Man killed in York Township accident
A 21-year-old Milan man was trapped in his car and died Monday night after hitting the back of a semi-truck on NB US-23 near Willis Road in York Township.
Samuel Fital was pronounced dead on the scene. He was alone in his car and wearing a seat belt when the accident happened.
The semi-truck Fital hit was stopped in traffic on the freeway due to an earlier accident near Michigan Avenue.
Speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the crash. The 34-year-old Chicago man driving the semi truck was not injured.
The accident is under investigation by Michigan State Police.

MAKERS Seeks Six Extraordinary Women to be Featured on MAKERS.com Alongside America's Most Inspirational WomenRead More
Last week, we welcomed two new MAKERS whose creative backgrounds helped propel them towards making a difference both at home and abroad—American health care advocate and Haiti relief volunteer Ophelia Dahl and jewelry designer Julie Rofman.
As any entrepreneur will tell you, launching a business is not exactly easy. Taking nothing and turning it into something is, well, hard. If it were easy, it would have already happened. So how do I keep at it?
Entrepreneurship has too many ups and downs to measure my success by what I accomplish in terms of money or fanfare. Instead, I define my success around accomplishments that I can uniquely control.
Whether it's losing a competition, facing abuse, enduring a death of a loved one, surviving an assault—transforming difficult situations can be overwhelming. Many of our MAKERS have also faced extraordinary adversity. We decided to let them tell you in their own words how they faced and overcame the challenging moments in their lives.

Updated: January 27, 2013 6:23AM
We've written about how Illinoisans should not be upset with public employees when it comes to the state's pension financing crisis.
Rather, their anger and frustration should be directed toward state officials and legislators who failed over many years to contribute as required to the five pension funds and who backed increasingly generous pension benefits (that they also received) when times were flush. That combination is directly responsible for Illinois' pension fiasco and the abyss ($96 billion and counting) in long-term financing of the funds.
What also has justifiably upset taxpayers are the periodic horror stories about how select persons with political clout have gamed the system to get large and undeserved pensions.
Thanks to media coverage and a few government watchdog groups, some of the more egregious cases are gradually being addressed and corrected — including a whopper involving Dennis Gianopolus, the city attorney in Calumet City and city prosecutor in Chicago Heights.
Because of political chicanery, Gianopolus, 53, was in line to get a pension of about $145,000 a year if he stayed in both posts until 65. Now, he may get zip, and that's how it should be.
After inquiries by the Better Government Association, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund looked into Gianopolus' expected pension and found that he failed to meet IMRF's criteria in either job — he wasn't a city employee or elected official and didn't work at least 600 hours a year.
When he became city attorney for Calumet City in 2003, the position was that of an independent contractor, with an hourly rate and no pension. But in 2010, aldermen made it a salaried position at $240K per year, with a pension based on that high salary — they said not as a gift for Gianopolus (perish the thought!) but to reduce the city's overall legal costs.
Neither of the jobs is full-time and deserving of a pension. Gianopolus, who also has a private law practice, is appealing the IMRF decision, and we hope he loses. If he doesn't, we all lose.

