What We've Learned: Helping Remaining Uninsured Obtain Health Coverage
Georgetown Center for Children and Families | October 31, 2016 [ View Original Source (opens in new window) ]
By Benjamin Kerman and Annmarie Benedict, The Atlantic Philanthropies
It's been almost three years since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) went into full effect. During that time, 13 million people gained health insurance coverage. With open enrollment starting tomorrow, communities have another opportunity to extend the ACA's benefits to the estimated 29 million Americans who remain uninsured. Among them are 4 million kids who are at risk for delayed or inadequate care because they still lack basic health coverage.
Our efforts to do better will be advanced through understanding and action. Who are these children and where do they live? Children who are uninsured are still concentrated in low-income families. Children living in households with income below $25,000 have an uninsured rate of 7.5 percent, more than twice those in high-income households (those with income at or above $100,000). Black and Hispanic children are more likely to lack insurance than those who are white or Asian. Nearly forty percent of all uninsured children live in just three states—Texas, California, or Florida—and as a percentage of children in the state, more than 10 percent of children in Alaska, Arizona, and Texas remain uninsured.
States and cities facing up to their responsibilities can lead the way. It's not easy to reach the families of these children, nor to give them the information and help they need to sign up their kids for health insurance. But we know certain strategies work better than others. Through grants to national and state advocacy organizations and city-sponsored coalitions, Atlantic Philanthropies has learned that it takes "boots-on-the-ground" outreach and enrollment efforts. The most successful projects formed strong community partnerships among city government agencies, public health departments, school systems, and community-based organizations with roots in low-income neighborhoods. It also helps when application systems made it simple to enroll. States that expanded Medicaid coverage to low-income adults are also more likely to sweep children into the coverage net.
Innovation opens new paths to increase coverage but neither new approaches nor application of validated strategies under new conditions guarantee success. Frequent checks to see what works, and what does not, can guide us forward. Communities participating in an outreach and enrollment project sponsored by Atlantic that collected data on all of their outreach and enrollment efforts had real-time information to indicate which efforts were effective, or whether they should try something else. For example, in Garden City, Michigan, the city's initial outreach strategy of providing school-based outreach and enrollment at parent-teacher conferences did not lead to the anticipated "flood" of people interested in information nor an expected increase in enrollment appointments. Similarly, the team in Hattiesburg, Mississippi also expected schools to be their primary source for accessing children and families, but they also found a low response to school-based outreach efforts. As a result, both cities shifted efforts, until they found strategies that worked in their cities. In Garden City, the team had success when they included inserts about health insurance with the city's water bill mailings. In Hattiesburg, the team found success by providing enrollment assistance at centers for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
Advocates working to change state policy must also pivot in response to changes in the political landscape. For example, in 2011, Mississippi-based advocates sponsored by Atlantic supported a state-based exchange and Medicaid expansion for low-income adults, believing both would benefit many impoverished Mississippians. Although substantial progress was made on the state-based exchange throughout 2011, when a new governor took office in January 2012, he made it clear he would not implement any aspects of the ACA. Realizing the time was not ripe for ACA implementation, the advocates shifted gears, focused their resources on eliminating any bureaucratic or administrative barriers in Medicaid and CHIP, in order to make it easier for families eligible for these public coverage options to enroll or renew their coverage.
Decades of experience conducting campaigns to enroll poor children in Medicaid and CHIP programs have shown the importance of ongoing outreach. We need to transfer that experience to campaigns to help families enroll in health insurance exchanges, so they can qualify for subsidies that help them afford coverage for parents and their children. As we get ready for the upcoming open enrollment that begins November 1st, state and local governments, schools, community organizations, and advocates must come together to ensure no child goes without coverage. Two new resources (see below) from Mathematica Policy Research, made possible by Atlantic's support, can help people in every state and community design outreach strategies that work.

