WASHINGTON One month after undergoing a partial hysterectomy in 2011 to remove a rare form of ovarian cancer, Erika Neal of St. Louis, got a double dose of more bad news: Her salary as deputy director of a nonprofit museum was being cut, and her job-based health coverage was being eliminated.
Without insurance, she went more than a year without tests that would tell her whether the cancer had reappeared. Neal continued to work, however, and now relies on an emergency state program to pay for the quarterly tests.
But when the program ends in December, she wont be able to afford the diagnostic tests because her salary has been cut by 75 percent since 2009. As an adult with no children, shes also ineligible for Medicaid, the state-federal health plan for the poor and disabled.
With no options for coverage, Neal rightly fears for her life next year.
Im always praying, but in 2014, my prayers will be ever more fervent, she said. If the cancer comes back and its not detected, itll kill me. Most ovarian cancers, by the time you find out you have it, you just need to plan your funeral. So its a blessing they have a test for it, but I cant get the tests if I dont have health insurance.
Neal could rest easier if she lived in one of the 23 states where Medicaid eligibility is being expanded for low-income parents and childless adults next year under the Affordable Care Act. Michigan appears close to expanding Medicaid eligibility.
But Missouri and 20 other Republican-led states arent participating in the health care laws Medicaid expansion, fearing the cost would require state budget cuts in other areas.
The remaining states, including Idaho, are still debating the expansion. The Idaho Legislature is expected to consider expansion next year.
That leaves Neal and 5.5 million others in those 21 states to fend for themselves in the coverage gap, a bureaucratic twilight zone where people with poverty-level incomes dont qualify for Medicaid and cant get tax credits to help buy coverage on the new insurance marketplaces called exchanges. Enrollment for them begins in October and they open in January.

With limited access to preventative care, many in the coverage gap with manageable chronic illnesses could end up seeking primary care services in hospital emergency rooms, where medical aid is costly and fleeting.
If they fail to get an insurance card and dont have ongoing adequate coverage, thats how theyre going to continue to get care, in the most expensive, least efficient, least helpful way that they can, said Ellen Kugler, executive director of the National Association of Urban Hospitals.
Gerald Friedman, a health care economist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, summarized the options for those caught in the coverage gap.
Theres no way they can afford individual coverage at that income level, so theyll do what they do now, which is they go to the free care pools in the hospitals, they go to public health clinics, they borrow from friends, they go to free clinics, Friedman said, and they just get sicker and sicker.
The coverage gap is an unintended consequence of the 2012 Supreme Court decision upholding the Affordable Care Act.
The law was supposed to provide health insurance for most Americans next year by expanding Medicaid in all states to people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Thats about $15,900 for an individual in 2013, or nearly $32,500 for a family of four.
Tax credits would then go to other low- and middle-income people to help them buy coverage on the insurance marketplaces. If the Medicaid expansion was implemented in every state as originally planned, an estimated 22.3 million Americans likely would have gained coverage next year, according to the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan social and economic policy think tank.
But when the Supreme Court ruled that states could opt out of the expansion, Republican-led states took advantage. Rather than expand their Medicaid programs, most kept their programs as is open mainly to the poorest of the poor.
In 33 states, parents must now earn less than the federal poverty level $19,530 for a family of three to be eligible for Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health care research group. Eighteen of these states limit eligibility to parents in severe poverty, which is 50 percent of the federal poverty level or lower.
In Idaho, where 300,000 people lack health insurance, the Department of Health and Welfare determined that expanding Medicaid could save county property taxpayers some $478 million through 2024, because the state could replace its existing system of providing medical treatment for indigent residents with one that, at least initially, is 100 percent funded by the federal government.
But lawmakers and Gov. Butch Otter balked at tackling Medicaid expansion during the 2013 legislative session, when Republicans were sharply divided over adopting a state-based insurance exchange. The exchange passed the Senate only with Democratic support.
Before any expansion, Otter has said that he wants to revamp Idahos Medicaid program to ensure that any new recipients take more responsibility and make good health care choices.
To that end, Health and Welfare has been developing its Healthy Idaho Plan, which would require newly eligible Medicaid recipients to make co-pays to discourage abuse of services, punish those who don't adhere to rules and offer incentives for healthy living, including for quitting smoking.
The Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry says a failure to expand Medicaids reach would cost $12.3 million to $18.5 million a year in penalties for large companies that dont insure their employees and unspecified amounts for other businesses as their insurance and taxes continue to subsidize care for the uninsured.
Some Republican lawmakers worry that President Barack Obamas plan to pay for the new Medicaid enrollees could change or go by the wayside.
Neal, of Missouri, isnt buying that argument.
In 28 years, the federal government has never missed a Medicaid payment to the state of Missouri ... , Neal said.
In Georgia, state officials have said there arent enough caregivers to handle an expanded Medicaid population.
But thats a false argument, said Cindy Zeldin, executive director of Georgians for a Healthy Future, a nonprofit group that advocates for access to affordable health care. She said that concerns about the cost and provider shortages would be mitigated by the boost in jobs and spending the Medicaid expansion would create.
We are not bringing in new people from another state into Georgia, Zeldin said. Were talking about Georgians who are already here, who already have health care needs, who are already sporadically using the safety net, or hospitals seeking care only when its too late.

