Exit133 is about Tacoma
Imagine Tacoma - Port DMZ
The City of Tacoma is in the midst of developing a Downtown Plan Update (not a Master Plan per se but a document that may likely recommend the creation of a Master Plan). There is, however, an apparent huge omission in the scope of this undertaking: The Downtown Plan Update does not include the Thea Foss Waterway (the rationale behind this omission is that the Thea Foss has its own plan – which was last updated almost 10 years ago). Although the 'working definition' of Downtown Tacoma stretches over to include the East side of the Foss, the limitation of the update scope creates a further challenge to adequately address the integration of the waterfront into the fabric of upland Downtown (a specific note of concern raised by Lars Gemzoe – the Danish architect brought in by the City Council last April to provide recommendations to salvage Tollefson Plaza). So Imagine Tacoma looks at what an expanded Eastern edge of Downtown Tacoma might be:
Port DFZ (Douglas Fir Zone)
While the Port should be rightly concerned about development 'creep' onto their industrial lands – why not plant a 100 foot wide buffer aligned along the East Side of East 'D' Street to define the edge of the heavy industrial uses (not an original idea – as it has been proposed by local architects for many years). The view from the slope of Downtown would have a ribbon of green that can define this hard zoning edge while 'softening' the industrial aesthetic of the panorama (envision a Christo fence of fir trees). This would then allow the Port of Tacoma to become 'a player' in the mixed-use development of the East side of the Thea Foss. For the Foss Waterway to succeed, BOTH sides of the waterway need to be developed with pedestrian oriented activity – i.e. we cannot continue to have a Berlin Wall of Water existing down the center of the waterway.
Mixed-use Dynamics
If Granville Island can work with a concrete factory in its midst, the East side of the Foss can thrive with the unique aspects of the existing industrial uses. The East side should allow a variety of uses – from existing ship building to residential lofts to glass hot shops. Maybe the East side could really become Tacoma's own Murano Peninsula – basking in afternoon sun with the best views of the City from across the Foss Waterway.
Green Overlay
What if the City helped sponsor a review of all of the existing uses along the waterway for incorporating sustainability elements – from best practice procedures to incorporating green building elements. With the City of Tacoma spending yet undetermined millions on the development of Urban Waters – then why not make it a flag ship for the whole peninsula about maintaining viable industrial port lands while achieving sustainable environmental goals?
Now many of these item have been covered by Imagine Tacoma before – Murray Morgan Bridge, Foss Connections I + II, Cheney Stadium Relocation, MOG inside-out – but without the Port of Tacoma becoming a partner in the necessary urban development of the Thea Foss (West and East sides), then the concerted efforts spent in the rest of the Downtown will remain only partially successful.

That's a great and achievable idea. The city council and Port should make it happen.

wow…. this is something; a vision for Tacoma!
Let's work in a maritime center as well. Not so much a museum, but really a park with an open area, possibly some temporary sculpture and outdoor exhibit area. Let this be an anchor for the Tall Ships each year and a tribute to the maritime heritage of Tacoma (and specifically the Foss waterway and Foss family).
You've got a trolley there and I think that metaphorically links the railways that built Tacoma to the waterways that brought the rails here. It also connects to Sounder rail and Link rail that in ways connect Tacoma's future as a hub.
I like the idea of the green curtain/Port DFZ since it does separate the industrial from the Foss and will increase it's attractiveness. It also represents even more of Tacoma's links – we were built as a timber town. We moved timber onto ships, and then the rails when they came. Now we live here because of the green and it's connection to nature.
When you're done working out downtown and the Foss…. can we connect it to Ruston Way better? Green space and trails!

Great vision! I love it ! A ballpark right across from the Maritime Museum, a cozy harbor, a great view of downtown (I've always wanted to have that viewpoint and I bet I'm not the only one).
Can you imagine watching a ballgame, seeing tall ships in the bay, and watching the sun go down over the Olympics? That would be pretty damn cool.
Granville island is a good reference point for this idea, and it really adds to Vancouver. But here's the rub, you have to save the bridge, that's the cog rubbing raw this vision. And that isn't going to be cheap.
David, go one step further and give a rough ballpark figure to see through, 100 mil (the bridge is what 40 mil to fix, maybe less for just peds), then what's the rest of it cost? Of course there's no hard figure, but a ballpark, so to say .. . .?
let's do it!