We present our work of the last 50 years to the Lord. It is represented by the different generations who have lived, worked and struggled together with the Sisters during all these years. It also represents our commitment to continue the work of evangelization because of the testimony of their lives, given to God, in the town of Carabayllo.
With the call of Vatican II, Canadian missionaries (priests and religious) arrived in Carabayllo. From the beginning of the mission, with the challenges posed in the documents of the Council, biblical study of our reality was very present in the first Christian communities animated by the Sisters. It was basic to their faith to seek the well-being of all those who lived on the hillsides, all those who demanded from the different levels of government (through paperwork and marches) basic services for a life worthy of God's children. Receive Holy Father all the effort of this generation, to fulfill your word in daily life.
Faith in action ... The Latin American Episcopal Conference guided our pastoral work in its different fields. One area was working with the poor through education and preventive organization to face the difficulties that they experience in the areas of health. The first document was Medellín (1968), which told us what the role of the church was in the current transformation of America in the light of the Council. The second was Puebla (1979), which challenged us with the suffering faces of Christ. The last one was Aparecida (2007), which re-thought the preferential option for the poor. Therefore in Carabayllo, in the field of health, professionals and settlers along with the Sisters promoted the medical station, preventative measures in each area through health delegates and attention to cases of extreme need. All this walking in service of the community we place in your lap, Lord of Health.
This generation of university students receives Christ's legacy of how to live our Faith in LIFE, from the testimonies of holy men and women, men and women committed to the People of God. The Sisters welcomed into their lives the spirituality of St. Vincent de Paul. Vincent challenges us to live the affective and effective love, especially toward the poor. The Sisters also introduced us to Blessed Oscar Romero who was the voice of the voiceless and who experienced martyrdom because of his defense of the most abused of the Salvadoran people. In a similar way the Sisters presented us with the Peruvian theologian, Father Gustavo Gutiérrez. Right to this present day he helps us understand and practise our faith in daily living through Liberation Theology. The Sisters affected our ecclesial history by the dedication of their lives to the project of the integral liberation of humans. May the Holy Father receive the vitality of these young people as a promise to follow Him and to persevere.
This generation of adolescents receives the legacy of the fruit of the years of struggle of their parents and grandparents who, motivated by their faith, demanded from the State health services, education, water, electricity and quality transportation as well as respect for labor rights, rights of women and children and adolescents. Receive, O God, from the hands of these adolescents who are the hope of the church and of society, the promise of the continuity of this work which seeks the common good.
Our children and grandchildren, bring before you God, the Word that feeds, that sustains and that illuminates our path yesterday, today and always. They bring the Word in the hands of these three children, who encouraged by their domestic and local church, will grow in the practice of the Word of God. Two sister countries, Canada and Peru, have been united for fifty years in the Action and Contemplation of the Word. Receive Loving Father this promise of continuing with the evangelizing work, wherever we are.
Sister Sandra, Superior of the Congregation and Sister Joey, who represents one of the four Sisters who came to Carabayllo on December 10, 1967, bring before you Lord the bread and the wine that are the fruit of the work of humans in the field and in the city. They work to forge a just and egalitarian world. Receive their work Lord.

Mystery Men return… On Blu-ray
David Konow
I've been a fan of Ben Stiller since The Ben Stiller show on MTV, and it's a trip to see that Zoolander is now being hailed as a legendary comedy.
Ben's created a lot of great characters, it's also great he insists his father Jerry be in all of his movies, and he's also got a fantastic little obscure film that may finally be getting its due on Blu-ray.
As you may recall, Mystery Men hit theaters in the summer of 1999, but it was bulldozed by a little movie called The Sixth Sense. It received good notices, and is of course what you'd call a "cult film" today.
A screenwriter who wrote a legendary cult film himself once joked to me that when you make a cult film, the cult consists of people who don't pay to go see a movie. But again, Mystery Men may have another chance soon, thanks to Blu-ray.
Mystery Men was created by Bob Burden, and co-produced by Dark Horse Comics publisher Michael Richardson, who also managed to turn Tank Girl and The Mask into films. Mystery Men stars Stiller, Hank Azaria, Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman), William H. Macy, and Geoffrey Rush, among many others in a wonderfully bizarre cast.
As Macy, who has certainly played his share of schlubs, explained in a behind the scenes special, "It's about loser superheroes, that's all you have to say and people go, 'Oh, I can't wait to see that!" Reubens also added, "It's about misfits, people who really don't fit, but they have something to offer."
So yeah, the Mystery Men aren't as dashing or amazing as Batman or Spider-Man, but it should be especially fun to go back and see the film today now that comic book movies are better than ever.
Movieline calls it "The Anti-Dark Knight Rises," as well as "an anomalously charming and amiably goofy superhero film." With today's superhero culture, it should be a lot of fun and very refreshing to see much different heroes than the usual Marvel and DC boys.

PA: Leaks disclose fierce battle over who will succeed Abbas
December 28, 2022 at 12:38 pm | Published in: Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas attends the 43rd Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. [Royal Court of Saudi Arabia - Anadolu Agency]
A fierce battle is currently taking place over who will succeed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, the Shehab News Agency reported.
The news site said a leak from a senior PA official, which was purportedly attributed to PA Minister for Civil Affairs, Hussein Al-Sheikh, appears to show the minister expressing anger that Abbas "is intentionally causing chaos" in the occupied West Bank.
READ: 2022 the worst year for political detention by Palestinian Authority
He also attacked PA Intelligence Chief Majed Faraj, a close aide to Abbas, insulting him.
"I am telling you that Abu Mazen [Abbas] is a partner in the chaos and he has an interest in it," he said. "I am sorry to tell you this."
He expected that Abbas is laying the ground for his Fatah deputy Mahmoud Al-Aloul to succeed him, pointing out that the PA security services and part of Fatah's Central Committee are involved in the issue of identifying Abbas' heir.

