Developed specifically for people with multiple chronic conditions, Guided Care is a new model of care that was designed to improve the quality of patients' care, reduce the use and cost of expensive services, reduce family caregiver strain, and improve physicians' satisfaction with chronic care delivery. At the heart of the intervention is a Guided Care Nurse who partners with the patient's primary care physician and completes a comprehensive assessment and care planning process, educates and empowers patients and families, monitors patients' conditions monthly, and coordinates the efforts of health care professionals, hospitals, and community agencies to be sure that no important health-related need slips through the cracks and that the patient's healthcare goals are met. This month on Key Feature, Jennifer Wolff, PhD, Associate Professor for the Department of Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, answers questions about Guided Care.
This webinar will explore some of the history of faith-based respite, as well as recent innovations. The webinar is sponsored by the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center through its Lifespan Respite Training and Technical Assistance Center that is funded by the US Administration on Aging. Participation is open to all.
Confirmed speakers include Carolyn Klaver, RN, Coordinator of the prize-winning respite program "The Gathering" for Lyngblomsten, and Wilfried C. Hoecke, director of the South Carolina Family to Family Health Information and Education Grant at Family Connection.

The U.S. Administration on Aging is announcing the availability of approximately $2.25 million for implementation of the requirements of the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006. These projects will enable states to establish, enhance or expand Lifespan Respite Care systems, including new and planned emergency respite services, training and recruitment of respite workers and volunteers and assist caregivers with gaining access to needed respite services.
Under the 2010 "Lifespan Respite Care Program" announcement, AoA will award approximately ten to fifteen grants to states with federal funding up to $200,000 each for three-year project periods. AoA will fund projects that propose to serve all eligible respite recipients, including family members, foster parents, or other adults providing unpaid care to adults needing care to meet basic daily needs or prevent injury and to children who require care beyond that required to meet their basic needs. Over the course of these projects, states will work to expand and enhance respite care services to family members; improve the statewide dissemination and coordination of respite care; and provide, supplement, or improve access and quality of respite care services to family caregivers, thereby reducing family caregiver strain.
This is a limited grant competition. Awards will only be made to eligible state agencies who: administer the states program under the Older Americans Act of 1965; or administer title XIX of the social Security Act; or are designated by the Governor of the state to administer the State's programs under this title who are an aging and disability resource center working in collaboration with a state respite coalition or organization, AND who are not currently funded under the Lifespan Respite Care Program.
The closing date for applications for this announcement is Monday, June 7, 2010. The deadline for submission of a letter of intent to apply for funding is Friday, May 7, 2010. Letters should be submitted by facsimile or e-mail to Greg Link at [email protected] or (202) 357-3558 (Fax). To learn more about this opportunity, please click here.
The U.S. Administration on Aging announced the availability of funds to states for the enhancement of supports and services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Through these grants states will have the opportunity to demonstrate how the New York University Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI), Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health Intervention (REACH II) and Savvy Caregiver Interventions, that help family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD), can be translated into effective programs at the community-level.
The deadline to apply is July 6, 2010. Letters of Intent, though not required, should be submitted by Friday, June 11, 2010 to [email protected] For more information, visit the website of the U.S. Administration on Aging.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently published Chronic Care: Making the Case for Ongoing Care, a 2010 update of its 2002 chartbook. It examines the impact of chronic conditions on individuals and their caregivers, as well as the inadequacies of the U.S. health care system to meet their needs. Authored by Gerard Anderson, Ph.D., the chartbook provides data on the prevalence of chronic conditions highlighting the rapid increase in the number of people with such conditions and explains the impact on the health care finance and delivery system.

The Alzheimer's Association recently released 2010 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures. This report provides U.S. data on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, including prevalence, mortality, lifetime risk, caregiving information, and use and costs of care and services. This 2010 report focuses on race, ethnicity and Alzheimer's disease. It reveals that, in 2009, there were nearly 11 million informal caregivers providing 12.5 billion hours of care, valued at $144 billion, to people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. For more information, visit: Alzheimer's Association.
An article in the February 2010 issue of Clinical Geriatrics (Volume 18, Number 2) examines Alzheimer's disease in ethnically diverse communities, with a focus on supporting family caregivers. The article emphasizes that physicians treating Alzheimer's patients should also pay attention to the needs of their caregivers, and it describes various interventions for improving caregiver well-being and reducing caregiver stress. To read "Supporting Caregivers in Ethnically Diverse Communities: Focus on Alzheimer's Disease" by Dr. Patrick Griffith, visit: Clinical Geriatrics.
Business Wire reports that a new research study by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and ComPsych Corporation reveals that "the demands of balancing a full-time job and caring for an injured or ill family member is a major source of stress for many Baby Boomers and is impacting their productivity and their health." The study, which surveyed ComPsych employees who had accessed the company's Employee Assistance Program, found that "younger Baby Boomers, ages 45 to 54, are carrying the largest burden of family care responsibilities, with more than half saying they've taken time off from work due to their caregiving responsibilities." The article offers recommendations to employers on how they can help relieve the pressure felt by working caregivers. For more information, visit: The Hartford.
In April, Genworth Financial released its 2010 Cost of Care Survey which reveals that the costs for all types of long-term care, including home and community-based care and residential care, have increased to varying degrees in recent years. The survey reports on the average rates of home care providers, adult day health care, assisted living facilities and nursing homes by region, state, and in many cases, metropolitan area. This year's report is one of the most extensive surveys of this type to date. It reveals that, overall, the cost of care among facility-based providers has steadily increased, while "non-skilled care"-related home care costs have remained relatively flat. For more information, visit: Genworth Financial.
The Campaign for Better Care recently released a survey that reveals that "most older adults, and particularly those with multiple chronic conditions, have experienced poor care coordination and a lack of information because their doctors aren't talking to each other or to them." The survey of adults age 50 and older finds that three in four respondents (74%) have wished that their doctors talked and shared information with each other. This issue impacts family caregivers, who are often the advocate and act as the care coordinator for adults with dementia or multiple chronic conditions. For more information, visit: Campaign for Better Care.
A new study released in May in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (Volume 58), tracked 229 couples when one was diagnosed with dementia and found that their spousal caregivers had a six times greater risk for developing dementia than for those couples without a diagnosis of dementia. The study did not look at why this might be happening but rather focused on the increased risk factor for developing dementia for spousal caregivers. Kathleen A Kelly, Executive Director, Family Caregiver Alliance, offers insight on the findings of this study in FCA's blog. To read the article visit: JAGS.

