Libertarian VP nominee and former judge endorses Prop. S

Posted on by

IMPERIAL BEACH Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee and former California Superior Court Judge Jim Gray on Friday endorsed a ballot measure to lift Imperial Beachs ban on medical marijuana collectives.

Gray, a former federal prosecutor and long-standing advocate to end the war on drugs, told U-T San Diego that drug prohibition is the biggest failed policy in our history, second only to slavery.

At a news conference in Imperial Beach Friday, Gray endorsed not only Proposition S, also known as the Safe Access Ordinance of Imperial Beach, but three other ballot initiatives seeking regulation and access for Southern California patients to medical marijuana: propositions H in Del Mar, W in Solana Beach and T in Lemon Grove.

He said that despite federal crackdowns, local governments are entitled to pass laws that are not consistent with federal laws. He compared the state and local movements for safe access with the beginning of the end for alcohol prohibition. That movement was led by states fed up with the increased criminal activity that came with prohibition.

Gray is running on the Libertarian ticket with presidential nominee and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson.

Eugene Davidovich, a member of the San Diego chapter of Americans for Safe Access, which sponsored the citizen-led initiative in Imperial Beach, said Grays endorsement is a boon.

We have a well-respected figure in the judicial system, a judge from the Superior Court of Orange County, a very conservative part of Southern California, coming down now to draw attention to the fact that patients need safe access to medical marijuana, Davidovich said. Its very significant that its not only a retired judge, but a vice presidential nominee, and its a city right on the border with Mexico, a place where there are a lot of problems related to the illegal drug trade.

Proposition S has received endorsements from across the political spectrum, Davidovich added: The San Diego County Democratic Party, the Libertarian Party and the Green Party of San Diego County.

Republican-endorsed City Council candidate Erika Lowery has also formally voiced her support for the measure.

A recent federal crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries across California has some local governments backing down from regulations allowing them under the states 1996 Compassionate Use Act.

Kansas Man Pleads Guilty to Health Care Fraud

Posted on by

A former executive with a Topeka-based non-profit corporation has pleaded guilty to scheming to steal more than $2 million in Medicaid funds

From about 2007 to 2011, Sellers was involved with several Topeka area sports teams. In addition to billing Kansas Health Solutions for sports equipment and uniforms for sports teams, Sellers used some of the stolen money to build and furnish a $375,000, 3,755-sq. ft. home on 11 acres in Lyndon, Kansas.

Medicaid funds are state and federal money that were administered in Kansas by the Kansas Health Policy Authority and the Kansas Department of Health And Environment, Division of Healthcare Finance. In order to manage community-based mental health services for Medicaid recipients, Kansas Medicaid contracted with Kansas Health Solutions in Topeka. Kansas Health Solutions was responsible for overseeing a provider network that provided all community-based health services covered under the contract with Kansas Medicaid.

Sentencing is set for January 17. The parties are recommending a sentence of three years in federal prison and restitution of more than $2 million.

HSPH Study Suggests Health Care is a Deciding Factor for Voters

Posted on by

Barack Obama wins three to one against Mitt Romney among those voters who say that health care is their primary concern, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health learned. Overall, with voters ranking health care as the second most important factor in determining their presidential choice for the first time since 1992, Obamas lead among that category of voters may prove significant.

With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, weve started a debate about one of the biggest pieces of health care legislation in U.S. history, said Robert J. Blendon, a School of Public Health professor who authored the study. Because its so large and so controversial, it really has become a voting issue.

Controversy over Obamas 2010 health care legislation, combined with campaign trail talk about Medicare policy, shifted voters attention to the issue of health care, Blendon said.

With Romney pledging to repeal Obamas Affordable Care Act and to follow his vice presidential candidate Paul D. Ryans plan to offer seniors a fixed voucher for either private insurance or Medicare, the divide between the candidates positions on health care seems stark.

Suddenly, you have two candidates representing vastly different policies on different elements of health care, and voters are taking notice and beginning to choose sides. Three times to one, that side was with Obama, Blendon said.

John M. Benson, a research scientist at the School of Public Health, said, We are always interested in what role health care has in the election. We wanted to, in this case, look at the issues that have been in the campaign, which would be the ACA, Ryans Medicare proposal, block grants for Medicaid, and more restrictions on abortionthe big four health care issues...and to look at the people who said health care and Medicare specifically was going to alter their vote.

To measure the significance of issues to the voters, Benson, Blendon, and their colleagues gathered polling data from citizens nationwide. After determining that a subject was registered and planning to vote in the 2012 election, poll administrators presented subjects with a list of issues: the economy and jobs, health care and Medicare, federal budget deficit and taxes, abortion, the war in Afghanistan, and immigration. They asked, What is your single top issue when it comes to your choice of a presidential candidate?

For 51 percent of the respondents, the economy and jobs was the most important issue. Health care and Medicare beat out the other options with 20 percent of votes.

Those who selected health care as their top issue were then presented with sets of issues that presidential candidates are talking about regarding nationwide health care and the candidates respective stances. Participants chose the specific decisions important to them.

