In my previous post, I covered what Republicans want to do to Medicaid. In this post, I intend to delve into why Republicans want to gut Medicaid.
Republicans present their budget proposal as a solution to the "problems" of Medicaid and Medicare, which their budget cites as two of the biggest drivers of national debt. But, as I demonstrated in my previous post, Medicaid and Medicare aren't the problem. They're part of the much larger problem of rising health care costs — a problem the GOP budget doesn't solve. (More on that in an upcoming post.)
If Republicans are intent on ignoring the white-coated elephant in the room, and solving "problems" that exist in their minds only, that raises an important question about their plans for Medicaid.
Why Republicans Want To Gut Medicaid
Why does the GOP want to gut Medicaid? Because conservatives have hated Medicaid since its inception in 1965, for reasons Paul Waldman aptly summarized.
…The primary objection here isn't budgetary; it's moral. Many conservatives feel that poverty is a moral failing, and if you're getting help from a government program, you're probably some kind of scamming welfare queen sucking off people who work for a living, getting a benefit you don't deserve. [emphasis added]
Conservatives like Paul Ryan have repeatedly said their goal is "strengthening welfare for those who need it." But what the Republican budget reflects is much closer to House Minority Leader Eric Cantor's statement that Medicaid and Medicare amount to "a safety net in place in this country for people who frankly don't need one."
But Jim Wallis reminds us that, "a budget is a moral document," that "reveals what your fundamental priorities are: who is important and who is not; what is important and what is not." And the Republican budget casts Medicaid recipients as "the undeserving poor." Cutting aid for those who need it most makes perfect sense, if you believe those who need help the most deserve it the least. (For a more in-depth explanation, I recommend George Lakoff.
The budgetary justification for gutting Medicaid is weak. As I pointed out in the previous post, the cost-per-beneficiary for Medicaid is lower than private insurance. But the GOP thinks that "Medicaid is the easiest to win consensus on." That's because their perception of Medicaid is that it's "just a program for poor people."
Paul Ryan himself gave that much away when he said in his Wall Street Journal op-ed that Medicaid reform is really welfare reform. He gives much more away with his desire to model the GOP's "Medicaid reform" on the "successful" welfare reform of the late 90s. As wrote in a previous post, what Ryan sees as the "successful" welfare reform of the 90s was really a classic conservative "catastrophic success."
See, there's the problem with this is that the welfare reform of the late 1990s was not a success. Not unless you're a conservative. And even then it was at best a "catastrophic success" — defined here as "success" that's actually catastrophic for those it's purported to help. That's also what makes it a success. That is, if you're a conservative.
What makes it a success? Well, in a sense, failure. It works if it doesn't work, in other words, especially if it doesn't work for the right people — because the right people are the wrong people. Follow me? No?
…Paul Ryan, in his WSJ op-ed, says that with his roadmap we "strengthen and improve welfare programs for those who need them, we eliminate welfare for those who don't." It's curious, because it really does sound like he wants to duplicate the catastrophic success of the welfare reform of the 1990s. The "success" was getting people off welfare rolls, not necessarily improving their condition. It was about reducing the number of people receiving government assistance, not reducing the need for assistance. Simply put, it's fewer people getting help, instead of fewer people needing help.
It's like the right wing version of a Zen kōan that cannot be understood by the rational mind, and only makes sense to the conservative mind. It only makes sense if you believe that those who need help the most deserve it the least, and their need itself is the greatest evidence of that.
Then, not only does it makes economic sense to slash Medicaid beyond recognition, it makes moral sense. In fact, it seems like common sense. So much so, that it seems safe for Republicans to assume most people will see that Medicaid is "just a program for poor people," and cutting it is both an economic and a moral necessity.
Unfortunately, for the GOP, most people are not "Zen Republicans" and don't see the world through the same distorted lens.
Medicare Is Not "Just For Poor People"
Gutting Medicaid won't be an easier than slashing Medicare, as David Callahan pointed out, because when people think about it.
Yes, Medicaid was designed for the poor during Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty and still serves as a lifesaver — literally — for millions of low-income Americans. But it also benefits legions of seniors, primarily by covering nursing-home stays. And this group — along with their kids — will go on the warpath if Congress slashes Medicaid. Democrats foolish enough to sign on to big cuts — say, out of desperation to keep the government from defaulting — could find themselves in political trouble.
Lawmakers who have set Medicaid on the chopping block might want to bear in mind a few basic facts before they start swinging the ax.
First, the bulk of Medicaid benefits — two-thirds — go to the elderly and disabled. Drilling down further, a quarter of Medicaid spending helps seniors. So forget the idea that this is a program that mainly caters to poor adults and children.
In turn, many of Medicaid's benefits for seniors pay for nursing-home stays. Some 70 percent of America's 1.4 million nursing-home residents are on Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. And it's well known that plenty of middle-class and even upper-middle-class people turn to Medicaid for nursing-home coverage — either after exhausting their savings or impoverishing themselves by transferring assets to others.
This isn't hard to figure out. For starters, Republicans could look at the actual distribution of Medicaid dollars.
For that matter, Republicans could step outside of their beltway conservative bubble-within-a-bubble (that means outside their congressional offices, and at least several blocks away from Capitol Hill) and ask actual middle- and working-class people. When I every forty-and-above co-worker I had told me to make sure I mention exactly what David Callahan pointed out: that plenty of middle class and upper class people turn to Medicaid for nursing home coverage after "spending down" their assets and "impoverishing themselves" sufficiently to qualify for Medicaid.
Callahan also cites an April 2011 Kaiser Family Foundation poll which shows Medicaid is a popular program and suggests why.
Strong public support of Medicaid appears a dividend of many Americans either receiving assistance from the program or knowing a family member or friend who has. While 56 million Americans are enrolled in Medicaid at one time, about 69 million are enrolled at some point during the year as people go in and out of the program.
About half of respondents say they or a friend or family member has received Medicaid, and a similar share say the program is important to their family. Among the one in five respondents who personally have been covered by Medicaid, 86 percent reported a "very" or "somewhat" positive experience, the survey found.
A more recent Kaiser poll from just last month showed that 1 in 5 Americans have received Medicaid benefits.
Support for maintaining the current program may be due at least in part to the public's personal connections to Medicaid and a strong sense of the program's importance. About half of Americans say they or a friend or family member has received Medicaid assistance at some point, and a similar share say the program is important to their family. Among the 20 percent of adults who personally have been covered by Medicaid, reported experiences are positive.