I’ve been interested in Ignatian Spirituality for a while and this has a more general take so far than some books I’ve read. I truly appreciated the advice from Igantius, to not make a decision to change our course while we are in a period of desolation, this has been very needed advice for me in the past weeks, and advice I was even able to impart to others without any religious overtones to help others consider and contemplate decisions instead of making them rashly.

by Flower McMillan,
Sociology Major, senior,

Dear fellow humans,
In 2008 America took a momentous step in electing Barack Obama, the first African-America president of the United States. Crowds cheered, people cried for joy. In my neighborhood people danced in the streets and lit fireworks. The media was enthralled beyond expression. America vacillated between fascination and obsession with the fresh, young, alluring president. Who was this mysterious man we had elected to lead us?
Well, four years later, most of know or have a good idea who and what is Barack Obama. Many of us can only agree to disagree on how well Obama has performed in office, or if we will vote for him again this November. But, there is a dark cloud hanging over the Mr. Obama’s presidency, or the “Barack Obama Experience” you might say. And that is this: we can only elect him twice.
Yes, the sad truth struts itself like a bully on the playground, ubiquitous in its dispiriting realism. But what if … Just what if … What if we could re-elect Barack Obama again, as in 2016?! And what if there could be a magic wand waved over the nation that could allow Barack Hussein Obama to be re-elected at least four more times?
Many may disagree with me, claiming that two terms in office is national precedence, not to mention part of the constitution; that two terms is enough for any president, and why should Barack Obama be exempt from experiencing the first two-plus-term presidency since Harry S. Roosevelt? Look, we all know why we voted for Obama: he was young, cool …and Black. So, in all honesty, what will it say about this country if we don’t keep that spirit of “ultimate affirmative action” alive and re-elect Barack Obama four more times? What will that say about America, about us as a people?
Regardless of how Obama has performed in office, should we not at least grant the first African-American president the benefit of the doubt that maybe he needs “a little extra help,” i.e. time, to complete his plans for America?
After all, we hire people now based on their race (then are too afraid to fire them based on their race), accept them into colleges based on race, too intimidated to ask for a drivers’ license or other official ID based on race, knowingly disregard them at airport security checkpoints based on race … and heck, even give people casinos based on race. In effect, America loves treating people differently based on race, one way or another.
America is a race-based nation, a race-obsessed nation. Why, never before have there been other nations that have endured racial strife, conflicts and triumphs like the United States. We’re the only nation with a history of racism, in case the rest of you haven’t heard. Hey, if my professors at Columbia University say that’s the case then it must be true. So in all fairness, as race-sensitive as Americans are today; as we try to compensate for our racist past, should we not let our first African-American president remain president for the next four … eight … twelve … sixteen years? Imagine that: 20 years of Barack Obama! How glorious! How then will America be considered a racist nation? Answer: It couldn’t be!
Obviously electing our first “post-racial” president did not do the trick in “post-racialing” America. Tea Partiers marched and protested, carrying their grotesque signs after Obama’s inauguration, and every criticism of Obama has been at least partially-based on his race (“oh, it’s not this man’s policies and statements we don’t like, it’s this BLACK man’s policies and statements we don’t like,” right?).
Is it not evident then that the only way to prove Americans aren’t racists is if we don’t re-elect Obama until 2024, allowing our first Black president to finally leave office in 2029?
Without a shred of credulity in my protein-deprived, emaciated, vegan bones, nothing tells me that we could prove ourselves racists no longer more than re-electing President Obama at least four more times. It only makes sense. We could pass a constitutional amendment forcing Obama to run again in 2016, 2020, and 2024. That’s what’s needed to cure this nation of its racism and compensate for our racist past.
There’s no way around it, America, you know this is what needs to be done. It has to be! Otherwise, we’re no better than we were in the days when President George Wallace was standing on the University of Texas bell tower, blocking African-American students from entering. We might as well be back in the Era of Russell Crow in the South, where African-Americans were forced to sit on top of planes and buses in California, and not allowed to drown in public pools in Chicago.
The choice is clear, America: either we re-elect Barack Obama not only this year but for the next sixteen, thus shedding our racism once and for all. Then, and only then, can we say we are no longer racists. This should be the ultimate goal, and the economy, unemployment, healthcare, inflation, foreign policy, personal freedoms, strength and prestige around the world strictly second … or fifth, or something, whatever.
So I will not only be voting again for Obama this year, but hopefully in 2016, 2020, and 2024, too! That is the only solution –the final solution! So twenty-two years from now, let us proclaim: Final Solution, 2024! Obama 2024! Let’s hear it, people! Who’s with me? FORWARD!

The goal of this fundraiser is to come up with the fees for the housing portion of the costs. Housing, RA fee, and deposit come to just under $1500.
Star has been pursuing dance with a rare focus and drive since she was four years old, dancing at Flor-De-Liz Dance in Tucson, Arizona. Every year she strives for new dance experiences and exposure to new companies and techniques. Over the last three years she has been gaining professional training and performance experiences with the Jefferson Dancers, a dance company based at her high school in Portland, Oregon.
This is her last summer in high school. She is very conscious of the fact that the connections she makes this year are going to help her find her place in the dance world after high school (i.e. scholarships and job opportunities).
Please help my little girl have a wonderful, educational, and professionally enriching experience this summer. She has made the best of every opportunity she's been blessed with. We are so very grateful for all the support everyone has given over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance. And also afterwards.