East Foss. Yes. Ideally with great pedestrian & shuttle access.
A green belt. Yes.
A ball park. Yes… and/or space for field sports like soccer, etc.
Downtown living will become much more attractive if residents have sports/recreation/park facilities within walking distance… on the East Foss.

My concern is budgeting and sprawl into the tideflats. This is a good idea if the two water inlets are dredged and an island is created. That way there's a real boundry (not easily knocked down trees)between the industrial tideflats and Tacoma's play-land.
What about the costs? I heard $80-$120m to fix up the MM Bridge alone – before 11% inflation and concrete and other construction materials moving up to 70% higher. Does the city have that now or in the forseeable future? No. I would surely see a project similar to this happening if real estate becomes super-hot again or in about 20 years or so. These projects are why it's so important to create more tax revenue through population increase, businesses moving here, etc.
Another problem is that Tacoma is so full of deferred maintenance that the own could spend money on that alone for the next who-knows-how-long before they get to some pet projects. I know I'm on the pesamistic side but I think this town has way bigger items to handle right now. IE- attracting way more educated, white-collar jobs, attracting the hipsters and retired to the city core, maintenance of existing streets-powerline burial-streetscaping-etc.-etc.-etc…

Where do things stand on the tax restructuring/sales tax credit (I forget how it worked exactly) the state was offering the City to pay for rehabbing Murray Morgan bridge? I think it died last year in the state legislature, but I think it would be able to pass with a good push from south Sound legislators.
Fixing the bridge (if we want to fix it, and I think the long term needs of the city necessitate it) is a matter of regional equity. Certainly we should get $100 million or so to fix our bridge problem as Seattle gets billions for the viaduct repairs/replacement and 520 replacement.
Also, Tacoma will see a lot of new, educated workers when the new Urban Waters/Puget Sound Partnership headquarters is built on the east side of the Foss — they're going to want easy access to downtown. They'll also want the environment around their offices to be something more than an industrial wasteland.

For years this same idea has been in the back of my mind. I think it is great. To be truly successful the waterway needs to be accessible on both sides. The view from the east side of the waterway towards downtown is one of the best in the city. Baseball? Perfect. What you don't want to do is allow a bunch of development right up on the water blocking public access. Provide a green buffer of parks between the water and any large buildings. Keep the condos out. Include public moorage for visiting boats. Provide easily accessible parking and an extension of the Link. How about some sort of amphitheater for concerts and plays? And don't forget a water taxi to link the east and west sides of the waterway.
Sure, money can be difficult to come by, and the city has many other problems, but you can't give up. You need to keep the dream alive. One of the ways to attract more people and business is to make the city truly livable and this is a way to make this part of the city that way.

nos@3: there is a great new interactive maritime center that celebrates our maritime heritage whose grand opening was just before Tall Ships this year and the hub of much activity. Did you see it? Tom Cashman and co. have done a great job with many improvements and additions slated for the future.
In addition, there is a new Youth Marine Center in the planning stages on the east side of the Foss, more of a vocational training/skills building center for youth.
Between these two facilities we'll have some of the best hands-on and interpretive maritime facilities in the nation.

Great vision!
I would like to know why the Port of Tacoma is not behind re-opening the Murray Morgan Bridge.
Certainly if they are going to put office buildings in over there, they would want to be connected to downtown – assuming they actually intend to construct new offices.

Look at the new downtown baseball park going up in Tampa Bay.
I personally would love to see the new home for the Rainiers just south east of the city. Imagine sitting in the stands looking across the water to downtown Tacoma.

Has anyone discussed using permaculture design gardens with the bioremediation of the soil in the port via mushrooms and plants? Food forests could also be created in raised beds to feed folks using the area for recreation - much better than vending machines. It would be great to brainstorm other visions, unconventional ones, that will make the port become a showcase of how to reclaim a super fund site.