Transportation, Environment, and Health, M.Eng.
Transportation-related air pollution (e.g., ground-level ozone and particulate matter pollution) is an issue of significant importance in the U.S. and across the world.
A large number of published epidemiologic and chronic exposure studies have concluded that fine particles from transportation sources are an important risk factor for cardiopulmonary disease, increased children's asthma rates and premature death, lung cancer death, and substantial loss of average life expectancy. The M.Eng. in Transportation, Environment, and Health is an innovative, multidisciplinary program aimed at training professionals that will meet the complex challenges at the intersection of transportation, environment, and health for systems analytics and management. The multidisciplinary curriculum is designed in parallel with the world-class research of faculty and researchers at Cornell University, leveraging research and resources at the Center for Transportation, Environment, and Community Health (CTECH, http://ctech.cee.cornell.edu/).
The curriculum has a unique focus on systems integration, modeling, and analytics to inform, influence, and change technology, practice, and policy (i.e., legislation, regulation, programs, ordinances, and protocols) at the nexus of transportation, environment, and health.
The exact subset of courses will be discussed with each student's faculty advisor based on specific needs and interests.

Constant Contact is our pick as the best overall email marketing service – it has everything a small business needs to create effective campaigns, with affordable plans and easy-to-use tools. You can send an unlimited number of emails, and prices are based on the number of subscribers on your contact list. Its email editor is very simple to use, and when we sent emails with Constant Contact, they went to the right inboxes.
Editor's note: Looking for the right email marketing service for your business? Fill out the below questionnaire to have our vendor partners contact you about your needs.
Constant Contact Pricing
Constant Contact has two plans, Email and Email Plus, that can fit into the budgets of most small businesses. Additionally, Constant Contact offers a 60-day free trial.
Both plans have everything you need to create professional email campaigns. With each plan, you can send unlimited emails. Each plan comes with customizable templates, contact management and list-building tools, pop-up forms, tracking and reporting features, an image library and a mobile app.
The difference between the two plans is that Email Plus offers dynamic signup forms, 2GB of file storage, access for up to 10 users, email automation, event marketing, online donations, plus surveys and coupons. Here's more that you should know about Constant Contact's pricing:
The prices for both plans are based on list size. If you prepay for six months, you receive a 10% discount; if you prepay for 12 months, you get a 15% discount. Additional discounts are available for nonprofits. Special plans are available for franchises and associations.
Prices for the Email plan start at $20 per month for up to 500 subscribers and $65 per month for up to 5,000 contacts. The most expensive package is $335, which supports 50,000 contacts.
The cheapest package for the Email Plus plan starts at $45 per month, and you can send emails up to 500 contacts. For 2,500 contacts, the cost is $70 per month. The most expensive package is $335 for 50,000 contacts.
If you have more than 50,000 subscribers, you need to reach out to Constant Contact for a price quote.
If your contact list changes from one billing cycle to the next, Constant Contact will automatically adjust your fee.
The 60-day free trial includes all of Constant Contact's tools, including templates, images, an email editor, contact management, reporting and live support. But, you can only send emails to 100 contacts or less.
Constant Contact Features
Constant Contact has an array of tools that make it easy to create eye-catching, appealing email marketing campaigns. Here's what we liked about Constant Contact.
A/B Split Testing
With Constant Contact's A/B testing feature, you create two different subject lines that are each sent to a portion of your contact list. The software determines the better-performing subject line and automatically sends the winner to the rest of your audience.
With Constant Contact's autoresponders, you can create a series of personalized, automated emails that will be sent automatically based on certain triggers. You can automate emails such as welcome messages to new subscribers, and birthday and anniversary emails to existing customers.
Constant Contact boasts a 97% deliverability rate. The company also offers resources on its website where you can learn about email best practices and phrases that may trigger spam filters.
When you click "Create Email," you have the choice to add your website. If you select that option, Constant Contact scrubs your website to find your brand's colors, logo and social media accounts, then adding them to the email. Next, you pick a template and edit it using the drag-and-drop tools. If you aren't sure how to use the email editor, a video automatically plays when you're in the editor for the first time. When we used Constant Contact's email editor, we created and sent an email in less than 10 minutes. The emails we sent hit the right inboxes, not the "spam" or "promotions" folder.
Constant Contact has dozens of templates in its library. Each template is reusable and built for both desktop and mobile. Once you pick a template, you can customize it with your own images as well as your brand's colors and fonts.
You can upload your existing contacts with Excel, Outlook and Salesforce. When you upload new contacts, you can use tags to categorize them, such as "VIP donor" and "prospect." Constant Contact automatically removes duplicates and unsubscribed contacts for you so you don't have to manually manage your lists.
Once you send emails out, you can immediately view reports from the campaign. Statistics include open rates, click rates, the number of emails sent, bounces, successful deliveries, unsubscribes, spam reports, and did not opens. You can also view what links are clicked, social media statistics and poll responses. In this dashboard, you have the option to resend an email.
We found a lot of positives to Constant Contract. Among the benefits that stood out most to us include:
Ease of use: Constant Contact is one of the easiest email marketing services to use. Its email editor is outstanding. Even if you have never designed an email, the editor automatically scrubs your website to find your logo, colors and social media profiles. Once it has this information, you can easily customize templates to create an appealing email. There are dozens of templates to pick from, and you can save your favorite templates so you can quickly reuse it to create a new email.
Integrations: Constant Contact integrates with several other services, such as Excel, Salesforce, Outlook and list-building tools. You can sync contact data easily and so much more. Constant Contact has integrations for the software applications that a lot of small businesses use and rely on.
Automation: You can send automatic emails triggered by customer actions so you have a response in place when consumers are interested in your products or services.
There were a couple of potential drawbacks to be aware of. Here are some limitations of Constant Contact.
No free option: While Constant Contact has a 60-day free trial, many email marketing services provide a free version of their software, often with limited capabilities. Constant Contact does not offer a free option.
Limited A/B testing variables: The best email marketing services let you compare multiple variables with your A/B tests, such as different designs. Constant Contact's A/B testing feature only lets you change email subject lines, which is limiting.
Constant Contact has a variety of resources to help you. Along with its extensive knowledgebase and videos, it offers chat and phone support. When we reached out, Constant Contact's representative was helpful and not at all pushy, and answered all of our questions.