Today’s AMI QT Devotional is written by Joshua Chzen who serves at Kairos Christian Church, San Diego.
Devotional Thoughts for Today
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.
After a few months into my marriage, my wife pointed out a bad habit of mine that I hadn’t really paid attention to before: I love eating junk food, and I love eating it late at night. (In reality, there were quite a few more things to be pointed out.) When we moved to our new apartment, there were two Jack-in-the-Box restaurants within a mile of us. So after a long day of work or a late meeting, I didn’t think it was harmful to treat myself to something satisfying—it was my way of “loving myself,” even if a little bit indulgent. Of course, this sort of habit would be detrimental to my health, both in the short and long term, which is why my wife took issue with it in the first place.
In reality, my imperfect way of loving myself affects not only myself, but my wife as well. Paul directs husbands to love their wives as their own bodies, and he’s talking about complete selflessness in love and attitude. But even as I look at how my heart is shaped through something like indulging myself, I can see that same heart reflected in how I love and care for my wife—that is, if my desire is to grow in and prioritize holiness, then I will love and care for my wife in a way that reflects that for her. The way I “feed and care for my body” will be the same as how I “feed and care for” my wife.
This makes it all the more important to pursue a life of love in Christ. We understand how Jesus “feeds and cares for” His body, the Church: He sacrifices Himself for it, builds it up and equips it, casts out its fears and covers its weaknesses, and brings it to holiness, righteousness, and purity. As members of His body, we can personally experience this perfect love. And we understand that as Jesus calls us to love others as we love ourselves, He’s not referring to an imperfect love that’s been shaped and affected by worldly understanding or fleshly desire; rather, He’s calling on all of us to reflect that same perfect love that we experience as Christ Himself loves His Body.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for loving me and caring for me as part of Your Body. Show me how to love like You do—and if it seems unnatural, difficult, or in conflict with where I am, I pray that You would reorient my heart back to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The storm-related travel chaos that brought the Midwest to a standstill on Thursday began to ease Friday, though Winter Storm “Draco” developed a second storm center over the East Coast that could cause even more flight delays through the holiday weekend.
Flight-tracking website Flightaware reported 381 cancellations in the U.S. Friday morning. That number will likely rise through the day, but it should be below the 1,154 flights axed Thursday when Chicago O’Hare and Chicago Midway alone saw nearly 600 arrivals and departures cancelled. Other hard-hit airports included Kansas City, Detroit Metro Wayne and Minneapolis-St Paul.
Draco, which has been blamed for at least six deaths in five states, barreled east Friday, carrying heavy rains and high winds to the nation’s busiest region: the Northeast Corridor. Though cities from Washington to Boston will not receive any snow from the storm, a combination of low clouds, rain and wind gusting up to 60 mph could cause significant delays at airports through Sunday.
“Snow will generally be winding down across northern New England on Saturday as the storm departs; however, other travel problems will linger,” noted AccuWeather meteorologist Meghan Evans. “Brisk winds will continue in the Northeast on Sunday, particularly across New England.”
The National Weather Service has issued high-wind and flood warnings for parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. New York-area airports Newark and LaGuardia each reported that about three-dozen departures were cancelled Friday morning due to strong winds, causing a ripple effect of delays across the nation.
US Airways, American Airlines, Delta Air Ways, United Airlines, JetBlue, Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines have all enacted flexible rebooking policies for those flying into or out of airports affected by the storm. Though the policies vary by carrier, all are good for alterations through at least Friday evening.
AAA projects that 93 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more during the year-end holidays. With 90 percent of those (or about 84.4 million) traveling by car, Draco has caused numerous delays. The winter storm shut down several major highways across the Great Plains and Midwest Thursday and caused upwards of 1,000 accidents, including a 25-car pileup in Des Moines. Whiteout conditions made for dangerous driving from Western Ohio up through Buffalo and Rochester in Upstate New York Friday. Portions of I-90 are expected to come to a standstill by the afternoon amid heavy, lake-effect snow bands.
As always, anyone traveling by air is encouraged to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport, while those traveling by car should monitor the progress of Winter Storm Draco and check with local authorities to stay up to date on road conditions.

QUINCY, Mass.- The Eastern Nazarene College men's volleyball team rolled past Mount Ida 3-0 Thursday evening at the Lahue Physical Education Center.
The Lions improve to 3-6 on the year with the victory while the Mustangs fall to 6-6 overall.
Kenny Sorensen (Quincy, Mass.) racked up a season-high 20 kills and added nine digs on the night. Andrew Jayne (Quincy, Mass.) finished with six kills and six digs. Matthew Tyree (Lansdale, Pa.) dished out 37 assists and posted five blocks while Tim Eddings (Endicott, N.Y.) also notched five blocks in the match.
In a tight opening set, the home side fought off a set point for the visitors at 24-23 to pull even at 24-24. James Garofalo (Commack, N.Y.) came off the bench to serve up the final two points of the frame as Eastern Nazarene edged Mount Ida 26-24 to grab a 1-0 lead.
The Lions prevailed 25-23 in a closely-contested second set to widen the gap to 2-0.
The hosts cruised to a 25-16 decision in the third to snap a five-match skid.
Brett Southworth paced the Mustangs with 13 kills and 11 digs on the evening while Kevin Keohane chipped in with 28 assists and five digs.
Up next, Eastern Nazarene will host Pine Manor and Regis in a non-conference tri-match February 17.

Unless your dog has a bleeding disorder (and you probably already know that), the nail will stop bleeding on its own. Any of these simple solutions will help stop nail bleeding. You can try them individually dry or make a paste out of them to make it easier to apply. Just add a few drops of water and you'll have a homemade astringent paste.
The task seems simple enough, especially with the wide range of nail clippers available today, but the procedure can go very wrong with a misplaced cut, leaving the dog scared and reluctant to allow you to get close to his feet again. It seems that your puppy was not carried away by the experience, but if he seems wary of cutting his nails in the future, be sure to combine holding the paw, holding the trimmer and then trimming his nails with positive things such as treats, toys or attention. In my experience, some dogs don't react at all when the fast one is cut off, and other dogs may walk away or give a little scream. Keep in mind that, while it is true that a Dremel cauterizes when it shortens the nails (so there is no blood), the dog will continue to feel pain if its nail is “too short”.
Nails that are cut too short rarely get infected, but there may be something else going on that started when the nail was cut. It might even be a good idea to have your nails cut for a few months, until the length of your nails is more manageable. I was so scared for my dog that I couldn't be home when the hairdresser arrived, but apparently it caused one of the nails to bleed a little, not for long. To prevent your dog from licking his foot once the bleeding has stopped, consider wrapping him up for a few hours, putting a sock over his foot (assuming your dog doesn't try to chew or swallow the sock), or distracting him with attention, toys or treats (as long as he doesn't get too excited).
You should always have astringent powder available and nearby to trim your nails in case your dog's nail starts to bleed. Hopefully, by cutting his nails repeatedly, your dog will begin to learn that he has nothing to fear. If your dog has transparent and other black nails, use an average transparent nail as a guide to cut the black ones. Fortunately, most of the time dogs don't try to lick their nails and rarely get infections from a toenail cut that's too short, but I understand that you want to be careful.
If you use nail clippers for dogs that crush your nails, have a safety guard (a “guide” that gives you a false sense of security), or don't give you enough control when trimming, I understand how frustrating it can be. However, as an integrative veterinarian with more than 20 years of experience (including teaching countless dog owners how to cut dogs' nails), I can assure you that you can avoid future setbacks by cutting your dog's nails and re-trimming your dog's nails with confidence.

