NLS boys basketball coach Matt Cordes gets helping hand from parents, siblings
In times that scatter grown children coast-to-coast, basketball keeps the Cordes family under one roof -- at least from tip-off to the final buzzer.
Matt Cordes can always count on both technical and emotional support from his family every game.
He's the fifth-year head coach of the New London-Spicer Wildcats (30-1), a team headed for the boys Class AA state tournament starting Wednesday.
At game time, Patsy Cordes, his mother, is seated only a few feet away. She keeps the scorebook for NLS. Chris, Matt's older brother by three years, is just a few rows away recording statistics, like shooting and rebounding. Stephanie Cordes, who is the middle child, also keeps game states, season stats and drives the bus, either a school bus or a coach.
The gymnasium togetherness is nothing new for the Cordes family.
"We lived in the gym (growing up) in Springfield," said Matt.
Springfield High School hired Dick Cordes in 1970 to teach social studies, coach three sports and, oh, yes, pitch for the town's amateur baseball team against rival New Ulm, where both Dick and Patsy grew up.
Patsy started keeping scorebook for basketball right from the start.
Chris graduated in 1985 and then spent three years in the Navy. Stephanie, who graduated the next year, was a cheerleader. Matt attended Springfield through his junior year (about the time Dick and Patsy divorced) before graduating from NLS in 1988.
Dick is a recently retired Minnewaska activities director/community education director. He still works part-time with community education, Patsy said.
"Dick's done some scouting for Matt and helped out with coaching duties in the pre-season," added Patsy. "He likes to get to all the games he can; one time this winter he brought his 91-year-old mother to see the Wildcats play."
Matt said there's little time for small talk with his mom. "Maybe, I'll look over and she might give me a look or a smile," he said. "But usually, I'm pretty focused on the game."
Patsy said the chair at the scorer's table fits her just right.
"My kids like me there," she said. "I'm known as a yeller and, of course, you can't do that at the table."
At Springfield, she found it better to keep book than sit up in the stands and hear the comments of the fans. Not that it would be a problem at New London-Spicer.
"NLS fans are great," she said.
They should be in a good mood. This is the Wildcats second trip to state in three years.
Patsy kept scorebook and also did some P.A. work for 10 seasons at Willmar Community College (now Ridgewater), where both Matt and Chris played for Mike Johnson in the late 1980s.
She supervised the early childhood care program at the college. She also coached cheerleading at Willmar High School and kept book for girls basketball and occasionally announced.
From 1998-2003 Patsy ran the Sunbeam Orphanage at Spanish Towne, Jamaica. The next three years she worked Waukesha Tech College near Milwaukee. That met a 444 mile drive one way to see her son's team play. She's closer now, managing a women's clothing store in the Kandi Mall.
When she's not cheering (silently) for NLS she roots for the Cardinals, except when the teams meet at the Wild-Card Tournament.
"Casey (Sussenguth, Willmar's starting post) is my godson," she said. A grandson, Zach, Chris's son, is on Willmar's sophomore team.
Matt and his wife Raia have three children. The oldest, Maddy, is an eighth grader playing freshman basketball for the 'Cats.
Matt has been youth minister at Peace Lutheran for 10 years. He took a youth group to Jamaica one summer and they built a cement basketball court at the Sunbeam orphanage.
Matt realizes family involvement is a bonus not all coaches get to enjoy.
"It's great to have the whole family involved," he said. "Win or lose, you can always count on them to be there for you."