Often, biceps tendonitis occurs in people whose work or activity involves repetitive, overhead movements. The condition can develop over time wherein pain is felt at the front part of the shoulder, which can worsen with continued activity.
Biceps tendonitis often occurs with other shoulder conditions, the most common of which is rotator cuff injury. Other shoulder problems that may occur along with biceps tendonitis include:
- Arthritis in the shoulder joint
- Shoulder impingement
- Chronic shoulder instability
- Labral tear
What is the long head of the biceps muscle?
Your biceps muscle is located in front of your upper arm. It is attached to your shoulder bone via two tendons – the long head and the short head. The long head of your biceps muscle attaches to the top of your shoulder socket. The biceps short head attaches your biceps to a bony bump in front of your shoulder blade called the coracoids process.
Occurrence of biceps tendonitis is often associated with long-term (chronic) repetitive overhead activities. Our tendons slowly weaken as we age because of everyday wear and tear. This slow degeneration of tendon tissues can be worsened by shoulder overuse.
In the early stages of biceps tendonitis, your biceps tendon becomes red or swollen. As the condition progresses, the biceps tendon's covering – called tendon sheath – thickens. Occasionally, further damage to the tendon may result in tendon tear
People whose work involves lifting objects especially pulling and pushing overhead are at risk for developing biceps tendonitis. Participating in certain sports that require repetitive overhead movements may put you at risk for developing this condition. Examples of such sports include:
- Weightlifting
- Swimming
- Baseball
- Cricket
- Rowing, and
- Kayaking
The most common symptom of biceps tendonitis is pain in the front of the shoulder. This is often made worse with overhead lifting or activity. Other symptoms you may experience include:
- Tenderness at the front of your shoulder
- Swelling
- Feeling of shoulder giving way when lifting or reaching overhead
- Sensation of "snapping" or "clicking" in the front of your shoulder when you do shoulder motion
- Difficulty moving your affected shoulder to perform daily tasks, such as wearing your shirt or putting away dishes in an overhead cabinet
How is this condition diagnosed?
During your visit to your doctor, you will be asked about your symptoms and your medical history. After which, he or she will perform a thorough physical examination of your shoulder. Your doctor may have to move your arm or ask you to perform certain movements during your shoulder examination. Your doctor will also perform certain physical examination tests to help with correct diagnosis.
Imaging tests are not usually necessary to diagnose biceps tendonitis. However, if your doctor suspects other shoulder problems that you might have, he or she may request diagnostic imaging of your shoulder. This will help rule out any other shoulder condition.
Your doctor will first consider the nonsurgical approach for treating your biceps tendonitis.
Rest. This is very important. Avoid activities or shoulder movements that worsen your pain, especially overhead activities.
Ice application. Apply cold packs for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time, several times a day, to keep swelling down. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Your doctor or physical therapist can help teach you on how to properly apply ice on your injury.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Your doctor may prescribe you pain medication, such as ibuprofen or naproxen to help reduce your pain and swelling.
Physical therapy. Your physical therapist will create a comprehensive treatment plan based on your specific problems. He or she can help you perform proper stretching and strengthening exercises that will help you restore your shoulder range of motion and strength. In addition, your therapist can provide you with techniques to help you prevent further or future shoulder injury.
Surgery may not be necessary if your condition improves with conservative treatments. However, your doctor may recommend surgery if your condition does not improve, worsens, or when you have other shoulder problems present.
After you surgery, you doctor may refer you to physical therapy for rehabilitation to help you get back to your normal activities.

The summit which is about to handle modern digital marketing trends does not communicate with the public via social media, which are by the way the backbone of digital? This is at least complicate to organize. We found great portion of information by local news portals for instance.
All in all, we are going to keep you updated on any novelties and news. Stay tuned.