Stinky water case: Misdiagnoses and delayed responses
Fayette's stinky water problems appear to have mostly dissipated.
Water System Director Tony Parrott said Tuesday that his office has received only one complaint about water since Sunday, and that caller appeared to have a situation unrelated to the problem that distributed millions of gallons of bad smelling, and bad tasting, water to Fayette homes and businesses for a period of more than three weeks.
With the help of a water treatment expert contracted by the county and also the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, the problem was narrowed down to two chemicals emitted by blue-green algae, a tiny plant that grew both in Starr's Mill Pond — the water intake point — and in the holding pond for fresh water at the Crosstown Water Treatment Plant itself. Despite the bad smell and odor the water was never dangerous to drink, county officials have said from the beginning.
Parrott also said the county is instituting daily raw water tests to determine if there are problems with the water before it enters the water treatment plant for processing.
Parrott issued an apology Friday because in his words it took "too long" to fix the problems with the smelly water that led residents and restaurants to seek bottled water and other resources to cook and drink with.
"I truly apologize for the inconvenience we created for our water customers," said Parrott. "The problem took too long to resolve and I want to assure the public that we have implemented daily raw water testing to assure we are obtaining water of the highest quality into the treatment facilities."
Anyone with lingering taste and odor problems with their water is urged to call the water system at 770-461-1146.
It took dozens of angry calls from irate water customers and many days before the system technicians finally figured out they had fingered the wrong culprit — a water temperature inversion — and the wrong lake — Lake Peachtree — as the source of the problems.
In addition to finding the true source of the problem at the Starr's Mill Pond, the county's water treatment expert from CH2M Hill also found a problem with the lagoons used to hold "backwash water" from the Crosstown Water Treatment Plant which contained solids from when the filters were cleaned at the plant. Those lagoons, used to allow solids to separate from the water, had not had sludge removed since 1999, county officials have said, yet the water from those lagoons was being recycled back into the plant's treatment process.
A contractor was working on removing the sludge from one of the two lagoons Monday after the lagoon was drained by the Peachtree City Water and Sewer Authority, which was pumping the water to its sewage plants for treatment. The removal process used a blast of pressurized water to loosen the sludge so it could be pumped out to a truck for off-site disposal.
Photo below shows piping installed by WASA to pump sludge to a sewer manhole 2,700 feet away. Photo/John Munford.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division has signed off on all the remediation at the Crosstown Water Treatment Plant recommended by the county's consultant.
Water tests from the Starr's Mill Pond that came back May 29 showed high readings of two byproducts of the blue-green algae: geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), county officials said. The geosmin was also found in the raw water reservoir at the Crosstown Water Treatment Plant, where water is stored prior to being treated at the plant, officials said.
WASA General Manager Stephen Hogan said handling the lagoon water was not causing any difficulties at WASA's sewer treatment plant and was very similar to the authority handling a heavy rainfall, which brings more water into the system for treatment.
"It looks just like a rain event to us," Hogan said.
WASA was able to use its emergency contractor to lay pipe extending from the lagoon area to a sewer manhole about 2,300 feet away. From the time WASA was asked to assist, the pipe was in place some 36 hours later, officials said.
Hogan lauded WASA staff for pitching in to help the water system while also continuing to handle their regular duties.
WASA Chairman Mike Harman said the reason WASA was able to help so quickly is because it had an existing contract for emergency sewer pipe construction, which allowed for a quick mobilization of the contractor at a fixed cost based on the pipe size.