Without moving your upper arms, bend your elbows and curl the weight toward your shoulders. Your palms should face each other the entire time. Your palms should face each other the entire time. Pause, and then lower back to the starting position and repeat.... While you can expect to make your muscles a little bigger, they're not going to resemble the arms of a bodybuilder in only a few days' time. Still, getting started and then sticking to the program means you'll start to make progress sooner rather than later.
by Rachael Attard Mar 3 So my suggestion would be to do it every day if you can, or at least 5 times per week at a minimum. Most health guidelines specify that you should try to walk at least 10,000 steps per day and this is a good guide to go by. However, as I mentioned, the more the better! So I always try to aim for at least 10km per day. A good way to fit in the 10kms per day is to... I�m going to get your arms bigger, faster. But first, a story. My cellphone�s touchscreen is dead. Now I�m waiting at the Apple Store, which I�m sure is one of Dante�s Circles of Hell.
Of course, just about every dude in the gym these days wants to get bigger arms� but it�s a lot easier said than done. Let�s face it, if it was easy to get swole arms� just about every dude on the planet would be walking around with arms busting out of their shirts right now and there wouldn�t be a million � how to get bigger arms � articles online.... 15/11/2018�� On the days when you aren't working out your chest, work other muscle groups, like your legs, arms, and back. Don't work out for longer than 30 minutes in a session. You'll risk damaging your muscles, and you might have to sit out for a while instead of working on building strength and mass.
If you are not getting bigger, then you should add an additional 500 calories per day and repeat the process. Depending on your training, genetics, how skinny you are, and how much weight you need to gain, you can decide how much weight you want to gain each week.

Blog, Day to Day
Fitting In
Hello from a dreary Yorkshire day -the cloud is hanging low down the valley, bringing a sort of quiet dampness which I love. In this weather the birdsong seems louder, the colours more vibrant against the grey background. The river runs peat brown, dark depths. I wandered up the valley earlier, just to get out the house, relishing drizzle on my skin and the lack of anybody else around.
2023 has been a funny one so far. After the tumult of last year, it sort of seems that all the pieces of me that have been flying around are settling, finally. I feel solid, somehow. I've been in a contemplative mood recently – the prospect of turning 40 this year has meant I've been looking back, in a way. My thirties have been a decade of discovery, for sure. I left a few jobs, started others, left them, picked up a chronic illness. I worked through depression and put on a lot of weight. I also got a master's degree and started a PhD. I began therapy, properly, which has been a huge help, and still is. I'm also one of the large number of 'older' people, especially women, finally finding out that they are neurodivergent. It's been a wild ride, but for the first time maybe in my life, I can say I'm beginning to know myself.
I think I've needed to wait until now, to start this blog properly. To feel in tune, not only with the turn of the seasons and the passing of the days, but with myself, too. I've always felt slightly outside of the norm, just that bit out of place, but not been able to explain it. I fought against it, maybe my whole life. But here I am now, four decades in, understanding it all finally. Sort of starting again, creating a space where I fit perfectly. I'm looking forward to not trying to be someone else for once, worrying about fitting in. I can fit into my own place, just for me.
I feel the pandemic was a turning point for a lot of us – a point where things could fall apart. Through the loss, hurt and pain, we could see the things that were really important. Our stories are personal, yet somehow shared against the same background. The world trying so hard to get 'back to normal' is leaving so much of that new wisdom behind. Collective trauma needs time for grief, time for recovery. Grief for loved ones, for life as it was, for the world. It's a time to follow our hearts now. It's time to bring change, and I feel that personally.
The sun is breaking through the cloud now, the last few minutes of golden light peaking over the fence to next door's garden. Soon it will rise high over the rooftops, bringing heat, light, new growth, long days. Not long now. I'm being pulled back to my path, back to the wheel of the year, and I feel comfort in that. Deep roots, new growth.
So what does this all mean for this blog? It's going to be a place to drop in and find rambling midlife thoughts, quiet places away from the shoutiness of general life, introspection, a lot of nature, growing things, and seasonal bits. Terrible crafts. Folklore, liminal places, travel, connectedness. A place that doesn't really fit in, but welcomes everyone who also feels that way, too. We can all fit in here, together. Or fit out. Embrace the weirdness! And bring tea. Oh! And there will be books. Of course.
I'll make a visual version of this post over on YouTube, too. Mostly I'll just be reading it, but maybe another thought or two will pop into my head as I go?! Who knows. I really enjoy making videos, and although they'll probably be terrible quality for now, it's a way to gain momentum at least! You can subscribe here if you are so inclined.
Stay well, friends 🙂

