    Generate An Impressive Online Marketing Strategy - Maynas Eric

    You can make a lot of money through Affiliate marketing if you know how to do it correctly. There are many ways to begin an online business, but keep in mind you will need to invest a great deal of time to make it work. Using your time wisely is crucial to your success, since time is a limited resource. Here are some suggestions on how you can use your time wisely.

    Internet marketing serves the ultimate purpose of problem recognition and solution. Your business will have a good foundation if you approach everyday with a clear understanding of how to answer the questions. If you are helping someone out with their issues they will buy a product and tell people about your business.

    Create an FAQ page to help out your Internet marketing endeavors. Ask and answer relevant questions, and incorporate your products into some of your answers. Phrase the questions so you have an opportunity to offer your products without it being too obvious.

    TIP! Internet marketing can be problematic, but you can fix it. Go to work everyday knowing what you will be doing.

    With any kind of marketing, you are going to run into setbacks. The best thing to do is deal with them and keep on going. You may be close to achieving a successful internet marketing campaign when you stop. Make sure you have everything ready to go when you are ready to get started in your venture. Endeavors such as this may take a great deal of effort. Keep your focus on your end result and realize that your hard work will pay off.

    Include something that is a niche or unique to your site. This can attract a lot of individuals to your site. By having one unique product, you will be able to offer many products in addition to your one unique product.

    TIP! A website?s tag is one of its most important features. It tells the world who you are.

    Design an all-inclusive website with an emphasis on fresh, relevant content. Educate your customers about your product and why it would be a benefit for them to purchase. Don?t pad or fluff; stick to stating the essential data that the customer needs to know.

    Instead of building a big, sloppy site, start small and focus on quality first. Search engines are built to pay more attention to sites that have 10,000-20,000 pages, rather than to sites that have a million or more pages.

    Internet Marketing should beget Affiliate Marketing. It sounds somewhat counter-intuitive, but the purpose of your strategy should be to start a cycle. You want an endless cycle of people using search engines, finding your website, and then purchasing your products.

    TIP! More subscribers means more profits. Try using a split test by sending one beta model to one group and another to a different group.

    Giving your customers the chance to receive an Ezine is one of the most effective marketing techniques you can employ. You can experiment with adding photographs of your staff, customers, or even family. You can also include information about your life or fun office anecdotes. Arouse their curiosity with an interesting subject line in the Ezine, such as the easiest or fastest way to achieve a specific goal.

    Avoid spamming whenever you can. Web crawlers, which quickly post hundreds or thousands of comments in a short amount of time, rarely produce the desired effect for your business. By not placing a personal touch in your advertising, it can turn people away.

    There are several distinct markets in Web marketing. Maybe search engines won?t focus as much on title tags in the future. If this happens, you may need to put more work into other venues, like viral video marketing.

    TIP! Create a FAQ page for your website. It will also please your potential customers because they will be able to locate answers to their concerns quickly and easily.

    Make sure that you are constantly informed with all different aspects available to you via the Internet. The Internet is continuously changing, and it is changing quickly, so keeping up with all of the new innovations and popular websites can really help you to know what would be the best way to get your product more available to the public.

    Post video advertisements to show customers how your product will improve their lives. This allows the customer to see you utilizing the product. Display the benefits of your product, as well as unadvertised features. After you make the video, post it to several sites including Youtube, blogs, and Facebook.

    Keep your advertising budget from growing out of control. Not all forms of marketing online require an investment. Consider spending money on banner and other forms of advertisement if you believe you will benefit from this investment.

    TIP! If you haven?t yet, you should think about developing a squeeze page in order to build up your contacts. Squeeze pages prompt visitors to provide their email.

    As shown, Website marketing should not overreach your available time. A great approach to budgeting your time can certainly contribute to your future success.