The last time health care ranked as so many voters main concern was 20 years ago, when former President Bill Clinton ran in 1992 on implementing nationwide health insurance.

2 Connecticut health care operators file RICO lawsuit

Posted on by

By Rich Scinto, Register Staff rscinto@newhavenregister.com / Twitter: @rscinto_nhr

Healthbridge and CareOne jointly filed a RICO lawsuit against two Service Employees International Union affiliates just days before the union strike at five Connecticut nursing homes, including one in Milford, reaches its 100th day.

The companies claim United Healthcare Workers East, SEIU 1199 and New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1119 have engaged in a long-term pattern of sabotage, intimidation and other acts of extortion, according to a release from CareOne Management.

The nursing homes are in Danbury, Newington Stamford, Milford and Westport. About 700 strikers took to the picket lines in July to protest what they say are imposed labor concessions.

District 1199 representatives said the lawsuit is another desperate attack on union members.

The announcement of HealthBridges lawsuit against its own employees is just the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the company that has no basis in either fact or law, said David Pickus, president of SEIU District 1199 in a statement. HealthBridge has repeatedly filed charges at the labor board against the union that were then quietly withdrawn or dismissed.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Statute is a federal law enacted in 1970 as part of the Organized Crime Control Act.

It doesnt necessarily apply only to organized crime, but thats certainly the paradigm, said W. John Thomas, a professor in the School of Law at Quinnipiac University who specializes in health policy law.

Thomas said that RICO lawsuits arent unheard of in similar situations.

Its certainly an extreme tactic, Thomas said. Ive never seen it used successfully in this type of situation.

The Antidote To Your Burning Health Care Questions

Posted on by

As we approach the presidential election in November, Weekend Edition is seeking your questions about issues and candidates in a new segment called Reporter Hotline. This week, we answer inquiries about health care.

Question from Bob Dunne of Cedar Park, Texas: "Why do you have to work to maintain health insurance? In other words, I know many people who won't quit their jobs because they're not working for the salary; they're working for the health insurance."

iStockphoto.com

Answer from NPR's Julie Rovner: "Well, you have to go back to World War II the U.S. had wage and price controls, but also a labor shortage because so many men were part of the war effort. So one of the ways employers started to differentiate themselves was by boosting benefits, and health insurance was one of those benefits they started offering. After the war, there was a huge boom in hospital building, so it made sense for more people to have hospital insurance, and our system kind of grew up as an employer-based one.

"By the time health care got so expensive that insurance was a real necessity rather than something that was just a nice fringe benefit, which was around the 1970s really we as a country were sort of settled into the idea of having that employer-based system. In fact, it was President Richard Nixon who first proposed the idea of getting everyone covered by requiring all employers to provide health insurance to their workers. That came in response to the Democrats' proposal of that same era to have a tax-funded insurance plan for everyone.

"Later on, the Democrats would pick up Nixon's idea and propose that so-called employer mandate. In response, Republicans came up with the idea of requiring individuals to have their own coverage, which is of course what ended up passing first in Massachusetts under then-Gov. Mitt Romney, and then in the Affordable Care Act, which we have today."

Question from Majal Perry of Monterey, Ky.: "I really want to know what each candidate's health care solution would specifically mean for me and other women like me, who are in their mid-20s, working, but low- to lower-mid-income and without insurance. How would their plans cover me should I ever choose to have children?"

Answer from Rovner: "Well, you're one of those people who would likely face a very stark difference between the two candidates' plans. Under the Affordable Care Act, starting in 2014, you'll likely be able to afford your own insurance through one of the health care exchanges, and you'll probably qualify for a subsidy. Insurance companies also won't be able to charge you more because you're a woman of child-bearing age, and they will have to cover maternity benefits. None of those things are true now.

"Gov. Romney hasn't told us enough about what he would do to replace the Affordable Care Act, which he wants to repeal, to know if he'd offer any of those same protections. He does have some proposals he said would improve competition and potentially lower prices for insurance for people like you, though."

Question from Patrisha Thomson of Los Angeles: "A social worker I know who works in the medical field was telling me that many doctors are not accepting Medicare patients because they're not receiving the amount of money that really makes it a reasonable income. I would be interested to know how prevalent that is. And if that's true, what has changed?"

Freedom 49, Pittsburg 48

Posted on by

In a battle that many anticipated might swing the balance of the Bay Valley Athletic League football landscape, the Freedom High football team outlasted host Pittsburg 49-48 on Friday.

A blocked PAT kick by Darrell Daniels with 3:30 left in the game proved the difference.

"I just went all out and dove and the ball hit my helmet," said Daniels, who had 143 yards from scrimmage and scored twice.

Pittsburg would get the ball back with 1:21 remaining and no timeouts, but an interception by Christian Montion sealed the win with 30 seconds to go.

It was a see-saw battle the entire game with both teams holding 14-point leads at one point. The Pirates (4-3, 1-1 BVAL) built a 42-28 second-half lead behind a rushing attack that gained over 360 yards and produced all seven of their touchdowns. Harris Ross lead the ground attack with 169 yards on 14 carries.

