Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Dinora Elizabeth is forty-three years old, a widow, and lives with her two children who are in school. She has a store that is well frequented by customers, as she is located in an area with a lot of foot traffic and offers the best service. She is always ahead of her competition, offering customers the best prices, a clean establishment, and a place where they can find what they need. Dinora has great goals and, for her, the bigger her dream the smaller the obstacles become. This is why she requests a loan from INTEGRAL that will allow her to supply her business with items such as basic grains, dairy products, beverages, instant products, and snacks, among others. In this manner, she can satisfy her customer base while concurrently meeting the needs of her household. Dinora has faith that all her efforts will allow her to give her family a higher quality of life.

My toddler hates having her diaper changed. Help!
Our 16-month-old suddenly hates diaper changes! The second we put her on her back, she starts crying, and then either rolls over on her stomach or stands up. We've gotten pretty good at changing wet diapers while she's standing, but for messy diapers, there's no way! Any suggestions?

This is a great time to start counting with your child. I've taught two kids to count to ten this way. When it's time to change the diaper, in a very silly voice (as if to say "I'm going to get you!") start counting to ten. Count as slowly as you need to to get the pants and diaper off and clean the mess, but don't forget to really ham it up and draw out the anticipation. When we get to ten, the diaper should be almost done and then we attack the baby belly and blow zerberts on her, tickle the armpits, etc. Your LO will be so excited anticipating the "attack," they hardly notice the changing while they wait. Cheersposted 06/10/2013 by Kambria333
Oh my I just recently tried putting a pillow under there head when changing him on the bed or couch and no issues! I think the days of them being flat on there back and head are over. He gets scared foe some reason.posted 02/15/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Our toddler only has one or two full diapers a day, so for those I put him standing in the tub. Strip off the diaper and use two or three large cups of water to wash everything away. Poop doesn't go anywhere but down the drain and it saves us a half dozen wipes on the doozy diapers.posted 02/19/2013 by calgirl0709
I have found the new "slip on" diapers from Huggies work wonders!! My daughter (18 mo) has hated changing her diaper since about 12 mo. on and these diapers are the best invention yet!! She is finally okay with laying down for a messy diaper but then she stands up to slip on the clean one. I think it also helps with potty training too!!posted 09/24/2012 by emmalouvt
My son has been a challenge to change since he was about 13 months old. We tried singing to him, "reading" books by memory to occupy him, and various other tricks, but the one thing that consistently works is to provide him with small little board books to flip through while he is being changed. The ones that have tabs for him to pull and look under work best for his small hands. We memorize the books so that we can ask him questions - can you find Peter Rabbit's shoes?, can you find the scarecrow in the garden?, etc. Sometimes the books are tossed and he flips anyhow, but we have a pile of about 5 books that we rotate to keep him from getting bored. Also, we have tried to implement "positive discipline" - when changing him before naptime or bedtime, we'll remind him that we usually read 3 books before bed, but if he does not cooperate with mom or dad during changing, then we'll take one book away. Right now, this works about 75% of the time.posted 01/10/2011 by Michelle341
my son has been this way since he was about 6 months old. At that time, singing old macdonald or the ants go marching seemed to work, and I was still stronger than him so it was easier. As of about a year it has been a FIGHT every diaper and clothes change. Also factor in he became very interested in grabbing his anatomy or trying to stick his hand in his poopy diaper. Sometimes we do while watching elmo or playing with something special he doesn't normally get to play with like a remote which keeps his hands busy, and I do the mean mom pin him on the floor with my leg if I have to.posted 05/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes. Maybe she is ready to start being potty trained!posted 04/29/2011 by chula10
you could start potty training. sounds like she's motivated not to wear a diaper and it'll save everyone a hassel to just start. you'd be starting before to much longer anyways.posted 04/01/2011 by bri&autumn-mom
give her her favorite toy when shes laying down, and only let her have it when you're changing her diaper.posted 08/02/2011 by elj3000
I save a super-favorite toy for diaper changes and my 17-month-old only gets to play with it when he's on the changing table. Sometimes I'll let him play with something that's usually off-limits, such as a tube of lotion, and he is totally entranced the whole time!posted 11/04/2010 by jociep

THE summer of '96 I spent on the farm and in the fall I worked for my father in the toy shop during the brief pre-Christmas spurt of employment. There was no official family announcement, but the prospect of college had quietly faded away. My help was needed to contribute to the income of the growing family, and I could not even hope to "work my way through college." After Christmas Father sent me to be interviewed by Mr. Richmond Viall, the superintendent of Brown and Sharpe's, the world-renowned machine-tool builders in nearby Providence.
The interview was satisfactory, and I was to be accepted as an indentured apprentice, in the old tradition of training for a recognized craft. The hours of work were to be from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.m. with an hour out for dinner. This was 10 hours a day 6 days a week -- or 60 hours a week in all.
My wages at the start were to be four cents an hour. That $2.40 a week was not clear gain. There were certain fixed charges, the largest being carfare. A dollar book of tickets provided twenty rides between the nearest railroad station, Woodlawn, and Providence. That accounted for sixty cents weekly. Besides this I was required to don clean overalls and jumpers each Monday morning. This laundry service cost twenty-five cents a week. De

Given the current economic crisis (and the fact that Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at last night's Oscars), it seemed high time we dedicated the Adventures in Feministory segment of the blog to a woman who was all about the Benjamins. We could all use a little financial inspiration these days, right?
So stop clipping those coupons, put off your dumpster diving until the weather gets a little warmer, and read on to learn more about Madam CJ Walker, the first African American woman to become a self-made millionaire. Let's hope that her entrepeneurial spirit and skill at crafting hair care products for black women (her specialty) will inspire some of us to follow in her feministory footsteps.