    Fish Oil Tied to Prostate Risk but Some Experts Are Skeptical

    Jul 10, 2013 4:39pm

    ABC News? Dr. Raheleh Sarbaziha reports:

    The fish oil supplements that millions of American men take each day to cut their risk of heart disease might have a dark side, at least according to a study released today that is sure to generate controversy.

    Can fish oil really prevent heart disease?

    The new study, published today in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, suggests that men who have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their system face a 43 percent increased risk of developing prostate cancer and a 71 percent increased risk of the high-grade form of the disease.

    To determine this, the researchers relied on data from a past study that examined the blood concentrations of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in 834 men with prostate cancer and 1,393 men without prostate cancer. When they did this, these researchers found an association between high omega-3 levels and the occurrence of prostate cancer.

    Read about the effects of fish oil on breast cancer risk.

    Whether the increased level of omega-3 in the men with prostate cancer was from supplements or from oily fish in their diet was unclear. But lead study author Dr. Theodore Brasky of Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center said that no matter the source, the findings suggest that men should be wary of getting too much of the nutrient.

    ?Men will probably want to talk to their doctors, especially those patients who have been recommended increased fish oil intake,? Brasky said. ?They should probably moderate their intake of fatty fish and they should avoid fish oil supplements at this time, especially considering that when men are taking fish oil supplementation they are taking [higher doses than they need].?

    But some experts say more evidence is needed before men make drastic changes. ABC News Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser said that the original study from which this data was drawn was not specifically designed to look at the exact relationship between omega-3 fatty acid intake and prostate cancer, so men should think twice before discontinuing them entirely.

    ?This is not proof that omega 3?s cause prostate cancer,? he said.

    If anything, Besser added, the finding should reinforce the notion that better dietary health does not necessarily come in a pill form.

    ?If you want omega 3?s, get them from food,? he said. ?The more we look at supplements, the more untoward consequences we find.?

    Read about the dangers of mixing supplements with medications.

    Doctor?s Take

    So where does this leave men who, based on this study, are worried that they will have to choose between a healthy heart and a healthy prostate?

    The first thing that these men should do is speak to their doctors prior to making any changes to their diets and discontinuing current supplementation. In particular, men with active heart conditions or elevated cholesterol levels should approach their cardiologists and discuss the risk versus the benefits of consuming fatty fish and fish oil supplementation.

    Candlestick Park to get demolished for Codos - Zillow Real Estate ...

    I too would suggest buying sooner than later, although finding anything to buy in the city right now will be the challenge. ?Inventory is so low that it is literally a bidding war on most properties that come available. ?I have a client that just listed there 900 square foot home in the avenues at 799k. ?there were 100 people that came through the first open house. ?The closest comp was at 700k and it went for 830k.?

    A transitional area my be the key, and getting involved now to see what is available and feasibility is a good idea ? Rates are going up and the home buying landscape is not going to change in the city.

    A good Realtor is one key right now. ?I have good resources, if you need them get in touch.

    A 30-pin dock connector version of the Kii, available in black only, is the cheaper of the two at just $20. But if you've got the latest generation iPhone or iPad, you'll need to cough up twice that amount?$40?for the black or white Lightning version.

    We're assuming you're helping to cover Apple licensing fees for the new connector, but even at $40 it's still worth every penny if it means you're not scrambling to borrow someone else's Lightning cable, or dimming your device's display to near unusable levels just to max out its dwindling battery. Besides, it's also just another way to confuse the heck out of any dumb robbers. [Bluelounge via iLounge]

    Deborah Nardone: Correct Your Course on Natural Gas, Mr. President

    Recently President Obama has taken several important steps down the trail towards addressing climate disruption. But when it comes to natural gas, the president is taking the wrong path.

    The president was exactly right when he said no single step can reverse the impacts of climate change. The scale of the challenge, and the duty to our children and grandchildren, will require multiple steps, all at the same time, to urgently address the problem.

    We must take these steps immediately, for our own health and for the sake of future generations. Coordinating our steps to reduce greenhouse gas pollution will require great political will and must include reductions in the use of all fossil fuels.

