Effective Saturday, November 16, 2013 Stillwater National Bank and Bank of Kansas became
Bank SNB!
On October 4, 2013, Southwest Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of SNB and Bank of Kansas announced its two banks would consolidate into one bank, under one national charter. With the banks becoming one brand, Bank SNB, Southwest can now offer its customers a greater banking convenience across its three state region. Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas branch customers will now be able to bank at any of our Bank SNB locations.
See Kansas Locations
Having one brand simplifies things for Southwest. "This charter consolidation and new name allows us to be unified as one bank and one brand across our entire footprint," stated Mark Funke, CEO of Southwest. "Our new logo for Bank SNB is a modern take on the Stillwater National Bank's historic 'S'. It pays homage to where our company came from." The new brand was introduced in the marketplace on Nov. 16. Bank SNB's marketplaces should see a advertising campaigns and a strong introduction of the new brand in January 2014. While Bank of Kansas has operated under one name since 1904, SNB was a common acronym for many Stillwater National Banks. In Texas, we operated as SNB Bank of Austin, SNB Bank of Dallas and SNB Bank of San Antonio, as well as SNB McMullen Bank in Tilden. In Oklahoma, our Tulsa, Chickasha, Edmond and Oklahoma City branches operated with an SNB in front of their city names as well. Today the new brand, Bank SNB gives customers the same great high-touch level of customer service they have always received at our company. The same local people, will be advising our customers on their financial success. Bank SNB Integrity. Trust. Relationships. That's what's in our name. Bank SNB.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
The name apatite comes from a Greek word "apatos," meaning deception, which alludes to the mineral's similarity with other more valuable minerals such as olivine, peridot and beryl. It can be transparent to opaque, with color that is typically green but can also be yellow, blue, reddish brown, violet and colorless. This gem exhibits an unusual "partially dissolved" look similar to the look of previously sucked-on hard candy.
Apatite is widely distributed in all rock types, but is usually just found as small grains or fragments. Large and well-formed crystals, though, can be found in certain contact metamorphic rocks; but with a hardness of 5.0 on the Mohs Scale, the softness of apatite prevents wide distribution in the jewelry market. Apatite occurs generally in rather rough prismatic crystals, the largest being 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
In most limestone quarries, careful search shows the presence of small prisms of bright green apatite in the limestone. Notable occurrences include Germany, Brazil, Russia, Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Canada, East Africa, Sweden, Spain and Mexico.

I'm a big fan of minimal designs, especially minimal film posters, so I decided to make a few of my own using one of my favourite film trilogies (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End) as inspiration.
I also have another Shaun of the Dead design called 'You've Got Red On You' and this design and that one were created at the same time as a kind of before and after set. This one showing Shaun at the end of the film and the other showing Shaun at the start of the film

In 1704, Peter the Great employed Frenchman Le Blond to design a luxurious formal garden in the manner of Versailles. In 1777, the beautiful garden with fountains, imported trees and more than 200 Italian statues was unfortunately ruined by a flood. Today's slightly more austere incarnation can be ascribed to the more restrained taste of Catherine the Great. Nowadays, more than 80 statues reside at the park; in the winter, they are eerily encased in wooden boxes for protection from the winter elements. In the summer, the relaxed calm of the gardens makes it a popular destination for weddings and parties. You can expect to pay a small fee to enter the gardens.

MEN and WOMEN
Two ladies are catching up with each other over coffee.
So, how was your evening last night?
It was a total disaster! My husband arrived home, late and drunk, and in 4 minutes he wolfed down the dinner that had taken me all afternoon to prepare, then he took me upstairs where we had 3 minutes of hurried love before he rolled over and fell asleep 2 minutes later. What about you?
Oh, I had an incredible time. My husband was waiting for me when I got back home from work. He took me out for a very romantic dinner. We then walked back home, under an amazing starry sky. Once we were home, he lit up all our candles and then our foreplay lasted for an hour, after which we made love for another hour and then we chatted until late. It was wonderful...
Meanwhile, at the pub, the husbands are comparing notes.
So, how was your evening last night?
Great! Stopped for a quick couple of drinks after work, when I arrived home, the food was ready. I ate, we shagged and I fell asleep. What about you?
It was a total disaster! I came home early to fix the kitchen shelf. When I switched on the power drill, the fuse went out and the whole house went into darkness. I couldn't find the bloody fuse box so when my wife arrived home I took her out for dinner, which was the only thing to do to avoid her moaning at me.
Dinner was so expensive that I couldn't afford the taxi back home, so we had to walk. When we got home, the house was still in the dark, obviously, so I had to light all those fucking candles to avoid knocking everything over.
We went to bed but I was so wound up that it took me an hour to get a hard on, and another hour to come.
In the end, I was so pissed off that it took me ages to fall asleep, while she kept yapping on and on, not that I was listening to a word she said.