Goreti's Group
To help expand her business, Goreti has requested a loan of 300,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to expand her range of used clothing to sell and will help Goreti to generate greater profits and pay school fees. Goreti hopes that in the future she will be able to build a house.
Goreti is a member of BRAC's Empowerment and Livelihood for Adolescents (ELA) program. In addition to microfinance loans, the program provides both a safe place for young Ugandan women to take part in group activities, and a forum for life-skills training.
Additional Information
About BRAC UgandaThis loan is administered by BRAC Uganda, a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) in Uganda that is also a part of the BRAC international network. BRAC Uganda attempts to address poverty through a holistic model, offering programs in education, health, water & sanitation, agriculture, and microfinance. BRAC Uganda's microfinance program aims to provide the poor with easy, reliable, and efficient access to institutional financial services, and reaches over 150,000 families in Uganda. For more on BRAC Uganda, please see our partner page, and join our lending team, Friends of BRAC Uganda.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I have a simple switch question, but I can't find any info on this simple switch.
I want to add a new overhead light.
I have an outlet in the wall. I assume I want to pull power from that outlet to the switch and then to the light. How is this done?
I thought I was correct when I did the following:
I hooked W/B wires into the outlet screws that were vacant.
I basically bypassed the switch with the white wire and ran the White wire to the light without any interruptions.
I ran the black wire to the botton screw in the switch. Then I ran another black wire from the top screw in the switch to the light. Where did I go wrong? Please help.

- Electrical & Lighting >
- Simple single pole switch installation??????
Well it sounds like you did ok. Did you turn the power back on> is the receptacle working? Is the bulb good? Is there a switch om the fixture? Is it on? Start with these first and get back to us.
Did you turn the power back on? YES
is the receptacle working? YES
Is the bulb good? YES
Is there a switch on the fixture? NO
Is it on? N/A
is the receptacle working? YES
Is the bulb good? YES
Is there a switch on the fixture? NO
Is it on? N/A
Do you have an electrical tester? A meter, voltage tester or just a simple neon tester? Check to see if you have power to the switch, check from the feed side screw to the neutral and or the ground.then check to see if you have power on the load side, with the switch on. Theen check if there is power at the screws on the lamp. You may have a defective switch and or a defective fixture.

If you're short on storage space in your kitchen, going vertical with a few items can really up your efficiency factor.

It'll save you from stacking, unstacking, rummaging, and digging:

If when you hear the phrase "eat-in kitchen" you think a) yeah right, or b) does standing next to my countertop count?, then to you I say this: consider the wall-mounted drop leaf table. Often even the smallest of kitchens can accommodate this type of table because of its signature space-saving feature: prop it up when you want to use it; drop it down flush against the wall when you don't. If you think you can swing it in your own kitchen, IKEA has three terrific options to choose from, all under $40:

Skyrim Axe of Whiterun by renegadecowWatch
©2012-2016 renegadecow
I'm making a full Dovakhiin costume and one of the key pieces is the Axe of Whiterun which is essentially just a fancy steel battleaxe. Also put in a second, more game-accurate version of the iron helm. Both pieces are made of foam rubber with exception of the pole which is a pvc pipe.
Neat : D
Wow ! It remembers me this sentence : "By this axe I rule" (I thinks it was in Conan) then i have to tell you "By my skill I rule" !!!
O.O I want!
The steel battleaxe is one of my favorite vanilla designs. The way it looks on your back and in your hands is just awesome. Very nice work!
Really nice work!

We love our members, and we want you to be one of them! With NO CONTRACTS, and financial assistance available for anyone who qualifies, we welcome everyone – regardless of your age, background, ability or income.
Membership Types
We offer a few options for membership. First, choose who you would like on your membership. Then, choose which type of membership suits your needs.
Who is on my membership?
Our Family Membership is by far our most popular option! Pay one low monthly rate for everyone in our family to have access to the YMCA! While families vary, we define "family" as any two adults residing in the same household, and their legal dependents.
Our Adult Membership has a lower monthly rate than our Family Membership and allows one individual to have access to the YMCA.
Our Youth Membership is for youth age 12 – 17 and also has a lower monthly rate. An adult name must be listed on the account as the primary contact/member, but only the youth will have access.
Our Student Membership is available for college students enrolled full-time, and is available as a Branch-Only membership. Student membership is not available online, and must be completed in the branch. Please visit any of our locations to find out more.
Which type suits me best?
Our Metro Membership allows members access to all 16 facilities in the Richmond area. This includes all group exercise and water fitness classes, child watch, gymnasiums, indoor pools, and more. Pay one monthly rate and get the best of every branch!

