In July, students will experi-ence a more patient-friendly Stu-dent Health Center with the imple-mentation of an electronic clinic management system.

The electronic system, Medi-cat, features a portal where students can complete medical forms in ad-vance, communicate with clinicians in a secure environment, request prescription refi lls, review billing statements, view lab results, sched-

ule appointments and receive auto-matic reminders of previously scheduled appointments.

The system also has a self check-in station for patients.

Medicat will establish clinical care protocols, quality improve-ment measures and effi cient com-munication between clinicians and students.

Medicat has an electronic health record system, which can alert clinicians to referrals and fol-low-ups, as well as patient-specifi c care items. The system maintains student confi dentiality and HIPAA compliance.

The Mental Health Service began the implementation process in January. The Offi ce of Health Promotion began its transition in

Mayor-President Melvin “Kip” Holden declared last Saturday “Red Stick Ready Day” in East Baton Rouge Parish to encour-age locals to prepare for the hurricane season.

Red Stick Ready Day took place at the Mall of Louisiana where local, state, federal and private agencies worked together to hand out information, speak with residents, pres-ent preparedness tips and give away essential items.

“We learned through experience that the better prepared our citizens are for an emergency situation, the more effectively we

can work as a community to stay safe, mini-mize disruption and recover more quickly,” Holden said. “We want citizens to have an opportunity to talk directly with the fi rst re-sponders, who work to keep them safe dur-ing emergencies, and also learn how they can help be a part of our city-parish response.”

Will White, emergency preparedness co-ordinator with the Mayor’s Offi ce of Home-land Security & Emergency Preparedness, said the even went well, with more than 500 people in attendance.

The Louisiana House and Sen-ate passed a $37.4 million tuition in-crease across public colleges in the state last week.

Senators in the Joint Legisla-tive Committee on the Budget voted 8-5 for the bill, while House Repre-sentatives passed the bill 13-4.

The 10 percent increase will allow the University to raise tuition fee costs from $5,764 to $6,350 this fall.

Five percent of the increases comes from legislation passed in 2008, which has allowed the Uni-versity to increase tuition by fi ve percent over the course of four years. This is the last year these in-creases will be issued to the Univer-sity.

The remaining fi ve percent of the tuition increases comes from the LA GRAD Act 2.0, which was passed in the Senate Education Committee earlier this month.

These increases will be issued in the fall. Although tuition will be more expensive, the act will grant Louisiana universities more

Earthquake rattles northern Chile, no damage reported yet

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A 6.5-magnitude earthquake rattled a sparsely populated area of northern Chile on Monday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or in-juries.

The quake’s epicenter was lo-cated about 55 miles (90 kilometers) west of Calama in northern Chile, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The earthquake at 12:35 p.m. local time (12:35 p.m. EDT; 16:35 GMT) lasted about a minute and was felt most strongly in northern cities.

Libya says NATO airstrike kills 15 in compound west of capital city

SURMAN, Libya (AP) — Libya’s government said a NATO airstrike west of Tripoli early Monday de-stroyed a large family compound belonging to a close associate of Moammar Gadhafi , killing at least 15 people, including three chil-dren, the second such claim in as many days.

Gadhafi ’s regime has repeat-edly accused NATO of targeting civilians in an attempt to rally sup-port against international interven-tion into Libya’s civil war. The al-liance insists it tries to avoid killing civilians.

Man urinates in water, city � ushes 8 million gallons from reservoir

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — After 21-year-old man was caught on a camera urinating into a reservoir, Or-egon’s biggest city is sending 8 mil-lion gallons of treated drinking water down the drain.

Portland offi cials defended the decision Monday, saying they didn’t want to send city residents water laced, however infi nitesimally, with urine.

Public health offi cials say, how-ever, that urine is sterile in healthy people and that the urine in the reser-voir was so diluted — perhaps a half pint in millions of gallons — that it posed little risk.Husband: Gifford recovering, had reunion with staff in Tucson

Hope and uncertainty as UNO looks to leave LSU system for UL system

(AP) — Hurricane Katrina, the dis-missal of a popular chancellor and a proposed merger with a neighboring institution are over, but uncertainty remains at the University of New Or-leans, which opened 52 years ago as an arm of Louisiana State University and is preparing to leave the fold.

