                  Apparently, It's OK to Plagiarize a Voter ID Law

                  U.S. Appeals panel officially upholds Wisconsin voter ID law. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/6/2014)

                  Indiana's law served as the copycat ALEC model
                  Writing for the unanimous appeals panel, Judge Frank Easterbrook determined Wisconsin's law was essentially identical to an Indiana voter ID law that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in 2008.

                  Healthcare-Associated Infections in the United States Kill 99,000 Hospital Patients Annually



                  Transcript:
                  On any given day, about 1 in 25 hospital patients have an infection caused by their medical care. Almost half of these patients are 65 or older. 

                  There are 5 places where patients are most likely to get infections: 
                  • in the bloodstream, 
                  • the urinary tract, 
                  • the gut, 
                  and the two most common places are the 
                  • site of surgery and 
                  • the lungs. 

                  The germs most likely to cause healthcare associated infections include: 
                  • C. difficile, or deadly diarrhea
                  • Staph, including the drug-resistant type known as MRSA
                  • a family of germs known as Enterobacteriaceae, that include CRE the "nightmare bacteria" 
                  • Enterococcus, which can be resistant to an important antibiotic, vancomycin, and
                  • Pseudomonas, which can cause infections of the lungs and bloodstream. 

                  One in every 9 patients who gets an infection will die during their hospitalization. 

                  Over the last several years, great progress has been made in preventing some infections.  For example, bloodstream infections in patients with central lines have been nearly cut in half in the last 5 years.  But more work needs to be done.  CDC's goal is to eliminate all healthcare-associated  infections.  We work 24/7 to save lives and protect people.

                  Not exactly a confidence builder.

                  The 2006 email from Nettles included a forwarded message from Serigraph CEO John Torinus in which he shared his personal assessment of Burke based on a conversation with her after a meeting of Milwaukee’s regional economic development group. 

                  “She sees a continuing need to have a war chest to help individual companies for political reasons, but doesn’t really believe that many of these projects are justified,” Torinus wrote. “She said she is getting unending requests from companies for ‘corporate welfare.’”
