This manual explains how you can protect your rights when you deal with the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. In this manual, we will call the Illinois Department of Human Services "IDHS" and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services "IDHFS."
IDHS is the main welfare department. IDHS is in charge of cash benefits and Food Stamps. Every time you meet with your caseworker, you are in an IDHS office. Many people call IDHS "public aid" because that is what it used to be called. In this manual, we will call it IDHS.
IDHFS is in charge of medical assistance (including FamilyCare and All Kids) and child support assistance programs. You might get mail or notices sometimes from HFS as well as from IDHS.
This manual explains what you can do:
This manual focuses mostly on the appeals and grievance processes for IDHS and IDHFS. You can use these processes to challenge things that IDHS does that affect your case. You can also use the appeals process described in this manual to challenge things that IDHFS does that affect your Medicaid. There are also some special procedures for child support that we describe briefly at the very end of the manual.
Even though most of the advice in this manual applies to both IDHS and IDHFS, we will usually mention only IDHS. We are doing this just to make the manual simpler.
This manual explains how you can make IDHS review your case and give you a hearing. This process is called an appeal.
This manual also explains what you can do if you feel that you have been treated badly by an IDHS employee. If you feel you have been treated badly, you can file a grievance. You can file both an appeal and a grievance if you want.
The advice in this manual applies to these programs:
There are also some special procedures for child support. These procedures are described very briefly at the end of the manual.
You can use this manual if you:
The manual has four parts.
This manual was written by the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law. For more information, visit our website at www.povertylaw.org. Development and production of this manual were funded by a generous grant from the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation.
Note to advocates and service providers:
The manual explains the appeals and grievance processes clearly so that you can advise your clients and so that you can serve as a representative in an appeal or a grievance. Please feel free to make copies of this manual to distribute to your clients and colleagues. The manual is also available at our website at www.povertylaw.org.
IDHS changes policies often. An up-to-date copy of the IDHS policy manual can usually be found on the IDHS website at http://www.dhs.state.il.us/ts/cfsmm/.
This part is a summary. The details and explanations are in Part 3.
Make an appeal when:
The appeal must be sent to IDHS on time:
If you file the appeal quickly, your aid will not be cut right away.
While IDHS is deciding your appeal, you will keep getting the same aid.
To make an appeal:
Attend the pre-hearing conference to discuss your appeal. This is a good time to try to resolve your problem. If you miss the pre-hearing conference, you can still have a hearing.
Attend the hearing.
You can have someone speak for you at both the pre-hearing conference and the hearing. This person is your representative. Your representative can be anyone you choose, including a friend, a family member, a social worker, or a lawyer.
File a grievance when:
File a grievance
To file a grievance:
If your grievance is dismissed without a meeting, you can appeal that dismissal using the appeals procedures described in this manual.
Attend a meeting to discuss the grievance.
Remember: A grievance is about how you were treated, not the amount of benefits you receive. Only an appeal can get you benefits. However, you can do both if you feel you were treated poorly and you should get more benefits.
There are some things you can do to protect yourself when you are dealing with IDHS. Protecting yourself means that you are being a good advocate for yourself. It is a good idea always to do these things, even if you are not thinking about filing an appeal or a grievance, If you do file an appeal or a grievance, these things will make it much easier for you to win.
1) Keep track of all your conversations with IDHS. The best way to do this is to get a notebook. In the notebook, write down the date and time every time you call or go to the IDHS office. You should do this even if you don't get to talk to anybody. If you do talk to someone, always ask for his or her name. Write down his or her name, along with what happened in the conversation, (If the person refuses to give you his or her name, write that down, too.)
Here is an example of what a page of your notebook might look like.
June 1, 2007 8: 30 am Delivered check stubs to the IDHS office. Left them in the mailbox at the front desk in an envelope with my caseworker's name, Mrs. Doe, on it.
June 15, 2007 1O: OO am Did not get aid. Called IDHS office. Caseworker was busy. Left message for my caseworker with Mr. Smith.
June 16, 2007 9: 00 am Called caseworker. No answer.
June 17, 2007 10: 00 am Called caseworker. Spoke to her. She said she never got check stubs. She said I should deliver them directly to her tomorrow.
2) Keep copies of everything that you give to IDHS. This includes check stubs, verifications, forms, and other important papers. When you turn something in at the IDHS office, ask for a receipt. Also, if a log is available, always sign the log. The log is the sign-in sheet for the IDHS office.
3) Keep everything you get from IDHS. Find a special place, like a box or a drawer, and put all the IDHS papers in this place.
Even if you haven't done any of these things, you can still file an appeal or a grievance. But if you have done these things, you will have a better chance of winning.
2. How do I know if I should I file an appeal?
It is almost always a good idea to file an appeal immediately when something happens in your case that you are not happy about.
Filing an appeal immediately protects your rights. It makes sure that someone will pay attention to your case. If you wait for your caseworker to take care of the problem, you could lose your right to appeal.
Sometimes people think that they should try to work things out with caseworkers or supervisors before filing an appeal. That is not a good idea if it takes more than a day or two to resolve the issue. You can always work things out after you file the appeal.
Advice: Sometimes people are afraid to appeal because they think it will make their caseworker angry. Usually, it is a good idea to appeal anyway. Appealing shows your caseworker that you know your rights. Appealing also means that a supervisor must get involved with the case. Clients sometimes find that they are treated better, not worse, afterwards. If you are treated badly after you file an appeal, you can file more appeals and also a grievance. We talk about how to file a grievance later in this manual.
You can appeal anything that IDHS does or does not do that affects your case.
Here are some examples of things you can appeal:
You get a notice that there is a change in your aid. For example, you can appeal if:
Your aid stops without notice. For example, you can appeal if:
IDHS does not take action. For example, you can appeal if:
IDHS does not let you apply or denies your application. For example, you can appeal if:
Special advice for problems with applications: Appeals can take a long time, so it is usually a good idea to appeal and to re-apply. You can do both. If your second application is approved and then you win your appeal, IDHS will give you the extra benefits you would have received if your earlier application had been approved.
Overpayments. For example, you can appeal if:
Assignments to work-related activities. For example, you can appeal if:
Problems with child care assistance. For example, you can appeal if:
Problems with Medicaid or KidCare. For example, you can appeal if:
Remember -- your Medicaid appeal might be with IDHFS, not IDHS. Either way, the procedures will be the same.
Advice about Medicaid appeals: If you live in Chicago and want help with a Medicaid appeal, contact Nelson Soltman at the Legal Assistance Foundation of Chicago at (312) 341-1070. Or, if you live in Cook County, you can call the Cook County Public Benefits Hotline at (888) 893-5327. If you do not live in Cook County, see the list of legal services programs at Appendix 2.
Remember -- these are just examples. You can appeal any action or failure to take action that has a bad effect on your case.
Advice: Sometimes caseworkers say you can't appeal. Sometimes caseworkers say that you should not appeal because you will lose. This is very bad advice. You can always appeal anything IDHS does with your case that you don't like. It is your right to appeal. Caseworkers often have no idea whether you will win or not. Ignore this advice and insist on your right to appeal.
Filing an appeal is very easy.
Advice: Sometimes local offices lose appeal notices. You might prefer to send your appeal directly to the Bureau of Assistance Hearings, 401 S. Clinton Street, 6th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60607, FAX 312- 793-3387. Or you can call 1-800-435-0774 (TTY 877-734-7429) to appeal. If you call this number, ask for the name of the person that you talked to. Write down that name and the date and time that you called. Also ask the person for your appeal number, and write that down too.
Special Advice for Child Care Appeals: If you are appealing about a problem with your Child Care Resource and Referral Agency, you may be better off turning your Notice of Appeal form into that agency or mailing it to: Bureau of Child Care and Development, 400 lles West Lawrence, Springfield, IL 62762. If you do turn in your form to your local IDHS office or appeal by calling the l-800 number or by writing to Assistance Hearings, be sure to state clearly that the appeal is about childcare benefits.
You do not need a lawyer to appeal.
You can do an appeal by yourself. You can also appoint someone to speak for you. That person is called your representative. Your representative can be anyone you want. Sometimes it can help to have a representative. Your representative may be someone who you think can help you tell your story. For example, your representative could be a lawyer, social worker, pastor, friend or family member.
Advice: You do not need a lawyer in order to appeal. But if you want a lawyer, you can try to get one through a legal services program. If you live in Cook County, call the Cook County Public Benefits Hotline at (888) 893-5327. If you live outside of Cook County, look at the list of legal services programs in Appendix 2 and call the program for your county.
Be sure to put the representative's name, address and phone number on the Notice of Appeal. That way, the representative will get copies of all the notices you get about the case. The representative can also fill out the Notice of Appeal for you and can sign it (noting that she is signing as your representative). You should give the representative something in writing saying he or she can represent you that he or she can show to IDHS.
Advice: You can get a representative after you file the appeal, if you want. Find out who is the "appeals coordinator" at your local office. Tell that person about your representative. Also tell the Bureau of Assistance Hearings. Call or write the Bureau of Assistance Hearings at IDHS, 401 South Clinton, Chicago, Illinois 60607, 1-800-435-0774, FAX (312) 793-8573. Ask the Bureau of Assistance Hearings to send copies of all notices to your representative. Or you can bring the representative to the hearing or the pre-hearing conference and tell IDHS that you have a representative. If you do it this way, the representative might not get all of the notices that you get.
There are some important rules about when to appeal.
IDHS considers an appeal filed on the day it gets the Notice of Appeal, unless it is mailed. If it is mailed, the postmark date is the date on which the appeal is filed.
If you are appealing a notice you have gotten
If an appeal is not made on time, you can lose your appeal even if IDHS did something wrong in your case. For cash and medical benefits, you must appeal within 60 days of the "date of notice" which is on the top of the notice. For child care benefits, you also have 60 days from the date of notice to appeal. For Food Stamps, you must appeal within 90 days of the "date of notice." Click to get an example of a "date of notice." Day one is the day after the date of notice.
If the 60th or 90th day is a weekend or holiday, the appeal is on time if IDHS gets it or it is postmarked on the next business day.
If the envelope the notice came in is postmarked after the "date of notice," the postmark date is the date to count from. Save the envelope as proof.
Advice: Sometimes it is worth appealing even if you are past the time limit. If something has happened to your case that is wrong, sometimes IDHS will fix it even if the appeal is too late.
Advice: Food Stamps have a longer time limit than other kinds of benefits. But if your appeal involves both Food Stamps and other aid, you still have to file the appeal within 60 days to cover all the different types of aid.