Fliers distributed in Raleigh and other North Carolina cities last weekend urging residents to join the Ku Klux Klan are part of an apparent nationwide recruiting drive for the white supremacist organization with one minor twist: the phone number and websites listed trace back to a Klan chapter whose leader is a reported FBI informant.
I'm sure the KKK will find plenty of recruits in SFPD https://t.co/L446Kl8H94; https://t.co/XSFf67mSlY; https://t.co/70Ov4Syeqx
— Adam Hudson (@adamhudson5) July 15, 2016
As reported by the Independent Weekly along with other local and national outlets, the fliers begged readers to "PLEASE JOIN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE" and offered up a 24/7 national hotline, 336-432-0386 and two websites, kkkknights.com & loyalwhiteknights.com.
Per online phone directory whitepages.com, the 336 number has been linked to the Eden, North Carolina-based "klavern" known as the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan since 2014. One user on the site claimed the number had been attached to a Craigslist ad for a free television set.
The woman to whom the websites are registered, Amanda Barker (she has a YouTube Channel and is identified as the group's "Imperial Kommander") emailed the Daily Beast last week to confirm their group was behind the distribution of copies of the same flyer in San Francisco earlier this month.
Amanda Barker's husband, Chris Barker, was identified as the "Imperial Wizard" of the Loyal White Knights in a June 2016 article from the Associated Press about the Klan's dreams of "rising again."
Barker was portrayed in a somewhat different light in a series of articles published just a year earlier, where he was described by freelance journalist Matt Theyer, Reuters and the Albany Times Union as an FBI informant in a case against a man who wanted to build "a mobile death ray." Baker's connection to the mobile death ray case has so far gone unreported in other media reports on the fliers.
That man, Glendon Scott Crawford, who said friends described him as "a cross between Darth Vader and Forrest Gump" planned to use the death ray against Muslims, but never against Sikhs or American troops. He told Barker that if used properly, the death ray "could kill the entire United Nations."
According to the Times Union:
Crawford initially reached the imperial wizard in July after calling a Klan hotline number and sending the Klan an email explaining he was interested in "restoring our nation to greatness."
Barker, who was facing felony charges, went to the FBI in Charlotte to inform it of Crawford's call.
Although none of the articles from the time specifically mention which national hotline it is that Crawford called into, there's little doubt it's the 336 number splashed across all those recently distributed fliers.
The Enemy of My Enemy…
A once powerful organization which in the 1920s boasted more than 4 million members — about 3 percent of the U.S. population at the time — The Ku Klux Klan has been greatly reduced in both size and stature, and is estimated to have between 3,000-6,000 members nationwide, about .001 percent of the population.
In spite of its relatively small numbers, the Klan remains an eternal specter on the landscape of American life.
It's no surprise, then, that the organization is a regular target of law enforcement, the media and groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, both of which keep close tabs on the Klan's various klaverns.
Freelance journalist Nate Theyer has written several articles about Barker specifically — ranging from his purported endorsement of Presumptive Democratic Party Nominee Hillary Clinton to his history as an informant and his apparent pariah status among fellow Klan members.
According to Theyer, here's what some of those fellow members had to say about Barker.
"Barker is a piece of crap. He is a fake and a liar," said JB Elmore, the Imperial Wizard of the United Knights of Tennessee of the KKK in another interview. "Chris Barker is not a Klansman. I don't talk to the media. I wouldn't be talking to you, but you asked me about Barker and I will talk all night about him. He is a drunk and a federal agent."
"Chris Barker is a drunk, a thief, a liar, and hate filled cowardly lunatic who enlists people to do what he himself doesn't have the guts to do with his inflammatory public rallies which he doesn't attend but sits in the comfort of his own home while putting his members in danger," added the Imperial Wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the KKK, Frank Ancona.
When Barker's Loyal White Knights pulled a similar flyer distribution stunt in 2014, SPLC senior fellow Mark Potok published a lengthy piece examining the "sorry state" of the Klan. He described the "internecine rivalries that typify today's Klan scene" which likely played a part in what he described as a decline in total klaverns nationwide since 2010.
Although Potok didn't make the connection the case had with the Loyal White Knights, he did at the end of his report touch upon the impending trial of Crawford, and his plans for a death ray as examples of the problems posed by the Klan today.
Among those in agreement with Potok's general assessment of the Crawford trial were members of a forum on the white supremacist website Stormfront.org, who describe themselves as "a community of racial realists and idealists."
The SPLC lists Stormfront as an "Extremist Group;" not surprisingly, there are countless threads on Stormfront criticizing the SPLC in general and even Potok in particular, yet on one subject they appear to be largely in agreement: the Klan today is in a sorry state.
On that same thread, another forum member linked some of Theyer's articles and pointed out that Barker himself was an apparent member of the Stormfront community.
A September 2015 post from "barker1866," whose first post was in March of 2010, and included a link to the kkkknights.com site and listed the 336 national hotline phone number, disputed the allegations made by Theyer and other news outlets.
It should be worth noting that not all forum members were so quick to judge Barker, as "Walter Fairchild II"offered up this more generous interpretation of the events surrounding the case in response to a separate post from Barker:
The exact circumstances of the Crawford case notwithstanding, the recent flier distribution efforts do speak to an indisputable inclination of Barker's to draw a spotlight to his cause.
As reported by Theyer and elsewhere, Barker was behind a protest in July of 2015 against the removal of the Confederate Flag from the South Carolina State Capitol and has made himself available to major media outlets such as Time and The Associated Press in order to spread his views; not to mention his attempted endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
Regardless of whether Barker is an FBI informant, an agent provocateur or just your average, run-of-the-mill Imperial Wizard; if you've got plans for a high-tech death ray, he's probably not the guy to share them with.
One final twist: While Barker is widely identified as the "Imperial Wizard" for the LWK, which amounts to serving as the klavern's national leader, the Daily Beast article mentioned earlier featured an interview with Will Quigg, who is described as a "Grand Wizard," or a state-level leader for LWK.
Here's the twist: during a demonstration in Anaheim, California in February 2016, Quigg was saved from a violent crowd of counter-protestors by Brian Levin, a Jewish man and a former employee of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The OC Weekly reported at the time that after their escape from the mob, Levin asked Quigg how it felt to be "saved by a Jewish guy." Quigg thanked Levin, but went on to praise Hitler as a "civil rights hero" and argue that the Holocaust had never happened.

I squished the elephants, mom.
Do you have funny saying in your house that only the people in your house would get? Kind of like private jokes?
When Bub was a little guy he HATED having his ears cleaned out with Q tips. Unfortunately for him, his ears seem to produce a ton of wax. It just wasn't an option not to clean them out and using a cloth wasn't enough.
To get him to hold still I made up a game of "elephants being in your ears" and they were bad ones that needed to be squished. No idea why it was elephants, I totally made this up on the fly. I would get the wax with the Q tip, show it to him and it was supposedly a squished elephant. He thought it was hilarious! So now, even though he knows it is wax he still says "Mom, look at the elephants, gross!" haha.
Do you have little insider things like this?

A lasting impact on travel
The Sept. 11 attacks may have been a continent away, but the effects on the North Coast's travel-related businesses were immediate.
"It definitely affected our business," said Fran Tanner, manager of University Travel in Arcata [on the right in photo at left, with Barbara Branco]. "From Sept. 11 to the end of the year practically everything we had on the books was refunded."
The steep drop in flights nearly bankrupted major carriers including United Airlines, which services the North Coast. As a result, smaller carriers had to pick up the slack, leading to bittersweet boom times for outfits like Horizon Air.
"We were one of the few companies that didn't furlough anybody," said one Horizon flight crew member. He said his first day on the job was Sept. 10 last year. When he woke up and watched the news he thought he was out of a job, but if anything the company is better off now than it was before. "We're getting short-to mid-range flights that used to go to United," he said. "Regionals are the answer to the majors' problems."
"It makes us happy as clams," another crew member added. " But we don't like that we're prospering on someone else's loss."
Not just travel agents and pilots were affected by the terrorist attacks. Retail outlets that cater to travelers also got hit hard.
"Selling flags and globes and world maps kept us going [last] September," said Janyce Neiman, owner of Going Places, a Eureka travel shop. "People wanted to know where Afghanistan was."
She said that over the year business has picked up again, though it still seems that fewer Americans are travelling.
"When I was in Italy this March there were definitely less Americans," Neiman said. "Most Americans I met were visiting family or had some other reason to be there -- not really interested in experiencing Italy."
Neiman, who has operated her shop for 16 years, said her experience in dealing with the Gulf War during the last Bush administration -- an event that also hurt business -- helped her get through the tough times.
Overall nobody seems to have closed up shop despite the drop, and Tanner, for one, never considered it.
"I didn't even think about
giving up completely," Tanner said. "You just pull
up your bootstraps and carry on."

