The first took place in Oklahoma, his father, which makes the place, a classmate’s murder.

It continues in Kansas, zusammenraffend the lives of relatives and friends - his grandmother beloved of them - and the mutilation of his mother.

Tragedy of persecution has been inexorable, soils Jackson at almost every street corner, timbales a lifetime of pain in the hearts of 22 years. But each time, until Jackson withdrew - sometimes reluctantly - defeated pounding in his chest.

“Always stand up,” he said. “It’s the only way you dranbleiben.

Jackson was in the eighth grade, when his father was killed by the absence rate Oklahoma City police, after jogging. During his years in Senior High School, Jackson has stumbled on the corpse, a classmate.

He did not better, when he arrived in Lawrence. His friend was killed by gang members, his paternal grandfather died and one of his uncles, was beaten to death with a hammer.

Then, there was the incident.

It was the 29th May 2005, and Jackson’s mother and grandmother was taken after the return of younger brother Evan heading to see his father in Las Vegas. 18 years, a drunken driver important in the pavement, resulting in a collision on the head.

Jackson’s mother, Shawn Jackson, stayed with a mangle right arm and right ankle crushed. Evon Jackson, the grandmother, calm concern, or sad Darnell of peace his head on her stomach, died a week later of their injuries.

The honour lost, Jackson tries to defend the harshest and most recent news beat his chest with a fist check availability throws. Up to half of her junior years, which had become too much.

With his mother, is still fighting humpelte and to support her two youngest children, because the insurance issues, a desperate Jackson packed her things and left Lawrence.

Kansas Coach Bill Self and head of basketball operations Ronnie Chalmers immediately flown to Oklahoma. With the help of her mother, she has convinced Jackson to return.

There have been tough times since - he called midterm against Boston College, Jan. 5, because his grandmother was not there - but especially the court basketball has become a sanctuary .

“Only with my teammates and family and friends help means a lot to me,” said Jackson. “When I speak of the court, as it is a completely different world, if I can not fear anything. ”

And when he speaks of the court hearing, Kansas is a better team. The 6-foot-8 forward has always had a penchant for rebounding, an average of 4.9 to play in limited time, as students in 2005-06 and 5.1 during the past year. It performs the Jayhawks to 6.7 per game this year.

Now, Jackson has also certain offences. Once a late Jackson has a spark, a spring-ball at the legs of energy, pays a teammate with enthusiasm.

Always spectacular dunker on an avenue and putbacks oops, he refined his letter game - thanks in large part to an assistant coach Danny Manning - and expanding its range of products to be in the vicinity of Point 3 from the line.

Saturday name in the Final Four game against North Carolina, Jackson was Kansas’ fourth leading scorer at 11.2 points - almost double his previous best - a film crew of more than 62 percent of the area.

“He plays very good basketball and served as a major distraction from all things negative,” said teammate Russell Robinson. “It is able to meet these new and positive in what is in the translation his game. ”

But the tragedy is never far away.

In February, during some of his best game of basketball, Jackson learned his cousin 19 years, Kascey Corie McClellan, was shot dead after a week earlier in a nightclub Oklahoma City.

The message arrived the same day, Senior Fellow discovered Rodrick Stewart, and his cousin was adopted brother shot while waiting at a traffic light in Seattle.

This time, Jackson took the lead in the tragedy, whether for a closer relationship with his teammates, who are even closer to his family.

His solution was obvious, while the Senior Night on March 3. He thanked the fans, coaches and his players. Then, he asked his mother to keep, and there are more than 16000 spectators shout in every House.

“This evil so bad, because I wanted, I could just close your pain and place it in me.” I love you, “he said, clearing a standing ovation.

Now, two victories from Jackson is a national championship. It is on the pace of this semester abroad with a degree in African-American Studies. Projected as a second round of the NBA design make, he figures to play basketball somewhere, at least for the next few years.

But it is very whether the tragedy to find Jackson. One seems certain, though. It is ready.

“I find it remarkable with what is already, at that time,” said Self. “For everything that is thrown at him, it is always the center of gravity and discipline, to go further and see it.”

At Topeka, the House of Representatives and Senate negotiators are still Gerangel Kansas, the majority of children who deserve to state aid on compulsory health insurance. Regardless of the outcome of negotiations, Kansas some children, to health insurance will not be received.

The argument is not health care, but also for money. How much the state can make to spend for their children healthy? Like many, it is ready to go?

These are the kinds of questions - if allowed, the main - can do on behalf of the examination of a session at the.

In the meantime, children must wait.

We should not wait, distributors are gun of Kansas. Last week, Parliament adopted a law that private ownership of machine guns and other weapons, silencers and shotguns sawn-off.

