Our reports on the oral arguments during the May term of the Illinois Supreme Court continue with a direct appeal pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 302 – LVNV Funding v. Trice.
LVNV began when the defendant used a credit card to pay for plumbing services. When the defendant failed to pay the credit card issuer the full amount of the charge, the issuer sold its interest in the account to the plaintiff, who sued the defendant to collect the debt. The matter went to trial with the defendant appearing pro se, and judgment for the plaintiff was entered. After trial, the defendant hired counsel. The new attorney moved to vacate the judgment on the grounds that the plaintiff had never registered as a collection agency under state law, making the judgment void (the plaintiff had gotten its license after filing the suit, but before entry of judgment). The plaintiff responded that the trial court had jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter, and that was all that was needed to make the judgment not void.
The case went up on appeal for the first time in 2011. The Third Division of the First District found that both buying the debt from the issuer and suing the defendant would be criminal acts if the plaintiff was not licensed, the Court held. The Court remanded for the sole purpose of determining when the plaintiff had become licensed. Instead, the Circuit Court entered an order on remand striking down the licensing statute on constitutional grounds. As a result, the second appeal came directly to the Supreme Court.
Counsel for the defendant began the oral argument. Counsel argued three points: (1) the statutory licensing law prohibits anyone from operating in the state without a license, and imposes criminal and civil penalties for violators; (2) the legislature has declared a strong public policy regarding the business of debt collection, finding that the business affects the public welfare and should be regulated for the protection of debtors; and (3) previous precedent recognizes a distinction between failure to license as a business and the unlicensed practice of law with respect to the appropriate remedy. Justice Burke asked whether the Act expressly states that judgments are void if the plaintiff is unlicensed, and counsel answered that that result was mandated by the Court's nullity rule. Justice Burke asked whether the defendant gets a windfall if the judgment is unenforceable. Counsel answered that the legislature has made the judgment that a party cannot sue without a license. Unlicensed debt collection is contrary to the public welfare, and since the plaintiff was unlicensed at the time it sued the defendant, the voidness rule applied.
Counsel for the State, which had intervened to argue the constitutionality of the licensing statute, followed. Counsel argued that the case was somewhat unusual, in that not even the defendant was defending the Circuit Court's holding on the grounds the Court relied upon. There can be no equal protection violation where a statute doesn't distinguish between similarly situated parties, counsel argued. Nor was the statute arbitrary or irrational simply because the conduct prohibited was unlikely to lead to physical injury or death given the long tradition of financial crimes. The plaintiff had argued that the statute was void for vagueness in that it was impossible to know what was and what was not "debt collection." Counsel for the State disagreed. Counsel pointed out that there is a distinction between ordinary statutory ambiguity and constitutional vagueness. Ambiguity exists when multiple reasonable readings exist, but it only rises to the level of a constitutional problem when a statute is entirely incapable of intelligent interpretation. The dormant commerce clause argument failed, since the statute doesn't treat in-state and out-of-state commerce differently.
This leaves only the rational basis argument, according to counsel. The FTC has documented abuses in the debt collection industry, including specifically in litigation, counsel argued. Most lawsuits end in default judgments, and some collectors play the odds, hoping enough people won't bother to defend their suits that they'll come out ahead. Since nobody was defending the Circuit Court's judgment, counsel suggested that the Court summarily vacate the decision and remand the case for resolution of the defendant's remaining arguments. This was appropriate, counsel argued, because otherwise the defendant would be in effect bootstrapping a Rule 308 appeal through Rule 302, getting a number of non-constitutional issues before the Court through a non-substantial constitutional appeal. Counsel disputed the defendant's argument that the ethical rules governing attorneys were a sufficient check on litigation abuse, arguing that there is evidence to the contrary. Nevertheless, counsel argued, it was not necessary that the legislature's action be narrowly tailored to the problem in this constitutional context.
