Nevada: $400,000 Payment Approved in Case of Patients Sent Away

San Francisco sued Nevada in 2013 amid reports that patients discharged from Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital in Las Vegas were bused to California and directed to seek services there.

The history of the Japanese housing market has been a volatile one, though right now certain parts of the country’s housing market are seller’s markets, especially Tokyo.

In California, Electric Cars Outpace Plugs, and Sparks Fly

California, where half of the country’s electric cars are registered, is pushing for more, but as it is, too-few charging stations lead to fierce competition for available spots.

A.C.L.U. Says Complaints Show Border Patrol ‘Impunity’

Drivers accused checkpoint agents of improper gunplay, racial profiling and excessive roughness, according to records released to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Bring Back House Calls

If doctors visited patients at home, the benefit to the health care system would be enormous.

A rational reimbursement rate for physicians would help enormously.
More doctors would practice.  More time could be spent on each patient.

For Teenagers, Sexual Consent Classes Add Layer of Complexity to Difficult Subject

California requires high schools to teach affirmative consent, defining when and how people agree to have sex, but critics say the lessons sow confusion.

The instruction can do no more than start the thought process.
Chemistry takes care of the rest.
It is better to be confused and knowledgeable than certain and ignorant.

The Supreme Court heard cases about the limits of the federal government’s ability to regulate power prices and whether an unsolicited deal can halt a class action.

The state regulators guarantee the utilities a small profit.
They arrange the rate structure.
Electricity markets are not free.
Class-actions win.  The corporation directors don't like it.
