by reviewing psychiatric discharge data from all Swedish hospitals between 1973 and 2004.
They identified 35,985 people with schizophrenia (0.40 percent of the population) and 40,487 people with bipolar disorder (0.45 percent of the population). To figure out if and how some of these patients were related, the researchers searched for these individuals in Sweden's multi-generation register, a population database that links nearly every person born in Sweden (population: around 9 million) to his or her parents. This way, they were able to identify parents, children and siblings who shared the diseases.
They discovered that if mom or dad had schizophrenia, a child was 9.9 times more likely to have the disorder (characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and social withdrawal) as well as 5.2 times more likely to have bipolar disorder than someone without a schizophrenic parent. Conversely, someone with at least one parent with bipolar disorder (marked by extreme highs and lows in mood, or periods of mania and depression) was 6.4 times more likely to be bipolar and 2.4 times more likely to have schizophrenia (than those sans a bipolar parent).
Having a brother or sister with one of the psychiatric conditions also upped a person's odds of having both disorders. Those with schizophrenic siblings were 3.7 times more likely to be bipolar and 9 times more likely to have schizophrenia; those with bipolar siblings were 3.9 times more likely to have schizophrenia and 7.9 times more likely to be bipolar.
According to Lichtenstein, this data illustrates the extent to which these two disorders are genetically related. He speculates that hundreds if not thousands of genes are at the root of each disorder, about half of which may overlap. But, as other researchers have pointed out, the vast majority of these genes are yet to be found.
All around the world "there are large-scale genetic studies trying to look at genes responsible for causing these disorders," says Lichtenstein, who is currently conducting one of them. "We should look for overlap between not only schizophrenia and bipolar disorders (but also for other psychiatric illnesses such as depression)."

Genes? it's more plausible to think that kids born in an ambient with parents with this diseases can develop the same disorder. The correlation of heredability and disease do not necessarily implicate genes, it's dangerous this way of thinking more similar to "eugenetics" than science. Correlation do not mean causality. Without the evidence of the sequence you could not blame the DNA, cause the epigenetics causes of disease are also here inherit it. May be if you do a "common garden" experiment I can believe this bullsh... hehehehehehehe. Meanwhile I still think that DNA doesn't make us
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe authors considered the environmental effect "Shared environmental effects were small but substantial (schizophrenia: 4·5%, 4·4%—7·4%; bipolar disorder: 3·4%, 2·3%—6·2%) for both disorders." They analyze adopted children too. It will be interesting to see if even when according to the paper there's an increased risk this is reduced compared to children whit bipolar parents and raised with them.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisYes, it is quite important to find those genes. But what I concern more is how we can take charge of these things. How we can change those patients' prognosis, and how to ensure them a better life.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIt wouldn't be too surprising if they were linked. Severe mania is usually accompanied by hallucinations and delusions of various kinds, including paranoid. I am bipolar and have gone through a strong, but not severe, manic episode. I'm no expert on schizophrenia, but from the standard accounts it seems similar to the mixed bipolar state, wherein one suffers from both manic and depressive symptoms at the same time. There are, of course,very sharp differences between the two as well and any similaities should not be exaggerated.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI have a grandmother with schizophrenia and I have bi-polar disorder. I believe my mother, her daughter, had bi-polar too. She is now deceased from cancer but when I look back it looks pretty obvious. What I would like to do is get off all these damn pills and try a more holistic approach, but these doctors just want to medicate me. I personally have no fear of death and can't wait until this life is over. This disease is exhausting.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI welcome this study as my brother has Schizophrenia and I am more than likely Bi-Polar. i am 56 years old and am thinking of trying to get a diagnosis as my job prospects are minimal. Maybe with support i can get a part-time job to suit my skills and stamina. I am currently a self-employed complimentary Health Therapist and I find this work is the better option than medication as is Gardening in season. What I find frustrating with the Medical profession is the need to cure or control someone with this condition whereas realistically what is needed is real support and understanding. I have benefited greatly in the past from Counselling and Coaching but having debts now cannot afford to pay privately.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to this My choice of bipolar disorder stems from my experience with the disorder in my personal life. I was raised in a healthy family environment with an abundance of stability. My family environment had very little conflict and my parents were attentive to my health and well being. I was never exposed to mental illness in my family. My parents never spoke about people with mental illness and I knew very little about the different types of disorders. Against my parent's wishes, I married my high school boyfriend at eighteen.
He came from a very dysfunctional family and his mother suffered from extreme depression. In addition to his mother's illness, his father was also severely depressed. His parents had divorced several years earlier but both still suffered from depression. He had little contact with his father which left his mother the primary caregiver for three boys. His mother's depression prevented her from providing for the boys. Often times the boys had no food or running water.
He was always a very moody person and could go from one extreme to the next. My family disliked him for the moodiness; however, I grew accustomed to it. Unfortunately, most of his employers had issues dealing with his hot temper. His temper would usually flare up after a couple of months on a job and he would be terminated because of it. The loss of jobs would drive him into a deep depression that would last for months at a time. During the months when he wasn't depressed, he would spend days and nights working on projects, never stopping to sleep. One morning I awoke to find our entire garage painted with elaborate murals.

