States cannot keep same-sex couples from marrying and must recognize their unions, the Supreme Court says in a ruling that for months has been the focus of speculation. Justice Anthony Kennedy, seen as a pivotal swing vote in the case, wrote the majority opinion. "They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law," Kennedy wrote of same-sex couples in the case.

U.S. GAO - Homeland Security: DHS's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Program Consolidation Efforts. What GAO Found GAO's prior work has shown that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should complete, document, and make available analyses of key questions related to its chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) consolidation proposal.
In August 2016, we reported that several key factors were not included when DHS evaluated its organizational consolidation of CBRNE functions. For example, DHS did not fully assess and document potential problems that could result from consolidation or include a comparison of benefits and costs. Further, DHS conducted limited external stakeholder outreach, thus the proposal may not sufficiently account for stakeholder concerns. GAO's prior work found that key mergers and organizational transformation practices could further benefit DHS in its proposed CBRNE consolidation. Why GAO Did This Study.

The relationship between obesity and mortality in patients with heart failure. The study aimed to evaluate the role of obesity in the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF).
Previous reports link obesity to the development of HF. However, the impact of obesity in patients with established HF has not been studied. We analyzed 1,203 patients with advanced HF followed in a comprehensive HF management program. The patients were subclassified into categories of body mass index (BMI) defined as: underweight BMI <20.7 (n = 164), recommended BMI 20.7 to 27.7 (n = 692), overweight BMI 27.8 to 31 (n = 168) and obese BMI >31 (n = 179).
This sample size allows the detection of small effects (0.02), with a power of 0.80 and an alpha level of 0.05 for comparing one-year survival between BMI groups. Search Results.

Koch Network Plans to Spend $400 Million in U.S. Midterm Cycle. The conservative political network led by billionaires Charles and David Koch plans to spend close to $400 million on policy and politics during the two-year election cycle that culminates with November’s midterm elections, a roughly 60 percent increase over 2015-16.
That will include as much as $20 million in 2018 to sell to voters the Republican tax cuts signed in December by President Donald Trump, about the same amount Koch-affiliated groups spent on promoting the legislation in 2017, officials with the Koch network said Saturday. The plans were outlined to reporters at a three-day summit for some 550 donors and potential donors at a desert resort near Palm Springs, California. Previously, the organization had pledged to spend $300 million to $400 million this election cycle, up from the roughly $250 million it shelled out during the 2015-2016 campaign season. Left ‘Energized’ For Republicans, 2018 will be a “very challenging environment at the federal and state level,” Phillips said.
