Jobseeker's Benefit is a weekly payment from the Department of Social
Protection (DSP) to people who are out of work and are covered by social
insurance (PRSI). Jobseeker's Benefit used to be called Unemployment
Benefit (the name of the payment changed in 2006). If you don't qualify for
Jobseeker's Benefit you may qualify for Jobseeker's Allowance.
You can use a new Benefit
of Work Ready Reckoner from the Department of Social Protection to help you
assess out the financial consequences of taking up full-time work. The Reckoner
works out the total amount you would receive on taking up full-time work
(including any Family Income Supplement) and compares this to what you are
getting in jobseeker payments (including Rent Supplement).
People over 65 who are claiming Jobseeker's Benefit (JB), and who have at
least 156 PRSI contributions, can continue to receive JB until their 66th
birthday even if their claim is due to end before that date. This special
provision extends the duration of JB for people aged 65 and over and aims to
support the transition of older workers from the labour force into
The Department of Social Protection is putting new administrative provisions
in place to ease the transition from the labour force into retirement.
From 1 January 2014, if you are claiming Jobseeker's Benefit
or Allowance and are aged 62 or over, the following will apply:
In addition, most jobseekers aged 62 or over will be placed on a yearly
signing arrangement with their local social welfare office (this means that
they do not need to sign on regularly) and most will be transferred to
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) payments so payment can be made directly into
their bank account. Certain categories of older jobseekers may be required to
engage more frequently with their local social welfare office. For example,
casual jobseekers of 62 and older must continue to submit weekly dockets of
their work patterns.
Note that to qualify for either Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance you must
be genuinely seeking work and be available for full-time employment and these
conditions will continue to apply to older jobseekers.
Intreo is a new
service from the Department of Social Protection which will provide a
single point of contact for all employment and income supports. Currently
Intreo is available in 43 Department of Social Protection offices. More Intreo
centres are due to open during 2014. Details of new locations will be published
on welfare.ie.
To qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit you must:
To get Jobseeker's Benefit you must be unemployed or have lost at least one
day's employment and as a result be unemployed for at least 4 days out of 7
days. You may continue to get Jobseeker's Benefit if you can only find
part-time or casual work.
Where a Jobseeker's Benefit recipient is working for part of a week, their
entitlement will be based on a 5-day payment week. This means that for each day
that a person is employed, 1/5th of the normal rate of Jobseeker's Benefit is
deducted. If they get part-time work for 2 days, they will get 3/5ths of the
normal Jobseeker's Benefit for that week and if they get part-time work for 3
days they will get 2/5ths of the normal rate of Jobseeker's Benefit for the
week. This
change was implemented on 26 July 2012. You must still be unemployed for at
least 4 days out of 7 to claim Jobseeker's Benefit. You can read FAQS
about these changes.
There is an exemption from some
of the rules for retained firefighters. More information is available about
and Jobseeker's Benefit.
To qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit, you must pay Class A, H or P PRSI
contributions. Class A is the one paid by most private sector employees. Class
H is paid by soldiers, reservists and temporary army nurses, who do not qualify
for Jobseeker's Benefit until they have left the army. To qualify you need:
*If you do not have 13 paid contributions in the relevant
tax year, you must have paid 13 contributions in any of the following years:
The Relevant Tax Year is the second last complete tax year before the year
in which your claim is made. So, for claims made in 2014, the Relevant Tax Year
is 2012.
There are a number of circumstances in which you can be awarded credited
contributions. For example, pre-entry credits are given when you start
employment for the first time in your working life. However, you can only
qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit when you have actually paid 104 contributions.
Credits are also awarded while you are getting certain social welfare payments,
including Jobseeker's Benefit (provided it is for 6 days), Illness Benefit
and, in some cases, Jobseeker's Allowance.
Contributions you have paid in other member
states of the EU/EEA will be added to your Irish contributions. If you are
applying for Jobseeker's Benefit and need the contributions paid in another
EU/EEA country to help you qualify, then your last contribution must have been
in Ireland.
You are capable of work unless you can prove otherwise. You must produce
medical evidence to prove that you are not able to work. If you have been
incapable of work for some time you must produce a final medical certificate to
prove that you are now fit for work.
If you are ill and incapable of work you may be entitled to Illness Benefit.
If you are pregnant you are considered to be capable of work unless you have
complications during your pregnancy or you are ill. You can read more in our
document on 'Pregnancy
and social welfare payments'.