Manic Depression News and Discussion Forum
My wife was diagnosed w/ bipolar disorder five years ago.It started w/ her falling into a depression which morphed into a manic epsiode w/ psychotic features.During her second hospitalization,(she was hospitalized five times in 2 1/2 years),I was asked if I knew that her brother was bipolar.I didn't know about his diagnosis,but,it helped explain the myriad problems he'd experienced. Long before any of my wife's problems surfaced,she told me of events in her childhood that,now ,seem to indicate schizophrenia.She spoke of the sensation of being touched when no one else was present and of smelling flowers when none were present.
The last five years have been sad,frustrating and harder than anything I could have heretofore imagined.My wife eschews meds and therapy,she's gone through all her money,has virtually no income and our marriage has been destroyed.As is usually the case,the caregiver is held in contempt by the patient. My heart goes out to all the families who are going through the heartache of having a loved one afflicted w/ bipolar disorder. It's reached a point here where I feel I must leave her in order to stop being an enabler.It's a horrible choice to face,but ,I've tried everything else,to no avail.
Indeed, a study have shown that identical twins separated when babies and adopted in different famillies share the same risk for schizophrenia...
They shared the same DNA but not the same upbringing
«Eugenics» is about removing individual from the gene pool because of personnal traits that are deemed undesirable. Hitler and the nazis did that. I see nothing of the sort in the above article...
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisMy sister is schizophenic patient, my cousin is bipolar, the sister of my father was a schizophenic patient. A few years ago, we found a nephew with "X" fragil. Are there chances of "fix" this genes ?
@Caudipterix: I agree the article should be a little more clear but its certainly NOT Bull****
The article states that both conditions are genetically linked; this is almost certainly true. The familial, adoptive and twin studies are too strong to be explained any other way. What the article doesnt state is that there are likely many other factors involved in BPAD and Schizophrenia. Several other factor include being born in the spring/winter, urban living, living in a highly emotional family etc etc.
As for the epigenetics argue, I m sure there are epigenetic factors but traditionally epigenetic factors are very hard to analysis. So I suppose at the moment researchers are doing the best they can to understand the disease with the tools in hand.
As a matter of interest how would you explain the concorrandance rates if genes are not implicated?
@CAP: Unfortunately at the moment the only way to fix genes is to use gene therapy and this only really works when its a one-gene illness, most of the genes for these illnesses are of yet unknown.
However if you can tolerate the medications the prognosis is usually quite good.
You have my thoughts and I hope your family are doing well.
these both disease can't be cured and this is sad(but who knows maybe in the next future a treatment will be find...)until that time these disorders can be controlled with medications ,based on 24drug.com and remember NEVER lose hope and don't quit!
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisthese bout disease are definitely linked but the sad thing is that there's no cure at this time,but who knows maybe in the next future scientist would find a way to treat BP and schizophrenia... until then there a lot of ways to control and to improve general state with medications ...based on 24drug.com
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI also think that Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia are somewhat linked. I son was also suffering from bipolar disorder since birth but now he is well.

