Worker's Compensation Supplemental Leave Pay Process
General Overview
Work-related disability may result in a loss of wages. That loss may be partially off-set by wages earned on a reduced work schedule and by payments of Total Temporary Disability (TTD) made by the University's Workers' Compensation carrier, Sedgwick CMS. TTD payments provide wage replacement of up to 2/3 of gross wages, up to the maximum as designated by the law.
The remainder of the wage loss would normally go uncompensated. However, if the employee is eligible for the Supplemental Sick Leave and Vacation Leave program, he or she may supplement TTD with Sick Leave only (Option A) or Sick Leave and then Vacation Leave (Option B). Once exhausted, the employee would then be entitled to receive Extended Sick Leave (ESL). An employee may also choose No Use of Sick Leave or Vacation Leave (Option C). These options result in the following:
- Option A - Accrued Sick Leave hours may be used to fully off-set the remainder of the wage loss. SL will bring Total Income (including TTD payments) up to 100 percent of the employee's regular earnings plus shift differential.
- Option B - Subsequent to exhaustion of Sick Leave, accrued Vacation Leave (VL) hours may be used to fully off-set the remainder of the wage loss. VL will bring Total Income (including TTD payments) up to 100 percent of the employee's regular earnings plus shift differential.
- ESL - If the employee is eligible for the Extended Sick Leave (ESL) program, then, subsequent to exhaustion of the Supplemental SL/VL full off-sets, the remaining wage loss may be partially off-set by use of ESL hours for a maximum of twenty-six (26) calendar weeks. ESL will bring Total Income (including WC payments) up to 80 percent of the employee's regular earnings plus shift differential.
- Option C – Neither Sick Leave nor Vacation Leave hours will be used to supplement TTD payments. The employee will be placed on LWOP and will not be eligible for Extended Sick Leave and disability benefits under the University's Supplemental Disability Insurance Plan, and s/he will need to pay the full cost of all University Health Insurance premiums once the FMLA period has ended.
DMS sends the Sick Leave/Vacation Authorization Form for Extended Sick Leave Benefit directly to the employee. You will be notified of their choice by email. If they have not made an election within fourteen (14) calendar days, Sick Leave (Option A) will be used to supplement TTD. Once TTD payments have begun, the election cannot be changed.
Besides the income supplements of SL, VL, and ESL, the eligible employee who elects to participate in the Supplemental SL/VL and Extended Sick Leave programs (Options A and B) also receive other benefits as a supplement to TTD payments including:
- Continued credit for Holiday Leave hours while using SL, VL, or ESL as a supplement.
- Continued credit for new SL and VL accruals while using SL or VL as a supplement.
- Banking of new SL and VL accruals while using ESL, and credited upon return to full or reduced-schedule work.
- Banking of new SL and VL accruals after ESL is exhausted, and credited upon return to full or reduced-schedule work (provided WC disability continues to be medically certified).
- Payment of the employee's and the employer's contribution for medical health insurance premiums, while supplementing TTD payments with SL/VL.
- Payment of optical and dental premiums if the employee is eligible for the 12 weeks of Family and Medical Leave.
- UC Supplemental Disability payments after ESL are exhausted, if enrolled in the plan.
- Continued payment of Medical plan premiums after ESL is exhausted (UC Contingency Fund).
- Retirement Service Credit for WC payments as well as hours worked; HL, SL, VL, and ESL hours.
Please view these charts for a visual reference of the Supplemental benefits.
If the employee is working a reduced schedule, the payroll processor will need to advise Sedgwick and report the hours worked using the Weekly Report of Reduced-Schedule Wages form. If an employee is working a reduced schedule, SL, VL, or HL hours should not be reported to Sedgwick. SL, VL, and HL are used later by the payroll processor to supplement the wages and the WC payments.
If the employee returns to full work, the payroll processor advises Sedgwick, so as not to create a TTD overpayment.
Workers' Compensation Payroll - Steps and Tools
The following steps are performed to complete Worker's Compensation payroll:
- Use the W/C Leave Bank Calculator (recommended method) or the W/C Leave Bank Calculation Sheet to convert W/C payments to:
- Hours, in a W/C Leave Bank, and
- Dollars, by which to reduce pay
Use the New! Bi-weekly & Monthly Option A or Option B Leave Balance Calculator to determine leave usage, accruals, eligibility for ESL, and UC payment owed.
Old Version:
- Option A or Option B Leave Bank Calculator (old version)
- View examples for Option A (old version) and Option B (old version)
Specific steps are required in OLPPS/OPTRS and HBS in order to process the UC payment (Campus Payroll Forms) and code leave properly. This is necessary to avoid Overpayment of Supplemental Benefits. Resources are listed below:
- If all Supplemental SL/VL/ESL is exhausted, coordinate the Contingency Fund and Application for UC Supplemental Disability.
- If TTD ends and the employee is not back to work, coordinate personal payments for Continuity of Health Plan Coverage.

Well, this is the first ever curling iron I purchased. Before this,I had Remington Straitening iron,which I totally loved & been using for last 3 years. I never had problem with it,so when I decided to get curling iron,I got Remington Ci76.
Now,in India we don't really get much of an option from which we can select the hair styling products,unless we get it from some international websites. But whatever are available,Remington is the best out of it.
Experience With Product:
Before I did my curls for the first time,I tried the iron without swathing it on,so I can get basic idea of usin... (Expand)
Flipkart delivery was timely and the product does a good job. It heats up pretty quickly and has a dial for temperature control making it easy to use. the stand is actually helpful so as to not burn any surface when kept.
I gifted this to my GF and she is very happy about this product. I cannot write about the usage as you know I am not he user of this product.
This is the first curling iron I bought and I am quiet happy with it. It heats up in a minute and it hasn't damaged my hair in any way so far so thumbs up for that! Flipkart delivered it earlier than it said it would and I'm happy with their service and also because there was a lot of bubble wrap!
One of the best curlers. Got a good deal through flipkart. Bought it for my wife, though you need to learn how to use it a first few times, but once done this is a great product. Great quality. Added plus is the storage bag which is heat proof.

October was officially National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pink ribbon themed events were in plentiful supply. I participate with many groups and organizations like most do during the month. But in the cancer community, cancer does not come once a year. It is a twenty-four hour, 365 day a year fight to strike down the dreaded disease. I chose to partner with individuals who understand that in order to beat cancer we must make cancer awareness and survivorship a part of mainstream conversation and not the color of a ribbon one month out of the year.