Votes in the House and Senate on Monday moved the university closer to a transfer from the LSU System — where, some feel it has operated in the shadow of the cam-pus in Baton Rouge — to the Uni-versity of Louisiana System. UL op-erates Louisiana Tech, Nicholls State and other regional universities.

Final legislative budget passed without cuts to spending

(AP) — Despite talk of pos-sible cuts, the House and Senate backed a budget for themselves Monday that doesn’t trim annual spending in legislative agencies next year.

The $89 million legislative budget given fi nal passage with a unanimous vote of the Senate is a standstill spending plan, even as cuts have stripped funding from agencies across state govern-ment.

In his third public appearance since the revolt, Assad returned to a now-familiar refrain: He blamed the unrest on “saboteurs,” offered mod-est potential reforms but gave no sign he’d move toward ending the Assad family’s political domination.

Juneteenth participants dance to music Thursday during the event, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States.

The African American Cultural Center hosted a Juneteenth celebration Thursday to recognize the emancipation of slaves in the United States.

The event included music, food and a performance by a Mardi Gras Indian, as well as a history lesson for students.

financial flexibility and possibly cut costs.

LSU and other colleges are also expected to meet certain account-ability standards such as admission and graduation rates.

Earlier in the year there were increases to Louisiana graduate, medical and vet schools, as well.

The approval of the increases gives the tuition increases passage. However, tuition and fee increases faced much opposition this session among legislators.

Several legislators were frus-trated with Gov. Bobby Jindal’s plan to increase tuition at state uni-versities while vetoing a bill to re-new a 4-cent cigarette tax in recent weeks, calling Jindal irresponsible.

Bills to increase college tuition by approximately another $85 mil-lion remain in the House among strong opposition. According to several legislative sources, these cuts and increases are not likely to pass.

The passage of this bill shows a shift in the legislative branch’s opinion on the budgets for state schools. Senator Elbert Guillory, D-Opelousas, said the increases were necessary.

“What the state has done to some extent is hobbled higher edu-cation by just cutting the budgets since our education costs are much lower than southern regional aver-age. For higher education to suc-ceed we need to increase the way they can get money,” Guillory said. “We need to find some way to let universities and colleges get more money. The figures yelled out, screamed out desperately. [The uni-versities] just weren’t going to be able to function.”

Guillory said although tuition increases may put a large strain on students, he sees no way around it.

“I think that the students are just going to have to suck it up,” he said. “I have a daughter who is a senior in college right now. … I’m going to have to dig deeper in my pocket to help. But the university she attends has to be able to func-tion. If it cannot provide a good education, I lose double.”

Chancellor Michael Martin ex-pressed a similar sentiment, saying although the increases may put a strain on students, they are impor-tant for the University’s long-term success and growth.

“No one likes tuition increases, but LSU students can be assured that every dollar is going to main-tain quality education,” he said in an email to The Daily Reveille. “LSU remains one of the best bargains for a national university and provides a disproportionate amount of need-based aid.”

Martin said the nation is seeing a shift in opinion of higher educa-tion due to economic struggles. Stu-dents are being expected to pay a larger percent of their tuition if they seek to receive quality education.

“As state budgets get tighter, state policymakers are consider-ing a college education more for its private value as opposed to the older notion of a degree as a public value,” Martin said. “The outstand-ing national reputation LSU has achieved opens doors and opportu-nities for its graduates. Maintaining quality has significant long-term benefits throughout the lives of our students.”

season all year.“We have segued into hur-

ricane season,” she said. “Every year we stay prepared to make sure we coordinate resources so the community feels the least impact hazards the parish may face. We always prepare for the worst and hope for the best.”

MOHSEP is scheduled to train 3,000 children through the YMCA and Big Buddy Program to become Junior Emergency Managers and practice safety precautions.

Ashley Berthelot, media rela-tions officer at the Office of Com-munications and University Rela-tions, said students need to keep informed about potential weather threats by monitoring local media outlets.