I really do enjoy attending these dinners.
In fact I have a lot more material prepared but I have to get the Secret Service home in time for the new corporate.
Well sure everybody laughed and I suspected and so themselves why am I laughing at this for you have Secret Service agents out there.

And dot the mayor wanted to put a -- a ban on guns on the whole city.
And governor Scott said look there's a band around the convention center that's enough people get to carry their guns.
Okay all right -- this is a mess for Elizabeth Warren or her as her best friends like to call her Tonto Schwartz the former consumer advocate for the Obama administration now running for senate in.
Made a claim at one point -- -- university career that she was a native American.
This is transparently false although some geologists say that you may be one 32.

October 2011
The issue of hunger in urban areas has long been neglected, as part of a more general neglect of urban poverty. And when the issue is covered, there are some glaring gaps in the analysis.
Imagine you live in a small village in Africa. You and your family cultivate a small plot of land, graze livestock on village land and collect fire wood from a nearby forest – just as your grandparents and great grandparents did. Then, one day, everything changes. A big car arrives in the village with company officials and the chief district officer. You are told that the company and the government have signed a lease that gives the company a large area of land – including your plot, rangeland and forest. The visiting officials are upbeat – there will be jobs, a village school and a clinic as result. But you have heard promises before, and you were let down. You stand to lose all that you have – the land that feeds your family and that you belong to. All for an uncertain future. You rightly ask: "Will the jobs materialise? Will I get one? Why should I give up my farm to work on somebody else's plantation?"
A gastronomic boom sweeping through Peru reflects the country's economic growth and optimism.
After recent announcements of winners for the Nobel prize, the World Food prize and the African leadership prize for good governance this blog asks, do prizes work?
When a large disaster hits – like the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami – it receives international media coverage, aid is mobilised and aid agencies rush to respond. While survivors of smaller disasters might wish for such attention, there are some serious negative side-effects to these responses. Survivors are often sidelined with little influence on the responses chosen and with little control over how the external funding is used or prioritised, as these decisions rest mostly with external funders. But responses that don't consult with them risk not only failing, but potentially weakening the communities they're working with. It doesn't have to be this way.
I have been attending a meeting of around forty Archbishops and Bishops from all over Asia for several days now at Assumption University on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand surrounded by flood waters approaching the country's low-lying capital city.
An anniversary is an opportunity to both celebrate and reflect. For IIED, which marks its 40th birthday next week, it is a time to remember what we have achieved and invigorate ourselves for the challenges ahead.
Communities often develop from a sense of place and a shared sense of belonging to that place. So, how do you bring a community together in a slum where people aren't allowed to 'belong' because they don't have anywhere to live, or they're living illegally in a shack and know they might be evicted tomorrow?