What has been said here in all these discussions that clarify or make me feel better about the quality of water that is coming into our homes now or in the past? I have no faith in the water that come into my pipes and not just because of our recent published problems.
You do realize that Fayette County Water is a separate entity from any
of the city's. Also as far as "the bid process", would it have been
much more effective in your opinion to have gone out on bid, spent
weeks waiting for the appropriate bids to be received and analyzed to
correct this issue, or just use the predetermined "emergency
contractor" to rectify the problem in 36 hours?
First yes I know...
Second... No when they discovered the issue 2 WEEKS AGO they could have put an emergency bid for 36 hour turn around...I get them all the time. Then the City could have spent the money to correct the issue wisely by using the best qualified AND made sure the price was correct....
I'm sure Steve knows and, since he is himself a contractor who has done it before, could most likely have responded quickly(and perhaps at a lower cost).
...Also funny how they didn't allow for a bid process.
Creating problems and spending Taxpayer money is what Government does best...
Can you be more specific? You told what city about what? Who is "they"?
not really I would be divulging company info and that would not be great for my career...
I totally agree that no apology was needed. The fact that you did however, adds tremendous credibility to your posts as someone with a conscience. Look forward to seeing more of your thoughts.
Thank you. More from you, too, hopefully. :)
He's not the only culprit in this fiasco as he manages people that also are as clueless as he is, but it needs to start with his resignation immediately. If not, fire him, something that should have been done years and years ago for that matter.
Why not the whole WASA crew, too ? It took (1) WASA not doing required maintenance and (2) Fayette County Water being oblivious to the nasty water cycled in to a our drinking system. Both agencies were grossly negligent. I will bet they each have had engineering reports that they ignored that warned of these problems.
And why not City Council,too ? They recently were nosing around the Water and Sewer Authority and refused to re-appoint one guy because of some financing stuff. And yet City council can't even spot a huge crap hole filled with a foot of decades old human waste.
How many other sites are there that the public can't see because of the DO NOT ENTER ! signs ??? I will bet a bunch.
here, they deserve our thanks and gratitude. FC Water System is responsible. They take in the water, they treat the water and they distribute the water after it has been made potable. FC Water System is overseen by the FC Board of Commissioners. There is also a volunteer committee called the Water Committee that meets once a month and does a report and written recommendations to the BOC.
WASA is responsible for our sewer. They take in the sewer, they treat the sewer and they dispose of the sewer. The only water WASA deals with is a small percentage they retreat and distribute to Planterra golf club and to a few of the city ball fields to irrigate with and that is called greywater.
WASA actually was a huge part of the solution here. They were finally asked by either the BOC or Tony Parrott or the EPD to help out. They have an existing contract with a company to do work for them in emergencies to lay piping down and have negotiated a contract price to do it. Within 36 hours of being asked to do it, at the start of Memorial Day weekend, WASA and their contractor laid almost a half mile of piping from the sludge lagoon and drained it.
WASA, at the request of one of the above, also tried to extract that dried sludge after the lagoon was drained of water and could not budge it. Way beyond what they normally do. So, another contractor was brought in at the direction of either the FC Water or BOC or EPD and is doing it or has just done it (photos above).
Again, WASA is to be commended here. They went way above to help out.
This is incompetence over a period of years by the FC Water System management and and years of BOC not doing proper oversight. I hesitate to fault a volunteer board, but they are to be held accountable, also. Probably somewhere in there will be regulations and rules at state and federal levels that have complicated what should have been done, too, especially if management at FC Water does not have a clue what those rules and regs are or how they should be implemented.
We have Boards / Authority's that are supposed to be our watchdogs.
The County's May 22 Agenda lists: Approval of past meeting minutes, Lake McIntosh Park Update, MIEX Update, and finally Water Quality Issues
I took a gander at quite a few of the meeting minutes and they are NOT impressive. One would expect to see an agenda with important items that need to be reported on such as: Budget, Maintenance / Equipment, Piping, Quality Control reports, Inspection Reports, ect... and expect to see these items and a report at each meeting.
The Boards / Authority's should be ashamed of meeting minutes and notes. Clearly, no one is managing the ship and they all need to look into the mirror.
for the sludge issue. WASA removes sewage from the system, household and industrial waste and cleans it up and releases it into Flat Creek. They have nothing to do with our drinking water etc. The entire fault lays with Fayette County Water System. One could argue that the council should have gotten involved earlier on, however to pull WASA into the fray is completely unfounded.
I apologize to you and to WASA if I incorrectly included them in these failures.
Perhaps it's because we still don't understand what it is with all these issues that the City and the County are supposed to do and haven't done.
We just see all of these disappointments nationally and locally and we assume bad when perhaps we should not jump the gun. I am skeptical of all governmetal entities, especially those here in Fayette County connected to water, stormwater, etc. For now though, my apologies to the people at WASA.
I appreciate your apology to me, but it is not at all necessary. From me, you have every right to voice concern. Your voice is part of the great fabric that has made Fayette such a wonderful county to live in, especially when things go wrong.
Don't ever stop speaking out. Someone here will fill you in when the facts are a little different from your thoughts. Mine have been corrected on here more than once. After all, this The Citizen. Cal and Company have afforded us a wonderful forum to say our piece, good, bad or just plain ugly. We owe him a debt of gratitude for letting us "Have (Y)Our Say". Glad to be here and glad you are here, too.
They tried to help even when they didn't have to.
Gee, thanks Cal and Company. Now we get the true picture. Over 7 feet deep, this sludge pit is.
Think of an ice rink 7 feet deep with solid ice. You need a jackhammer to come in and break up the ice.
This is what has been sitting since 1999 in these lagoons. What is left over from AFTER our drinking water has been filtered. So solid they needed an industrial sized pressure washer to come in and loosen it up.
Any guesses on the bill to loosen it up?
How about the bill to haul it away?
How about the bill to the county water system to have the WASA contractor lay down a half a mile of piping on a federal holiday weekend to drain the liquid out of these lagoons before they started the jackhammer to loosen the sludge below..(good thing it was at a fixed cost).
How about the bill to have WASA treat that water they drained out before they started the jackhammer to loosen the sludge below?
How about those guys not wearing any protective equipment? A hard hat? How about a hazmat suit and a respirator?
How about what their wives mutter under their breath when they hear these words, "Honey, I'm HOME!".
How about I just sign off now and go lose my cookies?
It helped me with my diet last night when I couldn't eat after viewing.
What I don't understand is the testing procedures. Up until last week, the water dept did not test the water coming into the plant for treatment. If they didn't test the water, how could they determine if they had good water to start? Or if their treatment process was working properly. This is a basic high school science class experiment.
What if, god for bid, someone contaminated one of our lagoons? We take the water in for treatment and as it is tested on its way out, they find a problem. If there is a record of the water before and after treatment, one can begin to determine possible sources. Since we didn't have the testing in place, every employee would be a suspect.
Dennis Chase has been right all these years, and the county just ignores him.
Google sludge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sludge. Its a pollutant. And we have been drinking from this for years.
That's Negligence. And it should be fairly easy to find out who was responsible between 1999 and now. What you do is go back and see who inspected the lagoon prior to 1999, who recommended it be cleaned and who made it happen. Then you look at who filled those same jobs between 1999 and now and see if there's any communication about cleaning lagoons. If it was recommended and turned down - you've got your culprit. If no one mentioned it or inspected the lagoon, you have another culprit.
Or, you could just replace the guy at the top.