You must be available for work and actively looking for work to qualify for
Jobseeker's Benefit. You may be asked to show evidence that you are actively
seeking work. For example, letters showing job applications or failure to get a
Unavailable for work
You can be regarded as not being available for work and not entitled to
Jobseeker's Benefit, if you put unreasonable restrictions on the following:
In any case where a Deciding Officer is of the opinion that you have placed
unreasonable restrictions, you will be interviewed and given the opportunity to
If you are looking after a sick or elderly person you may be entitled to Carer's Benefit.
You must have suffered a substantial loss of employment in any period of 7
consecutive days to be eligible for Jobseeker's Benefit (casual workers and
retained firefighters with no other employment are exempt from this rule). This
means that you must have lost at least one day's employment and as a result of
this loss be unemployed for at least 4 days out of 7 days. Your earnings must
also have been reduced because of the loss of employment. You may be
disqualified from getting Jobseeker's Benefit for 9 weeks if you:
If you are under 55 and get a redundancy payment of more than €50,000 you
are disqualified from claiming Jobseeker's Benefit. The table below shows how
long you may be disqualified for. The length of the disqualification is at the
discretion of the deciding officer (who can take your circumstances into
account). Any period of disqualification is subtracted from your total
Jobseeker's Benefit entitlement. So if you are disqualified for 3 weeks (which
is 18 days payment) your JB claim starts on day 19. Note that people who take
voluntary redundancy and do not get a redundancy payment of over €50,000 can
claim jobseeker's payments immediately.
If you are on strike, you are not considered unemployed and not entitled to
Jobseeker's Benefit. However, your family may get Supplementary
Welfare Allowance.
If you are out of work as a result of a strike (if, for example, you have
been laid off), you are however in a different position. You may qualify for
Jobseeker's Benefit if you are "not participating in or directly interested in
the trade dispute which caused the stoppage at work".
The duration of Jobseeker's Benefit reduced by 3 months with effect
from 3 April 2013. For people with 260 or more PRSI contributions
paid, it reduced from 12 months (312 days) to 9 months (234 days). For people
with fewer than 260 PRSI contributions paid, it reduced from 9 months (234
days) to 6 months (156 days).
If you are
aged between 65 and 66 when your JB claim would end you can continue to claim
it until you reach 66 if you meet certain conditions. See above for
information about new administrative provisions for older jobseekers.
You can re-qualify for JB if:
However if you are working and claiming JB (systematic short-time workers
and part-time workers) you cannot simply continue your JB claim when it is
exhausted since you must have suffered a substantial loss of employment to
re-qualify for JB, (unless you are a casual worker).
If you have lost your job you will have suffered a substantial loss of
employment. If you are a part-time or systematic short-time worker DSP will
look at your pattern of employment over the last 13 weeks or another
representative period to find out whether you have suffered a substantial loss
of employment.
For example, if you are getting JB and working 3 days each week as a
systematic short-time worker or a part-time worker and your employment pattern
has not changed during the course of your JB claim, you will not have suffered
a substantial loss of employment and will not re-qualify for Jobseeker's
Benefit when you exhaust your claim. However, if your JB claim ends and your 3
day week working week is then reduced to a 2 day week, you will have suffered a
substantial loss of employment and may re-qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit.
If you claim JB for a period, sign off and then claim JB again within 26
weeks your claim may be linked to the earlier claim. This means that
your claim is not treated as a new claim and:
If your JB claim does not link to a previous claim it is treated as a new
claim. You must wait for 3 days before getting a payment and your cumulative
total of days starts from the first day of payment.
You can read more about linking
claims including information on linking to a different scheme (such as
Illness Benefit) and linking to an earlier JB claim through a different scheme
or period spent in training or on an employment scheme.
The Department of Social Protection operates a fast-tracking system for
people who sign off to take up work for a short period (up to 8 weeks) or to go
on a short training course (up to 8 weeks). This ensures that your payment is
re-instated without delay. It is important that you inform your local social
welfare office in advance that you are taking up work or training. Your Rent
Supplement or Mortgage
Interest Supplement claim can also be suspended for up to 8 weeks.
If your spouse's, civil partner or cohabitant is dependent on you or is on
a low income you may be able to claim an increase in your payment for him or
her. This increase is called an Increase for a Qualified Adult (IQA). If your
adult dependant is earning €100 or less you will get the maximum IQA. If he
or she is earning between €100 and €310 you will get a reduced rate of IQA.
