Question: What is SOAR?
Answer: SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) is a national project that increases access to Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI/SSDI)— the two disability programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) — for people who are homeless and have a mental illness or co-occurring disorder. Currently, only 10-15 percent of people who are homeless are approved on their initial SSI/SSDI applications. SOAR has a training component (Stepping Stones to Recovery) for front-line staff who work with people who may be eligible for these programs and a systems-change component for communities to address this issue. When SOAR critical components are used, those success rates improve to 60-95 percent with a turnaround time of about three months on average (instead of a year or more in most cases). Policy Research Associates, Inc., operates the national SOAR Technical Assistance Center for this SAMHSA-funded program.
As a street outreach worker, the SSI/SSDI application process intimidated me. The application forms looked long, formal, and complicated. I had also never actually seen anyone get approved for disability benefits. It seemed like it was "above my pay grade" and not a good use of my time. An attorney would handle it well, right? After listening to Yvonne Perret (co-author of the Stepping Stones to Recovery curriculum) speak for about two hours, I completely changed my opinion on the value of assisting someone with disability benefits. She taught me what we could do as direct service workers to boost the success rate and expedite applications. The work empowered me. I began having success in an area that most professionals find incredibly frustrating. Using SOAR critical components, my first 23 SSI/SSDI applications were approved in an average of 40 days. I was on fire, far from burning out, and on a mission. I felt more effective in my role as an outreach worker and was able to witness people take the first steps to recovery and possibly future employment once they received the benefits they deserved. Simple, paltry monthly cash payments and health insurance can transform lives. In 2010, 37 states using SOAR critical components reported an average success rate of 73 percent on almost 10,000 initial SSI/SSDI applications in 91 days. SOAR really works!
Question: Housing First or medical/mental health services first?
Answer: Housing First, please! If I were an agency director, I would buy Dr. Sam Tsemberis' book, Housing First, for all of my board members and begin a conversation about how we would implement the Pathways model of Housing First and transform our agency and community through the implementation of this evidence-based practice. It's a practical book for a wide audience and it makes the case, yet again, that providing people who are homeless with housing and services despite their background or illness is the cheapest and best way to end homelessness. I only wish this book had been written at least five years ago when many cities began their Ten Year Plans to End Homelessness.
Of course, Housing First interventions do not exist in every community, so you have to do what you can in terms of helping folks meet their basic needs and gain access to medical and mental health services, which is what SOAR is all about. To make the widespread adoption of Housing First a reality, we all need to work together, debunk myths, and challenge the status quo. The status quo says that Housing First is too expensive when in reality we are paying more for traditional shelter, jail and emergency room stays. The status quo wants people to "earn" housing through sobriety when alcoholism and drug addiction are physical illnesses of the brain. Would we offer housing to someone who has cancer or diabetes even if they were not taking all of their prescribed medication correctly? Of course we would. We need to challenge our colleagues who believe addiction is a personal failing and not a disease that needs to be treated with the latest medical interventions like other chronic physical illnesses. These interventions include medications like Vivitrol, talk therapies like Alcoholics Anonymous, and housing with services chosen by the tenant.
Finally, there are myths and misunderstandings about Pathways Housing First that impede its implementation. In the forward to Dr. Tsemberis' book, Dr. Beth Shinn writes, "Pathways Housing First is neither a 'housing only' approach, nor does it offer 'worker-knows-best' services coupled with immediate housing. It is a successful, rigorously documented, systematic approach to serving homeless people with addiction and mental health disorders. This manual clarifies the ethos and practices of Pathways Housing First. Hopefully, it will also begin to change the standard training that still makes it hard for many social service professionals to give up coercive control —no matter how artfully it may be disguised — and support the choices of the people with whom they work." Offering choice and hope to the people we meet may be the biggest challenge.
Question: I'm a brand new outreach worker, working the urban streets. What are the top ten things I should know?
Answer: 1. Congratulations! You have the best job in the world. Hang on to it for as long as you can. Ninety-nine percent of program administrators don't have the experience you are about to get. 2. There are mentors out there that can help define your work, enhance your effectiveness, and prevent you from burning out completely. Reach out to them. There are many saints that come to mind, but here are a few: Ken Kraybill, Craig Rennebohm, George Koenig, and my Nashville peeps — Lindsey Krinks, Jeannie Alexander, Ben Griffith, Brian Huskey, Carolyn Cooper, Sam Wise, Steve Samra, Ashley Wright, Jack Blum, Lauren Russell, Tasha French, and Corey Gephart. 3. Treat the people you meet on the streets as equals. There is no such thing as an "expert" outreach worker. Be humble and thank your clients for their time when they meet with you. You are their nosy and often intrusive student. 4. Develop a self-care routine to prevent burn out. This is easier said than done. Try to carve out 10 minutes of your morning and afternoon to be alone and breathe. Reflect on each day by writing journal entries or field notes. 5. Walk. Most people who are homeless do not drive cars, and even if they did, you can't talk to other drivers unless you roll down your car window and yell (not a best practice!). Walking long distances helps develop empathy by reminding you how tough it is to spend the entire day on your feet out in the elements. A good walk also allows for longer, more mindful conversations. The more you walk, the more people will notice and trust you. It's a sign of solidarity. 6. Sunglasses can be a big turn-off. Imagine what it would feel like if your boss always put on dark sunglasses every time he or she talked to you. You would probably get a little nervous! Protection from UV rays is important, but let people see your eyeballs when you are listening or talking. Other turn-offs: Bluetooth phone headsets, government badges, shirts or jackets with words like "outreach" or "homeless" printed on them, and other less fashionable annoyances like showing up late or not at all, dishonesty, overpromising, and tactlessness regarding personal information or a lack of confidentiality. 7. You may need to check your substance use. It is impossible to engage people fully and give your entire self when you are hung over from drinking the night before (believe me, I've tried). If you have ever thought that you can't control your drinking or drug use, address it early on by asking for help from your doctor, Alcoholics Anonymous, or other mentors and important people in your life. 8. Your supervisor may not know how to supervise outreach workers, but you need supervision! Ask for weekly meetings with your supervisor and invite him or her to come out with you during an outreach round. Ask for their availability on the phone or in person when there are situations that come up that you don't know how to handle. You can also read this book: Managing Social Service Staff for Excellence, (2010) by Nancy Summers, for tips to share with your supervisor. 9. Your voice is vital to the planning and policy process in your community. Become a student of homelessness by educating yourself on evidence-based practices and tell your colleagues and community leaders about your front-line experiences. You will witness where the system fails and succeeds. You will see the reality of your city. Tell people about it. 10. Street outreach is a "fuzzy" endeavor and there are many definitions of it. Spend some time trying to define what it is and what outcomes you want to achieve. Here is one definition: "…contact with any individual who would otherwise be ignored (or underserved)…in non-traditional settings for the purpose of improving their mental health, health, or social functioning or increasing their human service and resource utilization." — Gary Morse