    The president's comments about the dirty Keystone XL pipeline show that he is serious about using climate impact as his yardstick for making high-profile energy decisions. We know that natural gas is a dirty, dangerous fuel that is bad for the climate. Every day the evidence of this becomes clearer. We look forward to a day when the administration sees fracked gas for what it is: a dirty, dangerous fossil fuel of the past and a threat to public health. The same yardstick for KXL must also be used with fracked gas.

    A Presidential Climate Action Plan that doubles down on clean energy cannot also continue our reliance on natural gas. Deepening investments in natural gas will hamper, not assist, transforming our energy system and tackling the daunting climate task ahead.

    Instead of looking below our feet for more oil, coal, and natural gas, it is time to set our sights above ground for wind, solar, and energy efficiency. This is the only way to keep climate-changing gases out of our atmosphere. Protecting our health and environment must be a higher priority than the profit-seeking interests of the natural gas industry.

    Obama's climate legacy is taking shape and is building momentum. Science and research clearly show that natural gas is a threat to our climate, our water and air, and our health. Yet the drilling boom has brought drilling and fracking into the backyards of too many communities that are not equipped to handle this dangerous industrial gas development and its consequences.

    We urge President Obama to rethink the role of natural gas. It's a fuel of the past, a threat to our communities and our health. It's clearly not a climate solution.

    Natural Gas Is Not a Climate Solution

    The president's plan to promote fuel-switching from coal to gas for electricity production is a no-win situation for our communities being fracked or for our climate. Greenhouse gas levels are at record highs. Merely slowing the rate at which we emit greenhouse gases will not meaningfully stabilize our climate.

    Best available science shows that even with complete control and capture of methane during production and transmission, continued reliance on natural gas puts us on a trajectory towards climate disaster. The IEA's "Golden Age" report shows that coal-to-gas switching through to 2035 puts us on an untenable climate path with a mean increase of 3.5 degree Celsius by 2060. It's clear that natural gas is not a climate solution; it is a trail that leads us on a path to climate destruction. It's not a transition fuel or a bridge -- it's a gangplank to a much warmer planet.

    Export Clean Energy Innovation, Not More Fossil Fuels

    The export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) would pose even greater risk to our climate. Even if just a few of the 24 proposed LNG export terminals were authorized, we would see a significant expansion of fracking, causing substantial increases in greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, the administration can still prevent this harm by rejecting those LNG export proposals. If it makes this decision using climate impact as a yardstick, that is exactly what it will do.

    Significant amounts of methane leak during production and transmission of natural gas. Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas -- 72 times more potent than CO2 over a 20-year period, significantly adding to our climate crisis. In addition, the massive amount of energy required to liquefy and transport natural gas makes LNG the most carbon-intensive form of natural gas on a life-cycle basis. LNG exports thus risk worsening climate change. For all these reasons, exporting even a fraction of the gas proposed for export could seriously harm American communities and the environment.

    Economically as well, exporting LNG comes with significant risks. Natural gas prices are expected to rise as demand increases, hitting record levels right as LNG export terminals come online, pushing the price up even further. Those price hikes harm tens of millions of Americans. We call on the Obama administration to thoroughly study the economic and environmental aspects of these exports.

    Developing a global market for U.S. gas is premature. We must have an open and informed national conversation to determine whether exports are truly in the public interest. We must fully understand the economic, environmental, and health impacts that increased fracking will have on our communities and our economy. Deciding whether and how to move forward with LNG exports is among the most pressing environmental and energy policy decisions facing the nation. Let's not do this blindly.

    Unfortunately, a set of free trade pacts the Obama administration is actively promoting -- the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement and the US-EU free trade pact -- could require the United States to automatically approve all exports of U.S. fracked gas to countries in the European Union and the Asia Pacific. It is critical that our trade policy support strong climate action -- not multinational corporations who want to ship natural gas overseas, threatening our climate in the process.

