Plano, Texas J.C. Penney was honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy with the Energy Star Award for Sustained Excellence in Energy Management.
"J.C. Penney's leadership on energy efficiency has positively impacted their bottom line and our global environment, showing us all what can be accomplished through sustained commitment and action," said Kathleen Hogan, director of the climate protection partnerships division at the U.S. EPA.
Using the data and tools available through the Energy Star program, J.C. Penney has improved energy efficiency throughout its operations. In 2008, the company reduced energy use and comparable CO2 emissions across its building portfolio by more than 80 million lbs.
In addition, construction is under way in Fairview, Texas, on the chain's first store expected to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification. The company is also exploring renewable-energy projects. Nine stores are currently hosting rooftop solar-power installations, and a pilot wind-power project is being installed at one distribution center.
J.C. Penney has invested more than $100 million in the past six years to install energy-management technology, lighting retrofits and high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in its stores. More than 800 stores are now equipped with an energy-management system that provides remote monitoring of the store's electrical and mechanical systems, schedules the operation of lighting and HVAC equipment, monitors store comfort levels and identifies opportunities for saving energy.

A mother upset at the TSA's treatment of her daughter posted a video online of the 3-year-old in tears after agents asked to conduct additional screening on her wheelchair.
The Forck family was headed to Walt Disney World, waiting to board a flight from St. Louis to Orlando.
The mother said Transportation Security Administration agents brought her daughter, Lucy, who has spina bifida, to tears after pulling her aside and asking to pat her down and screen her wheelchair.
The mom said the final straw came when the agents refused to return the girl's stuffed animal.
The TSA has since apologized for what happened, and the girl's family did make it to Orlando for their vacation.
"TSA regrets inaccurate guidance was provided to this family during screening and offers its apology. We are committed to maintaining the security of the traveling public and strive to treat all passengers with dignity and respect. While no pat-down was performed, we will address specific concerns with our workforce."
Lucy's mother quickly got out her smartphone and started recording the ordeal, angering one TSA agent who told her she was not allowed to record what was happening.


text: Agency to study blocks used at Sago By Ken Ward Jr. February 10, 2006 Story Share Federal scientists have agreed to a special study of the foam blocks used to seal a closed-off mine area where the explosion that caused the Sago Mine disaster may have occurred.The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health will perform the review at the request of West Virginia mine safety regulators.The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration and the state Office of Miners Health, Safety and Training had asked NIOSH for special assistance to investigate the Sago disaster.�We will be planning to do so,� said NIOSH spokesman Fred Blosser. �We will meet with the state and MSHA to see what they have in mind.�Twelve miners died and a 13th was critically injured after an explosion ripped through the Upshur County mine early on Jan. 2.Sago was the worst mining disaster in West Virginia in nearly 40 years, and was the first in a string of fatal coal accidents that has rocked the state.On Thursday, Democratic House members said they would host a forum in Washington, D.C., on Monday that will include testimony from families of Sago victims and miners who previously worked at the International Coal Group operation.�The upcoming mine safety forum will be an opportunity for citizens of our nation�s coalfields to share with members of Congress and the public their unique perspective on the lives of miners and the working conditions in our mines,� said Rep. Nick J. Rahall, a West Virginia Democrat who is helping to organize the forum.Rahall is the lead House sponsor of the West Virginia congressional delegation�s bill to force MSHA to write tougher new mine rescue and safety regulations.ICG officials believe that the explosion occurred in an area of the Sago Mine that had been closed just weeks before the disaster. The company had been producing coal from the area, but closed it off after repeated roof falls made the work too dangerous, according to state mining records.On Oct. 14, state officials had approved the company�s plan to seal off the area using �Omega blocks,� a product described as resembling dense plastic foam.A state inspector examined the seals on Dec. 12 and found that they were properly constructed, according to state records.�The seals may be closed,� wrote John Collins, the state inspector. �The seals are built as approved.�United Mine Workers safety officials have questioned the use of the Omega block seals, saying that the blocks may not have been strong enough to meet federal regulations. MSHA rules require all seals to be built using �solid concrete blocks.