IMPORTANT: If you are appealing a notice that tells you your aid will be stopped or cut, you can continue getting full aid during the appeal.
Example: Ms. Jones gets a new job, and she tells her caseworker. Ms. Jones then gets a notice saying that she will get no more aid because of her new job. Ms. Jones thinks that she should still get some aid. She files the appeal before the date of change on her notice and continues to get full aid until the appeal is decided.
Click for a sample of Illinois Department of Public Aid's Notice of Change here.
Advice: Be sure to mark the boxes on the Notice of Appeal form that say you want to continue to get cash assistance and Food Stamps. On the example form, we have shown how to check those boxes.
Advice: If you lose the appeal, you may have to pay back the aid you got while the appeal was pending. IDHS can collect the overpayment in small amounts (about ten percent) out of your monthly aid, or in other ways if you go off of aid altogether. If you go off aid altogether, IDHS can collect an overpayment by taking a tax refund or by hiring a collection agency to get the money from you.
If you do not want aid paid pending appeal, mark the boxes that say you do not want your aid to continue. When you decide whether or not to ask for aid pending appeal, keep in mind that it can sometimes take months for an appeal to be decided so you might be better off asking for aid paid pending appeal if you can.
Advice: Sometimes caseworkers say you can't get aid while you are appealing. If this happens, you can tell the caseworker to look in her Policy Manual at section 01-07-04. If that doesn't work, file another appeal!
Advice: The earlier you appeal, the more chance you have of keeping Advice: your aid with no interruption. If you appeal only a few days before the date of change, your aid may be late. It is also a good idea to call the caseworker or her supervisor to remind them that you have asked for aid paid pending appeal.
Even when you are receiving aid paid pending appeal, your aid may be cut or stopped for reasons having nothing to do with the appeal.
Example: Ms. Washington gets a notice that her aid will be cut because one of her children has moved out of the house. This is not true, so she files an appeal and asks for aid paid pending appeal. While the appeal is pending, Ms. Washington gets a job. She reports her job to her caseworker. Even though Ms. Washington is getting aid paid pending appeal, her caseworker still reduces her aid because she got a job.
There are also exceptions to the rule of aid pending appeal.
You can still appeal, of course. You just can't get aid paid pending appeal. If you win, you will you will get benefits dating back to when you were cut off.
You also cannot get aid paid pending appeal if you are applying for aid or if IDHS has already cut your benefits and it is more than 10 days after the "date of notice" and it is also after the "date of change."
Example: Mr. Arroya applies for aid. He has no income and he is disabled. His application is denied. He files an appeal. He cannot get aid pending appeal because he was not getting aid in the first place. If he wins the appeal, he will get retroactive benefits.
Advice: If you are not sure if you can get aid paid pending appeal, ask for it anyway on the notice of appeal form. It doesn't hurt to ask.
If you are appealing something you did not get a notice for:
There is no time limit for the appeal. It is always better to appeal as soon as possible.
Example: Ms. Smith goes to her local IDHS office to apply for aid. A caseworker takes her application, but Ms. Smith never gets benefits or hears anything back. Ms. Smith can appeal this at any time.
Advice: IDHS staff may say that an appeal is too late if it is filed more than 60 days after something for which you got no notice. Remind them of the rule that there is no time limit when a client did not get a notice. You can say, "This rule is in your Policv Manual at section 01-07-03."
7. What happens after I file the appeal?
Within 7 days, IDHS is supposed to review your case. They might decide at that point that they made a mistake. They might decide that they were right and do nothing. They might decide that something altogether different needs to be done.
Advice: This review often does not happen. If it does happen, you will get a notice if IDHS decides it has made a mistake or if they decide to do something different. If IDHS decides it has made a mistake, you can stop your appeal. (See the section called "What if IDHS asks me to withdraw my appeal?" .) If they take a different action, you can appeal that action if you don't agree with it.
Within 10 days, you should get a notice of a "pre-hearing conference," also called a "pre-hearing meeting", "pre-appeal conference" or sometimes just "pre-appeal." (An example of a pre-hearing conference notice is on the next page.) If you are appealing denial of expedited Food Stamps, the pre-hearing conference should be held within 2 days.
Advice: If you have not heard anything about the pre-hearing conference after two weeks of filing your appeal, call your local office. Call your caseworker's supervisor to ask for the pre-hearing conference. To find out who the supervisor is, call the main number at your local office. You can ask who your caseworker's supervisor is by using your caseworker's name or the caseload number that is on your medical card.
If you want to attend the pre-hearing conference but can't attend at the scheduled time, call the person whose name is on the notice and ask to change the date. It is best if you can call before the conference, but you can still call afterwards if you missed it and want to reschedule.
Click here for a sample of IDHS's Pre-Appeal Conference Appointment Letter.
8. What happens at a pre-hearing conference?
A pre-hearing conference is a meeting between you, your caseworker's supervisor, and your caseworker. (Often the caseworker does not go to this meeting.) Be sure to bring any papers about your case with you to this meeting.
For certain Medicaid appeals and for child care appeals, the pre-hearing conference may be with staff from outside the local office.
Sometimes, the pre-hearing conference is held by telephone. If it is difficult for you to go to the local office (because, for example, you are working during the day), you can ask to have the pre-hearing conference by telephone. If your appeal is about a child care problem, it will probably be held by telephone with someone from the Bureau of Child Care and Development in Springfield.
You can ask for child care payments if you need childcare to attend the pre-hearing conference. You can make this request up to 30 days after hearing date. If your caseworker does not know about this policy, tell her to look at the Policy Manual at section 01-07-13.
Special advice for AABD disability applicants: If you are trying to show that you are disabled so that you can get AABD benefits, you can submit new medical evidence at any time while you are waiting for your hearing. You can do this at the pre-hearing conference or at any time later. Bring or send the medical evidence to your local office. Ask them to send the evidence to Springfield for another review. Sending additional evidence is the best way to get an AABD medical card, instead of waiting for the hearing. If you do bring this information to the hearing, the hearing will be postponed so that the new evidence can be looked at in Springfield.
If you have a representative, you should go to the pre-hearing conference with your representative. If you have a representative, IDHS should not hold the pre-hearing conference without your representative.
Advice: You do not have to go to the pre-hearing conference. However, it is almost always a very good idea to go to the pre-hearing conference. At the conference, IDHS should evaluate if they did the right thing. If they need some information from you, you can give it to them then (or agree to bring it in on another day). Very often, it is possible to come to an agreement at the pre-hearing conference.
You should take any papers about your case with you to the pre-hearing conference. This includes records that you have kept about your contact with IDHS. You should also take any papers you think IDHS will need to see to solve your problem, such as, for example, a doctor's note or your paycheck stubs.
Sometimes, IDHS will insist that what they did was correct.
Advice: Do not take IDHS's word that they are right. You should demand to see the written policy.
9. What if IDHS asks me to withdraw my appeal?
At the pre-hearing conference, IDHS will probably ask you to withdraw the appeal.
But you should withdraw your appeal only if:
Advice: You should not withdraw your appeal just because IDHS says you are going to lose. If you withdraw the appeal, you may not be able to appeal the same incident again.
A blank Request to Withdraw Appeal form is attached here.
Advice: If you agree to withdraw the appeal, clearly write on the withdrawal appeal form whatever IDHS has promised to do.
Example: At Ms. Goldberg's pre-hearing conference, IDHS promises to lift her sanction, Ms. Goldberg agrees to withdraw her appeal. On the appeal withdrawal form, she writes that she has agreed to withdraw her appeal because IDHS has promised to lift the sanction.
Click here for a sample of IDHS's Request to Withdraw Appeal.
Advice: Always keep a copy of the withdrawal of appeal form signed by both you (or your representative) and by the local office staff. If lDHS does not do what they promised, you can appeal their failure to live up to the agreement described in the withdrawal of appeal form.
Sometimes you might want to withdraw the appeal if it is very clear that IDHS was right about your case.
Advice: You never have to withdraw the appeal even if you think you will lose. It is your right to continue with the appeal. You should not withdraw your appeal just because IDHS says that you will lose.
Special advice if you are appealing a sanction: Do not withdraw the appeal unless IDHS agrees to remove the record of the sanction. If IDHS has agreed it was wrong or that you had good cause, make sure IDHS has agreed to remove any record of the sanction from your file before you withdraw the appeal. This is important because every time you get sanctioned, the sanction is worse than the last time. If IDHS agrees that you should not have been sanctioned, that sanction should not count. Your next sanction should be no worse than this one. If your caseworker refuses to agree to this, ask to speak to a supervisor.
If IDHS does not do what they said they would do on the withdrawal of appeal form, you should file another appeal about that. Attach a copy of the withdrawal of appeal to show what IDHS agreed to do.
10. How do I find out about the hearing?
After the pre-hearing conference, you will get a notice of hearing. This notice will tell you
Click here for a sample of IDHS's Bureau of Assistance's Hearing Notice.
If you cannot attend the hearing, you must contact this office to request a delay:
Bureau of Assistance Hearings
Department of Human Services
401 South Clinton, 6th Floor
Chicago, IL 60607
Phone: (800) 435-0774, Fax: (312) 793-8573
You must make your request for a delay in writing. Include your case number and the appeal number. You must show a good reason for missing the hearing, like illness or having to work. IDHS will not give you a delay just because you want more time.
If you do not hear back that your delay has been granted, you should try to go anyway.
Advice: lDHS almost never gives delays ahead of time. If you really cannot go to the hearing, try to send someone in your place. That person can explain why you are not there and can ask for a delay.
Advice: If you miss the hearing without good cause, IDHS will dismiss your appeal. It will be very hard to appeal again. This is different from the pre-hearing conference. If you miss the pre-hearing conference, nothing bad will happen to your case or your appeal.
Advice: If there are certain times that will be difficult for you to attend a hearing, you can request that the hearing be scheduled at a different time. You can make this request even before the first hearing is scheduled. For example, you could write to IDHS at the address above and explain that because you work from 9: 00 a.m. to 1: 00 p.m., you would like to have your hearing scheduled for 2: 00 p.m. or later. Include your case number and the appeal number if you know it. There is no guarantee that IDHS will do what you ask, but it is worth asking them anyway.
You do not need to make the request for a delay in writing for the first delay of an appeal that is only about Food Stamps. For the first delay of a Food Stamps-only appeal, you do not need to show a good reason.
Advice: It is a good idea to make your request in writing anyway. Remind IDHS in your request that for Food Stamps you do not need to show a good reason to get a first delay.
Advice: You might get a notice of a hearing even if you have already withdrawn the appeal. When that happens, you can ignore the notice of the hearing. Nothing bad will happen to your case if you ignore that notice.
12. What happens if I miss the hearing?