If your adult dependant is earning more than €310 you will not get an
increase in your Jobseeker's Benefit for your adult dependant.
You can look at our documents on Claiming
for an adult dependant and Jobseeker's
Benefit and work to find out more. If you have dependant
children you may also be able to claim an increase in your payment for
JobBridge, the National Internship
Scheme provides work experience for people who have been getting a
jobseeker's payment or signing for credits for at least 3 months. See our document
on JobBridge. The Work
Placement Programme provides 9 months' work experience for graduates and
other unemployed people. For more information contact your local employment
services office.
Jobseeker's Benefit is not paid for the first 3 days you are unemployed (the
first 3 days are any 3 days, not necessarily consecutive, in a period of 7
consecutive days).
If you are unemployed for a second time within 26 weeks of your last JB
payment your application for Jobseeker's Benefit is not treated as a new claim
and you do not have another 3 days of non-payment.
Weekly Jobseeker's Benefit payment in 2014
You get a personal rate and may get an increase for an adult
dependant and child
dependant (see above). Your average weekly earnings do not affect the
amount you get for a child dependent.
Average weekly earnings
Jobseeker's Benefit rates are graduated according to your earnings in the
relevant tax year. Your average weekly earnings are your gross yearly earnings
from employment divided by the number of paid A, H or P contributions in the
relevant tax year.
The relevant tax year is 2 years before the year of your claim. For example,
if you claim Jobseeker's Benefit in 2014 the relevant tax year is 2012. If you
only qualify for a reduced JB payment, it may of greater benefit for you to
claim Jobseeker's
Allowance instead of Jobseeker's Benefit.
Your payment can be reduced if you refuse or fail to attend meetings
requested by the Department or if you refuse or fail to participate in an
appropriate employment support scheme, work experience or training.
Penalty rates will not apply to people over 62 from 1 January 2014.
Linking claims
In some cases, a current JB claim may be linked to an older claim (see
above). If your JB claim is linked to a claim earlier than 2009 the following
graduated rates apply:
For claims in 2014 linked to JB claims started before 2009:
You can collect your Jobseeker's Benefit payment weekly from your nearest Post
You must bring valid photographic identification (photo ID) with you to
collect your payment. The following is regarded as valid photographic
Staff working in the Post Office may ask to see your photo ID before giving
you your payment.
Benefit is taxable. However, if you are getting Jobseeker's Benefit because
your normal working week has been reduced temporarily (systematic short-time
work) your Jobseeker's Benefit is not taxed. If you are working part-time and
getting Jobseeker's Benefit for the days you are not employed your
Jobseeker's Benefit is taxable. Find out more about
the taxation of Jobseeker's Benefit and the taxation of JB for systematic
short-time workers.
If you are getting Jobseeker's Benefit, you may be entitled to:
You do not qualify for the Household
Benefits Package or Free Travel
with Jobseeker's Benefit.
You should apply for Jobseeker's Benefit the first day you become
It is important to apply on the first day you become unemployed because you
will not get paid for the first 3 days of your claim.
Benefit application forms are available online. You can also get an
application form from your
social welfare local office or Intreo
You will also need to bring certain documents to prove your claim. You may
find this list
of documents you need when you apply for Jobseeker's Benefit useful. If you
do not have these documents to hand, you should apply anyway and supply them
later. You should remember that delay in applying for Jobseeker's
Benefit may mean that you lose out on your full entitlements.
You can get help to fill in your application form at your social welfare
local office or nearest Citizens
Information Centre.

People getting a Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Pension, a
One-Parent Family Payment or a deserted wives payment and who met all the
conditions for Jobseeker's Benefit, were entitled to half the normal rate of
Jobseeker's Benefit. These half-rate payments were discontinued from
February 2012.
The duration of Jobseeker's Benefit reduced by 3 months with effect
from 3 April 2013. For people with 260 or more PRSI contributions
paid, it reduced from 12 months (312 days) to 9 months (234 days). For people
with fewer than 260 PRSI contributions paid, it reduced from 9 months (234
days) to 6 months (156 days). Claimants getting Jobseeker's Benefit for 6
months or more on 3 April 2013 (or 3 months for people with fewer than 260
contributions) were not affected (see table below).