Question: What are some risks associated with outreach work?
Answer: With so much need out there, it is very easy to become constantly busy and rushed and hurried in your outreach work. Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, equated this busyness to violence. He once said, "The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to violence. More than that, it is cooperation in violence. The frenzy of the activist...destroys [her] own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of [her] own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful." Ken Kraybill first made me aware of this rich and powerful quotation — a statement that tells me that we need to get back to basics. We don't need more meetings or programs or technologies. We can reduce our meetings by coming up with better agendas, reduce our programs by focusing on evidence-based practices (let the old programs die honorably) and reduce our use of technologies by separating from them at times so they don't separate us from meaningful encounters with one another. Without doing so, we will risk doing harm, often unseen harm, even when our intentions are good.
People often ask me if outreach workers face safety risks when out there on the streets. I think it's smart to carry a cell phone, to follow your gut, and to check in with colleagues. I never felt threatened and most folks are pretty pleasant. If you find yourself getting into arguments, fights, and sketchy situations, it likely has more to do with you than the person in front of you. Critique your approach, ask for help, smile, and listen more.
Question: Can you describe one of your success stories? How did you engage this person, how did you help? Otherwise, how would you define success?
Answer: There's a nice woman in charge of the Section 8 program in my hometown. I mentioned to her once that people often have a difficult time receiving the approval letter from the housing authority telling them that they had 60 days to find housing with their brand new Section 8 housing subsidy. Her office communicated mostly by mail and phone, and folks checked their mailbox in the day shelter maybe once every couple of weeks, so they would receive the letter with only 30-45 days left. That isn't much time to find a suitable apartment especially when you don't have transportation or a phone (or a place to live) and with all of the housing authority inspections that need to happen.
She listened to me and then agreed to streamline the process for people who were homeless and receiving a stable income like SSI or SSDI, which we were able to get using SOAR strategies. If we could gather the necessary documents before the appointment (state identification, birth certificate, social security card, proof of income, tuberculosis test, etc) and make it to the appointment (both big "ifs"), her office would issue the Section 8 voucher on the same day as the application. The same day! That was a huge deal and something that I will never forget. Many of the processes that seem set in stone are actually quite malleable and can change. Engage people with respect and tell them what you see out there on the streets. If you work hard and follow through on your commitments, people will try to help you.
Question: Please explain your process of engagement.
Answer: The basics to engagement are meeting people with a smile and something to eat, drink, or smoke. I also try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible in lieu of some non-verbal communication and big words like "uh-huh" and "yep." I try to implement motivational interviewing as much as possible and what the late psychologist Carl Rogers called "unconditional positive regard" or plain acceptance of an individual despite what he or she does or says. It's such a freeing and effective principle.
Getting a little more theoretical, I follow an engagement framework and process that Craig Rennebohm calls the Relational Outreach and Engagement Model. There are four stages in this model: approach, companionship, partnership, and mutuality that help people move from isolation to stability. You can find more information about this model and Craig Rennebohm's work at www.mentalhealthchaplain.org
The four stages mentioned above are grounded in three understandings: the first understanding is that we are always in relationship with one another — "the question is not whether we have a relationship, but how our relationships will take shape," the second is that "healing is always possible," and the third is that the nature of our world is personal and intimate. These understandings have guided my work and helped me explain the nature of what outreach work entails to folks inside and outside of the homeless service world.
Here is a very brief summary of the four stages. The approach stage is marked by observation, empathy, and introduction. The companionship phase involves sharing the gift of hospitality like eating meals together at soup kitchens, drinking a cup of coffee together, walking, waiting in line, or watching the mighty river flow along the riverbank. Partnership occurs when you start working together to meet basic needs and to access services and apply for benefits and housing. The mutuality phase begins when your once isolated neighbor has a support network through the partnering that occurred, and your role as an outreach worker naturally changes. You don't drop off the face of the earth, but your relationship changes and your neighbor has less time for you because other relationships have grown.
Of course, this is just a conceptual framework and the stages do not always flow in a linear fashion. Each stage can take minutes or years, and sometimes you just feel like you are keeping your head above water!
Question: What are some important partnerships the outreach worker must develop?
Answer: It helps to make friends with anyone who does not want people sleeping on the streets or in shelter. This is pretty broad of course, but this simple goal kept me from excluding anyone from the mission to end homelessness. We all have a role to play and we need all of the help we can get. For example, I am lucky enough to have a supportive family. I let them know that many people I would meet on the street had a tough time meeting their basic needs. In no time, my parents were donating to my employer and other agencies in the community. My cousin started a fund to buy anything from shoelaces to glasses — no questions asked, no red tape — by inviting her friends over for dinner and asking them to bring $20-$30 to put into a pot. It was beautiful.
Despite getting shoddy reputations in many communities, police officers and groups like downtown associations can be lifesavers. In many cases, these groups actually do their homework by researching evidence-based practices and know more about solutions to homelessness than many who define themselves as advocates. Obvious and natural partnerships to make include: housing agencies; landlords; hospitals and clinics (and anyone who wants Medicaid dollars); day shelters; libraries; corrections agencies; shelters; congregations; and emergency services. Non-evident partnerships to build include the lady that works at the trolley kiosk, staff at gas stations, business owners in the areas you frequent, and the very people you are trying to serve.
Question: How has your work with SAMHSA benefitted your outreach work?
Answer: SAMHSA does at great job at promoting evidence-based practices through direct funding and the dissemination of information to the front lines all the way up to directors and policy makers. In many communities, the funding they provide is the only funding available for outreach services to people experiencing homelessness. We are fortunate to have SAMHSA's leadership in promoting recovery from mental and substance use disorders and meeting the challenges and exciting opportunities that come with health care reform.