The bill is in the correction of a state law, according to Kansas, the Attorney General, Kansas for the arms merchants, trafficking of these elements of the reserve from the sale of services repressive. Somewhere along the line, that the legislature has decided that the executioner, let us, for everyone in the fun.

It has proved very popular bill, passing by the house 105-18. And yes, both Emporia delegates voted for the bill.

If the Senate approves, and the governor, which allows all Kansans associations Basically, the checks and costs for weapons and the federal registration $ 200 for each weapon, to the extent of itself as the arm Rambo.

Proponents of the law argue that the rich gun collectors were the only people, the benefits of the change in the law. Some guns, said, the proponents of the sale of a maximum of $ 20000 to $ 80000 Such a rate would certainly limit the sales of machine guns. The only people with this type of fund are rich collectors (and perhaps successful drug traffickers, who have managed to avoid criminal record).

But other automatic weapons, shotguns sawn-off and silent in the bill, the House legislation prevents the designation of the wealthy Gun Nut Protection Act of 2008. The participation of less than right that firearms verdeckbar force automatic shotguns and weapons to silence within the reach of most Kansans.

Again, this Kansans whose children are not health insurance.

 Federal Insurance Office has proved to be a controversial element of the Treasury Department’s proposal package for regulatory reform in the United States of the vast financial industry.

The model, announced Monday by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, it would be the creation of a single office of the National Insurance Scheme would be replaced as the 55 countries of federal system, one in each of 50 states and five territories.

According to the reform plan, one office for the elimination of concern about the differences between the state-to-state policy that the federal government authority over insurance.

National Association of Insurance Commissioners president Sandy Praeger, said the call for regulation is invalid.

“Insurance is a product sold, Main Street, and it therefore needs protection at the local level - of nature, that the governments of the country. Instaure confidence in the products and consumers are better trained,” says Praeger , is also an assurance of Kansas Commissioner.

“I would like to say that we Paulson a report based on the system works. It is the Confederation regulatory system that has not yet worked. We despite the hurricanes and tornadoes and fires, including in times of disaster, which [insurance] companies have, “said Praeger. She added that she does not want the government to the country” Schrubber buckets and regulators, who do not possess the necessary capacities to the laws, but they have a responsibility in the next after the fact, to clean. ”

Given that the state insurance supervisory departments have 13000 employees, Praeger said that it would be impossible for such a new system at the federal level. “This means that people with real problems and concerns are being replaced by the slots of the net during their time of distress,” she said.

On the other side of the problem, the former Montana governor Marc Racicot, chairman of the American Insurance Association, said he is “very excited” to the possibility of a federal charter for insurers. He said that the biggest obstacle in the current regulatory system is the licensing procedure for new products.

“Businesses can not only offer a product, but by all 50 states and regions 5. This hampers new products by routing through a costly system of authorisation, “said Racicot. “If we start talking, that the expansion of our trading opportunities, we must be able, on an equal footing with other countries and in other countries, does not exceed 55 different supervisors, who almost immediately to meet these challenges, we are behind the rest of the competition on the world market. ”

Praeger counter-question: “We have seen abuses of large corporations, insurance companies argue that their relationships with 55 different countries make it difficult for them to new products on the market, and [the public] sure Is that consumers not an advantage. ”

Racicot Preager contested as an argument. “Anything we can do for the products of more and more consumers in this country is responsible for the good,” he said. “Consumers want more choice more quickly, at lower prices because there will be more competition in the sector.” He said he believes that the issue is resolved in favor of a national charter on the basis of the whole United States better compete globally.

But some small insurance who are not interested in competition in the world, and the federal rules could hurt Eric Fitz Water, a senior analyst at SNL Financial, a financial information retrieval.

“The general consensus is that [federal requirements] would be a good thing for major developers to help them remain profitable, but I do not know, even if one can say for a large number of small operators,” said Fitzgerald Water. “Of course, there are some inefficiencies in the system of the state, so it is difficult, in global competition with companies that do not follow the same restrictions.”

The question of whether an amendment to the regulation would be a good thing for consumers, Fitz Water replied: “Probably not. If you have things to a level of isolation, as we have now, with the system of the State , the people, the different shades of these two locations. understand better than anyone at the federal level, and you lose a lot of that [whether any changes to the rules], and the person who suffers, in general, consumption, “he said.

Water Fitz said he doubted that any changes would be made shortly, it would not be because the states without a fight. He added that although the federal government had done with the banking system, could he not in the same way, with insurance.

“If you relations with the banks, relations with the risks. However, with the assurance that the risks to be avoided, and this is the reason to keep it on the state level,” he said, and notes that governments tend to be more consumer protection. “With banks, securities and buying responsibility. But with the insurance, regulatory bodies, most of you which is one of most of you. “

 The revision of financial regulations, that the United States Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson unveiled Monday is woefully inadequate and little promotion of stability of the financial centre, said one of the most vocal critics of RTTNews.