Love it!
I just ordered these boats. i was kind of worried because of the reviews and not quite sure about the size. But usually, when I get boats, I can not get bigger sizes, but have to get smaller sizes or my exact size because they will often end up too big. Anyways, I normally wear a size 10 heel and a size 9 boot so I decided to stick with my normal boot size, and ordered a nine. I did and the fit is perfect! These boots are very comfortable and warm.
I wear a 10 and ordered a 10.5 because of everyone's comments about them running small. Glad I didn't go bigger. They seem a little big but perhaps because they feel like they start getting wider as it heads down to the toes. Can get thicker socks on for colder weather and there'd be room. I'd stick with your true size first. Not sure yet if I'm going to exchange them for a 10 or not. Yes they are cute for winter boots.
Did send them back awhile ago and just ordered a 10, 1/2 size down since they're on sale. They're out of 9's and all 1/2 sizes in the white. Will let you know. Got the Snowlions in a 10 for when the snow's higher and they seem a little big too. Am keeping because they didn't have 1/2 sizes and thought about a 9 but they went on sale a couple weeks ago and are now out of all sizes. With those when standing or walking my toes are at the end but my heels slip and the liner comes off when I take them off. Am going to put some insole and heel pads in them and/or use thicker socks and see how that goes.
Great Boot!
These boots are very flattering. Cute boot for women. I am normaly an 8.5 and ordered a 9. I would not have gone any smaller. I bought these for my outdoor wedding n February and I can't wait to wear them.
...and once again...
really cute boot but a bit annoying get the fit right. Just as others have mentioned, they run very small so order a size up. I wear a size 8 to 8.5 always and have always hated buying a 9 because they would "grow" too much and then I would never wear them again after one wearing but this boot is different. I ordered an 8 and had to send it back. Got the 9 and it is much better. They look really cute...don't make your ankles to huge either...and won't "grow" because of the materials. I bought the white and think they are going to look really cute in the snow...next winter!
run small
I wear a 8 to an 8.5 normally and never buy shoes or boots in a 9 but I have to here because they run small so save yourself the shipping and buy a size up so that you won't have to send a shipment back...super cute...
Perfectly cute and functional winter boots
I have Uggs, but have been looking for something cute and more waterproof to play in the snow and deal with Midwestern winters. I love these (I got the oyster/purple color) and have gotten so many compliments on them. The are warm and effectively waterproof without looking like clunky snowboots.
My new favorite Sorels!
LOVE them but not as "hardy" as my original Sorels (not as warm and grippy). I'll get more use out of these since they look they are so darn cute and my feet stay toasty enough for comfort.
Overall good but slippery
Overall, I really like these boots. The style is great and they are comfortable and very warm. I do wish that they were a little higher though to better keep out snow. Also, they are VERY slippery on smooth, wet surfaces such as floors and wooden porches (I've almost fallen a bunch of times) which I was really surprised about since I thought they would have better traction than sneakers since they are make for walking on snow and ice.
pretty in pink
used these boots for the 1st time over christmas break in mammoth, got plenty of compliments on the looks, they kept my feet pretty toasty, even made my feet sweat which is new for me!!little slippery though when walking.
These aren't your dad's Sorels
All of the performance and warmth of a Sorel boot without looking like a lumberjack! I love these boots. The new designs are a crowd stopper. If you don't like it when people you don't know stop you in the grocercy store to tell you how much they like something you are wearing than don't buy these boots. Everyone wants to know who makes them and where they can get them.
do these boots run big like other Sorels? I want to order them but not sure if I should get my normal 8 or down a size. Please let me know. Thanks!
I normally wear a size 6 in shoes and dress...
I normally wear a size 6 in shoes and dress boots (live in the south , this will be first pair of snow boots) should i order a 6 1/2 or a 7 in this sorel boot? thanks in advance for your help!! laura
HOw do these run size wise??? I normally...
HOw do these run size wise??? I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 but they only have pink in a 10...but I am thinking I'd have thick socks on as well! Help!
I know a bad chick who says these run kinda big. Going up a 1/2 size wouldn't be too bad, but a full size might be overkill. Go w/ the 9.
Does this boot run true to size or on the...
Does this boot run true to size or on the big size like other Sorel boots? Normally I wear an 8 but wonder if I should order a 7? Please let me know before you run out. Thanks!
These are going to run on the wider side, like most sorrels.
are these durable/warm/waterproof enough...
are these durable/warm/waterproof enough for snowmobiling?
The Sorel Torino is a great quality boot but more a little more fashion oriented. They still offer the great durability of a Sorel and are made to withstand the elements. They have the waterproof, rubber sole and a water resistant upper. They should be able to handle activities like snowmobiling however, you may want to consider the height of the boot. They are a bit shorter.

I started driving a taxi in Fort Worth a little oer a week ago. One of my friends who owns a bike shop asked if I was available for sag support. I'm getting cards printed to leave at all the local bike shops for just that purpose.
I drive a mini-van with foldable, removable rear and center seats. I am installing quick-release clamps inside today so I can carry 2 bikes standing up and 3 passengers at the same time. I have already been flagged down by 2 mountain bike riders who needed a ride back to their car after a mechanical.

alot of people have been talking and say you cant smoke or crush the pill is this true?
This question has also been asked and answered here: What's the difference between Oxycontin OC 40 and OP 40?
Answers (2)
3 Sep 2010
I am assuming that these dosages are the extended release version. Crushing the pill breaks the release mechanism and you get all of the drug at once instead of over 8-12 hours. The pills are not meant to be crushed unless you are directed to do so by your doctor. As far as the smoking... I take 50mcg Fentanyl x 48 hours and 10mg Opana and I smoke and was never told by the doctor not to. Some medications are affected by smoking in a way that it either lingers in your system at a higher levels and it metabolizes it too quickly, and some meds are affected by just the opposite where they are not absorbed as well and you have lower levels in your system and dosages have to be adjusted because of smoking. As far as I know there aren't any interactions but to be sure I would ask your doctor or pharmacist and they will be able to tell you about the smoking.
4 Sep 2010
The new oxycontin hcl (extended release) op can not be crushed n or smoked. The manufacturer, Purdue Labs, added something that prevents these forms of abuse to the medication. And that's the soul reason for the new version of the pill. So it can only be swallowed whole. You can't even cut it in half.

Any recommendations for a tripod?
I'm hoping to do some coastal landscape and long exposure photography this summer and wondered if anyone could recommend a tripod. I'm thinking I want something sturdy, light, folds small to carry around and a ball head. I don't really want to spend a lot of money, perhaps GBP50?

Letter to the Editor
GAC: Something for everybody
Friday, December 8, 2006
To the editor:I enjoyed the GAC Country Christmas concert very much. The country-rock-pop mixture was great. The Christmas half of the program was a variety of music, something for everybody in the audience. After the two-hour show, all of the artists stayed for a long autograph/photo session. More people should have showed up for this concert. Matt Sanders hit this concert review right on.