T-Mobile poised to launch HTC One S April 25
T-Mobile is all but ready to announce an official launch date and price for the HTC One S, according to newly leaked details. TmoNews has obtained a screenshot that shows the carrier has circled April 25 for its debut of the powerful HTC smartphone.
Initially unveiled at Mobile World Congress a few months ago, T-Mobile was quick to announce future support for the HTC One S. The dual-core smartphone has been released in Europe and other countries and is already scoring high marks.
T-Mobile's pricing remains a mystery, though I suspect that it will hover somewhere around the $200 mark. Sprint's upcoming HTC Evo 4G LTE (a variant of the HTC One X) is a more formidable device so I doubt that T-Mobile could get more from its customers.
The HTC One S will be T-Mobile's first smartphone to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Additional specifications include HTC's latest version of Sense UI, a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and support for T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps network.

Have the keywords in your content as reader friendly then search engine friendly. Read this post so that you "Don't give a chance for your readers to miss your Content".
This post helps you to know how to improve content writing by formatting the content with HTML & SEO standards that can be easily understood by search engine bots about the importance of the content subject along with researched keywords. If you do not format properly, even quality content will not reach your readers. Make Google[1], Yahoo[2] and Bing[3] search engines, easily crawl able.

Don't miss the chance and get to know how to use these standards.
Improve Content write-up to reach your readers with SEO Factors
Normally only few content writers thinks about SEO for Content, that is writing content and optimizing for search engine to make it easily spiderable[4]. One must follow SEO factors to reach readers local and global. Now a day's SEO for Content is very much essential even for quality content to win search engine results and to reach readers who look for your quality information.
(a) SEO copy writing - Two Ways
You need to start a ground work of picking relevant keywords using Google Keyword selector tool[5] or Search-based Keyword Tool[6] for your content and you may start writing your contents with those single, two word key phrases and long tail key phrases. Do not make the content odd by stuffing those keywords. You can think of the keyword and write the content and if the information is clear and beneficial for it's users then you win the game. If content is written with related images and examples, if any, then you will get even better responses.
Another way is that you can first prepare your content drafts and based on the subject you can look for keywords using Google Keyword selector tool[5] or Search-based Keyword Tool[6]. Then related to the content you can add keywords and make the copy more meaningful and as well make sure that you don't add too many keywords[7]. Do follow Keyword Strategies that can help your to determine the best practice.
(b) Four Keyword Strategies
Here is a much enhanced keyword strategies that can make big difference in your new content write-up and as well to improve your existing content. The strategies are keyword density, frequency, prominence, and proximity.
(i) Keyword Density
To make your content win in search results you need to add top search keywords that your readers use in search engine. Your content may have those key phrases but make sure those are used in your content in correct format that meets keyword density.
Keyword Density % = Amount of keywords used / Total amount of words in the content.
Keyword density in percentage terms is calculated based on the amount of keywords you have used and the total amount of words you use in the content. This strategy is used to avoid the chance of keyword stuffing[7]. Keyword density can be between 2% to 8% and not more than that.
(ii) Keyword Prominence
How prominently your keywords are placed in your content depends on how much top priority for the keyword is given in your starting content, Title, H tags and Meta tags.
(iii) Keyword Frequency
The number of times a particular keyword has been repeated. Referring to the example you can see how many times "Photograph Editing Software" Keyword appears on a page content. Some may think that more the times Keyword found in a page, then the page ranks better for that Keyword. It is not so. Stuffing Keywords in a page will result in penalizing since it looks like spam[7]. Here you need to follow Keyword Density.
(iv) Keyword Proximity
Keyword proximity refers to how close two or more keywords are to each other. You will achieve higher rankings if you place your keywords close together.
It depends on how you frame your two or more words to each other. If you are able to have words in your keywords close then you have chances to rank much higher. Here are two types of examples of how keyword "Photograph Editing Software" is focused.
Example 1: Looking for Photograph Editing Software? Go for Adobe photoshop.
Example 2: Best Software for Photograph Editing is Adobe photoshop.
Example 1 will work better when compared to Example 2 since in example one "Photograph Editing Software" is used as one single Keyword were as example 2 uses "Software for Photograph Editing". Words are not close and in order.
In detail, In Example 1, "Photograph Editing Software" 3 words are in same order as searched by users, whereas in Example 2, "Software for Photograph Editing" are not in order as you can see "Software" word is used in front of "for Photograph Editing" rather than after "Photograph Editing" as you can see from the actual keyword "Photograph Editing Software".
All the Four Keyword Strategies can be applicable in below tags and these are very much useful:
* Title.
* Meta Description.
* H1, H2, H3, H4 Tags.
* ALT attribute.
* Page name.
* Anchor Text.
* The body of the text.
(c) Maintaining the position.
It is not only about winning the game on holding the position in #1 page. It is all about maintaining the position in #1 page. I see some get into the position and then drop down soon. This is due to the lack of updates on the topic. Don't give any chances. This may also happen sometimes when you don't follow keyword strategies in your content and when you don't follow SEO standards.
Plan of Action to Rank in First Page
1. Improve your content writing for readers and DO SEO[10].
2. Make sure you have fresh and informative content in your content[8].
3. Avoid thoughts of using content only for marketing.
4. Make your content unique so it stands out from the rest.
5. Work on your content regularly.
6. Do add relevant key phrases to your content and avoid stuffing.
7. Do apply HTML standards and SEO factors to your content for effective search engine listings.
8. Always set right balance for users and Search Engines.
Example on SEO Copy Writing
Here is an example based on optimizing the content. Suppose you plan to have a write-up on "Photograph Editing Software" as below. Here are the steps to show how to use Google Keywords tool to pick relevant keywords and optimize content for those keywords.
Step1: Now to start with optimization you can look for "Photography Editing Software" keyword search count and related keywords using Google Keyword tool.
Click Google Keyword selector tool and paste the keyword "Photography Editing Software" in the "Enter one keyword or phrase per line" text area box, next enter captcha security characters and press Get Keywords ideas button as seen in Figure 1.1
Step 2: Now you gets two types of results. One is "Keywords related to term(s) entered" and the other is "Additional keywords to consider". If you feel Additional keywords are useful you can very well use them.
Below keywords shown in Figure 2.1 are from "Keywords related to term(s) entered" section:
Step 3: Now we have 5 keywords to optimize and the write-up is about Adobe photoshop and we all know Adobe is not free so we can eliminate 5th keyword. (Refer Figure 2.1)
Now we have 4 keywords to consider to optimize the content. Here is an example how we add those keywords to the content.
"Looking for Photograph Editing Software? Go for Adobe photoshop. One of the Best photography editing software for Digital and Professional editing."
SEO Standards - Content formatting and practices
The content formatting and presentation is very much important.
(1) Title Tag
This is the main tag for search engines to know all about the page content. Keep your title tag Keyword rich and catchy since many search engine uses Title tag for search listing.