Love Letters, hate mail
Open Letter to Chris Christie
Dear UTW:
The open letter below was sent to the N.J. governor, Chris Christie. I could not let the vote against the People of New Jersey by the representative from Oklahoma's First District stand as a representation of the people here or our values. As a former candidate for Congress, I can assure you that my vote would have been for the People of New Jersey. I pray that the next vote is a better representation our support for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
To The Honorable Governor Christie:
Oklahoma's thoughts and prayers are with the people of New Jersey as you begin to rebuild from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Additionally, I want to say thank you. Your anti-partisan leadership in the wake of this tragedy has been inspiring to so many of us. Please know that we stand with New Jersey even when some of our representatives in Washington do not.
On behalf of Oklahomans in the First Congressional District, I sincerely apologize for Congressman Jim Bridenstine's callous vote against the people of New Jersey. His vote to deny funding of the National Flood Insurance Act was reprehensible. While he stands defiant in the face of people in need, we do not. There is a time and a place for politics but it is not now. As a citizen of the First District of Oklahoma, I assure you that our congressman will hear about our displeasure before the next vote concerning this issue and I pray that he will see the light.
Congressman Bridenstine was raised in Michigan and should recognize the dangers of the Arctic temperatures in New Jersey in January. Two months is too long to go without relief and support for our fellow Americans should have been unanimous. I am thankful that most of his Republican colleagues were not so unfeeling for their fellow Americans. Coming from a state that sees its share of natural disasters, I pray that Jim Bridenstine's insensitivity will not be held against Oklahomans the next time we see wildfires or the devastation of a tornado and need federal assistance.
Throughout our Nation's history we have always come together in times of need. Rest assured that the people of Oklahoma are kind and generous. We will support you and understand your plight during this act of God. We make choices every day about the kind of people we want to be. We are better than this and we will insist our representative be better as well.
--John Olson
(John Olson was the Democratic nominee in the First District congressional race in 2012, losing to Rep. Jim Bridenstine.)
Arming Teachers IS the Answer
(re: The Capitolist, Dec. 27, 2012-Jan.2, 2013)
Dear UTW:
This is in response to Arnold Hamilton's article about arming teachers.
While he is right in that the rifle used in the Hook shooting was formidable, it isn't a magic plasma gun either. A long rifle like that is hard to maneuver for the untrained, especially while being shot at. I read that the principal had charged the shooter before she was shot and killed; why not enable someone with that kind of courage and provide them the means to defend kids? Currently, teachers are legally prohibited from carrying a gun to protect kids. This is unacceptable.
Allowing teachers to carry can have an immediate impact; we need to turn these soft targets into hard targets and this can be done inconspicuously with concealed carry. There are guns already in schools and cops carry them. Why force teachers to wait on the cops when they are perfectly capable of stopping a shooting like this? It has happened before.
He says no one needs a semiautomatic rifle (a.k.a. assault rifle) for self-defense. What would he recommend? Hunting rifle, shotgun, etc.? There is a lot to be said for using a .223 caliber rifle for defending your home. That round doesn't over penetrate like a handgun or shotgun would, which is an important consideration for people with a family. It also less deadly than a shotgun round.
High capacity magazines were banned for ten years (94-04) and not a single credible study was able to attribute it to a decrease in crime. Even the anti-gun Hopkins report was unable to say it did anything to prevent crime. The last AWB limited magazine capacity to 10 rounds; if that was sufficient then the police would carry that many. They don't carry that many for a very good reason: they never know what will happen so they prepare for it.
I've tried to have a conversion with pro-gun control people and not only do they want an assault weapons ban, they want a ban on all semiautomatic guns (i.e. handguns & hunting shotguns). Their position is unreasonable and unrealistic, and the American people will not stand for it. The current AWB legislation will force all owners of semiautomatic guns to register them. By the way, Canada had a registry and they repealed it because it was too costly.
The fact of the matter is there are millions of semiautomatic rifles out there and the government doesn't know who possesses them. The best thing we can do today is enable the school faculty to protect our children. We train millions of 17 and 18 year olds how shoot machine guns every year in the military. I'm sure our teachers are more than capable of handling a small handgun.
--Leland Conn

Starting at | Starting at 24 MPG City - 32 MPG Highway
The Versa has one of the lowest base sticker prices of any vehicle for sale in the U.S., which makes it extremely attractive for anyone who'd like to get a new car (and a new-car warranty) on a used-car budget. But that's not all it has going for it; the Versa has the ride quality of a larger car, as well as more interior space than most other cars its size (rivaled only, in practical terms, by the Honda Fit).
The Versa carries into 2011 with no significant changes after receiving a reconfigured feature set last year. The only minor equipment news includes the expansion of anti-lock brakes availability to all models.
The front-wheel-drive Versa is offered in 4-door hatchback and 5-door sedan body styles; the sedan is offered either with 1.6- or 1.8-liter engine variants, while the hatch is only available in 1.8-liter form.

Research & Scholarship
Current Research and Scholarly Interests
My laboratory is developing imaging assays to monitor fundamental cellular/molecular events in living subjects including patients. Technologies such as micro positron emission tomography (microPET), bioluminescence optical imaging, fluorescence optical imaging, micro computerized axial tomography (microCAT), ultrasound, photoacoustics, Raman imaging are all being actively investigated in small animal models. Our goals are to marry fundamental advances in molecular/cell biology with those in biomedical imaging to advance the field of molecular imaging. We have a particular interest in cancer biology and gene therapy. Research in early cancer detection and pharmacological therapy assessment is also being performed. Assays to interrogate cells for mRNA levels, cell surface antigens, intracellular proteins and protein-protein interactions are under active development. We are also extending many of these approaches for human clinical applications using optical and PET-CT technologies.
Clinical Trials
- Recruiting Assessing the Suitability of an Imaging Probe for Use in Clinical Cell and Gene Therapy Trials in Cancer and Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Recruiting PET/CT and Whole-Body MRI for Detection of Skeletal and Soft Tissue Metastases
- Recruiting Combined F18 and F18 FDG PET/CT for Evaluation of Malignancy
- Not Recruiting Imaging During Surgery in Diagnosing Patients With Prostate, Bladder, or Kidney Cancer
- Recruiting 3D Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging in Predicting Treatment Response in Patients With Liver Metastases From Colon Cancer