“[Students] should also fre-quently visit the LSU homepage, watch out for University broad-cast messages and, if they haven’t already done so, sign up for the emergency text message system,” Berthelot said.

Berthelot said during severe weather, the University’s Emergen-cy Operations Center closely moni-tors the situation, making closure decisions on a case-by-case basis.

The 2011 hurricane season is predicted to include 17 named

storms, 8 hurricanes and 5 ma-jor hurricanes, according to chief weather forecaster Pat Shingleton at WBRZ News 2 Louisiana.

Currently temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico are in the low 80s. In peak hurricane season these tem-peratures will rise to around 89 de-grees. High temperatures will cause weather systems to “spin,” poten-tially forming hurricanes.

Although hurricane season be-gan at the beginning of this month, Shingleton predicted June will be a mild month for U.S. storms. He said storms will likely be isolated in the Southern Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

In July the U.S. will see more activity as storms migrate from Af-rica’s coast, he said.

Baton Rouge residents tradi-tionally experience severe weather during the 9-10 week period from late August to early October. Shin-gleton predicts a similar pattern this year.

“We have been fortunate not to have seen a lot of activity in Ba-ton Rouge over the last few years,” Shingleton said. “But it doesn’t matter how many there are. It only takes one storm to set a community back.”

March, and the Medical Office is expected to “go live” in July.

“It’s exciting as staff to see the changes,” said Julie Hupperich, associate director of the Student Health Center.

Hupperich said the cost of the complete Medicat system is under $100,000. She said the Student Health Center administration has been evaluating the system for years and has reserved funds for the purchase and related fees. The system will not require additional funding from students.

Hupperich said the previ-ous system was outdated and had many limitations for students and staff. The previous system was based on the University mainframe

and built for the facility by Infor-mation Technology Services. The system included paper charts and forms throughout the building.

“The system will transform the way we provide care to our campus community and increase accessibility for students,” Hupp-erich said.

Kinesiology sophomore Christa Mahlobo said she likes the changes.

“Most of the things students do are online, so being able to set up appointments online will make everything much simpler,” she said.

After six seasons playing for the National Football League, former defensive tackle Art Moore was poisoned by rivals. Doctors told Moore he would probably die.

This near-fatal event was the catalyst that eventually turned the 6-foot-6-inch athlete into the senior pastor of the Yes I Can! church in Baton Rouge.

Moore and his wife Gail, a professional singer, started Yes I Can! as a non-profit in 1979. The ministry grew into a church located off Corporate Boulevard about a year ago.

Moore grew up in Daingerfield, Texas, and at age 13 he longed to become a football player.

After graduating from the University of Tulsa, Moore was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 1973 before moving to the New England Patriots for most of his athletic career.

In the late ’70s, while recovering from the attack, Moore realized he and Gail had a unique platform to reach out to youth and positively impact their community.

“After I got through the life and death situation, I believe the Lord spoke to me and told me to leave the NFL,” Moore said. “My wife and I began to let young men and women know that life is not all about the things you can acquire, or having a big name or having a big house — because I had all of that. But when I got sick I real-ized none of that could do anything.”

Moore said he and Gail began build-ing a network across the nation. They used their backgrounds to draw crowds, telling people about the importance of making the

right choices and following God.Their network expanded, and the Moores began conduct-

ing missionary outreach, bringing medicines to other countries in addition to developing local programs.

The Moores toured around the country — and were in-vited to speak at The Dunham School in Baton Rouge.

“For some reason we had three weeks in our calendar that wouldn’t book, so we came down here,” Art Moore said. “We thought maybe we had missed God. We prayed about it and have been here about 12 years.”

Moore has held the Yes I Can! In Yo Face three-on-three basketball tournament in Baton Rouge for 10 years. The most recent event took place Saturday in University parking lot 174

The LSU softball head coaching vacancy has been filled – for the sec-ond time this month.

A week after Alabama softball head coach Patrick Murphy backed out of the position, LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva tabbed Florida International University’s Beth To-rina on Monday afternoon to take the reins of the program.