Illinois Tow Truck Insurance
Illinois Tow Truck Insurance. If you own a IL tow truck business, you likely appreciate the freedom of being your own boss and making your own rules. However, if you don't have the right level of coverage in place for your business, you may be putting your future success into jeopardy.
Understanding the risks of your business and mitigating those risks with the proper Illinois tow truck insurance is vital to making your business the best it can be and weathering any claims that are brought against you.
Illinois tow truck insurance protects your towing business from lawsuits with rates as low as $217/mo. Get a fast quote and your proof of insurance now.
According to the NHTSA, IL tow truck drivers face twice the national average risk when it comes to occupational fatalities and ideuries. The most typical injury to the driver of a tow truck is being hit by other vehicles on the roadway. Operators often also ideure themselves when they are hooking a wrecked vehicle up and exposing themselves to broken glass and jagged edges on windshields. Because tow truck drivers are often called out for work on days when the weather is horrible, bad driving conditions such as snow and ice often lead to accidents among drivers and others on the road. In the case of a tow truck driver who also offers repo services, confrontations from disgruntled vehicle owners are an additional peril.
You face a lot of the same concerns that owners of other types of commercial vehicles face as a driver of a tow truck. However, some risks are unique to your profession. Companies that offer tow truck insurance are adept at understanding those particular risk offers several different kinds of Illinois tow truck insurance coverage for you to choose from. With the various options available, it is possible to build your policy along with your agent to ensure that it covers you at all levels.
What Does Tow Truck Insurance Cover?
By law, commercial tow truck operators and owners must carry a minimum amount of liability coverage. Since you are responsible for the safety and well-being of anyone working for you, you also need other coverage types beyond the minimum to fully mitigate any potential claims. Working with a knowledgeable agent can help you to understand the nuances of Illinois tow truck insurance insurance and the particulars of what your particular situation requires. Tow truck owners can be held responsible if they are found to be the cause of an accident, if the car they tow is damaged, if a passenger in their vehicle is damaged, or if they damage other cars or cause bodily harm while driving.
To mitigate those risks, your agent may suggest:
- Liability insurance. This covers property damage or bodily injury to others caused by you or your driver. In IL you must purchase at least $25,000/$50,000. This type of coverage may also pay your legal fees if you're ever involved in a claim.
- Medical payments coverage. If you, your driver or passengers in the truck are injured while on the job, this type of insurance pays for medical bills that accrue as a result. Because IL tow truck drivers often provide a ride for owners whose vehicles are disabled, this is an important coverage type.
- Physical damage coverage. Coverage for damage to your truck, no matter who is at fault, is provided under physical damage policies. Your lender may ask that you keep this insurance on your vehicle if it is leased or financed.
- Comprehensive policies. A comprehensive policy takes care of damage resulting from non-collisions. For example, if your truck is vandalized, catches on fire or you are victim of a natural disaster.
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist protection. Protect yourself from others on the road who are uninsured or who have inadequate insurance with this type of coverage.
- Garage service protection. If you park or store your truck in a covered location, this coverage protects you losses due to collisions, vandalism, theft or fire.
- On-hook insurance. If a vehicle is damaged when you tow it, then this coverage protects you from loss. It also includes protection for damages from collision, vandalism, explosions, theft and fire.
The amount of coverage provided depends on your limits when choosing the policy and any deductible amount associated with your Illinois tow truck insurance policy. Evaluate your risk and your tolerance of risk along with your ability to pay for damages prior to choosing the policy for you.
The Cost of Tow Truck Insurance
Although it sounds cliche, the truth is that you should ask yourself not if you can afford Illinois tow truck insurance for your tow truck, but rather if you can afford not to have this valuable coverage in place. The exact cost of your premium is determined largely by the truck or trucks you own, your driving record and the driving records of your employees, as well as the area of the country you live in and whether your tow truck business is a standalone business or you offer other services, such as mechanical services or operate a service station.
Getting a Good Rate on Tow Truck Insurance
Compare rates with multiple insurers to determine which company offers the best plan for you. Work with your agent to determine which coverage types are essential for you and how much insurance you need to fully mitigate your risks.

