The first thing people should do is start researching SUPPLEMENTAL plans to aid in covering costs that might burden the new shift. Here is a good website to start from: --- http://www.tricare-supplemental-insurance-comparison.com/ ----

Hope this helps!

When the "public" Free press is producing biased articles and legislation is breaking Constitutional duties to balance the powers of a Supreme Court decision, it is "MY" business! Hetro/Homo unions do not "need" Government approval, but if they intend to utilize Government benefits then it is a public matter. Gay unions have existed way before this Court decision, but now they want Government interaction without the consent of the Government (We the people). It is time that this issue is addressed by the Citizens who support and defend the Constitution, not just a select few.

"we’re not convinced that most are hungry for a continuing battle on marriage equality."-- The Citizens do not have to "convince" the Free Press of anything. The other classic argument is that there is "more pressing issues" which is why this last legislation ignored the constituents in their right to be represented. That is why "important" issues like Texting Ban, Seat belts, Grain Weight Limit for Farmers, and Military Spouse Benefits were put before this issue! people are demanding better accounting of our Representatives and the media and politicians are creating propaganda that diverts the wishes of the Citizens. It is time that Citizens participate in setting Priorities in our State House and exercise their "right" to put in People who will support their wishes instead of telling them "they are not convinced".

A smart (and Green) idea would be to preserve the bricks for a "historical" project. That way it can carrying the historical legacy with the new project and keep the community reminding of its impact in the community. Thereby saving costs to maintain and unusable icon and turning it into a legacy tourist attraction.

Good Choice!

For those that are complaining about the "choices" then I suggest that you involve YOURSELF in a campaign! The people that stand up and try to make a difference are the people that count, not the critics! The failure of the loss of our Freedoms and rights is directly Responsible to the inactive participation of the CITIZENS to support and Defend the CONSTITUTION. They got lazy and figured their "Vote" (or lack of) was the end of dealing with protecting our Government (we the People). Elected Officials are only Representatives, not Royalty or any other Tyrant that can impose actions on the people without consent. Own YOUR role in this fiasco we call Government!

The message should be clear, just like Al Capone. Businesses that think they can evade hiring ILLEGAL people and profit off their misfortune should be prepared to pay the price for getting caught. It is also the first signal to Illegal Immigration that this country takes this matter seriously! I only hope that a "pattern" emerges out of this trial and some Employers start sweating! It is time to take back our Nation and ensure that CITIZENS are the people we protect, not the ILLEGAL community!

Don't forget, this is "sensationalism" media! It was intended to deliver this type of outrage. People can "want" all the time, but it is what they need that really counts. I am sure there are people who "want" 6 lane Interstate 80 down by Iowa City and Coralville also (and if the newspaper could make an article about it, they would).

The point is if this newspaper was doing good journalism they would have dug deeper and asked the "important" questions. Like how do you plan to replace the coal with a more efficient technology at this time? How would you handle the cost difference through out the campus? What length of time would it take to transition into your new technology to ensure you meet the same efficiency as the current system? That is just a few question to ask "these students" with their plan. But good journalism did not play out and it did not report the results, it just wanted to stir up the community and allow some students to spout some words without any substance.

if the Governmental Guidelines are as screwed up as the "labeling" system, it is no wonder why our nutritional meals are terrible in our Government establishments. We can easily see how terrible the FDA is on managing and correcting health issues. It is about time that Parents and Citizens get involved and start demanding that better food service be given to the youth and better guidelines be established. The poor excuses that are given are unacceptable and need REFORM! I hope they continue with more reality shows and start exposing more educational institutions on the poor meal management that is given to children. It might force Government to change their food purchasing patterns instead of stating their "budgets" are the problem. The real problem is the corruption in the food purchasing, look at the recent exposure in this.