I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks of the man she loves even when she’s not with me. I don’t think I’m the only one wondering what she’s doing at the moment, wondering where she ended up and how long she has until she walks in the door. In those moments I simply ask him to talk. I’m not assuming he’s at point X or Y, I’m not assuming he did this or that thing.
I think most people make their scenarios, they constantly wonder what will be later, what their life will look like tomorrow. I think we always assume that things should happen in a certain way, I think we assume that the person next to us must have certain reactions in difficult situations. The truth is that the bill at home rarely matches the bill at the fair and we often end up disappointed with the course of events.
Many times we assume that a person is in one way or another, better or less good according to the words we hear about him, often we assume that a man loves or respects us only if he does certain things … and we end up disappointed if not everything goes as planned.
The idea is that no man can read our thoughts, no matter how well he knows us … but we claim that this will happen … it is difficult for us to talk, to ask, to share our ideas. No one but ourselves and God knows what we have in mind. And most of the time those thoughts are directed at someone who has a certain influence on our life and there are times when he / she does not think the same way.
Well, just tell him! Tell him / her what you want from him / her and always pretend to be honest. Communicate! Tell him what you like and what bothers you. Otherwise how will he know what to change. By telling a man what you have in mind, you will see if he really cares about you or not, you will understand how the situation really is. This way you will find out about everything, whether you want that man next to you or not.
Don’t make plans based on assumptions about what the ideal person should look like! You may discover the perfect man for you in someone you have never considered, who you can truly love and who can love you differently than you would see the ideal, better!

18 Apr How does an epidural steroid injection work?
Since 1952, physicians have used epidural steroid injections to relieve the symptoms of pain rooted in the spinal serves. This non-surgical intervention is chosen after previous interventions with more conservative management options have failed.
Epidural steroid injections are particularly effective in relieving the symptoms from conditions that cause inflammation and pain of the spinal nerves such as disc herniations, and serve a dual diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. While the goal of epidural steroid injections is primarily pain relief, they are also used as part of a comprehensive physical therapy and rehabilitation program.
The epidural space refers to the anatomic space on the outermost part of the spinal canal, outside the dura mater. The dura mater is the tough, fibrous material that serves as the covering of the spinal cord, the arachnoid matter, the subarachnoid space, the cerebrospinal fluid, etc. This extradural space contains many important structures such as the spinal nerve roots, fatty tissues, blood vessels, such as small arteries and the epidural venous plexus, and some lymphatics.
The technique involves direct injection of steroids into the epidural space. The most commonly used steroids are dexamethasone, methylprednisone, and other corticosteroids. These are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that provide relief of symptoms by suppressing the inflammatory response, which relieves the irritation and swelling near the nerve root.
The steroids work by relieving the mechanical and chemical sources of pain. The injection of epidural steroids by a Chicago pain management doctor is usually accompanied by local anesthetics, which affords relief from pain that usually lasts anywhere from one week to a whole year. This makes it very useful in dealing with severe, acute attacks of pain. If this provides adequate pain relief, then you may receive up to three or four series in a one year period.
The procedure is done under a local anesthetic, although a mild sedative can be given to relax the patient. Prior to the procedure, the procedure site is scrubbed with a sterilizing solution such as povidone-iodine or chlorhexidine. Sterile linen is placed around the area.
The procedure begins upon the insertion of the needle into the injection site. This is usually done under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance, although other guidance techniques can also be used. The three most commonly used approaches are the caudal, transforaminal and laminar approach.
The caudal approach inserts the needle from the area near the sacrum (tailbone), and has
been reported to give up to 75% of patients relief of symptoms.
The transforaminal approach injects the steroid into the opening of the spine (foramen) of the spinal canal, and is preferred because of shorted operating time and lower radiation exposure.
The interlaminar approach is chosen when the other techniques cannot be used, and has been shown to provide comparable outcomes in relief of pain and other symptoms.
As with any invasive procedure, epidural steroid injections are not without risks. While the outcomes are generally positive, there is a risk of infection at the surgical site, intraoperative damage to the muscles, nerves and surrounding tissues, as well as the risk of bleeding and hematoma formation.
Premier Pain & Spine in Chicago has seven locations providing top notch medical and interventional pain management. The Chicago pain management doctors are Double Board Certified and experts in all three types of epidural steroid injections. Success rates are very impressive and most patients are able to avoid surgery as well.
Most insurance is accepted at the Chicago pain clinics, call Premier Pain & Spine today at (847) 519 4701 to schedule with a location close to you!