Your team members should work together to help you care for your diabetes and get your blood glucose levels as close to pre-pregnancy goals as possible. Your physician may also recommend that you start taking a prenatal vitamin containing at least 400 milligrams of folic acid, which is a B vitamin associated with a lower risk of a type of birth defects known as neural tube defects. Until you have achieved the best possible HbA1c level, it is recommended that you continue to use a reliable method of contraception.
In addition to focusing on blood glucose control, your team will want to evaluate you for any diabetes-related complications and treat any that are present before you become pregnant.
(Click here for some resources on pregnancy and diabetes.)
Diabetes complications
Certain medical conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease, can make pregnancy very risky. In addition, pregnancy can worsen some diabetes complications. For this reason, women with diabetes who are contemplating pregnancy should have a thorough medical evaluation before becoming pregnant and, if needed, receive treatment for any existing complications such as diabetic retinopathy (eye disease), nephropathy (kidney disease), neuropathy (nerve disease), and cardiovascular disease (heart disease).
Retinopathy. In some cases, diabetic retinopathy can worsen during pregnancy. The best way to prevent worsening is to gradually bring blood glucose levels into goal range prior to pregnancy. Ideally, all women with diabetes should have a dilated eye exam by a retinopathy specialist before becoming pregnant. At your exam, you will want to ask about the health of your eyes, any potential problems that could occur, as well as whether any further evaluation of your eyes might be needed during a pregnancy.
Nephropathy. It is important to have your kidney function evaluated before becoming pregnant. Your physician will likely order both blood tests and urine tests for a baseline assessment of your overall kidney health. If kidney disease is present, it can contribute to high blood pressure during pregnancy. You and your diabetes care team should discuss your kidney health as it relates to pregnancy.
Neuropathy. Diabetes management during pregnancy may be complicated by the presence of neuropathy. Any health problems or changes in bodily functioning caused by neuropathy should be treated before conception occurs. Some of the problems that can be caused by neuropathy include the following:
• Gastroparesis, or slowed stomach emptying
• Urinary retention
• Hypoglycemia unawareness, in which a person does not sense or does not experience the early signs of low blood glucose
• Orthostatic hypotension, or low blood pressure that occurs upon rising from a seated or lying-down position
• Carpal tunnel syndrome, or numbness, tingling, burning, pain, or a dull ache in the fingers, hands, or wrists, caused by pressure on the median nerve; worsening or onset of carpal tunnel syndrome is common during pregnancy.
Cardiovascular disease. Women with cardiovascular disease experience a high mortality rate during pregnancy, so if you have cardiovascular disease, you will want to discuss your level of risk with your diabetes care team. Because pregnancy creates increased demands on the heart, it is important that the heart be evaluated and that you have an exercise tolerance test to help determine if your heart can withstand the demands of pregnancy.