Torina compiled a 129-111 record at FIU, including a 38-21 showing in 2010 en route to her

second Sun Belt Coach of the Year distinction. That year Torina led the Lady Panthers to the school’s sec-ond NCAA Tournament and notched their first ever tournament victory.

The 2010 season also featured a win against a 4th ranked Flori-da team, the school’s first victory against a Top 5 team.

Under her tutelage, Torina saw 10 players receive a total of 14 All-Sun Belt honors. Among these recip-ients was standout Ashley McClain, who this year earned her second con-secutive First-Team All-Sun Belt and First-Team All-South Region honors as well as 2010 Player of the Year recognition.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Beth to LSU and for her to take the leadership reins of our

softball program,” Alleva said in an Athletic Department news release. “She brings great passion, energy and character to our program and

will wear the pur-ple and gold with pride.”

In addition to her four years as FIU head coach, Torina also served as head assistant at the University of Houston for six seasons, where she helped guide

the Cougars to a 2007 Conference USA championship as well as two NCAA Regional berths.

The 2011 LSU football hype is beginning to warm up as senior quarterback Jordan Jefferson re-ceived national publicity last week, visiting the ESPN campus to take part in interviews on a number of programs.

Following completion of what head coach Les Miles believes to be the strongest spring camp yet, Jefferson spent a day at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., making appearances on ESPN First Take, College Football Live and The Scott Van Pelt Show.

The quarterback discussed topics including the season opener against Oregon, new offensive co-ordinator Steve Kragthorpe and his personal growth as a quarterback and a leader.

With spring practice reports de-scribing a more mature and polished quarterback, Jefferson tackled ques-tions regarding his poise in the wake of a season in which he accounted for only four passing touchdowns.

“I’m focused on being a leader for my team. The team needs me to come through at times when it’s the most critical,” Jefferson empha-sized in his College Football Live interview.

Jefferson cited preseason rec-ognition as a motivating factor for the team’s solid spring, noting that being ranked among the best teams in the country going into the season created elevated enthusiasm.

“Being in that category really brings a high intensity to our foot-ball team,” the 20-year-old quarter-back said.

The season opener against Or-egon at Cowboys Stadium proved to be a topic of interest throughout the day. The quarterback reflected

on his play in the 2011 Cotton Bowl against Texas A&M at the same venue as valuable experience coming into the highly-anticipated matchup.

“Playing in that bowl game really helped me feel comfortable because now I feel like that’s my sanctuary,” Jefferson said.

Jefferson remarked that the game was “basically like a champi-onship game for us,” acknowledg-ing the building excitement of play-ers and fans.

Like many LSU fans, a number of ESPN pundits were interested in the effect Kragthorpe will have on an LSU offensive line ranked 86th nationally in 2010.

Characterizing Kragthorpe as an “aggressive” coach, Jeffer-son said the offensive coordinator

trimmed down the playbook in an effort to create a streamlined of-fense.

“It simplifies all of what we need to know,” Jefferson comment-ed in his interview. “We’re going to take these few plays, and we’re go-ing to master these plays.”

Jefferson made reference to the pressure surrounding the upcoming season but feels ready to be a take command in the midst of high ex-pectations.

“I have a chance to lead a na-tional championship team,” Jeffer-son said.

After a disappointing winless season in which half the games were forfeited, the LSU ice hockey team is sure 2011 will be their turn-around year, said general manager Gerry Bloom and team president Brandon Holy.

The team, which plays in the South Eastern Collegiate Hockey Conference, faces many schools the football team also battles.

Holy and Bloom said last year’s disappointing season was caused by a number of circum-stances.

Bloom said some players broke rules and had to leave the team. The team also had diffi-culty recruiting, which added to the shortage of players. Holy said the shortage resulted in forfeiting games, which led to probation.

This season the team’s probation will be lifted and they

will regain full member status in the conference.

Bloom said cutting players, while detrimental in the short term, creates a strong core. He said the example will teach new players how to properly represent the Uni-versity.

Recruiting hasn’t been a prob-lem this season. Holy said nearly 60 prospects are interested in join-ing. Many recruits will attend re-cruiting weekend on July 18 and 19.

