Medical Assistance, Minnesota’s Medicaid program, provides comprehensive health insurance to nearly 900,000 Minnesotans. Minnesotans like Jeff. Proponents of the law say work requirements will move people out of poverty into jobs and will rein in state spending on health care. The reality is that only 7 percent of indi...
This legislation isn’t just about individuals, however. Many physicians and family advocates worry it could have a negative impact on coverage for children and families. Forty-four organizations (including the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians and the National Alliance on Mental Illness) se...
Two examples from other states support these arguments. In 2003, Washington state increased the frequency that Medicaid recipients had to complete their enrollment paperwork from once every 12 months to every six months. 40,000 children lost their insurance within a year. In 2012, Maine limited its adult Medicaid cover...
Many of the patients and families I see in clinic are like Jeff. They are hardworking but still struggle to make ends meet and are one health emergency or unexpected expense away from disaster. They struggle with transportation, internet access, literacy and stable housing.
The proponents of this legislation will argue that Jeff and his family’s story won’t happen because he can just be declared temporarily disabled and get his waiver. The reality is that after dealing with the shock of a new, devastating diagnosis many won’t have it on the front of their minds to ask about the steps need...
As the Legislature looks for ways to address important health challenges in our state, like the opioid epidemic, widening racial disparities and access issues in rural counties, implementing policies that create additional barriers to health insurance are counterproductive. The Minnesota Legislature should instead look...

Social networking, and the broader concept of online privacy, have been under some rather intense scrutiny over the past couple of weeks. The issues at Google--voracious indexer of all things Internet, and Facebook--the largest social network and number one most visited site (according to Google) have made many users m...
Users don't necessarily need to be concerned, but should at least be aware of who they are connected with online, and what they say. No, Big Brother isn't watching, but potential employers and lenders are.
Increasingly, your online reputation is becoming a deciding factor in whether you get that job, or get approved for that car loan. Businesses have online footprints as well, and the online reputation of the business could impact partner or vendor agreements, or affect the creditworthiness of the business.
Companies and lenders are turning to services like those offered by Rapleaf, a San Francisco-based company focused on social media monitoring. Rapleaf scours the Web to compile your status updates, Twitter "tweets", the online organizations you join, the sites you link to, and the comments you post and convert it all i...
The social graph reveals behavior patterns related to what you like, what you don't like, what you want, what you don't want, etc.. Rapleaf presents the service as a marketing tool--enabling companies to target marketing efforts more intelligently, and with more precision than base demographics like age, gender, or loc...
At face value that seems like a reasonable use of your online footprint--at least to me. However, some employers or lenders are using information from services like Rapleaf for more invasive purposes. Using the Rapleaf social graph, or any other aggregate of an individual's online presence, companies can dive deeper in...
A bank considering you for a credit card can scan your social network and identify other users connected to you that are already customers of the bank. The bank can analyze the payment history and credit stability of those customers, and make assumptions about you based on them. The presumption is that birds of a feath...
Who you know online, and what you don't know about your online reputation may prevent you from getting a job or credit card. Even worse, sloppy online sleuthing or mistaken identity could lead to your rejection, and you may never even know why.
A friend--we'll call him Greg--was hired by a company and moved his family across the country to accept the job. The company had conducted a background check on Greg prior to hiring him, but subsequently launched a more exhaustive background check about a month after Greg had started working for them.
One day, Greg was called in to see his manager and was told that his services would no longer be needed. He was asked to clear his desk and escorted from the building with no further explanation. His family hadn't even finished unpacking from the cross-country move, and Greg was faced with the shock of unemployment.
Thankfully, after some pushing Greg was able to learn that the company had fired him because the subsequent background check had uncovered a criminal background and outstanding warrants the company was unaware of. Of course, Greg was also unaware of the criminal background and outstanding warrants because the company h...
The company put the burden of proof on Greg to produce evidence that it was the wrong Greg, which Greg did and eventually got his job back. Others might not be so lucky, though.
When you don't get the job, get turned down for a loan, or get rejected for a credit card, you may never really know if you were rebuffed on your own merits, or as a function of the crowd you choose to associate with online, or due to completely mistaken identity.