Most of us have a mental wish list going all year round – yet when someone finally asks for some gift ideas, we often blank or fumble until we spit out something lame, like underwear or new dish towels. I've even been known to ask for stamps. If you know a runner, however, consider this your guide for birthday or holiday shopping for them, whether you're on a hotdog or a caviar budget.
Food ($2-5 each)
Nutrition specifically designed for fuel and easy accessibility, such as GU packets, CLIFF Blok shots or bars, Sports Beans, or any of the hundreds of other gels, chews, and bars, are wonderful small gift ideas for runners. Anyone training for a half marathon of longer is likely experimenting with these nutrition forms and would greatly appreciate help replenishing their stockpile.
Body Glide ($5-8)
The best chaffing solution out there! 'Nough said.
Water bottle ($13-20)
A typical 12-ounce water bottle with a handheld strap is a helpful accessory for runners of all levels. The adjustable strap tightens to your hand, so you can run without actually having to hold on to the bottle. Whenever you're thirsty, simply lift and drink – no stopping required!
ID tags ($20)
These are most commonly either metal plates that your shoelaces can string through, or bracelets, like the RoadID bracelet. It's definitely not fun to think of getting hurt while running, but it's a real possibility, so having a way for others to identify you in case of an accident could end up saving your life.
Sun visor ($13-25)
Visors haven't always rated super high on the 'cool' fashion factor, but runners fortunately rarely care and still happily wear clothing solely for their functionary, which visors have plenty of; they not only shield your eyes from the sun, but also catch sweat and leave the top of your head open so heat can escape and you don't overheat.
Running gloves ($20-30)
Won't just any gloves work? Nope. Do they really need to running-specific gloves? Yes. They do. If you don't believe us, go for a half hour run in 14-degree weather wearing the cheap $2 cotton gloves from the drug store. Your hands will sweat, and then your fingers will freeze. Running gloves, such as the Mizuno breath thermo fleece glove, are not only made of breathable and moisture wicking materials to keep your hands dry from sweat (and, subsequently, warmer), but they are also made to endure multiple trips through the washing machine. Some brands have even added a hidden pocket just large enough to slip a GU packet or your house key into.
Hydration belt ($30-60)
You've probably seen runners trotting along on their long weekend runs with those stretchy black belts with little fluorescent green or yellow bottles hanging around them; those Amphipod hydration belts are one of the most popular amongst runners, as well as the Nathan hydration belts. The main difference between the two brands being how the bottles attach to the belt; Amphipod bottles snap into place, while Nathan bottles slip down into plastic carriers. The runner's body shape and running gait tend to determine which is more comfortable for individuals.
Compression socks ($40-60)
They may not be the most stylish running accessory, but for runners going long distances (think marathon or longer training), they are a remarkable luxury. Compression socks are extremely tight socks that go up to your knees; their purpose is to stimulate blood flow in the legs, helping to keep swelling down and aid in faster recovery after long or other particularly strenuous runs.
Hydration backpack ($45-100+)
Good luck training for a marathon or longer without a hydration backpack. Hand held water bottles and hydration belts simply do not carry enough water to keep you properly hydrated, and would require multiple pit stops to refill. Hydration backpacks, however, generally carry around 60-100 oz. of water and are held comfortably in place on your back through a variety of adjustable padded straps. If fitting properly, a hydration pack is extremely comfortable and convenient for long distance runs.
Next time it's time to get your favorite runner a gift, hopefully you'll remember this list and know that you certainly don't need to break the bank to make a runner very happy.