What is the normal blood sugar level of a person with type 1 diabetes?
- Q: What is the normal blood sugar level of a person with type 1 diabetes?
- A: Your health care provider should recommend ranges that you should aim to keep your blood sugar level at. Recommendations will vary depending if you are testing during a fasting or a non-fasting state. General recommendations according to the National Institutes of Health that cite the American Diabetes Association are that blood sugar levels should be kept in the range of 80-120 mg/dl before meals and 100-140 mg/dl at bedtime. As always, ask your healthcare provider for specific recommendations for your goal levels for blood sugar levels based on your individual health needs. Jen Marsico, RPh

With most investors' eyes glued to equities and corporate bonds, and to a much greater extent, US Treasurys, many are ignoring the storm clouds gathering over the traditionally much more boring, income oriented municipal bond market. A recent research piece by welling@weeden covers most of the question marks vis-a-vis the muni market, although with proclamations such as "the municipal market will probably repeat the pattern of the sub-prime collapse. Although it is plain to see, the usual experts do not notice. This was true of all of our recent financial bubbles, including subprime mortgages" the paper's message may not be too welcome to the $3 trillion+ muni market. For all readers who enjoyed Sprott's recent outlook on the inevitable US debt repudiation, this is a must read report.

The GMC Sierra boasts three brake lights, including two on either side and the other in the center. Typically, the third brake light offers an extra signal to absent-minded drivers. However, like the rest of the lights, the GMC Sierra’s third brake light may suddenly stop working.
But what causes your GMC Sierra third brake light not working? It can be due to a blown fuse or a short circuit. Sometimes, it can be a burned-out bulb caused by moisture in the housing assembly. Other causes include a defective brake light switch and poor ground wire.
So, how do you fix problems with the Sierra’s third brake light? In this guide, you can find all the answers to your questions.
Causes and Solutions for GMC Sierra Third Brake Light Not Working Table
In a hurry? Here is a quick overview of the causes of Sierra third brake light illuminating and the possible solutions.
|Short Circuit||Splice back together the shorted wire or replace wire entirely.|
|Blown Fuse||Install a new fuse.|
|Burned Out Bulb||Replace the bulb or the entire third brake light assembly housing.|
|Faulty Brake Light Switch||Install a new switch.|
|Bad Electrical Ground||Tighten any loose connection and clean the corroded ground wire.|
Causes of GMC Sierra Third Brake Light Not Working with Solutions
Sometimes, your GMC Sierra center high mount stop light or third brake light may stop working out of nowhere. The causes of this include the following:
1. Short Circuit
A short circuit in the electrical wires is one of the reasons the third brake light on your GMC Sierra may stop working. Sometimes, it could just be one burnt wire. You can tell if there is a short in the circuit if you replace the fuse and it blows again.
So, in other words, a short circuit generally causes the fuse to blow. And this leads to the center high-mount stop light not working on your Sierra. Alternatively, you can use a digital multimeter to test a short circuit. And if you get a high current reading, you have shorted wire.
- To fix a short circuit, open the third brake light housing assembly.
- Then, use electrical tape to locate the shorted wire and splice it back together.
- If this does not work, replace the entire wire and reinstall the fuse.
- Next, test the circuit for resistance with a multimeter. If you get a reading of 1 or OL, there is a short circuit in the electrical circuit.
2. Blown Fuse
If all the brake lights are not working, the probable cause of the third brake light not working could be a blown fuse. The fuse can blow due to corrosion in the wiring or a short circuit caused by water.
Generally, the 10-amp fuse under the hood is the one notorious for blowing and causing the third brake lamp to stop working.
Set your multimeter on the ohmmeter setting to check if the fuse is blown. Then, place the multimeter’s positive and negative probes across each fuse’s end. If the reading is “OL”, the fuse is bad. Alternatively, you can visually inspect the fuse for signs of physical damage like broken or melted wire.
With a blown fuse, the only solution is to replace it. Here is how to complete the replacement:
Step 1: Prop open your GMC Sierra’s hood.
Step 2: Find the engine fuse box on the driver side of your Sierra and remove the cover.
Step 3: Locate and remove the blown fuse from the fuse box.
Step 4: Install the new fuse and secure the fuse box cover. The new fuse should be of the same amperage as the old one.
3. Burned Out Bulb
A bulb powers the third brake light. These brake light bulbs typically last up to 4 years or 40,000 miles. However, sometimes the bulb may blow up when you least expect it. This happens when your Sierra third brake light assembly has cracks, allowing water to sip inside.
The best solution is to replace the burnt-out bulb. However, if the brake light assembly has moisture, you must replace it to prevent the bulb from blowing up again. Here is how to go about it:
Step 1: Get a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the 2 screws securing the third brake light housing assembly.
Step 2: Wiggle the connector to disconnect the wiring harness from the brake light.
Step 3: Disconnect the connections to the light bulb from the housing assembly. Then, twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove it from the socket.
Step 4: Next, install the new bulb into the socket and the housing assembly. Then, reconnect the connections to the bulb and wiring harness.
Step 5: If the light assembly is cracked, skip steps 3 and 4 and install the new assembly.
If you are replacing the entire housing assembly of your third brake light, you can watch this video for a detailed illustration:
4. Faulty Brake Light Switch
The right and left brake lights of the GMC Sierra are wired through the same brake switch as the third brake light. Therefore, if all the 3 brake lights are not working, the switch is faulty. This is because the switch tells the brake lights to turn on when you press the pedal.
Generally, an electric issue or problem with the brake light circuit can cause a faulty brake light switch.
First, use a multimeter to test the brake light switch to confirm it is faulty. Simply set the multimeter to “Ohm meter”. Then, hook the two probe leads to the brake light switch terminals and check the reading. If you get a 1 or OL reading, the switch is faulty, and you must replace it.
Here is how the replacement is done:
Step 1: Locate the brake light switch near the top of the pedal arm just under the dashboard.
Step 2: Unplug the wiring harness from the brake switch.
Step 3: Use a 10mm ratchet or wrench to unfasten the bracket securing the switch.
Step 4: Get a flathead screwdriver and pop off the clip of the brake switch.
Step 5: Pull out the brake light switch and install the new one in reverse order.
5. Bad Electrical Ground
If the brake light switch is working, but the center high mount stop bulb is not, the ground wire could be bad. To confirm this, inspect the electrical ground to which the 3rd brake light is connected for corrosion or loose connection.
For a loose connection, you simply retighten the ground wire. However, if the ground wire is corroded, you must clean it, and here is how to do it.
Step 1: Remove the third brake light housing assembly.
Step 2: Locate the ground wire for the center brake light and disconnect it from the connector. It should be black in color.
Step 3: Clean the connectors, frame, and ground wire using sandpaper or wire brush.
Step 4: Attach the ground wire to the connector and ensure it is tightly fastened.
Step 5: Reinstall the third brake lamp assembly and test the light.When dealing with brake light malfunctions in your GMC Sierra, it’s worthwhile to be aware of similar problems in other vehicles. The Jeep Gladiator’s 3rd brake light not working is a scenario that has left many drivers searching for answers. Additionally, the Chevrolet Silverado, another popular truck, has had its share of issues with the Silverado 3rd brake light malfunctioning. Exploring these topics will arm you with a broader understanding of brake light concerns across different vehicle models.
In this section, we will briefly respond to frequently asked questions about the center high mount stop light not working.
Yes. Police can pull you over if the light is not working, as this is considered a safety issue. However, usually, you will only get a ‘fix it’ notice, which does not attract fines or penalties.
Yes, if you are comfortable with the basic automotive wiring. This is because more fixes involve disconnecting the entire third brake light assembly. However, we recommend consulting a skilled mechanic if you are uncertain of anything or if the problem persists.
This entirely depends on your skill level when it comes to fixing cars. The good news is that the procedure isn’t complex. Therefore, the entire repair job could take 40 minutes to an hour.
The third brake light of your GMC Sierra is just as important as the rest of the brake lights. Therefore, if it is not working due to a shorted wire, burned bulb, or blown fuse, you should have it fixed immediately. If not, you could get in trouble with the law enforcement officers.
But don’t fret because fixing a faulty center brake light is an easy task if you have basic mechanic skills. In most cases, you just need to replace the defective component, such as the bulb, fuse, or brake light switch.