If your employer does not issue you with a P45, it may be because you have
not been registered for PRSI by your employer. It also could be that you have
been registered but your employer has not paid the PRSI contributions which are
due or has not paid the correct amount. Under the Social Welfare
(Consolidation) Act 2005 the employer is obliged to register all employees for
PRSI. More information can be found in our document about your Employer's
duty to pay social insurance.
If your former employer refuses to give you a P45 it can affect your
application for Jobseeker's Benefit (JB). You should still apply for JB but the
Department of Social Protection cannot pay JB to you until they verify your
former employment.
If you do not have a P45, the Department may informally contact you employer
at the time of your application for JB and request him/her to send you a P45 to
help process your claim for JB. If this hasn't resulted in your former employer
giving you your P45, you can ask to fill-in form IA49 at your local Social
Welfare Office.
Form IA49 is a declaration stating that you believe your former employer did
not comply with social insurance regulations. As a result of your declaration,
there will be an investigation into your employer's payment of PRSI. Filling-in
form IA49 may not result in your P45, however, it may help to determine if you
qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit.
If you are not given a P45 when you leave your job you should first ask your
employer for it. If the employer does not supply it you should contact the tax office.
If you contact your tax office, Revenue will contact the employer and obtain
your P45 for you. If you have started a new job, Revenue will send you a new
tax credit certificate so you will not have to pay emergency tax in your new
job. More information about how
to get your P45 is available.

Blackhawk Knoxx CompStock Rifle Stock Winchester Model 70 Post-64 Short Action Short Magnum Pillar Bed Overmolded Rubber & Synthetic Black
Product #: 877545 BlackHawk #: K70140-C UPC #: 5212570140
Product Information
The Knoxx CompStock is a replacement stock that dramatically reduces felt recoil. An internal system of rollers and springs reduces peak recoil by over 50 percent, making even the heaviest magnums a delight to shoot. Based on a Hogue overmolded stock, the CompStock features a fiberglass skeleton and overmolded rubber surface that make it as durable as it is comfortable.
Technical Information
Overmolded stock is made by Hogue, then fitted with the Knoxx CompStock recoil reduction system
Intended to be a drop in installation, but may require minor fitting
Stock has straight comb, ambidextrous palm swells, varmint-style forend, buttpad
Stock has front sling swivel stud but rear swivel stud is mounted more forward than typical, as it would interfere with the action of the recoil reduction system if it were at the rear of the stock
Recoil Reduction System:
Housed inside the butt
Uses an assembly with a roller, cam lever and extension spring
When firearm is fired, the inner section of the buttstock moves rearward into the outer section of the buttstock, cushioning recoil

With the holiday season comes holiday shopping -- and holiday scams.
Many consumers see their shopping lists grow this time of year but checking it twice could keep you from becoming a victim of scammers.
Kristi Pena, with the Better Business Bureau, said they see scams pick up around the holidays, about the same time consumers start doling out more cash.
"The top scam would absolutely be identity theft -- handing a credit card over to a clerk and then they're writing down this information," Pena said.
Skimming is also a popular scam this time of year and the third most common is simply overcharging customers and pocketing the extra cash.
While identity theft is harder to prevent, preventing overcharging is simple.
"Make sure you're looking at your receipt as you're there at the counter," Pena said.
One thing you can do to protect yourself when you're checking out is hit credit instead of debit.
Credit cards have insurance -- a debit card does not.

Between 50% and 80% of women will experience some form of back pain during pregnancy. Weight gain associated with the growing baby, a shifting center of gravity, and hormonal changes affecting the joints and ligaments all contribute to put more stress on the spine.
Good posture is so important during pregnancy. Side pillows and footrests are particularly good for helping make pregnancy less stressful. These and other products take pressure off the spine while increasing circulation. Additionally, they help with spinal alignment and comfort.

ADA News
House urges interaction between dental schools, labs to meet future needs
Orlando, Fla.—The House of Delegates is encouraging U.S. dental schools to interact with U.S. dental laboratories and encouraging dental laboratory technicians to be presenters at continuing education seminars, according to resolutions passed at this year's annual session.
Resolution 69H-2010 states the American Dental Association will encourage all U.S. dental schools to use dental labs in the United States for students' restorative prostheses instead of sending the prescription abroad. The ADA believes the students' education would be enhanced by interaction with local dental labs.
