== ALBANY, N.Y.- NY's court upholds nursing home fiscal res ==

<html>ALBANY,[http://www.hbszy.com/www/show.php?aid=335973 Gene Simmons' Chewed Gum Auctioned Off for Ov],<b>[http://karunaanimalwelfare.org/nike-nfl-jerseys-for-sale.html cheap custom nfl jerseys online for sale]</b>,[http://pipedigital.com/outros/afswiki/index.php?title=User:Fquqqnsz6#Steve_Sarkisian_says_Washington_Huskies_are_mentally_tougher Steve Sarkisian says Washington Huskies are mentally tougher], N.Y. New York's top court has upheld a state law restricting asset or equity withdrawals from nursing homes without prior approval from state health officials.
 +
The Court of Appeals says the restriction on withdrawals exceeding 3 percent of a facility's most recently reported annual revenue from patient care isn't "so outrageously arbitrary" as to be unconstitutional.
 +
The seven judges say preserving nursing home financial capacity to provide care is a proper concern of the state Legislature.
 +
They unanimously overturned lower courts,<b>[http://karunaanimalwelfare.org/nike-nfl-jerseys-for-sale.html wholesale nike nfl jerseys]</b>, which concluded the measure violated the rights of facility owners with positive net worth.
 +
They also rejected arguments that the law gives Department of Health officials too much discretion to deny withdrawals.</html>

== SACRAMENTO, Calif.- High court won't stop California inm ==
 +
 +
<html>SACRAMENTO, Calif. The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will not interfere with a previous order requiring California to cut its prison population by thousands of inmates, leaving Gov. Jerry Brown with just one more chance to persuade a lower court to delay or stop the releases.
 +
The justices did not comment on their order, which leaves in place the earlier ruling by a panel of three federal judges requiring California to reduce its prison population by an additional 9,600 inmates to improve medical and mental health treatment.
 +
"They already lost once and the Supreme Court said you don't get a second bite at the apple," said Michael Bien,[http://dev.independent-magazine.org/classifieds/13/10/liza-minnelli-performs-broken-wrist-ny Liza Minnelli performs with broken wrist in NY], one of the attorneys representing inmates. "Hopefully it's the signal to all the parties that it's time to comply with the three-judge court's orders and move on with the reforms that are necessary, rather than resisting."
 +
The decision came as state officials are in settlement talks with attorneys representing inmates. The state hopes to persuade the skeptical lower court judges that its latest plan will work.
 +
"In the last two years, California has made the most significant reforms to our criminal justice system in decades, reducing the prison population by 25,000 inmates, " Deborah Hoffman, spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said in a statement on behalf of Brown's administration.
 +
"While we're disappointed the state's case won't be heard,<b>[http://swissembroideries.com/jerseys.html football jerseys wholesale]</b>, under SB 105 California will continue to build on these landmark reforms with our law enforcement and local government partners,<b>[http://swissembroideries.com/jerseys.html football jerseys cheap]</b>,[http://www.comebenezer.com/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Rhvbjhhf8#Post_Magazine-_September_15 Post Magazine- September 15]," she said.
 +
Last month, Brown signed SB105, a bill allowing the state to spend $315 million this fiscal year to house thousands of inmates in private prisons and county jails unless the lower court postpones its deadline for reducing the prison population.
 +
If the court agrees to a three-year delay, as the Legislature wants, the bill requires the state to spent part of the money on rehabilitation programs intended to reduce the inmate count over time.
 +
Both proposals would replace a previous ruling that said the state can safely release more than 4,000 inmates by increasing good-behavior credits. The ruling also calls for early releases for elderly and medically incapacitated inmates and sending more inmates to firefighting camps and new facilities.
 +
The lower court had threatened to cite Brown for contempt if he did not comply, but last month the judges ordered the state to negotiate with inmates' attorneys toward a possible compromise.
 +
In 2011, Supreme Court justices ruled that the lower court panel had the authority to order California to reduce inmate overcrowding as the key condition for improving conditions.
 +
In considering the state's appeal a second time,<b>[http://karunaanimalwelfare.org/nike-nfl-jerseys-for-sale.html cheap custom nfl jerseys online for sale]</b>, the high court had three options: affirming the three-judge court's decision, dismissing it because of a lack of jurisdiction, or accepting the case on appeal.
 +
"The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction," the court said, without further explanation. The court earlier this year rejected the state's request to delay the lower court's order, signaling that it was unlikely to consider the appeal.
 +
At the heart of the case is a 2001 lawsuit filed on behalf of inmates who claimed medical treatment in the prisons was so poor it was leading to a death a week through neglect or malpractice.
 +
The federal courts agreed, saying conditions were so bad that they violated inmates' constitutional rights against cruel and unusual punishment.
 +
In addition to spending billions of dollars on new medical facilities and staff, the state also has been ordered to reduce overcrowding, which was seen as a main obstacle to providing better health care. The state has also been forced to take similar steps to improve inmate mental health treatment, the subject of a separate lawsuit.
 +
California's state prison population already has been reduced by more than 46,000 inmates since 2006 to meet the federal court mandates. The judges have ordered that the population in the state's 33 adult prisons be reduced to 137.5 percent of design capacity or 110,000 inmates by the end of this year.
 +
In arguing against the inmate-reduction order, the Brown administration said the state would have to release serious and violent offenders. The governor also argued in court filings that the lower court has overstepped its authority under federal law.
 +
Brown remained combative even after the lower court gave the state a one month reprieve from its year-end deadline for releasing prisoners, to allow time for the negotiations. Brown immediately filed a supplemental appeal with the Supreme Court objecting that the lower court simultaneously blocked the state from contracting to send more inmates to private prisons in other states.
 +
Brown argues that the population cap is no longer needed because prison health care has improved significantly. He also contends that the state lacks lower-risk offenders who could safely be released early because most of those are already being sentenced to county jails instead of state prisons.</html>