Oh, I agree.
But if I had to guess, I'd say Microsoft's current strategy is to get strong in mobile computing, because they won't have another chance.

One of the ongoing sources of confusion among Publisher users is how we use the terms page and sheet. Simply put, the page is the content of your publication and the sheet is the sheet of paper on which the page is printed. Depending on what you're creating, you may fit several pages on one sheet, or potential a page may extend across several sheets.
For example, if you're creating a holiday card, each page will be 4.25"x 5.5". Four pages will be printed onto 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper and then folded in quarters to make the card.
You can see this more clearly in the following screenshot of the print preview for the holiday card. The pages are numbered 1 through 4 on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper:
If your page and sheet are the same size, there's little chance for confusion. But given the varied sizes of cards, brochures, business cards, and many other publications, keeping the terms straight will help you get the results you want.
For more explanations of these and other Publisher terms, please see the excellent article Crabby demystifies Publisher terms.

Federal Student Loan Profits Rival Apple, Exxon Mobil It probably wouldn't come as a shock to most to learn that Exxon Mobil and Apple were two of the most profitable companies in the U.S. last year. With profits of $44.9 billion and $41.7 billion, respectively, the oil and electronics giants raked in quite a bit of revenue. But you may be surprised by which government program reported profits nearly as high: federal student loans. USA Today reports that the U.S. government made $41.3 billion in student loan profits during the last fiscal year. That's down from the previous year's total, but the report comes just as student loan debt eclipses the $1 trillion mark. In fact, Americans owe more in student loans than they do in credit card debt, as posted in the latest quarterly report from the New York Federal Reserve. And, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the popularity of these loans are unlikely to decrease: the non-partisan budget agency projects net loan volume (the total dollar amount offered in loans), net number of loans, and average loan amount to continue to increase every year for the next ten years. The following two graphs (courtesy of zerohedge.com) strikingly illustrate the changing nature of credit card and student loan debt. Even as Americans' credit card balances shrink, student loan volume remains high: As Americans take out less in credit card debt and more in student loans, the percentage of those loans that ultimately wind up as "delinquent" continues to grow, as well: These trends have many economists and policy experts worried about the increasingly negative effect student loan debt is having on the U.S. economy's ongoing recovery. Said Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently: "[Student loan debt] is affecting, for example, the ability of many young people to buy a first home, affecting other purchasing decisions they might make, affecting obviously their overall financial condition... To the extent that there's a lot of student debt held by people who are not working, it's obviously yet another drag on recovery." In July, Congress passed legislation that would tie student loan interest rates to financial markets, locking those rates in for the duration of the loan and capping the maximum applicable rate at various levels depending on the type of loan and level of study they will pay for. CBO estimated that would increase federal outlays by about $25 billion over the next five years. 0 Comments | Post a Comment | Sign up for NTU Action Alerts Tax Hikes Will Dim Black Friday for Some States' Shoppers It's almost Turkey time, and right after Thanksgiving many Americans will kick off the holiday shopping season with "Black Friday"; and, if not this week, soon enough even the biggest shopping procrastinators will have to scrounge up something for Mom and Dad. For many of those generous gift-buyers the state will be taking home a more significant portion of their expenses this holiday season thanks to sales and gas tax hikes. Three states just couldn't manage to find a way to cut spending, and instead raised sales taxes; and ten states and the District of Columbia hiked up their gas tax rates. California took home the crown for highest statewide sales tax rate as they rocketed their rate to 7.5 percent. More surprisingly Arkansas (up to 6.5 percent) and Virginia (up to 5.3 percent) also saw increases. For most people shopping means driving, or having something shipped that makes somebody else drive. So the second state-level tax that will have some unpleasant surprises for citizens (and Amazon) is the gas tax. Adding to this bane of commuters, shoppers, and taxpayers, were California (new state motto: "Bring Money"), Wyoming, Nebraska, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. For residents of these states Black Friday will seem a little bit darker this year. Is your state playing the Grinch this holiday season?