"I think we have a concern that by eliminating the interaction and the educational value of having dental students working directly with master technicians that the quality of the overall educational process of dental students will be diminished," said Dr. Bill D'Aiuto, chair of the Subcommittee on the Future of Dental Laboratory Technology and a member of the Council on Dental Practice. "Learning how to communicate with dental laboratory technicians is essential for their professional success."
CDP formed the subcommittee at its October 2009 meeting to examine significant issues facing the dental lab industry.
The resolution also encourages dental schools to use their own in-house dental labs whenever possible in order to facilitate the interaction between students and dental lab technicians. The ADA is also encouraging dental schools to combine their dental education programs with dental lab technology programs whenever dental lab technology programs are located within commuting distance of the dental school. The programs or curriculum could include dental morphology/occlusion, prosthetic design and fabrication, waxing, casting, surveying of study casts and incorporation of CAD/CAM technology.
The resolution, proposed by CDP, is in response to a concern about a significant decline in the number of independent accredited dental lab technology programs. The number of Commission on Dental Accreditation-accredited dental lab technology programs has decreased from 58 in the mid 1980s to 20 today.
CDP is also keeping an eye on the trend toward offshore outsourcing, which puts competitive pressure on U.S. labs and causes concerns about domestic dental prosthetic production.
Res. 68H-2010 amends the current policy "Support of the Dental Laboratory Technician Certification Program and Continuing Education Activities." The House added a sentence that encourages dental technicians to attend the appropriate continuing education seminars as presenters.
The ADA and other interested stakeholders have spent the past several years meeting, discussing and brainstorming ways to make the dental laboratory industry better.
Many groups are dedicated to achieving the ultimate goal of fostering better communication between dentists and dental lab technicians. CDP believes the interaction between the two groups is one of the most critical issues facing the dental lab industry.
"We see, as a council and as an ADA House, the long-term value in rekindling this working relationship, starting in the dental schools," Dr. D'Aiuto said. "It's vital to the care of the American people."

Coaching and teaching in the areas of health and physical education (HPE) require a strong base of knowledge in human physiology, movement skills, and the art and science of teaching. As an HPE major at Berry, you'll get all that and more. The program is hands-on with lots of field-based, practical experience. And our small classes give you the opportunity for a great deal of personalized interaction with your professors.
The HPE teaching major
Berry's HPE teaching major is designed to prepare you for state teaching certification in preschool through grade 12 (P-12). When you successfully complete the program, you will earn a Bachelor of Science degree in education and be ready to sit for the state teacher-certification exam. The HPE program meets National Association of Sport and Physical Education standards. All of Berry's teacher-preparation programs are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. The Charter School of Education and Human Sciences is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The interdisciplinary studies program
If you are highly motivated and self-directed you may be able to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study with emphasis on sports-related courses. Students who pursue the flexible interdisciplinary studies degree program work closely with their faculty advisor to integrate classes from multiple disciplines into a unified and coherent course of study that culminates in a capstone paper or project.
Opportunities for firsthand learning
As a Berry HPE major, you'll begin to have field experiences in your sophomore year. Supervised assignments in local preschool, elementary, middle and high schools may include class observation and assistance; interviews with teachers and administrators; teaching in the classroom, on the field and in the gymnasium; and extracurricular activities. As a senior, you'll have a student-teaching experience under the guidance of a qualified supervising teacher. Berry also offers many opportunities for students to work on campus, and there are a variety of sports-related positions.
Dance program
Berry's dance program offers a wide array of opportunities. For the serious dancer, the annual spring dance concert offers a main-stage performance with professional choreography and costume, set and lighting design. If you want to improve your dance skills, courses are available in modern dance, choreography, yoga, movement for stage and children's creative dance. And for those who want to dance socially, there are a variety of Latin, ballroom and country-western dance classes. A minor in dance also is available through the departments of theatre and kinesiology. Twenty-one hours of dance and theatre courses constitute a dance minor that can be added to any major academic program.
BOLD program
The Berry Outdoor Leadership Development (BOLD) program offers academic courses and team-building workshops for students, sports teams, educational programs and professional groups. KIN-BOLD courses include rock climbing, backpacking, mountain biking, kayaking, aquatics and challenge courses, as well as adventure sports and experiential leadership development. BOLD team-building activities help groups from on and off campus to improve communication, problem solving and goal-setting skills; build trust; and explore co-operative learning.