The first twelve Lifespan Respite grantees are off to a great start! This article highlights the primary activities of Alabama, Arizona and Illinois as they work to implement Lifespan Respite Care Programs in their states. The article also focuses on the roles of the state respite coalition/organization and the Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) in each project.
Lead Agency and Primary Collaborators AL Dept of Senior Services (ADSS), in partnership with the Alabama Lifespan Respite Resource Network (Alabama Respite), the Alabama Respite Coalition (Coalition), and the Alabama Disability Resource Centers (ADRC).
Main Activities The main activities of the Alabama Lifespan Respite program will initially be a statewide respite awareness public education campaign and resource development for family caregivers who do not qualify for respite assistance under any current federal or state program. ADSS plans to accomplish this though enhanced capacity of one of its primary collaborators, the Alabama Lifespan Respite Resource Network (Alabama Respite).
Alabama Respite's history is important because it is the foundation on which the AL Lifespan Respite Program will be built. The Network has been in existence since 2001, when the Alabama Council for Developmental Disabilities awarded a single-point of contact grant for respite services for caregivers of children with disabilities up to age 19 to United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Huntsville and Tennessee Valley, Inc. UCP convened a task force of over 45 caregivers, disability organizations, churches, and state agencies to develop a directory of respite services in Alabama. The first step for the taskforce was the development of a strategic plan, from which a project management plan emerged. The project was called Alabama Respite Resource Network. A respite resource directory was produced, a toll free number for caregivers was initiated, and a web site was developed that allowed county-by-county access to all known resources (www.alabamarespite.org).
In 2003, the project expanded to cover all ages and disabilities and became known as the Alabama Lifespan Respite Network. In 2006, state funding allowed Alabama Respite to provide voucher respite. Alabama Respite is currently administering over $100,000 in funding from the state Department of Mental Health to offer voucher respite to children and adults with developmental disabilities and/or intellectual disabilities, as well as funding from the Children's Trust Fund of Alabama. The initial Task Force, which met for several years to conduct oversight of the project, has largely disbanded, but in 2009, the state legislature established the Alabama Respite Coalition and appointed the members of the Coalition. The Alabama Respite Coalition also assists with the Lifespan Respite project.
The primary goal of Alabama's current federally funded Lifespan Respite Program is to provide a statewide, comprehensive, and coordinated approach to meet the respite care needs of Alabama family caregivers of individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions regardless of age, income, race, ethnicity, special needs, or situation. To accomplish this goal, the program is 1) planning a respite awareness public education campaign statewide for caregivers, agencies, and the general public; 2) undertaking new local and state grant possibilities, grant collaboration between partners, and resource development for gap populations to increase respite services; 3) enhancing the capacity of the Alabama Respite; 4) identifying all agencies and resources currently providing respite funding and linking caregivers to them; and 5) identifying all caregiver training programs and linking caregivers to these resources.
State Respite Coalition Role The State Respite Coalition was established by the state law in 2009, and includes legislatively mandated members from the state legislature, the Governor's Office on Disability, the Dept of Senior Services and other state agencies, the Children's Trust Fund, the Council for Developmental Disabilities, as well as representatives from a UCP affiliate, a state advocacy or support group, a training partner, a community respite initiative, two family caregivers, two respite providers, the Autism Society, Hospice, Home Health, and Research and Grant Support. The Coalition formed three workgroups (education and training of providers and caregivers; capacity building; and state databases) to assist with program planning and implementation and will be working collaboratively with all Coalition partners to recruit and train respite care workers and volunteers.
Aging and Disability Resource Center Role One of the objectives of the state program is to expand the training and capacity of the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) staff and the statewide virtual ADRC, known as Alabama Connect, to include lifespan respite resources. All ADRC staff will be trained on respite issues and the resource of Alabama Respite for families. Alabama Connect will house the Alabama Lifespan Respite Network website, but Alabama Respite will remain the point of contact for families.