Ethernet Frame Structure
Views (1966)
On February 02, 2016, In The Link Layer and Local Area Networks by Admin
We can learn a lot about Ethernet by examining the Ethernet frame, which is illustrated in Figure 1. To give this discussion about Ethernet frames a tangible context, lets consider sending an IP datagram from one host to another host, with both hosts on the same
Ethernet LAN (for instance, the Ethernet LAN in "Ethernet" Figure 2). (Although the payload of our Ethernet frame is an IP datagram, we note that an Ethernet frame can carry other network-layer packets as well). Let the sending adapter, adapter A, have the MAC address AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA and the receiving adapter, adapter B, have the MAC address BB-BB-BB-BB-BB-BB. The sending adapter encapsulates the IP datagram within an Ethernet frame and passes the frame to the physical layer. The receiving adapter receives the frame from the physical layer, extracts the IP datagram, and passes the IP datagram to the network layer. In this context, lets now examine the six fields of the Ethernet frame, as illustrated in Figure 1.
● Data field (46 to 1,500 bytes). This field carries the IP datagram. The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of Ethernet is 1,500 bytes. This means that if the IP datagram exceeds 1,500 bytes, then the host has to fragment the datagram, as discussed in "The Internet Protocol (IP)". The minimum size of the data field is 46 bytes. This means that if the IP datagram is less than 46 bytes, the data field has to be "stuffed " to fill out to 46 bytes. When stuffing is used, the data passed to the network layer contains the stuffing as well as an IP datagram. The network layer uses the length field in the IP datagram header to remove the stuffing.
● Destination address (6 bytes). This field contains the MAC address of the destination adapter, BB-BB-BB-BB-BB-BB. When adapter B receives an Ethernet frame whose destination address is either BB-BB-BB-BB-BB-BB or the MAC broadcast address, it passes the contents of the frames data field to the network layer; if it receives a frame with any other MAC address, it discards the frame.
● Source address (6 bytes). This field contains the MAC address of the adapter that transmits the frame onto the LAN, in this example, AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA.
● Type field (2 bytes). The type field permits Ethernet to multiplex network-layer protocols. To understand this, we need to keep in mind that hosts can use other network-layer protocols besides IP. In fact, a given host may support multiple network-layer protocols using different protocols for different applications. For this reason, when the Ethernet frame arrives at adapter B, adapter B needs to know to which network-layer protocol it should pass (that is, demultiplex) the contents of the data field. IP and other network-layer protocols (for instance, Novell IPX or AppleTalk) each have their own, standardized type number. Moreover, the ARP protocol (discussed in the previous section) has its own type number, and if the arriving frame contains an ARP packet (i.e., has a type field of 0806 hexadecimal), the ARP packet will be demultiplexed up to the ARP protocol. Note that the type field is similar to the protocol field in the network-layer datagram and the port-number fields in the transport-layer segment; all of these fields serve to glue a protocol at one layer to a protocol at the layer above.
● Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) (4 bytes). As discussed in "Error-Detection and -Correction Techniques", the purpose of the CRC field is to allow the receiving adapter, adapter B, to detect bit errors in the frame.
● Preamble (8 bytes). The Ethernet frame begins with an 8-byte preamble field. Each of the first 7 bytes of the preamble has a value of 10101010; the last byte is 10101011. The first 7 bytes of the preamble serve to "wake up" the receiving adapters and to synchronize their clocks to that of the senders clock. Why should the clocks be out of synchronizatin? Keep in mind that adapter A aims to transmit the frame at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps, depending on the type of Ethernet LAN. However, because nothing is absolutely perfect, adapter A will not transmit the frame at exactly the target rate; there will always be some drift from the target rate, a drift which is not known a priori by the other adapters on the LAN. A receiving adapter can lock onto adapter As clock simply by locking onto the bits in the first 7 bytes of the preamble. The last 2 bits of the eighth byte of the preamble (the first two consecutive Is) alert adapter B that the "important stuff" is about to come.
Ethernet uses baseband transmission; that is, the adapter sends a digital signal directly into the broadcast channel. The interface card does not shift the signal into another frequency band, as is done in ADSL and cable modem systems. Many Ethernet technologies (e.g., 10BASE-T) also use Manchester encoding, as illustrated in Figure 2. With Manchester encoding, each bit contains a transition; a 1 has a transition from up to down, whereas a 0 has a transition from down to up. The reason for Manchester encoding is that the clocks in the sending and receiving adapters are not perfectly synchronized. By including a transition in the middle of each bit, the receiving host can synchronize its clock to that of the sending host. Once the receiving adapters clock is synchronized, the receiver can delineate each bit and determine whether it is a 1 or 0. Manchester encoding is a physical-layer operation rather than a link-layer operation; however, we have briefly described it here because it is used extensively in Ethernet.
An Unreliable Connectionless Service
All of the Ethernet technologies provide connectionless service to the network layer. That is, when adapter A wants to send a datagram to adapter B, adapter A encapsulates the datagram in an Ethernet frame and sends the frame into the LAN, without first handshaking with adapter B. This layer-2 connectionless service is similar to IPs layer-3 datagram service and UDPs layer-4 connectionless service.
Ethernet technologies provide an unreliable service to the network layer. Particularly, when adapter B receives a frame from adapter A, it runs the frame through a CRC check, but neither sends an acknowledgment when a frame fails the CRC check. When a frame fails the CRC check, adapter B simply discards the frame. Thus, adapter A has no idea whether its transmitted frame reached adapter B and passed the CRC check. This lack of reliable transport (at the link layer) helps to make Ethernet simple and cheap. But it also means that the stream of datagrams passed to the network layer can have gaps
If there are gaps due to discarded Ethernet frames, does the application at Host B see gaps as well? As we learned in "Transport Layer", this depends on whether the application is using UDP or TCP. If the application is using UDP, then the application in Host B will indeed see gaps in the data. On the other hand, if the application is using TCP, then TCP in Host B will not acknowledge the data contained in discarded frames, causing TCP in Host A to retransmit. Note that when TCP retransmits data, the data will eventually return to the Ethernet adapter at which it was discarded. Thus, in this sense, Ethernet does retransmit data, although Ethernet is unaware of whether it is transmitting a brand-new datagram with brand-new data, or a datagram that contains data that has already been transmitted at least once.