"If you watch the debate about the deficit and entitlements, you would think that almost everyone has a problem with the Medicaid program and wants to change it, or cut it — or both," said Kaiser President and CEO Drew Altman. "The big surprise in this month's tracking poll is that one group who does not want to cut Medicaid is the American people."
"With about 69 million people expected to be covered by Medicaid this year, it is no longer the -welfare-linked program it once was," Altman added. "Medicaid may not be the lower-hanging fruit that many who want to reduce federal entitlement spending have assumed it is."
Medicaid Is Important To The Middle Class
My office is not exactly an ideological cross section of the country, but what was foremost in my coworkers minds is something that the Kaiser poll reflects and something that most Americans understand about Medicaid.
This is mostly a program for the elderly and the disabled. It's the main way we finance long-term care in this country. If you don't directly benefit from it, you very likely have a parent or grandparent who does and whose financial needs will simply tend to fall on you if the program is cut.
We all have parents or grandparents. As they age, the medical care most of them will need will only get more expensive. Some of them will need long-term care or nursing home care, the cost of which will outstrip our families already stressed financial resources.
A year in a nursing home costs an average of $72,000, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, and that's if there aren't an additional costs beyond just getting a bed in a nursing home. Medicare pays for about a month. It's not hard to see how easily and quickly our parents and grandparents can "spend down" their assets to quality for Medicaid.
We love our parents and grandparents, and we won't want their lack of resource or ours to keep them from getting the they need. Families USA's report, "Cutting Medicaid: Harming Seniors and People with Disabilities," shows that Medicare is a big part of how our parents and grandparents get the care they need.
- Medicaid is the primary payer for an estimated 63.6 percent of all nursing home residents. In all states but one, Medicaid is the primary payer for more than 50 percent of nursing home residents.
- In seven states and the District of Columbia, Medicaid is the primary payer for more than 70 percent of all nursing home residents. Those states are the District of Columbia (80.1%), Mississippi (74.7%), Alaska (73.8%), Louisiana (73.0%), New York (72.3%), West Virginia (72.2%), Georgia (71.9%), and Hawaii (70.1%).
It all means that Medicaid is an important program for middle- and working-class families, too.
It's not just us forty-somethings-and-up who see it that way. It's our parents and grandparents too. Many of them realize what the cost of long-term care or nursing home care out would mean to their children, and their grandchildren.
Medicaid pays the bill for 66% of all nursing home residents. And these aren't the indigent — most\many of them are the result of middle-income people who have already run through their own money paying for their nursing home costs, and then become eligible for Medicaid. If Medicaid doesn't pick that up anymore, who's left? The children of the residents? Who are trying to send their kids to college and saving for their own retirement? Not that Paul Ryan cares, but essentially, states will need to choose between basic healthcare for low-income people and nursing home care for formerly-middle-income people with no money left. …Imagine their reaction when they learn (too late?) that the Medicaid changes Paul Ryan and the Republicans want to make would mean they have to pay several hundreds of dollars a day to keep their parents in the nursing home they have been in for months\years?
This is true for millions of middle class Americans, and it's what makes Medicaid a program that helps support the middle class. Most of us are children of parents who worked hard to attain or maintain middle class status, and to pass its advantages. Most of our parents know that what kind of economic burden the Republicans' proposed cuts would mean for us and their grandchildren — a reversal of the life they worked so hard for us to have in the first place.
Not only do we have have parents and grandparents whom we love, and who love, many of us also have children with disabilities who benefit from Medicaid. At Peter Peterson's recent Fiscal Summit, White House National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling explained what the "tyranny of the math" means for our families on that front.
And I say this to everybody in this room, there is enormous discussion about the revenue side and the Medicare side. But from a policy perspective, from a values perspective, we should be very deeply troubled by the Medicaid cuts in the House Republican plan. I want to make clear what they are. This is not my numbers, this is theirs.
After they completely repeal the Affordable Care act, which would take away coverage for 34 million Americans, according to the Congressional Budget Office. After they've completely repealed that, they do a block grant that would cut Medicaid by $770 billion. In 2021, that would cut the program by 35 percent. Under their own numbers, by 2030, it would cut projected spending in Medicaid by half. By 49 percent. So, of course– I don't think– or imply any negative intentions or– lack of compassion. But there is a tyranny of the numbers that we have to face.
And here's the tyranny of the numbers. Sixty-four percent of Medicaid spending goes to older people in nursing homes or families who have someone with serious disabilities. Another 22 percent goes to 35 million very poor children. Now I ask you, how could you possibly cut 35 percent of that budget and not hurt hundreds of thousands, if not millions of families who are dealing with a parent or a grandparent in a nursing home, or a child with serious disabilities. How is the math possible.
If you tried to protect them mathematically, you would have to eliminate coverage for all 34 million children. Now I know some people didn't like when– the President mentioned that this was going to be very negative for families, for those amazingly brave parents. And he may be one of them in our country, who have a child with autism or Down's and who just are enormously committed and dedicated to doing everything they can to give their child the same chance– every other child has.
But here's the reality. Medicaid does help so many families in those situations. Over the years, we've allowed more middle class families who have a child with autism to get help in Medicaid. There's a medical needy program that says when you spend down– we'll– we'll count the income after you've spent down medical costs.
There's a Katie Beckett (PH) program that was passed by President Reagan that says if you have a child that's in need of institutional care– you can get help from Medicaid. This is– this is a life support for many of these families. But these are the optional programs in Medicaid. These are the ones that go to more middle class families. If you're going to cut 49 percent of projected Medicaid spending by 2030, do you really think these programs will not be seriously hurt.
So when we say that there– that the tyranny of the math is that these– these– this Medicaid– program, this Medicaid cut will lead to millions of poor children, children with serious disabilities, children with autism– elderly Americans in nursing homes losing their coverage or being– or– or having it significantly cut, we are not criticizing their plan. We are just simply explaining their plan.
Digby asked simple question after Sperling's remarks: "Can any American know that that none of these things will ever happen to them?"
Of course we can't. That's why Medicaid isn't just an important program for poor families. It's an imporant part of the social contract for middle-class and working-class Americans too.