� Alternate materials may be used only if they will withstand 20 pounds per square inch of pressure, the MSHA rules state. In a 1993 report, NIOSH examined the use of various materials for seals in underground mines.Companies frequently seal mined-out or abandoned areas to �eliminate the need to ventilate them,� NIOSH said in the report.If areas are sealed, mine operators no longer have to test them for methane or conduct pre-shift examinations to determine they are safe.�Seals also are used to isolate fire zones or areas susceptible to spontaneous combustion,� NIOSH said in its 1993 report. �Therefore, the mine seals must be capable of isolating these areas of the mine from the active workings.�NIOSH recommended that seals be able to control gas or air exchanges between the sealed an open areas of a mine, to prevent toxic or flammable gases from entering active workings. Also, seals should be capable of preventing an explosion initiated on one side from propagating to the other side, NIOSH said.NIOSH tested various seal materials by blowing them up at a testing facility in Pennsylvania.The tests indicated that the Omega blocks would meet MSHA standards, surviving a blast of 20 pounds per square inch, the NIOSH report said.NIOSH tested a model called Omega 384 blocks, described as �glass-fiber, reinforced lightweight block.�It is not clear if the Omega blocks used at Sago were the same as those tested by NIOSH.In a summary of its research on the topic, NIOSH praised cement seals that were used in the U.S. Steel Gary 50 Mine in Pineville. When an explosion occurred there in June 1995, the cement seals, �effectively contained the explosion, thereby sparing the miners working nearby,� MSHA said.J. Davitt McAteer, Gov. Joe Manchin�s mine safety adviser, said that the Omega block tests and the Sago investigation could indicate a larger safety problem that will need to be addressed.�It raises a very broad question,� McAteer said during a legislative briefing last month.�If we are encountering ignitions in the sealed areas, do we have to rethink what we�re doing in those areas?� he said. �That would be a big undertaking.�To contact staff writer Ken Ward Jr., use e-mail or call 348-1702.

The Ministers and Spouses Association of the Lord's Pentecostal Church International (TLPC), on Saturday donated detergents, sanitary pad, bags of rice, and crates of eggs valued at GH1, 000 cedis to the Nsawam medium female prison.
Speaking at the ceremony at Nsawam to hand over the items to the prison, Reverend Daniel Quarshie, Chairman of the association, said the association and church will continue to meet the needs of people as to when it is called to do since it forms part of their objectives.
He said every 24th March; the church uses the opportunity to donate to society as its social responsibilities to show love and care to the less privileged.
Rev Quarshie said the church will not concentrate on the spiritual needs of society alone but also material and physical needs, which is needed for its entire well-being.
The ceremony witnessed executives and members of the association interacting with the inmates by way of counseling to cheer them up.
He advised that the items be used to the benefit all inmates.
Reverend Eric Otoo, General Secretary of the church Rev Eric Otoo said the church will continue to offer help to the needy and under –privileged in society in fulfillment of the gospel.
He said the church will not concentrate on the spiritual needs of society alone but also material and physical needs, which is needed for its entire well-being.
Chief Superintendent of Prison (CSP) Margaret Dangah, who received the items on behalf of the inmates, thanked the church for the kind gesture and called on other public spirited individuals and organizations to emulate the good example.
A short church service was held after the donation to encourage the inmates and the need to develop their spiritual lives.

How Pro-Life Activists and OC Supervisors Cut Off Funds to Planned Parenthood
Squeezed Out
How anti-abortion-rights activists and the OC Board of Supervisors teamed up to cut off funds to Planned Parenthood
*This article was altered on July 6.
When Orange County Republican strategist Mark Bucher met Lila Rose last summer, he was incredulous and ecstatic. The 20-year-old pro-life activist and UCLA history major with a cascading brown mane had impressed Bucher with the details of what she planned to do with her summer vacation: With a hidden camera in tow and disguised as a 13-year-old, Rose would infiltrate Planned Parenthood clinics around the country to hopefully catch them breaking statutory-rape-reporting laws.
"She said she thought this is what Planned Parenthood does, and she'd like to try to prove it," says Bucher, a well-connected lawyer from Tustin. "And then you're like, sure, yeah, what are the chances of that?"
Bucher had heard of her activism—Rose founded a pro-life organization in her teens and had turned her attention toward Planned Parenthood in college. A large map of the U.S. with dots for Planned Parenthood clinics below the words "Exposing Planned Parenthood" adorns her homepage. Because there's nothing illegal or covert about any of the medical and educational services Planned Parenthood and other hospitals and clinics in the country provide, including abortion, Rose focused on the reporting laws, which, if broken, can result in criminal prosecution—and bad press. Her goal of targeting Planned Parenthood fits in with a national pro-life strategy to pressure state and local governments into pulling federal dollars from Planned Parenthood's network of community clinics because they perform abortions.