Lead Agency and Primary Collaborators: AZ Dept of Economic Security, Division of Aging and Adult Services (ADES-DAAS), in partnership with aging network, disability community, AZ Caregiver Coalition, and AZ State University.
Main Activities The Arizona Lifespan Respite Program grant project will continue to develop the Arizona Lifespan Respite Care Program (LRCP), which was established by state statute in 2007, and provide public awareness related to the value and importance of respite care across the lifespan throughout the state. The program is working to expand the reach of the LRCP to include all caregivers that could benefit from respite care, including caregivers of the aging population, individuals with disabilities, and children with special needs.
One major activity is the finalization and implementation of a new Caregiver Assessment Tool (CAT) developed by Arizona State University. The CAT was originally developed as part of the state funded LRCP in 2008. The proposed pilot program for the CAT would utilize Older Americans Act, Title III-E (National Family Caregiver Support Program) funding to support respite care provision for caregivers assessed with the new CAT. The new assessment tool is currently being used in four area agency on aging (AAA) regions, and has gathered data on over 80 caregivers from the III-E funded pilot program.
The second major activity will involve respite service delivery through selected AAAs to 85 caregivers from two specifically targeted populations of caregivers. The first targeted population is caregivers of children with special needs. This will allow the AAAs to continue to make the connections needed to serve these caregivers and will help solidify emerging partnerships that have been developed as part the Arizona Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). ADES-DAAS offered a funding opportunity in February 2010, and recently awarded $75,000 to the AAA in Maricopa County to begin respite service delivery on July 1, with the goal of expanding to other AAAs as funding allows.
Caregivers identified in a new referral process being developed in conjunction with Adult Protective Services (APS) will provide a second specific population of caregivers that will be targeted by this project. Initial meetings were held in February with staff from APS and leaders of the Lifespan Respite Care Network (LRCN) to lay the groundwork for the referral protocols to be used to identify caregivers at risk of becoming involved in abusive situations. The development of the data sharing agreements necessary for APS caseworkers to refer caregivers to the LRCP partners is the next step in the development process.
The third major component of the Arizona LRCP grant project is the development of a public awareness campaign about lifespan respite and the establishment of a toll-free statewide Caregiver Hotline to provide caregivers across Arizona a simple way to find out about and access supportive services, including respite. This hotline will eventually become embedded as part of AZ Links, the Arizona ADRC project. A public relations company will be hired for the awareness campaign and a volunteer coordinator will be hired to guide the development of the statewide hotline. The hotline's design will resemble the volunteer hotline for the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and is being designed with SHIP's assistance.
State Respite Coalition Role The Lifespan Respite Care Network (LRCN) is a working group of the AZ Caregiver Coalition and functions as the designated state respite coalition. The LRCN will be responsible for volunteer coordination of the respite hotline and serve as a forum for stakeholders while continuing its advocacy role in pursuit of state funding and support. Area Agencies on Aging and community partners within the disability community will work in conjunction with volunteers from the Arizona Caregiver Coalition to develop a database of statewide caregiver-specific resources that will be used to provide information and referral to caregivers calling the hotline.
Aging and Disability Resource Center Role The Arizona Aging and Disability Resource Center, known as AZ Links, will eventually house the toll-free statewide Caregiver Hotline. The ADRC will also have a role in providing outreach as part of the statewide public awareness campaign.

Lead agency and primary collaborators: The Illinois Department on Aging is implementing this three-year Lifespan Respite project in collaboration with the Illinois Respite coalition and other state and private organizations.
Major Activities The goal of the project is to improve respite care access to all populations by establishing a centralized, comprehensive statewide listing of respite services; developing coordinated referral processes; and training respite providers and volunteers. The state agency, in collaboration with the state respite coalition, is undertaking the following activities to achieve this goal: 1) creating a respite website listing of all resources and training by geographic location; 2) providing respite services; 3) improving collaboration among state agencies that provide funding for respite services; 4) training caregivers and volunteers; 5) creating a statewide respite task force; 6) creating a statewide 800 respite number; 7) providing technical assistance and training materials for replication of the project; 8) creating a public awareness campaign; and 9) evaluating the effectiveness of the project.
To date, the project has hired a program assistant, who is collecting and reviewing training programs from multiple organizations and agencies that will be added to website resources. The project set aside a portion of its funding to provide emergency respite vouchers, and in collaboration with the state respite coalition, developed a survey to identify respite providers who provide emergency respite services.
A Statewide Respite Task Force was convened. Key state agency personnel, caregivers, respite providers, ADRCs, and Area Agencies on Aging were invited to participate in the first Task Force meeting via conference call on January 14, 2010. Participating state agencies included the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA), the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). Other entities included the Illinois4A (Area Agencies on Aging), represented by the President of the association, the ADRC, and the Illinois Respite Coalition (IRC). Participants received background information on the Lifespan Respite Act and the goal and objectives of the grant, and then were asked to provide an overview of the respite services their agency/organization offers or funds. The second meeting of the Respite Task Force was held in Springfield, Illinois on April 21, 2010. Task Force participants will review the respite survey and provide feedback, and a spreadsheet depicting respite programs and funding streams offered through state agencies will be developed by the Program Assistant.
The project began its Public Awareness Campaign with the development and distribution of a press release announcing the Lifespan Respite Care Grant award to the Illinois Department on Aging. The Program Director has attended and updated several statewide committees including the Long Term Care Advisory Council and the Older Adult Services Advisory Committee.
Illinois Respite Coalition Role The state lead agency, through bimonthly meetings with the Illinois Respite Coalition (IRC), is working to identify training modules and resources; using the coalition web site as one-stop-shop for statewide training information; and establishing an 800-number to be maintained by the Respite Coalition.
The IRC is expanding its website to centralize respite services for caregivers and providers. To date, they have added to the site a calendar of events and a listing of IRC sponsored training opportunities. IRC surveyed its membership for additional agency-sponsored training and events and have posted those as well. The Coalition will also conduct quarterly trainings to recruit new providers.
A research project is underway to determine which agencies have an 800 number or hotline, how the lines are being used, and their effectiveness in assisting callers. The State Respite Task Force will assist in the assessment of existing 800 numbers and provide input to the Coalition on the development of a new 800 number dedicated to respite resource and referral.
To improve collaboration among state agencies, the Illinois Respite Coalition held its Annual Statewide Respite Summit in Springfield, Illinois on April 22, 2010, following the second meeting of the Statewide Respite Task Force. As part of the public awareness campaign, the Illinois Respite Coalition is reviewing several templates that will assist in the design of a new respite brochure.
ADRC role The three pilot ADRCS in the state will assist with outreach and information dissemination.

From Erin's album "No Place So Far" a lovely and meaningful mother/daughter song. Erin wrote the song with her own daughters in mind. Though I am a man myself and have not experienced the maternal emotions expressed in this song, I have witnessed them firsthand, both by observing my wife and other mothers around me. Pretty simple message here: hold on to Jesus, and He'll hold on to you. Good advice, Mom!