Bloom said recruiting week-end, which is open to high school juniors and seniors, allows parents and prospective players to tour the program and the University. He said many parents feel better sending their children out of state knowing the club staff will support them.

Tryouts for next season will be held on August 24 and 25. Bloom said interested players can visit lsuhockey.com or call Bloom at

(225) 362-9631 for more informa-tion.

The team is composed of play-ers from Louisiana and Texas, usual for an LSU team. However, there are players from as far away as New Hampshire, Michigan and Ontario, Canada.

Bloom said he stresses disci-pline and both mental and physical strength. He said having a tough at-titude and thick skin keeps a player from fighting and stops unneces-sary penalties caused by verbal sparring.

Many people are surprised to learn LSU has an ice hockey team. Holy said after Bloom was interviewed by ESPN Radio, he re-ceived a call from Les Miles, who had never heard about the team and was excited to learn more.

Bloom said slow team growth is due to bad marketing. Bloom said hockey is an expensive sport, which leaves the team limited funds for advertising.

The team’s home rink is Leo’s Iceland, which is a few miles northeast of campus. The team also plays home games in Lafayette at Planet Ice. Holy said the dual arena setup offers improved facilities and the potential for larger crowds. Holy said the team has also been invited to play at the Cajundome this season.

The Tigers’ 2011-12 season will open against Ole Miss at the Desoto Civic Center in Desoto, Miss.

A former University of Florida star, Torina also has experience as a recruiting coordinator at the Uni-versity of Houston. Among her top recruits was Angel Shamblin, who went on to twice win Conference USA Pitcher of the Year accolades as well as a National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American award.

A press conference introducing Torina will be held Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the Athletic Administration Building.

Controversy simmered last week after Patrick Murphy accepted the softball head coaching post, only

to return to Alabama a few days later. In an interview with the Birmingham News, Murphy cited a change of heart as his reason for leaving, stat-ing that assistant Alyson Habetz, who was to join him at LSU, felt the same way.

Murphy also said that emotions were running high after Alabama was ousted from the Women’s Col-lege World Series, around the time Alleva contacted him.

“He throws everything at you, and it’s like you go from the lowest of lows to like, ‘Damn, somebody really wants to do something for me.’ It just kind of snowballed,” Murphy recalled in the interview. “I made an

emotional decision, and now I regret it.”

Torina’s hiring comes a month after the close of the storied career of long-time LSU head coach Yvette Girouard.

Girouard, whose tenure at LSU goes back 11 seasons, assembled a 526-171-1 record during her time at the University, including a 40-18 sea-son in 2011. The 31-year collegiate-coaching veteran won 14 Louisiana Coach of the Year awards, including five at LSU.

“We advertise this as an edgy basketball tournament, but it’s really how we get all these people together to ... speak to them about admiration of God,” Moore said.

Ferzell Shepard, slam dunk con-test winner, said he has been playing basketball since 1993. Shepard said this was his first year participating

“I think it’s a great event,” Shepard said. “These kinds of things keep a lot of people out of trouble, and it gives them a chance to be themselves.”

Art Moore said if Yes I Can! can help even one person, all the effort is worthwhile.

“It’s kind of like in the Bible,” Moore said. “In the Bible, God gave Moses a stick. Our stick happened to be sports and music. Whatever it is you do, that is your opportunity to try to do some good in the world.”

Back in the marvelous month of March, a bright and young star was born.

I’m not talking about a new star millions of light-years away in our universe — I’m talking about right here on YouTube.

Rebecca Black’s video “Fri-day” ignited the online scene, go-ing viral merely a month after it was originally uploaded.

Many people hated it, and it accumulated more than 3 million “dislikes” on YouTube.

I for one fell in love with it, annoying my friends every Friday with her majestic voice and awe-inspiring lyrics.

Unfortunately, three months and over 160 million views later, Black’s “Friday” has been pulled from YouTube with the message “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebec-ca Black.”

Talk about biting the hand that feeds, Rebecca.

However, many YouTube videos have been pulled from the popular streaming website because

companies are claiming copyright infringement.