In this week's edition of the Taxpayer's Tab, NTUF looks at a bill designed to alert taxpayers when they're viewing a commercial they paid for. Representative Billy Long (R-MO) introduced H.R. 3308, the Taxpayer Transparency Act of 2013, in the wake of a $700 million advertising campaign designed by the federal government to encourage Americans to sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Congressman Long's bill would require federal agencies to clearly label publicly-funded ads as such, in the hopes that more transparency will foster discussion about how taxpayer dollars are used to promote government initiatives. The bill has gained 111 cosponsors so far, and NTUF estimates that its provisions will not require any additional outlays. Also featured this week:

Thanks to grassroots pressure and bipartisan support, the Ohio Legislature this week passed a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) Convention Application, growing the roster of states with BBA resolutions from 19 to 20. Thirty-four states must pass similar resolutions to reach the two-thirds threshold to call on Congress to set a time and place for a Constitutional Convention. It's no secret why taxpayers across the country are so eager for the passage of a BBA. Washington has run deficits during 45 of the last 50 years, proving that as an institution, Congress is no longer capable of restraining itself. Clearly, any solution to our spending crisis must come from outside Washington, D.C. Thankfully, Article V of the Constitution allows state lawmakers to exercise certain powers to prevent a catastrophe due to federal excesses. As we wrote in "Why You Must Lead the Congress" over two decades ago: The Founding Fathers had no way of predicting the current irresponsible spending policies of the federal government. Yet although they could not foretell the future, they were men of great wisdom. They did foresee the possibility that Congress might fail the people. It is for that reason that Article V of the U.S. Constitution enables the states to amend the Constitution. The time has come for the states to exercise their constitutional authority over the federal government, and our hats are off to the Ohio Legislature for doing their part to seize this historic opportunity. Stay tuned to NTU.org as we continue the push for an Article V Constitutional Convention for the sole purpose of adopting a Balanced Budget Amendment. NTU's letter calling on Ohio leaders to pass an Article V resolution can be found HERE. 1 Comments | Post a Comment | Sign up for NTU Action Alerts The Late Edition: November 21, 2013 Today's Taxpayer News!