VICKI SMITH, Associated Press
MORGANTOWN, WV (AP) — Billionaire coal company and
resort owner Jim Justice is in a war of words with the West Virginia
Department of Environmental Protection over an illegally built dam at a
gated golf course community, a 17-foot-high structure that regulators
say presents a potentially deadly flooding hazard to hundreds of
The Beckley Register-Herald first
reported the dispute, citing a recent letter Justice sent to property
owners. He said the DEP plans to order that the Mallard Lake Dam at The
Resort at Glade Springs be raised 40 feet, along with the main access
road to the 600-home Glade Springs Village.
Justice says the
project could cost $9.2 million and could prompt his company, resort
owner Emco Glade Springs Hospitality, to transfer responsibility for the
dam and road to the Property Owners Association.
"That is a
choice of last resort for us," Justice wrote, "as we would prefer to
advance our common interest and together convince WVDEP to abandon its
current imprudent action."
The DEP says it never issued an order
to elevate the dam, nor did it estimate any costs. Rather, spokeswoman
Kathy Cosco says the DEP gave Emco multiple options last year to bring
the dam into compliance with state law. That could include raising,
lowering or removing it.
"We don't dictate to them what they should do," said Brian Long, manager of the state's Dam Safety Program.
January 2012 letter from DEP's Division of Water and Waste Management
declares the dam subject to the Dam Control and Safety Act, and orders
Emco to either apply to have it certified or to submit engineering plans
to change or remove it. The state also demanded emergency-response and
maintenance plans.
All were due in April 2012, but Long says Emco has yet to comply.
who hired his own engineers to review what his letter calls "frivolous"
DEP demands, did not return a telephone message from The Associated
His letter says that if Glade Springs were to close the
road, drivers would have to use the rear entrance, Pluto Road. Justice
contends that would mean a 30-minute delay and more traffic congestion.
The property owners' group didn't immediately return telephone or email messages.
also told the newspaper "many agencies in the state target successful
people and hinder business opportunities." He said "ridiculous, absurd
actions have driven away many good people" and deterred others from
locating here.
"Hiding behind this as a safety matter is absurd,"
he told the paper, and "trying to scare people when they know better is
morally wrong."
Cosco declined to comment on those remarks.
an estimated $1.7 billion, Justice ranks No. 292 on Forbes magazine's
list of wealthiest Americans. The magazine estimates that his personal
wealth has grown by $500 million in the last year. But his Appalachian
coal operations are struggling and business owners have filed at least
nine lawsuits since late 2011 claiming they are not being paid for work
at Justice mines. He says that's emblematic of larger industry and
economic struggles.
The DEP has requested engineering plans for
the Glade Springs dam, but on June 25, Leslie Vincent of Justice's
Southern Coal Corp. instead sent a letter proposing a plan to deal with
potential for water to come over the top.
Vincent suggested sensor
systems with mechanical or pressure triggers that trigger alarms in the
nearby guard house and at resort offices. Workers would erect flashing
warning signs and barricades to keep drivers off the road.
But in a
July response, Long deemed that insufficient. Among other things, he
said, it wouldn't protect people if power fails. He also said
overtopping can occur after dark, and motorists could unknowingly drive
into high water. An erosion channel crossing the crest could go
undetected, he said, and seepage could create sinkholes.
Long said
the dam has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, or the equivalent of
32.7 million gallons of water. That type of dam is legally limited to 6
feet in height and 50 acre-feet of volume.
It's unclear who built
the dam or when, but Long said it's more than 10 years old. The DEP
discovered and inspected it in 2008, but Cosco said further action was
delayed as the department's resources were overwhelmed by other
Since 2010, the DEP has issued 31 orders — 27 of
those requiring dam owners to submit applications for certification,
Cosco said. Sixteen were issued since January 2012.
In his letter
to property owners, Justice mocked the DEP's assertion that the dam must
be able to withstand an inundation of 27.5 inches of rain in six hours.
"Please, if this ever occurs, don't drive anywhere," he wrote. "Just start walking for the highest mountain."
But Long notes that is the Probable Maximum Precipitation standard, set not by DEP but by the National Weather Service.
"That standard is in use by dam safety programs around the country," he said.
said the DEP will continue to try to talk with Emco, but "ultimately,
down the road, if no action by the owner takes place, the state has no
choice but to take a civil action."

The Verizon and AT&T dustup is turning out to be far more entertaining than any tired old Microsoft vs. Apple campaign. After a series of scorching "there's a map for that" TV ads by Verizon mocking its competitor's spotty 3G coverage, AT&T ran to a federal judge crying "Daddy daddy daddy, that mean old man is making fun of me."
Yesterday the No. 1 cellular company issued a statement on its Web site to "set the record straight on Verizon ads." Among the rebuttals: 75 percent of the U.S. population has access to AT&T's 3G net, and 300 million can log onto its slower EDGE and GPRS offerings (though the site conveniently fails to mention the slower speeds).
[ Apple, AT&T's partner in iPhone, has garnered its share of grievances too. Get a load of Cringely's take on Steve Jobs' empire in "It's Apple's world, we just click in it" | Stay up to date on Robert X. Cringely's musings and observations with InfoWorld's Notes from the Underground newsletter. ]
As GottaBeMobile blogger Warner Crocker notes:
Touting EDGE and GPRS coverage numbers as a part of [AT&T's] strategy is, in my pea brain, akin to advertising Windows by saying you can run a DOS prompt.
AT&T is also demanding that Verizon pull its latest holiday-themed ads featuring elves [video], Elvis ("Blue Christmas"), and the Island of Misfit Toys. That last one is my favorite.
Is Verizon pushing the envelope of truthiness just a bit? Sure -- the iPhone is not a pink-spotted elephant or a jack-in-the-box named Charlie. But so does AT&T's "we've got the fastest 3G network" claim, which obscures its gaps in coverage. As they say, all is fair in love, war, and advertising.