Although Rose didn't videotape any violations at any Orange County (or California) clinics, what she filmed in Tennessee and Indiana would later serve as ammunition for Bucher, who says the videos were the catalyst for his own efforts to get the county to cut all funding to the organization. His success has generated a new, homegrown county fight over Planned Parenthood.
Bucher is chatty and affable, qualities that belie his political feats: He founded the influential, anti-union Education Alliance, helped qualify the state's first gay-marriage-ban initiative in 2000, co-founded the conservative-candidate-funding Family Action PAC, and is treasurer of both the OC Republican Party and the powerful Republican Lincoln Club. "When you get conservatives together, great things happen," Bucher said at a recent Family Action luncheon.
He was impressed by the bravado Rose displayed in front of a group of Family Action members last year and decided to support her summer project. Although she wouldn't reveal how much Bucher donated to her project, Rose says she definitely received financial support from Bucher and considers him one of her most avid and active supporters. "He's been following our work—and my work—for quite a while, along with others in Orange County," she says.
The video she came back with, as well as the edited short clips she put up on YouTube, would pay off, especially for Bucher, who used the videos to alert county Supervisor John Moorlach (who received campaign money from Family Action PAC) that Planned Parenthood was receiving county funds—a fact that, according to Moorlach, came as a "shock" to him and the rest of the Board of Supervisors.
Although no county funds have ever gone to abortion services (Planned Parenthood is audited every year), in early March, the five-member, all-Republican board, citing their moral opposition to abortion, voted unanimously to cut off the $291,788 grant in tobacco-settlement funds the organization has received for the past nine years. In 1998, the attorneys general of 46 states settled their multiple Medicaid lawsuits against the four largest U.S. tobacco companies for $206 billion. The companies agreed to pay various annual amounts to the states, which would then distribute the funds to counties as tobacco-settlement-revenue (TSR) grants to pay for indigent medical primary and specialty care and smoking-related prevention and education. Counties decided how to spend their settlement funds; in Orange County, it was decided through 2000's Measure H. Planned Parenthood was using its share of the grant to pay for comprehensive reproductive-health education for teens, health-education training (often attended by county employees) and family-communication workshops.
Bucher, Moorlach and others viewed Planned Parenthood as having somehow surreptitiously wormed its way into the county budget, despite the organization's long track record in the county: Seed money to open its first OC clinic in 1965 was approved by the Board of Supervisors, and the county Health Care Agency (HCA) has long tapped Planned Parenthood to act as the primary health-care provider for thousands of women whom the county's dismal public health system no longer serves.
"One in three women have used Planned Parenthood at one time in their lives in Orange County," says Stephanie Kight, senior vice president for Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties. "We're a mainstream health-care provider, a primary provider. Women are turning to us in droves during these tough economic times. Lila Rose speaks to that small segment of the population who disagrees with one small part of our services."
On April 28, the board reinstated the organization's money through June because of potential illegalities, but it also directed the HCA to adopt a new policy that makes it tougher for local nonprofit clinics that provide abortions or abortion counseling to secure future county funding. Planned Parenthood believes it is being unduly targeted, and so far, the new policy seems to support that theory: The organization's most recent request for TSR funds for an in-patient clinic that would treat hundreds of young breast-cancer patients has been rebuffed by the HCA for more than a month, while all the other community clinics that applied for funds under the new policy have been approved for their blocks of money.
"The county's [two public] clinics refer patients in need of an abortion to us," says Kight. "So by their own rules, they would not be eligible for tobacco-settlement revenue."

Jason Warner is talking about talking about sex.
"A lot of adults, we think that a teachable moment is, 'Hey, sit down here; I need to talk to you.' And we kind of make this lecture out of it," Warner says to a group of professional counselors, therapists, mentors and educators on the sunny afternoon of June 25 at Planned Parenthood's offices in Orange. "That's one of the most uncomfortable situations, from what I hear from young people, to deal with. And it shuts them out.
"One of my favorite approaches is to use TV," he continues. "After seeing Flavor of Love, or Flava Flav, whatever it's called, where you have 10 women all flaunting for this one guy, ask, 'Is that realistic? What did you think about that?'"