    * * * * *

    The President's commitment to tackling climate change is essential, yet there's so much more to do. We must join together and demand that the oil and gas industry be held accountable for their pollution. We must close the federal exemptions the industry enjoys. We must prevent the exporting of LNG, whose climate footprint will significantly add to climate disruption. We must not allow free trade agreements drive rampant gas production in communities already affected by water and air contamination.

    We must usher in truly clean, renewable energy. We must demand reduction of global consumptions of dirty dangerous fossil fuels including natural gas. Lace up your boots Mr. President, we must start now.

    Mexico's Televisa second quarter net profit rises 31 percent


    MEXICO CITY | Tue Jul 9, 2013 5:23am BST

    MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican media company Grupo Televisa, the world's biggest producer of Spanish-language content, said on Monday lower financing costs helped boost its second-quarter net profit nearly 31 percent from the same year-ago period.

    Televisa reported a net profit of 1.826 billion pesos (94.3 million pounds) compared to 1.396 billion pesos in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue rose 6.4 percent to nearly 18.1 billion pesos.

    Televisa's investment costs soared in the second-quarter of 2012 due to its acquisition of 50 percent of cellphone company Iusacell from Grupo Salinas, which controls Mexico's No. 2 broadcaster TV Azteca.

    Financing costs in the second quarter fell by 963 million pesos compared to the same period last year to under 1.2 billion pesos.

    Televisa shares are down nearly 9 percent so far this year after lawmakers passed a law that seeks to increase competition in the television market. Analysts warn the stock could face further pressure as a more powerful regulator comes into office.

    Female inmates in California pressured into sterilizations

    The California Department of Corrections has been coercing pregnant female inmates to undergo sterilization for more than a decade.

    Doctors under contract with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sterilized nearly 150 female inmates from 2006 to 2010 without required state approvals, the Center for Investigative Reporting has found.

    At least 148 women received tubal ligations in violation of prison rules during those five years ? and there are perhaps 100 more dating back to the late 1990s, according to state documents and interviews.

    ?

    One former Valley State inmate who gave birth to a son in October 2006 said the institution?s OB-GYN, Dr. James Heinrich, repeatedly pressured her to agree to a tubal ligation.

    ?As soon as he found out that I had five kids, he suggested that I look into getting it done. The closer I got to my due date, the more he talked about it,? said Christina Cordero, 34, who spent two years in prison for auto theft. ?He made me feel like a bad mother if I didn?t do it.?

    Cordero, released in 2008 and now living in Upland, agreed to the procedure. ?Today,? she said, ?I wish I would have never had it done.?

    Heinrich insists that he didn?t pressure any of the women and said that the $147,000 paid to local doctors for the procedure ?isn?t a huge amount of money compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children ? as they procreated more.?

    Since 1994, sterilizations using state funds have required approval on a case-by-case basis from medical officials in Sacramento ? but no such requests have come before the approval committee since the receiver began overseeing medical care in 2006. While Valley State medical manager Daun Martin denies approving the surgeries at her prison, contract records show that at least 60 tubal ligations were done there while she was in charge.

    Martin, they Valley State Prison medical manager, said she and her staff had discovered the procedure was restricted five years earlier. Someone had complained about the sterilization of an inmate, Martin recalled. That prompted Martin to research the prison?s medical rules.

    Martin told CIR that she and Heinrich began to look for ways around the restrictions. Both believed the rules were unfair to women, she said.

    ?I?m sure that on a couple of occasions, (Heinrich) brought an issue to me saying, ?Mary Smith is having a medical emergency? kind of thing, ?and we ought to have a tubal ligation. She?s got six kids. Can we do it??? Martin said. ?And I said, ?Well, if you document it as a medical emergency, perhaps.??