There are over 500 students on our undergraduate degree programmes, making the Institute one of the largest teaching departments in the University. We place a great deal of importance on the quality of the teaching and learning experience that students receive, with an approach that challenges them intellectually while supporting them during their career with us. Students are allocated a personal tutor in their first year to act as a point of contact and advice throughout their degree, while our student-staff forums ensure there is a regular opportunity for students to share their thoughts, opinions and suggestions for improvements with staff.
During their degree, many of our students produce award-winning work. Our graduates are employed throughout the media, communications and cultural industries, while our close links with industry allow us keep our courses up to date and our students in touch with the latest industry trends. Our aim for all students is that their degrees from ICS equip them with the skills and passion to pursue their careers to the highest level of success.
We offer four undergraduate courses:
BA Hons Broadcast Journalism - accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council, this degree is for students interested in developing a career as a broadcast journalist. This degree focuses on developing the technical and theoretical skills required for working in radio, television and online journalism. Intensive training in practical skills is complemented by options allowing students to explore broader communications environment, including online / multimedia journalism, documentary production, political journalism, and the creative and cultural industries.
BA Hons Cinema and Photography - for students who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in digital film and photography. The degree includes core theoretical and practical modules while the options cover a wide range of topics including TV production, film editing, film production, digital photography, script writing, film history, digital imaging and documentary production.

The Institute also operates as a major research department. Many of the staff have written key books and articles on communications, media, film and culture, and the Institute undertakes research commissions for professional bodies, such as the BBC, the independent sector and research councils. As a student at ICS, you not only benefit from the knowledge of leading industry professionals, but will be taught by some of the leading scholars in the field, ensuring that you leave us with the ability to think both creatively and critically about the industry and career with which you engage.

