With its history of anti-tax Republicans, tax-fearful Democrats and bowing to corporate extortion to keep jobs in the state, Illinois has underfunded pensions, unpaid vendors and health care providers, and has many other economic woes. So, once again, Medicaid has become a target. Medicaid is often on the chopping block, probably because the perception is that it helps poor people. Now, the lingo is that the cuts being made are to save the program. No need to change priorities.
What exactly is Medicaid? It's a joint federal-state program, basically, the national health care safety net for the poor, children, the disabled and seniors, but administered separately by each state.
Who pays for Medicaid? Medicaid is a joint federal state program. The federal government has traditionally contributed over half of the needed funds to the various state Medicaid programs, but federal funds have been disappearing. There was a federal reprieve in the 2009 stimulus bill, but now those funds are gone. So, the states have to make it up. More federal cuts are planned.
What does the House Budget do to Medicaid? Right now, there is no cap on Medicaid spending. The program is based on need and eligibility. The House budget favored by Republicans including Illinois Tenth Congressional District Representative, Bob Dold, turns the program into a block grant that limits the amount of federal funds to a lump sum each year, subject to decreases as the political winds blow, and requires the states to make up the rest. The block grant proposal would cut Medicaid by one-third by 2022. To make up for the lost funds, the states would be given new flexibility to cut the number of people eligible, cap the number of eligible people who get the benefit, and cut the actual amounts paid out for the benefit of eligible and covered individuals.
What does Illinois Governor Quinn's Proposal Cut regarding Seniors and the Disabled in Nursing Homes or Supportive Living Facilities? The detailed list of proposed cuts can be found here. Because my focus is usually on the elderly and disabled in nursing homes or supportive living facilities, I'll detail some of those cuts here:
- Changing the Determination of Need (DON) for nursing and supportive living facility applicants. The DON is a two-part test that measures symptoms of mental functioning such as memory loss and the need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADL). ADL is a medical and legal term of art that includes bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, dental care, transferring (getting around the house or from the house to the car or elsewhere), cooking, laundry, other housework, shopping, managing money and all the things we all do every day to take care of ourselves. The DON also includes a measurement of how well needs are met through other programs (noting that Illinois is way down on the list of states that provide programs to assist people at home). The proposal increases the DON from 29 to 37. Here is an study by the Illinois Department of Aging that describes how the DON is scored and what the scores mean. The change could operate to eliminate people with moderate dementia. or people without dementia, but a moderate to severe problem with motor skills.
- Repeal law requiring ambulance service between hospitals and nursing homes.
- Moratorium on new admissions to intermediate care nursing facilities--about 15,000 mentally ill people will find no place to live.
- Eliminate mental health programs for nursing home residents.
- Eliminating bed holds for nursing home patients temporarily transferred to the hospital.
What does all this mean to the average Illinoisan? If you're ok with Medicaid cuts because you're not poor or feel the poor get too many benefits at your expense, think about this: As was pointed out by one of the providers who does needs evaluations for the state here, the changes would make the average 65-year-old incontinent woman with cataracts and arthritis who needs help with cooking and taking medications ineligible for nursing home or supportive living assistance.
Do you have a member of your family who is elderly or disabled? Do you think you will always be able to take care of that person at home? Do you work? Would you have to keep your elderly and/or disabled loved one alone for long periods of time each day? Can you afford in-home daytime help without state assistance? What would the home look like if your elderly or disabled loved one was left to his or her own devices all day? Would medications be taken as directed? Would reasonably nutritious meals be made? Dishes washed? Would you be worried about the senior or disabled person setting the house on fire? Forgetting to lock doors or opening doors to strangers? How do you feel about changing adult diapers? Would your parent feel demeaned by having you, his or her child, changing the diapers? What if the only person able to be at home was one of the grandchildren? Ok if it's a 20 year old? How about a 16 years old?
Ever have to get the nursing home to send grandma to the hospital? I did several years ago when I was young and unaware of Medicaid rules. My grandmother became very ill one day when I happened to visit. She was so ill, I became alarmed, and we called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. There was no way I could have managed her in my car, so I felt lucky that there was available ambulance service. Turned out that she was in fact quite ill. She was in the hospital for several days, but what were we forced to worry about? That she'd lose her room at the nursing home. I had no idea that I might have risked her room, and it didn't really matter because she was too ill for me to ignore the issue for Medicaid rules. Turned out that I was lucky because there were limits to how few days the room could be empty before the home would have pushed her out. What will happen to people in similar situations when the limits are removed? Could my family have afforded the daily nursing home rate, about $60K each year then? Could yours? Remember it's probably more now.
What if you're the person who becomes disabled or grows elderly and infirm? Do you think you'll be able to keep your home, health or dignity without assistance? How will you feel about asking your children if you can move in and if the grand kids can give you the 4:00pm diaper change?
Do you think perhaps the country needs to change its priorities away from tax cuts for the wealthiest people and corporations, and unending war, so that seniors and the disabled can be adequately cared for?