9 Reasons the LED Alternative to Fluorescent Tube Lighting WinsPosted by admin on Oct 15, 2016 in LED Tube Lights | 3 comments
In most offices, hallways, and other lower level and flat ceiling environments you will find some sort of tube lighting in place. The most common technology that is found to be used is currently fluorescent, but after this post that might slowly change for some because this alternatives to fluorescent office lighting and all of those other uses listed above is going to change your mind on which technology is the truly efficient one.
The following 9 reasons show loud and clear why the LED alternative to fluorescent tube lighting is the clear winner when it comes to lifespan, safety, and more. Let's start off with the first reasons shall we?
1. Fluorescent tubes contain mercury, LED doesn't
Although it is completely harmless while in the tube itself, accidents always happen. When a fluorescent tube is broken, a small amount of mercury can be released into the surrounding area. The bigger issue comes when people think about avoiding and cleaning up the mercury over the glass, but in reality the glass poses the biggest threat. It's recommended to air out the area as soon as possible, along with cleaning up the glass without anything that will make it airborne (like a vacuum). With a LED fluorescent tube alternative, you will skip this issue entirely because LED technology does not require any sort of mercury to work!
2. LED is optimal for cold or hot and room temperatures
While LED technology is pretty much good to go in a greater range of temperatures, fluorescent lamps only works at it's peak performance when it is in room temperature type environments. So LED technology is much more flexible in which temperatures it can operate properly at, fluorescents are only suitable for inside only applications. But even then, LED still wins for all of these other reasons listed on this post! And a thing to remember is that fluorescent technology isn't better than LED is indoors, it's just that it only works optimally at room temperatures. But when you replace fluorescent light with LED, you still get all the benefits that LED brings and they aren't picky about the temperature at all.
3. LED technology is easily dimmable
Keyword there is easily. Some fluorescent lights are dimmable, but not all are. And when they are, they typically aren't as efficient nor as cheap as dimming a tube LED lamp would be. So if you are in need of dimming capabilities (for whatever reason) and want to do so efficiently, LED technology is probably the easier and more hassle-free option to choose for dimming capabilities. This allows you to get a LED fluorescent tube replacement installation done and enjoy the benefits of dimming your lights as much as you need, when needed.

4. LED tubes are directional lights (unlike fluorescent)
When you hear the words non-directional, what exactly does that mean to you? Well, in the world of lighting it basically means that such fixture emits lights 360 degrees (or in all directions). This causes 30-40% of all the light being emitted by a fluorescent tube to be wasted due to the trait it carries of non-directional emission of light. With LED, it has directional lighting which allows you to direct the light where it needs to go and isn't going to waste being emitted 360 degrees.
5. LED replacements are 30% more efficient
Let alone all of the other benefits that a LED replacement for fluorescent tubes will bring that are listed here, what about the direct savings that you will realize just by switching over to LED from fluorescent? Depending on the fluorescent products you had installed before and which LED products you are replacing them with will depend on the amount of energy you save. But on average, you will realize a staggering 30% reduction in energy usage associated with your tubes. This allows you to even see a return on investment when you start looking at what an LED tube vs a fluorescent tube will save you in the long run.
6. LED emit less heat
In regards to property owners and facility managers, they tend to be in favor of the technology that doesn't emit immense amounts of heat. With fluorescent which do emit considerably more heat that LEDs, you are now opening yourself up to a new issue to resolve. In the hotter months when air conditioning is running in the building, having tubes that emit heat will just add to the cost of cooling down a building. This can get especially pricey when your building is larger and requires much more energy to cool it down throughout the day.
7. LED alternatives last much longer
While you can do things to keep a fluorescent tube alive longer (look at #8), LEDs still win. With an average lifespan of 15,000 hours, fluorescents die out 3-4 times faster than an LED tube does. With LEDs average lifespan of 50,000 hours, this means that you will need to replace a fluorescent tube 3-4 times more than an LED equivalent. Do you know the costs associated with switching out a burnt out tube? It can add up especially in larger buildings, and thus this is yet another way a switch to LED from fluorescent tubing can bring your building great cost reductions related to your lighting maintenance costs. On top of that, you will need to buy 3-4 times more fluorescent tubes which will, in the long run, cost more than one LED would of cost. So if you do replace fluorescent with LED tubes, you will be able to realize yet another benefit of LED technology; longer lifespan by 3-4 times!
8. Frequent switching of fluorescent lights causes early failure
As mentioned in #7, a way to extend the life of a fluorescent luminaire is by not switching them off frequently. They are best to be turned on once for the day, and then one time off for the day. If you demand a technology that allows for frequent switching of on and off throughout the day and don't want to reduce the lifespan of the light source, the fluorescent tube alternative (or LED) will be the best option. They do not reduce in lifespan no matter how many times they are turned on or off.
9. Buzzing and flickering… no longer with LED
Last but definitely not least, LEDs will never buzz or flicker, not even near the end of their lifespan! This buzzing and flickering that fluorescent lamps are susceptible to can reduce productivity and increase stress; all of which are no good for the workplace environment. This can prove to be devastating to your businesses work output, which can even indirectly effect your bottom line. Time = money, and by being stressed and distracted by flickering or buzzing ceiling lights, you will be losing money and not even know why. Now you know, if you have flickering or buzzing lights get rid of them as soon as possible!
Final Words
What is the moral of the story with all of these reasons? Simple! It's to be aware of the powerful fluorescent light alternative, which is LED, and all of the benefits that it brings to any building of any size.