An Academic Calendar is available for each semester with important dates, including the tuition due date which is different for each semester. Additional due dates are as follows:
2. When will I get my bill?
Your printed Schedule of Classes is also your Tuition Bill. The Total Amount Due is located at the bottom of the page along with any Pending Financial Aid Award that you may have at that time.
How you receive your bill depends on your method of registration as follows:
NOTE: Your Tuition Bill is your only bill . While the College mails courtesy reminder statements to students who register well in advance of the semester tuition due date, receipt of a courtesy statement for students who register less than a month from the semester due date cannot be guaranteed.
3. How do I pay my bill?
There are a variety of convenient payment methods. For complete information visit Methods of Payment or click on "Methods of Payment" on your MyNCC Tuition Schedule/Bill.
4. What do I do if I cannot pay my tuition in full by the tuition due date?
NCC makes a payment plan available that spreads your total balance due over the semester. Click on the link for more information regarding the NCC tuition payment plan.
5. I am expecting financial aid. Do I need to make any payment?
In order to have a financial aid award decision prior to the tuition due date, students must submit all required financial aid applications, forms and additional documentation requested by the following priority deadlines:
Fall - March 31 (Award will be for the Fall/Spring Academic Year)
Spring - October 1 (Award will be for the Spring Semester only)
Students who apply for financial aid after the priority deadline may NOT have an award decision in time for the semester tuition due date and are responsible for making payment in full or enrolling in the Tuition Payment Plan by the tuition due date. See the Financial Aid website for additional information.
6. My plans have changed and I am no longer going to attend. What do I need to do?
If your plans have changed and you are already registered for classes, you MUST formally drop your classes online through MyNCC -OR- in writing with the Records Office. Failure to formally notify the College of your withdrawal may cause you to be responsible for your tuition and fee charges and cause you to receive an "F" grade for unsatisfactory attendance .
7. I applied for financial aid--why did I receive a bill?
You may have received a bill for several reasons:
8. My company is paying my bill, can NCC bill them?
If your company will pay upon invoice, NCC will accept a purchase order (PO) from them, no later than 2 weeks prior to your class start date.
The PO must contain your name, items covered (tuition, fees, books) and amount authorized.
If your company requires you to complete the course or submit a grade before paying the bill, NCC will not accept the PO--you will need to pay the bill and submit it to your company for reimbursement directly to you.
9. My financial aid award is greater than my semester bill, can I use the excess amount of my aid for books?
Please visit Financial Aid Payments for additional information.
10. Can I use my excess aid for anything else?
YES - you can use your excess aid award to pay for child care services or you can apply it to a future semester balance. Aid must be awarded -- click here for more information or stop by the bursar's office or the Monroe office to discuss your options. You will need to sign an authorization form to give NCC permission to use your funds as requested.
11. What happens to my excess financial aid?
Any credit balance on your account after books are purchased will be refunded approximately 4 - 5 weeks after the semester start date. Click on the link for more information regarding financial aid refunds .
12. I enrolled in the tuition payment plan because my financial aid was not awarded by the tuition due date. What will happen after my financial aid is awarded?
If your aid award is enough to pay the balance due in full, NCC will close your tuition payment plan account and you will not owe any additional payments. Any credit balance (overpayments and/or excess financial aid) will be refunded to you. If your award decreases the total balance due, your payment plan budget will be recalculated and you will receive new payment coupons in the mail.
DO NOT STOP making your tuition payment plan payments until you are notified that your plan has either been closed or you receive new coupons in the mail. Your payments are due until we adjust your plan. Failing to make the required payments will result in your being assessed a late charge.
13. My payment plan payments are due on the 1st of each month, what happens if my payment arrives late?
NCC will assess a late payment fee of $25 per late payment (each month) if your payment is not received by the 1st of each month.
14. Can I pay my payment plan monthly payment at NCC?
You may drop your payment in the Main Campus drop box located outside the main entrance to the Student Enrollment Center. Please enclose your payment and your payment coupon in a sealed envelope. Payments dropped in without a coupon will delay posting and may subject you to a late fee. NCC is not responsible for cash dropped in the box. Payments cannot be accepted at the Bursar's Office counters.
If you are on the tuition payment plan, your payments must be sent to the address on your payment coupon. If you send your payment to the incorrect address, your payment posting may be delayed and you may be subject to a late payment fee.
15. I dropped one or more of my courses during the refund period, are my charges adjusted?
If you drop during one of the published refund periods, tuition and fee charges are adjusted according to the percentage of refund at the time you drop. You are refunded the percentage of tuition and fees charged, not payments received. Some fees are nonrefundable.
If you have a credit balance after your drop is processed and any financial aid is adjusted, a refund will be processed to you in approximately 2 weeks through Higher One.
If you are on the tuition payment plan, your plan budget will be adjusted and new coupons mailed to you if your monthly payment changes. Adjustments are done once per month so you must continue to make your scheduled payment until you receive new coupons. Contact the Bursar's Office for additional information or if you have not received revised coupons.
16. I dropped a course(s) after the refund period, what do I owe to NCC?
Courses dropped after the refund period will be handled as a Withdrawal and you will not be eligible for any adjustment or refund of tuition and fees. Any balance remaining on your account, after the withdrawal, is due in full.
17. I dropped my course(s), why do I still owe money?
While NCC makes the decision of whether or not to run each class based on the number of students registered in each class at the beginning of the semester, we understand that your situation may change. Our refund policy allows you to drop your course during the first three weeks and receive partial credit. Your tuition and fee charges are adjusted according to this refund policy.
If you drop your course during the refund period, you will get the stated % refund of tuition and fees charges. Some fees are nonrefundable.
After the refund period, you are responsible for 100% of the balance due, since you reserved a seat in the class that cannot be filled by another student.
18. What are the institutional fees for?
The institutional fees on your bill include the Comprehensive Fee, Technology Fee and for students who are out-of-county, a Capital fee. For an explanation of these fees, click here and scroll down to Institutional Fees.
19. Why am I paying extra course fees?
Certain courses or sections require additional materials or computer license fees. NCC charges the cost of these materials or fees only to the students who use them. Courses/sections charging these fees will have the fee listed in the semester class schedule. Some fees are nonrefundable after the session start.
20. I have a hold on my account. What do I do?
Contact the office who placed the hold on your account to find out what it is for. If you are not sure which office to contact, you are welcome to contact the bursar's office and we will be happy to provide an explanation or direct you to the appropriate office. If the hold is a financial hold, you will need to satisfy the financial obligation before the hold is lifted.
21. I am on a payment plan for the current semester, but there is a hold on my account. Why?
If you are on a payment plan and have a hold, your final payment was not received on time. Until your payment is received by NCC, the hold will remain in effect.
If you have not made your final payment, you may pay a final payment in full to NCC, but any late payment charges owed will still be due and payable.
You may not register for a future semester or receive grades until you have satisfied all financial obligations for the current semester.
22. Can I get student insurance through NCC?
Please visit Health Insurance for additional information.
23. I have developed a serious medical illness/ injury during the semester and cannot continue attending classes. What do I do?
If you are a current student and are unable to continue your classes due to a serious illness or injury, you must contact the record's office and ask for an Application for Medical Tuition Credit . You must withdraw from all of your classes at the time you submit the application. Your application will explain what you need to do to apply for medical credit.
If your request is approved, you will receive a tuition credit that can be used within one year. The amount of the credit will be based on your student account balance at the time of application.
If your application is denied, you will be responsible for payment of any unpaid balance due for the current semester.