Team Ratings
Víctor Valdés
The keeper may not have an easier evening this year, and that is by no means an exaggeration. He was not forced into one difficult save until the 80th minute, and then he came out on top.
Had a hand, with Puyol, in a mistake that almost enabled Sergio Garcia to score midway through the first half. He was composed for much of the game but came close to gifting Albin a goal at the death.
One mix-up whereby he failed to deal with a long ball which almost handed Espanyol a route back into the game at the midway point, but otherwise he was a rock. He had very little to do in the remainder of the game and was comfortable.
Jordi Alba
Pushed up early on and looked for the give-and-go with Iniesta. He supported the 28-year-old well and enabled him to drift inside at times. His explosive pace also limited the effect of Espanyol going forward.
Dani Alves
It was not quite a stand-out performance from the Brazilian but he was by no means a disappointment. He rampaged up and down the right but his delivery in the final third frequently left a lot to be desired.
An impressive evening for the midfielder. He always seemed to find space to receive the ball and picked his passes well. Scored for the second consecutive game with a relatively simple finish in the 10th minute.
Played excellently wide on the left as he tormented Javi Lopez early on. He supplied the cross for the opening goal and really set the tone for the evening. However, he failed to maintain that level in the second half.
Showed the tremendous passing ability he holds in his locker, not just the simple stuff. His distribution was quality all evening with the highlight of his performance being a measured ball up to Pedro for the third goal.
Used the ball excellently with a number of tremendous turns to keep possession for his side. Some scintillating wide play created the second goal before racing through to win a penalty for his side's fourth to cap a great night.
Tormented the Espanyol defence as he got back on the scoresheet in La Liga for the first time since August. His first may have been a somewhat fortunate deflection but his second oozed quality as he used his pace to beat the defence and dink the ball past Casilla.
L. Messi
It was not one of the Argentine's most effective evenings. He seemed to be stifled by the bodies Espanyol put behind the ball in the second half, though he slotted home his penalty with ease. Could have had a second late on but his excellent free-kick came back off the bar.
Kiko Casilla
Made a brilliant save to deny Iniesta in the 13th minute but there was little he could do to stop the Barcelona onslaught. The Blaugrana players seemed to find space at will in the Espanyol defence, leaving Casilla close to helpless.
H. Moreno
It was a shocking opening 30 minutes for the Espanyol defender, as the Mexican not only failed to react to seeing Xavi in space in the area when he slid in the opener, but was also caught idle as Pedro grabbed his second.
Javi López
The full-back was beaten time and again as he was left to fend for himself. He failed to close Iniesta down quick enough ahead of the first goal and he was then skinned by Fabregas in the build-up to the second.
A torrid night for the full-back as he offered little resistance up against Pedro and Dani Alves. He was beaten far too easily and left plenty of space in behind. He offered no support to Simao going forward either.
D. Colotto
The Argentine made a number of decent clearances which showed an ability to read the game, but he was caught out of position at some costly moments.
J. Forlín
Struggled to deal with the crisp passing in Barcelona's midfield as they moved the ball past him at every opportunity. He was perhaps unfortunate that his wayward interception led to the penalty which Messi tucked away.
The Portuguese was forced to do a lot more defending than he would have liked as Espanyol put 10 men behind the ball for much of the game. He initiated a couple of decent counter-attacks but was ultimately left a spectator.
Joan Verdú
Was unable to play as high up the pitch as he would have liked and was therefore below standard. Whenever he received the ball it was not in his most desired areas which led to him becoming increasingly frustrated.
Raúl Baena
Failed to get anywhere near the ball in midfield as Barcelona ran the show for the full 90 minutes. He was completely overrun before being withdrawn on the hour mark.
Víctor Sánchez
Offered very little in attack on the right but did not do much more defensively. He left Javi Lopez isolated all too often and that proved to have a devastating impact.
Sergio García
He may have grabbed a great goal against Real Madrid earlier in the season, but he failed to show the same composure as he blasted a fantastic opportunity over the bar in the 23rd minute. Nevertheless he worked hard and his hold-up play provided some relief for his defence.
J. Albín
Really should have got a goal for his side when he latched onto a short back pass from Pique. However, he lacked to composure to slot past Valdes.
Replaced Baena on the hour mark but did not offer much more steel to the centre of midfield.
C. Stuani
Brought on for Verdu in the 63rd minute but the Uruguayan did not see enough of the ball to test the Barcelona defence.

Some Drink Pink
Prologue: "There's only one word to remember if you are thinking of serving a pink wine to a serious wine drinking crowd: DON'T!"
...by Jack Mingo in his "The Wannabe Guide to Wine"
The Rest of the Story: OK, so connoisseurs don't drink a pink wine like White Zinfandel, but SOMEBODY does. Last year California White Zinfandel sales exceeded the connoisseurs' favorite, Cabernet Sauvignon, by 18 million cases to 10 million.
What style of White Zinfandel is most popular? The novices in my classes want a tad of sweetness with some light berry flavors. They want a distinct pink, not an orange-pink...and they want the price to be well under $8. Here's one they liked a lot.
Barefoot "White Zin"
Postscript: One suspects Jack Mingo is somewhat of a connoisseur himself. For example, on the proper service of wine he advises that it takes a bit more than using glasses that all have the same picture of Snoopy on their sides. To order the $9.95 book, phone (510) 595-0595.

Flames, leaping from a valley home, made for some tense moments Sunday morning for fire crews on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
The fire burned out of control, and it may have had something to do with what was inside one of those mobile homes.
People say they heard one explosion after another while they waited for firefighters to arrive.
The Salt River Fire Chief called this fire ferocious.
Crews responded within minutes of receiving 911 calls but already the fire had spread, engulfing a total of three homes.
The explosions could be heard loud and clear, one after another, the sirens deafening. Home video shot by a resident of the Shadow Mountain Village Trailer Park is terrifying to watch.
"The explosions, we just kept hearing a lot of pops -- a lot of pop-pops," said Linda Whittle.
The fire broke out around 7:30 a.m. By the time firefighters arrived it had destroyed three homes.
The one on the corner is barely recognizable.
"He's a handyman so there are a lot of chemicals in there and you can tell every time it would hit a chemical it would just flare up," said resident Didi Vernam. "The flames they kept coming up and going down."
The Salt River Fire chief kept crews out here throughout the morning as a precaution even after the flames were put out. That's because there was concern there were still flammable materials inside one of the trailers.
"The containment issue has to do with the home of origin and it has to do with its collapse, so we can't put anybody inside there, so we're in a defensive mode for that particular structure. That just takes us time," said Fire Chief David Bunce.
"The smoke was just horrible, it was just horrible and I said whoever's house it is, it's gone," said Ruthe Long.
Dozens of neighbors were evacuated because of the blaze. Many lost power. But they're all grateful the flames didn't do even more damage.
"It just bothers me that my neighbors are in this situation."
Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix and Mesa Fire departments assisted.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The good news is no one was hurt.

