June 2012 New York Liberty Schedule

Posted on by

After a rough start to the 2012 WNBA season, June holds more hope for the New York Liberty. That doesn't mean the schedule gets any easier though, as there are some tough opponents waiting for their chance to play the Liberty.

New York has 10 games in the month of June, starting off with two straight games against the undefeated Indiana Fever on June 2 and 3. Later in the month, New York has to take on the Minnesota Lynx as well; the team that leads the Western Conference with a 4-0 record and is the defending WNBA champions.

New York went 0-4 in the month of May, meaning the team can go nowhere but up at this point. They will need to string some wins together quickly though, because the team could quickly play itself out of contention when it comes to the playoff race.

WNBA Live Access will broadcast all of New York's games in June, with MSG picking up coverage for three others.

Liberty Mutual Insurance Celebrates Three Firefighters For Outstanding Heroism And Community Service With The Liberty …

Posted on by

BOSTON, May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Liberty Mutual Insurance, one of the nation's leading home and auto insurers, today is celebrating America's firefighters by announcing the recipients of its National Firemark Award. Lieutenants Paul McAllister and Christopher Seelenbrandt of West Warwick, R.I., are recipients of the Liberty Mutual Firemark Award for Heroism; and Lieutenant Robert Hendrigan of Brockton, Mass., has earned the Liberty Mutual Firemark Award for Community Service and Public Education. For their everyday self-sacrifice and tireless efforts to protect and promote public safety, Liberty Mutual will award the West Warwick (IAFF Local 1104) and Brockton (IAFF Local 144) Fire Departments each with a $10,000 grant in their respective winners' honor.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110607/NE15669LOGO)

A committee comprised of numerous fire safety organizations selected the Liberty Mutual National Firemark Award winners from among a pool of more than 150 firefighter nominees, each of whom had received a local Firemark Award from a Liberty Mutual Insurance office in their community throughout 2011. The selection committee includes representatives from such fire safety groups as the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the National Volunteer Fire Council, the National Fire Protection Association, the National Association of State Fire Marshals, the Society of Fire Protection Engineers, and the Center for Public Safety Excellence.

"The Liberty Mutual National Firemark Award winners exemplify the unique courage and commitment firefighters demonstrate every day to help us prevent the devastation of a home fire and to protect us when they do occur," said Greg Gordon, Liberty Mutual Insurance senior vice president of Marketing. "As a company that also embraces our responsibility to protect lives and homes, it is fitting for us to honor Firefighters McAllister, Seelenbrandt and Hendrigan, and to celebrate the countless men and women career or volunteer who serve our communities so selflessly."

Liberty Mutual National Firemark Award for Heroism

Lieutenant Paul McAllister and Lieutenant Christopher Seelenbrandt, West Warwick Fire Department

On March 1, 2011, the West Warwick Fire Department conducted an ice-rescue training exercise with four new recruits. Little did they know that only hours later two of their more seasoned firefighters would be in freezing Rhode Island pond waters saving the life of an 8-year-old boy who had fallen through thin ice. Lieutenant Paul McAllister was the first out of the truck and he set out across the ice in his survival suit connected to 100 feet of lifeline, falling through the ice three times along the way. About 20 feet short of reaching the panicked child, the rope reached its end. McAllister unhooked himself and continued without his safety line, reaching the young boy just moments before he lost what was left of a tenuous grip on the ice.

Lieutenant Chris Seelenbrandt, following moments later in the department's hazmat vehicle, arrived to find his colleague stranded more than 40 yards from shore, without a lifeline and with the young boy clinging to his neck. Seelenbrandt crept across the ice with 300 feet of lifeline to rescue them both, ultimately relying on the other West Warwick firefighters on shore to tow all three back in. The boy was treated and released from a Providence hospital later that evening.

West Warwick Fire Chief Joseph Baris says the department will earmark the Liberty Mutual grant toward purchasing a new boat, motor and trailer to aid in future water rescues. The department currently relies on a reconditioned inflatable boat; and that craft only recently replaced a 1954 aluminum boat the department was forced to retire after it proved inadequate during the 2010 floods.