FLORIDA, May 3, 2013 — In Philadelphia, a jury is now deciding the fate of Kermit Gosnell.
Over the last few years, Gosnell's story has captivated America's right-leaning media outlets. The longtime abortion doctor is accused of, among many other things, murdering a patient and fetuses which were born alive.
He is also facing charges for essentially operating a pill mill. These have not yet been brought to trial.
Considering the dire state of narcotic dependency in Philadelphia, one might imagine that Gosnell possibly being a drug dealer would have generated more attention. However, the rightish press seems mainly interested in the allegations that he carried out illegal late-term abortions.
As for the left-leaning media, a description that surely fits most news organizations in this country, relatively little attention has been paid to Gosnell. Commentators on the right chalk this up to sheer bias. It seems difficult to prove them wrong.
Casting that aside, though, does anyone honestly miss the sensationalism associated with high-profile trials? From O.J. Simpson to Casey Anthony, far more views than news are often reported; especially in our age of cable television, talk radio, and blogging.
Even if leftist bias is to blame for Gosnell not being sensationalized in the front page from coast to coast, is this really so bad? Isn't it better for the defense and prosecution to do their jobs without ten different pundits pretending to know what they're talking about?
Irrespective of our views on abortion rights, we should all be glad that the Gosnell trial did not devolve into a media circus. Having the courtroom packed with journalists eager to write a lurid, headline-grabbing story is a bad idea if there ever was one.
So, controversial as this may be, I do think it is a plus that Gosnell's time in court never became the stuff of daily news for the alphabet networks or most national publications. There is already far more than enough anguish and misery peddled in the media; of what societal benefit would it have been to publicize Gosnell?
Sometimes, leaving a local story at the local level is not such a bad idea.

Dream on? Well, no. This is the reality of dining at the Sandside Café on NorthYorkshire's stunning heritage coast. For more than a century visitors in search of refreshment, relaxation and hospitality have sought out the café-in-a-cabin which stands at the entrance to picturesque Sandsend village, an unspoilt gem of a place with old world cottages, towering sea cliffs, a secret ruined castle, woodland and a beach cut through by streams.
Sandside was always known as the little café with the big view, sitting as it does on the very edge of the beach, just off the A174 road, one of the most beautiful coastline drives anywhere in the country.
Now the café has been entirely re-built by owners of 19 years Neil Hodgson and his sister Karen Mortimer to provide high standards of comfort, cleanliness and refreshment while retaining the rural charm of the old cabin. It was so popular that regulars begged bits before demolition. Oh, and do remember that Neil and Karen are local people, so if you need to know anything from bus times and tides, or even the route to the secret castle, just ask.
It is a firm favourite with motorists (free roadside parking), beach lovers, families, walkers, dog owners (plenty of outside seating), cyclists, artists and surfers. And most importantly, it is the place where the locals go.
The Sandside is open seven days a week during the season. Weekends and school holidays through winter.
Sandside cafe is now fully licensed on the premises. So you can enjoy our serlection of beers and wines.

Missed Salah do to illness?
As salam Alaikum
If a person get ill like gets possessed by a jinn or had a illness because of shaytan
and because this "illness" she could not perform salah for more than 6 months
does she have to make up the salah or was she excused? because she
could not really control her actions or words at some times though she was
aware of what was happening.