The Express-Star
Christmas time is here! (In case you haven't noticed). Many stores had already started decorating for Christmas back in October. Of course, it's the time of year when more people buy more things than any other time. Retailers are getting the jump on one another, preparing for "Black Friday," which by the way is almost becoming "Black Thanksgiving." Anticipation.
In our house, Christmas became a countdown of days with one of my children in particular. It's such a magical and special time for families, especially children who cannot wait until Santa Claus comes to town. Anticipation.
Several decades ago, Carly Simon made a popular song that became a catchy tune for a certain brand of ketchup. Advertising the thickness and richness of this tomato goop, the song said, "Anticipation…is makin' me late, is keepin' me waitin'." All the while that poor hungry soul waits in agony for the ketchup to finally drip from the bottle onto his hamburger and fries.
Anticipation is sometimes very difficult, especially when we are waiting for something pleasurable to arrive. What could be more pleasurable than Christmas, when we look forward to the cold, crisp days with a warm fire. We cannot wait until family, who perhaps traveled from far away, show up at our doorstep with grandchildren and lots of luggage in hand. We wonder if this year will bring the envied white Christmas which happens all too rarely in Oklahoma. We look forward to giving and receiving meaningful and useful gifts.
However, anticipation presents some difficulties we may not realize, difficulties that lead to what is known as holiday depression. Stress and anxiety increase during the holidays. Traffic jams, long check-out lines and bustling crowds tend to increase anger, stress and hopelessness.
Furthermore, between the times of Thanksgiving and New Years, we tend to "gear up" for the holidays and even find the stress to be tolerable because it's Christmas. When all is said and done, families go home and it's back to the regular grind of life as usual. Human nature once again proves emotional high points are usually followed by emotional lows. When that which we have so looked forward to is history, there is an emotional let-down.
How do we cope with this emotional swing? Many will cope by increasing drug or alcohol consumption. Many tragically and sadly do not cope at all and choose to end their life. The spring time, particularly February is the month when most suicides occur.
Keep in mind that anticipation is not the culprit. Anticipation is where we find hope. But, rather than anticipating the events such as the holidays and birthdays, which are merely days on the calendar that come and go, I suggest we anticipate a lifestyle of healthy relationships, activities and habits which last a lifetime. Anticipate, during the Christmas season of gifts and goodies, the giving spirit which can be practiced throughout the year. Anticipate during the Christmas season weekly or monthly activities with the family that promotes fun and togetherness all year around. Anticipate a healthy routine of physical and mental fitness which benefit us every day.
More than two thousand years ago, many anticipated the birth of The One who would save a nation. That day came and went and is now a special day that we celebrate as Christmas. However, that day marked, not the end of anticipation, but the beginning point of a whole new way of life, a life of giving, service and eternal life. The Light says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:16-17 NKJV). The Light can illuminate for us (if we allow it) anticipation of peace and a life of fulfillment and purpose. Anticipate a bright future that doesn't end with Christmas and New Years celebrations, but rather begins. Anticipate as you let The Light guide you.

Game analysis: Sometimes a young team has to learn how to finish games. At home. Against conference opponents. Welcome to Sunday's lesson for the St. Bonaventure women in a 67-59 loss to Temple in the Reilly Center. The Bonnies led by seven points with six minutes to play, but missed shots and failed to rebound as the Owls came away with the win on the Atlantic 10's Opening Day.
Turning Point: Tyonna Williams hit a three-pointer with 1:26 left to give Temple a 61-59 lead.
Player of the Game: Temple's Victoria Macaulay had 23 points and 12 rebounds.
Bona standout: Freshman Emily Michael scored 12 points hitting all four of her three-point attempts.
Walker in, Zahn out: Alaina Walker returned to the Bonnies after missing nearly two weeks with a head injury. A steady force on defense and a calming presence on offense, she scored nine points with eight rebounds in 34 minutes off the bench. The bad news was that Ashley Zahn left the game after getting hit in the mouth. She played just 13 minutes. Crowley did not know the extent of the injury after the game.
Key stat: Temple had 15 offensive rebounds which they turned into 12 second-chance points.
Key stat II: Temple created 21 points off 14 Bona turnovers.
The 100-win club: Fifth-year Temple head coach Tonya Cardoza won her 100th career game. Her overall record is 100-46.
What It Means: Bona loses its Atlantic 10 opener and has its 18-game regular season conference win streak snapped.
In the House: 527 in the Reilly Center.
He said it: "We can't blow another lead because we don't rebound. That's on our players to correct. It's not all of sudden that you magically make an adjustment. You know how to box out. It burned us before. Let's not let it happen again." -- Bona coach Jim Crowley
Up next: The Bonnies play at Richmond on Wednesday.

Last year i bought NIS from retail store.
Norton is best antivirus as per me and my observations(I have used many antivirus on my laptop and desktop),My friends buy quick heal, McAfee, some doesnt work properly and others get affected by virus itself.
Ppl hav wrong perception that, Norton 360 is better then norton internet security. The only difference between them is Norton 360 has 2 extra feature - 1.PC Tuner, 2.Online 2gb free data backup (which can be upgraded to 25gb by purchase),so buy it only if u want dis two features. As per my view there are many free PC Tuner softwar... (Expand)
I was a kasperdky user for the last 5 years, I didnt like norton because it was a system hog but from the last 2 years I was getting positive reviews for norton.and finaaly i thought of giving a try to norton( though i am a fan of kaspersky)...I am trully amazed by norton now, the installation was quick it needs very less memory and doesnt slows down your pc infact my pc is acting faster then ever before. the updates are quick and simple and the main thing the firewall and antivirus are simply too good apart from that it also supports chrome and firefox so you can do your netbanking and onl...

Asusual, Delivering the product in 2 days, i dont think any other online retailers in india can beat flipkarts service. kudos.!!
Now about Norton Internet Security 2012, It has broken the myth that norton will slow down your system. I bought Bit Defender first, and it totally stopped my internet browsing as i was using win 7 64 bit version, but then i donwloaded the trial version of Norton 2012 Internet security,I used it for one month, no slowdown in system speed or performance and nothing can beat norton in filtering malicious malwares and viruses.

It is not only an antivirus, but it is also like a pc healer and booster, it automatically scans all the programs and if any of them try to do something suspicious or even connect to the internet, it blocks them. It constantly monitors every programmer's memory usage and if abnormal reports it to you. Enable it on your bower and it tells you whether a website is clean or not as soon as you visit it, protects you from scams and frauds and if Parental control is enabled it maintains a history of what is happening on the computer and password protects it. Also it helps you manage your password... (Expand)
After using this product for more than a moth, here's what I felt about it.
?????? This product is awesome. It instantly detects any form of malware and neutralizes it. It deletes any suspicious file even before they are executed.
?????? Low on resources: This hardly takes any memory at all. At maximum load I have seen it to use ~300MB RAM. Believe me, that's really low.

Hi, I work for Symantec for the past 2 years and I have to say this, if you have a slow computer, NIS is the best choice, its light and its great too.

— HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett today proclaimed April to be "Financial Education Month" in Pennsylvania, calling it essential that Pennsylvanians of all ages know how to manage money, credit, investments and debt.
"As our economy continues to improve, it is important for Pennsylvanians to make educated decisions about how to invest and protect their money," Corbett said in a statement.
In his proclamation, Corbett praised several Pennsylvania initiatives aimed at promoting financial education and literacy:


text: Air Date: 01/15/13 Sometimes parents will tell children not to tell anyone about something that happens. Maybe they don't want their child talking about the mothers spending habits, schedule, or new boyfriend to her ex-husband or her child's therapist. Little do parents know that this creates a significant amount of emotional turmoil on a young child. Furthermore, it teaches children that lying is okay. And what if one day a bad person tells a child "we want to just keep what happened today as a secret between you and me." If you lie by words or omission, your child may keep secrets that you need to know. Hear more suggestions on keeping children out of adult problems on this week's edition of Parenting with Cheryl Erwine.

We listen to old buildings and will communicate with you keeping your house in mind.
Simply put...we love old buildings! We are a small firm working only on historic homes that are 50 years and older. We believe in options. We will work for you, with you, or teach you how to repair and/or maintain your home.
Ol' House Experts specializes in education, house investigation, and restoration and repairs in:
- wood windows
- doors
- zinc camed windows
- stained glass
A first consultation would entail meeting with you at the project site and determining the scope of work. Historic buildings are unique and interesting, always presenting problem-solving challenges. We understand that and believe in helping you with advice and suitable options for the project. A firm quote is sent and work will proceed as agreed upon after the first FREE consultation.
For a typical historic window restoration, window sashes, interior stops, and parting beads are removed safely and cleanly from the site. Ol House Experts prefers to complete most restoration work in our shop where we have control of environmental factors. This is the safest and most cost effective way.
Procedures for restoration are completed with as much sensitivity as possible. We respect and understand the historic materials and methods used in buildings throughout time. For example: in-kind species and sometimes old growth salvaged wood is used for most wood repairs.
When a project is delivered to our shop, all hardware is removed and cleaned. Paint is removed from window sashes with steam or heat. No chemical strippers are used for this process. All glass is salvaged, cleaned, and re-installed. We are dealers of a new, wavy glass, which can be specified for broken and damaged glass at customers request. Quality primers, paints and finishes are used and color choices are determined by the customer. Upon completion, windows and hardware are re-installed on the job with ropes and weights re-attached.

i agree w/ all that.
that's why I dont buy UFC ppvs. i just d/l them from the net. because you know there will only be 1-2 good fights.
in PRIDE there is always 5-6 good fights and the event and production is tremendous
It was a memorable moment...not a great moment because it wasnt that pretty...but of course they are going to promote it, he beat a hall of famer..that's a career moment..not an awesome win....but a career moment

SOMETIMES? I feel that way almost always and it is not just suspision or speculation, it as a fact. UFC tries very very hard to dictate fighters skill levels and opponents by hyping them up and setting them up fights that drastically favor them.
There are the occasional "fair" fights where a champion must fight a great fighter with the same strengths (or rare breeds with different strengths than yours that just nulify your strengths), these are rare cases and when they happen, it usually is not good for the poster boys. Hence A. Silva and Hughes getting raped up until Penn gassed in the 2nd round because untill the 3rd round, BJ was up 2-0 and was on his way to a victory but burned all of his energy going for that choke that would've put normal men to sleep but a horse-necked beast like Hughes, will withstand that onslaught as we wittnessed in the 2nd Trigg fight as he is the best champion the UFC has ever seen and is a beast of a mab that is the ONLY legit world ranked #1 fighter that UFC has as I strongly feel if Pride had a WW class Hughes would be the champion.

Everytime you see a Franklin clip with his career story that win over Shamrock is always the highlight of his career wins like it is something spectacualr...
Franklin is the msot overhyped overpromoted overmarketed fighter of all time!

Yes I did forget about Lindland.... He is a tough spot, I would put him at 3-4 with Hendo being either 3 or 4. At this point in time, maybe the fight would favor Lindland, 2 years ago Hendo is clearly the best MW in the world, time has caught up with him so yeah, either Hendo 3 and Lindland 4 or vice versa.
Yeah Franklin's definitely top 10, top 5 in my opinion despite this loss. When I first saw Silva strike, against Leben, I was thinking he'd be a very tough test for Franklin..his strikes are so fluid and he's very agile on his feet. Anyways I think Franklin should get Swick, like how the UFC likes to pit fighters who just lost in their title fights against top contenders or rising stars in their next fight, as in Tanner vs. Loiseau, and Loiseau vs. Swick. Maybe put this on the same card as Silva vs. TUF 4 MW winner?

August 1, 2014
Cyclists in Wisconsin Rapids biked Saturday to raise money for the central Wisconsin Never Forgotten Honor Flight.
More than 100 participants came out to ride in the 100 mile or 50 mile route.
All the money from the event goes to the program, which sends WWII veterans to Washington D.C.
Organizers say it's the least they can do for the men and women who served our country.
"Everyone either knows or has a grandfather or father that served in WWII," Honor Fight co-founder Mike Thompson said. "I think we all respect and honor those folks and want to put them on a plane to Washington DC free of charge."
This is the second year of the ride.
Thompson says they're already on track to beat the $17,000 raised last year, which sent more than 30 vets on the trip.
"We've got an 87-year-old WWII veteran that's going to do the 50 mile with us this morning, so that's pretty incredible," Thompson said. "Warm to my heart."
The two flights in September and October give veterans the chance to see the war memorials in D.C.