Durbin removes FB post after White House miscue
CHICAGO (AP) - U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin has removed a Facebook post that erroneously claimed a GOP leader had told the president, "I can't even stand to look at you."
Durbin said Monday he's satisfied that that people now know he's not to blame for the mistake.
The decision resolves a point of tension between the White House and one of President Barack Obama's most loyal defenders. The White House acknowledges the error stemmed from a "miscommunication."
Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, was not at the meeting where the statement in question would have been made. He says his source was a White House staffer who briefed him.
The post drew rebukes from Republicans who said no such statement was made.
Oberweis wants to challenge Durbin for US Senate
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - State Sen. Jim Oberweis says he's gathering petition signatures to make a bid for the U.S. Senate.
The Republican from Sugar Grove made the comments Wednesday at a Springfield rally for opponents of same-sex marriage. He says he wants to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin. Oberweis is a dairy magnate who has made numerous bids for office before.
He made previous unsuccessful attempts for U.S. Senate in 2002 and 2004. He also ran and lost in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary, and a congressional bid in 2008. He won a seat to the state Senate last November.
Downers Grove businessman Doug Truax and Kane County Regional School board member Chad Koppie are also making primary bids.
Illinois governor's race: Dillard picks Rep. Tracy for lt. gov.
CHICAGO (AP) - Republican gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Kirk Dillard has chosen state Rep. Jil Tracy as his running mate.
Dillard announced his lieutenant governor pick late Monday on Instagram with a video message.
Tracy is a Quincy Republican who first took office in 2006 and is a member of the bipartisan pension panel tasked with trying to find a solution to Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension problem.
Dillard is set to make the announcement official Tuesday with a statewide tour, including stops in Quincy, Springfield and Rockford. Tuesday is the first day candidate petitions can be circulated
It's the first year lieutenant governor candidates will run with governor candidates on the same ticket.
Also Monday, Treasurer Dan Rutherford announced his running mate is Chicago attorney Steve Kim.
Gov. signs in tougher new IL gun laws
CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois gun owners who fail to report the theft or loss of a weapon will face tougher restrictions under a new law signed by Gov. Pat Quinn.
The law beefs up background checks and requires firearm thefts or losses to be reported within 72 hours.
Quinn signed the bill Sunday at a South Side Chicago park where police officer was fatally shot in 2010. The Chicago Democrat says the restrictions are common sense and will help crack down on crime.
Democrats State Sen. Kwame Raoul and state Rep. Mike Zalewski sponsored the bill. It's also supported by Chicago Police Chief Garry McCarthy.
The requirement to report thefts goes into effect immediately. The background check changes start next year.
Illinois AG Madigan passes on run for governor
SPRINGFIELD, IL (AP) - Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says she'll seek another term instead of running for governor next year.
In a statement Monday, the Chicago Democrat says she considered mounting a challenge to Gov. Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat, but decided to stay in her current job and to seek re-election.
Madigan says one factor in her decision is that her father is the powerful speaker of the state House. She says the state would not be well-served with a governor and speaker from the same family.
Madigan's exit leaves former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, who's formed an exploratory committee to challenge Quinn, and four Republicans. Illinois faces major financial challenges, including a $97 billion hole in its pension funding.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says she'll seek another term instead of running for governor next year. In a statement Monday, the Democrat says she did consider mounting a challenge to Governor Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat, but decided against it. Madigan says one factor in her decision is that her father is the speaker of the state House. She says the state would not be well-served with a governor and speaker from the same family.
The decision by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to seek re-election may have put a cramp into the plans of at least two Democratic politicians - state Sen. Kwame Raoul and Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon.
Raoul has made clear he would make a bid for the attorney general's office if Madigan ran for governor.
Raoul planned to ramp up his fundraising efforts after the close of the last Legislative session.