A laugh ripples through the class. Warner, a handsome health-education specialist in his thirties whose Trinidadian parents also work in the medical field, is giving his "Train the Trainer" workshop to professionals from the county HCA, UCI Women's Center, the UCI Health Education Center, Irvine Unified School District, the Child Abuse Prevention Center, Juvenile Hall, Cal State Fullerton, the Nurse Family Partnership program and others. The group is curious and attentive, scribbling notes as Warner talks, laughing with him and throwing out their responses to questions he jabs them with about kids who meet online, sex education for handicapped teens, abstinence, lubricants, STDs and everything else that falls under the umbrella of the day-long workshop that Planned Parenthood has been giving for the past nine years throughout the county—thanks to TSR funds.
Though the session will have plenty of laughs—including during a spirited, educational game of Sex Bingo—it is a bittersweet afternoon for Warner: This is the last Planned Parenthood health-education workshop to be paid for by a TSR grant. The HCA's new policy prohibits all community clinics applying for TSR funds from using the money for group educational workshops. The new policy restricts the grants for use solely for direct medical care between a medical professional and a patient. Planned Parenthood is now looking for ways to fund future workshops—including possibly charging for them.
A county employee asks what exactly is happening with the TSR funding to Planned Parenthood. "Unfortunately," Warner explains, "they decided to cut funding for community clinics for health education." A small slip of paper tucked into the group's packets explains further: "Our annual grant of almost $300,000 helped to sponsor events like this one as well as comprehensive sex-education classroom instruction across Orange County, including at-risk and underserved youth." The group is perplexed. County employees want to know how it's possible for the county to ask that they participate in these kinds of training sessions while cutting off the money to pay for them.
"This is exactly what we do in a high-school classroom, or for nurses, or for the Health Care Agency," says Kight of such health-education workshops, which also include sessions with people who work at federally funded Women Infants and Children (WIC) program centers around the county. "This kind of education that extends far beyond our doors and into the community is so much of what we do—and is now no longer funded by the county."
Planned Parenthood hasn't accepted the county's sudden rejection of its services without a fight. After all, the organization has been intertwined with the county for decades; in 1965, it received $30,000 from the Board of Supervisors and opened the first outpatient, family-planning clinic at the Orange County Medical Center. Clinics sprang up throughout the county, with the support of supervisors and HCA in the following decades.
In the mid-1990s, following the county's massive bankruptcy, several public health clinics were shuttered. Planned Parenthood was asked on several occasions by HCA to absorb those clinics' family-planning patients, who included men and women seeking contraception, OB/GYN exams and prenatal care.

Planned Parenthood saw 75,000 patients in Orange County through the most recent fiscal year, which ended June 30—up 20 percent from the previous year. The majority of those visits—57 percent—were for contraception and well-woman OB/GYN exams. Only 7.1 percent were for abortion services.
Planned Parenthood's management expresses frustration that its services in the county, as well as its long relationship with HCA, have been ignored throughout the current controversy. "Our grant through the Coalition of Clinics for the tobacco funds was done exactly the same way all the other clinics applied for funding. There was no effort, I think, on anyone's part, to hide who these clinics were," says Jon Dunn, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties. "We always provided reproductive-health education with the funds, and we did so, in part, because I anticipated that, at some point, someone might decide that they weren't happy with Planned Parenthood getting the funds, and I wanted to be able to take the position that everything we're doing with these funds is preventative in nature and is unrelated specifically to abortion except that it prevents unintended pregnancies."
A recent call about a possible pregnancy to the number listed on the HCA website elicited an immediate referral to Planned Parenthood. "They can talk to you about all of your options," the woman said on the phone. When asked if the county's two remaining public health clinics do prenatal care, the answer was a simple no and another referral to Planned Parenthood, which offers full prenatal-care services. The only "family planning" services the county's two clinics provide is "birth control," she said.
* * *
When Rose returned with her videos at the end of the summer of 2008, Bucher says, he was alarmed by what she'd recorded, and he began looking into whether the local Planned Parenthood received county funding. "I have never before gotten involved in the [abortion] issue," Bucher says. "It was her video that motivated me to do what I did."
Rose's footage—and the way she edited it—created a brief, national sensation. She caught two staffers in Indiana and one in Tennessee on tape suggesting to Rose, whose hair was bleached blond and who was posing as a pregnant 13-year-old with a much-older boyfriend, that she lie about her boyfriend's age. Planned Parenthood, like any other health provider, is required by law to report any incidents of statutory rape to the police or Child Protective Services, so the women in the video, in essence, broke the law. Although the incidents caught on tape were isolated cases (Planned Parenthood has thousands of employees), they were enough to re-ignite the pro-life movement around its new media-savvy darling. Rose will not say how many clinics she actually visited, but, she says, she plans to release more videos.