LUDLOW, Vt. – Cooler nights and shorter days are turning snowsports enthusiasts' thoughts to snow-covered trails and ski-trip gatherings with friends and family. It's almost Okemo time and one of the East's most-loved resorts is getting ready with some big improvements for the upcoming season.
Improved Snowmaking
Operation Snowburst is a nearly $1 million investment in Okemo's snowmaking system that includes the purchase of 225 HKD SV tower guns and significant upgrades to pumps and pipeline. This capital improvement is the largest snowmaking investment Okemo has made in three decades. Utilizing energy-efficient, state-of-the-art technology will allow Okemo to maximize its water-pumping ability and snowmaking potential from the very start of the season. Under favorable conditions, Okemo will begin the 2013/14 ski and snowboard season with more skiing and riding than ever before.
"This is one of our biggest snowmaking projects and one that could change the way Okemo skis." said Okemo Mountain Resort Vice President and General Manager Bruce Schmidt.
New Terrain
The addition of another glade this winter brings Okemo's trail count to 120. Rated as a blue-square intermediate, Okemo's newest glade is 2,200 feet long and comprises 3.75 acres. Unlike the many hardwood glades typical of the Resort, this tree-skiing area is mostly evergreens – providing skiers and riders with a tranquil sense of solitude between two popular green-circle trails near Okemo's summit. The new glade, called Everglade, begins on Whistler and runs between, and parallel to, Easy Rider and Sunburst. It connects with Mountain Road just above the Jackson Gore intersection. Similar to three glades introduced last winter, this new glade is moderately sloped and generously thinned, allowing skiers and riders who are new to tree skiing a chance to experiment with new terrain and challenges. This new glade also adds to the Okemo Ski + Ride School's quiver for instruction.
New Partnership with Killington and Pico
Killington Resort, Okemo Mountain Resort, Pico Mountain at Killington and Mount Sunapee Resort have formed a new partnership with the launch of 4.0 The College Pass for undergraduate and graduate students. The pass is priced at $369 plus tax through Dec. 15, 2013. It offers the most terrain in the East for college students: 378 trails or 150 miles of skiable terrain with 8,727 vertical feet, 19 terrain parks and 59 lifts as well as superior snowmaking and grooming capabilities.
The all-new 4.0 The College Pass will offer unlimited skiing and riding at Killington Resort, Okemo Mountain Resort, Pico Mountain at Killington and Mount Sunapee Resort, and includes five 50-percent off college-buddy tickets (valid with college ID). Additionally, skiers and riders who purchase 4.0 The College Pass at Okemo Mountain Resort will receive 25 percent off multi-day lift tickets at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, in Colo. Also, students who have recently completed their scholastic career and graduated in 2013 can purchase the 4.0 The College Pass at Okemo.
"This is an unprecedented partnership between four of New England's top resorts that will offer more for college pass holders, while at the same time allowing us to explore other partnership opportunities with Killington and Pico for the future," said Okemo Mountain Resort Vice President and General Manager Bruce Schmidt.
Pass benefits will vary at each resort and will be sold through each resort's website and on-site.
Additional Improvements
Okemo's new partnership with Killington and Pico will extend to the purchase of multi-day tickets as well. When a skier or rider purchases a multi-day lift ticket valid for three or more days, they may spend one of those days at a partner resort: Killington, Pico, Okemo or Sunapee.
Okemo's Jackson Gore Inn has made improvements and upgrades to its guest rooms. Okemo's Rental and Repair shop is upgrading software to allow for online reservations of equipment in advance. A new Starbucks coffee kiosk will be located at the Solitude Day Lodge. There will be new tables and chairs, and restrooms renovations at the Summit Lodge, plus new carpet in several on-mountain buildings, and new seat pads on the Green Ridge Lift chairs.
For more information, please call (802) 228-1600, or visit www.okemo.com.

SACRAMENTO, CA-- A federal judge sentenced Juan Gallegos, also known as "Wino," to 21 years and 10 months in prison for conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana along with our other drug trafficking felonies, according to law enforcement officials.
Gallegos, a member of Nuestra Familia, a violent Hispanic prison gang based in Northern California, helped transport and distribute large loads of the drugs from Southern California to Northern California, federal officials stated.
During his guilty plea, Gallegos, 36, of Salinas, admitted that he provided security for the 20 kilograms of cocaine as they were transported in furtherance of the overall NF drug trafficking conspiracy, stated FBI and other authorities.
The initial Indictment of 25 defendants in June 2007 led to two successful jury trials, according to officials.
The jury trials resulted in the convictions of five separate defendants on multiple counts of drug trafficking.
In the 2009 trial, one defendant demanded a speedy trial, was convicted, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to U.S. Attorney's Office.
In the 2010 trial, four of the NF's leadership defendants were each convicted on all the counts in the indictment after a contentious four-month jury trial.
Today's sentencing was the latest result of the new indictment that was handed down by a Sacramento Grand Jury in January 2011, officials stated.