The Washington Examiner takes a look how Obamacare could impact your food choices.
When (many) Dems find that they can't win an argument on the merit of their premises, they resort to their standard litany of 'ists' and 'isms.' In this case, Harry Reid actually tries to make the case that if you don't agree with their power grab at 1/6th of the economy and the dismantling of the best medical system on the planet, you're no better than those (Democrat) House and Senate members who voted against the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Or, you're just like the people who tried to keep women from having equal rights and the vote. Racist, sexist, ageist, heterosexist, thisist, thatist, theotherist … whatever 'ist' or 'ism' they can try and stick to you, they're completely happy to do it.
Reid's comments, of course, betray his fundamental and woeful misunderstanding of the concept of rights. He actually tries to conflate the alleged "right" to medical care to the same status as the right to equal treatment of individuals, regardless of their gender or skin color. Reid needs to go back and do a bit of research and reading into the difference between negative and positive rights. As I have written in this blog previously,
Simply put, no such right exists because, for it to exist, there must be a corresponding responsibility on the part of another/others to provide the rights holder with that medical care. Additionally, the rights holders have the moral base from which they can demand that treatment and – if need be – forcibly extract the means of providing that treatment from others. …
Don't fall for the flawed logic that underlies positive rights theories. That 'logic' always dead ends in the state or the alleged rights holder deciding – for you – how much, when, and why. Occasionally they will revert to talk of "autonomy" and claim that infringing on your rights is quite alright, so long as you are allowed to maintain some airy concept of autonomy. However, their defense of positive rights does not remove the requirement of some other person or power defining the level of acceptable level of rights infringement. That other person or power makes the choice of how much or how little autonomy you are allowed to posses and then tells you to be happy that they deigned to give you that much.
When the premises for autonomy fail, arguments will typically revert to ad hominems and claims that you are cold-hearted and uncaring for actually daring to claim rights to your private property, your life and your work.
The Heritage Foundation's Foundry blog has posted a screen shot from Obama's OFA website (www.barackobama.com). I've reposted the screenshot at the bottom of this post.*
Apparently Obama and the campaign arm of the White House (i.e., OFA) are trying to designate 9/11 as "Patriot Day .. in memory of the nearly three thousand who died in the 9/11 attacks." So far that doesn't sound too bad, right? How could commemorating 9/11 be a bad thing?
One small problem is that they are actually not commemorating 9/11. They're planning a day of coordinated Castroturf action in which all their followers make at least two calls into their U.S. Senator's office and demand that they vote for government run health care.
So 9/11 is no longer about remembering the attacks on American soil. It is no longer about the thousands of lives taken by islamist terrorists. It's no longer a national day of mourning. For Obama and the staff at BarackObama.com, 9/11 is now about the much higher calling of forcing socialized health care and a massive new government bureaucracy into the lives of Americans. And if Obama and OFA need to invoke the memory of the 3,000 people who died on 9/11 as a means of winning a political battle, they're apparently all for it. (After all one should never waste a good crisis, right?)
As offensive as misappropriating 9/11 for political gains may be, it isn't enough for OFA. Nope, 9/11 can now also be used as a means to attack and malign the majority of average, every day Americans. As part of the text of their post, they actually state that those who disagree with the Obamacare plan are "our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists" who are "subverting the American Democratic Process." So they see those attending the Tea Party gatherings as morally equivalent to the al Qaeda attackers who flew the planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Furthermore, to the people at OFA, a gathering of ostensibly free people practicing their right "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" is "subverting the Democratic Process."
In their own words, for those who think I'm making this up.
All 50 states are coordinating in this — as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propoganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.
As I noted in the post on Obama advisor, Van Jones, calling Republicans a**holes. and other posts where Obama tells his detractors to "get out of the way" so he can socialize health care without interruptions, we are getting an increasingly clear picture of the Democrat concept of civility and rational discourse.
If you agree with them and bow to their every whim and desire, you're reasonable and bi-partisan. If you dare to question their plans, you're an a**hole, a Nazi, un-American, etc. and you need to "get out of the way."
Here's a screen shot of the OFA post.
Click on the screenshot to open a larger version
* Of course, once the post was found out by the Heritage Foundation and others, the OFA organization quickly pulled it.
Update: Robert Moon @ the examiner.com provides more insight into this misappropriation of 9/11 and the attack on the majority of American citizens. He also provides an extensive list of this thin-skinned administration's other attempts to malign and attack anyone who dares disagree with "the One."
This video should be a wake up call for anyone who is seriously pushing the Obamacare, single-payer option. I endured the Canadian health care system for most of my life and have posted on what life under this system is like several times before.
Essentially, the care you get is mediocre to OK, when you can get it. The remainder of the time, you are being told by triage/emergency room/walk-in/urgent care doctors and nurses that you need to wait and that you can't have this test or that test.
All the supporters of single-payer that I've talked to think that if they can just get "coverage," everything will be coming up flowers and sunshine, but the reality of socialized health care is they tell you you're "covered," but then your coverage doesn't mean a thing because you can't get treatment, can't find a doctor, and get stuck on interminable waiting lines.
Oh yeah … don't forget the best part. It's going to cost you somewhere between 35% – 60% of your earnings to help cover the bill for this "free" health care.
Take it from one who has survived socialized health care for about 30 years, YOU DON'T WANT IT!!
Nod to Hot Air
From the lips of the Obamessiah himself,
Mr. Obama pushed back on people who say he is overtaxing the nation, saying his tax increases on families earning $250,000 or more a year are reverting to the tax system under former President Bill Clinton. The president added he will pay higher taxes himself as a result.
"These folks can afford it. They were rich back in the '90s," he said. "It's not like suddenly they're going to have to go to the poorhouse. But what that does is it allows us to pay for health care reform for a lot of people."
Going after a line of attack Republicans have used against him, Mr. Obama insisted, "I don't think that's unreasonable. I don't think that's socialism.
He may not think its socialism (or he may not want to openly admit it), but his policies from the word go have all advocated, or moved the country toward, the state ownership and control of the means of production and the delivery of services. That's textbook socialism.
Then, to make it worse, he's throwing in a healthy dose of class warfare to try and make it more palatable for people to demand that their neighbors cover the costs of their health care, mortgages, etc.
It's good to see that some in the Canadian health care establishment are willing to recognize just how horrible socialist health care provision in Canada has become.
The natural next step for Canada's health system is allowing more private delivery, which will give patients more choice, and better access to care, the new president of the Canadian Medical Association says.
"My whole career has been about resolving access issues. This is my battle horse," said Robert Ouellet, who takes over Wednesday as president of the CMA.
"Private delivery is an accepted practice everywhere in the world and it's time Canada accepted this reality."
I have written about the wait lists and cues in several posts on this blog and dozens of other places as well (and yes, my Mom is still waiting for that hip replacement 3.5 yrs and counting). Others are agreeing and reporting that people are literally dying on the wait lists.
The comments after the article are equally interesting. Many Canadians are clinging to the silly belief that the reason the wait lists are so long is because the government refuses to fund health care – despite the fact that approximately 10% of Canadian GDP goes to health care spending. They also add in the note that wait lists are also too long because the doctor to patient ratio is too low. Surprise!!! When you restrict the ability of doctors to charge a reasonable fee for their time and effort and to practice in the area they want, they move to the U.S. where they can make a decent living. No wonder the ratio is weighted so heavily toward patients in a socialist system.
One hopes that elected officials listen to people like Ouellet and the millions of Canadians who are being forced to choose between waiting for years or traveling to another country for necessary treatments.
Via Hot Air and Bryan, we can hear Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack openly state that the expansion of the S-CHIP program was a Democrat scheme to bring about fully socialized health care.
"I think there is going to be a commitment to universal coverage. I don't think it's necessarily going to be a sector by sector process. I think you either need to go in whole hog or not. We tried to sort of squeeze the middle here with doing children and doing seniors, and trying to squeeze it. If anything happens, it would more likely look something like this: you would extend eligibility for children from 200% of poverty to 300% of poverty, and create resources to insure the parents of those children."
You heard it, straight from the trojan horses mouth.
I've been there and done that, growing up in Canada folks, you don't want what they're offering. Trust me. An eighteen month wait for basic hernia operation just isn't worth it.