"These are isolated incidents, and appropriate disciplinary action has been taken," says Kight. "How many other clinics did she go to where nothing went wrong? Why won't she disclose those numbers? We are mandated by state law to report these incidents, and we take this very, very seriously. We always report. We must, by law. If someone at one of our clinics is not complying with the law, then we deal with it immediately. You have to understand that young girls between 13 and 15 years old are less than 1 percent of the patients we see. Four out of five times, they come with their mother or an adult female relative. Remember, they can't drive. We always pay attention for possible signs of abuse in these situations because they're so rare."
Rose sent out press releases, appeared on FOX News, and chatted with Rush Limbaugh and a string of other conservative radio talk-show hosts. Her sound bites, repeated again and again in slight variations, were down pat: Planned Parenthood receives $300 million in federal funding and, according to Rose, the organization is endangering young girls.
Within Planned Parenthood, the videos created enough upheaval to launch internal investigations and bring about firings and resignations. They prompted the Tennessee state legislature to pass laws dedicated to stripping Planned Parenthood of its state funds.
Bucher began bugging Moorlach about the county's ties to Planned Parenthood after he saw that the organization was listed on HCA's website. "I had no recollection that anything was going to sex education, or that kind of component, in this whole deal," says Moorlach of the TSR funds. (Moorlach once said he didn't believe teens should be given contraception.) "Mark approached me and said, 'Hey, you guys are funding Planned Parenthood.' I said, 'No way. I have never seen their name on any agenda item.'"
After some digging, Moorlach discovered that the organization had, in fact, been receiving a TSR grant for the past eight years. He was beside himself. A straight-talking, amiable supervisor who laughs easily and is known for his razor-sharp analyses of perceived government waste and excessive spending, Moorlach rose to stardom during his 12-year tenure as the county's treasurer-tax collector and was easily elected to the Board of Supervisors in 1996. Despite his deep involvement in county politics and conservative issues, he seemed unaware of Planned Parenthood's long history in the county.
"For me, it was one of those shock moments," he says. "I wanted to know, 'How did this happen?'" He felt deceived by the HCA, he says, and at a February board meeting, he asked HCA to report back with information on all the community nonprofit clinics in the county receiving funds from the TSR.
The agency says it never had any obligation to disclose subcontractors to the board, only the contractor, which was the Coalition of Community Clinics, an organization that oversees the distribution of state funds to 19 clinics in the county. "Nothing was deliberately obfuscated," says Bob Gates, deputy director of indigent medical services for HCA. At any time, he says, the board could have asked and been told which clinics were receiving funds. The agency's county website, as well as the Coalition's website, openly lists Planned Parenthood as an affiliate nonprofit clinic.
Once the information was submitted, Moorlach was unequivocal: He didn't believe funding should go to Planned Parenthood because he was morally opposed to abortion. The board agreed with him. "I think abortion is a moral issue," Supervisor Chris Norby said at the March 10 meeting. "I don't believe the county should be funding abortion."
At that meeting, the board voted unanimously to suspend Planned Parenthood's $291,000 grant for the rest of the fiscal year.
The fact that the TSR funds Planned Parenthood was receiving had not been used for abortions didn't seem to matter. And the board did not discuss whether the county should continue giving TSR money to local private hospitals that also perform abortions, or to HCA itself, since the two remaining public county clinics refer pregnant patients to Planned Parenthood to discuss all of their options, including abortion.
That morning, Moorlach sent an e-mail to constituents: "Not to generalize, but when you contact a law firm that specializes in bankruptcies, they most likely will advise you to file for bankruptcy," Moorlach wrote. "If you go to Planned Parenthood, they are most likely to recommend their specialized surgical solution, which they provide and are compensated for, which appears to be a conflict of interest."
Planned Parenthood fought back, threatening to sue and gathering petition signatures from local supporters. In April, the board voted 3-2 to reinstate Planned Parenthood's funding through June (Moorlach and Bill Campbell dissented) and to adopt a new set of policy rules for the next round of grant applications.