Springfield, Mass. -- February 5, 2011 -- Led by the Classic Most Valuable Player, Levi Cabral, the California Baptist men's volleyball team captured the 2011 Volleyball Hall of Fame Morgan Classic over the University of the Pacific. In the consolation match, it was the Springfield College men's volleyball team coming away with a 3-0 victory over Grand Canyon University tonight at SC's Blake Arena. Cal Baptist won by the set scores of 25-18,27-25, 25-14. Springfield won over Grand Canyon 27-25, 25-20, 25-23.
The win boosts Cal Baptist, the top-ranked NAIA team in the country, record to 10-3, while Pacific falls to 5-6.
Cabral had another monster match as he pounded out a match-high 15 kills at a .444 clip to go along with five digs and five blocks. Fellow All-Tournament team honoree Sebastien Steigmeyier added 12 kills while hitting .435. Blair Penner directed the Lancer attack with a .387 hitting percentage as he doled out 31 assists and tacked on five digs and five blocks. Ricky Brazee finished with a match-high six blocks.
For Pacific, All-Tournament selection Taylor Hughes was the lone Tiger to tally double-digit kills as he finished with 14 at a .346 clip. Sean Daley added five kills and three blocks, and Javier Caceres notched a match-high seven digs. As a team, Pacific hit just .076 for the match.
Cal Baptist finished with 12.5 team blocks and posted five service aces.
With its win, Springfield, still ranked #1 in the nation according to the AVCA Division III poll, is now 3-5, while Grand Canyon dips to 5-10.
In a tournament that yearly features some of the best teams in the entire country, tonight's win marks just the third time in 11 years that Springfield has won a match in the Classic. Now in its 24th year overall, Springfield has won matches in back-to-back years after toppling George Mason in four sets in last year's consolation.
Senior opposite Alberto Bravo (Tao Baja, Puerto Rico) led the Pride with 12 kills this evening. He had only four errors in 18 swings for a .444 hitting percentage. Sophomore outside hitter Mike Pelletier (Burnt Hills, N.Y.) followed with nine kills and just two errors in 22 swings for a .318 hitting percentage.
Making a big difference in play, however, was senior All-America middle blocker Cal Palumbo (Rochester, N.Y.) with his .556 hitting percentage (six kills, one error, in nine swings) and his eight blocks. Also playing well was sophomore setter Mike Becker (Hempfield, Pa.) with his 35 set assists.
As a team, SC finished with 21 blocks, compared to Grand Canyon's 15. SC finished with a .377 hitting percentage, compared to .200 for the Antelopes.
For Grand Canyon, which is in Phoenix, Ariz., sophomore libero Trent Bruns (Mission Viejo, Calif.) topped all players with 10 digs. Freshman outside hitter Ben Ponnet (Merchtem, Belgium) led with nine kills. Right behind him were sophomore outside hitter Jordan Tarantino (Valley Center, Calif.) and freshman outside hitter Ben Hunt (Huntington Beach, Calif.) with eight kills each. Sophomore setter Brad Moore had 33 set assists.
In set #3, Grand Canyon led 19-16, but SC scored four straight points to take a 20-19 lead. The Antelopes retook the lead at 22-21, but the Pride scored four of the last five points to clinch the match.
Springfield is now off until it travels to Sacred Heart on Tuesday, Feb. 8 for a 7 pm match.

Oakley Domination at the 2011 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon: Julie Dibens Becomes First Repeat Champion
Oakley was a dominating force at the 2011 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon taking six of the top ten spots in both the men's and women's divisions.
The Men
Out of the water after the 3k swim in front of the Emirates Palace hotel, Oakley's Dirk Bockel, Rasmus Henning and Craig Alexander led the pack just seconds behind race leader, Sylvain Sudrie.
Bockel had a quick transition and was first out on the bike, but he would not be out front for long as Bjorn Andersson quickly made a push for the lead. Oakley teammates Raynard Tissink and Cam Brown fought back from a slow start to finish the 200k ride within seven minutes of eventual leader, Andrew Starykowicz. Unfortunately, Rasmus and fellow Oakley competitor, Chris McCormack, were forced to withdraw from the race due to severe cramping and cleat issues, respectively.
Even though, Starykowicz hit the second transition with nearly six minutes on Bockel, the Oakley powerhouse made up more than four minutes within the first 10k. After a charge by Belgian triathlete Frederik Van Lierde knocked Starykowicz from the lead however, Bockel found himself under pressure by Van Lierde's countryman and fellow Oakley teammate Marino Vanhoenacker and was bumped into the third position. Van Lierde managed to hold on for the win with Vanhoenacker and Bockle finishing second and third within 30 seconds of his time.
The Women
Oakley's Julie Dibens led from start to finish to defend her 2010 title, but her lead did not go uncontested.
Dibens exited the water seven seconds up on Leanda Cave, two minutes ahead of Oakley teammates Rachel Joyce and Caroline Steffen and nearly five minutes ahead of the rest of the field.
Her dominance continued on the bike where she quickly distanced herself from Cave. Upon her first entry into the Yas Marina Circuit, Dibens held a solid two-minute lead, which she extended to five minutes by the second pass. Despite the distance between her and second place, Dibens continued to push the pace and hit the run with almost nine minutes on Steffen who has surpassed Cave on the bike.
Steffen did manage to gain some time on Dibens, but there was too much ground to make up and Dibens crossed the line in first place to become the first repeat champion of the Abu Dhabi International Triathlon. Steffen crossed the line in second place and was followed by fellow Oakley teammate Catriona Morrison for an Oakley sweep of the women's podium.
"It's awesome to win in Abu Dhabi again," said Dibens. "I had to push myself like never before. I felt great all day and knew this was a race I could win."

The U.S. Government, as well as every state government in the U.S., offers many government job opportunities to all kinds of individuals looking for work. Applicants can apply for any government job through their local state job board.
How to Get a Government Job:
The process of getting a job with the government is similar to getting a private-sector job. You will need to search for an opening, create and submit a resume, and possibly even interview. However, there are many laws and regulations regarding government employment.State governments will all have different regulations regarding government employment eligibility, pay scale, and job requirements.
Types of Government Jobs Available:
There are different kinds of jobs you can get from the Federal Government. They fall into three main categories
- Competitive Service
- Excepted Service
- Senior Executive
You need to decide which government job fits you and your needs.
Competitive Service: The most common type. Applicants compete with one another in open competition. Jobs are given out by merit under the criteria set up by the Office of Personnel Management. Government jobs will fall into Competitive Service if they are not Senior Executive of Excepted Service. If you're not sure where your job is, it probably falls under Competitive Service.
Excepted Service: For the most part, Excepted Service falls under national security and/or intelligence functions. The CIA, NSA, Department of State, FBI, Homeland Security, and Secret Service hire under Excepted Service. But excepted service does not only include high-level, sensitive areas of government. Patent examiners and DOD school teachers also fall under Excepted Service.
Senior Executive: Meant for men and women who will lead the continuing transformation of government. They are selected based on a history of commitment to public service, as well as a history of leadership. You will need to prove that you possess Executive Core Qualifications during the application process.
How to Apply For a Government Job:
When applying for a government job you should create a profile and resume on usajobs.gov. You need to submit accurate information in both of them. You can search for jobs by keyword, salary range, and location. You will also need:
- The general occupational form, required for many jobs, which can be found at http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/OPM1203fx.pdf
- Supplemental forms, depending on what occupation you are looking for
- Proof of Identification
- Social Security number
- Know what type of job you are looking for, whether you are looking for temporary, permanent or volunteer work. The benefits for each will differ.