Barbara Roper, director of investor protection on the Consumer Federation of America, said that the Bush administration has little plan to help, whether by millions of Americans, including the exclusion or help investors The financial turmoil eat into their retirement accounts.

“Rolling this plan in the midst of a financial crisis is to say that (Hurricane), the victims of Katrina beaches on rooftops in New Orleans, ‘Do not worry, we have a plan, if you have a few years of a - Do we have a plan for our major Federal Emergency. ”

The nation’s current financial penalty, she said, is the product of a failure of regulatory standards.

“We have no wind in this chaos, because gaps in the legal structure,” she said. “That is the regulatory authorities, to the extent that such blind belief that the market is always right and they are deaf to warnings about the dangers of Subprime mortgage market, it has been blind to the fact that securitisation is not so much to reduce the risk, how it works for him in every corner of the market, and it is not ready the use of the authority available to Internet users. ”

The ordinance revision, called Blueprint for a modernized Financial Regulatory Structure, has been on the table to develop month, and many of its provisions must Congressional implement the agreement.

“This will not be easy, or a little effort,” said Paulson in the department of the treasury Monday. “With few exceptions, the recommendations of the Blue Print should not and shall not be implemented until the current market situation, the difficulties are past.

It is planned, aimed at reducing the financial rules more effective. This is not about the current slowdown in housing or credit Crunch, but it is designed for similar economic suffering in the future.

“A strong financial system is essential - not Wall Street, not for the banks but also for the Americans,” said Paulson during the revelation of the plan Monday.

A central provision, insurance can pay by the federal government rather than individual states. Paulson said it was a greater flexibility of the insurer for prices and the end of their current practice, negotiations with different countries so that the quota increases.

“Our strong legal structure hampers our competitiveness,” said Paulson. “A state regulation based on the system is cumbersome. It allows price controls, market distortions.”

National Association of Insurance Commissioners President Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger and, said in a statement that states Stripage their regulatory powers regarding the insurance industry is a bad idea.

“Of course, the current climate of reduced regulation and less control has meant that the riots, the large sector of the economy of our nation,” she said. “We agree that the measures taken by the federal government, the risks to the system for a long time. We agree that the federal government needs to strengthen its financial rules to transform the house, but they need for insurance ‘House’ alone. ”

The plan should also establish an agency in the conduct and Consumer Protection, which has more functions now the responsibility of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

“The creation of a new agency flow-chart is not to do,” said Roper of the Consumer Federation.

Among other things, the 218-page plan Congress calls for the creation of a federal commission on the Mortgage Origination recommended minimum standards for granting a licence in mortgages.

Another part of this plan is to merge the functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in other agencies. The Bush administration would also be of the Federal Reserve, more power to protect the stability of the American financial system.

Pending House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank is preparing its own review of the regulations. The Massachusetts Democrat Paulson called the proposal a “positive step forward, but the plan is not to give the Federal Reserve, the authority he needs to markets in the United States in check.

His proposal aimed at stabilizing FHA Housing & Home Ownership retention law that would allow the Federal Housing Administration to insure and ensure that the mortgages were refinanced by the lender.

For his part, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., Paulson What is called the plan a “Wild Pitch - it’s not even in the vicinity of the area of the strike”, which is necessary to correct the current crisis mortgage every corner of the nation.

“The failure of the administration to use the tools they have to give over the years, with very practical in the sense that, that this problem,” he told reporters.

Paulson, the former boss of Goldman Sachs, said he refused to some Democrats’ criticism that the current unrest is the proceeds babes government market surveillance.

“I do not think it is fair or correctness of our legal structure responsible for the revolt current market,” he said. “I am not sure that more regulation is the answer, or even more effective than regulation can prevent that periods of financial market stress that, obviously, occur every five to 10 years.”

 More people spend more for the good quality of work and good money to do more unjust and zerfetzte our health care system sustainable, measure or imagine. And the “system”, by its nature, is becoming deeper and deeper into difficulties, because the Americans refuse to see the elephant in the room - the health insurance companies.

No country can provide timely health care system by private health insurance. They take 15 to 30 percent for rates (and add 15 percent administrative costs for doctors and hospitals), refuse to ensure the sick, the disabled, the chronically ill and the elderly, and more generally, the distortions of health care for their own benefit.

Ironically, few health insurance funds are really bad boys. However, they also conduct, a behavior, such as insurance, as those mentioned above includes elephants behave like elephants.

More money for the youngest, healthiest of the registration of candidates they receive. And they provide, not just someone. And if they are wrong, they increase premiums in the coming year, for example, for 15-man group of workers has created a new diabetic or too many babies.