VIDEO: Gov. DeSantis on Florida's COVID-19 Education Plan
September 2, 2020 By The Editors
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida met with White House coronavirus advisor Scott Atlas in Florida on Monday and discussed the state's plans for schooling during the pandemic. The Miami Herald reports:
Gov. Ron DeSantis brought the White House's new coronavirus adviser, Scott Atlas, to Tallahassee on Monday to embrace a controversial testing policy that suggests people with no symptoms should be discouraged from testing because it leads to shutdowns, a position opposed by other members of the president's task force.
"The CDC is not saying you cannot get a test. They're just saying there's a rationale for getting a test, and if you are concerned, you can contact your doctor or your local health official,'' said Atlas, an adviser to the White House Coronavirus Task Force, at the media event held at the state Capitol. "But there must be a prioritization because we need to use the testing — not to lock down society — you need to have the testing result in something very positive and that is decreasing deaths."
DeSantis invited Atlas, a neuroradiologist from Stanford's conservative Hoover Institution, to speak on the day the last of Florida's school districts resumed classes, some online and some in person. Also with them was Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, Surgeon General Scott Rivkees and two parents of children in Tallahassee schools. None of the panelists wore masks.
Atlas said that while "asymptomatics [people who have no symptoms] can spread" the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, it is less important to prevent the spread of the virus among the general population than it is to prevent the spread among the vulnerable.
"You don't have to be a genius to figure out that if someone's coughing up virus, they are going to be spreading so there's no doubt that the symptomatic super spreaders are the symptomatic people,'' Atlas said.

Seventeen firefighters were welcomed to the Wilmington Fire Department in a ceremony Saturday. The 39th Recruit Academy class was the first to be dedicated to the memory of fallen firefighters.
The recruits trained in honor of Capt. Christopher Leach, Lt. Ardythe "Ardy" Hope and Lt. Jerry Fickes, the three Wilmington firefighters who died battling a 2016 row home blaze.
The probationary firefighters received their badges and company assignments in the ceremony at Salesianum School in Wilmington.
"Never grow up," Wilmington Fire Chief Michael Donohue told the class. "What I mean is for all of you to keep that same level of youthful intensity, your desire to gain knowledge and your drive and dedication you have shown throughout this academy. It will serve you well."
The class brings the Wilmington Fire Department up to its authorized strength of 156 firefighters.

You are here: HOME - US presidential candidates, UN Secretary General weigh in. About - Get involved - Contact us
US presidential candidates, UN Secretary General weigh in. Fellow bloggers have been speculating (here and here) whether and how the Wolfowitz drama might become a US political issue. Now a former and a potential presidential candidates have started commenting. Will others follow?
Pat Buchanan strikes some heavy blows in an article on Human Events ('leading the conservative movement since 1944'). Among them:
1.Tommy Franks once referred to the Pentagon's No. 3, Doug Feith, as "the dumbest guy on the planet." It now appears Gen. Franks' honorific better applies to Feith's boss, the Pentagon No. 2, Paul Wolfowitz. For a man once hailed as the brightest of the neocons, Wolfie has behaved with a stupidity born of the arrogance of power.
2. As this spilled out into the press, Wolfowitz, by week's end, was barely hanging on to his job. But Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and the West Wing were behind him. In the GOP of Jack Abramoff and Duke Cunningham, this doesn't qualify as sleaze.
3.Well, let Wolfie stay on as poster boy of Bush ethics, and let the nation decide whether they wish to continue with this crowd in 2008.
Coming from a different perspective, Democrat 2008 hopeful Barrack Obama will say is going to say that the US "needs to renew alliances in international institutions such as the UN, NATO and the World Bank". Obama's speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs was due to be given today, but has been postponed until 23rd April due to the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech yesterday.
Meanwhile UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon today called on officials from international financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) to engage in deep reforms to accommodate the interests of developing countries. He complained that developing countries are "poorly reflected in forums where crucial decisions about their economic and social future are taken, including some of the institutions created 60 years ago under vastly different circumstances."
"If these institutions are to strengthen their own legitimacy and credibility - and better serve the world's peoples - they must engage more deeply in reforms that reflect today's economic realities," he said.