In an effort to once again diffuse this misconception, let's examine how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been scored over time – for anyone citing old numbers, this should put to bed any "deficit-neutral" talk. For those inclined to believe the President, its understandable why they might echo his original claims on the subject. In September 2009 the President claimed "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future." While budget gimmickry allowed for Congressional Budget Office scores that backed these statements, anyone paying attention over the last three years should know better – there's that word again! Just before the law was passed in March 2010, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the law would save $130 billion over its first decade. We started the saga of these Affordable Care Act claims with that CBO estimate, yet when picked apart, it was revealed to be rather concocted for a number of reasons. First, the package given to the CBO ignored what's dubbed the "doc fix". This $371 billion Medicare reimbursement cut for doctors is routinely delayed or "fixed", meaning Medicare habitually ignores it and spends the ever increasing sum anyway. Not including this hefty price in government healthcare artificially lowers its total cost by compartmentalizing the spending in multiple bills. The law also double counted about $70 billion in savings from the CLASS Act, along term care program. Finally, the CBO is forced to assume that Congressional projections for health spending will be abided by and not dumped out of political convenience, another dubious notion. As the law came ever closer to implementation, the delay in the employer mandate happened. This will cost as much as $10 billion as expected fines are not collected over the year-long postponement, according to CBO. The mandate delay is also expected to push additional Americans into the federally subsidized exchanges, which would push costs up by as much as $5 billion more. Now, CBO has revised its ten-year cost estimate for Obamacare to upwards of $180 billion. The CBO report is paired with a Government Accountability Office report from January which maintains most of the supposed savings from the ACA are contingent on cost saving mechanisms and assumptions that place the political burden on Congress to maintain. The GAO "expressed concerns" about the will of Congress in this regard. That same report calculated the ACA would add an additional $6.2 trillion to America's long term deficit. This information should preclude any claims that Obamacare is deficit-neutral or even reduces the deficit. Unfortunately, we have to keep saying "should", which means the parties guilty of continuing these claims are likely to continue, and we can keep calling them on it. 1 Comments | Post a Comment | Sign up for NTU Action Alerts House to Vote on "Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act" The House of Representatives plans to take up H.R. 1900, the "Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act" tomorrow. Authored by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS), the bipartisan legislation "aims to expedite the federal review process for natural gas pipeline permit applications." Like the "North American Energy Infrastructure Act," a bill that targeted cross-border pipelines and transmission lines, H.R. 1900 would streamline the permitting process for natural gas pipelines, putting in place commonsense deadlines and guidelines to remove the regulatory limbo where many projects find themselves. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report from February 2013, found that the many stages and steps of the permitting process, that often vary from state to state, can quickly bog down projects. The GAO explains that "for those projects that were approved from January 2010 to January 2012, the average time from pre-filing to certification was 558 days…" As natural gas exploration booms around the country, moving that natural resource from one point to another is a crucial component to the growth and sustainability of the industry. From a consumer perspective, expediting the pipeline approval process means greater availability of an increasingly abundant and relatively low-cost energy source. To understand what greater pipeline capacity could mean for consumers, look no further than New England, where many suffer from high energy prices, especially in the winter, as the Boston Globe reports: The projects come as New England struggles to address growing demand for natural gas and supply constraints created by tight pipeline capacity. Those constraints have led to shortages and price spikes during the peak demand periods, such as extended winter cold snaps, helping to drive the region's already high energy costs even higher. Over the last decade, the amount of electricity in the region produced by natural gas has risen from about 15 percent to more than 50 percent, said Gordon van Welie, head of ISO New England, the region's grid operator. In Massachusetts, natural gas accounts for 67 percent of the state's electricity generation, and is also used to heat half the state's homes. "Some days there just isn't spare gas to be sold," van Welie said. Additional pipeline capacity, van Welie added, would help alleviate the issue and could also lead to lower energy costs in New England … As NTU wrote regarding the aforementioned "North American Energy Infrastructure Act," when it comes to giant infrastructure projects such as natural gas pipelines, "the planning, personnel, and capital all depend on a transparent, predictable, and consistent regulatory environment." By smoothing the regulatory hurdles and creating an environment of certainty for investors, H.R. 1900 would give consumers increased access to low-cost energy options and spur job-growth in an essential sector of our economy. NTU urges all Representatives to vote "Yes" on H.R. 1900. 0 Comments | Post a Comment | Sign up for NTU Action Alerts The Late Edition: November 20, 2013 Today's Taxpayer News!

Planning and Zoning Board delays Moore's recommendation
Date: September 15, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board delayed a recommendation to the Town Commission on owner Alan Moore's request to change Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant & Marina, 800 Broadway, to a residential site.
Moore says he won't be able to renegotiate his business's double-digit interest-rate loans that are due in January if the planning board doesn't move his request along to the commission next month.
Also at its regular meeting, the planning board:
• A request by Ringling College of Art and Design to delay a site-plan application for the Longboat Key Center for the Arts. The issuance of a building permit will be extended to June 30, 2012.
• A site-plan amendment for The Longboat Key Club Moorings Marina, 2800 Harbourside Drive, to allow for the addition of 13 parking spaces.
• Suggestions put together by town staff that depict different types of welcome signs that can be placed at the island's north and south ends as part of a $500,000 grant awarded as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The planning board's suggestions will be forwarded to the Town Commission for review at its Thursday, Sept. 24 regular workshop.
For more information on Moore's request, pick up a copy of the Thursday, Sept. 17 Longboat Observer.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com.

- It is hard for me to believe that Moore's request would be denied after an election demonstrated citizens of the island supported Moore's request. I guess the planning board is not interested in citizens' opinions about the key. Maybe we need to look at whose opinions should count.