With version 5.1's JSF Expert, AgitarOne provides mocks, using the Shale Test Framework, and test helpers to facilitate enhanced agitation and test generation of code using JSF. JSF is a development framework that provides a set of standard, reusable components used for building rich, dynamic graphical user interfaces for Java applications.
"One of our primary goals with this latest release was to provide an additional level, or depth of analysis, for our users," says Dale Brenneman, Agitar's VP of Technology. "Our existing support for JSF is now significantly enhanced with the delivery of our new JSF Expert."
Another feature of AgitarOne 5.1 is an enhancement to the Hibernate Experts. The Hibernate Experts previously have supported Hibernate 2.x through 3.x, for configurations using XML mapping files. Hibernate 3.2 introduced configurations with annotations, which are now supported with this Hibernate Experts enhancement.
Agitar has also included other upgrades in the new version, such as those to the AgitarOne Client so that the Eclipse IDE plugins are now compatible with Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo).

The man charged with shooting a 33-year-old in the head and neck on Roosevelt Avenue last week is a suspected gang member, the Queens district attorney said.
Authorities believe 20-year-old Pedro Silva of Jackson Heights is part of the street gang M18, the DA's office said.
Silva was charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon and tampering with evidence in the Sept. 20 shooting death of Corona resident Ivan Rodriguez, according to the borough's top prosecutor.
Silva, along with several other suspected gang members, chased Rodriguez on the Jackson Heights avenue and allegedly shot the 33-year-old in the head and neck after he fell, the DA said.
M18, which is also known as "Mara 18" and the "18th Street" gang, is a transnational gang with origins in Mexico and California, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
After the shooting, Silva allegedly fled and dumped his weapon in the trash near 37th Avenue, according to the district attorney's office.
Police later recovered a .22 caliber gun, five spent rounds and one live round from a pile of garbage located in front of 37-61 88th St., the DA's office said.

Why the Bo Pelini Recording Should Disgust Nebraska Cornhusker Fans
Tap, tap, tap...
Hear that?
That's the sound of some Nebraska football fans building the coffin of head coach Bo Pelini.
It's been going on for a while, but things really kicked into high gear after last season's Big 10 Championship game loss to Wisconsin, when the Nebraska defense gave up 640 yards of total offense.
Final score: Badgers 70, Huskers 31
Tap, tap, tap...
One month later, at the Capital One Bowl, Georgia rolled up 589 yards on the Nebraska 'D'.
Final score: Bulldogs 45, Huskers 31
Tap, tap, tap...
Fast forward to August - new season, new expectations, same vitriol - only this time after a Nebraska WIN, when the Cornhuskers allowed 602 yards in a 37-34 victory over Wyoming.
Tap, tap, tap...
That hammering grew to a crescendo last Saturday, when Nebraska blew a 21-3 lead at home to UCLA, giving up 38 unanswered points in one of the worst home losses in decades.
Final score: Bruins 41, Huskers 21
Monday afternoon those smug builders finally thought they had found a lid for their newly constructed coffin, when the website Deadspin released an audio of Pelini raging (WARNING: mature content) after a 2011 game against Ohio State (ironically another Nebraska WIN).
The clip is classic Bo - angry, crude, defiant, raw - and he apologized for it late Monday.
But why should he apologize? It was supposed to be a private conversation - that's the key thing to remember. As tough as it is to listen to that meltdown, we weren't supposed to hear it.
All of us, at one point in our lives, have vented about something or someone, and while we might not have used the same language, we were confident our rant would go no farther than that place, at that moment.
You know who should be apologizing today? The person who surreptitiously recorded a private conversation and then hung on to it for two years.
You know who else should be apologizing today? The person (or people) who decided that the Nebraska fan base was so disillusioned after the UCLA game, that this little 'grenade' would provide those last, precious nails to finally seal that coffin they've been building for Pelini.
But in their rush to bury Bo they forgot one thing: the vast majority of Nebraska football fans operate on brain waves, not just blinding emotion.
There is no way this audio has anything to do with the UCLA loss, or the current state of Cornhusker football. If they wanted to get Pelini, they might have had their chance, two years ago when these comments were made, but not now.
Trust me, if things on the field don't get much better for Nebraska the rest of this season, there will be plenty of legitimate reasons to consider a coaching change.
In the meantime, someone in Lincoln has a newly constructed coffin that I'm sure you can take off their hands cheap...