Counsel for the plaintiff followed. Counsel argued that the case should have ended at the Appellate Court since only subject matter and personal jurisdiction defects make a judgment entirely void – not failure to license. The nullity rule applying to corporations is an exception to that principle, but since an attorney filed the complaint, the nullity rule was inapplicable. Counsel argued that all four factors cited in previous Supreme Court cases regarding the nullity rule favor the plaintiff here – the lawsuit was filed without knowledge of the licensing requirement and the plaintiff acted diligently in correcting the mistake. Justice Thomas asked whether the Court should assess the constitutional argument and remand the rest. Counsel answered that the lower court had already ruled on nullity, so there was nothing to remand. The plaintiff merely buys debt and hires attorneys to file lawsuits, counsel argued; it was not a traditional collection agency. Justice Theis suggested that since a lawyer is acting on behalf of the client, the argument is that it's the plaintiff contacting and suing the debtor. Counsel answered that before 2008, only a debt buyer "with recourse" was subject to the Act. In 2008, the legislature removed the words "with recourse," but still, nothing in the Act suggests that filing a lawsuit necessarily is debt collection. Justice Karmeier asked counsel whether he was defending the constitutionality rulings of the trial court, and counsel said yes, in part. Justice Karmeier asked whether counsel's non-constitutional issues still needed to be litigated. Counsel argued that the State hadn't specified where it proposed to remand the matter to. Everything the plaintiff briefed was argued and decided in either the Circuit or Appellate Court. Justice Kilbride asked whether the trial court had decided the non-constitutional issues, and counsel answered that the court's view was if you file a lawsuit, you're a debt collector. Justice Kilbride explained that he was trying to determine whether the decision below complied with Supreme Court Rule 18, requiring that a case be decided if possible on non-constitutional grounds before reaching the constitutional issues. Counsel answered that the trial court had concluded that it was stuck with the Appellate Court holding, and the plaintiff clearly was a debt collector. Justice Thomas asked why the Court shouldn't hold the statute constitutional under the rational basis test. Counsel argued that the statute was unconstitutional because there was no reasonable way for a party to know when it was violating the law. Here, the Department had advised the plaintiff that it didn't need to register, and that the 2013 amendment to the statute had been needed because the law was unclear. Federal District Court judges have adopted the plaintiff's position about the meaning of the statute, counsel argued. Counsel concluded by suggesting that the Court should merely hold that the judgment was not void, and that was the end of the case.
Counsel for the defendant began rebuttal arguments by arguing that the plaintiff had conceded that the constitutional holdings below were wrong. Justice Thomas asked how public welfare is promoted by counsel's interpretation. Counsel answered that maintaining the regulatory system over the industry was very important; debt buyers wanted to be out from under the statute merely by hiring counsel, but that wasn't the intent of the legislature. Chief Justice Garman asked whether any violations of the law had been shown beyond the lack of a license. Counsel answered that at the outset of the lawsuit, there had been a dispute as to whether the defendant actually owed the debt.
Counsel for the State ended the argument, arguing that the easiest resolution was to vacate the judgment and remand the case. The plaintiff has not defended the Circuit Court's reasoning, counsel argued; it was offering a "better" version of the Court's rational basis argument. Counsel once again suggested that the best approach to mandatory jurisdiction Rule 302 cases is to dispose of an insubstantial constitutional argument and remand the rest to ensure that Rule 302 doesn't become a vehicle for a lot of other issues to come up. Counsel asked whether there was a problem with the rulings on the issues the Court would be sending back. Counsel responded that the application of the statute hasn't been passed on. Justice Thomas pointed out that counsel for the State was at odds with everyone else in the case urging the Court to resolve all issues. Counsel answered that he understood the impulse to seek complete resolution, but the case now presents nine different issues. Counsel argued again that it was more appropriate to send the non-constitutional issues back. Justice Karmeier asked whether, if the Court merely decided constitutionality and remanded the rest, the case goes back to the trial court in the same posture it was in following the first appeal. Counsel said yes – the Circuit Court would be able to consider the issue of whether the statute applied.
We expect LVNV Funding to be decided in four to five months.

March of 2011 is when the buzz began for Gabriel Carrer's In the House of Flies (review here), and now finally on October 8th the film is hitting DVD courtesy of Black Fawn Distribution. Read on for the cover art, new trailer, quad poster, and a trio of stills.
From the Press Release:
Black Fawn Distribution is set to officially release the horror/thriller In the House of Flies on Tuesday, October 8th, 2013. In the House of Flies marks the company's fourth release in an ever-growing catalog of Canadian horror films.
Directed by Gabriel Carrer (If a Tree Falls, Desperate Souls) and staring Ryan Kotack, Lindsay Smith, and Ryan Barrett (Neverlost, Ejecta, The Post Lifers), In the House of Flies is a slow burn horror/thriller set in the late 1980s. The film revolves around the captivity of a young couple as their abductor torments them with no explanation for his motives. It's a truly terrifying experience as it places the audience in the shoes of the film's protagonists, revealing only what they see and the horror that they're subjected to.