    Heinrich said he offered tubal ligations only to pregnant inmates with a history of at least three C-sections. Additional pregnancies would be dangerous for these women, Heinrich said, because scar tissue inside the uterus could tear.

    Former inmates tell a different story.

    Michelle Anderson, who gave birth in December 2006 while at Valley State, said she?d had one prior C-section. Anderson, 44, repeatedly was asked to agree to be sterilized, she said, and was not told what risk factors led to the requests. She refused.

    Nikki Montano also had had one C-section before she landed at Valley State in 2008, pregnant and battling drug addiction.

    Montano, 42, was serving time after pleading guilty to burglary, forgery and receiving stolen property. The mother of seven children, she said neither Heinrich nor the medical staff told her why she needed a tubal ligation.

    ?I figured that?s just what happens in prison ? that that?s the best kind of doctor you?re going to get,? Montano said. ?He never told me nothing about nothing.?

    U.S. first-quarter growth cut to 1.8 percent

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. economic growth was more tepid than previously estimated in the first quarter, held back by a moderate pace of consumer spending, weak business investment and declining exports.

    Gross domestic product expanded at a 1.8 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said in its final estimate on Wednesday. Output was previously reported to have risen at a 2.4 percent pace after a 0.4 percent stall speed in the fourth quarter.

    Economists polled by Reuters had expected first-quarter GDP growth would be left unrevised at 2.4 percent. When measured from the income side, the economy grew at a 2.5 percent rate, slower than the fourth-quarter's brisk 5.5 percent pace.

    Details of the report, which showed downward revisions to almost all growth categories, with the exception of home construction and government, could cast a shadow over the Federal Reserve's fairly upbeat assessment of the economy last week.

    Though the data is fairly backward looking, it comes as financial market conditions are tightening after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week the U.S. central bank would likely begin to slow the pace of its bond-buying stimulus later this year and stop the program in 2014.

    Economists fear that could undercut growth, which has recently shown signs of picking up.

    Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, increased at a 2.6 percent pace rather than 3.4 percent. The revision largely reflected weak outlays on health care services.

    Consumer spending grew at a 1.8 percent rate in the fourth quarter of last year.

    Exports, previously reported to have grown, actually contracted at a 1.1 percent pace in the first quarter, cutting 0.15 percentage point from GDP growth. That likely reflects a slowdown in the global economy.

    Business spending barely grew, with investment on nonresidential structures declining more sharply than previously reported. The drop in spending on nonresidential structures was the first in two years.

    The pace of inventory accumulation was revised marginally down, adding more than half a percentage point to GDP growth. Excluding inventories, GDP grew at a 1.2 percent rate, the slowest in two years.

    Merck & Co wins injunction against Indian firm over diabetes drugs

    MUMBAI (Reuters) - MSD, a unit of U.S. drugmaker Merck & Co, said it has won an injunction against India's Aprica Pharmaceuticals and a source said this will stop Aprica launching generic versions of two diabetes drugs in India.

    Global pharmaceutical firms have had a series of patent disputes with Indian makers of generic drugs and several recent Indian rulings have gone against the international giants.

    MSD holds an Indian patent on sitagliptin, a chemical compound sold under the Januvia and Janumet brands used to treat type-2 diabetes.

    "MSD confirms that we have received an ex-parte injunction against Aprica Pharmaceuticals," an MSD spokesperson said in an emailed statement on Tuesday, declining to identify the drugs involved.

    A source with direct knowledge of the matter, declining to be identified, confirmed that the injunction by the Delhi High Court covered the two diabetes drugs.

    Merck sued another Indian company, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, over the two brands in April, saying Glenmark had directly infringed MSD's intellectual property. The same court is due to hear that case on July 15.

    Aprica Pharma could not be immediately reached for a comment.

    Diabetes treatment is a growing market in India where about 65 million people take medicines for type-2 diabetes.

    Keeping your skin healthy on holiday - Travel insurance for pre ...