The study from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found salaried workers fared much better than hourly workers, and all-cause mortality was below expectations for them despite increased malignancies in blood, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and thymus cells.
Hourly workers weren't so lucky, according to the study. They had above-average cancer mortality rates in comparison to the rest of the U.S. population, but tests only provided evidence for a connection between hourly workers and intestinal cancer.
Previous studies also found a link between non-malignant respiratory disease and exposure to radiation, but the NIOSH study found no such connection. The discrepancy could be due to "improved exposure assessment, different outcome groupings and extended follow-up" in the NIOSH study, according to the study's abstract.
The NIOSH study followed 6,409 workers who were employed at Fernald for at least 30 days between 1951 and 1985, following them through 2004.
Fernald was initially surrounded by controversy in 1984 when it was revealed that it was releasing millions of pounds of uranium dust into the atmosphere, causing radioactive contamination in surrounding areas. The controversy was elevated when Dave Bocks, an employee at the factory, mysteriously disappeared and was later found dead at a uranium processing furnace. Some suspected Bocks was murdered for allegedly being a whistleblower, but no evidence of foul play was ever officially recorded.
Just two days before the general election, President Barack Obama made his case to 13,500 people packed into the University of Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena and 2,000 in an overflow room.
Obama cast the race in comparisons to the previous two presidents, comparing his policies with those of Bill Clinton and equating Republican challenger Mitt Romney's plans with those of George W. Bush.
"So stay with me then," Obama said. "We've got ideas that work, and we've got ideas that don't work, so the choice should be pretty clear."
With less than 48 hours before polls open on Election Day, a Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll had Obama and his Republican challenger locked in a statistical dead heat. However the same poll showed Obama with a slight edge in Ohio, up 48 percent to Romney's 44 percent.
Obama touted his first-term accomplishments, including ending the war in Iraq; ending Don't Ask Don't Tell, the policy preventing homosexuals from serving openly in the military; and overhauling the country's health care system.
"It's not just about policy, it's about trust. Who do you trust?" the president asked, flanked by a sea of supporters waving blue "Forward" signs.
"Look, Ohio, you know me by now. You may not agree with every decision I've made, Michelle doesn't always agree with me. You may be frustrated with the pace of change … but I say what I mean and I mean what I say."
Nonpartisan political fact-checker PolitiFact on Nov. 3 took a look at Obama's record on keeping his campaign promises from 2008. The group rated 38 percent as Kept, 16 percent Compromised and 17 percent Broken.
Twice during his speech the president was interrupted by audience members shouting from the stands.
The first was a man on the balcony level of the arena interrupted, shouting anti-abortion slogans and waving a sign showing mutilated fetuses before being dragged out by about five law enforcement officers. Both were drowned out by supporters.
Music legend Stevie Wonder opened the rally for Obama, playing a number of his hits, opening up "Superstition" with a refrain of "on the right track, can't go back."
Wonder discussed abortion policy between songs and urged Ohioans who had not already voted to do so either early on Monday or Election Day.
So far, 28 percent of Ohio voters have already cast their ballots. CNN reports that those votes favor Obama 63/35, according to public polling.
Meanwhile on Sunday, Romney campaigned before an estimated crowd of 25,000 in Pennsylvania, according to the Secret Service.
Political rallies always draw a number of the loyal opposition, and this late-evening appearance was no different. Only five people protested near the line to the arena, but what they lacked in number they attempted to make up for in message.
One large sign read "Obama: 666" and another "Obama is the Beast," alluding to a character in the Christian Biblical book of Revelation.
A man who only identified himself as Brooks carried a large anti-abortion sign that showed pieces of a dismembered fetus.
"I'm here to stand up for the innocent blood that has been shed in this land to the tune of 56 million," Brooks said. He said he was opposed to the politics of both major party presidential candidates.
"I pray for Barack Obama because his beliefs are of the Antichrist, just like Romney," Brooks said.
Brooks said his message for those in line was for them to vote for Jesus — not on the ballot, but through their actions and through candidates that espoused Christian beliefs.
"Obama is not going to change things, Romney is not going to change things," Brooks said. "In the last days there are many Christs, but not the Christ of the Bible. The Christ of the Bible is not for killing children, is not for homosexual marriage."
The Medicaid expansion could provide health insurance to more than 42,000 people living in Hamilton County, according to a county-by-county breakdown released on Aug. 28 by the Ohio Poverty Law Center (OPLC).
In Hamilton County, OPLC reports nearly 89,000 people are currently uninsured and roughly 155,000 use Medicaid.
OPLC found Hamilton County also includes the two hospitals that spent the most on uncompensated care in Ohio last year: Cincinnati Children's Hospital and University Hospital. Much of that cost is incurred when low-income patients use services and can't afford to pay for them — an issue that would be in part resolved if the same patients could pay for care through Medicaid.
Under the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), states are
asked to expand Medicaid eligibility so the public health insurance
program covers anyone at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty
level, or an annual income of about $15,856 for a single-person
household. If states accept, the federal government will carry the
entire cost of the expansion for the first three years then phase down
its burden to indefinitely pay for 90 percent of the expansion's cost. That's much higher than the 73-percent share the federal government paid for Ohio's Medicaid program in 2010.
Earlier this year, the Health Policy Institute of Ohio released an analysis that found the Medicaid expansion would insure nearly half a million Ohioans and save the state about $1.8 billion in the next decade.
Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, and Democratic legislators support the Medicaid expansion, but Republican lawmakers, who control the Ohio legislature, have so far resisted it.
Republican legislators say they're concerned the U.S. government won't be able to afford its future Medicaid payments, even though the federal government has done so since the program was first established in 1965. Many tea party Republicans also oppose Medicaid and other public health programs from a philosophical perspective that calls for smaller government.
Ohio Health Issues Poll results released in June found 63 percent of Ohioans support the Medicaid expansion, with a margin of error of 3.3 percent.
Legislative leaders have said they will vote on a Medicaid
overhaul bill and perhaps a separate bill including the Medicaid
expansion when they reconvene in October.
Despite strong backing from Republican Gov. John Kasich, the Medicaid expansion didn't make it into the final version of the two-year state budget passed by the Republican-controlled General Assembly on Thursday.
Col Owens, co-convener of the Southwest Ohio Medicaid Expansion Coalition, calls the expansion's failure a disappointment, but he says he remains optimistic the expansion will be taken up in future legislation.
Under the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), the federal government is asking states to expand their Medicaid programs to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or an annual income of $32,499 for a family of four.
States are given a powerful financial incentive for doing so: For the
first three years, the expansion is entirely paid for by the federal
government. Afterward, the federal commitment is dropped to 90
percent, where it will indefinitely remain.
The federal government on average pays about 57 percent of Medicaid costs, while states pay for the rest. So the 90-percent match for the expansion is a uniquely lucrative deal.
But Republican legislators say they're skeptical the federal government can afford such a large commitment to Medicaid, often calling the size of the expansion unprecedented.
Owens claims there is a precedent for the Medicaid expansion: Medicaid. He says the federal government has historically upheld its commitment to Medicaid, which insures 2.2 million Ohioans. There's no sign that will stop any time soon, according to Owens.
To support his claim, Owens cites scoring from the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a nonpartisan organization that
scores federal policy proposals to gauge their fiscal and economic
impact. In July 2012, the CBO found repealing Obamacare, which includes the
Medicaid expansion, would actually increase the federal deficit by $109 billion
over 10 years, which means the health reform law is an overall fiscal gain for the federal government.
At the same time, analysts have found the Medicaid expansion would be fiscally beneficial for Ohio. Earlier this year, the Health Policy Institute of Ohio released an analysis that found the Medicaid expansion would insure nearly half a million Ohioans and save the state about $1.8 billion in the next decade.
Instead of being concerned about fiscal problems, Owens concludes opponents of the Medicaid expansion simply dislike the president, Obamacare and Medicaid.
Michael Dittoe, spokesperson for Ohio House Republicans, pushes back at that notion. He points out the state budget will increase funding for Medicaid by $1 billion, allowing 231,000 more Ohioans to enter the system.
"When people say that we're not doing anything for Medicaid, obviously that's not true," he says. "Certainly, we could have gone down the road of not funding that particular provision."
The increased funding is going to people who are already eligible for Medicaid but, for whatever reason, aren't currently enrolled. The federal government expects the new enrollees to sign up as a result of Obamacare raising awareness and education about health coverage.
In other words, the federal government already expects Ohio to pay for these Medicaid enrollees. Failing to do so would have likely violated the state's Medicaid agreement with the federal government and, as Dittoe acknowledges when asked, resulted in penalties.
Although the Medicaid expansion is out of the state budget, there is a bill currently sitting in the House that would take up the expansion. Dittoe says that bill will likely be looked at in the early fall.
For legislators, that might be politically prudent: A poll released June 14 by the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati found 63 percent of Ohioans support the Medicaid expansion, with a margin of error of 3.3 percent. The University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research conducted the poll for the Health Foundation between May 19 and June 2.
The $62 billion state budget for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 passed the Republican-controlled General Assembly on Thursday. It's expected Kasich will sign it into law this weekend.