If you miss the hearing, you will get a notice saying that your appeal was dismissed. A sample Notice of Dismissal of Appeal is attached. The notice will say that your appeal can be started again if you can show "good cause" for missing the hearing, You must respond to the notice within 10 days. Good cause includes:
Also, sometimes people do not receive notices for hearings. If this happens, you should explain that you did not attend the hearing because you had no notice.
Advice: You may get a notice dismissing the appeal even if you attended the hearing or got a delay before the hearing. If that happens, write a letter saying what happened to the Bureau of Assistance Hearings, Department of Human Services, 401 South Clinton, Chicago, IL 60607. In the letter, ask to have your appeal reinstated and your hearing rescheduled. Do this as soon as possible.
If you miss the hearing without good cause, your appeal may be dismissed. This means that you have lost the appeal and IDHS will not change the decision they made in your case. If you think that you had a good reason for missing the hearing, you might be able to have a court reinstate your appeal. Look at the section called "What if I disagree with the hearing officer's decision?"
13. How do I get ready for the hearing?
(1) Statement of Facts. At least two days before the hearing, you should get a copy of a "statement of facts." This is IDHS's version of what happened. If you do not get a statement of facts, you can ask for a delay at the hearing if you want one.
(2) Reviewinq your case file. You and your representative have a right to see your case file before or during the hearing. You can make an appointment to see the case file before the hearing with the caseworker or supervisor.
If you were denied the opportunity to see your case file before the hearing, you can ask for a delay so that you can see it.
Advice: You can look at your file during the pre-hearing conference. It can help to look at it with an IDHS staff member to explain what some of the papers mean. But don't assume that they are correct about everything they tell you. Ask a lot of questions, especially if something doesn't seem right to you. Or you can ask to speak to a supervisor.
You can get free copies of anything in the file that relates to a Food Stamps appeal. For other programs, IDHS can charge 10 cents a page for copies.
Advice: Often appeals involve many programs. If the appeal includes a Food Stamp issue, you should be able to get free copies of many of the papers in the file even if they also relate to other programs.
(3) Child care. You can ask for child care payments if you need them to attend the hearing or the pre-hearing conference. You can make this request for child care payments up to 30 days after the hearing date. If your caseworker does not know about this policy, tell her to look at the Policy Manual at section 01-07-13.
14. What happens at the hearing?
At the hearing:
Bring to the hearing any papers you have about the case. You should also bring any witnesses who will help support your case. If you have a witness who cannot come, ask that person to write a letter explaining what they know about your case.
Example: Ms. Jones applied for benefits, A week after she applied, she received a notice informing her to come to a meeting. She received the notice after the meeting had already happened. She called the intake worker who sent the notice but was told that it was too late and that her application would be denied. Ms. Jones appeals this decision. She brings to the pre-hearing conference a copy of the notice and the envelope it came in, which shows that the notice was postmarked only the day before the meeting.
Special advice for AABD applicants: At the hearing, you have a right to explain to the hearing officer why you think that you are disabled. You can also have witnesses testify for you. If you have had an SSI hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the same information you talked about there should be told to the hearing officer in this hearing.
You can bring new or additional medical evidence to the hearing, but it is better to submit it ahead of time.
At the hearing, you can object to evidence if it is hearsay. Hearsay means that the evidence was said or written by somebody who is not at the hearing. You must say the word "hearsay." You cal also question whether the hearsay evidence is reliable.
Example: Ms. Grange's aid was cut off because the caseworker thought that her children had gone to live with their father. At the hearing the caseworker says, "Your neighbor told me your kids went to live with their daddy." Ms. Grange says, "that's hearsay."
At the hearing you can also ask questions of any of IDHS's witnesses.
15. What happens if I win the I appeal?
If you win:
If you lose:
Advice: If you think the overpayment you have been charged with is too big, you can appeal it. If you are no longer on assistance and you have been charged with an overpayment that you agree you owe, it is probably a good idea to try to set up a payment plan. As long as you make small payments each month, IDHS will probably not send your case to a collection agency. If IDHS does send your case to a collection agency, you should still try to make a payment plan, this time with the collection agency.
If you lose, you can ask a court to review your appeal. See the section called "What if I disagree with the hearing officer's decision?"
16. How do I know when my appeal has been decided?
IDHS will issue a written Final Administrative Decision. You will get a copy of this in the mail.
17. How long will it take before my case is decided?
TANF, Medicaid, and AABD hearings are supposed to be held, decided, and the decision implemented within 90 days of when you filed the appeal.
Food Stamp hearings should be held and decided within 60 days of when you filed the appeal, and the decision implemented within 10 days of the decision.
If you ask for a delay, that delay will extend the time limits, IDHS will have longer to decide the appeal.
IDHS often misses these deadlines. In some cases, you can get some money from IDHS if IDHS misses the deadlines.
For TANF, Medicaid, and AABD, if IDHS does not decide and implement an appeal within 90 days after you file your appeal, you can get a $100 payment. You can get another $100 for each 30 day period the decision is not implemented. This is because of a lawsuit called Jeffries. If you have an overpayment, IDHS will keep this money and apply it to the overpayment.
For Food Stamps, if IDHS does not decide and implement an appeal within 60 days and you did not get full Food Stamps pending the appeal and you ultimately win, you may be eligible for a $100 payment and for another $100 for each additional 30 day period the decision is not implemented. This is because of a lawsuit called Dietrich. If IDHS decides 95% of the Food Stamps appeals in a month on time, no Dietrich payments will be available that month.
You cannot get both Jeffries and Dietrich payments at the same time, but you can get Dietrich payments for the period before you become eligible for Jeffries payments. You cannot get Jeffries or Dietrich payments if you withdraw your appeal.
You should automatically receive these payments within 60 days after you qualify. If you have not received a payment within 60 days after you believe you qualify, you can contact the Office of Legal Services, Department of Human Services, 100 South Grand Avenue, East, Springfield, Illinois 62762. Click here to see a form letter. You can fill this out and send it in. Click here to see a sample of a filled out letter.
18. What if I disagree with the hearing officer's decision?
You have 35 days from the date on the Final Administrative Decision (but it could be as long as 6 months if the only issue is Food Stamps) to go to court. A judge will review the IDHS decision.
Advice: It is a good idea to have a lawyer for this process. (You don't have to have one). If you get a Final Administrative Decision that you do not agree with, quickly get help from a lawyer. See Appendix 2 for a list of legal services programs around the state.
19. What can I do if I don't like the way my caseworker treats me?
You can file something called a "grievance." A grievance is a complaint about treatment by the caseworker or any other IDHS employee. It is not about a decision made in your case.
Here are some examples of reasons to file a grievance:
Sometimes, you might want to file both an appeal to fix your case, and a grievance to complain about the how the caseworker treated you.
Example: Ms. Henry has one child. Her caseworker demands information about her child's father. Ms. Henry does not know exactly where he is, but she is able to give some helpful information about him. Her caseworker sanctions her anyway. He also tells her that he thinks she must have been using drugs or was a prostitute because she does not seem to know much about her child's father. Ms. Henry appeals the sanction, but she also files a grievance to complain about the way her caseworker treated her.
20. How do I file a grievance?
You can file a grievance by giving IDHS a written complaint. It is best to use the IDHS grievance forms. (A blank form is attached here.) You can give this form to any IDHS office, but it is best to turn it in at your own local office. Click here for a filled out sample form for IDHS'S CLIENT GRIEVANCE FORM.
21. When should I file a grievance?
You must file your grievance within 60 days of the incident you are complaining about.
22. What happens when I file a grievance?
The grievance goes to a mediator. If the mediator thinks your grievance is not about something worth complaining about, he will tell you within 10 work days. Then your grievance will be over. You have the right to appeal this decision. Use the appeals process described in this manual.
If the mediator finds that the grievance is about something worth complaining about, he will call you to a meeting. This should happen within 10 work days of getting the grievance. The people at the meeting should include:
23. What happens at the grievance meeting?
At the grievance meeting, you will have the chance to tell the mediator what happened that you are complaining about. You should bring with you any evidence that you have. For example, if someone else heard what your caseworker said, bring that person with you or have him or her write a letter saying what they heard.
24. What happens after the grievance meeting?
The mediator will tell you in writing within 15 days if the grievance was found to have merit. He will tell you of any action being taken in your case. You might get a new caseworker, for example. You will not find out about any action taken against the employee. If your grievance is found to have merit, it will go into the worker's file. If there are enough grievances in the file, the worker could be fired, demoted or disciplined.
25. Can anythinq bad happen to me if I file a grievance?
IDHS staff is not allowed to retaliate against someone who files a grievance. If they do, file an appeal and another grievance.
There are three different procedures you can use if you are having trouble with child support for a child who lives with you. The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (IDHFS) is in charge of the Child Support Program. Even though IDHFS is in charge of the program, sometimes you might have to talk to your IDHS caseworker about your child support case, especially if you have not yet established paternity. Here are the 3 procedures:
IDHFS Child Support Program
To ask for an administrative accountability analysis, send a letter to:
In the letter, include all the information you have about the other parent of your child. You should also explain what it is you want the Child Support Program to do. For example, you could say that you want them to find out where the other parent is working.
Instead of the letter, you can also use a form to request an Administrative Accountability Analysis. This form is attached here. This is called a Request for Explanation form.
The Child Support Program should respond within 30 days. If they do not respond within 30 days, you can ask for a meeting using the form called the Request for a Conference form. If they respond and you do not agree with what they tell you or if you have more questions, you can also ask for a meeting using the same form.
To ask for an account review, send a letter to:
IDHFS Child Support Program
"Agee" Account Review Request
P.O. Box 19152
Springfield, IL 62794-9152
In the letter, describe your concerns. If you have gotten monthly statements from the Division of Child Support Enforcement, include a copy of the monthly statements you are concerned about. (If you don't have the monthly statements, send the letter anyway). There sometimes are delays in getting an answer.
If you are not happy with the results of the account review and you receive TANF, you can file an appeal, as described in this manual.
If you are not happy with the results of the account review and you do not receive TANF, you should ask for a redetermination. If you are not happy with the results of the redetermination, you can ask a court to review those results. You may want to get a lawyer for this process. See Appendix 2 for a list of legal services programs around the state.
We recommend that you copy these forms instead of tearing them out of the book.