The Cedaredge Public Works Department's monthly water report has noted the contribution of the Thunder Mountain Wheelers ATV club for its work that is helping to secure the dam on the town's Calumet reservoir.
The small, 10-acre-foot reservoir's dam was feared being degraded by a trail across it that the ATV group had become accustomed to using.
When it was determined that the use was having an impact, the club members did the right thing.
"Thunder Mountain Wheelers has been working diligently with the town and the Forest Service to relocate the trail that crosses our dam at Calumet Reservoir," stated the public works report. "They are awaiting final approval from the Forest Service to take the trail from Chipmunk to the north side of the Reservoir."
The Town of Cedaredge owns several reservoirs on Grand Mesa which for varying reasons are not fully functioning to benefit the raw water collection and storage system. Some of the reservoirs could face "abandonment" status if not rehabilitated.
"There have been many discussions over the years about the need to preserve the water and storage rights, but it has generally been found to not be a cost effective means of obtaining water," states the water report. "The Town of Cedaredge by itself is not in a position to rehabilitate the dams due to the high cost and low return (i.e., water yield)." But the rights associated with the water they could store are senior and valuable in that regard.
The town is working with water managers and agencies now evaluating various scenarios for keeping the water and the senior rights they carry on the Grand Mesa.
In a separate water matter, the Orchard City Irrigation District voted to increase water allocations from 45 percent to 52 percent because of recent rainy weather.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday responded to international criticism of a plan to build 797 homes in Gilo, saying that Israel will continue construction in Jerusalem in the same way that the international community builds in their own individual capitals.
"We place no limits on construction in our capital city," Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting. "Just as they build in London, Paris, Washington and Moscow, we will continue to build in Jerusalem."
He added: "We have no less historic and strong connection to our capital."
Netanyahu's criticism came after Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman set Israel's "red line" on the issue, saying that that the country will not negotiate with anyone over Jerusalem.
"Jerusalem is not a settlement," Liberman said in his second attack on the EU since its public censure of the plan. "Gilo is a Jewish neighborhood. Today there are 32-33,000 Jews living there. It's an integral part of Jerusalem."
An Interior Ministry regional planning committee gave initial approval to the project in June and completed the planning process on Thursday, according to Hagit Ofran of Peace Now.
But before construction can begin, the Ministry of Construction and Housing and/or the Israel Lands Authority must call for tenders and the Jerusalem Municipality must issue building permits.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton condemned the plan and called it "regrettable" and "illegal."
"Settlements are illegal under international law and threaten to make a two-state solution impossible," her office said. "The EU has repeatedly urged the government of Israel to immediately end all settlement activities in the West Bank, including in east Jerusalem, in line with its obligations under the road map."
Liberman encouraged European officials to focus on their internal issues, including ongoing strife in Brussels and Cyprus. He also invited them to visit Gilo to gain a better understanding of the neighborhood's relation to Israel's capital. "Gilo is a seven minute walk from the city center," he said. "Its population is homogeneously Jewish."
He added: "Every Israeli government has built there, starting with [former prime minister Levi] Eshkol and [former prime minister] Golda Meir."
"The stance the EU has taken is unilateral, and one which does not promote dialogue with the Palestinians," he said. "It is an anti-Israel position."
Gilo, which is located over the Green Line, is one of the five ring neighborhoods in the capital that were developed immediately after the Six Day War. In a final-status agreement, such as one based on the 2000 Clinton Parameters that calls for predominantly Jewish areas to stay part of Israel, Gilo and the other ring neighborhoods are almost certain to stay part of Jerusalem.
Pressed on why Liberman endorses EU intervention on the Iranian threat while denying its stance on settlements, the foreign minister stated that the European sanctions against Iran are in its self interest. "The EU is not working for us. They're working for them," he said. "The sanctions they're imposing on Iran are not for Israel's sake. The Iranian regime is supporting genocide in Syria, they're terrorizing Lebanon. They tried to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in US."
Turning to the domestic political arena, Liberman decried Labor party leader Shelly Yacimovich, saying she was promoting an agenda that is "Cuban and North Korean."
"Shelly Yacimovich uses all of the slogans of the communists," he said. "We'll take money from the rich and give it to the poor. This is pure populism. She has no idea what a social democratic state even is."
Liberman mentioned that he is close friends with former prime minister Ehud Olmert, who is currently contemplating a return to politics.

A photo shoot between Johnny Ryder and Charlie Harding as a wrestling duo plays out exactly as directed by their photographer. But it doesnt take much convincing for either model to get motivated and act out their photo fantasy in some hot gear. The sexual chemistry between the two hunks is instantaneous. Charlie goes down to suck his opponents hefty tool, bathing the meaty cock with his tongue. Johnny does the same when its his turn to overwhelm his partner with oral skills. Johnny squats over Charlies face for a hearty session of ass-munching, spreading his butt cheeks apart for a thrilling tongue fuck. Charlie pins his cock in Johnnys ass and he screws it furiously in a variety of positions. Getting pushed toward the edge, Johnny jacks himself off until he blows his load, and shortly after he gets blasted in the face by Charlies milky load.

Neil Peart makes Gibson's Top 10 Rock Drummers of All Time list
Gibson.com posted their list of the The Top 10 Rock Drummers of All Time to their website earlier today. Rush's Neil Peart made the list at #2 second only to legendary Led Zeppelin sticks-man John Bonham. Here's what they had to say:
Drummer and lyricist for Rush, Neal Peart is hailed in many circles as the quintessential rock drummer. He's known for his ingenious drum parts and intense solos with lead passages that rock hard and prove the drums, indeed, can be a lead instrument. No Rush concert is complete without Peart's sparking, obligatory drum solo, and his syncopated drumming style certainly has its own distinct sound and aura. You can always tell when it's Peart playing.
Thanks to Power Windows for the heads up.