== That's ruff- Crash tests use dummy dogs ==
 +
 +
<html>in Reston, Va., has a set of crash-test dog dummies that were battered, throttled and sent flying to test several car safety restraints.
 +
 +
The rare study of travel products marketed to animal owners was released earlier this month and will be followed by tests of car crates, carriers and barriers. Lifejackets are on the short list of products to be tested as soon as funding is found.
 +
 +
Inspiration for the center and its inaugural test came nearly a decade ago.
 +
 +
Wolko's dog, Maggie, was seriously injured when Wolko braked to avoid a traffic collision. Despite a restraint,<b>[http://swissembroideries.com/jerseys.html football jerseys cheap]</b>, the English cocker spaniel smashed into the back of the driver's seat, spraining her spine and hip and getting her back legs tangled in the harness.
 +
 +
Once Maggie recovered,[http://wiki-ins.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Vjpiampi1#Carson_sinks_to_a_new_low Carson sinks to a new low], Wolko, an automotive engineer, started performing safety tests on her pet and other dogs. She sold products she liked on her for-profit website,<b>[http://swissembroideries.com/jerseys.html football jerseys wholesale]</b>,[http://xn--onqu75bcvap11j.tkcs.com.tw/discuz/viewthread.php?tid=11541192&extra= St. Luke’s Foundation hosts its inaugural Heart Golf Classic], caninecommuter.com.
 +
 +
Often, however, she found the safety equipment, toys and cleaning products were mostly untested and either failed to work as promised or fell apart.
 +
 +
Because of the lack of oversight and the lack of testing in the industry it is quite the 'Wild West' out there you are consistently putting consumers and their dogs at risk, Wolko said.
 +
 +
Just as the popularity of pet products boomed, Wolko split with sales. She got her nonprofit credentials, officially opened the safety center in July 2011, met with engineers and started building a bulldog dummy.
 +
 +
The 55-pound bulldog is anatomically correct, stuffed with computer equipment and has the same center of gravity as the real animal. That model was used in the pilot project reviewing four products.
 +
 +
MGA Resource Corp., an independent lab in Manassas, Va., conducted all the crash tests using Wolko's dog dummies.
 +
 +
When the pilot results were released,<b>[http://karunaanimalwelfare.org/nike-nfl-jerseys-for-sale.html wholesale nike nfl jerseys]</b>, Subaru of America Inc. signed on to fund the rest of the study.
 +
 +
The final tests included a 75-pound golden retriever, 45-pound border collie and a 25-pound terrier mix.
 +
 +
The Sleepypod Clickit Utility Harness was the only one out of seven that protected all the dummies in 30 mph crashes.
 +
 +
This was the only brand that consistently kept the dog on the seat for every test. It prevented the launch of the dogs and prevented side-to-side and fore-and-aft rotation of the dog and helped keep the spine fairly stable, Wolko said.
 +
 +
The rest had hardware problems, construction issues, connection point failures, the stitching broke or there was catastrophic failure and the dog flew off the seat or out of the harness, she said.
 +
 +
Representatives from all the product manufacturers were invited to attend the testing, and four showed up, she said.
 +
 +
Consumer Reports magazine published the center's results.
 +
 +
It's not surprising that attention is being focused on safety because a huge number of car buyers want to drive with their pets, said Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst with Edmunds.com. A pet that isn't harnessed in a car is really dangerous. That animal propels through a car like a missile.
 +
 +
Subaru, which markets its cars to pet owners, plans to feature the winning safety harness in a newsletter that goes out to 5 million people and to offer it for sale in its gear catalog, said Michael McHale, director of communications for the car company.
 +
 +
Wolko is an associate member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, with a bachelor's degree from George Mason University. She is CEO and heads the product research division of the center, which contracts with a few part-time consultants but otherwise is run by volunteers.