Sidenotes With CSS
Buy The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Edward Tufte.I was inspired to build sidenotes for the web after reading Edward Tufte's design books. He suggests using sidenotes instead of footnotes because they are closer to the content you are referencing.
You can build sidenotes with absolute positioning. Set a parent block to
position: relative; and make a sidenote class like this:
.sidenote {
margin-right: -170px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: auto; /* default */
width: 150px;
Sidenotes follow text.This works because absolute positioning removes the element from the document's flow. The behavior of
top: auto; is to position the top of the sidenote where it would have flowed as an inline element.
This is a leftnote!You can add leftnotes too:
.leftnote {
left: 0;
margin-left: -170px;
margin-right: auto;
right: auto;
I published this after reading the first edition of Eric Meyer's CSS: The Definitive Guide. Anyone building web applications needs to study CSS, it is a powerful language and using it properly will keep your code short and application fast.

April 22, 2012 Third Sunday of Easter Luke 24:35-48 Reading HereFr. Robert deLeon, CSC
"They bent over their school desks, 104 years ago, putting pencils to paper. Writing letters to God. Onto paper the students poured thoughts and prayers they hoped would ascend, like so many curling wisps of smoke, into the skies above turn-of-the-century Buffalo [New York]. "Their writings would remain hidden from view for more than a century. Now – long after the schoolchildren who wrote them grew old and went to their graves – the letters written by students at Corpus Christi School have been rediscovered. And, as parish lore had long purported, they were found hidden in the cross – the one that rose steeply into the sky atop the church's south tower. "Parish members [were] delighted and humbled by the discovery. It's a display, they said, of long-ago faith. Of the kind of spirit that filled immigrant souls and built Buffalo from next to nothing into a strapping city. "Today, [the letters] are unreadable. Over the decades, they turned into masses of paste-like, corrugated material, from the dampness and temperature changes inside the cross and cupola. When removed by construction workers recently, the copper cupola yielded handfuls of thick, wet, gluey material. A few pieces can still be made out as stationery. "That discouraged Corpus Christi parishioners at first. But [they] have come to see the ruined letters as a blessing. They are going to replace them, in the cross that will be placed on the new cupola, with letters signed by the church's current flock. 'You build buildings from brick and stone,' said [the current pastor] 'But this is spiritual brick.' "Corpus Christi was founded in 1898 as a Polish-American parish, one of its earliest founders [being] Mother Colette Hilbert, a nun who was born in Poland, and who came to Buffalo to help start the parish. At Corpus Christi, Mother Colette founded a convent of Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph. According to church lore, [she] was the woman who had the brainstorm of having the children write letters to be put into the copper cross. After the cross was raised into the sky, [the children's letters] were forgotten. Or they entered parish lore – depending on whom you ask. "And that's all that it was – a rumor; a story – until the day when workers from Weaver Construction of Buffalo removed the cross and south cupola from the church. The copper of the structure had deteriorated so much, up in the Buffalo skies for 104 years, that it was about as thin as heavy-duty tinfoil. "Now the church's faithful are encouraging all parishioners to be part of the historic church's next century. New letters will be available for people to sign. [These] letters, along with some of the original 1907 letters, will be placed [inside] the new cross that will be erected on top of the repaired south tower." (Excerpted from "The Buffalo News," November 2, 2011) The gospel passage we hear today recounts a post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus to his disciples. St. Luke writes, "Jesus said to the disciples, 'Peace be with you.' They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, 'Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.'" (Luke 24:36-37, 39) Indeed, those terrified disciples knew for sure that Jesus had been killed. No doubt about it: he was dead as ever dead could be. What, then, was this? A ghost? But with smiling eyes and gentle smile, I can picture Jesus assuring his friends that they had nothing to fear. As a matter of fact, so real am I, says Jesus, that I'm hungry and want something to eat. And ghosts don't eat! So believe that I am alive. Still, though, even as the disciples shared a meal with Jesus, they could not comprehend what he had said to them, could not believe that he was truly dead and yet now truly alive. No doubt, they still thought of him as some unearthly specter. The concept of resurrection from the dead was beyond comprehension for those first followers of Jesus. The very idea was irrational, nonsensical. They had yet to come to a place beyond reason and sense – they had yet to come to faith. And no less is it our challenge today. When Corpus Christi's century-old cupola and cross came down, a tomb was opened, ghosts were set free, and the hopes and dreams of a long-past generation filled the present with pride of past and renewed zest for living toward the future. A resurrection story for sure! Indeed, the Easter season bids us welcome anew these spirits into our lives – the risen Jesus, surely – and also those many we've loved who have truly died and yet truly live. No longer bound by bodily constraints, they remain close to us as our next breath, whispering into our ears the hopes and dreams of generations past as they fill the present with renewed zest for living toward the future.