As some-one who is a huge fan of the video game “Rock Band,” I used to go on YouTube to check out the new songs be-ing released.

Yet, more and more of these videos display-ing song charts were removed from YouTube thanks to a copyright claim.

To combat these claims, Google (YouTube’s owner) start-ing making users go to “Copyright School” for violating the site’s copyright rules.

Users had to watch a set of videos and answer a test before be-ing allowed to post again.

When this “school” was launched back in April, I thought it was laughable at best — but boy was I wrong.

Politicians have taken notice

to these copyright problems and have once again starting messing around in things they don’t under-stand.

Last Thursday, the “Ten Strikes” bill, formerly known as S. 978 in the United States Senate, was reviewed in the Committee on the Judiciary and has been moved forward to be considered by the Senate as a whole.

The “Ten Strikes” bill is set to help better define criminal acts of copyright violation, while also defining criminal penalties for said violation.

If the bill were to be passed, it would call for strict penalties for violators.

According to the bill, viola-tors could be “imprisoned not more than five years for 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works.”

What this means is if you were to record a copy of this week’s new episode of “Futurama,” upload it to YouTube and have ten or more people view it, you could go to jail

for five years.That is if the bill is passed,

mind you.While this makes sense on

something as blatantly obvious as a television show or movie, it doesn’t stop there.

Say you were to go out to karaoke night at a bar with some friends, record a video of your drunken buddy butchering “Don’t Stop Believin’” and upload it to YouTube.

If that song has copyright pro-tection — as many songs do — you could possibly face jail time according to the “Ten Strikes” bill.

This is completely ridiculous.As much as I want to see

12-year-old kids who badly cover popular songs pulled off the Inter-net forever, YouTube already has an improving set of rules and pro-cedures to deal with the situation.

There is no reason to threaten amateur singers with jail time.

This bill is absolutely ludi-crous and once again proves poli-ticians don’t understand anything about technology and only care

about their own re-elections.It’s just like when they cause

a ruckus trying to ban what they claim are violent and inappropriate video games, but I digress — that’s a different column for a different day.

I hope this proposed bill won’t see the light of day — it’s absurdly stupid.

But if it does, you better start watching what you record and up-load to streaming sites like You-Tube or you may end up becoming a new, young star to your cellmate in prison.

Editor’s Note: The letter is ed-ited for space. Read the full letter online at lsureveille.com.

In Thursday’s edition of The Daily Reveille, columnist Parker Cramer delivered a respectable — albeit factually misguided — mor-al argument in favor of expanding our government’s role in the health care sector to provide for the needs of less fortunate citizens.

Any discussion about health care in this country must start within a proper context so as to not be distorted by petty ad hominem attacks and politically charged ac-cusations of “not caring about the poor.” Virtually everyone agrees on the problems — high costs, relatively limited provision, etc. — and wants to make our health care system more affordable and, hence, more sustainable for every-one involved. The debate is cen-tered on trying to figure out how best to achieve those goals.

In this case, as with so many morally-charged political talking points these days — the contro-versy is not over “what” we wish to accomplish, but rather “how” we wish to go about implementing that desired change. One option is to in-crease the government’s role in the medical sector. The second is to re-duce government interventions and allow more voluntary market activ-ity. If Cramer is indeed pushing for the first option, I presume he does so solely out of negligence and not any sort of malicious attempt to warp the truth.

In 1960, prior to Medicare, Medicaid and countless other government initiatives directed to slash costs and vastly extend medi-cal coverage, the government only covered 21.4 percent of personal medical expenditures. Americans covered 55.2 percent out of pocket. Most of the rest came from private medical insurance.

In 2000, however, after 40 years of dramatic government in-tervention, the government cov-ered 43.3 percent of personal medical expenditures, through Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP and other government programs. Out of pocket spending totaled less than 10 percent.

Yet during the same 40-year period, total personal medical-re-lated spending increased more than tenfold, from inflation adjusted $111 billion in 1960 to an incred-ible $1.13 trillion in 2000.