Assessing The Progress Of The Podiatric Profession
- Lawrence Fallat DPM FACFAS
- 3261 reads
- 1 comments
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the typical surgical procedures performed by podiatrists were bunionectomies, digital arthroplasties, heel spurs and neuroma excisions. Few did rearfoot surgery and even fewer did trauma. When it came to fixation, podiatrists used K-wires and monofilament wire. Podiatrists did not use bone screws or plates.
Research in podiatry was almost nonexistent. The typical residency was one year in duration and the resident got whatever he or she could from the experience. There was no standardization of training. The only way a podiatrist could get into an emergency room was as a patient. We were not very well accepted by the medical community.
However, there were a few podiatrists that pushed the envelope. They did not let the criticisms of the medical community deter them. They were motivated and were always looking for a better procedure or treatment that would benefit their patients.
These folks included John Buckholz, DPM, Dalton McGlamry, DPM, Lowell Weil Sr., DPM, Allen Jacobs, DPM, and Guido Laporta, DPM. Harry Vogler, DPM, was the first podiatrist to take a course on internal fixation but he had to take a veterinary course because the allopathic programs were not open to podiatry. The motivation and philosophies of these doctors were passed on to their residents and gradually the quest for knowledge spread through our profession.
The changes in podiatry in the last 30 years have been remarkable. Almost all podiatry residencies are three years in duration and they are becoming standardized. Podiatrists conduct and publish original research, lecture at allopathic meetings, travel around the world doing humanitarian medical missions and write textbooks.
Look at the types of surgeries we perform today. We still do forefoot surgery but we also commonly perform rearfoot reconstructive and ankle surgery, and do it very well. Our scope of practice continues to develop. Many of us now perform our own history and physicals for hospital outpatient surgery.
Where is our profession going? I feel we will continue to provide specialized training for every member of our profession and improve the quality of care for our patients. Are we following the path that osteopaths took on their way to becoming integrated with allopathic physicians? Only time will tell.
It is fantastic that Podiatry has progressed tremendously over the years in the US. However, the world is becoming a smaller place, why is the US so insular and protective of your own profession. Many countries are crying out for development of their own podiatry professions with the need to advance into surgery. Why can't the US with your gold standard of podiatric practice assist & develop the profession in other nations, so that the profession can grow and be standardised internationally. This would really raise our profile and attract more people into the profession and allow for even greater advancement.

PARIS (Reuters) - Renault-Nissan
Ghosn had said last month he expected final government approval for the plant by the end of the year.
"Renault already has a plan for China, which is ready, and currently being negotiated with the Chinese government, and I hope we will have all agreements before the summer," Ghosn told French radio Europe 1.
He added that French President Francois Hollande's visit to China this week would help the carmaker over the administrative hurdles.

Definition of manucode in English:
manucodeLine breaks: manu|code
Pronunciation: /ˈmanjʊkəʊd /
A bird of paradise of which the male and female have similar blue-black plumage and breed as stable pairs.
- Genus Manucodia, family Paradisaeidae: five species
More example sentences
- On the island of New Guinea lives a glossy, bluish black bird called the trumpet manucode (Manucodia keraudrenii).
- Nonetheless, birds with a really extreme elongation, such as the trumpet manucode, may have so much tracheal dead space that it does cause a problem, and in fact, these birds do not migrate and are reported to be somewhat sluggish.
- Manucodes are of considerable interest within the Paradisaeidae because the two species that have been studied are monogamous and non-territorial.
mid 19th century: from French, from modern Latin manucodiata (used in the same sense from the mid 16th to 18th cents), from Malay manuk dewata 'bird of the gods'.

There was national attention on the LSU Tigers and their fan base in Baton Rouge Friday morning.
HLN's "Rivalry Express" tour broadcasted live from Walk-On's on Burbank Road to preview the LSU-Auburn matchup.
The Capital City is the first of eight stops on the tour of college football rivalries. Host Robin Meade said the Tigers have set the bar high.
"I kind of feel sorry for the next seven schools that we're going to because Baton Rouge did such a good job that it's going to be hard to live up to; it really is," Meade explained. "Gosh, we had, well, the tiger here, but we had the band and the dancers and the painted posse. I think it just really shows a legacy and a heritage of spirit here in town."
Kickoff for the game is Saturday at 6:45 p.m. It airs nationally on ESPN.