control frizz / add texture. apply pomade to the bottom third of the hair strand. work a bit into damp hair to control frizz and get better definition.
curly hair. work pomade into the middle of the hair shaft towards the ends. when styling the front of your head—press remaining product into ends. tousle for desired look.
w/ sage styling cream. for more control, first apply sage styling cream and then finish with pomade, or mix both together before applying. finish your style. warm pomade in palms and skim gently over the surface of the hair, coaxing stray hairs into place.
messy / distressed look. work through the length of long damp or dry hair to get that messy, distressed look. use throughout for texture, or just on ends for shape and separation.
short hair. take a small amount and twist it through shorter hair for a piece-y, haphazard effect.
sleek / straight. comb pomade through damp hair from root to tip before blow-drying straight or gently flat iron for straight hair with texture and body.

The Nebraska Cattlemen's (NC) Nebraska Corn-Fed Beef (NCFB) Program has three basic requirements for membership: You must participate in the Nebraska Cattlemen effort, keep health and genetic records on each animal from birth to slaughter and attend one of the Beef Quality Assurance training schools in the state. More than 2,300 veterinarians, Extension workers and producers are currently certified in this effort.
The aim is to produce more quality and consistency in the cattle we produce, says Dave Hamilton of Reed Hamilton Ranch. Hamilton and other task force members, Extension and allied industries began 18 months ago to design the NC managed-label program that differentiates its product from commodity beef.
The goal: to answer concerns about declining market share and live-cattle market information, lack of source-verification back to the ranch and a shortage of value-added and consistent beef products available to consumers.
IBP has agreed to sign on as packer cooperator and has worked with the NCFB program in developing an exclusive grid-pricing program. The first of the 5,000 head enrolled in the program will go to slaughter in April or May, according to Lee Weide, director of the NCFB program. The two-year goal is 1,000 head a week or 50,000 each year.
Hamilton is one of those members who keeps individual health and genetic records from birth on each of his Angus-Simmental calves. For source verification and identification, he puts the tamper-proof Allflex tag with the exclusive NCFB label on each calf before it leaves for the feedlot. One number on the tag identifies the ranch, another the individual animal. The cost is $2/head for Nebraska producers and $3 for out-of-state-members.
Program Specs - The NC Committee has designed its live and carcass specifications. Cattle must contain no discernible Bos indicus influence. They are to be fed at least 90 days in a NC member feedlot on a high-concentrate ration of at least 50% corn or corn by-products. Out-of-state producers can participate if they belong to their own state cattle association.
Cattle must be marketed at less than 30 months of age, but don't have to come right off the cow into the feedyard. "They can be on a yearling program provided they grade 'A' maturity when slaughtered," notes Weide.
A $5/head enrollment fee covers basic carcass data collection such as hot carcass weight, quality and yield grades. Additional carcass data such as marbling score and ribeye area will cost extra.
Nebraska Corn-Fed Beef has been designated as the brand name with three product specifications being considered: Prime for export and hotel-restaurant trade, upper 21/43 Choice for this same market and upper Select to low-Choice for retail trade. Weide believes that 70-80% of NCFB cattle will meet these specifications.
For more information on NCFB contact Lee Weide at 402/475-2333.

Well, I have to care a little. You can't do this stuff in a bubble forever. Anyway, I have too many blogs so anyone who happens to stumble across this brand new avenue for my spleen venting activities of the virtual nature, feel free to comment often and use profanity with complete abandon if you like. Even thought I am a bicycle framebuilder of over 30 year of servitude, my opinions are still just that- opinions , and no amount of arguing on my part makes them any more valid than yours, unless of course, yours are wrong. Much as I love my world of building bikes, there also is so much to hate. As I see it, there are two predominant schools of being a bike framebuilder. School # 1, the authority......who I like to refer to as "snake-oil salesman" and # 2, the olde villige smithye, the guy who serves his community in ways that it cannot serve itself. Builder # 1 will tell you what you want. Builder # 2 will ask you what you need. But wait.....this is a custom bike ! What about all the glitter and shiny stuff ? What about the art, poetry and romance that attracts folks to such a purchase ? Those things are offered by both types of builders, its just that # 1 relies more heavily on these aspects while # 2 will consider the shiny bits optional and almost inconsequential to the purpose of the bike. Right now the big trend for new builders is to be # 1, the guy who makes rolling art, mobile jewelry........pretense you can pedal. I don't blame the new folks for wanting to build such bikes as I wanted to do the same in 1978. I saw bikes built by Albert Eisentraut, Bruce Gordon , Art Stump and Hetchins and thought: " Gee, that's what I want to do, only I want to do it my way !". After filing on lugs seemingly for weeks and building frames that had hundereds of hours invested in their construction I got a bit frustrated. I guess it really wasn't me. I started thinking that fit and function of the bike were enough of a challenge to attempt to master and that the extreme artfulness just got in the way of making a good bike. While this is an oversimplification and here are lots of beautiful bikes that ride extremely well and suit thier riders needs to a tee , I am always reminded when I go to a bicycle race and see none of these bikes in top competetive events it re-enforces my position that art, although impressive and attractive can get in the way of what a bicycle is supposed to do-be a good thing to ride. There are some builders that live on both worlds of building, the functional and the purley artistic. I'm most impressed with these few and hold them in high esteem. Obviously I lean to the builder # 2 side........hey, I run a racing team and I do race a little myself so that is my world. I do think, however that if the time was available and I felt like it I could make a really fancy frame. my contention is that nobody would care, at least not as much as if it were made by a builder with the reputation for doing such fancy work. There it is, my excuse to not make rolling art ! Stay tuned for more utterly one-sided rantings from one of the west coasts most nauseatingly outspoken builders.