text: Solar Services Are you looking for the best possible pricing, terms, and conditions for your solar project? SPURR is here to help. Why use the REAP Program? The pre-negotiated solar project pricing and terms secured through the REAP Program's master Request for Proposal (RFP) process are not only, by far, the best available in the marketplace but can be used by participants without having to conduct their own lengthy and costly RFP. This is particularly important given the imminent changes to California's net energy metering (NEM) rules and impending reduction of federal investment tax credit (ITC) at the end of 2016. Five Key Benefits to the REAP Program REAP Program participants will benefit in the following ways: Access to the best solar project pricing available in the marketplace. A streamlined solar competitive bidding process. Minimized administrative strain associated with solar project procurement. Competitively procured project costs as well as standardized terms and conditions of service. Firm pricing for solar installations so that projected returns on investment can be more accurately computed. How the REAP Program Works Pricing and terms secured by SPURR through the REAP Program are available to any public education entity adopting the REAP Program RFP as its own competitive process or otherwise references the REAP Program as the basis for their selection of SunEdison to complete a solar project. Districts interested in the REAP Program may authorize SunEdison, at no cost or obligation, to perform a solar project feasibility study or to provide a project term sheet or contract. Districts can also perform their own independent feasibility study with "executable pricing" in hand.

Pete Wentz teams up with Russell Brand for a brand new commercial tape to promote this year's MTV Video Music Awards.
Fall Out Boy's basist Pete Wentz has just been shot with British comedian Russell Brand. The 40-seconds video will be promoting 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, which will be aired from Hollywood Paramount Studio on September 7.
Beside Pete, other stars, who are taped for the MTV awards promos, are Britney Spears and LL Cool J. While Britney appears on two promo ads with an elephant as a featured guest to remind people for her last year's disastrous performance in the show, LL Cool J simply sits next to the comedian for a conversation in another video.
Artists who are confirmed to perform at the MTV annual show are multi-platinum songstress Rihanna, Pink, rapper T.I., and Tennessean band Paramore. Meanwhile, some star names, who have just been announced to appear on the event's stage as additional presenters, include Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus.
Elsewhere, Russell, who will be hosting the awards show, is reportedly busy with his work on a new role for his upcoming big screen "Get Him to the Greek". In the forthcoming comedy, Russell has been cast to reprise his "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" role as Aldous Snow, a rock star who is struggling to stay sober. Speaking of his new role, he says, "The opportunity to revisit it (drugs) without the consequences is exciting. I might even find a way of justifying using actual drugs. It's like, Well, this is acting. Come on'."

Home Learning Books
Each week the children will be given a topic to focus on in their Home Learning Book. The topic will be based on what the children have been learning about in our Thursday morning assembly. This means that all children from Year One to Year Six will have the same topic each week. This will come home each Thursday and must be returned the following Tuesday. The children will be given the opportunity to see each other's work.
As a school we are keen to encourage the children to be as creative as possible so it is up to each child to decide how they want to present their research and knowledge of each topic. The only constraint is that the children must use that week's two page spread in their Home Learning Books. We hope that you will work with your child each week discussing and researching but please do not do the work for them.
Examples of ways to present what you know/find out:
Pop up section. Flap section. Pocket section. Labelled drawing or diagram. Fact File.
Word search using topic related words. Quiz with answers hidden under a flap. Photographs.
Weekly Home Learning Book Topics:
Thursday 23rd February: Perseverance and Resilience
Thursday 2nd March: Books
Thursday 9th March: The Moon

when I was at 9th class I love a girl who is my good friend but I had not tell her about it.But now I am in a good relationship with my collage friend who loves me so much...but the problem here is-my first love.
Now she loves me and asked me to choose one of them.I can't see anyone in pain. so what can I do now.
love my 1st love or collage love who can't live without me...
Most Helpful Guy
1 thing that I have learned with experiance is that you do have to be more selfish in life. At the end of the day when it comes to relationships things could change from nowhere. Choosing is harsh BUT it's YOUR life. Your chance to have the girl you truly love has come! If you turn this opportunity down for the sake of another could you live with yourself thinking 'what if'? Also if things don't work out between you both and the girl you love moves on... u'll be devastated mate, TRUST ME! I think 'what if' nearly everyday, I want it to end, it's torture. When I get with another girl the thoughts pass for a while but when it ends or things get bad I'm left once again thinking would could my life have been like with that girl... 'what if'...00|00|0

Passenger Jet Hits An Unidentified Flying Object Over China
A passenger jet in China was forced to make an emergency landing after a mysterious mid-air collision with a "foreign object" at 26,000 ...
A passenger jet in China was forced to make an emergency landing after a mysterious mid-air collision with a "foreign object" at 26,000 feet severely dented its nose cone, media reports revealed.
The front of the Air China Boeing 757 was pushed in and scratches and scraped paintwork were clearly visible when it landed. However, no one was injured in the mysterious accident. The plane was flying from Chengdu to Guangzhou and was at 26,000 feet when a lough thud was heard from the front of the aircraft.
The pilot said after the collision it became difficult for him to control the aircraft and he immediately called air traffic controllers, according to reports. He was then given permission to return to the airport.
Experts said investigations into the collision have raised suspicions that the aircraft was hit by a "foreign object". They do not believe it was caused by a bird strike as no blood or feathers were seen on the dented nose cone. The damage was only noticed only when the plane safely landed.
Meanwhile, the mystery behind the "foreign object" has led online speculation that the plane might have collided with a UFO or a drone. Other theories posted on the Aviation Herald include pressure from rapidly heated and expanded air.
Former government UFO investigator Nick Pope told The Sun an examination of the nose cone should reveal what hit it. He said traces of whatever collided with the aircraft should be visible.
However, he questioned whether the "secretive" Chinese would reveal the cause. Pope told The Sun,"Cases like this show whatever people believe about UFOs, there are serious air safety issues here. MoD and CAA files contain dozens of reports of near misses between UFOs and commercial aircraft. It's only a matter of time before there's a catastrophe."
Last week, it emerged that three passenger jet pilots saw UFOs above Britain's Scientology headquarters on their approach to Gatwick Airport. A report revealed that they each saw "two flat, silver discs", with some flying within 100ft.