Simon has long made it known her political future won't include re-election next year. However, she hasn't been clear on what office she might seek instead. Simon has touted her legal background.
Blagojevich appeals convictions ahead of deadline
CHICAGO (AP) - Lawyers for imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich have appealed his corruption convictions and 14-year sentence.
Monday's filing with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago comes more than two years after the Chicago Democrat's retrial and 16 months after he entered a Colorado prison.
Jurors convicted the 56 year old for wide-ranging corruption, including his bid to profit from his power to appoint someone to the state senate seat Barack Obama vacated to become president.
His lawyers filed the appeal less than an hour before a midnight deadline to do so.
In June, defense attorneys citing the complicated issues involved received permission to file a longer-than-usual appeal.
IL Comptroller seeking legal review of Quinn pay cut
SPRINGFIELD, IL (AP) - Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says she's looking into whether Gov. Pat Quinn can legally cut lawmakers' pay.
Quinn cut $13.8 million for legislators' paychecks from a budget bill Wednesday. He says it's the consequence for lawmakers failing to address the state's $97 billion pension shortfall.
Topinka says questions have been raised about whether Quinn's actions are constitutional.
A provision of the Illinois Constitution says changes in lawmaker salary should not take effect during the term in which they were elected.
Topinka says she has requested a legal review. It should be complete before Aug. 1, when lawmakers are scheduled to receive their next paychecks.
Quinn says a prior court ruling gives him the authority. He also says he's not changing their salary, just withholding the money to pay it.
IL Republican Bucshon to challenge Enyart for 12th Dist. House seat
O'FALLON, Ill. (AP) - An Illinois Army National Guard veteran and former sports journalist says he's running for a southern Illinois congressional seat.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that Republican Doug Bucshon is seeking the 12th Congressional District seat held by Bill Enyart, a Democrat who was elected to his first term last November.
A 20-year veteran of the state's National Guard, Bucshon has never held political office. Since retiring from active duty, he has covered University of Illinois basketball and football.
The 12th District stretches from the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis to the state's southernmost tip.
Enyart succeeded Democrat Jerry Costello, who retired after more than two decades in office.
Callis resigns as judge, seeks congressional seat
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - The former chief circuit judge in Madison County, Illinois says she's running for Congress.
Forty-eight year old Democrat Ann Callis announced her candidacy Tuesday for the state's 13th Congressional District seat now held by Rodney Davis. Davis is a Taylorville Republican who was narrowly elected to the House last November.
Callis has been a judge since 1995 and resigned last Friday from her 7 year role as the county's chief circuit judge.
The congressional district stretches across parts of central and southwestern Illinois.
A Davis campaign spokesman says that in the partisan-divided district, "it's no surprise that the Washington Democrats have been attempting to recruit candidates from the moment Congressman Davis was elected last fall." Andrew Flach adds that Davis looks forward to debating the issues against any eventual opponent.
Kelly wins IL 2nd Dist. Democratic nomination - GOP race too close to call
She won over Democratic front runners former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson and Chicago Alderman Anthony Beale, who both called her to concede.
Kelly emerged early on as an anti-guns voice and her campaign got a boost when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's super PAC poured $2 million in ads supporting her and blasting Halvorson, who doesn't favor an assault weapons ban.
Halvorson says big money won the race.
But Kelly says no one complains when the National Rifle Association pours money into races. She says she had a good team that worked hard on the ground.
Meanwhile, the race among Republicans to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is too close to call.
Chicago resident Paul McKinley was leading fellow Republican Eric Wallace by about two dozen votes as of late Tuesday night. But with a handful of precincts outstanding, no winner was declared.
But regardless of the outcome, the winner will enter the April 9 general election with a huge disadvantage.
The 2nd Congressional District is heavily Democratic, and no Republican has won the Chicago-area seat in more than 50 years.
McKinley is a political newcomer. Wallace founded a Christian publishing company and ran an unsuccessful campaign for Illinois Senate in 2006.
Jackson resigned in November. He pleaded guilty earlier this month to spending about $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.