Meet Maxine Miller
Maxine Miller, born Oct. 15, 1912, is one of the oldest members in the longevity study. She is about to celebrate her 101st birthday, but says she does not allow her age to keep her from staying active and upbeat.
In speaking about her upcoming birthday, Maxine said, "I definitely don't feel that old!" and thought it was silly to put a number on the age she feels.
In her free time, Maxine enjoys reading, and playing dominos and cards with friends. A native of Coin, Iowa, Maxine fondly recalls memories of growing up in the small farming town. Maxine spent much of her early life in Iowa and later moved to California with her husband where they lived for 40 years.
Maxine and her husband moved from California to Arizona in order to be closer to her brother. In her younger years, Maxine worked as a legal secretary in a district attorney's office. She was very excited to land such a job as a teenager.
When asked what the most important factor contributing to her healthy aging and longevity is she quickly replied, "It's all in God's hands."
Maxine's faith is a central part of her life and she listens to church via her television at home. She advises the younger generation to build a strong relationship with the Lord and stay close to God. Maxine places all her trust in God's hands and knows he is guiding her life.

VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — Bryce Cotton hit the winning 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left and scored 18 points to lead Providence to a 55-52 win over Villanova on Sunday.
The Friars (11-11, 3-7 Big East) swept the Wildcats after beating them 69-66 last month. Vincent Council missed a jumper with 12 seconds left, but Josh Fortune grabbed the offensive rebound. Cotton buried the second-chance 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 2.2 left for a 55-52 lead.
The Friars nearly blew a nine-point lead with 4:34 remaining down the stretch.
JayVaughn Pinkston's driving bucket down the lane sliced Villanova's deficit to 52-50 with 46.8 seconds left. James Bell then intercepted a pass off a full-court press and was fouled. Bell hit both to make it 52-all with 42 seconds left.
Darrun Hilliard led the Wildcats (13-9, 4-5) with 17 points.