About Lauren Alaina
Alaina goes 'Barefoot and Buckwild' (Updated August 22, 2013)
No doubt, it was a big deal for Lauren Alaina to graduate in May 2013 from Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School. But the country starlet already has that milestone in the rearview mirror as she prepares to release her next album.
It was all the way back in September 2012 that Alaina announced she had been writing and reviewing songs for her next project. By January, she had posted on her Twitter account that she had started recording for that sophomore album. Four months later came the release of a track called "Barefoot and Buckwild," which debuted at No. 34 on the Hot Country Songs chart and failed to climb. Still, the lack of success hasn't deterred her in any way.
To celebrate her 18th birthday on November 8, Alaina embarked on an 18-city tour in support of her song "Eighteen Inches." She also teamed up with local charities and the Special Olympics to donate a portion of each sale of her limited edition "18-City Inch-By-Inch Tour" t-shirt. Fans who couldn't make it out to a show were able to purchase that t-shirt and other merchandise straight from Alaina's website.
Riding a tour bus around the country wasn't the only big move for the star. She recently moved out of her home state of Georgia in order to lay roots in Nashville. It was a choice she made conscious of the fact she'll be surrounded by music industry elite to continue advancing her career.
If we have to guess, fans are going to be going "Barefoot and Buckwild" for Lauren Alaina for a very long time.
About Lauren Alaina
A cynic might say that second place is the first loser, but don't tell that to American Idol season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina. She released her debut album, "Wildflower," on October 11, 2011 through 19/Interscope/Mercury Nashville , juggling the American Idols Live! Tour while recording tracks for the project in three major cities. It was the type of pressure that artists twice her age might've buckled under, but Alaina handled the whirlwind and her newfound fame like a pro.
The country format was never a question for the teen, who tackled songs like Sara Evans' "Born to Fly," Idol veteran Carrie Underwood's "Flat on the Floor," and Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance," during the TV competition. The lead single to her album, "Like My Mother Does," peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Country Digital Songs chart and No. 36 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The follow-up, "Georgia Peaches," climbed to No. 28, a respectable debut for a talent as young and as raw as Alaina.
The Georgia native has been living life on the road since leaving Idol behind. She was selected to open for Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party tour to kick off 2012, then was picked up by Sugarland for a select number of dates on their In the Hands of the Fans tour. On June 16 she headlined the final show of Riverbend, a music festival in her hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

2012 – Nicki Baker, University of Kentucky
Superfund Research Program
Nicki Baker is the fifteenth recipient of the annual Karen Wetterhahn Memorial Award. The award was presented on October 23, 2012, at the Superfund Research Program (SRP) Annual Meeting hosted by the University of North Carolina and Duke University in Raleigh, North Carolina. The SRP acknowledged Baker for her contributions to research on how environmental toxins impact obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Baker is a doctoral student under the guidance of Lisa Cassis, Ph.D., in the Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences at the University of Kentucky. She earned her B.S. in Civil Engineering from Michigan State University. As an undergraduate, she worked full-time for a private engineering firm, and then with the Superfund Unit of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. After college, she worked for a large, corporate civil engineering firm to design and inspect major infrastructure public works projects. She then decided to pursue and obtain a one-year culinary degree because of her passion for cooking. She was led to the Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences at the University of Kentucky because of her love for scientific research and her interest in how the environment affects the food we eat.
Baker's work has brought novel insight into how environmental toxins, namely co-planar PCBs, impact human health. Her work focuses on how PCB exposure may blunt the beneficial effects of weight loss to prevent insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. She showed that when obese mice experienced weight loss, those exposed previously to PCBs lost the benefit of improved glucose homeostasis, reducing the impact of weight loss in preventing type 2 diabetes. Her research has also demonstrated that dietary polyphenol and resveratrol may protect against PCB-induced impairment of glucose homeostasis.
Baker also serves as an adjunct instructor at the Bluegrass Community and Technical College in Lexington, Kentucky, teaching Human Nutrition and Human Ecology. Through her lectures, she strives to increase interest in nutrition and its ability to influence health and disease. She is also a mentor to undergraduates studying the effects of Superfund chemicals on adipocytes.
"Nicki knows what she wants to achieve, and as a result, works diligently and responsibly in all aspects of her project," said Cassis. "On her own initiative, she is serving as a role model for future scientists studying environmental chemicals."
The NIEHS congratulates Baker on her accomplishments and wishes her continued success in her career.

YouTube makes it easier to link to Google+
YouTube began gently prodding all users operating under nicknames like cutepuppies99 and origamiboys1981 to start using their real names last July. It did this by urging them to hook their Google Plus profiles up with their YouTube channel and therefore, by default, they'd have to use their real names.
Now, the video service is letting users keep their anonymous name but is still giving them the option of linking to their Google+ page. It's even giving people the option of changing their Google+ name to match their YouTube channel identity.