Perhaps Will Rogers' common-sense advice will prevail across the Olympic Peninsula and legislators will place a moratorium on biomass incinerators, recognizing that massive wood burning will increase human health risks and further pollute our bodies and our teetering ecosystem.
Nippon and Port Townsend Paper say these incinerators will preserve mill jobs. Worried about local economies, their supporters accept corporate promises. Skeptics cite Samuel Goldwyn: "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on." Others note that Nippon answers to Japan. Port Townsend Paper refuses public questions.
A welter of federal and state subsidies use tax dollars to underwrite biomass incinerators, covering about 40 percent of capital costs. Forced to pay the real costs, companies would need to charge two to four times more for their electricity. The City of Port Angeles gives Nippon big breaks on utilities, reducing its water bill by $1.5 million a year, compared to rates citizens pay, and not charging a base electricity rate.
The power generated won't be used locally but will be sold to the highest bidder. Corporations reap the profits; communities are guaranteed only pollution.
Consider: Nippon's incinerator would more than double the toxins released upwind of Port Angeles, Sequim and much of Clallam County. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) would increase by 51 percent, oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by 62.1 percent, carbon monoxide, (CO) 133.5 percent.
Combined with moisture, these gases become acids that fall as particles (dry deposition) or acid rain.
Oxygen and CO become CO2, the gas that's warming our planet and making the oceans so acidic that restaurants featuring regional seafood may need to re-think their menus.
Northwest oyster farmers have observed the impact of acidification on oyster larvae since 2006. Natural spawning has not occurred around Willapa Bay for six years. In the thousand-acre Fish and Wildlife Willapa Bay preserve, "The reserves are down to nil," said Taylor Shellfish spokesman Bill Dewey.
Smaller farms that depend on larvae Mother Nature provides now struggle.
Carbon dioxide is breaking down essential marine ecosystems. Increasing acidification may seriously jeopardize survival in young fish, Janet Raloff reports in Science News. Calcium carbonate, essential for crabs, corals and shellfish to build their skeletons and shells, declines with acidity.
Certain harmful algae blooms also thrive in acidic waters, releasing toxins that can kill fish, mammals and birds and make humans sick.
The Department of Ecology reported finding dioxins and furans, pesticides, PCBs, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and zinc in Port Angeles harbor sediments. A hearing from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 13, at the Olympic Medical Center, Linkletter Hall, 939 Caroline St., Port Angeles, offers an opportunity to examine these results and ask questions.
Dioxin contamination was found in soil samples taken around Port Angeles, but no countywide soil study has been undertaken.
A crowd called for a moratorium on biomass plants at the Clallam County Board of Health meeting Feb. 21, citing numerous health concerns. Some spoke of choosing the peninsula for its clean air and worrying about having to relocate.
Family physician Penny Burdick noted that ultra-fine soot particles from biomass burning can travel into the bloodstream, pass the blood-brain barrier, damage every internal organ and even fetuses in the womb.
Virtually weightless, these numerous and dangerous ultrafine particles and nanoparticles drift with prevailing winds. They are completely unregulated and can't be eliminated by current technology.
"The best way to keep air clean is not to dirty it in the first place," said Clallam County resident Francisco de la Cruz.
Burning wood to generate electricity is hardly a sure-fire money-maker. Biomass plants in Loyalton, Calif., Gunnison, Colo., Snowflake, Ariz., Millersberg, Ore., and a dozen across the country have failed, often because fuel costs became too expensive.
Kitsap and Mason counties have moratoriums on biomass plants.
A presentation, "Burning Biomass: Economic, Environmental & Health Concerns," will be from 2-4 p.m.
Sunday, March 11, at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., and will feature Kees Kolff, MD, and Bob Lynette.
A moratorium would at least stop the digging until we can examine an issue key to a healthful future for our communities.

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is an uncommon, severe form of deep venous thrombosis (blood clots in the vein), usually in the upper leg.
Phlegmasia alba dolens
Pain, swelling, and bluish-skin coloring affect the area below the blocked vein.
For information on diagnosis, see: Deep venous thrombosis
For information on treatment, see: Deep venous thrombosis
Continued clotting can lead to increased swelling. The swelling can interfere with blood flow. This complication is called phlegmasia alba dolens. It causes the skin to turn white. Phlegmasia alba dolens may lead to tissue death (gangrene) and the need for amputation.
See immediate medical help if an arm or leg is severely swollen, blue, or painful.

I have been thinking about buying a nice acoustic. The new martins and gibsons sound cheap to me. Not interested in those.
Played a taylor 814 and loved it. Very nice sounding guitar. Nobody carries prs acoustics where i live. What am i missing?