"In the House of Flies is a very personal project for myself and [writer] Angus McLellan," explains director Gabriel Carrer. "My background is in theatre, and so I wanted to helm something that returned me to my roots and explored the simple elements of horror. I wanted to work on something that had more of a theatrical experience to it during the filming process. Everything from the set, the performances, and even the scene changes were based on stage nuances. It was a challenge directing only two actors in a small crammed space, but it gave me the opportunity to really explore delivery and composition."
"I think that when you look at horror films today, there's a lot of emphasis placed on how much blood you can spill," states Black Fawn Distribution's Sales Manager C.F. Benner. "Horror fans love those films just like we do, but sometimes it's the psychological horror that's the most terrifying. I think that's what audiences are really going to love about In the House of Flies. It's a really visceral experience that's grounded in the real world."
The DVD comes packed with special features including deleted scenes, trailers, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary of the filmmakers' trip to Spain for their European premiere. In the House of Flies can be pre-ordered now on DVD or as part of a limited edition package at BlackFawnDistribution.com.
Two young lovers, Heather (Lindsay Smith) and Steven (Ryan Kotack), find their lives inadvertently changed forever when they're suddenly abducted. With no idea who has taken them, or for what purpose, the couple struggle to escape. Alone, isolated, and imprisoned in a cold, unforgiving basement, Heather and Steve soon find themselves pawns in the psychological game of their captor. Featuring music from 80s icons Saga and Brighton Rock, In the House of Flies is "intense, horrific, well acted, and thought-provoking" (Dread Central).

Everyone knows that bears love BBQs, right? You didn't know that? Here's the proof: clubland's favourite furry DJ dons The 2 Bears (AKA Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell) are hosting daytime pre-parties for two of their residency dates at Shoreditch club XOYO, involving BBQing a lot of meat way up high on the rooftop of Dalston Roof Park. The Bears will be spinning party-starting tunes while punters (hopefully) soak up the sun – and remember to bring your own girthy piece of meat to whack onto the grill, so that some lucky soul can devour it later on (we're allowed one BBQ double entendre, right?).
As day turns to night, the party moves from atop Dalston Roof Park to inside Shoreditch's XOYO, where The 2 Bears will be spinning sweaty party bangers joined by a host of top-class DJ pals.

Objective:Lim1 (Lim homeobox 1) plays an important role during rodent renal development; however, its rolein human kidney development and disease is still unclear. Methods: We investigated LIM1 expression during human renal development, in dysplastic kidneys and in renal neoplasms using immunohistochemistry. RNA levels in renal carcinomas were determined by quantitative RT-PCR, and the potential roles of LIM1 in mesenchymal-epithelial transition and cell cycle were investigated in a cell culture model. Results: LIM1 was detected in pretubular aggregates, S-shaped and comma-shaped bodies as well as immature glomeruli between 10 and 30 weeks of gestation. Eleven dysplastic kidneys showed no expression of LIM1. In contrast, 12 of 32 nephroblastomas showed nuclear positivity. One regressive nephroblastoma had diffuse expression of LIM1 in tubular structures, all others showed focal positivity in mesenchymal, blastemal and epithelial structures. Renal cell carcinomas revealed no expression of LIM1. Overexpression of LIM1 in a cell culture model led to an increase in KERATIN7 expression but no change in the cell cycle. Conclusion: Our study supports the concept of a causative role of LIM1 deficiency in the development of multicystic kidney. In a small subset of nephroblastomas with a more diffuse expression pattern LIM1 might also contribute to the pathogenesis of these lesions.

The California OneCare coalition launches their ambitious campaign to pass a new health care plan this year for all residents. Celebrities, political leaders, health care activists and victims are featured in a 365-day TV Ad campaign for single-payer legislation, Senate Bill 810, authored by Senator Mark Leno.
CBS Dan Rather on MSNBC: "Obama Couldn't Sell Watermelons"
From NewsOne: Not sure if Dan Rather is racist, inconsiderate or just used bad phrasing. Here's what he said on the Chris Matthews show Sunday. " Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death. Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."
ABC News: Kucinich: We Need a Public Option
The interview with Rep. Kucinich starts about 4 minutes into the 10 minute video. Rep. Kucinich clearly outlines his position on health care reform, saying that the bill should include a "robust" public option, as it's defined here and here. A "robust" public option would offer all Americans, regardless of their state residency, the option to opt into a single payer system, like Medicare for all.