After being pulled from each of his last two starts, Carey Price will begin Montreal's next game on the bench as Canadiens face the Penguins on Wednesday.
The club announced on Tuesday that Peter Budaj would start against Pittsburgh.
Price was pulled on Saturday after allowing three goals on four shots in Toronto. On Monday against the Flyers, he gave up two goals on his first five shots, and was pulled in favour of Budaj at the end of the second period after allowing six goals on 29 shots in total.
"Since we clinched, our intensity and concentration level, our attention to detail and our work ethic, have fallen a lot," said Canadiens' coach Michel Therrien on Monday night. "And you see the results.
"It's a game of pride. You have to come to the rink ready to play. That's what we were not doing the last two games. There's no work ethic there right now. It's disappointing."
In 11 games played this season, Budaj has a 7-1-1 record with a 2.19 goals-against-average and a .915 save-percentage.

back to the masamoto. anybody know if its monosteel or not?
From the pics it certainly appears that it is zen-ko/monosteel.
Your response and analysis assumes a number of things. First, a grind is not consistent from tip to heel. So, you may see convexity somewhere along the face of the blade, but at certain places, there may be more convexity or less convexity, and the grind may be higher along the face of the blade at the heel versus the tip. Second, how you place the ruler along the face of the blade matters. Are you placing it at the spine or the flattest area of the face of the blade? Third, you assume that my KS is the same as yours.
I've done your ruler test at the heel, at the middle of the blade and the tip of the blade; I actually used both a hand held level and ruler, with the level and ruler flush with the spine and the flattest portion of the face of the blade on both sides of the blade. On MY KS, there is a little convexity on the right side of the face of the blade; the convexity at the heel only goes from the edge to about 1.7 centimeters up from the edge.
The left side is close to flat ground, but not quite flat. It is definitely not as clearly asymmetrically ground in my experience as other knives I own or have used, e.g., the CarboNext which has a very asymmetric grind, or as convexed as others, e.g., my Gesshin Ginga wa-gyuto has a more pronounced convex grind. In fact, at the heel, about 1.7 cm from the edge, the grind goes from flat to a slight taper on both sides of the knife to the edge. The grind is a little more noticeable on the right side, but only slightly.
So, next time, before you make conclusions about my knife, you'll probably want to limit your opinions to yours. Because some of your assumptions about my knife are wrong.

As he boogies his way towards his 40th year as a recording artist in 2014, guitarist George Thorogood said no special plans were yet in place to celebrate the anniversary.
"Man, I just want to get there first," laughed the blues-rocker who has kept the trademark Bo Diddley beat alive and well all these years on such hits as "Bad To The Bone," "Move It On Over" and "I Drink Alone." Those songs are sure to be heard Sunday at Star Plaza Theatre when Thorogood's current world tour brings his infamous band The Destroyers back to the region for the first time since 2010.
"It's one of my favorite places to play. I kept saying we have GOTTA go back (to Star Plaza)," said Thorogood. "The buzz there is just incredible. They've turned it into a four-star venue. The fans can hear everything and see everything. Sound there is great, sight wise it's great from anywhere in the place, and the people are great."
When last visiting the Merrillville concert hall, Thorogood had just released his "Dirty Dozen" album, a split of six new songs and six re-recorded fan favorites. This time around, Thorogood is promoting "2120 South Michigan Avenue," a salute to the legendary songs and artists of Chicago's landmark Chess Records. The title track is a remake of the Rolling Stones' early '60s instrumental recorded at the famous address for which it is named, the location of the original Chess Recording Studio that was home to the likes of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley and Etta James, among other blues legends.
With the exception of one inspired original tune "Willie Dixon's Gone," honoring the late Chess artist, house producer and studio bass player, "2120 South Michigan Avenue" is an album of inspired and energized remakes. This collection, which returns Thorogood to the music he cut his teeth on, was a joint venture between the artist, Capitol Records and legendary blues producer Tom Hambridge.
"Capitol asked me to do this and I thought it was a great idea," said Thorogood. "The whole thing hinged on Tom being on board to produce it," he said.
"I was a big fan of people like the Rolling Stones, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and John Hammond," said Thorogood of how he became so steeped in the blues and most notably the Chess Records brand of blues as a young man. "I was a fan of the Stones before they recorded 'Satisfaction,' when they were mostly covering old blues tunes I had never heard by these artists out of Chicago. Then I saw Howlin' Wolf on (the old television music program) 'Shindig' performing with the Stones, started looking into this (Chess) music and I found it was music I could play."
The rawness and simplicity of the Chicago blues sound pioneered at Chess drew the young guitarist like a moth to a flame. "Very few people can play the blues like B.B. King, Little Walter or Elvin Bishop, and I knew I wasn't one of them. But playing a Bo Diddley guitar chord and doing Howlin' Wolf's voice is something I could do, so it gave me a chance," continued Thorogood. "At that time, the big thing in music was Clapton, Hendrix, Zeppelin and The Who. There was no way I was ever gonna get close to doing anything like those guys were doing, and no way I was going to write the kind of material Neil Young or Joni Mitchell do. That wasn't realistic for me, but I knew I could sing dirty and play bad slide guitar."
Thorogood used a baseball strategy from his early days as a ball player in Delaware, while playing second base in the Roberto Clemente semi-pro league. "You go with your strengths and with what you know you can do. If you're not Willie Mays and able to hit it out of the park, you bunt and just hope for the best, so that's what I did. I just broke everything down to what was realistic for me and here I am today."
While the dyed-in-the-wool Mets fan still loves a good ball game, Thorogood has no regrets of not pursuing a career on the baseball diamond. "If you go to Oslo, Norway and say 'Yogi Berra' to someone on the street they say 'Who?' If you say 'Bad To The Bone,' they say 'George Thorogood', so no regrets!"