Hmmm, Where Do I Start, Veronica Is More Than 5 Star, Very Friendly and Reliable Immigration Attorney Also Very Respectful. About Fees .....Trust Me , I spoke With Three immigration Attorney Before Veronica ....Fees Are Very Fair and Affordable. She Do Great Job At Answering ,Always Prompt With Responses. My Immigration Case Was Very Complex And Complicated & Challenging. After 16 Years .....Since I Came To USA.... Finally I Got My Green Card !!! As Mentioned In Other Reviews, She Is Best..I Would Highly Recommend . Pls, Don't Hasitate To Consult Her, She Is Angel......Nothing Wrong With Consult Her ,You Will Like Her After.
Posted by Alex + 1
We just completed the green card application process with Veronica and came to a successful outcome! We couldn't have been happier to have worked with her. Veronica will be the first person we call if we ever have immigration issues or if we need to refer a friend to an immigration lawyer.
Looking back, if we had to make a choice again on which lawyer to work with, we would consider 5 key criteria. Veronica was awesome on all 5 of them. We'll go through each in detail below.
1. ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND A CLIENT'S SITUATION. When we spoke with Veronica for the first time, she listened patiently to us. She didn't assume anything, and instead made sure she had a good grasp of our situation, including the nuances.
2. KNOWLEDGE OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM. Veronica clearly knows the ins and outs of the U.S. immigration system. She helped us understand what to expect based on her past experience seeing clients through the system, and drew from her network of colleagues in immigration law. For example, we were able to adjust our life plans based on her estimates of the duration of each stage in the process.
3. ABILITY TO OFFER SOLID GUIDANCE. Knowledge of the law and the ability to provide customized advice are two separate skills. Veronica had both, as she was able to clearly lay out the options we had, along with the pros and cons of each. When our situation changed, she helped us formulate a revised approach to achieve our objectives. Our application was strong, no doubt because Veronica had the ability to take the perspective of a U.S. immigration officer reviewing our case.
4. SKILL IN TAKING A CLIENT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO COMPLETION. We had no idea that there would be so much paperwork involved. Veronica was instrumental in making sure we submitted the correct forms and included every piece of information required. She showed true ownership of the process and followed up with us if we took longer than expected to get information to her. She also kept meticulous records and knew the case status at any given time. The best moment was when Veronica called us with the good news that we had received our green card approval - a week earlier than we would have otherwise found out through the mail.
5. BEING THERE FOR YOU. Over the course of the process, Veronica went from being a lawyer to becoming our friend. She helped calm our nerves as we sat waiting for our immigration interview, made sure everything went well during the interview, and shared in our happiness afterwards. More generally, whenever we had questions or needed a quick chat, Veronica always made time for us.
Suffice it to say, Veronica was awesome. We are so glad to have had her support. Thank you so much for everything, Veronica!!

What more can I say about Mrs. Veronica, is that she's GREAT LAWYER! First time doing all these documents / paperwork. Mrs. Veronica was able to worked with my busy schedule and help me out thru the whole process nice and easy. She explains everything upfront, what's the proper steps and all, pretty much keeps you in the loops about everything. After getting all my stuff in-line properly, it has open so many doors for me, I am really thankful for everything she has done for me. I highly recommend Mrs. Veronica to anybody:)
Posted by Jhonaline
Meeting with Veronica gave me hope in my case. The consultation experience provided so much information that I've missed. She explained my options thoroughly and explained step by step what I needed to do to fix my case. She provides a comfortable environment and is very personable with her clients.
Posted by Husain & Anne
We consulted with Mrs. Guinto a few times on employment-related visa issues. Eventually we requested her full-time services for a family-based application. She was extremely thorough about getting us the information we needed in both cases and was very flexible when working with our schedules. She was nothing but patient as she explained the process to us in detail and we always walked away feeling confident that we were in safe hands. Having worked with several lawyers and law firms in the past as an individual and through corporate channels, she is the only one thus far who has been open, clear and understanding of the situation and complications caused by immigration law. The sense of humor and friendly demeanor she brought to every meeting always made us feel at ease.
Our paperwork was taken care of within a pretty tight timeline and, for once, we had no trouble with the immigration process. We already have and will continue to highly recommend her, as her commitment to her clients and her ability to help them navigate the process is exactly what we needed to feel comforted during what is usually a difficult and stressful process.
Posted by Karina
Since the moment I talked to Mrs. Guinto on the phone she sounded so nice and friendly I knew she was gonna be my lawyer. She was so honest, straight forward and very professional. She understood the delicacy of my immigration case which had a deadline, and ensured me she would do her best to help me. That's exactly what she did, working around my busy work schedule and communicating through phone and e-mails, always keeping me updated and informed of deadlines and appointments. Besides the amazing legal work she provides, she helped me with my healing process, motivating me to seek some therapy so I could move forward with my life. Meeting with Mrs.Guinto has been such a pleasure, I am now done with my application for my residency and waiting for an answer. I am so happy that I found Mrs. Guinto , there really isn't be a better lawyer I could've asked for. The price she charged for her service is so reasonable and she even let me make payments through out our time we had before the application was due. She helped me better my life and motivated to follow my dreams. Mrs. Veronica B. GUinto is a strong, intelligent, beautiful, family oriented woman that will be on your side and will provide the best legal help possible. I highly recommend this lawyer be honest and straight forward and so she can help you.
She has gone above and beyond to help me, and if you call her I'm sure she'll do the same for you.

Ah, yes, it is a messy area, isn't it? ;-) For insensitive result sets I think we should be able to explain it pretty simply though; own changes are visible and can be detected; other changes are not visible and can not be detected.