Rapleaf offers a service to discover your online footprint and get a view of what others might see on your social graph. Google offers a similar tool--the Google Privacy Dashboard--which presents an overview of the accounts and information you are connected with through Google.
Take advantage of tools like these to monitor your own online reputation and keep your online persona clean. What you don't know can hurt you.
NEW ALBANY, Ind. – Indiana State Police cancelled a Silver Alert Saturday for a teen from New Albany.
Police say the teen has been found and is safe at this time.
The Silver Alert was issued around 9 a.m. Friday, after the teen had not been seen since at 5 a.m that day. He was believed to be in extreme danger and thought to possibly require medical assistance.
Shafik Rehman, editor of the monthly Mouchake Dhil magazine, was arrested on 16 April suspected of being involved in a plot to assassinate Sajib Wazed Joy, the son of Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“The Bangladeshi authorities must end the prolonged solitary confinement of Shafik Rahman and ensure his well-being. It is absolutely shocking that an 82-year-old diabetic man with a history of heart problems is being denied the medical care he needs,” said Champa Patel, Director of Amnesty International’s South Asia R...
According to Shafik Rehman’s lawyer and family members, he has been kept in isolation since 27 April in Kashimpur Central Jail, a maximum security prison, where he is not allowed to interact with other prisoners. He has had minimal access to both his legal team and family members since he was first arrested.
Shafik Rehman suffers from several long-standing health issues, including diabetes and heart problems. Without medical care, his health is endangered. According to family members, his health has deteriorated sharply and he has visibly lost weight since being taken into solitary confinement. The family are seriously con...
On 19 May, Shafik Rehman was rushed to a hospital in Dhaka following a health scare related to his diabetes. After a first checkup he was sent back to Kashimpur, where he is currently being treated in the jail hospital.
Amnesty International also has very serious concerns about the impact of prolonged periods of solitary confinement on his mental health. The prison authorities have even denied Shafik Rehman’s request for a pen and paper, so that he would be able to write while in his cell.
Shafik Rehman is a known supporter of the Bangladesh National Party, the main opposition party, and has been targeted by authorities for his journalistic work several times in the past.
On 25 April, Mahmudur Rahman, another editor of the opposition-linked Amar Desh was arrested on charges of being involved in the plot to kill Sajib Wazed Joy. This comes after Rahman’s arrest in 2013 on charges of sedition and his subsequent unlawful detention for over two years.
In February this year, Mahfuz Ahnam, the editor of the Daily Star, was charged with a total of 83 cases under the Sedition Law and the Defamation Law. In, what is clearly an impossible situation, he was – in one instance - expected to appear in different courts across multiple districts all on the same day.
Credible media reports have since, however, raised serious questions about the Bangladeshi authorities’ claims that US court documents implicate Shafik Rehman in this plot.
After his arrest on 16 April, Shafik Rehman was initially remanded, but on 28 April was taken to Kashimpur High Security Jail awaiting trial, for which a date has not been set. Requests for him to be released on bail have been denied twice by separate courts in Dhaka without explanation, according to his legal team.
Irvin first called out Gregory during a meeting with NFL Legends during the NFL Draft, but he said it was about helping Gregory and others learn from his mistakes and being an example rather than standing in judgment.
Gregory certainly received Irvin’s call the right way, even thought it caught him off guard initially.
“It’s funny, because he kind of went on a rant in front of the players and NFL legends and he called me out in front of everybody,” Gregory recalled on draft day. “It was eye-opening, because I really didn’t expect that. After everything, we talked and exchanged numbers.
Irvin wants to be careful about the publicity he gets about this because his mission in helping Gregory and others is not about self praise and personal adulation.
“Guys seem more comfortable talking to a guy who had situations himself,” Irvin said. “There is no indictment from me. I had my problems. Randy knows I’m saying it from the right place. The kid has been sincere.
Irvin believes that Gregory should want some type of structure in place like Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant had the past few years with former adviser David Wells.
Irvin said it’s not just about keeping you out of trouble, but also about protecting you from trouble or perceived trouble.
He pointed out that Washington Wizards guard John Wall has a security detail with him wherever he goes for that exact reason.