College may seem like what happens after high school, but it's also what happens at the beginning of a career. Northern alumni share their stories in a monthly series of blogs. Click here to view previous alumni bloggers.
Evan Lucas
Evan Lucas graduated April 2011 with a B.S. in Construction Management and a minor in Business Administration. He currently works as a Project Engineer for Whiting Turner Contracting Company.
How did you decide on your major/minor?
I had always been interested in building and architecture. My original plan was to study architecture but I chose NMU based off of an offer to play hockey, and there is no architecture program at NMU. Construction Management was the most closely related major, and would have been an excellent stepping stone towards a master's in architecture had I chose that route (I did apply to schools but then withdrew due to accepting a job offer – I thought the job experience was more important at the time).
Do you have any advice on what's important to keep in mind when choosing a university?
Although majors and prestige play a role in selection, I think that a campus visit can make or break a decision when choosing a university. You have to realize that the next 4+ years of your life will be spent there and if you can't see yourself enjoying the campus, the town, the people, etc., then you shouldn't go there. I had a few hockey offers from Ivy League schools, but after going on a visit (to Yale), I quickly realized that I would not fit in well with my surroundings and I didn't think I'd enjoy my college experience as much. Marquette's my home town, and it was an excellent place for me to attend college.
Did you end up working in the field of your major/minor? If not, did not majoring in your professional field hinder you in any way?
Yes I did. I am currently a Project Engineer for Whiting Turner Contracting Company out of Baltimore, MD. A P.E. is the typical starting position for a graduate in Construction Management.
How did you get into your professional field?
Every year, the Construction Management program at NMU hosts a Career Fair for its majors the week of homecoming. This fair always has several of the nation's top contracting companies (mostly out of Chicago), and that is where I was introduced to Whiting Turner. Last fall, I was privileged enough to be a recruiting representative from Whiting Turner at the fair.
Part 2
If you had to do college over again, what would you make sure you did the same and what would you do differently?
I wouldn't have done much differently. Had I not been injured and forced to have to quit hockey; that would have changed a lot of what I did/didn't do.
What advice would you give me, as a student, to help me get the same type of job as you have?
The best way to prepare for my job is to apply for summer internships as a Project Engineer while in school. Construction is learned best in the field, and you're going to be thrown into the fire right from the get-go once you get a job. Having previous experience and the basic know-how is important.
What were the best decisions you made regarding college, your professional career, life in general?
I don't think I've made my best decisions yet. I chose a good school, a good major, and a good job to get some experience (which I think was the right decision for me as opposed to grad school right out of college), but there will be a lot more important decisions with greater significance to come.
Tell us the story of how you decided to go to NMU.
I'm from Marquette originally, and I grew up watching the NMU hockey team. I spent 3 years after high school playing Junior A hockey in New York and Ontario and received several offers from universities out East, but I wanted to come back to the Midwest to play in college. When I got the offer from NMU, I immediately took it. Unfortunately, I got injured prior to my freshman year which forced me to have to sit out that season, and then re-injured once I returned near the end of my freshman year which forced me to have to quit for good.
Part 3
What skills are needed to do what you do?
A strong ability to communicate is important. Every day, I have to deal with a lot of coordination, scheduling, and most importantly, problem solving. Almost everything is handled in teams (of some sort), and critical information must be clearly communicated to owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and/or manufacturers. In order to keep construction projects running smoothly, effective communication is essential.
My job also requires a lot of logic and reasoning, ability to organize and juggle an endless amount of tasks, and as mentioned, problem solving skills.
When you tell people that you graduated from (or are attending) NMU, did they know anything about Northern?
There are actually 7 other employees from my operating group at Whiting Turner (of about 35 people) who are from Michigan and know of NMU; one of which went to NMU. In all, I believe there are 7 NMU graduates who work for Whiting Turner. NMU has a very strong Construction Management Program, and it shows. Several major companies around the country specifically look to NMU graduates for new hires.
There has also been several times where people have come up to me (while wearing an NMU shirt) and asked if I was from the UP. I've actually met a lot of people in the Baltimore region who are from Michigan, and I got the chance to meet Boog Powell (former MLB Star with the Baltimore Orioles) who knew of and loved the UP.
What is your best college memory and why?
It's hard to say. It was great being able to be in my home town with some of my old friends and meet some great new friends, while being able to enjoy everything we all love about Marquette.
Part 4
Was there a faculty member who made a particular impact on your time at NMU or later?
I can't choose only one. All of my professors in Construction Management were tremendously helpful throughout my 4 years at NMU, and they helped make my time in class enjoyable; Daryl Delongchamp, Daryl Kobie, Mike Andary, and Jesse Ross.
I do have to say that the professors who made the greatest impact on my NMU career, and more importantly on my life, were my parents (for obvious reasons); Marsha Lucas – Chemistry, and David Lucas – Physics/Pre-med.
What internships or student jobs did you have with NMU and how did they shape your career?
I worked for two summers as a roofer for G&S Roofing out of Negaunee, one summer as a carpenter for Pyykola Construction out of Marquette, and one summer as a Project Engineer Intern for Power Construction out of Chicago. I held student jobs as a Construction Management Tutor, Teacher's Assistant, and I worked for the Engineering and Planning Department as an AutoCAD technician. I also served as the Head Director of the Superior Dome Soccer Tournament for one year.
Where did you live while attending NMU? Do you have a story about a roommate or a housemate?
I lived at home and then in an apartment on Ohio St. across the street from Graveraet (home was a lot cheaper).
When describing NMU to people who aren't familiar, what do you say?
You can't understand how great of a place it is unless you're there.