Collegiate sports
Many HPE majors are interested in competing in collegiate sports. Berry offers a full array of men's and women's intercollegiate teams including basketball, golf, lacrosse, running, soccer, tennis, and swimming and diving. Other varsity sports include men's baseball and women's softball, volleyball and equestrian. Berry student-athletes have a long history of success on the playing field and in the classroom. After many years in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Berry is now a provisional member of NCAA Division III.
If you want to play intramural sports, Berry is a great place for you. Activities include badminton, basketball, bowling, cross country, flag football, golf, mixed doubles tennis, soccer, softball, ultimate Frisbee and volleyball.
HPE teacher-education careers
HPE graduates typically teach at the elementary, middle-grades or high school levels, and many also pursue athletic coaching interests in varsity or junior varsity sports. Others opt for graduate study in physical education or a related field. Graduate school is an excellent choice if you want to teach and/or coach at the collegiate level or work in sports psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy or athletic training. There are many careers related to HPE in addition to teaching and coaching. A short list of careers and possible workplaces includes sports information, corporate fitness, dance, industrial recreation, the Y (formerly YMCA), camps, sports equipment, officiating, private sports instruction and sporting-event management.

Just a Little Soccer Boy
He runs toward the goal with his heart pounding fast.
Dribbling the ball and hoping to make it past.
Mom and Dad cannot help him, he moves all alone.
A goal at this moment would send the other team home.
The ball meets his foot; he kicks and it misses.
There is a groan from the crowd, with some boos and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries,, "Take out the bum."
Tears fill his eyes; the game's no longer fun.
So open your heart and give him a break.
For it's moments like this, a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.
He's just a little boy and not a man yet.

Poultry Grading and Certification
Grading and USDA Quality Grade Standards
Quality grades provide a standardized means of describing the marketability of a particular food product. Through the application of uniform grade standards, poultry and poultry products can be classified according to a wide range of quality characteristics. Buyers, sellers, and consumers alike can communicate about these characteristics through an understandable common language.
USDA has developed
quality poultry grade standards
for whole carcasses and parts, as well as boneless and/or skinless parts and products. Depending upon the product, the standards define and measure quality in terms of meat yield, fat covering, and freedom from defects such as cuts and tears in the skin, broken bones, and discolorations on the meat and skin. The intensity, aggregate area, location, and number of defects encountered for each quality factor are determined. The final quality rating (A, B, or C) is based on the factor with the lowest rating. Poultry standards are reviewed, revised, and updated as needed to keep pace with changes in processing and merchandising.
In order for poultry to be eligible for an official USDA grade designation, each carcass or part must be first inspected for wholesomeness by USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and individually graded by a plant grader. Then a sample of the product is taken by a USDA grader. Officially graded poultry that passes this examination and evaluation process is eligible for the grade shield and may be identified as USDA Grade A, B, or C. Quality grades and their application to poultry products are explained in detail in the
USDA Poultry-Grading Manual (PDF).

It's the third race of horse racing's so-called "Triple Crown," but what happens if the first two races have two different winners?
It's kind of like having your commercial set to air in the last 10 minutes or so of the BCS National Championship Game. If it's Oregon-Auburn from two years ago, that's a good thing. If it's Alabama-Notre Dame from this year, that's a bad thing.
If no triple crown is possible when the Belmont runs, who beyond the racing lovers are going to pay attention?
The Kentucky Derby runs first and has an aura that overcomes the triple crown hype. The Preakness has the fun of seeing if the Derby winner can win again.
But the Belmont? For most of us, what's the point without the triple crown?

Dan Maffei on Environment
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. OBEY (D, WI-7): The cash for clunkers program has proven even more wildly popular than its strongest supporters had predicted. Just last month, Congress passed the program, which provided up to $4,500 if you trade in your old gas guzzler for a new car that gets better mileage. That was done in the hopes of spurring some new car sales and encouraging people to be a little more environmentally friendly. We provided $1 billion in the supplemental to get it going, enough for about 250,000 sales--which was just about exhausted in one week. This bill transfers $2 billion from the Department of Energy's Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee program, which doesn't expect to award funding until late next year.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. LEWIS (R, CA-41): In the majority's haste to slam legislation with no time for consideration or amendments, we are now seeing the effects of such shortsighted martial law tactics.
Senator Feinstein tried to negotiate some changes to improve the program but was told that it was this way or the highway. Not one hearing on the Cash for Clunkers program, not one hearing on how the first billion dollars has been spent, not one hearing on how much money the program will need to get through the fiscal year.