And for that reason, Irvin said he is not a fan of Bryant forgoing the relationship he has had with Wells the past few years.
Irvin likes the accountability that the Cowboys put on Gregory by giving him the legacy jersey No. 94 that was worn previously by Hall of Famer Charles Haley and franchise sack leader DeMarcus Ware.
It’s similar to what they did with Bryant when they gave him No. 88, which was worn first by Drew Pearson and then by Irvin, who both finished their careers as the team’s all-time leading receiver.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Peyton Manning leads the Denver Broncos into the playoffs with another record, home-field advantage and some rest after doing all his work in one half against the reeling Oakland Raiders.
Manning needed just one half to add the yards record to the touchdown mark he set last week and assure that the Broncos (13-3) won't have to leave home again until the Super Bowl if they make it that far.
He threw touchdown passes to Eric Decker and Knowshon Moreno in the first quarter and added two to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter. He broke Drew Brees' record of 5,476 yards set in 2011 with a 5-yard pass to Thomas with 13 seconds left in the half to make it 31-0.
The Raiders (4-12) ended their 11th straight non-winning season with six straight losses and big questions about the future of second-year coach Dennis Allen. Oakland has won eight games in Allen's two seasons but after showing signs of progress early this season, regressed down the stretch to put his job in jeopardy.
Oakland held Manning to a field goal early in the second quarter before he beat them deep with a 63-yard pass to Thomas to make it 24-0 and then methodically led a late drive down field that was capped with the short throw to Thomas that broke Brees' record and earned Manning some rest in the second half.
Pryor completed 21 of 38 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns after the game was out of reach. Pryor also ran for 49 yards to give him 576 yards rushing for the season, breaking Rich Gannon's franchise mark of 529 for quarterbacks set in 2000.
The Raiders couldn't even capitalize on their one good chance as Sebastian Janikowski missed his ninth field goal of the season after blocked punt by Jamize Olawale gave Oakland the ball at the Denver 24.
Beyond having security software installed on your PC, the best way to keep malware off your computer is to maintain a fully patched Windows system. This includes patching desktop applications that may not come from Microsoft. Sometimes, however, default update settings can leave your PC hobbled by bad drivers, software...
Microsoft issues security updates for Windows, Office, and Internet Explorer every second Tuesday of each month, commonly known as Patch Tuesday. Occasionally, the company issues emergency out-of-cycle patches as well. The best way to receive these is to set your Windows system (XP, Vista, or 7) to download and install...
For most users, it's best to let Windows install updates automatically.
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Classic, click Automatic Updates or System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
In Category, click Performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
Microsoft advises you to permit Windows to automatically download and install recommended updates, but you do have other choices.
In some cases, you may not want a Windows Update to occur automatically. Occasionally, for example, changes to IE or TCP have broken third-party firewall connections to the Internet. If you prefer to wait a day or so to make sure that no such surprises lurk in the latest patch cycle, select the second Automatic Update ...
The updates will sit on your computer until you click the yellow shield icon or until the next time your reboot your computer. At that point you should see a dialog box that asks you to choose between an Express install and a Custom install. Express installs the updates exactly as Microsoft provides them. Custom enable...
If you'd rather not allow Microsoft to install updates without your permission, you can opt to have it provide only update notifications.
A third choice is to have Windows notify you whenever new patches are available, but not have the operating system download or install those updates. In this case, you'll see a listing for each available patch, togther with its title and its Knowledge Base article number (where you can find additional information). You...
The fourth option is simply to turn off Automatic Updates. Doing so puts the burden of obtaining crucial security updates entirely on the person running the computer; consequently, this option is suitable only for the most disciplined of PC users.
Microsoft maintains two different sites where you can find the latest patches. Windows Update provides the latest security updates for the Microsoft operating system as well as updates for additional Microsoft products such as Office and Internet Explorer. Windows Update actually resolves to update.microsoft.com. The u...
There are some caveats. If you use Firefox, the Microsoft update site won't work. Instead, you'll need to use a Mozilla add on that conveniently opens a session of Internet Explorer at the Windows Update page.