In the era of intense govern-ment control and cartelization, health care cost as a share of GNP have increased four times, climb-ing from 4 percent to 12 percent of the overall domestic economy. Ris-ing costs, burdensome regulation, suppression of competition — via various licensing and insurance schemes — are the true culprits in America’s health care struggles—not any purported vestige of “lais-sez-faire.”

As economist Steve Leavitt has noted, virtually every good econo-mist would agree there are two things the government should’ve done to fix health care: 1. break the link between employment and the provision of health care and 2. make individuals pay for the ser-vices they get, rather than sharing of the costs and thereby driving up consumption demand and, hence, costs.

Unfortunately, the 2010 health care legislation did nothing to ame-liorate these problems. If anything, it greatly exacerbated them. In a

world of scarce resources and in-finite needs, President Obama’s plan failed to create more resourc-es to deal with our nation’s health care needs. It simply loaded more passengers on an already over-burdened ship under the guise of providing “affordable health care for all.” Not surprisingly, medi-cal costs have accelerated their upward trend since the bill’s pas-sage.

Given the deluge of red ink on the liability side of the govern-ment’s balance sheet — more than $14 trillion in debt and $100 tril-lion in unfunded liabilities — it’s hard to draw a comparison be-tween a profit maximizing firm and our government. (Granted, in to-day’s age of crony capitalism and massive corporate bailouts, there might indeed be some unintended similarities.) If this is the kind of return American investors can ex-pect from their government, CEO Barack Obama has a lot of ex-planin’ to do at the nation’s upcom-ing shareholder’s convention next November.

It is no accident the most high-ly regulated industries in America — health care, education, banking and perhaps most despicably: for-eign imperialism — are also the

most wildly inefficient. Economically speaking, there

are no economies of scale in health care that require explicit govern-ment monopolization of an already government-cartelized — if not implicitly socialized — industry. Bigger government is not always better. To the contrary, it almost never is. This leviathan is not only an affront to individual liberty, but is also an assault on more than two centuries of economic knowledge and experience.

The answers to our nation’s health care problems lie not in increased government initiatives, but in innovation, open competi-tion and (gasp!) massive deregula-tion. Sadly, the ideas presented in today’s political debate represent a false dichotomy. But calling for further government cartelization and compulsion to fix the problems caused by government carteliza-tion and compulsion is like using a guillotine to cure recurring mi-graines.

SCUM OF THE GIRTH

TO THE POINT

What we can all learn from Raymond K. Hessel, “Fight Club”

Welfare drug testing bill warrents Fourth Amendment overrideLast week a Louisiana State

Senate committee voted 5-2 to pass House Bill 7, which requires random drug testing of 20 percent of adults receiving cash assistance from the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program.

Critics of the bill claim it’s an unconstitutional search and seizure and cite a strikingly similar law in Michigan that was declared uncon-stitutional by the state’s Supreme Court in 2003.

Noting that collecting urine samples was considered a search, the Court found the state’s purpose for enacting the law — to move more families from welfare to work — was insufficient to over-ride Fourth Amendment protec-tions against unreasonable search and seizure.

In addition, the Court deemed the state’s argument that the law helped prevent child abuse and neglect among drug abusers as “misplaced” because the specific welfare program to which the law applied was not aimed at prevent-ing child abuse or neglect.

One of the most crucial dis-tinctions about both the Louisiana and Michigan laws is that drug testing is not mandated for the gen-eral population; it is mandated for adults who voluntarily apply for a specific program. The Michi-gan Supreme Court rejected this distinction, citing a U.S. Supreme Court case, Chandler v. Miller, in which drug testing of elected of-ficials in Georgia for a more vol-untary activity — holding public office — was declared unconstitu-tional.

The bottom line is that a state must have “a special need ground-ed in public safety” in order to override Fourth Amendment pro-tections.

If Louisiana lawmakers intend on enacting this law and keeping it, they must thoroughly address each of these issues.

First, the Michigan Court’s reference to Chandler v. Miller did not take into account that Georgia

had no evidence of drug abuse among elected officials. Thus, Georgia had no special need in drug testing its elected offi-cials.