RESPONDENT: Patrick McL. Dougall et al.
LOCATION: New York City Human Resources Administration
DOCKET NO.: 71-1222
DECIDED BY: Burger Court (1972-1975)
CITATION: 413 US 634 (1973)
ARGUED: Jan 08, 1973
DECIDED: Jun 25, 1973
Lester Evens - argued the cause for the appellees
Samuel A. Hirshowitz - First Assistant Attorney General of New York, argued the cause for the appellants
Samuel A. Hirshowitz - for appellants
Facts of the case
Patrick Dougall was a federally registered resident alien. He was employed by a nonprofit organization that was absorbed into the Manpower Career and Development Agency (MCDA) of New York City's Human Resources Administration. He was ineligible for employment by the city under Section 53 of the New York Civil Service Law because he was a noncitizen. He was terminated for this reason alone. Dougall and other noncitizens who were terminated under Section 53 challenged the statute in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which held the statute unconstitutional. New York appealed the decision.
Did Section 53 of the New York Civil Service Law violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?
Media for Sugarman v. Dougall
Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - January 08, 1973 in Sugarman v. Dougall
Warren E. Burger:
We’ll hear arguments next in 71-1222, Sugarman against Mc Dougall.
Mr. Hirshowitz, you may proceed.
Samuel A. Hirshowitz:
Mr. Chief Justice, may it please the Court.
This case involves the question of validity of a Section of the New York State Civil Service Law the -- which the -- a three-judge District Court held invalid.
The particular language that the Court dealt with is found on page 91 of the record in a footnote, “Except as herein otherwise provided, no person shall be eligible for appointment for any position in the competitive class unless he is a citizen of the United States.”
There is a second subdivision which doesn’t appear in the record but which is discussed in the opinion which provides that where the appointing authority cannot find any person to fill a position, he may apply to the Local Civil Service Commission or to the State Civil Service Commission and if they are satisfied that there is no one available for that position they may certify this appointment which last only for the -- to the end of the year and cannot be continued unless this appointee has taken steps to become a citizen by filing a declaration of intention.
The particular appellees here were appointed by the City of New York as provisional appointees.
That means they never took any examination.
As provisionals they were entitled to hold their position at the discretion of the appointing authority for a period of which is generally regarded as nine months provided that there was no eligible list, and in this case the answer of the City of New York shows that there was an eligible list established but in this case, the appellees would terminate it not because of the existence of the eligible list but because of the existence of this statute the City of New York found that they were not citizens.
The Civil Service System in New York as this Court knows is based on the merit system and the competitive class which is established after examination and qualifications.
One who is appointed after examination obtains rights of tenure, seniority and promotional preferences together with pension benefits.
The appellees have been residents according to their affidavits have been residents in the City of New York for varying years.
Some six years, some ten years and none of them have taken even the first step to obtain citizenship.
The first appellee, Mc Dougall for instance was a resident to the City of New York since 1964 and never took any steps to become a citizen.
None of the appellees, because of a question of preemption which will be discussed, none of the appellees were ever certified by United States Secretary of Labor for the position he or she was filling.
As a matter of fact, Mc Dougall was the only one that took an examination.
And let me point out that prior to 1968, the statute which I read provided that nobody could take an examination for our position but that was altered and amended to provide that no one could be appointed.
The difference being that one who is an alien could take the examination and the meantime take steps to become a citizen as the usual process that takes from six months to a year before the examinations are marked and a list established, and the list one established is usually good for varying period of three to five years.
The District Court in this case sustained the appellee’s challenge on both Equal Protection and Supremacy Clause grounds relying principally on a case decided by this Court, Graham against Richardson which we are sure was misapplied.
The Graham case has spawned a flock of litigation in various federal courts throughout the land.
According to our computation, there are seven cases in various federal courts and various stages of litigation raising questions as to the validity of discrimination against aliens.
Let me also point out that the Federal Government has a quibbling practice which is as a result of authority given to this Civil Service Commission to establish the conditions of employment and by Executive Order aliens have been barred from United States employment except the same way as New York does.
Certification where there's no available employee.
The -- in addition to that, Congress in the annual appropriation bills has specifically provided that no payment of compensation can be made to an employee if he is not a citizen of the United States.
That is an employee on American soil.
A copy of the federal provision, we have attached to our brief as exhibit 1.
And in this Court here, the appellees have persisted in the claim at the right to travel of the aliens as being interfered with as if they ever posses such right which is important in part in this case and they have apparently, as we read their briefs, argued that the statute is overbroad which was not a contention what was made below.
In the sense that the lower grade of employees should not be barred by this statutory provision but the higher grade employees may be barred.
The first question that suggests itself is whether there is any equation of equal protection available to the appellees whether the court was right in considering equal protection at all.
We suggest that his very precedent and principle required this Court to hold that the States have not been by divested of the power to limits its public employees as citizens.