If you don't want to open IE, or if you use some other browser, go to the second site, Microsoft Download Center, click Download Category in the top toolbar, and select Windows Security and Updates from the pull-down menu. Here, you'll find many updates that are not specific to your machine--but if you know what you're...
If you learn that a new service pack is available for Vista, but you're worried that your current apps might not work with the service pack, you have some options. Start by changing the Windows Automatic Updates to specify downloading without installing, or to specify notifying without downloading or installing. When p...
If an update that you have installed proves to be the source of subsequent problems, you can take steps to reverse the damage. If you have Windows System Restore turned on (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools), you can return to a point before the patch was installed, when your system still worked perfectly ...
Sometimes patches can cause problems with apps and hardware on your system. You can roll them back in the Add or Remove Programs control panel.
Another, perhaps easier choice, is to uninstall the patch. Go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs. Check the box at the top, if it isn't already marked; the resulting list of installed apps will include Microsoft updates. As you scroll down the list, you'll see a large block of Windows Updates, identified by updat...
Even if you arrange to delay installing all patches, not every update will go swimmingly. For example, Service Pack 1 for .Net Framework 1.1 does not install correctly for some people no matter what steps they take to prepare the way for it. The resolution, according to Microsoft, is to remove a particular Registry key...
In other instances you may simply want a newer version of Internet Explorer. To get one, visit Microsoft Update, Windows Download Center, or Microsoft's Internet Explorer site.
Your operating system isn't the only software you need to keep patched. In the old days, users commonly had to find third-party security updates on their own. In more-recent years, however, as criminal hackers have begun targeting common desktop applications, vendors of multimedia apps in particular have gotten better ...
Firefox: Mozilla silently and automatically downloads its browser security updates in the background; Firefox then installs the update the next time you launch the browser. You can check for updates whenever you want by clicking Help, followed by Check for Updates. Full-version updates (say, an upgrade from Firefox 2 t...
Apple installs its own software update tool when you install iTunes or QuickTime on your Windows PC. Watch out for attempts by Apple to use this tool to automatically install unwanted apps.
iTunes and QuickTime: Whenever you launch an Apple application within Windows, Apple does a quick check and then notifies you of the latest release for iTunes or QuickTime (if you aren't already running it). You can also request a update by clicking Help, and then Check for Updates. Occasionally, Apple will push out a ...
Flash and Adobe Reader: Adobe, like Apple, pushes out security updates as they are completed and issued. Alternatively you can request a update check by clicking Help, and then Check for Updates. In general, you can expect legitimate requests from Adobe to install new updates to appear shortly after you boot into Windo...

General Hospital spoilers tease that there is some potentially big, juicy stuff on the way during the week of October 8. Reports have just emerged revealing that actress Chloe Lanier, who originated the role of Nelle, is apparently returning for a very brief arc. Given the baby switch drama involving Michael and Nelle’...
When Chloe Lanier left General Hospital last August, she had noted that she felt it was time to spread her wings and pursue other opportunities. However, as the Inquisitr previously detailed, she made it clear that she was always open for a brief return. In fact, Lanier said that she had no interest in joining any othe...
Rumors have swirled almost continually since Lanier’s departure that Chloe was headed back to General Hospital. The buzz on that front increased when Nelle recently sent a letter to Michael, but until now, nothing concrete seemed to pinpoint an actual return.
Now, according to She Knows Soaps, Chloe has stepped back into the world of General Hospital to once again portray Nelle. Lanier’s return is said to play out during the week of October 8, but little else is known so far. Some fans speculate that Brad may take “Wiley” to visit Nelle as she continues to sit behind bars, ...

As viewers recently watched, Nelle sent a letter to Michael that seemed to give some hints about their baby. She wrote about how she hoped that Michael would find peace in spending time with Brad and Lucas’ adopted son and while that didn’t set off any alarm bells for Michael at that moment, it may come back to be an i...
Soap Hub hints that Nelle may see her baby during this reappearance, but that she’ll be in an orange jumpsuit as she sees the baby. The most logical explanation for that scenario is for Brad to take the baby to see his biological mother, but it’s not known yet what the context surrounding that possible visit is.