The new policy requires that HCA list all the clinics the agency approves for TSR funds and that the clinics specifically outline how the money will be used for direct medical services. Funds can no longer be used for any type of group-education purpose, which includes not only sex education, but also diabetes, cancer, dental and other types of group workshops given at other clinics. The new policy also includes specific caveats for clinics that perform abortions or give abortion counseling.
"The ability to use the money for what the clinics determine the needs are in the community has been hampered," says Isabel Becerra, director of the Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics, a separate nonprofit that works with HCA and oversees the distribution of the TSR funds. "As a funder, the Health Care Agency is acting within their right to determine what the funding is being used for."
Some clinics rely on the TSR funds for up to 30 percent of their budgets. Becerra says they can no longer use the funds for overhead costs, education services or case managers. "For the past eight years, it wasn't restricted to this level," she adds. "Clinics were allowed to design programs that they felt were necessary for their communities."
* * *
In the past month or so, Moorlach has shifted his rhetoric away from abortion, saying now that this is really about money and how it's being spent in the county. "I came here to fight deficits, not abortions," he says.
In a way, Moorlach has returned to his old fight over Measure H. Back in 2000, Moorlach, who was serving as county treasurer, had countered the initiative with Measure G, which restructured Measure H so that a significant amount of the health-care money for the poor would be used instead to reduce the county's bankruptcy debt. The fight, which pitted Moorlach against Measure H proponent Todd Spitzer, a county supervisor at the time, was messy (see R. Scott Moxley's "Behind the Smoke," Nov. 9, 2000) and resulted in an overwhelming vote in favor of Measure H.
"There are programs where federal and state funding allow for providing abortions. It's something we have to administer and can't change. I serve on the Cal Optima board and have never made an issue of that funding," he says. "Measure H is unique, and we do have control over where that money goes."
But should that control be predicated on his and other supervisors' personal moral beliefs? "Abortion funding is very divisive among constituents. If you're going to have half of your constituents upset with it, then why are we there when we're already providing sex education at the schools and have other critical needs?" he asks. "How do you justify it? I think that's probably where most of us are coming from."
Simply put, Moorlach doesn't think Measure H money should go to Planned Parenthood for health and sex education—even if county employees and health-care organizations rely on such education. "We're in a recession; the money goes to community clinics for family and specialty care for families. Is education for STDs and sex education a real high priority? Is that really where the money should be going?" He said no, and the board agreed with him.
He says this doesn't mean he will block Planned Parenthood from receiving funds in the future if they meet the new criteria, which require clinics that perform abortions and are seeking Measure H funds to spend the money in a location where abortions are not performed and to financially separate the funds from money used for abortion services.
Being seen as tough on Planned Parenthood certainly plays well with Moorlach's constituents. At a luncheon two weeks ago at the Pacific Club—an opulent, wood-paneled private establishment in Newport Beach—for the Family Action PAC, guest speaker Moorlach brought up Planned Parenthood. "It's been like dealing with the demon from the pit," Moorlach told the group of about 22, who politely chuckled and sent a soft wave of applause through the room when Moorlach told the story of how the HCA would now be more transparent in disclosing clinics that receive public funding, thanks to the work of the board and an unnamed "constituent" who had pestered him to look into the issue. Bucher, seated next to Moorlach, smiled wide.
When asked later about the demon comment, Moorlach laughs. "There are some organizational names that just invoke some kind of reaction," he says. The demon comment was a reference to some of the e-mails he received from supporters of Planned Parenthood during the March debates—some of which were very polite, some of which "were just attacks," he says. "How is that supposed to help me change my mind?" He notes that his chief of staff met with a Planned Parenthood board member, and he's not averse to having the county fund them in the future.
While all the other clinics had their new proposals approved within the past month, Planned Parenthood's proposal has not been. Their most recent effort to secure funding for a much-needed comprehensive breast-cancer clinic for women younger than 40, who don't qualify for any publicly subsidized treatments, has been rejected several times by HCA. "We were fully confident that our proposal met all their new rules and restrictions," says CEO Jon Dunn. The agency rejected the first application in late April, not because it violated any of the new policy rules, but because it included the hiring of a nurse case manager, which the agency said did not qualify as direct medical-care personnel.
Planned Parenthood has since revised the proposal several times, eliminating the nurse case manager. Gates says they are still openly negotiating the proposal and that the grant is still set aside for Planned Parenthood, pending the HCA's approval. If the agency signs off on the proposal, it won't have to go before the supervisors again, Gates says.