Full review: Prefab Pacific whim (1/11/2007)
Jinja Bar & BistroThis Asian-American eatery has a reputation for retro Pacific Rim decor and the clink of drinks with little umbrellas in them. If you're in the mood for East-meets-West fare like lettuce wraps, quaking beef or Tokyo crispy tofu, then load up the Prius and take a drive down Paseo del Norte. You'll also find a large selection of fine loose teas and more liquor than you can shake a limbo stick at. Have a yen for wine? Here it comes in white, red and plum. (Alibi Staff, October 10, 2012)

Elephant Bar RestaurantIf you're in the Uptown Mall and in need of a bite to eat, and perhaps an elephant safari, Elephant Bar might be your ticket. OK, so the elephants aren't real, and you can't ride on them, but the large dining room is full of carvings and sculptures of them, even more than palm trees. The food is Americanized Asian mishmash, with good salads and seafood. An organic green salad with walnuts and creamy gorgonzola was big and good, simple in a good way. The wood grilled trout with lobster sauce was pure joy to eat. Even better is the ahi tuna salad, available as both entrée and appetizer sized, which consists of slices of seared fish atop a pile of seaweed and salad greens, with pickled ginger and wasabi—and green sesame seeds.

Ease of Use
I have peripheral neuropathy; my feet hurt to the point that it was very painful to walk and they burned at night. I was on METANX, but because of cost, I decided to try FOLAST... thinking it was a genaric for METANX. It is not the same, my pain returned after being on FOLAST. After about 60 days of pain I went back to METANX.

After taking Folast for 6 months I have had a noticeble reduction in the sharp pains. My neurologist has switched me to Metanx this week stating that Folast is ineffective??? Oh well. I guess it was the placebo effect. Not.

Welcome to the latest installment of Vinography Unboxed, where I highlight some of the better wine samples that have crossed my doorstep recently.
This week's samples included a very nice Syrah from the coolest part of the Russian River Valley, Green Valley, from a producer who keeps getting better and better. Don't miss the earthy, herbal red blend from Weingut Christ in the city limits of Vienna, whose whites are also excellent, should you ever come across them. Russian Hill Estate Vineyards in the Russian River Valley is a reliable source of excellent California Pinot Noir, and their Lera's single vineyard bottling is always worth trying.
For those looking for wines that pack a weightier punch, check out Philippe Melka's "CJ" Cabernet or (also made by Melka) the Vineyard 29 "Cru" Cabernet.
On the lighter side, it's hard to find a better value rosé sparkling wine than the Jansz from Tasmania (though it may be a little difficult to find itself). And who says rosé can't age? Try the Tabarrini rosé of the local Sagrantino grape no matter what vintage you find it in.
All that and more below for this week's installment.
2008 Donelan Kobler Family Vineyard Syrah, Green Valley, Sonoma, California
Medium to dark garnet in color, this wine smells of smoky blueberry and blackberry fruit with a hint of meatiness. In the mouth cassis and blackberry flavors borne on a silky body mix with smoky and meaty notes. Everything is wrapped in a muscular coat of tannins and floral aromas linger in the finish. 14.5% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $ 38. click to buy.
2007 Maison Arnoux et Fils "Jean Marie Arnoux" Vacqueyras, Rhone Valley, France
Medium to dark garnet in color this wine initially has a funky earthy aroma, but after a few minutes this dissapates to reveal a gorgeous mix between cured meats and rich ripe red berries tinged with cedar. In the mouth, the wine is quite velvety with rich raspberry, cherry and smoked meat flavors shot through with a dark forest floor earthiness. The finish is substantial with floral qualities. 14.5% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $20. click to buy.
2006 Stone Edge Farm Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley, California
Dark garnet in color, this wine has a wonderfully sweet nose of dark chocolate covered cherries and tobacco. In the mouth the wine offers lightly sweet flavors of cherry and tobacco and the sweet vanilla of French oak. Sweet oak dominates the finish, somewhat overwhelming what is obviously a well made wine. 14.8% alcohol. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $26. click to buy.
2006 Weingut Christ "Mephisto" Red Blend, Vienna, Austria
Medium to dark garnet in color, this wine smells of freshly hulled walnuts, green bell peppers, and exotic flowers. In the mouth leathery tannins enclose flavors of cherry, plum, and dark floral qualities that mix with wet earth and pine boughs. Exotic and interesting. 14% alcohol. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $35. click to buy.
2008 Melka "CJ" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California
Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of black cherry and cola. In the mouth cherry cola and licorice flavors mix with darker leather and cocoa powder. Good acidity and fine grained tannins with a suede-like texture. Long finish. 14.8% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $45. click to buy.
2007 Russian Hill Estate Winery "Lera's Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, California
Light to medium garnet in the glass, this wine smells of cherry and raspberry fruit with hints of plum. In the mouth cherry and plum flavors bounce on a lively backbone of acidity while deeper mineral and earth tones linger beneath. Sophisticated and balanced, this wine has faint, fine grained tannins and a long finish with just a touch of heat to it. 14.9% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $45. click to buy.
2007 Star Lane Vineyard Merlot, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara, California
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of plum and black cherry. In the mouth, juicy black cherry and plum flavors mix with expresso and sweet oak. Mouthcoating tannins linger along with cocoa powder in the finish. 15% alcohol. Score: between 9 and 9.5. Cost: $34. click to buy.
2008 Vineyard 29 "Cru" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of black cherry and sweet oak. In the mouth rich cherry and chocolate flavors mix with cola and the vanilla of sweet oak as velvety tannins sweep the mouth. The finish has a hint of sweet oak, but the wood is quite well integrated. 14.8% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $57. click to buy.
NV Jansz Rosé Sparkling Wine, Tasmania, Australia
Pale peach colored in the glass with fine bubbles, this wine smells of canteloupe and strawberries. In the mouth a delicate mousse of bubbles carries flavors of strawberry, melon, and cranberry across the palate. Delicate and refined, this is a wonderful wine. 12.5% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $20. click to buy.
2009 Tabarrini Giampaolo "Bocca di Rosa" Sagrantino Rosé, Umbria, Italy
Pale pink in color, this wine smells of sea air and watermelon. In the mouth flavors of watermelon and stony minerals have a slight sweetness and warmth to them. A hint of heat creeps into the finish, but barely enough to notice. Quite tasty. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $27.
NV J Vineyards Brut Rosé of Pinot Noir Sparkling Wine, Russian River Valley, Sonoma
Palest of peach colors in the glass with fine bubbles, this wine has a nose of wet stones, orange oil, and strawberries. In the mouth the wine is zingy and bright with tart raspberry, orange peel, and bitter lemon flavors. Crisp and juicy on the finish this is a wine that is quite easy to gulp. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $25. click to buy.