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Toro Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 11 through 20 of 26 reviews
I actually had the Super Fuerte Maduro Pressed. All I can say is GAHDDAHMN! The only thing I can compare it to is a Gurkha Regent Torpedo (pressed). The flavor was delicious, from start to band-finish. Rich, choclatey, nugatey, creamy, voliminous smoke. I saw people complaining about draw/construction. Did not notice ANY flaws in either category. If you have a 70/70 humi then it will draw like heaven (punched) and burn evenly; 2 inches of ash before my dog bumped it off. BUY THIS CIGAR. (b4 they sell out, increase price, or stop making them)!Brian in Miami September 4, 2008
"Good Smoke"
Surprisingly good for the price....Like it !FT in Florida August 24, 2008
"Deal or No Deal"
I tried these a year or so ago and I was very pleased with the construction and taste. I picked up a couple of bundles on auction and was really looking forward to sharing a great cigar with me friends. Glad I tried them before I shared. At first glance it looks well made with a nice bouquet. On first light nice flavor, great taste. Half way burns into limbs, sticks or whatever, scoops, harsh taste and then goes out. Out of the 10 I have tried all had to re-lit at least 6 to 7 times and I have filled my torch lighter twice. Now the remaining 40 are just wasting space in my humidor. To bad for RP, as it seems he has lost caring about what is being sold and the quality of what has his name on it. It seems most of the RP line is slipping. Bring back the good old days RP. Take care of your customers.Marcstar in California August 17, 2008
"Fantastic cigar for the price"
What a great cigar! Even better with a little time on them. Smooth with great taste.Mike S. in Coloma Mi June 26, 2008
"a great cigar with a whole lot of flavor."
INDIAN TABAC IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE CIGARS AROUND.Barry Pagano in IL April 25, 2008
"For the price, Indian Tobac is worth buying!"
For the price, Indian Tobac is worth buying!Ari in Monsey, N.Y. July 24, 2007
"Not worth the trouble"
First impression is what a beautiful & great smelling cigar. Not so fast. After lighting, aroma is great, but taste is so-so, and the burn very uneven. Impossible to keep lit. Had a 5-pack & all burned the same.Ben K in Monroe,LA December 29, 2006
I would very much like to review this cigar, but I got a double hernia trying to extract some smoke from this lemon. Without a doubt the poorest drawing cigar that I have ever had the displeasure of smoking. Just glad that I didn't give it to a friend... I would have made an enemy for lifeFrederick R. Heitman in NC December 11, 2006
"Rebuttal in defense of Indian Tabac SF"
An excellent cigar that offers tons of smoke, chocolate and spice tastes, and a burn that is even, if worked properly, (meaning...that's all part of the cigar smoker's experience now isn't it?) If it canoes, you're smoking the damn thing too fast...everybody knows that! As for the "Worst Cigar Ever", why don't you cut back on your humidity a bit....or buy a better humidor...sounds like you've gottem swollen with moisture !!!!Joe in NOLA September 26, 2006
Wow! This is my favorite smoke, by far. I received one of these in a sampler of maduros and was sold within three puffs. The wrapper is dark and oily and looks delicious, and the pre-lit aroma smells of chocolate and coffee - just as you expect from a good maduro. Upon lighting, the burn is good and the ash is solid and a light gray. The construction is a little inconsistent, requiring an occasional correction on some sticks. Once this baby warms up, the flavor is incredible. Slightly sweet with the same flavors as its pre-lit aroma. For the money, this cigar is one that I will stock my humidor with for a long time. Every maduro lover should try one!Matt Stanger in New Jersey June 27, 2006

I will admit, I thought long and hard before spending $80 on this item. HOWEVER, this product is amazing KUDOS Kenmore!! I have a cat, and along with that is litter tracking, cat hair etc. Dragging the big canister vacuum out daily can be a pain! With this hand vacuum you can attach the wands and use the floor tool to clean tile and wood floors effortlessly. Attach the power nozzle and vacuum carpeting, with out havign to drag out the big vacuum every time! Also it leaves carpeting clean unlike most hand/lighweight vacuums that just grind the dirt deeper into the carpet. This actually sucks it up! You can use the power mate jr to vacuum furniture. Seriously this little "gadget" has so many uses and works so well, you will not be dissapointed. If you own a Kenmore Canister Vacuum Cleaner, buy this item. Buying a new Kenmore Canister ? Add this to your purchase!

I like it as a powerful hand vacuum that doesn't run out of battery power. But the first time I fired it up I was surprised by how noisy it was. I also thought the nozzle was small where it sucks in the dirt.

great second vac for quick jobs. A little noisy but it works great.

Concert Vault presents this exclusive 180-gram vinyl edition of the Miles Davis Quintet at the 1967 Newport Jazz Festival. Widely considered one of the most important musicians of the 20th century, Miles Davis' impact on jazz cannot be overstated. A composer of countless tunes that have become part of the jazz canon, he also recorded the best-selling jazz album of all time, "Kind of Blue". By 1967, Miles had settled into a near-telepathic groove with his second great quintet, consisting of pianist Herbie Hancock, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams.
Through two and a half years of touring and recording, this ensemble had forged a rare, unprecedented chemistry where elements of free jazz playing were gradually introduced into their adventurous hard bop. By the time of this July 2, 1967 Newport appearance, they were performing magic together on the bandstand.
1. Introduction
2. Gingerbread Boy/Footprints
3. 'Round Midnight
4. So What/The Theme
The ultimate format of music listening. Our collection of vinyl includes never-before-released Concert Vault concerts and Daytrotter sessions. In addition, our used vinyl comes from famed rock photographer Joe Sia's personal collection. Used vinyl is available in limited quantities and has been previously listened to and loved.

ColorTherapy: Ruthless People
I began watching Ruthless People to find the image of a red, blue and yellow chair that existed in my mind as a distant memory. What I found instead was an explosion of grids, triangles, squiggles, turquoise and black ca. 1985 that burst off the screen. What a hoot…
As the film opens, Barbara Stone (Bette Midler) has been kidnapped. Her husband Sam (Danny DeVito) refuses the ransom, as he was going to snuff her out himself to be with his mistress. The film is set in Los Angeles, and the house they live in is an enormous, overwrought bauble in the hills. All of my images are taken from the second scene, as Sam capers through the house looking for Barbara with a hand full of chloroform. This gives us the perfect opportunity to pan through the house with him and revel in a very specific time capsule.
The décor indicates a very broad personality—that's our Bette—and takes it's cues from Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis Group. It contains hard geometries, primary colors and the most curves in furniture since Mid-Century Modern. It's a brash and glitzy look for a brash and glitzy era, and also indicates a Nouveau Riche sensibility, judging from the characters. We may conclude that this is Barbara's domain entirely as the one "normal" room in the house is Sam's study, a fortress of solitude amid all the other chaos.
I think there are several palettes one might associate w/ the 80s, including the aforementioned red/blue/yellow color triad à la Piet Modrian. In watching this film, there's another palette I'm remembering now too—it's the coral/turquoise combination, which I suspect was 80s nostalgia for the 50s. That also means we're due for a wave of Naughties nostalgia for 80s nostalgia for the 50s. But count me out of that one.
At this point I'll let pictures speak louder than words. This type of design usually makes my teeth hurt, but dig further and I'd like to suggest that it's well done. For the kind of people that like that kind of thing, that's the thing they like. Let's call them "ruthless decorators."

hah.. i love this movie.. makes me laugh everytime i see them in the house, it's soo overdone! i agree with you.. please no more coral and turquoise. *shudder*
oh I remember when post-modernism was all the rage!
was walking down the street recently in Turin, and found a store selling all the best vintage Italian pieces! I am sure it will be making a comeback in a few years...
Sottsass, R.I.P. ...but aside from Kuramata, I could do without Memphis.
The prize ribbons over the vanity... GENIUS.
I had a whole stack of Metropolitan Homes (they're at my parents' now) from the 80s. I'm getting such a flashback!