Even so, Dunn remains wary. "One of the things that's been very troubling about this whole process, and I think it leaves little doubt that there's a larger agenda here," he says, "is that every time we attempt to comply with a new rule, there's another new rule."

Investigation of Cointegration of Oil Prices and Russian Market Indices
We perform an econometric analysis of cointegration of the Brent oil price and general and industrial indices of the RTS and MICEX stock exchanges. Positive relation between the oil price and the MICEX industrial index for an oil sector. It is interesting to note that a cointegration between the oil price and industrial RTS index is not detected. A cointegration between the oil price and the general indices is found both for the RTS and the MICEX, and in both cases it is positive. This result differs from those obtained earlier by researchers for other countries where negative influence of the oil price on financial markets was obtained. (in Russian)

Jussel: A state of confusion
Broncos still have shot to be AFC's top seed, despite recent setback
The First Edition and a young Kenny Rogers were bit discombobulated way back in 1968:
… I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Things weren't much better according to The Kinks in 1983:
… Don't know why I feel so bad.
Is it the weather, or am I going mad?
Don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going …
It's a state of confusion.
We're in a state of confusion.
Which brings us to the National Football League of 2013.
I give you Week 15 in the AFC:
■ The top-seeded team, the Denver Broncos, were unable to stop or go against the San Diego Chargers in a 27-20 defeat, in Denver no less.
■ The second-seeded New England Patriots, who could have moved into the driver's seat and gained the top seed with a win, went down in flames to the Miami Dolphins 24-20. The Patriots, who have become famous for pulling out wins in the final seconds, faltered on four straight plays that would have won it, then whined about poor officiating all the way home.
■ The third-seeded Cincinnati Bengals could have moved as high as second seed and been in great position to climb to No. 1 because they hold the tiebreaker over the Patriots — if they could just beat the sub-.500 Pittsburgh Steelers. They could not, falling behind 27-3 at one point before losing 30-20.
I now present to you Week 15 in the NFC:
The top-seeded Seattle Seahawks, who lost the previous week to the San Francisco 49ers, held serve by doing what everyone else does, beating the New York Giants 23-0.
■ From there, however, the second-seeded New Orleans Saints were hammered in St. Louis by the Rams 27-16.
■ The third-seeded Philadelphia Eagles, who had romped to five straight wins, went to Minnesota to play the hapless Vikings. The Eagles, of course, were blasted 48-30 by a team that did not have its star running back, Adrian Peterson. Matt Cassel, who couldn't play in New England or Kansas City, threw for 386 yards and two TDs.
■ The Dallas Cowboys, who could have climbed into a tie at the top with the Eagles in the NFC East and into the playoff seeding picture with a win over the Aaron Rodgers-less Green Bay Packers, pulled boneheaded stunt after boneheaded stunt, giving up a 26-3 halftime lead. Matt Flynn, recently deemed worthless by the Seahawks, Raiders (really?) and Bills, threw four TD passes in the second half to lead the Pack to a 37-36 win.
There you have it, the State of Confusion in the Nerve-racking Football League. Two weeks remain and, obviously, anything and virtually everything is possible.
Somehow, someway, despite a no-show against the Chargers, the Broncos are still hanging onto that top slot, the bye week and home-field advantage in the playoffs.
Their tasks would appear to be minimal, albeit on the road, when they take on 2-12 Houston and 4-10 Oakland. Still, after what we just witnessed, it is obvious the Broncos need to get geared up and need to pay attention.
San Diego frustrated the Broncos by controlling the ball for nearly 40 minutes, keeping Peyton Manning & Co. very much seated and frustrated. Philip Rivers was accurate for the Chargers throughout, and Ryan Mathews ran for 127 yards.
That was the Chargers, not the upcoming Texans or Raiders.
The Texans now have Wade Phillips on the sideline replacing Gary Kubiak, and they have Case Keenum at quarterback. Keenum, a second-year man who is seeing his first action this season, is not Rivers.
And the Raiders have a similar situation with Matt McGloin, a rookie, now their starter at quarterback.
Those two young QBs are just what Denver's struggling defense needs these next two weeks, and they are just what the doctor ordered for the Broncos to retain the top spot in the AFC.
Two wins will go a long way toward clarifying a very confusing condition.