The study, which will be lead by the Director of the University's Center for Energy and Environmental Policy, will be supported by the UD Class of 2008, which has chosen to support the initiative with its senior class gift. UD is also launching a campus sustainability website, which will provide information on current research and campus sustainability events.
Unity College (ME) and the Maine State Housing Authority, also known as MaineHousing, recently completed an agreement which states that the College will purchase carbon emission reductions derived from MaineHousing's energy efficiency programs. MaineHousing will use the funds it receives to create additional affordable, environmentally sound, and energy efficient housing.
The National Wildlife Federation has announced the winners of its 2008 Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming national competition. The program honors U.S. schools that are show leadership in addressing global warming and do so in a creative manner. Butte College (CA) was named the Grand Prize winner for employing energy efficiency measures in all campus facilities. Butte also runs the largest community college transportation system in California, recycles more than 75 percent of its operations waste stream, and has a solar array that generates for 28% of the campus' electricity use. Other campus winners include the University of Missouri in the Energy Efficiency category, University of Montana, Missoula in the Transportation category, and Cascadia Community College (WA) and University of Washington in the "Habitat Restoration, Waste Reduction, Educational Awareness and More" category. Berea College (KY) and Daemen College (NY) were the YouTube Video Winners.
University presidents from across British Columbia have signed a Climate Change Statement of Action committing their institutions to a leadership role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The statement of action commits each university to initiate a comprehensive plan to reduce greenhouse gases by creating a planning body that includes students, staff, researchers, administrators and other partners. Within one year, each institution will have a complete inventory of greenhouse gas emissions on campus and within two years, targets will be set and strategies will be put in place to achieve the targets. All action plans, inventories, and progress reports will be made publicly available. BC's university presidents will be inviting other post secondary institutions across British Columbia and Canada to join them in signing the Statement of Action.
The National Association of College and University Business Officers' February Business Officer Magazine features an article urging college and university presidents to sign the American College and University President's Climate Commitment. The article includes ideas on how to fund the commitment, reduce the campus carbon footprint, and convince students, faculty, and staff to participate.
Michigan State University and the University of Iowa have agreed to a partnership involving the transaction of carbon credits through the Chicago Climate Exchange program. MSU has agreed to purchase 5,000 tons of carbon dioxide credits from UI in order to meet the requirements of 2007, its first membership compliance year. Next year, MSU hopes to increase the use of alternative fuels so that purchasing additional credits will be less of a necessity. In 2007, UI accumulated excess credits by burning oat hulls, a byproduct of Quaker Oats, instead of coal.
Harvard University (MA) recently announced that President Drew G. Faust will soon appoint a task force to study how to reduce the University's greenhouse gas emissions. The recommendations of the task force will form the basis of a commitment to reduce emissions that will be unveiled in June 2008.
Metropolis Magazine published an article in its February issue entitled "Carbon Neutral U" which highlights growing efforts by colleges and universities to reduce their carbon emissions. The article notes that "higher education has emerged as a thrilling proving ground for a sustainable society" and describes the activities of the Ivy Plus Sustainability Working Group.
The University at Buffalo Green Office recently released the UB Green Climate Action Report, a comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions inventory and set of recommendations for how the University can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and move towards climate neutrality. UB found that the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions on campus are building energy use and transportation. The report recommends that the campus increase renewable energy purchases, maximize energy efficiency in new buildings and renovations, advocate for a better mass transit system, and increase carpooling.
Brown University (RI) has announced a plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 42% below 2007 levels for all existing buildings by 2020. Brown also promised to reduce energy consumption up to 50% for all newly constructed and acquired facilities. The university plans to achieve these goals through initiatives such as switching the fuel that powers the central heating plan to cleaner natural gas when available, implementing new lighting technologies, improving the energy efficiencies of buildings, increasing co-generation of electricity, and using renewable energy sources where appropriate.
Yale University (CT) recently announced that it has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 17%, or 43,000 metric tons, since 2005. In 2005, Yale committed to cut its GHG emissions to 10% below the University's 1990 levels by 2020. Yale's strategy to shrink its carbon footprint calls for a mix of conservation measures, the use of renewable energy on campus, and direct participation in carbon offset projects. Yale has achieved its current reduction through projects and policies including the installation of more efficient heating and cooling systems in 90 buildings, new automatic controls for heating, cooling and lighting, the replacement of windows, new and modified power plant equipment, achieving LEED Silver or better certification for all new buildings and major renovations, the use of ground water for cooling, and a 10% yearly reduction in electricity consumption by students in Yale's undergraduate residential colleges.

Asia's First Same-Sex Marriage Legislation: The Interplay of President, Court and Society
Free Public Lecture
Thursday 14 Nov 2019 6:15pm - 7:15pm
Theatre 102, Level 1
law-events@unimelb.edu.au
2019 Seabrook Chambers Lecture
In mid May 2019, Taiwan's Legislative Yuan passed Asia's first same sex marriage law, in compliance with a constitutional court decision and subsequent public referendum.
Confronting this highly divided issue, the society took extreme positions and campaigned vigorously, in the midst of election and in the form of public referendum in particular. It is intriguing how the controversy was resolved with president, court and vigilant social society interplayed in the young constitutional democracy.
Professor Yeh looks at the issue against the backdrop of recent global democratic backsliding. The lecture will discuss how controversy surrounding Asia's first same sex marriage law was resolved by interplay between the president, court and vigilant social society, highlighting how the interaction may lead to better constitutional governance.