Hey every one, I have been surfing a few times in cornwall whilst on family holidays (but not for every long, and I wasn't very good!) However I did really enjoy it!
I remember reading somewhere that if you go at the right time, and know the right spot you can surf on the east coast, of the UK?
Is it true, if so where! AND if anyone has done it- can you hire boards anywhere, and does anyone give lessons!

Will Mahesh Babu reap gold on Sankranti 2014, again?
Chennai, Aug 13 : Following the overwhelming success of Mahesh Babu-starrer Telugu family-drama "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu" (SVSC), which was released during Sankranthi this year, the makers of "1: Nenokkadine" are set to release the film during the same time next year.
"1: Nenokkadine" will hit the screens Jan 10 next year, confirmed the production house 14 Reels Entertainment on its Twitter page.
Directed by Sukumar, it also features debutante Kriti Shanon, Kelly Dorjee, Sayaji Shinde, Vikram Singh, Srinivasa Reddy, Nassar and Pradeep Rawat.
The film is currently being shot in London and other parts of Britain.
Mahesh's SVSC, which released on Jan 11 2013, went on to reportedly mint over Rs.50 crore at the box-office. It still remains one of the biggest hits of the year so far.
Despite the release of Ram Charan's Telugu action-thriller "Naayak" along with SVSC, the fate of the latter was not affected at the box-office.
However, during 2014 Sankranti, Mahesh is likely to lock horns with three other big-budget films such as Jr. NTR's "Rabhasa", Balakrishna-starrer "Ruler" and S.S Rajamouli's "Baahubali".

Each summer, the Claremont Institute brings together for a few weeks some of the best and brightest young conservatives in America. These Publius Fellows meet each day with Claremont Institute Senior Fellows and with distinguished visiting scholars to study American political thought and American politics. In both intensive daily seminars and relaxed and lively evening symposia, fellows discuss with public-spirited compatriots a treasure-trove of great American readings-from the Founding to the Civil War, the Progressive Era, the New Deal, the Great Society, the Reagan years, and the critical disputes between liberalism and conservatism in our time. Throughout their stay, fellows also work with editors and writers of The Claremont Review of Books to cultivate the American art of political writing.
Those accepted to the program are usually college seniors, recent college graduates, or graduate students, who will likely distinguish themselves in the fields of scholarship, journalism, or public policy. The two-week fellowship includes a $1000 stipend, travel expenses, lodging, and meals. This year's program will be held in Rancho Mirage, California, from July 1 to July 15.
The 2005 Publius Fellows:
Karin Agness is a senior at the University of Virginia completing a degree in American Studies. She is the founder of the Network of Enlightened Women, an organization which fosters the education and leadership of conservative university women. She is also a columnist for The Virginia Advocate. She has interned in the office of Senator Lugar and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington D.C. and participated in several political campaigns. After graduation Karin intends to pursue a law degree.
Teresa Mia Bejan is currently completing a year at Oxford studying Philosophy and Politics. She is a University Scholar at the University of Chicago and will graduate as a member of Phi Beta Kappa in 2006. After graduation, Teresa will continue her study of political theory and pursue an academic career as a professor and political essayist.
Duncan Currie is currently a reporter for the Weekly Standard magazine, where he has, over the past year, written on such diverse topics as Cuban politics, the 2004 election, missile defense, and U.S.-Japan relations. He graduated from Harvard University in 2004 with a B.A. in American History. Mr. Currie has also worked at National Review magazine and the Manhattan Institute.
Ethan Davis will graduate this year from Amherst College with a degree in Political Science, for which he has completed an honors thesis on Alexander Hamilton. He has worked with Justice Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and with Representative Bill Thomas. Mr. Davis has also served as an editorial page intern with the Washington Times, and with the Governor Jeb Bush reelection campaign. Ethan intends to pursue either law school or a career in political journalism.
Lawrence VanDyke recently completed his final year at Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review, editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and Advisor to the Executive Board of the Harvard Law School Federalist Society. He was also a 2003 Blackstone Fellow with the Alliance Defense Fund. For several years prior to that, he was Vice President of his family's Montana-based construction company. Mr. VanDyke also holds a M.A. in Construction Engineering Management, a B.S. of Civil Engineering, and a Bachelors in Theology. He has plans to begin with the Washington, D.C. office of the Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher law firm in the fall of 2005, but in the long term is interested in a federal or state public service career.
Thomas Meaney has written for The New Criterion, The New York Sun, the Toronto Globe and Mail, Commentary Magazine, and The Claremont Review of Books. He also writes regularly for the Los Angeles Times Book Review, and has worked at the New York Times Review of Books.

Charles has since been active in politics, appearing on a number of television media shows and in major newspapers, including as vice-chairman of the Young Conservatives of Pennsylvania and an intern at the Heritage Foundation. Mr. Mitchell is currently a program officer at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
Steven Muscatello is currently a Center for Legal and Judicial Studies intern with the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., where has written on intrusive government regulation.

He has contributed to the forthcoming Encyclopedia of the New American Nation, authoring entries for almanacs and holidays. Patrick also served as a press secretary for a Massachusetts congressional campaign during the summer of 2004. Besides his academic work, Patrick is the founder and CEO of Conservative Condiments, which in 2004 produced the novelty political item, Bush Country Ketchup.

anyone weld around kalamazoo for beer?
I need a couple quick things welded. My rear seat brackets need to be welded. The previous owner removed them and broke the bolts off in the tub. I dont care to extract them and do not plan on removing the brackets. I also need a patch of steel welded to the bumper where the swing out hinge is located to strengthen it.
I have them cleaned up and ready if someone would be willing to take a half hour to hit the spots. I will buy a case of beer of your choice or work something out money wise. Looking in kalamazoo area. thanks |