An annual human trafficking report released by Attorney General Mike DeWine gave Ohio a C. The grade, which comes from Shared Hope International, was a step up from D's in the previous two years. But DeWine says it's not enough, and further action will be taken. Ohio has made some strides on the human trafficking issue, including passage of a new "Safe Harbor" law for sex-trafficking victims, new details for minor trafficking victims and the training of 24,000 law-enforcement officers to better detect and help trafficking victims.
Gov. John Kasich is giving $5 million to mental health services to help curb and prevent violence. The news comes in the wake of school shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 and a California high school yesterday. Mental health services are important, but so is gun control, as CityBeat pointed out here. Vice President Joe Biden is currently heading an investigation to make suggestions on gun control to President Barack Obama.
The remaining businesses in Tower Place Mall were told to get out. Cassidy Turley, the court-appointed receiver of the mall, apparently filed eviction notices telling businesses to leave by March. The mall has been struggling for some time now, and the city of Cincinnati is currently in the process of trying to buy it. City Manager Milton Dohoney says the city had no part in the evictions.
The city of Mason is apparently becoming a technology corridor. Since 2011, the city has brought in $110 million in investments and created 1,400 jobs. The new jobs are related to technology, robotics, automation, innovation and health care.
Warren and Butler counties are apparently seeing a surge in sales tax revenue. The budgetary boost is being seen by some as a sign of further economic expansion.
Surrounded by dogs, Gov. Kasich signed legislation effectively banning puppy mills. Previously, animal advocates claimed lax rules and regulations had made Ohio a breeding ground for abusive practices. The lack of oversight also helped enable Ohio's dog auctions, which CityBeat covered here. The new law will go into effect within 30 days.
An Ohio school is apparently arming janitors. Previously, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters made a suggestion to arm school staff, but research shows it doesn't help deter or stop acts of violence.