Geoffrey Chaucer was born in London in 1340 (Fuller 12). Geoffrey Chaucer's fortunes were closely bound with these of John Of Gaunt, the son-in-law to the Earl of Derby (Fuller 12). Around the year 1380, Geoffrey Chaucer was charged with rape by a woman named Cecily Chaumpaigne (Williams 28). It is most likely that a distinguishable character, such as Chaucer would not have been guilty of this charge. However, the word "rape" probably referred to abducting rather than assaulting a woman as it means today (Halliday 68). Cecily Chaumpaigne in 1380 released Chaucer of all charges of "raptu meo," a phrase that could be interpreted as "seizing me" (Williams 28). It is possible that this allegation of rape brought on to Chaucer by Cecily Chaumpaigne, is the very reason behind the Tale of the Wife of Bath.
The Wife of Bath was a plump, florid, jolly, bold, lusty, and voluptuous woman. She was the most valuable of women. The wife of bath cannot resist telling her companions about all of her sexual experiences. She has had five husbands. Her husbands fell into two categories. The first category of husbands was: rich, but also old and unable to fulfill her demands, sexually that is. The other husbands were sexually vigorous, but harder to control. The first three were rich, old, and jealous. She tamed them by accusing them of promiscuous behavior, that she herself practiced. Her fourth husband had a mistress, so she "gave him a real cause for jealousy" (Halliday 119). At the funeral of her first husband she fell in love with the legs of an Oxford clerk. Although he was half her age, he became her fifth husband. This marriage was unhappy because he beat her. To anger her fifth husband, the wife of Bath tore three pages from his book. After this he beat her again. She pretended to be dead and he felt so guilty that he threw his whole book in the fire. This gave her the upper hand for the rest of his life. She presently is looking for a sixth husband when her character is introduced (Halliday 119).
The tale The Wife of Bath tells us all is about a Knight who ultimately rapes a maiden and is sent by the queen on a quest to seek out what it is that women want most.

- According to the Department of Justice National Crime survey, every 2 minutes someone is raped or sexually assaulted in the U.S. Just March 16, 2013, two high school football players were convicted of rape. One offender asserted” I just needed some sexual attention,” and the girl was too drunk to answer, but did this give them permission to have sex with the girl without her permission. Emphatically no, even though the offender will say the victim gave them a reason under no circumstances does anyone deserves to be assaulted.... [tags: Rape, Sexual intercourse, Sexual assault]

- When Medea finds herself left by her husband alone in a foreign city, she takes matters into her own hands as she plans her revenge on her disloyal husband. In her opinion, the Greek community sees little to no value in a divorced woman and thus she has no means by which she can mitigate for her ill fate. Because Medea feels that she, as a woman in a deeply patriarchal Greek society, has virtually no power to prevent the wrongs done unto her, Medea asserts that the domestic life of a wife is far more destructive and dangerous than a life of war....

- Mixed Feminine Message in Wife of Bath's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer In the Wife of Bath’s Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, various women, such as the Queen and the old hag, stake their claim to authority over men. Yet, they do so in a very covert manner. The knight has clearly abused his male power. He is a rapist. With the help of women, however, he is rehabilitated and seems to achieve the ultimate happiness. When these women support the feminist viewpoint that women should have mastery over their husbands, they are also echoing the sentiments the Wife of Bath presents in her prologue....

There is a certain stigma that surrounds rape and that is the main source of the problem.

- The Wife Of Bath’s Tale is a magnificent story, that relates and under covers what every women wants, and what every man dreads. This tale is very unique concerning how rebellious it was to the views of the time period it was written in and even in the values that are set in stone today. Chaucer did an excellent job of expressing his outward views towards the subject of how women should be treated. The story starts off with a Knight who has just been convicted on the crimes of rape on a young lady, he is condemned to death by hanging, until the queen chirps up and makes a deal with him, if he can come back in one year and a day and tell her what every women wants then he will be hanged....

- Essays on Rape Only Words, by Catharine MacKinnon is a collection of three essays; each essay argues her claim that sexual words and pictures should be banned instead of Constitutionally protected under the First Amendment as free speech. In her first essay, “Defamation and Discrimination,” MacKinnon takes the stance that pornography is sex, and should not be treated as speech, but as a sexist act. She claims that pornography is an action, just as, “a sign saying ‘White Only’ is only words, but … it is seen as the act of segregation that it is.”(MacKinnon 13) MacKinnon claims that other action words, such as death threats, are banned, pornography should be banned as well....