In addition, Rep. Kucinich reinforced his position that the health care reform bill shouldn't prohibit states from doing their own "single-payer" systems through the "ERISA exemptions," as noted by Rep. Tammy Baldwin, in 2007:
"Clearly, on the subject of health care for all, we're not at a loss for words or ideas, but we still haven't figured out how to get the job done," she said. "But where we are seeing the job get done is at the state level. Innovative proposals in states such as Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Oregon, California and Wisconsin demonstrate a clear desire on the part of the states to reach an agreement and move forward," she noted. She added, though, that states are constrained by federal laws and regulations.
Media Blackout on Agent Orange: Coverage Ignores Effects on Vietnamese Victims
By Dave Lindorff
From Extra!, January 2010
In mid-October, hundreds of thousands of Vietnam-era veterans got some good if grim news: The Veterans Administration announced it was adding three more diseases to the 11 others it automatically presumes to have been caused by exposure to Agent Orange, the dioxin-laced herbicide spread by the U.S. military across much of South Vietnam to deny crops and cover to North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters during the war.
Newspapers and radio and TV news programs across America ran stories announcing that veterans of the jungle war who now suffer or may eventually suffer from Parkinson's Disease, ischemic heart disease or a type of cancer called hairy-cell leukemia will henceforth automatically be offered free medical care by the VA if they'd spent at least one day in uniform on the ground in Vietnam.

Rep. Kucinich still manages to get his points across despite Neil Cavuto's talk overs and Massa-baiting.

No Consensus in Definitions of 'Had Sex,' Study Finds
ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2010) — When people say they "had sex," what transpired is anyone's guess. A new study from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University found that no uniform consensus existed when a representative sample of 18- to 96-year-olds was asked what the term meant to them.
Is oral sex considered sex? It wasn't to around 30 percent of the study participants. How about anal sex? For around 20 percent of the participants, no. A surprising number of older men did not consider penile-vaginal intercourse to be sex. More than idle gossip, the answers to questions about sex can inform -- or misinform-- research, medical advice and health education efforts.
Kucinich Becomes Target Of Health Care Whip Campaign
Kucinich Becomes Target Of Health Care Whip Campaign
By Sam Stein | Huffington Post
With the real possibility that a handful of lawmakers -- or even a single vote -- in the House of Representatives could end up deciding the fate of health care reform, advocates are suddenly targeting the chamber's most progressive holdout.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio.) has firmly staked out his opposition to health care reform's passage, citing the timidity of the legislative language and, specifically, the unwillingness of lawmakers to seriously consider a single payer system.
For months, leadership had assumed his position was unalterable. But with an "all hands on deck" whip operation now in progress, Kucinich is getting a burst of attention. Read more.
John Marty, MN Gubernatorial Candidate, Looks To Future With Single-Payer Bill
Marty looks to future with single-payer bill
By Lori Sturdevant | Star Tribune
The possibility that Americans would join hands and buy health care all together has found no traction in Washington. But at the DFL-controlled Minnesota Legislature, the idea has been quietly marching through committees, three in the Senate, one in the House.
The Minnesota Health Plan is propelled in the Senate by former and current DFL gubernatorial candidate John Marty, a seven-term legislator from Roseville. Marty recognizes that with GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty in office, a single-payer health plan has no chance to become law this year.
But health care politics will change rapidly in the next few years as the status quo becomes increasingly untenable, the senator predicted. Read more.
Kill Bill: Death to Obamacare!
By Dave Lindorff
I'm with Marcia Angell, editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. The Obama plan for health care "reform", as well as the two versions passed by the House and the Senate, are all devious disasters that do nothing to solve the nation's burgeoning health care crisis, and in fact, will make it worse.
The only thing to do at this point is to take the whole stinking pile of paper and put it in the compost heap. Kill it.
This whole effort was never about reform from the day last March when the new president called on Congress to begin deliberations on health care reform. It was about catering to the wishes of the big players in the Medical Industrial Complex--the big pharmaceutical multinationals, the hospital companies, the physicians and, most of all, the insurance industry. People and their health care needs had little or nothing to do with this.
Medical Billing Advocates Could Help You Save Big
Medical Billing Advocates Could Help You Save Big
Why Using an Advocate Makes Sense Even If Your Insurance Pays a Contracted Rate
By Elisabeth Leamy | ABC News
...you can save thousands by hiring a medical billing advocate to find and fight hospital billing errors for you. Eighty percent of hospital bills contain errors, according to Medical Billing Advocates of America.
Millions of Americans...have health insurance plans that charge "coinsurance" rather than a flat co-pay. Coinsurance means you are charged a percentage of your medical care. The most common cost-sharing arrangement is an 80/20 plan, where the insurance company pays 80 percent of your bill and you pay the other 20 percent. Twenty percent of a big bill for a major hospitalization is a lot of money.