Rappers and Same-Sex Marriage: How Much Do You Really Care?

Posted on by

T.I./ Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for AXE

Jay-Z and the new crew of publicly gay-friendly rappers

For those keeping score at home, the list of rappers who are ostensibly in favor of same-sex marriage now includes Ice Cube, T.I., 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar. I don't know this because they made bold, formal statements like Jay-Z. I know this because they were asked by Ad Age, MTV, Vibe, and DJ Drama's Streetz Is Watchin' Sirius/XM radio show, and then their answers were turned into blog fodder and disseminated across the Internet. The impulse to ask rappers what they think about same-sex marriage contributes little to the discussion of this important issue, though it is a page-view win-win: If a rapper is cool with it, well, there's a story; If you ask them and they disagree, well, you've got an even bigger news story. Hopefully, they might slip up and say something homophobic!

As you might expect, all four rappers answered with fairly hedged responses. Ice Cube came the closest to responding like a sensible human when he said this to Ad-Age: "I don't want to discriminate on nobody." None of these answers are painful to read, though T.I., 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar sound pretty unsophisticated. T.I. told MTV: "I don't care...if it's not something that directly affects youwhat difference does it make to you what other people are doing with their lives?" 50 Cent to Vibe: "I think everyone should be happyI don't have strong personal feelings towards it because I'm not involved in that lifestyle, but I want people to be happy." And Lamar to DJ Drama: "I don't give a fuck about people doing what they do. That's your lifestyle...Do what you got to do to be happy. Fuck it man, it's fuckin' 2012, people need to stop crying over some bullshit." I suspect this well-intentioned, half-assed "live and let live" pseudo-libertarianism will become the new hip-hop party line.

Because of how prevalent and unchecked homophobic language has been in hip-hop, the same-sex marriage issue doesn't seem like an unfair topic to broach with a rapper. However, turning rappers into mouthpieces for an entire genre seems unfair, as well as unproductive. Hip-hop's homophobia is treated as a given, which turns any utterance on the issue into a mini-event. How many rappers have to half-heartedly agree with Jay-Z before it stops generating headlines? We're frequently confronted by thinkpieces that highlight open-minded rappers and pockets of "queer rap." Maybe it needs to be acknowledged that perhaps hip-hop is progressing?

Late last week, Pitchfork called out Action Bronson after he posted a photo on his Instagram of a woman on the ground, covered in water. He tweeted along with it, "Close up of drunk Mexican tranny after Bes poured a bottle of water on its head." He later apologized, in typically Bronson-like style: "I love gay people. Trannies not so much." He added, "In no way was I trying to offend anybody from the Gay and Lesbian Community. It wasn't even a transvestite it just honestly looked like one." He also told "everyone" to "blow [him] from the back." The whole thing is terribly insensitive (it may even constitute a hate crime), but not out of character for a rapper who jokes about fucking prostitutes and throws around the insults "half-a-fag" like he's doing shtick from a Scorsese movie.

We shouldn't demand rappers live up to their on-record persona, but we shouldn't be shocked when they do. If they say something enlightened like Jay-Z and, to a lesser extent, Ice Cube, T.I., 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar, well, that's great. Bronson's statements, though, don't say anything more about hip-hop and homophobia than the emphatic support of Jay-Z and the hedged statements that will certainly start coming in more and more often in the coming months and years. Playing the "who's more open-minded?" game however, seems dangerous and besides the point. T.I., 50 Cent, and Lamar probably represent the average American's feelings on the topic. But that makes for a much less interesting story: Rap is maturing at about the same pace as the rest of the country. For every four or five reasonable people out there, you've got one ignorant fuck who thinks it's funny to pour water on a "tranny."