Upgraded Wi-Fi Deployment to work in unison with 4G LTE Distributed Antenna System to Provide Enhanced Wireless Experience for Carolina Panther Fans
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America Stadium has upgraded its Wi-Fi system to enhance the mobile experience for fans during games and events. The 74,000+ seat venue is equipped with more than 645 Wi-Fi access points to provide more seamless Wi-Fi coverage throughout the venue. The new installation is a part of AT&T's* continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced wireless devices and services.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120612/DA23287LOGO)
"Panthers fans are increasingly sharing game time experiences from their wireless devices," said Panthers President Danny Morrison. "They're uploading photos, posting videos, and surfing the web for in-game, real time updates. Wireless technology has enhanced how Panthers fans enjoy game day, and this Wi-Fi upgrade makes the digital interaction even more seamless."
Panthers fans are taking advantage of the upgraded Wi-Fi system's increased capacity. So far during the 2013 season, fans at Bank of America Stadium exchanged 1.9 million MB of data on the Wi-Fi system, 50 percent more than during the same timeframe last year. This is equivalent to approximately 3,900 hours of streaming HD video.
Through the first six home games of the Carolina Panthers 2013 season, cellular data on the in-stadium DAS has increased by more than 90 percent in comparison to the first six home games of the 2012 season.
"We are looking at things differently now. As connectivity in stadiums across the country becomes a rapidly growing priority we are deploying both Wi-Fi and DAS networks to support that need," said Cristy Swink, AT&T's vice president/general manager for Mobility and Consumer Markets in the Mid Atlantic. "The Carolina Panthers were looking to make that investment to provide Wi-Fi and enhanced coverage at Bank of America Stadium. It's just one of the ways we're investing in North Carolina."
On December 7, Global Wireless Solutions (GWS), a leading independent benchmarking solutions vendor for the wireless industry, tested mobile coverage at the ACC Championship Game and found that AT&T offered the fastest 4G LTE network experience of any mobile provider at Bank of America Stadium. The results found that AT&T offered the fastest average 4G LTE upload speeds and the fastest average 4G LTE download speeds. GWS also found that AT&T delivered more than 99% LTE accessibility at the venue.**
AT&T Wi-Fi will be available throughout the bowl and concourses, so fans can now enjoy a fully engaged game day experience. With the boost in AT&T Wi-Fi connectivity fans can enjoy events even more with real-time stats, social networking and venue information. AT&T also improved cellular network service through the completed installation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) in 2012. DAS technology helps improve the mobile Internet experience by shortening the distance a request must travel. The additional capacity also is expected to help improve call reliability, boost data traffic capacity, and enable more consistent network access to help customers make the most of their AT&T devices.
These investments help to ensure that North Carolina residents continue to enjoy the best possible experience over the AT&T network, whether at home, at work or on the go. The great performance of AT&T's 4G LTE network continues to be validated:
In addition, the AT&T wireless network was recently ranked 1st for the second-consecutive time in Charlotte by RootMetrics®, an independent mobile analytics firm. AT&T was named the RootMetrics RootScore® Combined Award winner in July and September 2013 for its overall call, text and data performance. ******
Across Charlotte and North Carolina, AT&T's 2013 investments have resulted in expansion and enhancement of our 4G LTE network, which provides ultra-fast speeds. AT&T 4G LTE is now available in more than 20 North Carolina markets, including Charlotte. AT&T invested more than $250 million in its wireless and wired networks in North Carolina in the first half of 2013, building on more than $1.5 billion it invested in its North Carolina wireless and wired networks from 2010 through 2012.
Nationwide, more than 225 million Americans have access to AT&T 4G LTE service. By year-end 2013, AT&T expects to cover nearly 270 million people and 400 markets with its 4G LTE network.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network******* including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 461,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements.

Governor John Kasich calls his budget and economic policies 'the Ohio Miracle.' The liberal organization, Innovation Ohio Education Fund, calls it a mirage.
That's in reaction to new figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that show only 16,000 jobs were created in Ohio between June of 2012 and June of 2013. Ohio ranked 47th in job growth in the country during that period. Only Maine, Wyoming and Alaska had poorer growth.
"Tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy, coupled with huge budget cuts for schools and local governments [that] just result in local tax increases with local levies is not a recipe for long-term economic success," said Dale Butland of the Innovation Ohio Education Fund.
Butland's group goes on to point out that of the 139,000 jobs created in Ohio since Kasich became governor, 123,000 came during his first 18 months in office. Just 16,000 jobs have been created since then.
"We need to start cutting taxes to middle class people to increase demand, because [businesses] - large or small – [aren't] going to hire new workers unless they're confident their customers will buy enough goods and services to cover the cost of those new workers," he said.
But Republican State Representative Barbara Sears says numbers can be twisted and that's what the Education Fund is doing with the Labor Statistics figures.
"I actually think what we're doing in the area of taxes is being very supportive to not only job growth, but improving Ohioans as far as having more disposable income and doing things they're not in the position to do," Sears said.

Fashion Week Makeup: Get the Look
Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance
We gave you the lowdown on the latest collection from Susan Woo this season. To mirror the stunning clothes, the models wore a perfect makeup palette embodying spring. Backstage, Tina Turnbow, lead makeup artist for Tarte has created the flawless look.
For an effortless, fresh face, achieve the look in three steps: a dewy complexion, kohl-rimmed eyes, and natural lips. After applying your tinted moisturizer, sweep cheeks with cheek stain Dollface. For the smoky-eye look that works all day long, line your eyes with a kohl liner, and smudge with empasEYES waterproof shadow/liner in charcoal to add depth at the lash line. Curl lashes and add several coats of mascara, then brush brows in an upward motion. Finish with a swipe of new LipSurgence, a natural mint-flavored lip stain.
We had the opportunity to sample the LipSurgence in "amused," a wonderfully bright fuschia shade. We can vouch that it adds just the right amount of color to your face without rubbing off on your wine glass.

