Appeals Court: Obamacare Mandate Is Unconstitutional
Philip Klein reports: A federal appeals court has ruled that the national health care law's individual mandate is unconstitutional, calling it "an unprecedented exercise of congressional power." Klein notes that "The three-judge panel that made the ruling was comprised of two Democrats, so this will be hard for the Obama administration to dismiss as the work of a lone activist conservative judge. And this virtually gaurantees that the Supreme Court will take up the case." Reuters reports: The Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, found that Congress exceeded its authority by requiring Americans to buy coverage, but also ruled that the rest of the wide-ranging law could remain in effect.The legality of the so-called individual mandate, a cornerstone of the 2010 healthcare law, is widely expected to be decided by the Supreme Court. And, via Klein, here's the court's conclusion: that the individual mandate contained in the Act exceeds Congress’s enumerated commerce power.
MLB exemptions for stimulants gain attention - MLB
The patient needs a fix, so the routine is simple. Figure out the symptoms. Find a sympathetic doctor. Get a prescription. Enjoy. It's the tried-and-true formula for landing medical marijuana in California – and, as Major League Baseball has learned over the last three years, for enterprising players who want to skirt the league's drug program that bans stimulants and take them without penalty. No, not all of the 108 players this year granted baseball's version of a tokin' token – the therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) – are con artists who say they have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) so they can freely swallow Adderall, Ritalin and other such banned stimulants. "It looks fishy," Dr. Tuckman is the vice president for the Attention Deficit Disorder Association and an expert on adult ADHD. The revelation of TUEs is an offseason rite, one of the few gifts delivered by Congressional intervention into baseball's business. The issue, of course, is baseball's culture.
New study shows that knowing spoilers doesn't ruin a story
Here's the explanation for that study: I'll take my love for "Sucker-Punch" as an example. The first time I saw it, as with any first viewing, was filled with mystery (which I fucking love), not knowing exactly what I'm about to watch. It's a very symbolic movie and nearly impossible to "get" upon first viewing without knowing anything about it. Leaving the first viewing of that film, I liked the movie, not a lot, it was different from what I expected, but I also found it intriguing and my mind really dwelled on it for the next 24 hours. So in conclusion, I loved Sucker-Punch even more upon repeat viewings, but that's because I knew it and could fully realize what every scene meant, which could not be possible upon first viewing. It doesn't mean I need to be spoiled to enjoy it more. Movies are much like gifts/presents: The excitement of seeing that beautiful wrapping paper in its perfect packaged glory, not knowing what exactly is inside. The joy of the unwrapping.
Vladimir Putin's Greek urns claim earns ridicule | World news
Vladimir Putin carries his archaelogical trophies which - despite their cleanliness - were purported to have languished at the bottom of the Black Sea for centuries. Photograph: Alexei Druzhinin/AP When a scuba-diving Vladimir Putin found two ancient Greek urns on the floor of the Black Sea this week, it seemed a startling discovery. In his latest spurt of televised heroics, the Russian prime minister raised a triumphant thumb as he circled the pair of amphorae in shallow waters off the Taman peninsula near Ukraine. The find came to "everyone's utter surprise", claimed the slavishly devotional Russia Today and other state-controlled TV channels. But independent media and Russia's lively blogosphere are now ridiculing the incident, in a sign of increasing weariness of Putin's macho photo ops – such as bare-chested fishing, piloting a "water bomber" over forest fires and diving to the bottom of lake Baikal in a mini-submarine.

Steroids - Juiced Baseball Player - 46019
Citation: Jake. "Juiced Baseball Player: An Experience with Steroids (ID 46019)". Erowid.org. Feb 15, 2010. erowid.org/exp/46019 When I entered college, my main goals were to find a college that I could go to and play baseball at the same time. Anyways, three years later, I was at a 4 year university and I decided I wanted to try steroids to see what all the hype was about. A day after my first injection, I felt immediate results. My goal was not to gain weight because I was already a big guy at the time. Now the drawbacks. With my teammates, on the road it got ugly a couple of times. People talk about your nuts shrinking when you are on steroids. After I got off the juice, my nuts went back to normal in about a week. I do not see how anyone could take juice and not smoke pot. Steroids made me superhuman. I would never do steroids again. Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