- Free will is a right given to us when we are born as human beings. However, depending on different circumstances that right can be easily taken away based on where you live, or the actions that one can do to them. In A Clockwork Orange, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the characters throughout both novels and films have controlled free will because of different circumstances. There are various definitions of free will.

- Women in Paleolithic Period Women have come along way when it comes to equality. Women in the Paleolithic societies had the same skill set as men but often had dissimilar occupations. Women were often food gathers which was about seventy percent of their diets, whereas, men were often hunters which was about thirty percent of their diets. Women helped keep the family alive when men could not bring home meat. It would appear that women’s virginity was obscure, thus, leading to rape, wife beating, and sexual double standards....

The women of the middle ages tended to be anonymous (Evans 330). They were not soft nor sheltered, but mere property. They were at the disposal of their parents and later on husbands. They had no say in fighting, administrating, justice, or learning. These duties were taken care of by the men to take care of (Evans 330). Even though women played no role in society other than child bearing, they fell in love, became married, became divorced, and coped with problems the same as we do in the present day (Evans 3330).
The wife's tale is one of struggle of power and who has the upper hand in any relationship. The wife clearly in her relationships enjoyed having the power and control of her husbands. The knight did seek what women desire most, and that is power. When someone has power over someone else than they also have control.

Guppy becoming anti-social?
So, I've had this one guppy fry, who has been alone for his whole life. For whatever reason he was the only guppy fry to be born/survive for 1 or 2 months, at which point I moved him into his own 2.5 gallon with a heater and filter. He was in that tank alone for 2 months and has always seemed happy.
So, one of my other guppies is finally big enough to go into the tank (it's going to be a male only tank, so far he is the only one developed enough to tell the gender) and he seems happy, but the other one isn't. His fins seem slightly cramped, and he keeps chasing the other one around. Is this just typical male aggression/territorial behavior? Or has he decided he rather enjoys being alone?
Imagine if all the sudden, some random person moved into your bedroom. would it stress you out? I wouldn't say he's anti social... teritorial probably. Male guppies tend to be kinda agressive. Once you have some more it won't be so bad because any agression will spread out, not just target one fish. What I would do to help them be comfortable is redo the tank take tem out and feed them seperately. Meanwhile, you can rearange the decor. make some hiding spots and display the decor so that it sort of devides up the tank into sections. put them back in together. The purpose of that is so instead of it being like one fish invading the others territory, the two are going into an unfamiliar environment together. This should help alot while they adjust to eachothers company!
I agree with the territory thing happening but IMO there really isn't anywhere to hide in a 2.5 gallon tank. Even in a 10 gallon there isn't a lot of room for "territories" sadly. Is the 2.5 your fry tank? Will everyone be moving to something bigger at some point? Maybe putting them all together in something bigger like a 10 might be better as adding to their numbers in some species reduces aggression. But I wouldn't add to the 2.5.
They seem to have gotten used to each other. No clamped fine from either side and they don't chase each other (except at feeding time) no, the 2.5 isn't the fry tank. It's my brothers tank and he really wanted some fish, so once the fry is old enough to tell what gender they are, I put them in his tank. I plan to watch and take them out when they get a bit bigger and just continually swap out the fish. The ones that he was right now are a little under an inch (fins included).
I figured it was more him being territorial, but I wasn't sure. They seem to be getting along okay. The older one has definitely taken up residence as the alpha male among the two of them. The other kinda just stays out of his way most of the time. I have 1 possibly 2 more that will be added soon. I'll take out the current two and rearrange before putting everyone back in to assure there won't be any problems.

She's not like other girls, that Emma-Jean Lazarus. She doesn't burst into tears every day in middle school or giggle about boys with her friends. Come to think of it, she doesn't seem to have all that many friends to begin with. That's okay, though. If Emma-Jean is anything, she's comfortable being herself. That's something Colleen Pomerantz would probably pay anything to be. When Emma-Jean finds Colleen sobbing in the girls' bathroom (which is just as illogical as it is out of character) she vows to help Colleen out any way she can. Of course, that may mean some forgery here and there, but Emma-Jean is confident in her abilities. Now, however, she has mixed feelings towards her widowed mother falling for the nice Indian guy boarding with them, while at the same time learning that this whole "friendship" idea may not be as straightforward as all that. People don't always make sense and the world is not always fair, but sometimes change can be good. Even if it's not entirely comfortable.Read more ›
manner - until the day she finds Colleen crying in the girl's restroom. While comforting Collen, Emma-Jean is startled when Collen, not wanting to leave the restroom with swollen eyes, grabs her by the hand and begs,
"Emma-Jean, please help me." Extremely intelligent, Emma-Jean decides to help Colleen resolve her problem with the school's hateful "queen bee ." She succeeds in resolving the problem. She then decides she is good at resolving problems and becomes the unofficial, uninvited problem-solver for many of her classmates with hugely unintended consequences for everyone -- including the kind but hapless Colleen.
This first novel is full of quirky, understated humor. When Colleen tells Emma-Jean that '"Some people aren't nice.' Emma-Jean knew this was true. People sometimes behaved unkindly toward one another, even at William Gladstone Middle School." Massive understatement. The author knows her milieu. Her story works beautifully on many levels and rounds out happily in the end. Destined for greatness.
Overall, there is little to complain about in this short, light, G-rated story (although I take issue with the author's decision to include a 7th grade girl's reference to cellulite (p 109), "Colleen had the worst cellulite in America and didn't like changing in front of people," which seems inappropriate and unnecessary given the overall tone of the book), except that I can't imagine much of an audience for a story about middle school students written at a lower-than-middle-school reading level. After some self-debate, I chose to give it four stars only because of its minimal level of inappropriate behavior (mostly dishonesty on the part of Emma-Jean, and an unkind classmate's antics) is a nice change. Similarly light reading on middle school life: The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger and Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. Better: When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead.