Jon still loves Penn State. Having known him well while at PSU and having spoken with him several times since he left (both while at UCLA and after), I can tell you that Jon doesn't hate PSU and he didn't transfer because he hated PSU. Now, his feeling for Jerry Dunn, I'll leave those for someone else to tell.
BKHPSU said...
Great to hear Jon doesn't hate PSU.
Back in those days I thought we may be on our way but losing out on Gerry McNamara and Jerry Dunn's relatiohship with players and we've never really recovered from that. Even in the Dechellis years it seemed someone transferred every year. I hope that trend stops.

1. I hope we're at the point with Pat that the only transfers will be mutually-beneficial transfers, agreed upon by coach and player.
2. Jon never hated PSU.
3. Many of the players did not like playing for Jerry during his time as HC. Everyone that I know thought he was a great person and a nice guy, but not HC material when it came to practice, game management, bench management and x's and o's. This, in my opinion, was a big factor in guys leaving (e.g. Stephenson, Grays, Jon Crispin, Chamblis, etc.), but I'm not sure I could say for sure it's the only/sole reason.
4. Who knows if Gerry McNamara would have really chosen PSU or not, but as the recruiting story goes Gerry was obviously very high on PSU, in large part because of the offensive freedom that Jerry gave Joe Crispin. However, Gerry cooled on PSU because of the the lack of commitment to, and contract uncertainty, for Jerry Dunn. Now, I'm not saying Gerry would have ultimately chosen PSU over Syracuse if Jerry had received a contract extension, but I think the uncertainty ended the game.

Westland Theatre
222 S. Main Street,
Elk City,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Westland is located on Main at East 5th Street. It was a large two story theatre done in red brick with a center panel down the middle above the marquee in a cream color. Pure Art Deco in design on the exterior.
The theatre had a large V shaped marquee with a large vertical with the theatre name in red and white. The marquee is still in use and the vertical is still there. The building now houses the Merrifield Office Supply Store.

That's the place. I recommend the barber shop close to the theater if you're ever in Elk City. Fine haircut I got there.

Governor Mark Dayton and Bruce Dovey, Price Industries, senior vice president
Brutal winters, bird-sized mosquitoes, and a love of hockey. Minnesota and Manitoba have more than a few things in common. And shortly, we will share one more: Price Industries. Today, the company announced plans to build a new design center in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The design center expected to open in 2014 will employ 40 people. In addition to housing research and development operations, the new facility will serve as the Winnipeg-based company's U.S. headquarters.
Governor Mark Dayton worked closely with Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development and Price Industries to make this project happen.
Governor Dayton talks to MCTC students abour their new state-of-the-art training facility.
Yesterday, Governor Mark Dayton visited Minneapolis Community and Technical College's (MCTC) brand new nursing and allied health care facilities. The Governor's 2012 bonding bill provided $13.4 million for the renovation efforts – allowing the school to consolidate and modernize lab space for its nursing, phlebotomy and electroneurodiagnostic technology programs. The new space also emulates a hospital setting to better prepare students for future employment.
When Minnesota invests in infrastructure projects like this one, we also are making critical investments in people. These newly upgraded facilities will provide future nurses and other health care professionals access to state-of-the-art training that will prepare them for success in their careers.

Barbara Palvin: Dating Justin Bieber?!?
by Hilton Hater at .We hope you're sitting down, Jelena fans. This is a potential bombshell.
According to shady reports, Justin Bieber is getting very cozy with a 19-year old Hungarian model named Barbara Palvin.
The pair allegedly flirted big time at Wednesday's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and posted together for the following photo, which Palvin posted on Twitter:
Last night, meanwhile, Palvin was seen walking into a Broadway performance of The Lion King not long after Bieber and his entourage also entered.
She later Tweeted: Lion king ! ❤
Okay, we admit the "evidence" here is a bit flimsy.
HOWEVER, Palvin actually said in a UStream video last year that she doesn't "like Selena Gomez." So there's that.
An insider source close to the model tells Hollywood Life: "If in fact there is any truth [to them dating], Bieber has good taste! Barbara is an exceptional beauty."
That's not exactly a corroboration, is it?

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca Release Declines in Muscle Fibers from Aging Mice Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 8, 15 April 2008, Pages 3178-3188 Ramón Jiménez-Moreno, Zhong-Min Wang, Robert C. Gerring and Osvaldo Delbono Abstract This study hypothesized that decline in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release and maximal SR-releasable Ca2+ contributes to decreased specific force with aging. To test it, we recorded electrically evoked maximal isometric specific force followed by 4-chloro-m-cresol (4-CmC)-evoked maximal contracture force in single intact fibers from the mouse flexor digitorum brevis muscle. Significant differences in tetanic, but not in 4-CmC-evoked, contracture forces were recorded in fibers from aging mice as compared to younger mice. Peak intracellular Ca2+ in response to 4-CmC did not differ significantly. SR Ca2+ release was recorded in whole-cell patch-clamped fibers in the linescan mode of confocal microscopy using a low-affinity Ca2+ indicator (Oregon green bapta-5N) with high-intracellular ethylene glycol-bis(α-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′N′-tetraacetic acid (20mM). Maximal SR Ca2+ release, but not voltage dependence, was significantly changed in fibers from old compared to young mice. Increasing the duration of fiber depolarization did not increase the maximal rate of SR Ca2+ release in fibers from old compared to young mice. Voltage-dependent inactivation of SR Ca2+ release did not differ significantly between fibers from young and old mice. These findings indicate that alterations in excitation-contraction coupling, but not in maximal SR-releasable Ca2+, account for the age-dependent decline in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and specific force.

