Dueling rulings: Courts split on health law clash

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's health care law is snarled in another big legal battle, with two federal appeals courts issuing contradictory rulings on a key financing issue within hours of each other Tuesday.
But the split rulings don't necessarily mean another trip to the Supreme Court for the Affordable Care Act.
And White House spokesman Josh Earnest immediately announced that millions of consumers will keep getting financial aid for their premiums - billions of dollars in all - as the administration appeals the one adverse decision.
In that first ruling, a divided three-judge panel in Washington called into question the subsidies that help millions of low- and middle-income people afford their premiums, saying financial aid can be provided only in states that have set up their own insurance markets, or exchanges.
About 100 miles to the south in Richmond, Virginia, another appeals court panel unanimously came to the opposite conclusion, ruling that the Internal Revenue Service correctly interpreted the will of Congress when it issued regulations allowing health insurance tax credits for consumers in all 50 states.
Split appeals court decisions are a classic route to the Supreme Court. But in this situation, it's far from clear what will happen because the administration still has a legal card to play.
Since the Washington case was decided by a three-judge panel, the administration will ask the full 11-member appeals court to hear the case. The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has seven judges appointed by Democratic presidents, including four by Obama.
If the full court comes out in favor of the administration, the prospect of Supreme Court involvement would be greatly diminished. On the other hand, if the full Washington court stays out of it or, after a hearing, essentially leaves the panel's decision in place, then the Supreme Court would almost certainly weigh in.
Democratic appointees also constitute a majority of the full appeals court in Richmond.
Both cases are part of a long-running political and legal campaign to overturn Obama's signature domestic legislation by Republicans and other opponents of the law.
In the Washington case, Halbig v. Burwell, a group of small business owners argued that the law authorizes subsidies only for people who buy insurance through markets established by the states - not by the federal government.
That's no mere technical distinction, since the federal government is running the markets, or exchanges, in 36 states.
The Washington court agreed with that objection, in a 2-1 decision that could mean premium increases for more than half the 8 million Americans who have purchased taxpayer-subsidized private insurance under the law.
Two judges appointed by Republican presidents voted against the administration's interpretation of the law while one appointed by a Democratic president dissented.
The majority opinion concluded that the law, as written, "unambiguously" restricts subsides to consumers in exchanges established by states. That would invalidate an IRS regulation that tried to sort out confusing wording in the law by concluding that Congress intended for consumers in all 50 states to have subsidized coverage.
"At least until states that wish to can set up exchanges, our ruling will likely have significant consequences both for the millions of individuals receiving tax credits through federal exchanges and for health insurance markets more broadly," wrote Judge Thomas Griffith.
"But, high as those stakes are, the principle of legislative supremacy that guides us is higher still," he added.
Justice Department spokeswoman Emily Pierce said the Washington court got it wrong.
"We believe that this decision is incorrect, inconsistent with congressional intent ... and at odds with the goal of the law: to make health care affordable no matter where people live," Pierce said in a statement.
In Richmond, the three-judge 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel was unanimous in its decision upholding the law's financing. That court said the IRS did a reasonable job of interpreting legal language that is "ambiguous and subject to multiple interpretations."
In a concurring opinion, Judge Andre Davis used pizza as an analogy. He wondered what would happen if he were to ask a friend for ham and pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut, adding that Domino's would be fine as well. If the friend came back with Domino's, that would fulfill his request, he wrote.
The seemingly arcane issue could be crucial to the success of the health law because most states have been unable or unwilling to set up their own exchanges. The inaction stems in many instances from opposition by Republican governors to the Affordable Care Act.
It all revolves around four words in the 900-page law, which says tax credits to help pay premiums are available to people who enroll through an exchange "established by the state."
The challengers to the law say a literal reading of that language invalidates the IRS subsidy to people in the federal exchanges.
The Obama administration and congressional and state legislative supporters of the Affordable Care Act say the challengers are failing to consider the words of the statute in its entirety.
The Supreme Court has considered several challenges to the health care law, most recently ruling that some private companies don't have to cover birth control if it offends religious scruples. The biggest ruling came in 2012, when a divided court let stand the law's core requirement that most Americans carry health insurance or face fines.
The Richmond case is King v. Burwell.