The 1st Ohio District Court of Appeals released its decision this morning, just a few hours after one of the three judges who ruled against the retirees was reelected. Judge Pat Fischer, a Republican, was on the ballot Tuesday — and now there is no way to know whether the ruling could have had any adverse impact on his reelection bid.
The retirees, a group that included former City Clerk Sandy Sherman, contended their benefits could be increased, but that they were not subject to reduction. The appeals court scuttled the argument:
"At issue in this case is an ordinance enacted by the city council in 2009. The ordinance amended sections of the code pertaining to the retirement system. … After the 2009 ordinance, the plaintiff-appellants would have a deductible to $200 and out-of-pocket caps for healthcare and prescriptions of $2,000. The ordinance provided that the revisions to the retirement system would become effective on January 1, 2010."
The appeals court said hospital and medical benefits were in addition to retirement pension payments and were not subject to vesting, which meant they could be changed by ordinance.
"The distinction between the retirement allowances and the healthcare benefits has been maintained throughout the existence of the retirement system. The distinction is significant," the appeals court ruled.
The case could still be taken to the Ohio Supreme Court.
The following table shows the fund's assets, and the funding ratio, through 2010:
The Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") will lead to an increase in Ohio's raw health care premiums, but the increase will be more than offset by the law's tax credits, according to an Aug. 29 study from the RAND Corporation, a reputable think tank.
Specifically, health care premiums will rise to an average of $5,312 under Obamacare in 2016. Without the law, premiums would reach an average of $3,973 that year.
But when Obamacare's tax credits are plugged in, the average Ohio individual will only pay a premium of $3,131 — $842 less than an individual Ohioan would pay without the law.
The tax credits will be available to individuals between 100 percent ($11,490 in annual income) and 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($45,960 in annual income). The subsidies will be smaller for higher income levels, and the raw premium will vary depending on the insurance plan, so the premium and subsidy numbers don't apply perfectly across the board.
The numbers also only apply to Ohioans in the individual health insurance market. Under Obamacare, individuals will be able to enroll for health insurance through an online marketplace. The majority of Americans who get health insurance through their employers or public programs fall under different rules and regulations.
Obamacare will help more non-elderly Ohioans get health insurance. Without the law, 14.9 percent of non-elderly individuals would lack insurance. With the law, only 6.2 percent will go without insurance.
RAND attributes the difference in insurance rates to tax credits, which make health insurance more affordable, and the individual
mandate, which requires certain Americans buy health insurance or pay a fine.
The numbers are good news for Obamacare, which needs a certain amount of young adults to enroll to avoid causing health care costs to skyrocket. Federal officials say they expect to enroll 7 million people through individual marketplaces, but 2.7 million must be young adults. That's because young adults tend to be healthier, which will help balance out sicker, older people flowing into health care plans.
The online marketplaces are supposed to open enrollment on Oct. 1. The actual plans will go into effect on Jan. 1.

Ohio legislators appear ready to weaken environmental and energy regulations after months of lobbying by Akron, Ohio-based utility company FirstEnergy. The utility company argues the regulations, particularly energy efficiency standards that require customers use less electricity, cost businesses and customers too much money. But environmental groups and other supporters of the rules say FirstEnergy is just looking out for its own self-interests while putting up a front of caring about others. A study by the Ohio State University and the Ohio Advanced Energy Economy coalition found eliminating the energy efficiency standards would cost Ohioans $3.65 billion more on electricity bills over the next 12 years. State Sen. Bill Seitz, who's spearheading the regulation-weakening efforts, formally introduced his bill yesterday, and business groups say it's a backdoor way to eliminate energy efficiency standards and the in-state renewable business by weakening them so much.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati on Tuesday announced it won a 2013 Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because of local efforts to draw down dirty energy production and replace it with clean sources. The Cincinnati area currently produces nearly 408 million kilowatt-hours through green energy sources, which is enough to cancel out nearly 60,000 cars' emissions and meet 14 percent of the community's purchased electricity use, according to city officials. To commemorate the award, Mayor Mark Mallory unveiled a Green Power Community sign at the Cincinnati Zoo, which installed solar panels on its parking lot in 2011 and became one of the region's leading clean energy producers.Raw health insurance premiums for Obamacare's online marketplaces will be 16 percent lower than previously projected, according to the latest estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released less than one week before marketplaces open on Oct. 1. In Ohio, the average family of four making $50,000 a year will have to pay $282 a month after tax credits for the second cheapest "silver" plan, or $486 less than the plan would cost without tax credits. Under Obamacare, online marketplaces will allow consumers to compare and purchase subsidized health insurance plans in the individual market.

The Charter Committee, Cincinnati's unofficial third party, yesterday endorsed Roxanne Qualls for mayor. The endorsement comes as little surprise to most election-watchers, considering the Charter Committee has endorsed Qualls four times over the years.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is displeased it couldn't cover a private mayoral debate between Qualls and ex-Councilman John Cranley because the group hosting the debate closed its doors to the public.
Ohio Democrats yesterday made their endorsements for 2014: Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald for governor, former Hamilton County Commissioner David Pepper for attorney general, State Sen.