If you were injured on the job in Tennessee, you should be able to file a workers' compensation claim if you became injured on the job as a direct result of a work-related accident or develop an occupational disease due to an exposure at the workplace. This can include exposure to toxins, as well as conditions that are the result of repetitive stresses and chronic injuries that develop over time due to environmental conditions in the workplace. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development manages Tennessee workers' compensation claims.
Generally, employers with five or more employees in Tennessee are required to have workers' compensation insurance. All construction companies, regardless of the number of employees, must have workers' compensation insurance.
All benefits related to your work-related injury or occupational disease come through the workers' compensation system. Your employer usually has a release of all liability for the injury, meaning you cannot sue the employer for the injury. There are rare exceptions to this general principle; talk to an attorney if you believe a traditional lawsuit against your employer is appropriate for your situation.
Under Tennessee workers' comp law, any industrial (work-related) injury or occupational disease that necessitates medical care, or results in the employee's death or absence from work, is considered a valid workers' compensation injury or illness. However, the injury or illness must have arisen in the course and scope of employment.uts and scrapes needing only first aid are insufficient for a workers' compensation claim.
If your injury or illness meets the requirements for a workers' compensation claim, you should report your claim immediately.
Tennessee workers' compensation law does not cover all workers working in Tennessee. Separate federal workers' compensation laws cover federal employees. And like most states, Tennessee excludes independent contractors, domestic workers, and some agricultural workers from coverage under state workers' compensation law. (Sole proprietors and business owners can elect to opt-out of coverage if they meet certain criteria.)
You should report your injury or occupational disease to your employer as soon as possible, and no later than thirty days from the injury, or when your doctor first tells you your injury or illness is work related. Your employer will complete the Tennessee Employer's First Report of Work Injury or Illness form, Form C-20, to acknowledge your report of a possible workers' compensation claim. The employer must complete this form within one day of your report of the injury or illness. Your employer should complete the reporting forms even if your employer disputes that the claim is related to your work.Your employer will also file your claim with OSHA using OSHA Form 301.
You do not need to give notice to your employer of the injury or illness in writing. However, it's best to do so anyway, to avoid any question of when you reported the injury or illness.
The employer will notify its workers' compensation insurance carrier of your workers' compensation claim. The insurance carrier may approve or deny your claim.
Within fifteen days of receiving notice of your claim, the workers' compensation insurance carrier for your employer must accept or deny your claim. The insurance carrier will notify you and your employer of the decision sometime within the fifteen-day window.
Under Tennessee workers' compensation claim laws, your employer's insurance carrier can deny your claim for several reasons. For example, if there is a lack of information on the proper forms, or your employer says the injury was not work related, your claim can be denied. If there is a dispute over your claim, the insurance company may hold your claim pending further investigation. The notification the insurance company sends you must include documentation showing the reasons for the denial.
If your workers' compensation claim is accepted, you should begin to receive the workers' compensation benefits you are eligible for depending on your particular situation.
Your employer, or its workers' compensation insurance carrier, is responsible for paying all claim-related medical care. This includes doctor visits, hospitalization, prescriptions, physical therapy, and even mileage reimbursement if it's necessary to travel more than fifteen miles for a medical appointment. Your employer may require that you choose a physician from a list of three physicians provided to you by your employer.
If your doctor determines you are physically unable to work due to your injury or occupational disease, Tennessee law provides compensation for lost or reduced wages due to your inability to work. These benefits are available only if you cannot work for more than seven consecutive days.
Your temporary disability benefits will be two-thirds of your average weekly wage at the time of your injury, subject to a statutory maximum. As of July 1, 2016, the maximum weekly benefit is $976.80. You will receive payment directly from your employer or its insurance carrier on a weekly basis.
Once your doctor has determined you have reached maximum medical improvement (MMI), which means that further treatment isn't expected to improve your condition, your doctor will assess whether you have any permanent impairment resulting from your injury or illness. Your doctor will give you an impairment rating. This rating, plus your vocational abilities (for example, your prior training), are combined to come up with your permanent disability award.
The permanent disability award will be a certain number of weeks of payment of two-thirds of your average weekly wage at the time of injury, subject to a statutory maximum. As of July 1, 2016, the maximum benefit for permanent disability is $888 per week. The number of weeks is set by statute, and is determined by your permanent impairment rating and vocational factors. You can also negotiate a lump-sum settlement with your employer or their insurance company so that you can be paid all the weeks at once.
Your doctor will complete an Attending Physician's Report once you have reached maximum medical improvement. Your doctor will note your permanent impairment rating, if any, on this form. Within thirty days of receiving this form, your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier must make an offer of settlement to you in writing. If you are concerned about whether the offer represents a fair settlement of your case, you should review this offer of settlement with a worker's comp attorney in your area. To accept the offer, you must sign the offer of settlement and return the form to your employer or its insurance carrier. If you approve the settlement, the insurance carrier will submit the settlement to the Workers' Comp Division for approval, with a copy to the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Labor. Alternatively, if you do not agree with the settlement offer, you or your employer may request a benefit review conference (see below).
If you've been denied workers' compensation benefits or are unhappy with settlement offers made by your employers' insurance company, you can request a benefit review. For more information on appeals, see our article Appealing a Worker's Comp Claim in Tennessee.
There are eight workers' compensation "benefit review" offices in Tennessee, including one in many larger communities. The main three offices are:
Memphis Office
170 North Main Street, 11th Floor
Memphis, Tennessee 38103-1820
Jackson Office

"Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
- Louis Brendeis, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1916-1939
Today, I'd like to highlight one of Kareo's greatest benefits: transparency. If you work as a medical biller for a practice or a billing company, chances are you've had frustrated physicians confront you and demand more information about their practice performance. Likewise, if you are a physician you've probably often struggled with getting more actionable information from your medical billers. Openness and transparency are critical to the success of any enterprise. While no medical billing system is perfect, Kareo works hard to give you greater transparency on your performance than any other medical billing software or practice management system on the market today.
Here are just a few of the ways you get greater transparency and insight with Kareo:
1. Web-Based Dashboards – You can't be informed about your performance if you don't have access to the numbers. With traditional, on-premise medical billing software, access to your data might be limited to computers located in your billing office. But with web-based software, you can access dashboards and financial reports from any PC with an Internet connection. With Kareo, you can add an unlimited number of users to your account. So you and your colleagues can access your data from home, office, or on the road. This means you'll be better informed about your performance and you'll be able to address minor issues before they become more serious problems that impact your cash flow.
2. Contract Management – With all of the complexity of the insurance reimbursement process, many physicians have no idea if they are getting paid what they are owed from insurance companies. But with Kareo, you can load fee schedules with your standard fees and contractual allowed amounts for each insurance company and use our simple Contract Management Reports to make sure you are getting paid what you are owed, when you are owed it. This provides you the information you need to hold the insurance companies accountable.
3. Insurance Collections – Every practice management system has accounts receivable reports, but these reports alone do not tell managers what they need to know to distinguish problems related to payer delinguency from problems related to poor collections follow-up by employees. That's why Kareo goes beyond the typical accounts receivable reporting with our unique Insurance Collections Summary and Detail reports. These reports show you exactly where each dollar of accounts receivable is in the process, whether they be unbilled, submitted and pending adjudication by an insurance company, rejected or denied by an insurance company, past due based on the insurance company's contractual response time, pending patient payment, or past due by the patient. You can also review the percentage of your total accounts receivable and average age of collectible amounts in each of these buckets. With this information, you can pinpoint the root cause of problems in your collections process.
4. Automated Email Reports – Even if you don't have time to login to Kareo on a regular basis, you can still stay informed about your financial performance. With just a few mouse clicks, Kareo can be configured to automatically email you daily, weekly, or monthly reports with your key performance indicators, such as billing, receipts, A/R balance, and your average days from service to payment. Delivered in a clear and simple HTML email format, these convenient reports help keep you in the loop about the financial health of your practice no matter how busy you may be.

Why are iframe embeds working when I insert them and preview the form but disappearing after I logout and back in and edit the fomr?Asked by JMorse on December 24, 2013 at 02:53 PM
I am trying to embed this form :
as an iframe into a Free Text field on this form:
JotForm Support
I think that this is happening due to our recent security updates. We have added some fixes to prevent any possible XSS attacks.
I have submitted a ticket about that issue with stripped iFrames. We will get back to you via this thread when we have any news.
Thanks...it was driving me nuts. Standing by.
JotForm Support
Hi we made a patch to fix this issue. In any case let us know if this reach your forms.
And if not please report back in order to further investigate the problem.
Thank you for patience and cooperation.
So far, so good. This seems to have been rectified. Kudos to your Support Staff. You all rock!
JotForm Support
Thank you for taking the time to update us.
Our developer have received your latest message.
Best Regards,
Hmm...might there still be a bug? I am embedding this form:
1. http://form.jotform.co/form/33575378162865
into this form as an iframe in a FreeText field:
2. http://form.jotformpro.com/form/33572199919974
Form 1 works perfectly all the time on its own, however when embedded in Form 2, it works fine at first but when I try it later, the right side of the form is cut off. I increased the form width to 160% in the iframe...still not workng right.
We appreciate you explaining this issue more to me. I've tested this myself via two cloned forms of your form 1 and form 2 to check it. Perhaps what you see below is what you might be seeing which may be misleading to cause some confusion with the problem at hand.
Was there a browser that you were viewing it in and it was still cut off? If so then which one and what version of the browser were you using?
Its notable that inside of the form when it's embedded it certainly appears cut off inside that field.
However, when viewed on the form itself as a whole it can be seen that this is clearly not the case.
The right side is cut off in both the most current version of Chrome and with IE 11. Behaves the same in both browsers.
JotForm Support
The embedded form as iframe doesn't have a width property on the style attribute that's why it gets cut off on the right side. Please re-embed your form with the following.
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//form.jotform.co/form/33575378162865" style="height:480px;width:710px;border:none;"></iframe>
I have bolded the corrected part of the code. This might fixed it. Thanks!
The iframe code generated for the embedded form produces height and width properties in the code as: style="width:100%; height:480px; I don't know much about html and css but I am guessing that using the % value, ratheer than apx value is the problem. I copied/pasted the generated iframe code exactly several times and experienced the same problem repeatedly and, as you noted when you viewed the iframe code, the width value was missing altogether. I didn't remove it. It was getting stripped at some point in the process. Using your suggestion will hopefully now make it stick. So far so good. Thanks for your help. If it fails again, I'll be in touch!
JotForm Support Manager
We are very happy hearing your issue was sorted out.

Which Movie Will You Go See This Weekend?
It's an interesting time for movies this weekend as The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian sequel hits theaters, providing the only real competition for Iron Man. Many of you have probably already sought out Iron Man, so what's next for you at the cinema? Narnia? A little Vegas action, perhaps? Or maybe the hypercolored Speed Racer?