Re: Missed Salah do to illness?
wa alaikum al salam wa rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh
I ask Allah to cure the sister in question completely, and grant her patience, increase her reward, and grant her success in this life and the next.
I apologize, I do not have an answer to her question.
Just wished to say that if one finds himself in a similar situation then they should pray based on their ability i.e. praying during the times she finds herself able to control her actions and words, and in the other times where she can't control her actions but is aware of what is happening then she should try praying based on her utmost capability in these other times: so if she can't pray standing then sitting, and if she can't pray sitting then laying down, etc
I really can't imagine what she was going through, so that is all I have, and In Sha Allah someone can answer your question....

Analysis: It's a Lot Easier to Rule With a Mandate
It's easier to govern if you have a mandate, and you build the mandate while you're campaigning. So far, the agenda for the next set of officeholders is a little murky. The campaign for governor so far has been more about the histories and challenges in the lives of the contestants than about their differences over issues facing the state.Full Story

Center for the Analysis of Property Rights and Innovation
The Center for the Analysis of Property Rights and Innovation (CAPRI) examines the role of property rights and the enhancement of innovation. Intellectual property is intended to promote innovation in expression and invention. Intellectual property is protected by copyrights and patents.
Technologies have threatened to upend the way these property rights work. Suggestions have been made that privately controlled property rights might not be a particularly efficient way to promote creativity in the era of digitization. Some say new and different business models are needed.
CAPRI is dedicated to learning more about these topics. While many of our researchers are based in the Jindal School of Management, many more are from disciplines across campus and throughout the nation.
The institutions and rules for operating in the digital realm have an important impact on productivity. It is important that we get things right. Fundamental to getting things rights is to have an informed understanding of the issues involved. The research supported by CAPRI is helping to lead to such understanding. CAPRI, through its research grants and working paper series, is making a mark on the intellectual landscape.

Turns out, there are 6 major factors in how much you'll pay for insurance. These things are pretty broad topics, with lots of things to think about in each one, but today I'd just give a brief overview of each one. Each one is important, however some are more so than others, and many of them you can control to get the and great savings and cheapest car insurance you want.
How Cheap Car Insurance works: what You're covered for
Of course, this makes sense. How much you pay for your insurance depends on what you've got coverage for. There are many different types of insurance, and each one covers a specific aspect of your car (or you, or the jerk that you just rear ended because he slammed on the brakes). First, there's liability insurance, which covers the guy you've just hit. Next, there's personal injury protection, which covers your medical expenses and the expenses of anyone in your car who was injured. Third, there's comprehensive insurance, which covers anything that happens to your car that isn't collision based; this involves things like vandalism or theft. Fourth, there's collision insurance, which takes care of your car if you've been in an accident. Add those to things like insurance against uninsured motorists, car rentals, and emergency road services, and it can be a big bill.
Take a look at exactly what you're covered for. It may turn out that you are over insured for things, and the way to get the cheapest car insurance is to pare down a little. You need to look very carefully at how valuable things like collision insurance are, because they may not be as valuable as they seem. Collision insurance, especially on older cars, is probably not going to give a very good return on your monthly investment , because the value of your car will most likely exceed the cost of repairs. If you get into an accident, chances are very good this will happen, and your return will be the estimated value of the car before the accident, not the price you paid for the car.
What, how often and how far
Believe it or not, what you drive has a huge effect on your bill. Getting the cheapest car insurance can depend on what car you drive, as well. On the whole, cars with a higher safety rating and a low incidence of occupant injury are cheaper to insure, no matter what their cost. In fact, cars with the highest incidence of theft, such as certain Honda Civics, can cost as much to insure as a high end Mazda RX8.
What you pay also has a bearing on your driving habits. Typically, the more miles you drive in a year, the more it will cost, the less likely the cheapest car insurance can be found- even if you're a safe driver. Consider allowing your insurance company to track your driving habits. This can be done via services like OnStar, and can give insurance companies a better idea of what your driving habits are, which can lead to a reduction in your premiums.
Where and Who you are
Here's a quick question: who is more likely to get into an accident? The suburban driver, who commutes to the city every day in his car, or the rural farmer, who drives to town to do errands? The answer is easy to guess: all other things being equal, the suburban driver is far more likely to be in an accident, through sheer probability. There are simply more people on the road for him to hit or get hit by. Also, drivers who live in densely populated areas suffer more vandalism and theft than in rural communities. Therefore, the cheapest car insurance is easier to get if you're in a rural area than in the suburbs.
Who you are has a big impact as well on getting cheap car insurance. Obviously, your driving record is a big part of that. If you've had an accident within the last three years, chances are good you are still paying for it. Over time, however, your rates will go down. Almost as important to the insurance companies is your age, gender, and whether you're married. If you're a 18 year old single male, chances are good you are paying heavily for your insurance; you're far more likely to be in an accident, and thus have to pay up. If you're a student with good grades, it's also pretty likely you'll get a discount on your insurance.
Keep these things in mind when searching for the cheapest car insurance; they are the key factors in an insurance company's calculations.