Monkey Town
Monkey Town
The Summer of the Scopes Trial
Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers, Hardcover, 9781416905721, 272pp.
Publication Date: January 24, 2006
In a story rife with first love and the pain of growing up, master storyteller Ronald Kidd reincarnates the most enduring trial of the twentieth century.
School is out in the summer of 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee. For Frances Robinson, a fifteen-year-old daydreamer with a crush on her teacher, John T. Scopes, summer vacation promises tennis, and Coca-Colas from her father's drug store. But when Frances's father, the school board chairman, has Scopes arrested for teaching evolution, the sleepiest place on earth becomes a hotbed for famous thinkers, including H. L. Mencken, Clarence Darrow, and William Jennings Bryan. Overnight the world is flocking to Dayton to decide: Are people really descended from monkeys? Does the theory of evolution have a place in biology class? As Frances sees the man she loves crumbling beside her, she begins to question her town, her neighbors, and the father she has always trusted.
Readers will devour this colorful yet tender story -- reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird -- told from the perspective of a young girl as she evolves into a woman.
Ronald Kidd is the author of the highly acclaimed Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial, as well as On Beale Street. His novels of adventure, comedy, and mystery have received the Children's Choice Award, an Edgar Award nomination, and honors from the American Library Association, the Library of Congress, and the New York Public Library. He is a two-time O'Neill playwright who lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Regardless the shape and impact of health care reform legislation, how new health care technologies are communicated to the American public is a major issue. And today a reader sent me a new example of how journalism must improve.
The Asbury Park (NJ) Press reports on a local medical center trumpeting its use of two technologies to treat lung cancer – Cyberknife and Super D. The story reads like a hospital news release, using phrases such as:
"puts hospital on the cutting edge"
"The intrusive ways of the past to diagnose and treat cancer — by using the needle and scalpel — are being replaced by the electronic hum of computers and the whir of robots."
"Riverview is the only medical center in the state with Super D and the latest Cyberknife technology"
"We have the newest technology in the state"
"It also means treatment can begin sooner and have a better outcome"
Well, wait just a minute about outcomes. The story contains no data, no evidence, no proof of better outcomes.
In fact, hidden away at the very end of the story is this:
"Academic studies are now underway comparing the effectiveness of Cyberknife cancer treatment to conventional surgery."
Usually, we want to wait until the studies are done and until the evidence is in before we proclaim that something is "curing the cancer" or that it's "the wave of the future." Otherwise that wave can become a tsunami of overuse and runaway costs – before we even know if what's newer is better.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
Good point made. Is it really better than surgery in some cases? Maybe. However it would be wise for people to know whether or not its the best for 'your' case. Second opinions are a good thing.
What I find interesting here, is that they didnt show the face mask. I researched cyberknife, and they use some kind of mask over a patient's head to treat head cases. I think this hospital is inaccurately representing CK treatment by showing the treatment for a head case without showing the mask.

South of Loch Earn - Ben Vorlich, Stuc a'Chroin & neighbours
Main route summary
Ben Vorlich and Stuc a'Chroin are prominant landmarks, seen rising above the Braes O'Doune windfarm when viewed from the south. The routes described here head in along good tracks and paths from Loch Earn to the north and from Loch Lubnaig to the south. Ben Vorlich is ascended without any difficulties, however Stuc a'Chroin may require some scrambling if connecting with Ben Vorlich via Bealach an Dubh Choirein.
The main routes can easily be extended to include the quieter Corbett peaks of Beinn Each and Meall nan Fearna.

Edinburgh has been without a full-time school superintendent for about nine months, and the school board sees no reason for that to change anytime soon.
About a month-and-a-half after Superintendent Denise Bessler resigned from Edinburgh, the school district hired David Glentzer as a temporary leader.
Since then Glentzer has been in charge of overseeing the school district's budget and has been finding ways to save Edinburgh money. He also has been conducting building assessments and helping plan for the future of the school district, which has more than 900 students and more than 60 teachers, school board member Cathy Hamm said.
Finding a permanent leader isn't a priority right now because Glentzer is meeting Edinburgh's needs, Hamm and board member Alice Taulman said.
"At this point there is not a need to search for a full-time superintendent. Obviously there will be in the future. We're just not sure when that time is going to be," she said.
Glentzer doesn't have a contract with Edinburgh. He's being paid $417.02 per day and receives no medical insurance or retirement contributions from the district.
Board members haven't discussed the possibility of hiring him full time, Hamm said.
Glentzer said he doesn't have a timeline in mind regarding how long he will stay with Edinburgh. When he was hired, he told the school board he would remain with the school district as long as he remained healthy, was productive and received support.
All three requirements are being met, and eventually it will be up to school board members to decide whether he remains as superintendent or someone else is hired, Glentzer said.
"It doesn't bother me one way or the other. I'm fine with what we're doing and the way we're doing it," Glentzer said.
Not having Glentzer under contract means he could decide to leave, and Edinburgh again would be without a leader. If that happened, one of the school district's current administrators, such as Edinburgh Community High School Principal Kevin Rockey, could fill in until another interim is found, Hamm and Taulman said.
But neither board member is worried about that, and both said every school district faces the possibility of having the superintendent leave on short notice. Other school board members were not available or said Hamm should comment on the issue.
"The important thing is that even though he's an interim the job is getting done. The administration is running well, the corporation is doing great. You don't have to have someone under permanent contract to move forward and succeed," Hamm said.
Before a superintendent search can begin, board members will need to create a list of qualities they're looking for in a full-time leader. Glentzer's leadership could help shape what's included on that list, Hamm said.
She added the school board has no immediate plans to start looking.
"At this point, there's not a need to do that because of the leadership we have in place today," Hamm said.
A contract can give school districts time to prepare, if and when leaders say they're leaving.
Over the summer, then-Clark-Pleasant Superintendent Kevin Caress told officials he planned to retire during the school year. But Caress didn't leave immediately, partly because his contract required him to give the school board several months' notice before leaving the school district. Caress left Clark-Pleasant in early October after spending more than three months preparing interim Superintendent Becky Courtney-Knight to take over.
Courtney-Knight will serve as Clark-Pleasant's interim superintendent through the end of the school year. The school board has created a timeline for hiring a full-time superintendent, which members hope to name by May.