Rappers are presented as violent, vulgar sexists and homophobes, and then they're not only expected to have fully-formed opinions on social issues, but progressive ones. This is an ugly update on the always implicit, often explicit demand that hip-hop, if it is to be lauded and celebrated, must espouse a strong, left-leaning political message. For too many, Public Enemy remains the blueprint for legitimate, significant hip-hop. That ideal is impossible because very few rappers or rap groups will ever be as musically incredible as Chuck D and company. Meanwhile, the actual political messages of hip-hop have far outgrown P.E.'s radical rhetoric. Kanye West made anti-homophobic comments back in 2005. As random as they are, songs from "gangsta" rappers like the late Pimp C and Z-Ro feature pro-gay lyrics. Not to mention, Public Enemy's music contains homophobic lyrics ("The parts don't fit aww shit," from "Meet the G That Killed Me"). This hangover from the '60s, where the clunky rockist ideal that "important" music has to "matter," in an activist sense, now has been updated to include rappers' ability to speak cogently on a particular issue in interviews. An issue, mind you, that until three weeks ago, our own president wouldn't discuss.

UCD's new conservatism class is funded by…conservatives

Posted on by

Students at the University of Colorado Denver will be able to take a new class on conservative thought this summer thanks to the efforts of the Leadership Institute, a Virginia-based organization dedicated to taking campuses back in time. The class, Conservative Political Thought in America, incorporates the writings of some big thinkers from the pantheon of conservatism/libertarianism, like Russell Kirk, Murray Rothbard and George Nash, and will be taught by Department of Political Science instructor Ryan McMaken.

UCD's information on the class, available on the poli-sci department's website, reads, "This is a course covering the intellectual history of American right-wing movements since the New Deal. The course will seek to help students gain a better understanding of these movements by examining the sometimes bitter debate between conservatives and libertarians on the American right." More information is available at a site called http://www.rightwingthought.com, and the Leadership Institute has apparently implemented similar programs at Brown University, the University of Virginia and American University.

It's unclear how many of UCD's other classes are designed by outside organizations with specific agendas a spokeswoman for the university didn't return a call from Off Limits seeking comment, and another UCD employee declined to speak on the record but we're guessing that a class designed by conservatives for conservatives might benefit from a few suggestions for term-paper subjects in Conservatism 101 that deal with the realities of being a conservative today. Here are two possibilities:

How to communicate with an Obama birther or Tea Party member

Conservative political principles have little to do with conspiracy theories about the birthplace of Barack Obama or lowest-common-denominator radio pundits, but you're all under the same GOP tent now. To keep the crazies from voting for like-minded nuts, how do you explain old-school conservative principles?

How to compromise on a candidate

Your candidate campaigned on promises of lower taxes, smaller government and conservative fiscal management. But once he got into office, he signed on to a bill endorsing a gay-marriage ban and then directed millions of dollars to a pet project being financed by a donor one that will actually make government bigger. Oh, and then he cut taxes for the rich, but not for you. Ah, politics. Explain that compromises can be hard to take and what a conservative can do to rationalize what is happening.

News cycle: With so many topics to handle in this election cycle, students in UCD's new class on conservative political thought may not have time to take on bike sharing. But that wasn't the case back in 2010, when GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes insinuated that Denver B-cycle was part of a mysterious United Nations plot.

But perhaps they should be concerned after all. According to Denver Bike Shares director Parry Burnap, B-cycle is trying to help poor people. In 2011, the nonprofit received a $25,000 grant from the Kaiser Foundation's LiveWell Colorado to help B-cycle recruit users from poor neighborhoods and people living in Denver Housing Authority projects. It wasn't an easy task: To check out one of the red bikes, you need a credit card something a lot of low-income people don't have and you have to deal with throngs of hipsters standing in line with you. So B-cycle issued free annual passes in card form to some people and waived the usage fees.

But it didn't work, at least not right away. "The response was startlingly low," Burnap says. But B-cycle tried again this year and is getting a better reaction. "It's a complicated process," she notes. "This should be a transportation alternative for everyone, not just early adopters, who, according to our surveys, tend to be wealthy, well-educated and white. We want to make it accessible and affordable for everyone. We are not there yet."