Today, E. J. Dionne, Jr., senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for the Washington Post, spoke at the Miller Center Forum on his new book, Our Divided Political Heart. In the Progressive tradition, the thesis of the book and of Dionne's remarks is that from the beginning, Americans have been torn between the core values of individualism and community. While we cherish liberty, individual opportunity and self-expression, we also uphold the values of community obligation and civic virtue. The ongoing efforts to balance and reconcile these values have shaped the character of the nation.
Dionne argued that the Tea Party rose from sense of spiritual crisis and fears of decline, and it was a response to the perceived and real failures of George W. Bush, not only a reaction to Barack Obama's ascendance to the presidency. The Tea Party's solution was to reach back to the founders and the Constitution. Dionne acknowledged that is useful to go back to the founding to figure out who we are and those on progressive side need to engage with Tea Party about this. However, Dionne's criticized the Tea Party and conservatives in the Republican Party for jettisoning the nation's communitarian traditions in favor of individualism and thereby breaking from their own best traditions. Dionne made the case that America is a freer society when we take care of "freedom from want" and he argued for a return to the balance between individual and community values that characterized most of American history.

I just was re-reading this recipe after making it for dinner tonight, and realized I omitted the egg and mustard! I'm actually pretty shocked about that, because I thought this recipe was the best salmon patty recipe I have ever made (and I've been making them for 20+ years)! My husband
who doesn't even like fish said that this one was a winner.
It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (I think it is vital that the breadcrumbs be fresh and fine). The dill sauce was perfect for it!
I will be making these again and again!

I used two cans of salmon. If I make these again I will use real fillets. The skin, bones and smell were pretty gross. I also used spicy chipotle panko bread crums. Instead of celery I sauteed garlic with the onions. After putting them together I wasnt expecting to like them. Although slightly dry, (should have used a second egg), these were pretty darn tasty. My husband and even my 10 year old liked them. I think the spicy panko gave it a really nice punch.
1 3/4 cup bread crumbs is definitely too much. 1 cup would be plenty. With whole wheat breads crumbs maybe less, depending on the size of the egg. One time I used panko which I preferred. I also used grated zucchini and a little paprika which added nice substance and flavor.
I serve this with Fried Green Tomatoes :)
Quick and easy dinner to make! I added 1 tbs of mayo as a extra binder as another user suggested, and shredded zucchini to the mixture to add some texture. I actually did not have salmon on hand, so I used canned tuna instead, which still worked out very well. The dill sauce goes perfectly with this dish. Served with home made coleslaw. Delish!
I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out great. Very tasty, very easy to make. The real stand out was the creamy dill dressing that accompanies the recipe. Leftovers were made into a fish sandwich with dill sauce the next day.