State college recruiting: Westmoore's Jhames West will switch to defense at East Central University
Westmoore football standout Jhames West signed his letter of intent to attend East Central University in Ada. The speedy 6-foot, 183-pound West received most of his recruiting attention for his play at quarterback and wide receiver. However, he will move permanently to the defensive side of the ball and play cornerback for the Tigers.
West talked with The Oklahoman on signing day about the recruiting process, playing cornerback, and a fellow Westmoore teammate heading to East Central.
How does it feel to have this out of the way and be officially going to East Central?
"I'm very excited to get this out of way, just because the last month of the recruiting process is so tough. You have to pick a school and you don't want to make the wrong decision. I feel good about the decision I made and I'm just ready to get on with the next chapter in my life."
What made things so difficult for you at the end of the recruiting process?
"It was a little weird for me, because playing receiver I had a lot of the big schools looking at me and then I moved to quarterback and that changed things a little bit. It made my decision tougher having to realize that I was going to have to go to a D-2 school and not play receiver."
You're going to play cornerback at East Central, is that what you wanted to do?
"Playing corner isn't necessarily what I wanted to do, but my main thing is I want to play. Wherever that is I'm fine with it. No, it's not what I want to do, but I'm going to adapt and have fun with it."
You have a teammate, linebacker Josh Morgan, going to ECU with you. How excited are you to continue playing with him?
"I'm very excited. My relationship with Josh is one of a kind. We are very close and we're going to room together. It's going to be fun, I can't wait."

A sheriff's deputy was suspended without pay after he was charged with six internal rules violations, including insubordination and conduct unbecoming an officer.
Sheriff Doug Cox had asked the sheriff's office merit board to fire Sgt. Bill Pfifer after an internal investigation found that Pfifer had made comments about the sheriff that violated departmental rules after previously being warned not to, and talked about the confidential internal investigation.
Pfifer, a 16-year veteran of the department, received a 32-day unpaid suspension and will not be allowed to work part-time jobs that involve police powers and will lose his take-home vehicle during that time.
The sheriff's office merit board found that he had violated five departmental rules, including conduct unbecoming an officer, not obeying orders, insubordination, making improper public statements and not displaying courtesy. A sixth charge of campaign activity was dismissed by the board. The merit board had the decision to do nothing, reprimand, demote, suspend or terminate Pfifer.
The internal charges stemmed from a conversation Pfifer had with Prince's Lakes Town Marshal Greg Southers while he was on-duty earlier this year.
Southers told sheriff's office investigators that Pfifer made comments about the sheriff that violated departmental rules. Pfifer had been given a written reprimand in 2011 when a sheriff's office employee told supervisors Pfifer had a discussion about the sheriff that violated departmental rules.
At the time, he was told not to have similar discussions in the future, said Jim Sargent, the attorney representing the sheriff's office. He was also told if he had similar discussions in the future, he could face discipline from the merit board.
"You can't allow a senior officer to disrupt those serving with or under him," Sargent said.
Pfifer denied that he had the conversation with the other employee in 2011. He said he had the conversation with Southers earlier this year, but that he did not make the comments Southers told investigators about. He said Southers had exaggerated or embellished a conversation about politics.
Attorneys for Pfifer also said the sheriff holds a grudge against Pfifer after he ran against him in the 2010 primary election for the Republican nomination for sheriff. Pfifer was moved from investigations to a position in the jail shortly after the election, and he is at the top of the department's promotion list but hasn't been promoted to an open lieutenant position, they said.
Pfifer also has a constitutional right to freedom of speech, especially to express his political views, and can't be forced to have the same views as the sheriff, his attorney John Kautzman said.
"Our democracy doesn't require you to support the cause," Kautzman said.
Cox said he did not hold a grudge against Pfifer after the election, though he believed Pfifer held a grudge against him, and his decision not to promote him had nothing to do with any type of grudge.
Board members made the decision Pfifer should be suspended after hearing testimony from multiple sheriff's office employees and law enforcement officials. The merit board includes five members, with two appointed by sheriff's deputies and the other three appointed by the sheriff. The members are Joe Brown, Jerry Dunn, Jim Higdon, William Paddack and William Province.
In the disciplinary hearing, Southers said that he and Pfifer met for a break in May. During that conversation, he and Pfifer discussed the recent county elections and their jobs.
Southers testified that Pfifer told him Cox would be a one-term sheriff, that he doesn't call him sheriff and instead calls him sir and that Pfifer had heard from Cox's ex-girlfriend that Cox was involved in a relationship with a sheriff's deputy. Southers then told another sheriff's deputy about the conversation, and the deputy told the sheriff, who started an internal investigation into Pfifer. Cox talked with Southers and asked him to write a statement, and then Maj. Bob Sexton, chief of investigations, conducted the internal investigation.
Cox said he was disturbed by the comments and that he was not having a relationship with the employee.
Pfifer said he didn't make the statements Southers claimed he did, and that he believed Southers was embellishing and exaggerating a conversation the two had about politics.
After Pfifer was told of the internal investigation, he then called Southers and told a co-worker, former co-worker and his wife about the case. Information about internal investigations is confidential.
Sheriff's office officials said Pfifer should have known the information was confidential because that is in the department's rules and he has conducted internal investigations regarding other employees in the past.
Pfifer said he was not told to keep the information confidential until after he had already contacted people, when he received a message from the sheriff's office chief of investigations. He then did not tell anyone else, he said.
He said he should have reviewed the rules better.
Pfifer said he had talked to Southers but had not made the statements Southers said he had. He did at one time say the sheriff would serve one term, but that was while he was off-duty, campaigning for other county officials, he said.
"I don't believe I have violated any rules," Pfifer said.
Kautzman said under the sheriff's office policies, he didn't believe the comments Pfifer had made violated any rules or regulations.
What was actually said also likely changed when it was relayed through multiple people. And if Pfifer did discuss political issues, he has a right to do that, Kautzman said.
Pfifer said he was surprised at how far the case had gotten.
"The rest of this is an absolute travesty, and it amazes me it has gotten to this level," Pfifer said.
Cox said the entire issue was troubling and he believed Pfifer was being dishonest. He said under the department's rules, officers are not allowed to campaign for office while on duty or in uniform or make statements that bring trouble to the department or reflect badly on the department.
"I don't know any CEO of a company or any other sheriff that's going to put up with this kind of thing," Cox said.
"We have rules for a reason, and that's to keep order."