Many of my colleagues will say, This is a great program, and it is necessary for the revitalization of the car industry. I'm not really going to argue with those goals. However, are we sure this program is working like it's supposed to? I don't think so. This program has only been up and running 1 week. If that is how the government is going to handle billion-dollar programs affecting all Americans, I ask, Whatever will we do if the administration takes control of our health care system?
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. NICK RAHALL (D, WV-3): Earlier this year, the BLM made a truly shocking announcement. This Federal agency announced future plans to destroy, i.e., slaughter, 30,000 healthy wild horses and burros entrusted to their care by the American people. How in the world can a Federal agency be considering massive slaughter of animals the law says they are supposed to be protecting? The bill before us gives the agency as many options as possible to avoid destroying these animals.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. DOC HASTINGS (R, WA-4): Across our Nation, Americans are struggling to pay their bills; 9.5% of Americans are out of work. With this backdrop, what is the response of this Democrat Congress to record unemployment and skyrocketing deficits? Their response is to create a $700 million welfare program for wild horses and burros. If the American people want an illustration of just how out of touch this Congress has become on spending, they need to look no further. In the last Congress, the House passed legislation to ban the commercial slaughter of wild horses and burros, that cost taxpayers less than $500,000 a year. Now we're looking at a bill that, again, bans slaughter of these animals but then proceeds to spend $700 million to create a new welfare program for wild horses. Republicans are focused on creating the jobs in this country, but this Democrat Congress seems to be more worried about wild burros and wild horses.
Amends the Internal Revenue Code to make permanent the tax deduction for charitable contributions by individuals and corporations of real property interests for conservation purposes. Known in the Senate as the Rural Heritage Conservation Extension Act of 2009.

"Caregiver Alternatives to Running on Empty"
In Mecklenburg County Project C.A.R.E. is coordinated through-the Department of Social Services. Call 704-432-1111 for more information.
Project C.A.R.E. Fact Sheet
Project C.A.R.E. is administered through the Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) with expert consultation and technical assistance provided by the Duke Aging Center Family Support Program. Project C.A.R.E. is implemented at the local level through Family Consultants. The program is currently based within the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services, two local Area Agencies on Aging (Regions Q and N), and Park Ridge Hospital (Henderson County). The Project C.A.R.E. staff at Park Ridge (based in Fletcher, NC) serves as the program's statewide training and technical assistance resource.
Project C.A.R.E. employs Family Consultants with expertise in Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. The Consultants visit the homes of referred dementia caregivers in crises and offer timely, individualized assessment, guidance, counseling, support, advocacy, coaching and education. Their aim is to match families with the most appropriate and preferred local respite and community services tailored to their unique situation and needs. Through Project C.A.R.E., caregivers may spend up to $1,000 per year toward respite services. Families are able to choose among a full continuum of consumer-directed care options, including adult day services, group respite, private or agency in-home care, and overnight residential respite.
There are currently five program sites set up to serve the following 40 counties: 1) Charlotte (Mecklenburg County); 2)Winston-Salem (Forsyth, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin); 3) Hendersonville (Avery, Buncombe, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania and Yancey); 4) Pembroke (Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Hoke, Robeson, and Scotland); 5) Washington (Beaufort, Bertie, Gates, Halifax, Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Northampton, Pitt and Washington).
[Back to Top]
"Getting a break certainly helps me keep a smile on, and makes me a better person to give him the care he needs and deserves."
~Project C.A.R.E. Client
The personalized approach of the Consultant fosters family trust, offers individualized caregiving and coping skills and encourages caregiver self-care. Project C.A.R.E. helps families learn the value of quality respite services and feel empowered to make self-directed, informed decisions about care.
The Project C.A.R.E. model builds upon, enhances and sustains existing home and community-based services by using local providers to deliver respite care while serving as a direct link to the expertise and resources of the Duke Family Support Program. Project C.A.R.E. also connects families to the NC Family Caregiver Support Program, CRC's, VA Programs, Hospice and other caregiver-focused initiatives– creating a strong network of community support for Alzheimer's families. This comprehensive system of care strengthens the family's capacity to manage the ongoing and diverse challenges inherent in caring for a person with dementia, enabling families to provide care at home longer.

"Upon arrival into the home, families are often paralyzed by their experience. I begin, first, by teaching the caregiver how to accept help, practice better self care and make informed care decisions."