Oscar Pistorius murder trial FREE LIVE STREAM: First witness Michell Burger heard 'blood curdling' screams? [VIDEO]
on Mar 03, 2014 08:16 AM EST
Oscar Pistorius, the once-inspirational "Blade Runner," who sprinted to Olympic fame on two prosthetic legs is now in a courtroom in South Africa facing charges that he murdered his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day of 2013. Live stream the proceedings free by clicking this link.
Pistorius has claimed the killing was the result of a tragic mistaken identity situation and pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors aren't buying it though, charging he murdered her in cold blood after a nasty argument. The first witness, Michell Burger, has testified to hearing "blood-curdling" screams from Pistorius' residence the night of the shooting.
"It was very traumatic," Burger said. "You could hear it was blood-curdling screams. You can't translate it into words. The anxiousness in her voice, and fear. It leaves you cold. She screamed terribly and she yelled for help."
Steenkamp was shot to death in Pistorius' bathroom, through the bathroom door. "I approached the bathroom, armed with my firearm, so as to defend Reeva and I," Pistorius said in a statement. He alleges he panicked when he heard a noise inside the bathroom because he had on stumps rather than his more mobile prosthetic legs.
Steenkamp's mother June, 67, seems to have mixed emotions regarding her daughter's death and Pistorius' innocence. "I want to look at Oscar, really look him in the eyes, and see for myself the truth about what he did to Reeva," June said. "Whatever the court decides at the end of his trial, I will be ready to forgive him ... But first I want to force him to look at me, Reeva's mother, and see the pain and anguish he has inflicted on me. I feel I need that."
South Africa does not have the death penalty, but the Olympian could be facing life in prison, with the chance of parole coming only after 25 years. He could also be handed a lesser sentence if convicted of murder without premeditation, or "culpable homicide."

Sports Briefing
Published: September 25, 2006
WEBB EDGES SORENSTAM -- Annika Sorenstam gave Karrie Webb a bit of a scare in the final round of the Longs Drugs Challenge in Danville, Calif. But Webb, ahead by five strokes after shooting a 66 in the third round, parred the final five holes yesterday for a two-under-par 70 and a one-stroke victory over Sorenstam, who shot a 65.
Webb, of Australia, won her fourth title of the year, tops on the L.P.G.A. Tour. She had a 15-under 273 total on Blackhawk Country Club's hilly Lakeside Course and earned $165,000 to remain second on the money list with $1,873,753. While Webb dropped two strokes on the 155-yard, par-3 seventh after hitting her tee shot into a lake, Sorenstam was making a move in the threesome ahead of her. By the time Sorenstam made a long eagle putt on the par-5 ninth, Webb's lead was down to two.
FIRST PGA TITLE FOR AXLEY -- Eric Axley won the Texas Open for his first PGA Tour title yesterday, closing with a one-over 71 for a three-stroke victory. Axley, a 32-year-old left-hander from Tennessee, had a stretch of 53 consecutive holes without a bogey or worse on the Resort Course at LaCantera Golf Club in San Antonio. He finished at 15-under 265.
KUZNETSOVA TOPS MAURESMO IN FINAL -- Top-ranked Am?e Mauresmo was routed in the final of the China Open in Beijing yesterday, losing, 6-4, 6-0, to Svetlana Kuznetsova. The second-seeded Kuznetsova captured her second consecutive title after winning last week in Bali. Mauresmo had won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
HINGIS WINS TITLE IN INDIA -- Martina Hingis defeated Olga Poutchkova of Russia, 6-0, 6-4, to win the Sunfeast Open in Calcutta. Hingis overcame an erratic serve in the second set to make short work of Poutchkova, winning her second title since coming out of retirement last year.
MONTOYA RELEASED TO JOIN NASCAR -- Juan Pablo Montoya has been released from his Formula One contract with McLaren and is scheduled to test a stock car at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama today. The Nascar team owner Chip Ganassi confirmed Montoya's release yesterday and said he would begin a heavy testing schedule for him immediately. Ganassi said he would enter Montoya in ARCA, Busch Series and Nextel Cup races before the end of the season.
ALLMENDINGER WINS CHAMP CAR RACE -- As the only American racing in the Champ Car Series, A. J. Allmendinger figured it was his national duty to keep a French driver from clinching the championship in the United States. After waiting out a 42-minute red-flag delay in the aftermath of a frightening accident involving the rookie Katherine Legge, Allmendinger held on to win the Champ Car Grand Prix of Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis. In the process, he kept S?stien Bourdais from clinching his third straight series championship.