Exploding Sunroofs!
webbster1 Posts: 1I have a 2011 Jetta TDI, less than 1300 miles. Sunroof exploded in an outward direction while driving down a 2-lane road (no overpasses) at about 60 mph. Really don't think a rock hit it (as dealer professes) and no other logical explanation. It happened 10 minutes into the drive, outside temp. was 45 degrees, hadn't yet turned the heat on in the car. It's only Oct. and snow removal hasn't used rocks/sand on the road yet.
Dealer will replace it under direction from local VW mfg rep. as a part of their "good-will gesture" program since it's a new car. Great, it's paid for but what if it happens again? I'm a little concerned VW is brushing this incident off as something it isn't in order to avoid a recall. There is a flaw here that is potentially a safety risk.
I'll put up another posting after my car is fixed and I've had a deeper discussion with the dealership.
jerryshin Posts: 1I had little bit different experience. One day, I got into my car & look up the sky I noticed my sunroof glass was shattered. I was freaking out what had happened. When I took it to Mazda dealer & they inspected and conclude that there's no way this glass would shattered like this unless
manufactured defect sunroof glass. When I called Mazda USA customer service, they said your waranty has been expired. They'll not cover the sunroof. They said that's why you have insurance. I couldn't believe my ear when he said that. I also have other problem with steering wheel. Mazda is a junk car. More to that Mazda USA is junk company which would not listen customer's voice. I would never ever buy Mazda again & I'll tell all my friends about this company
jahute Posts: 1coming home to arizona the sunroof exploded on our minivan. felt like rocks were dropped on the roof. We did not hit a bump, 45 degrees, 70 mph and no drop in elevation. And no my wife was not driving. The hole was in the center of the window and the remaining glass was angled outward like the object hit the glass from the inside. we had the cover shut which was good because otherwise glass could have hit anyone inside the car
kellygrl Posts: 1on the way to work today!! scared crap out of me!! Brought it right to Woodhouse Mazda in Omaha where without hesitation they said it would be covered under warranty & has happened to 2 other Mazda vehicles. They said it was because of higher pressure in the vehicle & it is very windy day.
kylen2002 Posts: 1I just had the same situation happen with my 2012 Kia Sorento EX (new when purchased; owned for 8 months; 8,000 miles currently), and I'm wondering how you were able to get Kia to cover this under warranty.
I was driving down I-88 on Saturday, April 21st when suddenly there was a loud gunshot/explosion sound. I wasn't driving under an overpass, and no cars or semi's were anywhere near my vehicle. It was actually a nice sunny day with the temp in the mid 50's. After recovering from the initial shock, I noticed wind coming from above. Luckily I was able to grab the sunroof cover (which was thankfully closed) and hold it closed before it opened and allowed thousand of glass shards to fall onto my girlfriend and me. Once I realized what had happened, I pulled over and called Kia roadside assistance immediately. The vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership for inspection as directed by the people at Kia. Once the service manager was able to take a look at the vehicle on Monday, he said that he could not find an impact point from any outside force, and that it was obviously a defect in the glass. For some reason the Kia rep in Arizona is saying that this is not covered under warranty. We fought back on this all day Monday, and the case # is currently being escalated for further review. We are supposed to hear back by today. I have a bad feeling that they are going to come back, and still refuse warranty coverage. Sorry for the wordiness, but I wanted to explain my experience as detailed as possible.
Can you please provide me with some detail regarding your experience? I don't want to have to take Kia to court, but I will gladly do so if it comes down to it. I'd appreciate any help that you can provide. I'd be happy to provide you with my personal email address if you'd prefer. Thank you.
steveo22 Posts: 1I was driving on the highway with no traffic in front of me doing about 110 km when I heard a load bang and found that my sunroof had blown out.
I spoke to Nissan about what had happened and they gave the same answer that many of you have heard "it was probably caused by road debris"
Nisan for some reason does not seem to be taking this as a safety concern and considered the matter closed when I told them insurance was going to cover it.
Unfortunatly I don't really expect any answers from them I did still want to ask the questions.
I have sent Nissan Canada the following letter:
To the attention of Nissan Canada I had a sunroof catastrophically fail at highway speeds shattering into small rectangular fragments. The road was quiet and I did not see anything hit my car but when it blew out it sounded like a shot gun going off. When I pulled over to inspect what had happened I found a large hole in my sunroof about 6 inches in diameter with the edges pointing outwards. The interior of the car was also covered in small shards of glass as well as a piece approximately 2 inches in diameter that was still intact. How common is it for tempered glass to fail in this way and is this being treated as a safety concern with Nissan? In my opinion a sunroof should not be able to shatter in this way, either from being struck by an object or from a catastrophic failure of the stresses that is inherent in tempered glass. Much of the glass shattered into pieces .15 x .15 x .05 inches. These fragments are easily small enough to go into the eyes of the occupants and cause injury as well as a possible accident. I am surprised that a laminated glass such as that used in the windshield of all modern automobiles is not used for this application as it would have solved this problem. I did speak to Nissan Canada as well as Brasso Nissan and was given the same answer, "Nissan is not responsible for glass damage since it could have been caused by road debris.
The problem with this answer is that they are not taking responsibility for the safety concern and there should be no circumstance that a sunroof should fail in this manner. This is Nissans responsibility weather or not the damage is being caused by road debris or defects in the product itself. Either the process being used to manufacture the sunroof is wrong or the wrong material is being used for this application and it Nissans responsibility to solve this problem and provide a safe automobile for its customers. Since Nissan does not appear to be taking responsibility, could you please supply me with the following information?
Specifications of the glass being used
Manufacturer of the glass to make the sunroof
Lbs of force required to shatter the sunroof
The percentage of Sunroof glass that is found defective at time of production and was not released.
The percentage of these sunroofs that were found to be defective due to the international stresses
Measures used for quality control for this product
I am not writing this letter merely for compensation for the repairs to the Nissan Rouge although I do believe Nissan should be compensating both myself and Wawanesa for any cost incurred. Wawanesa Insurance is covering my claim even though I do not carry glass coverage since in there opinion the damage was not caused by road debris but instead a defect of the product itself.The reason for the letter is to make Nissan and Nissan owners aware of what I believe to be safety issue that up to this point Nissan has not yet addressed.
A copy of this letter will be sent to:
Nissan Canada
Wawanesa Insurance
The Alberta Motor Vehicle Council (AMVIC)
I have had the 'exploding sunroof' happen twice on my 2003 Ford Focus ZTW.The first time was about 3 years ago in spring with the ambient temp being just above freezing. I can't recall if it was windy or not, but I was going about 30kmph when I heard the 'shotgun blast' referred to in many of the previous stories. The second time was Tuesday this week with the temperature being about 15 degrees Celsius with a very strong gusty wind. Again shotgun blast followed by tinkling glass on the sliding cover. The interesting quirk is that this episode happened within less than 1/2 mile of the first incident on the same highway. I am inclined to think that it may be the car flexing that may cause this, but who knows. I would appreciate any insight. Good thing about the Ford Focus is that the glass is very easy to replace, and I was able to find new roofs at a salvage yard on both occasions.
pismopat Posts: 2The exploding sunroof just happened to me in my 2011 Ford Taurus. It is still in the warranty period, but Ford is fighting me on it saying that is a road hazard. Noting hit the car. We were going 70 mph on a 74 degree day on an open 4 lane highway with no other cars around. It's obvious that the forces went outward.
If I were on an LA Freeway, there would have been a big accident behind me as the glass started hitting cars.