#10 Cheese, Bacon, and Fried Chicken
The top ten is rounded out by a few foods that are very similar in addictiveness. Cheese, bacon and fried chicken will all draw you in with lots of starchiness – and even more fat. The foods that placed just after these are similar: rolls and buttered popcorn are also oozing with grease and fat.
#9 Cake
Despite our protestations to the contrary, cake is one of the most addictive and destructive foods. Cake has plenty of processed sugar and fat. As a result, one slice of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting has a whopping 506 calories and 22 grams of fat.
#8 Soda
Americans consume about 40 gallons of soda per person every year. That's as good an indication as any that the soda is super addictive. Of the 6 tablespoons of sugar we eat every day, half of them come from soda. Since soda is linked with high blood pressure, cancer and obesity, it's probably a good time to stop.
#7 Cheeseburger
We all love cheeseburgers, mostly because the burger contains the fat, carbs and cheese that our bodies crave. A Burger King cheeseburger has 270 calories, with 12 grams of fat, and 630 mg of salt. The salt only makes you want more salt, which is a very bad thing.
#6 French Fries
French fries are quite addictive. They contain acrylamide, which according the FDA says is linked to some kinds of cancer in animals. Fried foods are addictive but not healthy. McDonald's fries have an enormous 510 calories and 24 grams of fat.
#5 Ice Cream
We all scream of ice cream, but it's got a lot of saturated fat. That's because it is made mostly of cream and milk. A single serving of Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream contains 230 calories and 14 grams of fat, and theirs is not even the worst perpetrator.
#4 Cookies
Studies found that cookies are the fourth most addictive foods. One study found that Oreo cookies were as addictive as cocaine when given to rats. Some may dispute the study, but there is a correlation between the way drugs make your brain react and the way your brain responds to sugar.
#3 Chips
Potato chips are some of the most hard to resist foods on the planet. A 2013 meeting of the American Chemical Society found that when subjects were given the choice between potato chips and their regular food, they overwhelmingly chose potato chips. That's because chips had a marked effect on their brain behavior. A study involving rats showed that chips made rates eat to excess for pleasure, rather than to satisfy hunger cravings.
#2 Chocolate
Although chocolate has health benefits, it is #2 on the addiction ranking scale. A Drexel University study found that chocolate gives people a similar kind of craving and pleasure that they get from taking drugs.
#1 Pizza
Pizza is one of the most popular food in the U.S. According the Department of Agriculture, on any given day, 13% of the U.S. population eats pizza. That's clearly an addictive mix of cheese, carbs and meat. Unfortunately, a slice contains a whopping 300 calories and about 10 grams of fat. This increases exponentially as you add processed meats and other toppings.

This guy and I have been dating for 2 months now. We are away for the summer but in about a week and a half im going to go visit him! We have both talked a few weeks ago saying that we were happy with how things were going between us so far! By the time i go see him we will have beenn dating for about 2 1/2 months. Im pretty sure I am going to be meeting his family (Im planning on introducing him to mine over skype). Should I bring up being exlcusive, or does this insinuate I want to be his girlfriend? (I do want to behis gf but dont want to rush things or freak him out)
Is being exclusive different from being boyfriend/girlfriend?

What Guys Said 1
I think it is better to make everything you want explicit00|00|0
yes, because I want a relationship but if he ends up not wanting one that would cause some issues, like i continuing this on the basis that there is potential for relationships, however do you think 2 and a half months is enough time?

Instant disaster recovery over WAN with network storage server
FalconStor Software
: 14 October, 2008
(New Product)
NSS from FalconStor integrates with Hyper-V technology on Windows Server 2008 to offer WAN based disaster recovery
FalconStor Software has announced that, as part of its ongoing support of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V
technology, FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) software works seamlessly with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering to provide instantaneous disaster recovery (DR) over the wide-area network (WAN) in both physical server and Hyper-V virtual server environments.
Integrating both logical and virtual worlds, the combination of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering and Hyper-V virtual servers enables automatic failover of business-critical applications running on geographically dispersed physical and virtual servers. The solution provides companies with integrated data protection, less expensive DR and immediate recovery from server failure.
FalconStor's open software-based SAN replication and cluster protection software, FalconStor NSS, is tightly integrated with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering, enabling not only protection of the host server but also of individual Hyper-V virtual machines configured as clustered servers. FalconStor is the first data protection vendor to deliver replication and automated failover processes in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 environments at the block level, which eliminates any performance impact on the host.
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V in multi-site cluster deployments enables IT organisations to cost-effectively adopt virtualisation, improve utilisation, optimise infrastructure and rapidly provision new servers using systems management tools for both physical and virtualised environments. FalconStor NSS software provides a real-time software-based replication and multi-site failover solution with application integrity optimised for Microsoft virtual server environments.
'As an early adopter of Microsoft Hyper-V in our production environment, which runs hundreds of virtualised servers created with Microsoft's Hyper-V
technology, we have been able to benefit from FalconStor NSS software's support of Hyper-V for nearly a year," said Oyvind Kaldestad, vice president of Corporate IT for Lionbridge Technologies. "Also, having tested FalconStor NSS software with Microsoft Windows 2008 Failover Clustering and Hyper-V using different SANs between the primary and DR site, we are excited to see how well the failover process works without locking us into identical storage hardware at each location."
FalconStor NSS software automatically protects both Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V clusters through WAN optimisation and automated multi-site cluster failover integration. With FalconStor NSS software, customers can unify their multi-vendor SAN environments and replicate to a remote site using nearly any vendor's storage equipment at either location.
"In the past, integrating high availability and disaster recovery capabilities together into a 'geo clustering' solution has been an expensive proposition that required significant administration sophistication and expertise," said Eric Burgener, senior analyst at The Taneja Group. "FalconStor now has added capabilities to its core NSS software offering that makes creating these configurations for Windows Server 2008 environments simpler and more cost-effective, giving customers a much more approachable, integrated HA/DR solution. With evolving business and regulatory mandates turning DR into a must-have capability, this development will be welcomed by mid-market and enterprise customers alike."
'Our storage
and data protection software provides a TOTALLY Open, enterprise-proven solution for businesses seeking to improve their recovery-time and recovery-point objectives in a cost-effective manner," said Bernie Wu, FalconStor vice president of business development. "The integration work we've done with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and Failover Clustering takes this one step further by providing overall multi-site application availability and consistency.'
FalconStor NSS software provides a disaster recovery suite for Windows Server 2008 that seamlessly supports Microsoft's multi-site failover clustering feature for physical servers or Hyper-V virtual servers while ensuring application integrity during failover. Transactional applications - such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Exchange and others - present a huge data-integrity challenge when they are configured within multi-site clusters where DR is required. Because of the latency and distance that the WAN introduces, there is no guarantee that every block of data will arrive at the secondary site in the event of a failure. FalconStor NSS software enhances data protection for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering in multi-site environments by ensuring at the sub-block level that each application has a clean, consistent restart point just before service was interrupted.
FalconStor and Microsoft have a strong history of working together to provide scalable business solutions for the mid-tier and enterprise markets. FalconStor is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a managed ISV partner and has earned Microsoft's Advanced Infrastructure Storage Solution Specialization Competency.