    Insurancewith Blog

    Keeping your skin healthy on holiday


    Today we have a guest blog from Jennifer Young who has created the skin care collection Defiant Beauty?which she created for people who have been diagnosed with cancer.? The changes to your skin after cancer treatment can be quite dramatic, and Jennifer?s blog below sheds some light on why this may happen and what we can do to minimise the effects.

    Over to you Jennifer...


    Our clients tell us that travelling after treatment for cancer is very different to holidays ?before?. Not only is travel insurance that covers cancer more of an issue but their skin isn?t the same and their tolerance to heat seems to have changed as well. The body goes through a lot during treatment for cancer and there are many reasons for those changes.
    A lot of the chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of cancer are known to cause skin-related side effects in some individuals. Radiation treatment also impacts skin health, both at the time of treatment and post treatment 1
    Clients tell us of problems being exacerbated by exposure to the sun and describe their skin reaction as an extreme photosensitivity resulting in a red rash and then dry and scaly skin.
    There are a number of things that can be done to help with this skin condition, ranging from avoiding the sun to protecting the skin when in the sun.
    Here are a few ideas for your holidays (I am so British- it?s my assumption that there?s no sun without travel).
    ????????? Make sure you know that where the shade is/will be and when
    ????????? Keep your sensitive areas covered with loose fitting, light cotton or bamboo clothing
    ????????? Don?t use heavily fragranced body care products
    ????????? Use UV protection
    ????????? Keep your skin moisturised

    Moisturising the skin may be trickier than it at first appears. Often Skin becomes extra sensitive after and during treatment for cancer. The majority of our clients tell us that they are no longer able to tolerate the skin care brands that they used to love and they now wish to avoid ingredients that they now discover are included in many skincare ranges.? On average, creams and lotions have about 5 times the number of ingredients used in oils and balms, so that?s five times as many ingredients for sensitive skinned cancer patients and survivors to react to.
    Our Defiant Beauty products are oil-based, we have no water containing products such as creams or lotions. This is for very good reason. In order to make a cream or lotion, water and oil must be mixed and emulsified in order for the cream or lotion to form. This emulsification process requires the addition of emulsifiers to the formulation. Preservatives are also needed as water is included and so bacteria, moulds and fungus could and will grow if they are not included. There are many more ingredients that need to be added to the formulation so that the oil/water mix feels soft and smooth on the skin and has an appropriate pH.? Water is a useful ingredient but oils are more moisturising and easily absorbed, therefore those ingredients best known to be soothing and healing are oils.
    Furthermore sensitive skin is not only a problem for those who have had treatment for cancer, many medications can affect the balance of the skin, we tend to forget that the skin is an organ too, and therefore the above advice can apply to anyone who is experiencing skin sensitivity due to their medication.

    Supreme Court 2013: The Year in Review

    159832106 Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts arrives during the presidential inauguration on Capitol Hill on Jan. 21, 2013.

    Photo by Win McNamee/AFP/Getty Images

    Chief Justice Roberts? opinion in Shelby County v. Holder, the Voting Rights Act case, is a pretty lame piece of work. There is a longstanding constitutional norm of judges deferring to Congress. Courts strike down laws when they violate rights or exceed Congress? power. But Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires nine states in the South (and other scattered places) to get approval from the Justice Department before changing their election laws, doesn?t violate anyone?s rights. It?s the type of legislation specifically authorized by the 15th Amendment of the Constitution, which says the right to vote ?shall not be abridged? because of race or color. Roberts says that the singling out of Old South states, for what?s called ?preclearance? by DoJ, makes little sense now that blacks are as likely to register to vote as whites in those states, or nearly so. But Congress passes hundreds of statutes that are based on weak evidence, and courts routinely uphold them. Roberts doesn?t even try to argue that the costs imposed on states by the preclearance part of the Voting Rights Act exceed the benefits for people who would otherwise be deprived of the vote, which is what would be minimally necessary to show that the law does not advance the public good.