You sign, the epitome of the art of risk assessment. They refuse to accept the “bad risk”, or increase premiums to protect risk slightly higher.

Insurance coverage is necessary for the proper functioning of the capitalist economy. They work very expensive, often losses which, for centuries, they did. But it is not for the payment of such pills billion treatments and health care - which they have been designated to be inadvertent, for a few decades.

Our country, God bless, they are trying to reform health care in their countries. But as a general rule, until the end of tax dollars to pay for insurance “administration”: medical care services for indigent persons.

They also try to force or an improvement in their health habits of citizens. However, these efforts of public health, are modest and difficult, as the Kansas legislature in the struggle for an audience of the smoking ban. At best, they are postponing expensive medical care in the context of the end of life.

And United are lined in almost all other countries want costs money, taxes are increased. And each of the major differences in taxation between states of the economy and industry, heads of state and the national border.

Thus, we can simply believes that the American people are deaf, blind and deaf-mute - fatalistic or - if they are not to respond constructively, as one of the reports, which last month by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The project centers of our nation is already inflated health spending is almost double 2017 to reach 4.3 trillion dollars, or nearly 20 percent of the total annual value of all goods and services. Without substantial changes, about half would have to pay, Medicare and Medicaid, the rest falls more directly on the private sector.

If elected president, John McCain, basically has not changed, only the former GOP trick with the tax code. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton planning a public health nurse, as he falls in death, in addition to making available money wasted.

Neither intends to go to something like Medicare for All (unless Medicare Advantage), which would be for everyone, and costs as much as possible in the face of more efficient and cost of medical services.

In the meantime, we are going along the belly of expenditures of approximately 1 ½ times the amount increasingly United Nations has passed without medical care, and with a bit of the healthy population, which is not so much the lifetime, as residents of nations with the government manages (but in the rule that there are private) universal care.

The legislature is required to modest improvements in health care, but in the House of Representatives and the Senate had no insurance on Kansans should get help from the state.

Parliament approved a bill 103-20 Tuesday over a year a vote on the value of state aid in support of poor parents, to buy private insurance. Supporters believe, more than 8500 people who have no coverage could get it.

Senators approved the accounts of last week. Instead of subsidies, insurance, there would be a program of the state, which depends on the Confederation intended to cover the costs of medical care for children. About 5500 other children in middle-class families would be eligible.

Another proposal is that the increase in the Senate on 33 “Auffangnetz”Kliniken of $ 1.5 million, so that 5200 an additional service to people as little or no cost.

The Senate has refused to grant the insurance in their bill. Rejection of the Assembly members of the Senate’s proposal on the expansion of the state for medical care of children.

“It is on the table in the house with all the moving parts, if we sit down to negotiate,’’said Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt, a Republican independence.

Three senators and three members of the house will draft the final version of legislation on health. Neither the House recognizes the need for a exciting experience, 21 points, the plan proposed by the Kansas Health Authority and the policy of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

The legislature wanted the Authority during the year 2005 to discuss health care and social services and to manage a number of programs. His plan, in a phase of $ 330 million, expenditures for health programs over five years.

The plan, based on the higher taxes on tobacco part of its case, the cause of the increase in a tax on a packet of cigarettes by 50 cents to $ 1.29. But the legislature has never seriously considered the idea.

This forces them to consider other less costly options. The House bill also contains provisions designed to make insurance cheaper for the workers, who have already said they Kansans and their divisions over existing coverage or lose, if they change jobs.

“This is a good step forward,’’said House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney, a Greensburg Democrat.

The legislature has decided, in the past year for state aid to support the insurance of poor families, but said during the past year, the aid would not begin before 2009. The parents first, then eligible if their income, half or less of the federal poverty line, $ 8800 for a single mother with two children.

But during the past year, under the law, finally, the man would no longer be entitled to the aid, and many Republicans nervous was awarded this year about the cost of the procedure. GOP lawmakers, who liked the idea, families money to buy private insurance began later to see the aid in another form of social assistance.

“What we are really doing is creating a bigger government, Rep,’’said Jim Morrison, Colby Republicans,” said no”Abstimmung on the bill.

The House bill guarantees that the early years, the value of aid. McKinney said that the state gives us a chance to see if the program works.

But Schmidt, and other Republicans believe the extension of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program is a better alternative.

SCHIP now covers medical expenses of children living in households with incomes up to twice the federal level of poverty or $ 35200 for one to three members of the family. The Senate bill, the threshold to 2.5 times the poverty line of two years, and $ 44000 for a family of three.

But the McKinney Act and other donors, as President Bush has twice vetoed in federal funds to finance additional SCHIP, on the one hand, such an expansion.