- U.S. stocks are poised to rise because economic indicators are starting to improve, said Barton Biggs, managing partner at Traxis Partners LLC in New York. "There's too much bearishness and the market is poised for a big, big rally," said Biggs, whose Jan. 8 prediction that stocks would gain came two days after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index reached its highest level this year. "We're in the process of testing the lows." Biggs said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that investors will continue to pull their money from hedge funds. Customers withdrew $74 billion last month from the largely unregulated investment vehicles that cater to wealthy individuals and institutions, according to a report from TrimTabs Investment Research. "Public and institutional investors are deeply wounded and are discouraged about equity investments," Biggs said. Hedge funds "are going to be in a redemption mode for a considerable period of time."
- Brazil stocks may drop in the "next few weeks" because valuations climbed too high given the outlook for a "very sharp" recession in Latin America's biggest economy, according to Citigroup Inc.Brazilian shares trade for about 9.5 times estimated profits, above the long-term average price-to-earnings of 9, after the market rallied more than its developing-country peers since November, Citigroup strategist Geoffrey Dennis wrote in a research note dated yesterday. Investors should wait for the Bovespa to drop below 35,000 before they buy Brazilian stocks, he wrote.
- Kazakhstan's credit risk is unjustifiably high and investors should instead buy "less expensive" Russian credit-default swaps to hedge against a default by the former Soviet republic's government, UBS AG says.
- Hewlett-Packard Co.(HPQ), the world's largest personal-computer maker, reported sales that missed analysts' estimates and reduced its earnings forecast for the year. Hewlett-Packard, based in Palo Alto, California, fell 5.5 percent in extended trading to $32.22.
- Baidu.com Inc.(BIDU), operator of China's most-used online search engine, posted a 31 percent increase in fourth-quarter profit after more of the nation's citizens began using the Internet. The company's ADRs rose $1.91, or 1.5 percent, to $130 in late trading.
- China's stocks rally that's made the Shanghai Composite Index the world's best performer this year will falter as profits are "non-existent," according to independent economist Andy Xie. The index is valued at 17.4 times earnings, the most expensive among the so-called BRIC markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The rally will run out of steam as "profits are non- existent and valuations are still expensive," Xie, former chief Asian economist at Morgan Stanley, said in an interview yesterday. He correctly predicted in April 2007 that China's stock market was a "bubble" and would burst. The Shanghai Composite peaked on Oct. 16 that year and tumbled more than 70 percent to its trough on Nov. 4, 2008, as the nation's exports shrank and economic growth slowed. The rally has fueled concern that companies are using loans to speculate in stocks after new lending rose by a record 1.62 trillion yuan ($236 billion) in January as part of a government drive to boost the world's third-largest economy. As much as 660 billion yuan of new lending may have been converted by companies into term deposits or used to buy equities, Li Huiyong, Shanghai-based analyst at Shenyin Wanguo, said in a phone interview this week. "It's a rampant practice," said Xie. "Here you are borrowing at 1.5 percent and the stock market rises, so you put your money into stocks and hope to get out after making 20 percent."
- UBS AG(UBS), Switzerland's largest bank, will pay $780 million to avoid U.S. prosecution and settle regulatory claims that it helped thousands of wealthy Americans use Swiss bank accounts to evade taxes. The Justice Department filed a criminal charge accusing UBS of conspiring to defraud the U.S. by helping 17,000 Americans hide accounts from the Internal Revenue Service. The government will drop the charge in 18 months if UBS makes reforms, helps prosecutors, and makes payments under accords with the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Hong Kong luxury-home rents fell to a 2 1/2-year low last month because supply increased as owners opted to lease their apartments rather than sell, real estate agent Ricacorp Properties Ltd. said. Rents at 35 luxury apartment buildings dropped 22 percent from a year earlier to an average HK$25.70 ($3.30) a square foot per month, the lowest since June 2006, Ricacorp said in an e- mailed statement yesterday. The average rent fell 4.8 percent from December, the seventh straight month-on-month drop, it said.
- Indian earnings estimates for the next fiscal year may be cut another 25 percent, led by revisions for banks, as the economy weakens, Credit Suisse Group said. Analysts will probably double the one-quarter reduction in forecasts since November for the year starting April 1, as profit growth at banks, brokerages and developers falters, Credit Suisse analysts Nilesh Jasani and Arya Sen wrote in a report.
- U.S. brokerage regulators fined R. Allen Stanford's firm more than a year ago for misleading investors while selling certificates of deposit, raising new questions about watchdogs already under scrutiny for missing Bernard Madoff's alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Stanford Group Co. was fined $10,000 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in November 2007 for distributing marketing material that "failed to present fair and balanced treatment" of the risks associated with CDs. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday filed a civil lawsuit calling the sales by the Houston-based firm a "massive, ongoing fraud." "From what we know, the problem that led to the fine was a red flag," said Robert Hillman, a securities law professor at the University of California, Davis. "If you have a red flag of this nature, then you have to do something more than simply levy a fine and close the file." SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro last month said she would "reinvigorate" the agency's enforcement unit after it failed for more than a decade to detect that Madoff was paying off old investors with money raised from new ones. Schapiro was chief executive officer of Finra when the private regulator fined Stanford's firm in 2007.
- Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) appears to be teaming up with VMware Inc. (VMW) for a plan to offer servers and expand its presence in the data-center market, an analyst said Wednesday.
- New research at Genentech Inc.(DNA) is challenging conventional thinking about Alzheimer's disease, providing a provocative theory about its cause and suggesting potential new targets for therapies to treat it.