The Harm in Hate-Speech Laws

Posted on by

Author Jeremy Waldron — and those like him who reject libertarianism — would be unlikely to take notice of Rothbardian criticism of hate-speech laws. But another line of inquiry might be of more interest to them. We can ask how good Waldron's arguments are if we judge them on their own merits.

PCH announces health care scholarship winners

Posted on by

PARIS The Paris Community Hospital Volunteers recently announced the winners of three health care scholarships for the 2012-2013 school year.

Two of the recipients are graduating high school seniors and the third is a registered nurse who will continue her health care education.

High school seniors Alexis Fiscus and Lauren Funkhouser of Paris each will receive a one-year, $1,000 college scholarship to further their education in the healthcare field. In addition, Leslie Brown, Wound Care Center manager at PCH, will receive a one-year, $1,000 scholarship to advance her nursing education.

Fiscus, who attends Paris Cooperative High School, will pursue a nursing degree at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. She recently completed the Health Occupations Program at PCH/FMC, which helps students prepare for their certified nursing assistant state exam.

I want to specialize in emergency medicine with the hope of one day becoming a flight nurse, she said. I have chosen nursing because there is no greater contribution I can think of to give back to my community.

Funkhouser, who is homeschooled, will pursue a degree as a physical therapy assistant at Lake Land College.

I have always been fascinated by the human body and how God created it to function, she said. My desire is to see people enjoy their physical life because of the care I am able to provide.

Brown, a Marshall resident and wound care-certified nurse at PCH/FMC, will pursue certification as a wound, ostomy and continence nurse through the WebWOC Nursing Education Program. The School of Nursing at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, Minn., is the academic partner for the online program.

I have been a nurse since 1995 and cant imagine not having a career in healthcare, she said. Helping people get better is a wonderful thing.

The PCH Volunteers conduct several events throughout the year to help fund the annual scholarships, including chocolate sales and book sales. Funds for the scholarships also come from proceeds from the hospital gift shop.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Will Do Neither

Health care reform is flawed. Here are some better ways to fix it.

By Michael G. Manes

PPACA will not protect patients and it won't make care affordable. It adds 2,000-plus pages of legislation, hundreds of thousands of pages of regulation and enough lawyers, consultants and actuaries to fill fleets of large cruise ships.

The system we have today is not sustainable and neither is PPACA. The marketplace has two years to find a solution. What follows is opinion:

Traditional health care and health care financing are houses divided. The patients using care want it all. Premium payers and taxpayers funding these costs are looking to reduce expenses. Typically, 5 percent of the population consumes more than 50 percent of the costs.

Third-party reimbursement (Medicare, Medicaid and insurance) has insulated and isolated the users from the direct cost for care and the spreading of the premiums and taxes over nearly the entire population allowed "payers" to ignore the problem we have.

Providers are paid for sickness instead of being rewarded for wellness. Defensive medicine and malpractices issues encourage more care than is necessary. Patients have bestowed a "god-like" power to practitioners and so they rarely challenge the provider of services about the costs or necessity of care.

Our system has evolved from a holistic "Marcus Welby" model to a system of "organs du jour." Our cultural desire for instant gratification seeks care immediately, not allowing the body to heal itself (which it often does). Super-specialization offers some advantages but this comes at a substantial cost.

There aren't enough MDs to meet tomorrow's needs yet the politics of yesterday is limiting the ability of other qualified professionals to maximize their expertise and help fill this shortfall.

As individuals we are made up of mind, body and spirit. The majority of illness and many accidents originate in the head. This includes issues of stress, addiction, mental and nervous conditions, hypochondria, loneliness, distraction, etc. Studies also show clear evidence of the healing power of prayer for those that believe. Our delivery and financing systems were built to reward treatment of illness with few incentives for wellness, limited reimbursement for issues of the head and ignored the soul.

Aetna CEO Says Supreme Court Won’t Drop Entire Health Law

U.S. Sets Duties as High as 26% on China Wind-Tower Imports

By Alex Nussbaum - 2012-05-30T16:47:51Z

The U.S. Supreme Court probably wont overturn President Barack Obamas entire health-care law, and provisions forcing insurers to cover more medical care may survive no matter who wins the November elections, Aetna Inc. (AET)s chief executive officer said.