How can design-driven and vocational education improve our schools and communities? Join our live Q&A on Feb 5th at 3PM
In 2009, author and TED speaker Emily Pilloton moved to Bertie County, North Carolina — the poorest county in the state with a population of just 20,000. There she and her partner Matthew Miller launched Studio H, a design/build program aimed to inspire creativity in high school kids.
Through the eyes of her students, Pilloton tells the story of the group's hopes, failures, triumphs, and the power of design-driven education. According to Pilloton, we can dramatically revamp vocational education and build the change we wish to see in the world. Ultimately her students were given the key to the city by their mayor for initiating, designing, and building three public chicken coops and a 2000-square-foot public farmer's market.

Feb 5 2013: A good number of them did enroll in a 2- or 4-year college program, which is awesome. Most of those students are the first in their families to go to college. Kerron is at NC State studying computer engineering. Stevie, who was instrumental in the final design of the farmers market, is also at NC State studying agriculture. Others are employed locally. I still talk to many of them and miss them all. Recently one of my students posted a page of his Studio H sketchbook on Facebook - it was amazing to see where we started, and how far they have come, and how we've all been changed because of the year we spent together.

Once a year I take on something massive. Intellectual penance for past transgressions. In high school I refused to read anything over 400 pages. Crime and Punishment was longer than 400 pages. I stopped on the 400th page. "It's mostly Punishment," I said to one of my dad's friends. His reply was something along the lines of, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"I am a fucking moron," is, I hope, what I said in response.
The massive works of the last few years have served me very, very well. I've already got next year's picked out, and though I haven't started reading it, I've been swooping down to pick it over here and there, stalking it like some kind of goddamned buzzard. The book that started it all, a book my brother lent me sophomore year of college, cost me my day's budget to mail back to him. I know now what he knew then. Massive books are property. A piece of the earth entrusted to us.
This winter I wended my way through the Paul Klee Notebooks. All I wanted was a good book on Klee. But when I searched for "paul klee book" (like a neanderthal), the Paul Klee Notebooks Wikipedia link appeared. The entry contains this statement:
These works are considered so important for understanding modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo's A Treatise on Painting had for the Renaissance; Herbert Read called the collection "the most complete presentation of the principles of design ever made by a modern artist – it constitutes the Principia Aesthetica of a new era of art, in which Klee occupies a position comparable to Newton's in the realm of physics."
After reading this, how can any reasonably curious person go another minute without picking these up? Well, the two volumes total well over a thousand pages and will set you back $800.
Which is, well, a fucking flight somewhere. So I read them at the library. As far as I can tell, there are two copies on the east coast - one at the Philadelphia Library and one at the NYPL. In both places they are on reserve. I spent three weeks of December in Philadelphia and started it there. I continued it here. It is not allowed out of the Art & Architecture wing. So that's where I spent a few winter mornings each week. On Saturday mornings, there are beautiful women in the Art & Architecture Room. Who knew.
What else didn't I know? Anything about drawing, painting, or graphic design. This book held my hand through the construction of complex images from base elements to final expressions. For having taken these on, I am ever-so-slightly-probably imperceptibly-maybe not really a tad bit more intelligent.
I could talk for hours about these books, but let's say that you come to books and blog posts for utility. For the take-away. Well, I'll try my best. You know that argument that you often hear in the modern/contemporary wings of major museums? "A child could do this!" "I could do this!" "This is just a bunch of squiggly lines!" In Vol. 1, Klee doesn't set out to prove how, in all honesty, you couldn't actually do this. He shows you how you could. It takes him 500 pages but he shows you, step by step, how to create tension out of lines interwoven, emotion out of shapes contorted, uncertainty and faith out of colors juxtaposed. The culmination of line, form, shape, shading, and arrangement into a pictorial whole dominates the first volume. And since the notebooks are Bauhaus lecture notes, the instructor is free from doubt: his students are capable of exactly the same expressions he describes. Klee uses only his own artwork in the Notebooks. He doesn't say, "This is how Rembrandt pulled this off," he says, "And this is how you take this one step further."
Thus, in the same way that Mark Twain can't teach you how to tell stories, even if you memorize "How to Tell a Story," Klee can't teach you how to create modern art. But he can provide the blueprint for the impulse that leads to its creation. Which is thrilling, if even in a vicarious sense.
Anyway, that's the first volume. The second volume is worth discussing, at length, but I will save that for some other time.

Lots of politicians, in both parties, talk about lifting more Maine families out of poverty and into lives filled with steady work and reliable health care coverage. Many though, don't have Troy Jackson's intimate experience with what it means for families when those things are out of reach. Jackson, who's a logger by trade and the majority leader of the Maine Senate, is running against Emily Cain in the Democratic Primary in Maine's 2nd Congressional District. His campaign is the latest chapter in the career of an unlikely politician, known for his willingess to take on powerful opponents on behalf of Maine's most vulnerable citizens.
Maine has a reputation for sending trail blazing female politicians to Washington. Two of those women, Republican Sens. Margaret Chase Smith and Olympia Snowe, first entered national politics by winning election to Maine's 2nd Congressional District. This fall, another promising female politician from Maine hopes to take this same route. In her 10 years in Augusta, Democratic state Sen. Emily Cain has risen quickly through the leadership ranks.
This year two well-known Maine Republicans are vying for the nomination to represent Maine's vast 2nd District in Congress. It's the seat currently held by Democrat Mike Michaud, who is running for governor. But former state Senate President Kevin Raye and former state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin have different styles, different priorities, and different reasons for entering the race. Poliquin says he's running so that he can help the next generation.
As incumbent Democratic Congressman Mike Michaud departs his 2nd District seat to run for governor, he's opened the door for a host of candidates from both parties who are hoping to be sent to Washington. As Jennifer Mitchell reports, one of them is former state Senate President Kevin Raye, who is making his third bid for Congress.