Insurance policies have maximum lifetime limits that they will pay out. Often, those lifetime limits are not as generous as they should be, and you may have no choice if you are insured through your employer and not given many options. Therefore, you want to keep your costs down as much as possible to stay away from that lifetime limit on coverage. Read more.
Homeland Healthcare Threat Code Color ???
Hepatitis B and C Remain Public Health Issue -- Up to 5.3 Million Americans Infected
ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2010) — A recent report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) confirmed that 3.5 to 5.3 million people (1-2 % of the U.S. population) have chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Despite efforts by federal, state and local government agencies to control and prevent these diseases, they remain a serious public health concern. The major factor impeding efforts to control HBV and HCV is lack of knowledge and awareness among health care providers, social service professionals, members of the public, and policy-makers.
End-of-Life Warning at $618,616 Makes Me Wonder Was It Worth It
End-of-Life Warning at $618,616 Makes Me Wonder Was It Worth It
By Amanda Bennett | Bloomberg
Along with my colleague Charles Babcock, I spent months poring over some 4,750 pages of documents collected from six hospitals, four insurers, Medicare, three oncologists, and a surgeon. Those papers tell the story of a system filled with people doing their best. And they raise complex questions about a health-care system that consumes 17 percent of the economy.
Days to Decipher
As I leafed through the stack of documents, it was easy to see why 31 percent of the money spent on health care goes to paperwork and administration, according to research published in 2003 by the New England Journal of Medicine. That number has either stayed the same or grown, said Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a professor at Harvard Medical School and a co-author of the study cited by the journal. Some bills took days to decipher. What did "opd patins t" or "bal xfr ded" mean? How could I tell if the dose charged was the same as the dose prescribed?
The documents revealed an economic system in which the sellers don't set and the buyers don't know the prices. The University of Pennsylvania hospital charged more than 12 times what Medicare at the time reimbursed for a chest scan. One insurer paid a hospital for 80 percent of the $3,232 price of a scan, while another covered 24 percent. Insurance companies negotiated their own rates, and neither my employers nor I paid the difference between the sticker and discounted prices.
'It's Completely Insane'
In this economic system, prices of goods and services bear little relation to the demand for them or their cost to make -- or, as it turns out, the good or harm they do. Read more.
What States Need from Congress to Make State Single-Payer Healthcare Work
From PNHP:
We, the single payer movement, are very concerned that the current legislative language in the Senate bill prohibits states from passing state-based reform such as single payer until at least 2017. Several states are poised to pass single payer this year and next year. This will be an important step in moving towards national single payer. We need the following language in the final legislation through the reconciliation process. We hope that you will work with us to insert this language or find members who are willing to stand together to fight for this important language. I hope to touch base with you soon to discuss this matter.
Language for a Real State Single Payer Option or "ERISA + 4"
A real state single payer option would meet the following minimum criteria.
Disturbing Story Of Fallujah's Birth Defects
Disturbing story of Fallujah's birth defects
By John Simpson | BBC News
Six years after the intense fighting began in the Iraqi town of Fallujah between US forces and Sunni insurgents, there is a disturbingly large number of cases of birth defects in the town.
Fallujah is less than 40 miles (65km) from Baghdad, but it can still be dangerous to get to.
As a result, there has been no authoritative medical investigation, certainly by any Western team, into the allegations that the weapons used by the Americans are still causing serious problems. Read more.

What States Really Need: Chuck Pennacchio Replies to David Sirota
Chuck Pennacchio has the following response to this column by David Sirota:
Interesting piece, David. Thank you.
It's conceptually compelling. But, in detail, the US Senate healthcare bill to which you refer would undermine state innovation, especially state-based single payer legislative campaigns that are making tremendous headway all across the nation.
The US Senate's poison-pill language preempting state initiatives/reforms until 2017 would lock in industry control over HC funding (and, thus, delivery); provide a mandate-driven, ready-made market of some 30M new "consumers" to a predatory, profit-first insurance industry; and, perhaps worst of all, tie the hands of some 20 state-based single payer legislative campaigns working closer and closer to enact the proven Single Payer Solution as both a model for other states and the national government.