The Ilyushin Il-96-400T is to developed in China
A few weeks ago the Russian-Chinese agreement of aeronautical development, particularly in the aviation segment of large passenger jet was ratified. It is well known that Beijing has a major weakness in that area and needs to enhance its industry to be able, by itself, to develop a long-range four-engine wide-body commercial passenger jet airliner.

About the Community & Neighborhood Development Program ||| Currently Funded Activities ||| Results ||| Proposal Qualifications and Process ||| Materials Available from Us ||| How To Contact Us
Business Growth for Job Creation
Preferences ||| Conditions ||| Activities
These activities help existing businesses grow to create jobs for lower income persons. The City places a priority on helping existing businesses (which serve an export market, or which serve the CDBG target neighborhoods) to grow or locate expanded businesses within these neighborhoods. The activities include a business loan program and a small neighborhood-focused business investment program. Activities address Objective E in the Five-Year Plan and generally serve households with 80% of the median income or less.
The Commission will fund non-profits which provide loans or equity funds or other support (such as incubator space) to businesses to expand in order to create new positions.
The 2007 target goal is to help businesses to create at least 38 new jobs available to lower income residents.
For information on how to submit a proposal in this category, click here.
The Commission will give preference to activities that target the development of new full-time jobs which pay at least two times the City's living wage rate, or provide training and advancement opportunities.
may include not-for-profit entities which operate like a business
to serve a fee-paying market and demonstrate a predictable source
of revenue based upon sales or services not funded by the City.
The CD Office
will require
the recipients of loans or equity investments (or other support) to agree to create, at a minimum, one full-time job at a
living wage rate
for every $22,000 of CDBG funds received, and one full-time job
at two times the living wage rate for every amount between $22,001 and $44,000 of CDBG funds received. At least 51% of the
jobs created must be taken by low- or moderate-income persons.
The CD Office may approve the provision of up to 10% of a funded program's amount to provide loans to businesses to retain existing positions held by income-eligible persons. These activities must be able to meet the HUD requirements for "retention".
Ongoing / currently funded activities in this category include:
City CDBG: Economic Development Fund
Common Wealth Development: Housing / Equity Fund
Common Wealth Development: Public Market Development
Madison Development Corporation: Business Loan Program
Continuing projects approved in prior years include the continuing monitoring of businesses previously assisted through Madison Development Corporation's Business Loan Program and the continuing development of a Common Wealth Development Arts Incubator.

The first three months of the winter season produced dismal results for the University of Maine's hockey and basketball teams.
The most troubling is the men's hockey situation.
Coach Tim Whitehead's Black Bears (4-11-2) ended 2012 on an upbeat note when they doubled their previous win total by capturing the championship at the Florida College Classic.
But the stumbling start, which includes an unprecedented 0-6-2 record at Alfond Arena, is worrisome for not only Whitehead and his program, but UMaine athletics as a whole.
If the Black Bears continue to be anemic on offense and keep losing, there will be ramifications.
The problem isn't simply the school's dwindling reputation as a national hockey power. If UMaine doesn't start winning games, fans will continue jumping off the proverbial bandwagon.
That would mean lost revenue for UMaine, which builds its budget around near-capacity crowds at Alfond Arena. In this economy, as the athletic department struggles to make ends meet, there are no easy ways to overcome a substantial hit at the ticket office.
That doesn't appear to have been a major issue yet. Men's hockey is averaging 4,385 tickets issued which, if the figure represents paid admissions, is an average decrease of only 52 fans per game since last season.
Anecdotal evidence suggests many fewer seats have been occupied at Alfond Arena.
This year's UMaine squad, hit hard by graduation and pro signings and hampered by youth and a lack of proven, elite-level players, does not appear to be a Hockey East title contender, nor a candidate for the NCAA tournament.
Even so, Whitehead's teams have shown a propensity for strong second-half play the last two seasons, so a resurgence isn't out of the question.
But if the Black Bears finish 2012-13 the way they started, athletic director Steve Abbott and his higher-ups likely will take a serious look at Whitehead's future.
It would cost UMaine approximately $190,000 — one year's salary — to buy him out. With 18 months remaining on Whitehead's contract, it makes fiscal sense he should keep his job.
At the "mid-major" level of Division I athletics, one bad season seldom results in a coaching change without other significant, extenuating circumstances. The soft-spoken Whitehead has consistently handled himself with class both on and off the ice.
His fiercest critics, who have grumbled about the direction of the program — UMaine has an 89-94-22 record since the start of the 2007-08 season — will clamor for his ouster.
They will point out that there is a precedent, as Abbott fired former women's basketball head coach Cindy Blodgett in 2011. It required UMaine to buy out her $109,772 contract, using one of then-UMaine President Robert Kennedy's "discretionary funds."
That move came after Blodgett's teams won only 24 games in four years, a protracted period of poor performance.
Whitehead's team has always been competitive. UMaine has won 58 games in the last 3 1/2 seasons, has an overall record above .500 (58-54-15), and reached the NCAA tournament last season.
It's not the kind of success to which UMaine fans became accustomed but, under the circumstances, it doesn't warrant a $190,000-plus coaching change.
However, barring an amazing turnaround, the Black Bears are poised to finish this season with one of the worst records in program history. Only three times previously has UMaine failed to win at least 11 games.
Whitehead is skating on thin ice. If he doesn't get his team back in the upper echelon of Hockey East and into the NCAA discussion during the next 15 months, he'll likely be gone.