To the Editor:
As a scientist with an active laboratory that explores the inner working of cells (including undifferentiated stem cells), I find it appalling that the Bush administration continues to place roadblocks in our path toward potential lifesaving therapies.
Young cell and molecular biologists are eager to devote their scientific careers to investigating cell differentiation, a process that will surely provide us with valuable information about stem cells and their use in generating new tissues and organs.
It is shameful that nonscientifically curious people can sabotage the advancement of scientific discovery using anachronistic arguments based on religious ideology.
Failure to remove these roadblocks from the pursuit of scientific discovery relating to stem cells will prevent American scientists from doing what they do best: discover, understand, explain and improve lives.

Selena Gomez On Cover Of March 2013 Playboy? Is Anastasia Role Next?
Have you seen thePlayboy magazine March 2013 cover, allegedly of Selena Gomez, making its rounds on the internet? The cover shows what looks like a topless Selena in a scandalous pose, and has rumors flying about its validity. Is this another example of a Disney starlet gone wild?
Nope! The cover is totally photoshopped, as discussed by the women on The Viewthis morning. Selena (along with fellow Disney-grown star, Miley Cyrus) was reportedly offered $2 million for a Playboyspread, but the actress/singer does not seem interested in the offer.
- No Surgery needed natural breast enhancement
- Shy no more! Overcome your anxiety and be yourself
- Speechless around that special someone? Try these "Obsession Phrases" Ads
Selena is starring in the scandalous new film, Spring Breakers (along with another Disney diva, Vanessa Hudgens, and Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson). The movie, a gritty take on self-indulgent and out-of-control youth culture, has everyone talking about the transition in image for its young stars, many of whom gained fame with conservative, squeaky clean personas.
- No Surgery needed natural breast enhancement
- Shy no more! Overcome your anxiety and be yourself
- Speechless around that special someone? Try these "Obsession Phrases" Ads
So, it looks like the "Disney Girl Gone Wild" narrative doesn't apply to Selena in real life. We have to admit, we're glad it's not actually her. It's nice to see the young superstar considering her young fanbase while still taking chances and coming into her own. She even told The Hollywood Reporter that she is worried about her younger fans sneaking into see the R-rated Breakers.
"Honestly, it's been a weird transition," Selena told The Hollywood Reporter. "You never really know what's right or wrong and you can only do the best you can." Well said, Selena!
Did you think the Playboy cover was real? What would you think if it was? Let us know in the comments below!

It's been a trying couple of months but I feel somewhat back on my path and I'm feeling focused and confident about Canoa. The comp in Arizona was as layed back as ever and I was able to sit back and enjoy a few years of work instead of organizing and flying the event, thanks to Jamie.On the way to Arizona looking out over southern New Mexico.I flew a prototype glider produced in September that had the sweetest handling of any T-2 so far. Glide performance seemed intact and I won day 2 on a blazing downwind day into the saguaro national monument area. Distraction was all it took for me to fall down on day 4 and no amount of flying was going to get me back on the podium. All that was left was to sit back and enjoy round after round of black russians in the hot tub.The week after AZ was spent working on the latest prototype at the factory. Along with the new sail mods, I got a bunch of drag reducing tweaks done to my harness and peripheral gear so it was time well spent. Steve and I got to rap about gliders and cool aero ideas and now I'm putting some of that to the test with practical modifications for next week's race. The new wing looks HOT..Spotted this item hanging in the airport terminal in Santa Ana on the way to the factory...From LAX, I flew straight down to Brasil for a two week visit with Manuela. We visited Paraguay, Argentina, and all of the local attractions and had a great time.. it was a real boost of positive energy spending time with her. I skipped the comp that was happening in Carmo do Rio Claro, but I will be sure to catch the next one. It's one of the few sites I haven't seen down there but it sounds like last week's comp suffered some pretty poor weather so hopefully next season is better. Here's a shot before launching on task 6, which was eventually cancelled with a cu-nim on course. Looks amazing. Pictures of this year's Canoa mods will be up soon (a step up from last year's mods, I'm fully aero this year). Here is a sneak peak of a camera soon available from Flytec usa... I will be using it along with a gopro hero to capture various angles of glider mounted HD video of the race course next week so stay tuned.And for the conclusion of my circuit, I ended up with a layover in Newark where I had hoped to go run around NYC for a few hours but got this instead:That 757 has got to be the sweetest, slowest landing airliner I've ever been in.

