    Extractions: Solutions for Georgia's 1.7 Million Uninsured An unprecedented collaboration of associations representing hospitals, physicians, insurers and sales agents, convened in late 2007 with a goal of developing solutions for the estimated 1.7 million uninsured residents of Georgia. The recommendations of this Georgia Uninsured Work Group, which was facilitated by the Center for Health Care Transformation, combine solutions for the uninsured with the recognition that solving the uninsured problem in Georgia is also an economic development opportunity. Transportation: 'Think like the People Coming up Behind Us Might' I know we’ve talked to a lot of you here this past summer when we had the transportation funding study committee. I appreciate you speaking up, letting us know how you feel, because that’s the only way we’re going to arrive at a solution to transportation. Rail's No Way In or To San Jose For those who love to watch the passing parade – and have the time and inclination – few places are better than the sardine can that is a train. That’s why, once one neglects to make a timely reservation on any of the popular 30-minute, $40 road shuttle services between San Francisco and San Jose, the $7.50 Caltrain ticket becomes an enticing option. Once. Clarence Thomas: ‘I Never Set Out to Be Unpopular … ‘I Set Out to Do My Best to Be Right’ I’ve met with young people from all over the country, from different backgrounds – some with privileged backgrounds and some with less privileged backgrounds – and they all have tough problems, challenges and uncertainties in their lives. And often they think that I grew up wise and had a plan in life to get where I have gotten – that I had no doubts and uncertainties myself. Well, the truth is that I had plenty of uncertainties and doubts, and this book is my story.

45. Public Policy Forum
    A nonpartisan public policy research organization and good government watchdog.  
    http://www.publicpolicyforum.org/
    
    Extractions: On April Fools' Day 2008, Milwaukee citizens will elect people to four-year terms in city and county public offices. Candidates for those offices have an obligation not to fool voters with shallow promises but rather to provide answers to critical questions facing local government. Among those questions, none is more important - and more rarely addressed than this one: How do you plan to ensure the long-term financial stability of the government with which you will be entrusted? The Public Policy Forum has produced a map of existing research on early childhood education. The information is presented in matrix format so that outcomes can be easily compared across studies. Overall, we find that existing research largely supports the connection between higher quality early childhood programs and long-term benefits including improved school-readiness, improved social skills, higher IQ scores, higher standardized test scores, decreased crime and delinquency, and greater earning capacity. Parents of children in high quality child care also benefit as they are better able to find and keep work. Societal benefits from higher quality child care include reduced crime costs and reduced welfare use. Further, increased earnings by early childhood program participants once they reach adulthood will result in increased income tax revenue.

    Extractions: As President Bush prepares to deliver his final State of the Union address on January 28, the debate over his legacy has already begun. The address provides an opportunity for the president to reflect on his years of leading the nation and to look ahead. On the domestic front, concerns are deepening about the nation's economy, instability in the housing market, and rising food and oil prices. On foreign policy, the president can highlight the good news in Iraq that has resulted from the surge, but other serious foreign policy challenges remain. Afghanistan looks to be in serious trouble. Tensions are high regarding sanctions against Iran, and many are concerned about the future of Pakistan. Democracy is in retreat in Russia and not on the horizon for China. AEI scholars will address these topics and the outlook for action in a panel discussion on Monday morning.

    Extractions: Home Contact What's New in Science and Public Policy Over the past three decades, the field of evidence-based medicine emerged as an approach to assess the effectiveness of clinical interventions that can inform socio-medical practice, including HIV prevention. However, disagreement remains within the HIV prevention science community about the applicability of this paradigm, particularly because of the narrow way by which evidence has become defined as a product, chiefly, of randomized controlled trials (RCT). Social and policy interventions challenge the notion that RCTs should be the primary modality by which HIV prevention-oriented community-based organizations (CBOs) and AIDS service organizations (ASOs) conduct business. The San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF) believes that public health research, practice, and policy intersect best where diverse methodologies and outcome data are utilized to establish efficacy. Over the next year, SFAF, in partnership with the Caucus for Evidenced-Based Prevention , is spearheading a series of focused discussions with all stakeholders. Goals of these discussions include defining and advancing a more productive way forward for evidence-based HIV prevention; reaching a consensus on an inclusive, yet still rigorous, notion of evidence, encompassing biological, behavioral, and social sciences; and including the lived experiences of individuals and communities affected by HIV/AIDS. We initiated these discussions with special panel sessions held during the