Sustained Overexpression of IGF-1 Prevents Age-Dependent Decrease in Charge Movement and Intracellular Ca in Mouse Skeletal Muscle Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 3, 1 March 2002, Pages 1338-1344 Zhong-Min Wang, María Laura Messi and Osvaldo Delbono Abstract In this work we tested the hypothesis that transgenic sustained overexpression of IGF-1 prevents age-dependent decreases in charge movement and intracellular Ca2+ in skeletal muscle fibers. To this end, short flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle fibers from 5–7- and 21–24-month-old FVB (wild-type) and S1S2 (IGF-1 transgenic) mice were studied. Fibers were voltage-clamped in the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique according to described procedures (Wang, Z. M., M. L. Messi, and O. Delbono. 1999. Biophys. J. 77:2709–2716). Charge movement and intracellular Ca2+ concentration were recorded simultaneously. The maximum charge movement (Qmax) recorded in young wild-type and transgenic mice was (mean±SEM, in nC μF−1): 52±2.1 (n=46) and 54±1.9 (n=38) (non-significant, ns), respectively, whereas in old wild-type and old transgenic mice the values were 36±2.1 (n=32) and 49±2.3 (n=35), respectively (p<0.01). The peak intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i recorded in young wild-type and transgenic mice was (in μM): 14.5±0.9 and 16±2.1 (ns), whereas in old wild-type and transgenic mice the values were 9.9±0.1 and 14±1.1 (p<0.01), respectively. No significant changes in the voltage distribution or steepness of the Q-V or [Ca2+]-V relationship were found. These data support the concept that overexpression of IGF-1 in skeletal muscle prevents age-dependent reduction in charge movement and peak [Ca2+]i. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (155 kb) |
Effects of Conformational Peptide Probe DP4 on Bidirectional Signaling between DHPR and RyR1 Calcium Channels in Voltage-Clamped Skeletal Muscle Fibers Biophysical Journal, Volume 100, Issue 10, 18 May 2011, Pages 2367-2377 Rotimi O. Olojo, Erick O. Hernández-Ochoa, Noriaki Ikemoto and Martin F. Schneider Abstract In skeletal muscle, excitation-contraction coupling involves the activation of dihydropyridine receptors (DHPR) and type-1 ryanodine receptors (RyR1) to produce depolarization-dependent sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release via orthograde signaling. Another form of DHPR-RyR1 communication is retrograde signaling, in which RyRs modulate the gating of DHPR. DP4 (domain peptide 4), is a peptide corresponding to residues Leu2442-Pro2477 of the central domain of the RyR1 that produces RyR1 channel destabilization. Here we explore the effects of DP4 on orthograde excitation-contraction coupling and retrograde RyR1-DHPR signaling in isolated murine muscle fibers. Intracellular dialysis of DP4 increased the peak amplitude of Ca2+ release during step depolarizations by 64% without affecting its voltage-dependence or kinetics, and also caused a similar increase in Ca2+ release during an action potential waveform. DP4 did not modify either the amplitude or the voltage-dependence of the intramembrane charge movement. However, DP4 augmented DHPR Ca2+ current density without affecting its voltage-dependence. Our results demonstrate that the conformational changes induced by DP4 regulate both orthograde E-C coupling and retrograde RyR1-DHPR signaling. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1165 kb) |

In this work we tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscle fibers from aging mice exhibit a significant decline in myoplasmic Ca2+ concentration resulting from a reduction in L-type Ca2+ channel (dihydropyridine receptor, DHPR) charge movement. Skeletal muscle fibers from the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle were obtained from 5–7-, 14–18-, or 21–24-month-old FVB mice and voltage-clamped in the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique according to described procedures (Wang, Z.-M., M. L. Messi, and O. Delbono. 1999. Biophys. J. 77:2709–2716). Total charge movement or the DHPR charge movement was measured simultaneously with intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The maximum charge movement (Qmax) recorded (mean±SEM, in nC μF−1) was 53±3.2 (n=47), 51±3.2 (n=35) (non-significant, ns), and 33±1.9 (n=32) (p<0.01), for the three age groups, respectively. Qmax corresponding to the DHPR was 43±3.3, 38±4.1 (ns), and 25±3.4 (p<0.01) for the three age groups, respectively. The peak intracellular [Ca2+] recorded at 40mV (in μM) was 15.7±0.12, 16.7±0.18 (ns), and 8.2±0.07 (p<0.01) for the three age groups, respectively. No significant changes in the voltage distribution or steepness of the Q-V or [Ca2+]-V relationship were found. These data support the concept that the reduction in the peak intracellular [Ca2+] results from a larger number of ryanodine receptors uncoupled to DHPRs in skeletal muscle fibers from aging mammals.