    Instead, Roberts focuses on the offense to the sovereignty of states and a newly invented idea he calls the ?fundamental principle of equal sovereignty.? State sovereignty means that the federal government should not intrude on political decision-making of states, including, Roberts says, their election laws; equal sovereignty means that when it does, it should intrude equally?on all of the states to the same degree.

    But neither of these principles can explain where Roberts ends up. The idea of state sovereignty is riddled with exceptions and is largely a joke these days. The federal government calls the shots, and the states obey, in the area of elections as much as in any other. Roberts accepts the constitutionality of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which forbids states to discriminate against minority voters and in this way also intrudes on state control over their elections. (Section 2 wasn?t at issue in the case the court decided Tuesday, so it?s alive and well. But it relies on lawsuits, not preapproval by the Justice Department, to ensure the rights of minority voters.) If Section 2 does not violate the Constitution, then what is special about Section 5?which also forbids discrimination? From the standpoint of state autonomy, Roberts? argument does not wash.

    That leaves the ?fundamental principle of equal sovereignty,? the idea that Congress may not single out certain states for special burdens. Yet Roberts is able to cite only the weakest support for this principle?a handful of very old cases that address entirely different matters. None of the usual impressive array of founding authorities show up in his analysis, even though the founding generation took state sovereignty much more seriously than we do today.

    Still, it is worth looking at this principle. What exactly is wrong with the singling out of states by the federal government? Is the idea that when Alabama is on the playground with the other states, they?re going to make fun of it because it had to ask its mama for permission before going out to play? In fact, the federal government doesn?t treat states equally and couldn?t possibly. Nearly all laws affect different states differently. Disaster-relief laws benefit disaster-prone states at the expense of disaster-free states. Pollution-control laws burden industrial states. Progressive taxes burden states where the rich are concentrated. Thanks to Congress, the Environmental Protection Agency can single out states with serious pollution problems, the Justice Department can keep an eye on states with serious corruption problems, and immigration authorities can single out border states for surveillance. Indeed, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act will continue to burden states with substantial minority populations relative to other states, just because you can?t discriminate against a minority population that doesn?t exist. Many more Section 2 claims will be brought in Alabama than in Montana, and so even under Section 2, Alabama has vastly less control over its election law than Montana has over its election law. Yes, Section 5 places an incremental burden on Alabama?but on top of an already unequal burden that Roberts cheerfully tolerates. So whatever explains the court?s decision today, the putative principle of equal sovereignty can?t be it.

    PFT: Police return to Hernandez home amid probe

    Aaron Hernandez PicGetty Images

    Police continue to investigate the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, and Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez continues to get legal advice from a large, international, corporate firm with more than 1,000 lawyers.? If Hernandez ever ends up facing murder charges there?s one thing he needs more than anything else:? A lawyer who has tried many murder cases.

    For now, Hernandez is represented by Michael Fee of Ropes & Gray.? Fee is the obvious choice from the firm?s broad corporate practice.? Basically, he?s the guy who represents the corporate muckety-mucks who get charged with ?white collar? crimes.

    Fee?s online bio, the carefully-crafted practice summary prepared for every lawyer at every large firm, makes it clear that Fee has plenty of experience in criminal cases, but says nothing about murder cases.

    Plenty of white-collar criminal defense lawyers at major firms started as prosecutors.? So did Fee.? But his online bio indicates he enforced laws regarding corruption from public officials, not laws against murder or related crimes.

    At some point, Hernandez will need to realize that he may need something other than a white-collar criminal defense lawyer.? If he?s charged with murder, Hernandez will need someone who has tried murder cases.? Preferably as both the prosecutor and as the defense attorney.? It?s critically important to have a lawyer who knows from experience how these cases get put together, and how they can be taken apart.