- A group representing General Motors Corp. bondholders fears that the auto maker's latest restructuring plan fails to address all the challenges facing the company and doesn't cut costs enough in light of the deteriorating economy, a person familiar with the bond negotiations said Wednesday.
NY Times:
- Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, an early Obama ally with a record of working across party lines, is emerging as the president's top choice for secretary of health and human services, advisers said Wednesday.

- Netflix(NFLX) defies the naysayers.
Politico:
- Sen. Roland Burris is rapidly losing any political support he once had among colleagues, with Democrats from the statehouse to the White House raising questions about his entanglements with ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Guardian:
- The UK government's multi-billion pound insurance scheme to ring-fence British banks' toxic assets and reboot lending to the recession-hit economy has run into a wall of opposition in the EU, the Guardian has learned. The European commission and several leading EU countries are understood to have objected that the UK proposals are a serious threat to competition and to the much-prized single market.
International Herald Tribune:
- North Korea said on Thursday it was ready for war with the South, just hours before U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was set to arrive in Seoul for talks on defusing the North's military threat. North Korea has repeatedly threatened in recent weeks to reduce the South to ashes. Pyongyang is thought to be readying its longest-range missile for launch in what analysts say is a bid to grab the new U.S. administration's attention and pressure Seoul to ease up on its hard line. "(The South Korean president's) group of traitors should never forget that the (North) Korean People's Army is fully ready for an all-out confrontation," the North's KCNA news agency quoted an unnamed military official as saying.
Sidney Morning Herald:
- Australia's once-triumphant iron ore and coal miners face price cuts of between 30 and 50 per cent, which would slash export income by the equivalent of 4 per cent of gross domestic product and increase the likelihood of recession. Zou Jian, a director of the China Iron & Steel Association and head of the China Metallurgical Mines Association, told the Herald that benchmark iron ore price cuts of between 30 and 50 per cent would be "reasonable" - on top of eliminating a large "freight premium" handed to Australian miners last year.
The Standard:
- New World Development Ltd. and other Hong Kong builders are slashing prices of new residential projects as the economic recession reduces demand for new homes, citing the companies. New World has cut prices at its Wylie Court project in the Ho Man Tin district by as much as 40%. Asia Standard International Group sold 12 flats at its Jadewater project in Aberdeen last weekend after cutting prices by 40%.

As far back as I can remember there was music in the Hauk homestead, tucked away in a quaint village near the Baltic Sea in Germany. Father bought our first piano during the uncertain days of WW II.
Deutsch, it was I who pedaled weekly eight Km to the city,come rain come shine.
I also taught myself to play the accordion, going on tour with a local folk-dance group to seaside resorts, where we entertained vacationers. Beside playing the accordion, I was the group's photographer, developing my own black-and-white prints.
About that time a deacon from the city organized a brass choir in our village. That was my exposure to the euphonium. I learned to love that instrument, but did not have a chance to play again until decades later. After I retired from Harris/RF Communication's Product Design Engineering, a friend,Paul Klett, lent me his instrument one Summer. He also talked about a certain old-timer New Horizons Band. Would I be interested in checking it out? I did.
Playing in the Symphonic Band is both challenging and rewarding; doubly so being a member of the tuba/euphonium ensemble Brasso Profundo. I hope to continue my music-making as long as I can carry the instrument, which, it seems, gains more and more weight before each new season.

This study discusses the possibility of in situ photoreduction of Ag+-ions on the surface of titania nanotubes (TNTs) deposited on the cotton and cotton/PET fabrics in the presence of amino acid alanine and methyl alcohol. TNTs were synthetized by hydrothermal method. The proposed interaction between titania, alanine and Ag+-ions was based on the results obtained by FTIR measurements. In order to enhance the binding efficiency between TNTs and fibers, the fabrics were previously impregnated with polyethyleneimine. The presence of TNT/Ag nanocrystals on the surface of fibers was proved by SEM, AAS, XRD and XPS. Larger amount of silver was detected on the cotton fabric. Fabricated TiO2/Ag nanocrystals provided maximum reduction of bacteria E. coli which was preserved after five washing cycles despite significant release of silver. The perspiration fastness tests indicated that silver release did not depend on pH. The presence of TNT/Ag nanocrystals imparted maximum UV protection to fabri...cs.