She hosted after-school sessions for students who wanted to work on their bridge designs.
The state pushes STEM teaching -- an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics -- and this design contest is all about analytical thinking, McElwain said.
Many students graduate from high school without the necessary skills to fill jobs, such as engineering skills, but programs like this competition can change that, she said.
"We have a shortage in our country for engineers and it's my job to get kids interested in engineering while they're young," McElwain said, standing in the center of the New River Gorge Bridge's catwalk. "We don't make them analyze enough, we don't prepare them to be engineers. . . . I would like to see more done in high schools to better prepare them, which means a higher level of math and science, and contests like this."
McElwain's daughter, Summer, 13, of Eastern Greenbrier Middle School, and her teammate, Kyra Lampert, 13, went to the final round of the Army-Navy Bridge Design Contest, which is exclusively for sixth- and seventh-grade students.
Lampert took more to the architect end of the design contest by drawing up each bridge sketch, while Summer McElwain drafted her teammate's concepts on the computer program.
Arch bridges -- like the one they examined Friday afternoon in person -- are the hardest to build, Lampert said.
"Sometimes, you can change the size of one bar or tube and it messes up the whole design," Summer McElwain said. "It's so cool, we get to see this bridge in person. It gives me ideas for next year's design using the computer program."
Jimmy Wriston, senior engineering adviser for the state Department of Transportation, said the West Virginia Statewide West Point Bridge Design Contest is one of the most important programs the state offers.
The Division of Highways spends its entire educational-outreach fund on the contest, he said.
Wriston has volunteered at each statewide contest by explaining to students why certain beams are necessary, how the bridge moves and more.
He said the bridge-building program is innovative and exciting for students.
"We've got to raise the bar on math and science, and this is the way to do it, to get them out of the classroom," Wriston said. "Using the computer to solve analytical problems that are in the real world -- there is no better model or example, and to come out and walk on this bridge is the real deal."
The top 20 West Virginia teams will compete in the statewide contest Saturday at Marshall University. Students will have two hours to create a virtual bridge that is the least expensive and most effective. While Bartusiak and Zinzuwadia won the national competition and the big prize, another West Virginia team could win first place Saturday for the statewide contest.
Every team member will get $100 for participating. First place takes home $400, while second place earns $300 and third gets $200.

A staple in my freezer
I defrost some in the microwave for a guilt-free snack.

lovely and sweet
I actually love grapes in this mix, it adds some sweetness to it. I tried it in a smoothie with some apple juice, banana and greek yoghurt - the taste was amazing, it tasted like a desert and was super healthy. I'll definitely order it again.

A favourite in our house
Yes, the blackcurrants are a tad sharp but that's what they are meant to taste like. We have this on top of cheesecake, as crumble or with yoghurt. 1 of the 5 a day from the freezer. Also, frozen grapes are yummy snack watching DVDs.

Tasty in smoothies, yet too many grapes.
I buy these along with the frozen raspberries for my smoothies. This pack is nice, however, like most on here, I feel there are far too many grapes and not enough cherries. It would be nice to see this remedied in order to reflect the quality I have come to expect from Waitrose.

And we, as designers — as the people who craft experiences — we have a profound responsibility to make every experience as beautiful, as comfortable, as painless, as empowering, and as delightful as possible.'
Upcoming talks
This year 2,500+ attendees will travel to Amsterdam for The Next Web Europe to discuss the latest web trends, learn about best business practices and meet the world's influencers of technology & innovation. I will be giving a keynote on the crucial role that experience design and open source play in the post-Snowden world.
I had the honour of presenting my talk on Superheroes & Villains in Design at Thinking Digital last year and I look forward to speaking at the beautiful Sage in Newcastle again this year. This time, I will be talking about how indie technology is the solution to corporate surveillance.
I present keynotes on experience design, privacy in the post-Snowden world, and indie technology. You can watch some of my talks online.
- Game Changer of the Year
for Indie Phone Vote now - Entrepreneur of the Year
for Indie Phone Vote now - Conference Talk of the Year
for Digital Feudalism and How to Avoid It Vote now
With Indie Phone we are building a phone to empower mere mortals to safeguard their privacy and avoid corporate surveillance. It is hugely encouraging to see our efforts being recognised with these nominations and in the media (Tech.eu recently said that we are one of the 50 most exciting lean hardware startups in Europe).
I would appreciate it if you could take a moment to vote for Indie and for myself in the above categories. Your votes are essential for Indie to make it to the finals. A win in any of the categories will help us to get further recognition for our cause to create a future where we enjoy privacy, civil liberties, and human rights.
Freedom can be beautiful.
I am an experience designer working to bring design thinking to open source to empower regular people to own their own data. The only way to achieve this goal is to create a new category of technology, what I call experience‐driven open technology, with the aim of making products that compete on user experience with the likes of Apple and Google in the consumer space. I've just launched Indie Phone to realise this goal.
I also sit on the board of directors of Code Club, a nonprofit enterprise that facilitates a nationwide network volunteer‐led after school coding clubs for children aged 9‐11. Volunteer today to help spark lifetimes of curiosity by teaching kids to code.

- RightsCon or a right con? Are folks in Silicon Valley genuinely ignorant of the relationship between corporate surveillance and government surveillance? Or is it wilful ignorance? Or is this just a textbook example of institutional corruption at work? Are the organisers of RightsCon actively supporting the whitewashing of a business model (monetising data/corporate surveillance) that is directly responsible for the dragnet government surveillance that we've been alerted to by Edward Snowden? Corporations like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are painting themselves as the victims when they are every bit the perpetrators and it appears that some of us are buying into their story hook, line, and sinker.
