...noise they made was the sound of the Democratic Party fracturing: one third for Obama cheering, one third for Clinton booing and the rest, including the chagrined members of the panel, frantically hushing both sides as if to say, 'Don't go there, don't show the Republicans how dysfunctional we are.' It was also a cry of desperation, because the panel's ruling virtually ensured that the door was slamming on Clinton, who with three races to go now has little chance of overcoming Obama's lead. The meeting only went downhill from there, with committee co-chair Alexis...
...Instead, the panel's lunch turned into a three-hour closed-door session, during which the members finally agreed on a compromise - though it was basically the position taken by the Obama campaign, not to mention the one Republicans smartly came up with for their side long before the disputed primaries took place: seat both delegations but grant each only half a vote per delegate as a penalty. In what the Obama campaign called a "gift" to Clinton they agreed to seat Florida's delegates based on the results of that state's January 29th primary, yielding Clinton...
...remained standing. The government says that nearly 300 children were killed in the Juyuan Middle School alone, and the anger of the parents of the victims is not diminishing, even though this past week the government reiterated its promises to investigate what happened and to include parents on a panel that will oversee the inquiry.

As for Michigan, where neither Obama nor Edwards was on the ballot when Clinton won 55% of the vote, she would claim 73 of the state's delegates, with the rest of the delegation, reflecting the 40% that voted "uncommitted," free...
When you choose a health plan, you typically check the panel of doctors it pays for. Now you need to check which hospitals and diagnostic facilities it covers too. And keep in mind, the list can change at any time. The unfairness of this bait-and-switch game - to both patients and doctors - is pretty nasty. The hospitals and facilities you signed up for originally might suddenly be replaced by facilities that are - you guessed it - cheaper. While your premium (and the CEO's bonus) goes up, the dollar value of what you're getting - i.e., what the company will...