"We bent but didn't break," Freedom coach Kevin Hartwig said of his defense. "Well, we broke, but mended things back together in time to make a play at the end."

Freedom quarterback Dante Mayes broke the 42-42 tie with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Daniels with 7:28 left in the game. It was his fourth scoring pass of the night. The first three went to running back Joe Mixon, who also rushed for a score and threw for one out of the wildcat formation.

"It was a great game," Pittsburg coach Victor Galli said. "It's a big win for Freedom. They're a good football team. Disappointed

Neither team wasted anytime displaying its offensive prowess.

Despite Mayes -- the Falcons' regular starting quarterback -- beginning the game on the sidelines, Freedom (5-2, 2-0) took the opening possession and scored on a 38-yard end-around run by receiver Daniels after just six plays.

Wooden 'Plyscrapers' new eco-friendly solution for future housing

Posted on by

London, Oct 13 (ANI): Both architects and engineers are reviving the use of wood as a quick and eco-friendly solution to modern construction that produces large amount of carbon footprint.

The recent completion of an eight-storey wooden office block in Austria and a nine-storey residential block in London shows how the "plyscraper" are fast becoming a reality.

The LCT One building in Dornbirn, Austria, is a "hybrid" building that is made up of both wood and concrete and is designed by Austrian architectural firm Cree, the Daily Mail reported.

The building assembled from solid panels made off-site from layers of wood and other materials, has a central concrete core housing its lifts and utilities.

From a concrete foundation, vertical posts of glue-laminated wood (known as glulam) provide support to hybrid floor panels made from more glulam beams that are embedded in reinforced concrete.

Made from sticking together smaller pieces of wood to create structural elements with a higher tensile strength than steel, glulam can resist compression better than concrete, but weighs a lot less and is more sustainable.

The firm claims that prefabricating the glulam elements of the building off-site, cuts construction time by half and guarantees quality and slashes the carbon footprint of the buildings.

Nabih Tahan, an architect with Cree, told The Institute of Engineering and Technology, "We want to make buildings like car companies make cars, or computer companies make computers, using an industrial process and a systems approach."

"To get good performance out of buildings, you can't keep making them chaotically piece by piece on site, cutting things in the rain. You need to design them right and have a step-by-step organised process," he said.

British architects Waugh Thistleton calculated that they avoided producing nearly 125 tons of carbon dioxide in building in what is so far the world's tallest modern timber structure, a nine-storey Stadthaus building.

Initiative to help solve unfilled jobs in aerospace industry

Posted on by

An initiative announced Friday aims to solve an ironic problem with Ohios economy in spite of high unemployment rates there are more than 10,000 unfilled jobs in the states aerospace industry.

Wright State University will be home to the Aerospace Professional Development Center, a first-of-its-kind outreach initiative in Ohio to train, educate and attract skilled workers into the ranks of the aerospace industry, officials said Friday.

Ohio has more than 10,700 unfilled jobs in the aerospace and defense-related industries, according to state Sen. Chris Widener, R-Springfield.

The Aerospace Professional Development Center will close that gap, Wright State University President David R. Hopkins said at a press conference Friday that unveiled the initiative.

The university will spend $8 million in state funding on the initiative gained through casino license fees.

The focus on jobs arrives at a time when other states, particularly Georgia and Alabama, have competed aggressively to attract aerospace work from Ohio, Widener said.

Our claim today is you better step up because you cant have our aerospace industry jobs, he said.

The aerospace and defense sector counts 100,000 workers and 1,200 companies in Ohio alone, officials said.

Aerospace firms face an aging workforce with one estimate that about half of the employees at the top 20 firms nationwide will be eligible for retirement by 2016, according to an Aerospace Industries Association official.

At the same time, economic development leaders have pinned their hopes on the Miami Valley becoming a leader in the burgeoning unmanned aerial vehicle industry.

Challenge to European DNA records

Posted on by

12 October 2012 Last updated at 12:42 ET

A legal challenge to the retention of DNA samples by police in Northern Ireland could have repercussions across Europe, Belfast High Court has heard.

The test case has been brought by convicted drink driver Fergus Gaughran.

His lawyers argued DNA profiles and fingerprints of those found guilty of lesser offences should not be retained.

They want a European ruling which found it was unlawful to hold samples from people arrested but later acquitted to be extended to cases like Gaughran's.

Our case is that the collection of this information and the indefinite retention on the police computer systems is unlawful

Newry-based solicitor Paul Fitzsimons predicted potentially huge consequences if the judicial review challenge succeeds.

He said: "If there is a judgment upholding our client's position it could lead to the destruction of vast amounts of police records built up in Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom and throughout Europe."

Mr Fitzsimons issued legal proceedings on behalf of Gaughran, who was stopped at a police checkpoint in Camlough, County Armagh three years ago.

Gaughran failed a breath test and was subsequently convicted and disqualified from driving for a year.