Robinhound Crusoe
Big Red Chair Books, 1997 - Crusoe, Robinson (Fictitious character) - 142 pages
Oakdale is shut down during a blackout, and Joe's big chance to get noticed by the eighth-grade basketball coach will be left in the dark--unless he and Wishbone can somehow hightail it across town to the game in time! Their adventure reminds Wishbone of Daniel Defoe's great tale "Robinson Crusoe." Wishbone imagines himself as Crusoe, the lone survivor of a shipwreck, tossed into a deset isle without food, shelter, or friends. He soon finds himself battling nature, wild cats, and hungry cannibals. It will take every ounce of brains and courage this canine castaway has to beat the odds and save the day!

The Less Generic NPC project, or LGNPC for short is a mod that aims to replace all the repetitive Morrowind dialogue with more interesting and engaging conversations. We want each NPC in every town, village, or camp to have his or her own personality and back story. We have decided to approach this mod town by town, and release each one when it is finished. We hope to ultimately replace the dialogue for every NPC on Vvardenfell, and so far we have completed 8 towns and a big city. The big city we are talking about is Ald'ruhn, the main headquarters of House Redoran. It is actually the largest single mod we will release, since we are going to do Vivec one canton at a time. This plugin is the biggest Morrowind dialogue mod ever released, containing over 3000 responses for 250 topics, and is equivalent to more than 500 MSWord pages. Moreover, it has 30 quests for you to enjoy. We have aimed to preserve the Morrowind feel...

Dia performs "Speed Dial No.1" and "Another Boy" at KFN 위문열차. Although the backtrack was a bit loud, she is still singing live somewhat. With her newest track "Speed Dial No.1," she adds some dance composition to the live performance.
It's great seeing her still performing and hope that she will be able to grace the more popular live stages again. ^-^

I would be interested in hearing more about the experiences others have had with Vipassana as taught by SN Goenka. I first encountered the technique in 2004 and have been engaged with it since that time. I'm aware that different people of different experience levels view the approach through different lenses. During one course I sat with a venerable monk from Sri Lanka who later gave me some additional context in which to understand Goenkaji's approach. He seemed gratified to have an opportunity to help out at the center, yet it also was clear that he took some of Goenka's discourses with a good-natured grain of salt.
In a different thread, Retro offered a comment that intrigued me:
For me, that raises the question: To what degree could Mr. Goenka's technique be more specifically aligned to the suttas, and is this lack of specific alignment something that has the potential to create obstacles for those of use who employ the technique? Or am I overthinking this?retrofuturist wrote:I too have done a 10-day Goenka course (May 2007, I think) and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, even if my practice now is more specifically aligned to the suttas than it is to Mr. Goenka's technique.
I'd also be interested in the impressions of venerables here, if they feel it is appropriate to comment.

Television's latest animated superhero sports a purple skirt and cape, pink gloves and white go-go boots.
She is also a he.
Meet SheZow, the star of a cartoon debuting Saturday on the Hub, a kids' cable channel co-owned by cable programming giant Discovery Communications and toy manufacturer Hasbro Inc.
In "SheZow," a 12-year-old boy — named Guy — uses a magic ring to transform himself into a legendary crime fighter. When evil lurks, Guy says, "You go girl!" and becomes SheZow.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
"When I first heard about the show, my reaction was 'Are you out of your minds?'" said Margaret Loesch, chief executive of the Hub. "Then I looked at it and I thought, 'This is just funny.'"
The Hub is hoping some of SheZow's magic powers rub off on it so it can better battle the giants of children's television: Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network.
Launched in October 2010, the Hub has barely registered a blip in the highly competitive kids' TV marketplace. It has a few minor successes including "My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic" and "Transformers," but overall its ratings are tiny. Among kids 2 to 11, the Hub's primary target, it averages 56,000 viewers a day, according to Nielsen. Disney and Nickelodeon each average 934,000 kids in that group.
"Obviously they have not grown as fast as we'd hoped," said Darcy Bowe, a media director at Starcom, an advertising firm whose clients include kid-friendly brands like Kellogg Co., Kraft Foods Group Inc. and Crayola. "They have a long way to go."
Executives counter that although the ratings are small, they are on the rise. Its ratings among kids 2 to 11 is up 45% from last year and 75% from launch. The Hub is even within striking distance of Nicktoons, which averages 80,000 kids 2 to 11.
"We're making a lot of progress," said Discovery Communications Chief Executive David Zaslav. "Launching a cable channel in America is never a sprint."