Brasilia was quite nice this year. The air was smooth, climbs were still strong to 10000 feet most days, winds were lighter than usual. Half the comp was flown through a fog of food poisoned agony, but that half was where I was winning. Once I popped the pills, Jonny slipped by with a 23 point lead going into the last day. Unfortunately the last day was stopped halfway through the task due to storms. Landing in the Esplanada every day was a pleasure as usual. This year the closing ceremony was held there after packing up the gliders, and the atmosphere was strong. The curiosity of the locals here always surprises me coming from the states and they were out in force every day this year. I'm guessing there will be some new pilots here this time next year.Special thanks to the organization this year and the local private hospital. When I was doubled over and without a great deal of money, the organizer of the comp and one of the partners in the hospital both arranged for free treatment and took me past a day-long ER line to get immediate help. Awesome.Anyway, pics.. Read More »
Moving right along - Spent almost two weeks in Zapata again this year. Got a record for the 100km triangle on an after-lunch flight on one of the days because I couldn't think of much else to do on yet another sub par weather day.The two weeks, most of which with my car in the shop, helped me rediscover my motivation to try for the record somewhere else. I need a change of scenery. I have a spot scoped out for next June/July and flying is just one of endless outdoor activites that are possible there. It will be a blast, flying or not, but it's no minor site. Eleven hours soarable air on a good day, interstate highway under you from the first to the 500th mile, hIGH cloudbase, typically strong tailwinds, and you can retry if you landout early. Not as consistent as Zapata (is supposed to be). More consistent than Zapata has been. Need O2, only major drawback.Off to Brasilia, the 2nd stage of the Brazilian nationals right now. I remember thinking I wouldn't go back there after the last time two years ago, but the bump and wind tolerance is rejuvenated after the French trip. Arriving tomorrow morning and the weather is looking good. Always a good time.Kit required for a big one:Landing after 2hr 100km flight:Last year in Zapata before the big one: Read More »

BREAKING NEWS: European Charter & Code for Researchers celebrate 10th Anniversary!
10 years of commitment to better working conditions for researchers
On 3 March 2015, the first two hundred Deans and Rectors from universities and research institutes to have implemented the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers received the 'HR Excellence in Research' Award for their efforts to create attractive working conditions for researchers in Europe.
To mark the event, the European Commission hosted a conference to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Charter and Code, celebrating the creation of an attractive, open and sustainable labour market for researchers in Europe.
"I congratulate the 206 Deans and Rectors who were the first to take up the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers. Attracting and keeping the best minds in Europe is essential for competitiveness" said Research, Science & Innovation Commissioner Carlos Moedas. "The Charter and Code have done well in making working conditions for researchers far more appealing. We want Europe to remain a popular destination for the most talented researchers to pursue their careers. It's very encouraging that more than 1500 research institutions and funders from 40 countries in Europe have endorsed the Charter and Code to improve their human resources policies. This is building a strong foundation of research excellence from which we will benefit long into the future."
While the Charter describes the working relationship between researcher and institution, by setting out the roles, rights and responsibilities of researchers, the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers ensures that the selection process for hiring and promoting researchers is fair, merit-based and transparent. The implementation of the Charter and Code is on a voluntary basis and is the responsibility of employers, funding organisations and researchers.
The 'HR Excellence in Research' award is an easily recognisable indicator showing researchers that an institution is committed to delivering fair recruitment practices and attractive career opportunities. This will hopefully encourage European researchers to be mobile and entice other talented researchers to pursue a career in Europe.
Researchers relentlessly highlight the importance of mobility for their careers: at EU level, 80 % of internationally mobile researchers believe mobility has strongly increased the advancement of their research skills and 62 % believe mobility has had a positive impact on the quality of their research publications.

The Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute provides isolated intestine (small bowel), combined liver-intestine, and multivisceral transplantation for patients who have irreversible intestinal failure. The program has performed more than 450 intestinal and multivisceral transplants which represents more than one-third of the total number of adult transplants worldwide.
Utilizing innovative immunosuppressive protocols, the patient survival has always been above the international average with:
Most surviving patients are free of intravenous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and enjoy an unrestricted oral diet. Equally impressive, is the successful reduction in the number of required medications that patients must take, particularly anti-rejection drugs with dosages now being spaced from every other day to two times per week. The Institute has the longest worldwide adult survivor who is beyond the 18 year milestone with excellent quality of life.
The three main types of intestinal transplantation offered by the Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplantation Center (IRTC) are described below:
First adult small bowel transplant recipient gives birth(Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
Doctors, patients often unaware of intestinal transplant option (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