The health-care overhauls future hinges on the outcome of this years races for Congress and the White House and, beyond that, discussions over how to trim the U.S. debt and budget deficit, Mark Bertolini, head of the nations third-biggest health insurer, said today during an investor conference.

The 2010 law will extend health coverage to about 32 million Americans by 2016, at a net cost of $1 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. If the law survives the courts decision expected next month, Republicans are likely to go after its funding next year, especially if they keep control of the House while retaking the U.S. Senate, Bertolini said.

Youll see a battle through the budget process with Republicans vying to defund the Affordable Care Act, he said at a Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. conference in New York.

The court is considering a challenge to the laws requirement that all Americans get health insurance or pay a penalty. If thats found unconstitutional, the justices might strike down the entire legislation. Bertolini said he expected a more limited ruling.

No Republican in Congress voted for the health-care act in 2010 and many of the lawmakers have introduced bills that would repeal part or all of it. The partys presumptive presidential nominee, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, has said he intends to eliminate the health overhaul should he defeat Obama.

Even if Republicans control Congress and win the White House in November, many of the laws regulations will survive in some form, Bertolini said. That includes provisions allowing parents to keep children on their health plan until age 26 as well as a ban on benefit limits.

Youll see this big movement for repeal but youll very quickly hear replace he said. Nobody on either side of the aisle is willing to tell families, you know that 26-year-old you got covered under your policy? You cant do that anymore. Or You know that kid thats survived cancer and is hitting his limits on health-care costs? Were going to put the limits back on the kid.

1.3 million veterans lack health coverage

Posted on by

By Allison Linn

More than 1.3 million working-age veterans dont have health insurance and are failing to take advantage of health care available through Veterans Affairs, a new study finds.

Researchers at the Urban Institute used census data to estimate health insurance coverage for veterans aged 19 to 64.

While veterans are more likely to have health insurance than the general population, about 1 in 10 of the nearly 12.5 million veterans under age 65 do not have health coverage either through the VA or other insurers.

The rates of uninsurance appear to be especially high for veterans under age35.

They are disproportionately younger, and they appear to have served more recently, said Genevieve Kenney, a senior fellow with the Urban Institute and co-author of the report.

Kenney said the uninsured veterans also tended to have lower incomes and lower levels of education and were less likely to be full-time workers than the veterans with health coverage.

Contrary to popular belief, veterans are not automatically eligible for health care coverage once they leave the military. Jacob Gadd, deputy director for health care with the American Legion, said health coverage is generally provided to the poorest and the most badly injured of those who have served.

For example, combat veterans are eligible for five years of free medical care for any service-related issues. Other veterans can get at least some coverage for injuries if they can prove they are related to their service.

Freedom of Information requests up by 8% in 2011

Posted on by

The report shows that there were 12,581 requests for personal information in 2011 - an increase of 17% on 2010.

Requests from journalists fell to 11% from 14% in 2010.

Requests to the Department of Education rose 47% over 2010 and requests to the Department of Social Protection rose by 29%.

The report also shows the largest number of FoI requests in 2011 were to the Health Service Executive at 6,141, up from 5,479 in 2010.

Speaking at the launch of her annual report, Ms O'Reilly said a blanket veto on the National Asset Management Agency coming under the FoI Act is not the appropriate thing to do.

She said there has been push back from NAMA Chairman Frank Daly against that body being covered under the Act.

She said Mr Daly may have his reasons for resisting FoI cover, but if he believes FoI will harm NAMA that should be debated and the possible harms identified.

The Information Commissioner said the Programme for Government includes a commitment to extend FoI cover to all public bodies, such as NAMA, the Central Bank, An Garda Sochna and VECs, and she understands that legislation is being prepared.

She said she had no information at this stage that NAMA's exclusion from FoI has been accepted by the Department of Public Expenditure.

Ms O'Reilly also said she does not think the Government is aware that a "major roadblock" has been put in place preventing adopted people accessing information relating to their origins following a Supreme Court ruling last year.