Speaking from her toy- and memorabilia-filled Burbank office, the well-regarded Loesch, who headed Fox's kids' programming unit during its "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and "X-Men" heyday, acknowledged that the Hub is not where she wants it to be.
"It is harder than I ever envisioned to rise above all the competition," she said. "Kids have access to so much content from so many sources."
Another problem for all networks targeting kids is a decline in spending by advertisers. According to Nielsen, advertisers spent just under $900 million in 2012 on kids' TV, a dip of almost 25% from 2010.
Advertising has dropped in large part because kids' networks, concerned about being accused of aiding and abetting childhood obesity, have become much more restrictive about accepting food-related commercials.
To make up for those dollars, the Hub has started running family fare and movies such as "Ice Age" at night, which has broadened its audience and brought advertising aimed at families, such as vacation spots and cars.
But the Hub also faces its own unique advertising challenge. The Hasbro co-ownership keeps some big toy advertisers, including giants Mattel and Lego, from buying commercials on the network.
"There is a lot of sensitivity with toy manufacturers supporting a network that is half-owned by Hasbro," Bowe said.
Loesch countered that the Hub has more than 250 advertisers and only a couple of holdouts.
Rival toy companies aren't the only ones leery of the Hub because of Hasbro. Several former Hub and Hasbro executives, who declined to speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the matter, charge that shows that performed well for the Hub but weren't in line with Hasbro's toy sales objectives have been canceled or had their episode orders reduced.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
Those shows include the cartoon "G.I. Joe Renegades" and "Family Game Night," a program in which kids and parents play life-sized versions of Hasbro games. The former was canceled because Hasbro did not have a doll that went with the show on the shelves of stores, these people said. The latter had its episode order cut when board games became less of a Hasbro priority.
Hasbro President and Chief Executive Brian Goldner denied those assertions, saying programming decisions are "up to Margaret and the team." Loesch said those moves were made for "business and budget considerations" and not because of pressure from Hasbro.
"They do not tell us how to run the business," Loesch said. "They of course share with me which of the properties they think would tie in best with their strategy, which is a win-win for us."
Another source of tension between Hasbro and the Hub has been the network's website, initially controlled by Hasbro. There were immediate concerns that the programming was getting the short shrift in favor of Hasbro products. After much debate, Hasbro relented and turned over control of the site to the Hub.
"We felt and they ultimately agreed that we need to make the site more about marketing and public relations support for the Hub," Loesch said.
Hasbro's watchful eye is not surprising given how much it has at stake. The toy company shelled out $300 million for 50% of the channel and has pumped an additional $150 million to $200 million into beefing up its Hasbro Studios, which supplies much of the Hub's programming.
Last year, Hasbro's loss on the Hub narrowed to $6 million, from $7.3 million in 2011. Goldner indicated he's pleased with the channel and pointed to the merchandising success of "My Little Pony" as proof of synergy between Hasbro and the Hub.
"We believe the value of the Hub has grown, we are absolutely on track and have very positive momentum," Goldner said, adding that he had anticipated it taking up to five years for the Hub to be competitive and that it doesn't need to be in first place to be a winner.
"We always said we didn't have to be No. 1 to be successful," Goldner said.
Not all analysts are convinced that getting into the TV business was a smart move for Hasbro.
"The real concern is, are they trying to run a business they don't know how to run," said Jaime Katz, an analyst at Morningstar. "I'm on the fence with it."
Loesch points to the 14 Emmy nominations it recently received and its ratings growth as proof that the Hub is building momentum. "We just keep chugging," she said.
And who knows, maybe if "SheZow" is a hit, Hasbro can start merchandising her white go-go boots, and her ring.
"We'll see, won't we?" Loesch said.

Beck: If Black Liberation Theology were true, "then Jesus would have ... made the Jews pay for what they did"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the July 13 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:
Loading the player reg...
BECK: Poverty, according to theology, this Liberation Theology, is because the poor are only poor because they are victims of the oppressor. James Cone is credited with starting Liberation Theology and the same Liberation Theology that is behind Reverend Wright's church.
JAMES CONE, THEOLOGIAN [video clip]: Any group that has institutional power, they are violent. Therefore the mainline denominations in this country have been violent against black people. The crucifixion of Jesus was a First Century lynching. America has a tradition of lynching in which America lynched more than 5,000 black people in this land. The Christian church said very little about it. It was very violent, lynching.
So if we understand the cross correctly, we will see it as Jesus being a victim of lynching, a victim of violence. So at the heart of the Christian faith is God taking upon God's self the suffering of the victim. When you see a lynched black body, that's who God is.
BECK: There is a lot there. This is kind of complex. Because Jesus did identify with the victims, but Jesus was not a victim. He was a conqueror. The death of Jesus Christ is a moment of victory, as is the resurrection. See, this is the main difference here, victims as opposed to messiahs, conquerors. Victims were conquerors. Jesus conquered death. He wasn't victimized. He chose to give his life. He did have a choice.
If he was a victim, and this theology was true, then Jesus would have come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did. That's an abomination.

I was also told how the foster home from the rescue used to give her treats when she acted like that around new people. (Which, of course, is what you should do in this case)
mnp13 wrote:It wasn't an "evaluation" I was at someone's house meeting their dog for the first time. It was not intended to be an evaluation, and didn't actually turn into one - except I was asked "what I thought"
Why do I think it's fearful? Because I've worked with many confident dogs, even aggressive confident dogs don't run around your back and bite or nip repeatedly, especially a passive non-reactive person who was invited into the house. According to her owner she also "usually hides behind her when she people approach them outside the house."
As for why the kids were there in the first place - they all live in the house with the dog and interact with her during the course of their daily lives.