"It Isn't Nice," Sung by Margaret Flowers
On Thursday morning, Feb. 25, 2010, a sidewalk summit advocating "Medicare for All," was staged in Washington, D.C., at Lafayette Park, North, not far from the White House. To close the rally, Dr. Margaret Flowers sang her rendition of "It Isn't Nice," a ballad authored by the late, great songwriter and activist, Malvina Reynolds. Dr. Flower was introduced by activist Katie Robbins. For background on the Sidewalk Summit, go here.
Overview of Single-Payer Healthcare in the States, Thanks to Kathlyn Stone
Kathlyn Stone has done what I should have done and collected my recent postings on state level single-payer healthcare on her blog.
The question isn't if a state will enact true health care reform before Congress, but which state and when.
Forget Congressional action on meaningful health care reform. It's clear that whatever national health care legislation is passed, its main intent will be the preservation of a for-profit system.
Actual delivery of health care to all Americans who need it remains a lesser priority than keeping the system profitable. The federal plan will protect the insurance CEOs' eight- and nine-figure salaries and the system of monthly premiums, which with promised rate hikes, will soon equal or exceed our monthly housing payments. Individuals will continue to fund the insurance industry's marketing and bureaucracy through taxes and premiums. As an added bonus for the industry, citizens could be fined if they refuse to purchase its insurance.
The real reform action is taking place in the states.
Single-Payer Healthcare Coming to Minnesota and Maryland
By David Swanson
California keeps passing bills for state single-payer healthcare, but Ahhhnold won't sign em, and Jerry Brown who wants to be governor doesn't seem to want it badly enough to make a commitment on healthcare. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is encouraged that their current governor has said he probably will sign a single-payer healthcare bill, and the legislature just might pass one. But Minnesota has an angle neither of these other states can claim: a serious candidate for governor who is the state's leading advocate for single-payer.
State Senator John Marty was the Democratic nominee for governor of Minnesota 16 years ago and is making another run for it. My friend Vin Gopal, who's working on Marty's campaign, tells me "Senator John Marty is the real deal. If he gets elected Governor this year, which he has a good shot at, it's a whole new ballgame for the single-payer movement. No other statewide candidate in the country is as committed to the movement as he is."
Pennsylvania Likely to Get Healthcare Before Rest of U.S.
By David Swanson
I've been writing about various states just beginning campaigns for single-payer healthcare. Pennsylvania is on the cusp of completing one.
They claim to have the best legislation, which will provide everyone with healthcare, pay for it, and in fact save people and businesses money, as well as getting around the federal restrictions Congressman Dennis Kucinich has attempted unsuccessfully thus far to waive for states. In Pennsylvania they have Democratic and Republican cosponsors. Imagine that in Washington, D.C.! And they have a governor ready to sign the bill into law.
State of Reform
State of Reform
By Lauren Daley | Pittsburgh City Paper
State Sen. Jim Ferlo likens his quest for health-care reform to breaking a concrete wall with a five-pound sledgehammer: Hit the wall once, it shakes. Strike it 10 times, it cracks. Twenty times and it crumbles.
"This is like the sledgehammer against the Berlin Wall," Ferlo says of his effort to create a statewide single-payer health-care plan. Such a measure would bypass insurance companies entirely, having a government agency reimburse doctors and hospitals for medical treatment. "But it's doable."
During much of 2009, debate over the health-care system focused on Washington, D.C., but Democratic efforts at a nationwide reform stalled after a Massachusetts election placed Republican Scott Brown in the late Democrat Ted Kennedy's U.S. Senate seat. That deprived Democrats of the 60-vote majority they need to head off a Republican filibuster of the bill.
But with efforts in Congress faltering, advocates see an opportunity for change at the state level.
"The chance of anything of substance happening in Washington, D.C. ... is less than zero," says Chuck Pennacchio, executive director of Health Care for All Pennsylvania. "We've been saying that for more than three years. Now people are finally listening."
In fact, this month the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee called for the passage of a single-payer system. Pittsburgh City Council and Allegheny County Council also previously passed resolutions supporting various single-payer initiatives.
Ferlo says he's not sure the most viable Democratic candidate ran against Brown in Massachusetts, and he believes Brown's victory was voter reaction to the Democratic Party. "We finally win power in the House, Senate and White House and we're sitting on our hands. That's why I think a lot of people are frustrated," Ferlo says. "They want decisive action.
"I hate to criticize my own party," Ferlo adds -- but "[w]hat great things have they done?"
Ferlo's own initiative is Senate Bill 400, known with a companion measure in the House [HB 1660] as the Pennsylvania Family and Business Health Care Security Act of 2009. The legislation proposes a statewide, publicly funded health-insurance system to replace what Ferlo calls "profit-driven insurers." Read more.