The collaborative industry has been growing at an exponential rate, with the business model roughly defined as consumer peer-to-peer sharing of resources (for example: car sharing, rental accommodation or bike sharing). While the industry is by no means new, public awareness and inherent demand have moved the industry into the mainstream with the growth of companies such as Uber and Airbnb. Not only is it disrupting the traditional sales industry and forcing a rethink of strategy, but it is also changing and developing as it establishes itself. We look into how this industry is changing right now.
When it comes to advertising, pay per click (PPC) is about as simple as it gets—in theory. And while the bidding process behind this advertising channel is certainly a bit more complex, it is an emerging medium that you should be utilizing. Here are five tips we believe will aid you in managing your own PPC campaign.

Making a donation can sometimes feel like an obligation, even a chore, but I believe you should get pleasure from giving. If you care about the organization and know where your contribution is going, it can be one of the most fulfilling ways to spend your money.
• Be proactive. For many people, philanthropy is reactive—something they feel pressured into by friends or colleagues. If someone asks you to make a donation to a group you're not comfortable with, or you've committed your charitable dollars elsewhere, just politely explain that you've already given what you can for the year. (Keep in mind, however, that there is a quid pro quo with these things: If you want people to come to your benefit, you'll have to go to theirs.)
• Have a purpose. Seek out an organization whose mission you truly believe in. For instance, if you're concerned about the environment, would you like your money to go to education, conservation, or litigation against polluters? If your cause is a disease, do you want to support patient care or medical research? Charitynavigator.org is a good resource for finding reputable not-for-profits; guidestar.com can give you details on how groups spend their donations.
• Save up. Figure out an amount you can easily part with, then set it aside to give away when you're ready. And be sure to save the charity's acknowledgment letter for your tax records.
• All donations matter. No gift is too small. Many charities need to show that they have many supporters, not just a few generous ones. That said, you will make a bigger impact if you target your giving to one or two organizations.

April 17, 2013
DeKALB, Ill. - With rain and thunderstorms hammering the region on Wednesday, Northern Illinois and the Chicago Cubs will reschedule Head Coach Rod Carey's Wrigley Field appearance for later this season.
Carey had been scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th Inning Stretch on Wednesday. The Cubs game with the Texas Rangers was cancelled.
Carey is looking forward to the opportunity to go to Wrigley Field and even "practiced" Tuesday by throwing out the first pitch at the NIU-Bradley baseball game on campus. With the status of both the first pitch and the seventh inning in doubt for tonight due to the weather, the Cubs and NIU decided to schedule Carey's appearance for another home game.
NIU's first-year head coach will have his team back on the practice field this Friday and on Saturday, April 20, Northern Illinois will play the inaugural "Huskie Bowl," an intrasquad game between the Cardinal and Black teams led by assistant coaches Kevin Kane and Joe Tripodi, respectively. The Huskie Bowl will begin at 1 p.m. and is open to the public.
Season tickets for NIU's 2013 home schedule are on sale now. The new Huskieland Plan, which includes a ticket to all five home games (sections A and G) and $50 in Doggie Dollars good for parking and/or concessions, is just $50. All remaining season ticket locations for the 2013 Huskie Stadium home slate are just $100 while NIU Alumni Association members, senior citizens (62+), youth (3-13), NIU Varsity Club (former letterwinners) members and faculty and staff can see every game for just $88. For tickets, call 815-753-1923 or log on to www.NIUHuskies.com/tickets for more information.

Oh, what a glorious day to be a gamer and I don't mean that just because you can blissfully enjoy our Dead Island review. There's also been a ton of great news released, all in the same day. Where to begin? I should really spread out these news items more, but they all have equal value in my gamer heart.
Paradox Interactive, the makers of some of the best games this year, namely Magicka and Mount & Blade: With fire & Sword, are still hard at work for their community. In one week's time, they've released Sengoku, the counterpart to Sega's Shogun: Total War. But they've also added German Cities to their wide Cities In Motion builder. And just now, they've revealed the stand-alone Fallen Champions addition to the King Arthur franchise. It's busy times from the independent publisher with a heart of gold. We hope to give you more news from them shortly. But in the meantime, we have trailers for all these games, so check them out on Youtube!
More on youtube yo! Subscribe and watch and watch and sit and watch.
Now for the news with the most nerdgasm value. Anime fans, listen closely! Ni no Kuni (now Ninokuni apparently) is a breathtaking collaboration between Professor Layton's Level-5 and Spirited Away's Studio Ghibli. So far, the game was only marveled at by Asian eyes, but at a nearby Sony event during Tokyo Games Show, the developer announced to be bringing the joy overseas in 2012! If your pants have dried, you'll be glad to know there are plans for both DS and PS3 version to be localized. Even if it is only an American release so far, yours truly is overjoyed.
Ni No Kuni is so beautiful I want to cry. A manly cry.
Finally, let's talk about some more great digital PC promotions. You PC lot are truly spoiled with us, aren't you? Today's Daily Deal on Steam is the hack and slash adventure Darksiders, bringing war to your local bedroom and not in that sticky way. Oh, Paradox joins in on the fun for the Fallen Champions release, so you can grab the King Arthur series super cheap there! There is also a new shooter that catches the eye by the name of Xotic. I have no idea how you pronounce that, but it looks fun and colorful and it's that type of indie cheap, so it's all win!
I have no words on watching this while listening to Blink 182. It's just not right.
But lastly, you're excused from posting any comments in this article, because you're going to download the original Portal for free right now. You can still read that Valve is offering the title free for anyone until September 20, but now you must go and download it. I already did ages ago. Now I'll go download more coffee.
Daav Valentaten, NoobFeed. (@Daavpuke)
portal? free? DOWNLOAAADDING!!!
Ninokuni looks immensely interesting...something i would soo look into.
i now hate you for showing me that Darksiders teaser....like really hate you!
Thank goodness they're localizing it over here. I'm so excited for Ni no Kuni :)