If you are looking in this particular price range, you really do need to do a side-by-side comparison. some differences may leap out at you and some might be more subtle. I would not trust myself to remember how one sounded in one place, drive and then compare to something else in another place. If you are going to spend that much money, you need to be sure....
I deleted my earlier post because I needed to organize my thinking.
Taylors are really nice guitars, I've had an 814 and 914. Still, the PRS USA acoustics are in a different league.
Whether you prefer one over the other is, of course, a personal choice, just as some players will pick up a PRS and yet prefer their Tele. If you're serious about acoustic guitars, I believe that you'd be doing yourself a favor to at least try the PRS and check it out. BTW, make sure the store has fresh strings on it.
While I agree with Ruger that the best thing is a side by side comparison, I will also say that the impression I had after playing a PRS acoustic was so profound that I didn't need to play it side by side with another guitar.
With all that in mind, here are differences that were important to me:
The fundamental tone has more authority and weight even when picked softly. The mids and upper mids are more complex. The highs on both guitars are wonderful, personal preference applies. I think the PRS is richer sounding overall, with a more balanced blend. The PRS has greater dynamic range. It also projects better. The sustain on the PRS is off the chart.
The PRS is a work of high end sonic art, IMHO. The Taylor is a very nice guitar that occupies a different niche. And neither is a "wrong" choice.

I have to agree that you need to sit down and side-by-side compare various guitars in order to find which really makes your ears happy. To me, buying a guitar depends on three key elements: (1) Sound, (2) Looks, (3) Price. I have around something like 10 Gibson acoustics, all of which I love and I grew up from being a child as always wanting a Gibson so they fullfill that desire. Sound wise, they're great but my Taylor's have them beat. I have a dozen Taylor's, all the upper stuff including some build to order's. I was convinced that Taylor was the best and only way to go for build quality, looks, and sound. I still think they're fantastic, but... If you can afford the PRS, definitely go that way. Absolutely unbelieveable in so many ways. When I got my PRS, I was in a local store (GuitarRez here in Austin) and trying out some various guitars. My wife told me to try the PRS, even though the price tag was well above what I could spend at the time. I tried them and was floored. I'd never even considered a PRS up until that point. Now I do love my other guitars (including other brands), but the PRS is truly the flagship. In fact, Paul Reed Smith himself was just in town and I took my PRS acoustic to see him and he used it in a nice demonstration. I don't know the full magic, but PRS has the wand and is using it. Go PRS!
Hey there pickwithaustin, that's what I was hoping to hear. I was starting to think vintage acoustic would be my choice as I have heard older martins and gibsons sound fabulous. I just happened to be at a "quiet" store stocked with taylors and tried the 814. It sounded very nice with me playing it and letting the owner play it while I listened.
What is it with the new martins and gibsons? They sounded like a cheap guitars. I played a couple of D28s that were terrible.
Looks like I better try and find a store that handles prs acoustics. What model would you recommend?
There aren't many choices: Tonare is their bigger guitar, Angelus a bit smaller - with or without electronics (which are quite good). And there is the SE Angelus. Tonare is probably closest to the Taylor 814 you liked. I would try them both again if I could.
I have a Tonare and a couple of the nicer Taylors. I like them both a lot, but they do have very different sound. It would be hard for me to give up either. The Tonare is by far the easiest acoustic to play as - left hand fingering is much closer to playing an electric than any other acoustic I've played.
I have to agree there with veinbuster. Each has their own feel and sound. I think the PRS is incredible (I have an Angelus), but the Taylor's, Gibson's, and Guild's that I also enjoy each have a sound all of their own.
I agree with pickwithaustin's posts as well as veinbuster's if that helps, too. They said what I was trying to say, only better.
I went with the Tonare simply because I am used to bigger guitars, and it's a bit wider and deeper than the Angelus.
The interesting thing about life is that it is utterly preposterous.

A Campbell County man has been arrested on 20 counts of animal cruelty after deputies conducted a several week investigation of a puppy mill.
Dennis Kramer, owner of Kramer Krift Farm, faces up to twelve months in jail or $500 per fine.
Investigators say they found 18 dogs of various breeds kenneled in 14 cages outside the home in deplorable conditions. Police say the dogs had no fresh food or water, were covered in feces and urine and exposed to the twenty-degree temperatures with no shelter.
"Deputy Harney got a tip a few weeks ago about the conditions of the dogs at the home of Mr. Kramer," says Sheriff Kidwell of the Campbell County Sheriff's Office. "After completing our investigation including the use of satellite images for identification of outside kennels, we believed the evidence warranted further investigation and a visit to the property that resulted in the arrest."
The Campbell County Sheriff's Office is continuing their investigation.

Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs (D-Flatbush) announced the final state budget reverses some damaging cuts in health care, restoring approximately $1.3 billion to protect the most vulnerable patients and ensure working families have access to quality health care. In addition, the 2009-10 budget begins permanent health care reimbursement reforms and investments that will lead to $1.6 billion in savings this year and billions more in future years.
"We are in the midst of the worst economic crisis in recent history, and we've had to make tough choices – but the health of New Yorkers can't be compromised," Jacobs said. "We've worked hard to protect our health care facilities and programs in this budget so working families will continue to have access to quality health care."
Helping Hospitals & Nursing Homes
Hospitals and nursing homes are New York's most important allies in combating sickness and disease – as well as ensuring the needs of our elderly population are met. According to Jacobs, that's why the Assembly fought to ensure our health care facilities continue to be able to provide the quality care that is needed to treat and care for our most vulnerable populations.
The Assembly health budget restores millions of dollars to New York's health care facilities by rejecting $361.6 million in executive cuts to hospitals and $195.6 million to nursing homes.
Jacobs said it was essential for the Assembly to make substantial changes to the hospital reimbursement system proposed by the executive. The enacted budget provides significant restorations for academic medical centers and primary care hospitals as well as valuable safety net providers, Jacobs added.
Health Care Workers
"As the state's health system continues to evolve and change, the need for skilled health care workers increases," said Jacobs. "That is why the Assembly rejected the executive's proposal to eliminate funding for the Worker Retraining Program. When possible, a skilled health care worker should be given the opportunity to be retrained in alternative, high-need health care professions before they face the unemployment line."
EPIC & Medicare Part D Coverage
The budget restores $49.9 million to the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program – which is designed to lower prescription drug costs for seniors with fixed incomes – and $2.8 million to the Medicaid program to restore "wrap around" coverage for drugs denied by Medicare Part D.
"We need to ensure all seniors have access to affordable prescription drugs. Without access to their prescriptions, many seniors will needlessly end up in the hospital or emergency room," said Jacobs.
In addition to these EPIC and Medicaid restorations, the budget rejects $30.5 million in additional reductions to pharmacy benefits and programs, and accepts the following proposals:
- Changes to the Supplemental Rebate Program and the Drug Utilization Review Program to ensure patient protections by providing the same "physician prevails" protections that currently apply to the Preferred Drug Program;
- Coverage for brand name drugs when they are less costly than generics; and
- Requirement that EPIC enrollees join a Medicare savings plan if they are eligible and provide EPIC reimbursement for mail order pharmacies.
Preserving & Expanding Long-Term Care at Home
According to Ms. Jacobs, home health agencies are already surviving on lean budgets. That is why the budget rejects $132.8 million in reductions proposed by the executive, including:
- $64.6 million for Medicaid rate reductions, rejecting across-the-board cuts to home and personal care; and
- $48.7 million to preserve the amounts providers spend on administrative expenses so more dollars could be invested into the system in order to care for patients.
"Home health care is vital to helping elderly and disabled people remain in the community and avoid expensive institutional care," said Jacobs. "Cuts of this magnitude would have a direct negative impact on home patient care – we cannot allow the health and safety of patients to suffer because of tough economic times."
To put the needs of our aging population front and center, and to preserve the quality of life for seniors, the budget will phase out 6,000 nursing home beds over five years to make way for 6,000 beds in Assisted Living Programs to provide elderly individuals with an alternative to nursing home services, Jacobs said.
"Rather than place patients in a nursing home, assisted-living programs allow individuals who need assistance from a nurse or medical professional to receive superior care in a less-intensive setting," said Jacobs. "The Assembly will continue to pursue ways to ensure important programs continue to exist that offer patients the quality of life they deserve."
Early Intervention Program
The Early Intervention Program (EIP) offers a variety of free therapeutic and support services to infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays. To ensure these children and their families receive needed services and treatment, the budget rejects all executive changes to EIP – including changes that would have exempted children with certain speech-only delays from participation, and established parental and provider fees for participation, noted Jacobs.
Lead Poisoning Prevention
The budget provides investment dollars for the enhancement of lead poisoning prevention activities, including increased monitoring of blood lead levels in children to help prevent and mitigate the harmful effects of lead exposure.
"Times are tough and tough choices need to be made – but we cannot balance a budget by compromising the health of working families. The budget ensures New Yorkers have access to quality, affordable health care and makes no recipient cuts," concluded Jacobs.