Colorado Could See Single-Payer Healthcare
By David Swanson
Maryland's state senate has scheduled a hearing on a single-payer healthcare bill for March 10th. California's legislature has passed a single-payer bill three times. Single-payer healthcare bills are advancing in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and New Mexico. I recently wrote about two state legislator candidates, Marcus Brandon in North Carolina and Byron DeLear in Missouri, who plan to introduce state single-payer bills immediately upon being elected.
Now, let me tell you about Colorado. Mark Mehringer is a candidate for the Colorado State House from District 7 (Denver). His website at http://votemark2010.com has an issues page and a video on the home page that both put a Medicare-for-All healthcare solution at the top of his agenda.

Nurturing a Vibrant Culture to Drive Innovation
12/09/2008 12:00 PM Wong AuditoriumTerri Kelly, President & CEO, W.L. Gore & AssociatesDescription: W.L. Gore's products alone, such as the eponymous GORE-TEX water and windproof fabrics, and a multitude of unique medical, electronic and industrial materials, might seem to assure the company's success. But Terri Kelly attributes the 50"year"old company's achievements not just to engineering prowess, but to its singular culture.
This privately held company, with $2.5 billion in revenue and 8500 staff worldwide, began as an electronics company in Bill and Vieve Gore's basement. In 1969, their son, Bob, discovered a polymer that was strong, chemically inert, biocompatible and water repellant, with nearly infinite applications. But as Kelly recounts, the Gore family determined not just to develop technology but to grow their company around a set of fundamental beliefs. This philosophy underlies Gore's flow of innovations and sterling business results, says Kelly.
Gore encourages belief in the individual, organization around small teams, recognition that people are in the same boat, and that all must "take the long view." Bill Gore "hated policy manuals and bureaucratic ways of telling the organization what to do," says Kelly. In practice, this means, among other things, that employees are equals (associates), who decide what projects to work on based on "their passion," says Kelly. The company discourages plants with more than 250 associates, to promote intimate communication and team work, and though others "look at this as an unbelievable expense, we see this as a catalyst of growth," says Kelly.
At Gore, new hiring can last for months, because teams conduct interviews; and "everyone has dabble time." Rather than encourage chaos, these methods lead to discipline, insists Kelly, leveraging the strengths of Gore's core technology. The discretion to explore "is earned over time," and associates commit to the success of a product. They are empowered to experiment, and not punished for failing. Compensation is determined by peer review, and is based on contribution to projects.
Kelly is one of the few individuals at Gore with an actual title; leaders emerge by expressing a vision in clear enough terms to inspire others to follow. Leaders must also do a lot of explaining about decisions and actions. All this talk might seem an encumbrance, but upfront work makes complex projects run much more smoothly, assures Kelly. She says the key question is, "Do people like to be part of something greater than their individual contribution? If they get that part right, all other pieces fall into place, which helps us create an innovation cycle at Gore."
About the Speaker(s): Terri Kelly joined Gore as a process engineer in 1983 after graduating summa cum laude from the University of Delaware with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. In her early years with the company, she gained experience as a product specialist with the military fabrics business - a unit she eventually led - helping it grow from a small start"up venture into a leading producer of protective products for the global armed forces.
In 1998, Kelly became part of the leadership team for the global Fabrics Division. In this role, she helped establish a fabrics manufacturing plant in Shenzhen, China - Gore's
first fabrics plant in Asia. Kelly earned the title of
president and CEO in 2005 following a peer"driven selection process. Today W.L. Gore is a a multi"billion dollar enterprise that employs more than 8,000 associates in 45 plants around the world.
In addition to her role at Gore, Kelly is a member of the Management Executives' Society, the Forum of Executive Women of Delaware and the International Women's Forum.

Hello world,
I am reviving this website in part to take my narrative back from those who would build assumptions about me out of the crumbs of my online presence. The Dark Siren is an online persona I created in my college years (when I was an avid console gamer and fan fiction writer) that carried me through some very dark periods of my life. I have had that name and this domain since the early 2000s and I intended to keep it indefinitely.
Recent negative exposure has inclined me to distance myself from my old persona. I thought for a while to erase it entirely, to give up the domain and and the history it represents. But I believe names hold power--not in the magical sense, though some may interpret it that way, but in their power to represent identities and ideas. To abscond a name that has such meaning to me out of fear is the same as sacrificing a part of myself to that fear.