Skeptic's Dictionary:
Excellent Web Site For Skeptics
Kevin Courcey
From: "Kevin Courcey"
To: [list]
Subject: excellent web site for skeptics
Date: Sunday, June 18, 2000 10:02 AM
I have stumbled across an excellent web reference site for skeptics of all flavors. It is called the Skeptic's Dictionary, and contains hundreds of definitions and articles on all sort of things: from "Becoming a Critical Thinker" to alchemy, alien abductions, alpha waves, the bible code, chelation therapy, dianetics, ear candling, mesmerism, the piltdown hoax, the Randi Psychic Challenge, and Santa Claus.
Take this example, from a section on Glossolalia, or speaking in tongues. After giving a definition, and statement on the subject by a linguist, it continues:
When spoken by schizophrenics, glossolalia are recognized as gibberish. In charismatic Christian communities glossolalia is sacred and referred to as "speaking in tongues" or having "the gift of tongues." In Acts of the Apostles, tongues of fire are described as alighting on the Apostles, filling them with the Holy Spirit. Allegedly, this allowed the Apostles to speak in their own language but be understood by foreigners from several nations. Glossolalics, on the other hand, speak in a foreign language and are understood by nobody.
Ya gotta love it! Enjoy.

I have Ubuntu 11.04, and I would like to set my sound setting so that when I use my external microphone I can hear myself speak into the microphone as if it's a karaoke. I went to the sound setting, but it doesn't have the option to "listen to this device" as I can find in Windows. Is this an option in Ubuntu?
By choosing "Sound Settings..." from the drop down menu of the speaker icon in your top panel choose Hardware and select something like "Analog Stereo Duplex" from the Profile selection.
In case your microphone is recognized correctly you should be able to hear it through your local speakers.

HP Photosmart 7510 Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: Looking for a bargain inkjet? This low-cost all-in-one model has outstanding print quality, a built-in document feeder, and Wi-Fi. It's a good fit for light-duty, non-networked use. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Excellent print quality
- 4.3-inch touch-screen LCD with Web connectivity
- Built-in duplex printing
- Superior ink longevity for photos
- What We Didn't…
- Higher-than-average per-page print costs
- No Ethernet port
- Paper-output tray handles only 50 sheets at a time
HP Photosmart 7510 Review
By March 22, 2012, reviewed
Table of Contents
If you're shopping for an inexpensive all-in-one inkjet, you know you're going to have to give up something substantial in features, quality, or performance. (Otherwise, how could today's printer manufacturers sell their higher-priced models?) That may seem logical, but a printer isn't just an end product. Manufacturers make a large portion of their profits from the ink cartridges and other add-ons that you buy over the life of the printer. That potential additional revenue is incentive enough to offer feature-rich, low-cost models, even if they bump up against the same maker's higher-priced models.
A good example is the HP Photosmart 7510. It has a street price of just $149.99, yet it has a nice list of once-premium features: a high-resolution color touch screen, Wi-Fi, duplex printing, and a memory-card slot. Best of all, HP didn't slow down or compromise on the print quality with this model. The print speeds are competitive among recent inkjet models, and the print quality was excellent across the board—whether the output was pure text or glossy photos.
So what's not to like about the Photosmart 7510? A few things, but they're not huge. There's no Ethernet port for direct network connections. (You'll need to use USB or Wi-Fi.) It's also missing a dedicated USB port for bringing in photos via a flash drive. (For that, you'll need to use the memory-card slot instead.) The touch screen can be a little finicky. And the print costs are on the high side, unless you purchase HP's large-capacity ink cartridges.
These would be significant drawbacks with a higher-priced printer. At this price, though, they're more annoyances than fatal flaws. All in all, the Photosmart 7510 is a surprisingly well-equipped printer selling at a very attractive price.

Label checking cleansers and cosmetics for the "oil-free" seal of approval has become second nature in our beauty and skin care selections. As a result, it may come as a surprise to you that in recent years, oil-based cleansers and moisturizers have gained popularity in the United States. What will your dermatologist say? Beauty experts around the world have long touted the benefits of oil-based skin care, and there are numerous, price-conscious options for incorporating it into your routine.
In 1967, famed Hollywood makeup artist Shu Uemura introduced the first oil-based cleanser in Japan. His cleanser gently removed makeup and dirt without stripping skin of its natural moisture. Today you can purchase a variety of specialty cleansing oils from the Shu Uemura site. The line also includes cosmetics and a full-line of skin care products. Other brands offering cleansing oils include Philosophy, Murad, Dior, La Mer, and Bobbi Brown, to name a few. You can find these products at Ulta or Neiman Marcus.
Argan oil has also grown in popularity given its all-purpose qualities. Argan oil is made from kernels from the Moroccan argan tree and has long been recognized as a versatile beauty elixir. This rich oil can be applied to skin, hair and nails to hydrate and condition. Josie Maran's skin care line offers 100% pure argon oil and argan oil light for those prone to acne as well as oil cleansers. To use, josiemaran.com recommends applying the cleansing oil to dry skin, and adding water to emulsify.
To be fair, a little oil goes a long way. If you have naturally oily skin or are prone to breakouts, you may not want to oil cleanse daily and instead start by using it once or twice per week. For those with oily hair, concentrate the oil on the ends, and again, remember, you'll only need a few drops. Argan oil can also be used as an overnight hair mask, leaving hair silky and shiny. However, it needs to be rinsed out before styling.
Overall, oil cleansing and moisturizing offers an alternative to potentially harsh or drying skin care treatments. Many of these oils are multi-purpose and can serve as an all-in-one product in your beauty routine. Glowing skin and shiny hair are just a few drops away.

Phony, the Optic, and Brycgwyrcende* join the battle for 2013 Top Word of the Year
Top Trending Words of 2013, Mid-year Edition
AUSTIN, Texas, August 8, 2013 – The words 'phony', 'the Optic', and 'Brycgwyrcende'* have joined the battle for 2013 Top Word of the Year, according to the Global Language Monitor, the world leader in big data language analytics.
The Mid-year outlook for the Top Trending Words of 2013 already include words related to: Kate's Royal Offspring, Near-Earth Objects including Comets, asteroids and/or meteors, Nukes (rogue or otherwise), a fascinating Internet meme (or two), China continuing in it role as the world's economic engine, an unknown technical buzzword that will seemingly spring out of nowhere (ala #hashtag), and various catastrophic scenarios with names containing the prefix franken- or the suffix – pocalypse
These words have been compiled from word trends in global English currently tracked by the Global Language Monitor. In December 2012, Austin, Texas-based GLM announced that ' Apocalypse' was the Top Word, 'Gangnam Style' the Top Phrase; and 'Newtown' and 'Malala (Yousafzai) the Top Names of 2012 in its annual global analysis of the English language.
"With 1.83 billion speakers and a new word created every 98 minutes or so, clever, interesting, and creative neologisms inevitably appear — and now from any point on the planet," said Paul JJ Payack, President and Chief Word Analyst of GLM.
To see the Top Words of 2012, go here.
The words are culled from throughout the English-speaking world, which now numbers more than 1.83 billion speakers (January 2013 estimate).