Louisiana certainly has a

well-grounded, legitimate inter-est in combating child abuse and

neglect among drug abusers. As the state of Michigan argued, “sub-stance abuse and child neglect are highly correlated.” Such an interest easily qualifies as a special need.

In addition, while FITAP’s primary goal is to move families from welfare to work, the program also clearly expresses an interest on its website in preventing child neglect and abuse.

Whereas Michigan’s purpose in enacting its law was to move more families from welfare to work, Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Me-tairie, author of Louisiana’s bill, said Louisiana’s version would also help families with substance abuse problems get treatment. In-deed, the bill states that those who

fail drug testing must go to rehab. After addressing the weak

points of the failed Michigan law, the question ultimately boils down to whether drug testing FITAP par-ticipants constitutes a special need — grounded in public safety — that warrants overriding the Fourth Amendment.

It would be difficult to argue child abuse and neglect are not a safety issue. Moreover, insomuch as welfare recipients voluntarily apply for assistance, they cannot expect to have full privacy rights, and it is reasonable to say that HB 7 counts as an exception to the Fourth Amendment.

Despite the ACLU’s objec-tions that drug testing welfare

recipients is unconstitutional, HB 7 differs from Michigan’s law in the right areas and has a much bet-ter chance of maintaining constitu-tionality.

“Raymond, you are going to die.”

Don’t worry though, Raymond isn’t real. Raymond K. Hessel is a character from the movie “Fight Club,” starring Brad Pitt and Ed-ward Norton. For those of you who aren’t familiar with “Fight Club,” I’ll go ahead and break it down for you.

Basically, the Narrator (Ed-ward Norton) is a boring guy with a boring job and a boring life. He meets a stranger on a plane named Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt. Tyler is everything Edward Norton is not. Tyler lives in a run down, abandoned house — laws and so-cial norms do not apply to him.

The Narrator and Tyler decide to start an underground fight club where guys can blow off steam. This fight club grows exponen-tially and becomes a terrorist orga-nization headed by the two, which

vandalizes various things around town.

One evening, Tyler pulls a handgun from Norton’s backpack and walks into a convenience store. He drags the clerk be-hind the store, shoves him on his knees and takes his wallet, all while point-ing the gun at the back of his head.

Tyler dis-covers the clerk’s name is Ray-mond K. Hessel and utters the phrase “Raymond, you are going to die.”

Raymond has naturally soiled his pants at this point. Tyler begins to ask Raymond about his life, his small, crappy apartment and his community college ID card.

He asks Raymond what he wanted to be. With a gun pointed to his head, Raymond answers with “a veterinarian.”

Tyler yells “Animals! That means you’ll have to get more school.” Raymond disagrees, say-ing it was too much school. Tyler responds with “Would you rather be dead?”

Tyler puts down the gun, takes Raymond’s driver’s license and tells him if he’s not back in school and on his way to becoming a vet-erinarian in 6 weeks, he will be dead. The audience then sees the handgun was in fact never loaded.

Tyler says, “Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel’s life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.” Tyler scared Raymond into becoming what he always wanted to be. By making him think he wasn’t going to see

tomorrow, he made his tomorrows mean more than they ever would have standing behind the counter at a convenience store.

All too often we have the de-sire to do something big, whether that be graduating college, travel-ing to Europe or becoming a vet-erinarian like Raymond. However, the majority of the time those dreams fail to materialize due to finances, relationships or a simple lack of motivation.

Spoiler alert: At the end of the film we find out Tyler is not real, but an alternate personality of the Narrator. Small, meek and unmoti-vated Edward Norton was the one holding the gun to Raymond K. Hessel’s head, not Tyler. Tyler was everything the Narrator wanted to be but was afraid to become. Tyler was the motivation inside the Nar-rator.

I’m not advocating anyone

hold up a convenience store with an empty gun in order to motivate the clerk. That will get you shot — don’t forget this is the South. What I am advocating is not sitting around having dreams and lacking the motivation to make them a real-ity. Just do something, anything, it doesn’t matter what. That’s a per-sonal decision.

It’s up to you to make yourself happy. We all have a Tyler Durden inside of us, it may be a good idea to let him out every once in a while.