I must be careful, but I will not disappear, and I will not pretend I have nothing to say in order to save myself. While the Dark Siren only represents one aspect of me, she is an important one: the darkness from which my self-loathing and compassion, my desires and creativity have sprung. My writing under that name is a stylized view into my personal thoughts and feelings about the world, about the joys and struggles of existence.
Currently, I am in the process of rebuilding my blog site. It will be fairly bare-bones and have little if any option for interaction. For now I prefer that this project of mine be a one-way window, so to speak. That may change, with some time and experimentation.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences in connection with the Raoul Moat investigation, police said today.
The man, 23, who has not been charged, is the 16th person to be arrested in connection with the case. It follows the arrests of five men last week.
Two men, aged 28 and 36, were arrested in the Newcastle area on suspicion of assisting an offender, on Thursday. They were later released on police bail, pending further inquiries.
Northumbria Police arrested three men, aged 27, 34 and 45, at two addresses in Newcastle and one in Wallsend, on the same charges on Wednesday. They have also been bailed.
So far only two people have been charged in relation to the inquiry.
Karl Ness and Qhuram Awan appeared at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on July 8 charged with conspiracy to commit murder and possessing a firearm with intent.
Ness, 26, from Dudley in North Tyneside, and Awan, 23, from Blyth in Northumberland, were remanded in custody to appear before Newcastle Crown Court later this month.
Moat died after shooting himself in the early hours of July 10 at the end of a six-hour stand-off in the village of Rothbury, Northumberland.
It followed a week-long manhunt for the steroid-abusing father-of-three, who killed Mr Brown, wounded Ms Stobbart and shot Pc David Rathband, 42, in the face, leaving him blind.
Moat went on the rampage after Ms Stobbart told him their relationship was over.
Last week, the opening of the inquest into Moat's death heard that two Tasers were fired at him around the same time as the fatal shot.
Two firearms officers from West Yorkshire Police fired XRep Tasers, which were not approved by the Home Office, it emerged outside the hearing.
The weapon, which is fired from a 12-gauge shotgun, is being tested by the Home Office before being approved for use by police forces in England and Wales.
But the Home Office stressed that police could use any weapon they saw fit as long as its use was "lawful, reasonable and proportionate".
The matter was referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission by Northumbria Police.
The force said it would be "inappropriate to comment" on the Tasers while the IPCC investigation was ongoing.
West Yorkshire Police said they were also unable to comment due to the investigation.

Hi devs!
I have a problem in my OpenGL ES 2.0 game. For some reason bindTexture fails with GL_INVALID_OPERATION
void Widget::initializeGL() { QPixmap image(m_textureFile); glGenTextures(1, &m_texture); m_texture = bindTexture(image); }
My Widget class is a subclass of QGLWidget http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qglwidget.html
Should I do extra calls before I bind texture?
OpenGL has some limitations on textures, among other things. You should query OpenGL capabilities before assuming anything. On BB10, the maximum texture size is either 2048 or 4096, depending on GPU. Also, support for compressed texture formats varies per GPU. See here and here for details.
Innovatology, thank you for details, but I beleive Qt should handle texture formats automatically. I am using 2048x2048 PNG with alpha file for Z10 and 1024x2048 PNG with alpha for Q10. The problem is that sometimes texture is loaded and sometimes not, this is really weird. Like first time you run the app, everything is fine, and after you close it and run again, it gets OpenGL errors.

Interested in Canberra?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Canberra each week.
Topics include Dining Scene, Australia: For Foreign Visitors & more!
Located in southern Australia, and due to the distance from the sea as well as its higher elevation, the capital city features four full seasons. The south of Australia has a climate that is comparable in ways to those of many of the states in the northern part of the United States. As a result of its location, the weather is also similar to the American plains, with hot but dry summers, and equally cold winters. Snowfall isn't as common however, and when it does snow it doesn't generally last.
Summer is from late December until late March, this being the opposite of the northern hemisphere, and January and February are the warmest month with temperatures that are in the mid to upper 80s F or high 20s to mid 30s C during the day and in the 60s F or high teens C at night.
The rainy season is in the spring and throughout the summer from October through March, and along with being the hottest month, January can also be quite wet. The storms in the summer however are quick and passing, and it is the early spring months that have the most days and greatest rainfall.
The winters are cold in Canberra and if you're visiting in July and August you should plan accordingly, with the same type of clothing that you'd wear in Chicago in December. Daytime temperatures range from the low 40s F to the mid 50s F or 5C to the mid teens C. Nights are often at or below freezing, with lowest temperatures around 23F or -5C.