I'm Still Skeptical: "Time Traveler" With Cell Phone Spotted In 1928 Charlie Chaplin Flick
Allegedly a guy was watching Charlie Chaplin's 1928 silent film 'The Circus' and spotted a woman in a scene walking by talking on a cell phone. I watched the footage myself, and I'm skeptical to say the least. Guy is a crazy conspiracy-theorist to say a little more. Guy should be locked in a secret government facility and violated by aliens to say too much.
This short film is about a piece of footage I (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film 'The Circus'. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA - the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device - talking as she walks alone.
I have studied this film for over a year now - showing it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what she is doing.My only theory - as well as many others - is simple... a time traveler on a mobile phone. See for yourself and feel free to leave a comment on your own explanation or thoughts about it.
Jesus, Sherlock Holmes is probably spinning in his grave. Check it -- I've got a much simpler (and correcter) explanation, and it goes like this: women, by nature, are talkers. And -- given nobody else to talk to, will even talk to themselves. This woman's probably having a make-believe convo with a shoe or makeup case. BOOM, case closed. Now, meet me at the bar for some real time-traveling (sorry, future trips only).
Hit the jump for two videos, the first of which has guy babbling about it for awhile, the second of which cuts straight to the chase.
Thanks to the TOASTer, who better stop burning my f***ing bread.

UNESCO had a very strong presence during this event, based on the request and generosity of the Omani hosts. UNESCO's Director General gave a presentation in the opening ceremony. Numerous staff from headquarters was present, and all of them actively participated with oral contributions. The uniqueness of this event was to support biodiversity conservation with the involvement of cultural rapprochement, especially young people, as well as via education for sustainable development.
Message from Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of International Mother Language Day, 21 February 2011
All languages are linked through their origins and borrowing, but each is a unique source of meaning for understanding, writing and expressing reality. Mother languages are special in providing the material with which the world is first voiced, the lens through which it is first understood. International Mother Language Day is a moment to recognize their importance and to mobilise for multilingualism and linguistic diversity.
Ministry of Culture organizes a workshop about Qatar cultural heritage in partnership with the UNESCO

Owner defends Grizzlies' trades, commitment to win |
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Grizzlies' new owner is defending the trade of his team's leading scorer and other moves to dump salary, saying he believes they can do some "serious damage'' in the playoffs with the changes.
Robert Pera took part in a web chat Friday with Memphis' season ticket holders along with chief executive officer Jason Levien, and Pera's first question was about whether the new ownership group has the financial ability to run the team.
Pera hadn't spoken publicly since taking over the team Nov. 5. He wrote that NBA teams have won titles with superstars and that history shows teams can win without a superstar.
The Grizzlies traded three players and a first-round draft pick to Cleveland last week and sent Rudy Gay to Toronto in a three-team trade Wednesday.

The Dominion of India (Hindi: भारत अधिराज्य, Bhārata Adhirājya) was a predecessor to modern-day India and an independent state that existed between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950. It was transformed into the Republic of India by the promulgation of the Constitution of India on 26 January 1950.
Strictly speaking, the Dominion of Pakistan was created by partitioning it from British India (British Raj). British India was succeeded by the Dominion of India on 15 August 1947. It is therefore technically incorrect to say that British India was partitioned into two independent India and Pakistan: the Dominion of India was a successor-state of British India while Pakistan was formerly a part of it. This is how the United Nations treated the new independent India (as a successor-state), while the newly created Pakistan had to re-apply membership into the United Nations. The Dominion of India was created by the Indian Independence Act 1947, enacted by the British parliament.
George VI was made king of India (the head of state) and was represented by the governor-general. However, the governor-general was not also designated viceroy, as had been customary under the British Raj. Two governors-general held office in India during the Dominion period: the Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1947–48) and Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (1948–50). Jawaharlal Nehru held office as prime minister (the head of government) of the Union of India throughout this period.
Partition of India[edit]
In mid-August 1947 India won independence from the British and was partitioned to create a new country, Pakistan. Two dominions were created and both joined the British Commonwealth as self-governing dominions. The partition left Punjab and Bengal, two of the biggest provinces, divided between India and Pakistan. An estimated 3.5 million people[1] migrated to India in fear of domination and suppression in Muslim Pakistan. Communal violence killed an estimated one million Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs, and gravely destabilised both Dominions along their Punjab and Bengal boundaries, and the cities of Calcutta, Delhi and Lahore.
The Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India, drafted by a committee headed by B. R. Ambedkar, on 26 November 1949. India (with the addition of Sikkim) became a federal, democratic republic after its constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India.

Once snow appears on the ground and sticks around for a while, I get a little soup crazy. When I had Julie van Rosendaal pop by my Start From Scratch class a few weeks ago (to make dill pickle soup, neat hey?), she reminded me just how much flavour some quality sausage can add to a pot of soup. The spicy Italian sausage adds a nice heat to this hearty, vegetable-heavy bowl of goodness. Needless to say it is best enjoyed with friends.
What you'll need… 3 cups fresh pumpkin (1 cubed) 2 large Italian sausages (casing removed, and Spolumbo's of course!)1/2 cup dry red wine1 yellow onion (finely chopped)2 cloves garlic (minced)4 cups chicken broth2 cups zucchini (halved, 1/2 sliced)3 cups kale (stems removed, loosely chopped)1 14 oz can chickpeas1/2 cup heavy cream1 TBSP red wine vinegar2 TSP lemon juice1 TSP chili powdersalt and pepperolive oil Directions:
1. Start with preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Toss the chunks of pumpkin with a bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and let them roast in the oven until they're fork tender, about thirty-five minutes.2. While that's happening, cook the sausage in a large pot on medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as you go, until well-browned. D eglaze the pot with the red wine, then add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened, 5 minutes or so. 3. Next, pour in the broth, remaining vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.4. Once the pumpkin is ready, remove from oven, place into a food processor or blender with cream and puree until smooth. Stir the pumpkin puree into the pot, along with remaining ingredients. Let simmer for another 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper to finish. Done and done! Serves 5-6Total cook time…1 hour