maritak Posts: 1Re: Kylen2002:
I just had the sunroof explode on my 2013 kia sorrento, which I have had for 6 weeks. Very similar situation to yours... driving along then boom! Kia is supposed to call me tomorrow. Curious - where did you end up with Kia on this? God forbid - after the fix did it happen again?
thornt4 Posts: 2I had this happen to me in April2011 on my 2011 Kia Sorento. Same story, I was driving, loud pop and glass fell all over me. Got it towed to dealership and they covered everything under warranty. Now, get this, I was driving the same car today and the exact thing happened...yep, explosion #2. I again had it towed to the dealer and they gave me a rental. They will keep me posted. I don't expect a problem, KIA should cover the defect under warranty; however, I am concerned since my car is much older now. They will be in for a battle if they tell me it isn't covered!
kkiimm Posts: 1My sunroof suddenly shattered recently too. I have a older Ford SUV but it turns out the make and age don't matter so much as the details on the sunroof itself.
On another forum about this issue I found the below post and it turns out my sunroof is part of the recall and I never got the notice, though I have had it fixed at least 3 times as the open/shut mechanism is constantly breaking down. So I am posting this in hopes that others might read it and not spend their own money if they don't need to. I would not have known if I hadn't spent 1/2 hour or more researching the issue on the net. The glass shattering suddenly is exactly what happens in the defective sunroofs though supposedly it is "rare".
I was driving down the highway and heard a loud bang, like a large boulder fell on the roof. Then there was a rattling, crunching noise like the boulder was rolling around on top. When I stopped a couple of miles later off my exit, the glass on the sunroof was totally missing. This happened after I had been stopped in the traffic on the highway, heard a screeching and looked in my side mirror to see a little red car behind me swerving widely across three lanes or traffic, nearly tipping over and forcing other cars to swerve and screech as well. The person had jammed their brakes on to avoid rear ending me as I guess he wasn't expecting stopped cars on the highway. No one was hurt and no cars collided amazingly but my nerves for sure where on edge. And then the sunroof thing happened 5 minutes later. What are the chances of that I wonder? Especially because the defective sunroof issue is. "rare" ( riiiiigggght, but common enough to deserve a recall??!!).
Good thing I didn't have the sunroof's inside cover slid back or I would have been showered with glass going down the highway at 65mph. Good thing also that I didn't panic and swerve or slam the brakes on since I could have had a accident. But then again, having had many "clunker" cars in my life this is not the first time something drastic and unexpected has happened to my car while traveling 65 in the fast lane. Try the car stalling suddenly at this speed or the hood flying up and covering the front windshield so that you can only see through the little air vent grate; both of these happened to me in different cars and more than once, since the problems weren't easily fixable.
I thought a rock hit it, though, since I wasn't going under anything or near the edges of the road, I couldn't see how that was possible, since it would have to drop straight down with a lot of force. As they mention, actually, I did notice more wind noise than usual from the sunroof over the past month or two but I thought it just wasn't fully closed, since the mechanism to close the roof never seems to work right. And I guess you might not know if your sunroof is aftermarket either, since the dealer or the person you bought it from may not have told you. This only applies to aftermarket sunroofs, i.e. installed after the car leaves the factory assembly line.
So, to make a long story short, everyone reading this might want to check their sunroof unless they are positive it is factory installed. I don't think this is only for older sunroofs either. The website http://sunroofcheck.us/identify-your-sunroof.html shows the pictures of the sunroof open/close buttons and if your sunroof control buttons don't look like that then you are all set. If it they do then all you have to do is open the roof and look at the serial numbers pasted inside the front frame of the sunroof opening and if they are between 6000000 and 6396298 you need to replace the roof ( for free but not at the dealer; the website will list the places to take the car)
Webasto Product North America, Inc. ("WPNA") has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in vehicles equipped with certain Hollandia 700 and 600 ("700/600") aftermarket (non-factory installed) sunroofs manufactured from 2002-2009 and all TVS 900 ("900") series aftermarket sunroofs. These sunroofs are involved in a voluntary safety recall. In rare instances, conditions existing with the adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame in these affected Hollandia 700/600 and Hollandia TVS 900 series aftermarket (non-factory installed) sunroofs can increase the risk that the sunroof glass may completely debond from its frame. Completely debonded sunroof glass can detach from the vehicle while driving and could strike another vehicle or injure a pedestrian.
Complete glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually and may be evidenced by metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation and/or water leakage. These conditions may be observable for several months before complete glass-to-frame adhesion debonding can ultimately occur.
Determining If You're Affected: The most recognizable components of the sunroofs affected are the switches and presence of a Webasto logo on the sunshade handle. Below, we have provided documentation so you can identify whether your sunroof is included in the recall. All affected sunroofs will have one of the following switches (I can't post the pictures of the switches, so check the webpage, http://sunroofcheck.us/identify-your-sunroof.html )and have a Webasto logo on the sunshade handle.
larryz2 Posts: 1On Thursday August 2, 2012 my wife and I we traveling from Simi Valley Calfornia to Vancouver, BC Canada. We purchased our SRX in June 2012 and had less than 2,000 miles on it when we started our trip. We got a far as Gilroy, CA (about 300 miles into the trip) when we heard a loud explosion and then the sound of wind and broken glass. We were traveling about 65 mph on highway with no cars in front or to the side. The Sun roof was closed at the time and the shattered glass could be seen through the head liner. We got off the freeway quickly and asked ON-STAR for the nearest Cadillac dealership. Luckily it was only 1 mile away. ON-STAR downloaded turn by turn instructions and we got to the Gilroy Cadillac dealership at about 2:30 pm. They looked at the damage and tried to locate a replacement part, however, none were available in California. The dealer coordinated with the regional Cadillac rep and ordered a part from Detroit. The part was overnight shipped but would not arrive until Monday. The Cadillac people provided us with a rental car and we continued on to Oregon. We shortened our trip and returned to pick up our repaired SRX on Monday evening (4:00pm). We put over 1,300 miles on the rental car. Cadillac covered everything under warranty including the rental car.
This just happened to me while driving to work. I was on the highway here in Raleigh and doing about 70. Suddenly, just as everyone else described, a loud gunshot noise and glass flying everywhere. It was nice yesterday afternoon so my sliding cover was open since I had been using my sunroof recently. I have been in touch with Volvo USA and it sounds like they may cover the costs. Nothing hit it, I am sure, because the glass is coming upwards. A cop stopped to help me (nice folks those NC troopers!) and told me weirder things have happened, but that this was pretty weird! The glass is still cracking and I'm going to have to drive it, but with the cover closed... VERY VERY scary. Thankful I was in the right lane and was able to pull off quickly in rush hour traffic. Whew. Any other reports of this from Volvo owners? I have seen some on Volvo forums.

I got a chuckle out of this -- and I think you will, too -- even if the county executive won't.
The University Heights Answer Lady, a blogger who reserves most of her wrath for the city and UB officials, has launched something she calls the Chris Collins Temper Tantrum Watch.
She says Collins governs in the belief "anger is a management tool," and I've got to admit, she may have a point.
The Answer Lady notes, among other things, the administration's stonewalling of Justice Department efforts to investigate inmate abuse at the county jail, the county executive's strong-arming of cultural groups by demanding seats on their boards in exchange for funding, and Collins' refusal to send staff to deal with county legislators on issues such as renewable energy.
As the Answer Lady says: "Check back often. No doubt, more tantrums coming soon."