The United States Department of Agriculture has announced tougher penalties to help crack down on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program fraud. These new steps includes tougher financial sanctions on retailers aiming to defraud SNAP as well as more effective tools for states to guarantee that benefits go exclusively to eligible Americans.
The new retailer sanctions will permanently disqualify a retailer who misuses SNAP benefits and will assess a monetary penalty equal to the amount of SNAP business the store is conducting. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates among all government programs.

Physician testifies in murder trial: No prior indication 94-year-old was abused
By Ruth Ann Krause Post-Tribune correspondent October 10, 2013 6:14PM
Updated: November 12, 2013 6:35AM
The physician who treated a 94-year-old woman whose death was ruled a homicide testified he never noticed any indication of physical abuse in the times her son would bring her for office visits.
Dr. William Forgey's testimony came during the fourth day of the trial of George Knezevic, 62, who is charged with murder, battery and neglect of a dependent in the death of his mother, Ljubica "Violet" Knezevic.
Forgey, who testified for the defense, said he treated for Ljubica Knezevic for recurring urinary tract infections, hypertension, coronary artery disease and other issues and was her attending physician after she was brought to the hospital on Oct. 13, 2010.
Witnesses said they saw George Knezevic strike her in the face with a boot and his hand, pull her hair, choke her, spray her with a water hose and throw her up against the outside of the family home at 4774 Buchanan St., Calumet Township, before shoving her inside the home. She had severe blunt force trauma injuries to her face, five fractured ribs, internal lung damage and bruises on her arms.
Questioned by defense attorney Scott King, Forgey said the dark bruising around her neck could be either from a direct injury to her neck or pooling of blood from gravity. Forgey said Ljubica Knezevic's injuries would be consistent with a fall. Sometimes individuals hurt themselves worse trying to get up after falling, he said.
Dr. John Cavanaugh, a forensic pathologist with the Lake County coroner's office who conducted an autopsy on Ljubica Knezevic, said the injuries taken altogether could not have occurred from a single fall.
Cavanaugh determined the cause of death was complications of multiple blunt force injuries that prompted a heart attack.

Five Sneaky Ways to Layer
Layering's a cold weather survival tactic. But it's also a look. And while the warmth from piling on cardigans, vests and snoods will always be welcome, the industrious winter warrior vibe might not be.
With that in mind, we've rounded up our favorite ways to layer without overwhelming your outfit underneath. Try any of these five tricks: you'll beat the cold and the chunky, heavily-armored silhouette:
Skinny Puffers
Slip them under your regular coat and no one will be wiser, provided you choose a dark shade and a slim enough fit.
Cashmere Tanks
While it might seem like a lot to pay for a tank top, the price-per-wear math makes it practical. Throw it under any sweater and you'll insulate without creating Michelin man arms. Victory.
Mimics the warmth of a turtleneck, then slips over your head when you want to unveil a prettier neckline.
Sweater-Blend Tights
Way, way warmer than doubling up on sheer pairs, they're perfect under pants on ultra-frigid days.
Leather Staples
Swap thick sweater dresses for a leather sheath.The fabric's ridiculously warm but not bulky, so tossing a long sleeve tee underneath and a cardigan over will still look streamlined.
