Gay civil rights bills race to the Supreme Court, but which has the best shot?
Back in February, a three-judge panel of the California Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Proposition 8 – the state ban on same sex marriage – unconstitional. On Tuesday, the California Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to revisit its original ruling on Proposition 8 en banc, which makes the Supreme Court of the United States the next place for the appeal. Out of all of the lawsuits making their way towards the Supreme Court on the issue of gay marriage, however, is this the one that gay rights supporters want to arrive first? And what about those opposed? There are a variety of challenges to the ban on same sex marriage and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that have been winding their way through the court system. What’s the strategy involved in choosing which case should arrive first?

Wall Street CEO pay rises 20 percent in 2011, despite losses in corporate value
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the subsequent Occupy movement and the protests against the 1 percent, you might think that financial corporations would rein in the multi-million dollar salaries paid to their CEOs. Instead, compensation to the best-paid CEOs at the largest U.S.-based financial companies collectively rose by an average of 20.4 percent in 2011, according to a new report from Bloomberg Markets magazine. This rise is even more surprising in light of the fact that 33 of the 50 biggest financial companies had negative share returns in their 2011 fiscal years. High-level investment managers maintain that many of the CEOs of companies with underwhelming stock performance are overpaid and warn that the controversy over executive pay in the financial industry will not be resolved until shareholders hold executives fully accountable for their underperformance. How should we determine what compensation is reasonable for CEOs? How can shareholders or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) limit compensation increases paid to executives when their respective companies lose value?

Breaking the link between poverty and obesity
Do obesity and poverty travel hand and hand? It turns out the the five poorest states are also among the ten most obese, with Mississippi in the number one position in both columns. In fact, a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that $1 can buy either 1200 calories of potato chips, 250 calories of vegetables, or 170 calories of fresh fruit. While there’s been plenty of research about food deserts – which involves availability – where is the corresponding conversation about the subsidies that make so much junk food inexpensive? What can be done to bring the price of healthy food down so the average American can afford to eat well?