    Also, Hernandez arguably would be far better off with a lone Vincent LaGuardia Gambini-style wolf than a prominent partner in a prominent firm.? Lawyers in large firms can be almost as worried about the questions they?ll face from their colleagues as they are about getting a successful result for the client.? Cases can easily be overlawyered by folks who dread the ?Did you argue this?? Did you argue that?? Did you do this?? Did you do that?? inquiries they?ll face from jerk-store colleagues who like to point out in passive-aggressive fashion that they would have done a better job.

    If Hernandez ever is charged with murder and if Fee ends up sitting at counsel table as the lead lawyer, he?ll possibly be out of his element ? but he?ll never be able to admit it.? The best (or perhaps worst) example of this comes from the defense fashioned by the late Vincent Fuller on behalf of Mike Tyson in 1992.? Fuller, a powerful lawyer at a big D.C. firm who represented Don King on tax evasion charges and proved John Hinckley was insane when he shot Ronald Reagan, had no experience handling rape cases in Indiana.? And it showed.? Fuller, as explained by Sports Illustrated at the time, painted Tyson as sex-crazed animal in order to show that Tyson?s victim had to know what was going to happen when she went to his hotel room.

    The picture painted by Tyson?s own lawyer likely made it easier for the jury to send him to jail.

    If Hernandez faces murder charges in Bristol County, Massachusetts, he needs someone who has prosecuted murder cases in Bristol County, Massachusetts (preferably with the person who?ll be prosecuting Hernandez), who has defended murder cases in Bristol County, Massachusetts (preferably against the person who?ll be prosecuting Hernandez), and who has practiced before the Bristol County judge who?ll preside over the case.? Even if Fee has none of those qualities, it will be tempting for Fee to explain to Hernandez that Fee can do the job, since Hernandez has one thing most murder defendants don?t ? a lot of money to pay the bill.

    In the end, that money will be best spent on someone who knows the prosecutor well, knows the judge well, knows the courtroom well, and knows the ins and outs of crafting reasonable doubt in a Bristol County, Massachusetts murder case.

    Actually, the smartest move could be to assume charges are coming and to hire that lawyer now.? It?s obvious that Hernandez being targeted for potential prosecution, at a minimum for obstruction of justice.? The sooner he?s getting advice from a uniquely-qualified person who?d handle a murder trial, the better.

    For all anyone knows, Hernandez already is.

    Hillary Clinton would like to see a woman U.S. president

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton has fed speculation that she might run for the White House in 2016 by telling an audience in Canada that she would like to see a woman president in the United States in her lifetime.

    "Let me say this, hypothetically speaking, I really do hope that we have a woman president in my lifetime," Clinton told a private audience in Toronto. "And whether it's next time or the next time after that, it really depends on women stepping up and subjecting themselves to the political process, which is very difficult."

    Clinton, a Democrat who was secretary of state under President Barack Obama, a former senator from New York and is the wife of former President Bill Clinton, is said to be undecided whether to seek the presidency in 2016.

    Many Democrats and Republicans in the United States are expecting her to run, although the 65-year-old Clinton has said she needed to rest after four years as a globe-trotting secretary of state.

    Polls have indicated she is far and away the most popular potential Democratic candidate for 2016, and that most Americans would prefer her to several possible Republican contenders.

    Clinton picked up an endorsement on Tuesday from Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, who announced she is supporting a group encouraging Clinton to run for the White House.

    McCaskill, who backed Obama over Clinton in the Democratic primaries in 2008, became the first member of Congress to announce her support for Clinton.

    She praised the political action committee called Ready for Hillary for using the Internet to build support in the hope that Clinton will run.

    Last week Clinton started her official Twitter account, describing herself as, among other things, a "wife, mom, lawyer, women & kids advocate." She alluded to her future as "TBD" - to be determined.

    In her speech in Toronto, delivered on Thursday and posted on YouTube on Friday, Clinton said electing a woman president would "would send exactly the right historic signal to girls, women as well as boys and men. And I will certainly vote for the right woman to be president."