The birth control pack I take says lomedia 24 fe, but my doctor calls it loestrin or something like that. Anyway, I used to take tri sprintec but I switched and this is the first month I've taken the new one. I'm on day 3 out of 4 of the brown pills and no period. I haven't skipped any of the pills either. I've had some symptoms of my period though, just no blood.
Haven't gotten my period yet and on the 3rd day of brown pill. is there something wrong?

COLBERT COUNTY, Ala. - Millions of people are expected to be on the highways across the nation over the next few days.
Whether you're traveling to see family or just the local shopping center, you will notice more law enforcement. State troopers are ramping up patrols, looking to keep drivers safe while behind the wheel.
"It's our busiest time of year for travelers and it's something we see throughout the state," stated ALEA spokesman Sr. Trooper Jonathan Appling. "We see a lot of crashes; last year had 10 fatalities during the Thanksgiving travel period. So it's also a dangerous time to be on the road. So we need the motoring public's help."
Trooper Appling said to follow the basic safety tips they are constantly speaking about. Wear your seat belt, don't drive distracted, and never drive under the influence.
Appling stressed to always follow the speed limit, and make sure to leave for your destination in plenty of time.
"Driving isn't always about you and what's going on with you," explained Appling. "It's about everyone that you are sharing that roadway with. Because one mistake that we make as drivers could just as easily injure or kill someone else."
Of all the fatalities across the state of Alabama, Trooper Appling says nearly 60% of the victims choose not to wear their seat belt. So please take a second to buckle up.
According to AAA, more than 43.5-million drivers are expected to hit the roads this holiday weekend. They say that number is fueled by cheaper gas prices.

Great Way to Celebrate Our 5th Anniversary!
Posted by David Goodman on Tuesday, May 5, 2015
Adventure travelers Rob and Cori joined us aboard Bel Ami for a fantastic week of R & R. Not big sailors, Rob and Cori took maximum advantage of beach/water/land time and kept the sailing to a minimum. Which was OK by us, because most of the time it was blowing like stink and bashing to windward in such conditions is not too much fun especially for newbie sailors. So they hiked, kayaked, snorkeled to their hearts content. Highlights of the trip included hiking on St. John along the Johnny Horn trail from Leinster Bay to Coral Bay, where Cori (being the animal lover that she is ) helped out a baby goat reunite with the mother goat; visiting the Annenberg Sugar Mill ruins; and snorkeling the caves and hiking at Norman Island. Here are some pictures to remember the trip by:

You Could Be Jailed for Failing to Pay Your Parent's Bills.
Comments (0)
A Pennsylvania man was recently held liable for his mom's $93,000 nursing home bill. In 30 states adult children are legally responsible to support their parents when they lack sufficient income to take care of themselves. This is known as filial responsibility and the number of states with filial laws is growing.
Filial responsibility laws typically don't apply unless your parent receives support from the government or they incur a nursing home or medical bill that they cannot pay. The government, nursing home, or hospital can then file a lawsuit against you in those states that allow it.
In some states, if a nursing home, hospital or the state obtains a judgment against you, you can go to jail if you don't pay. Approximately half of the states with filial responsibility laws impose criminal penalties if you fail to pay. Who says debtor prisons no longer exist in America? Other states will use the judgment to garnish your wages or place liens against your property. The unpaid debt will also appear on your credit report.
Minnesota does not currently have filial responsibility laws, however, there are still circumstances in which you can be held responsible for your parents' nursing home and medical bills. For more information on filial responsibility laws, click here.

Medical Condition: Type 1 Diabetes
Medical Therapy: Insulin pump
Charity: Educational Association in Diabetes
Roberta was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 14 years old, which she found particularly difficult to control until using an insulin pump to help manage her disease. For the past two years, Roberta has served as a volunteer for Educational Association in Diabetes (Colônia Diabetes Weekend), a program that offers young people living with diabetes activities, support, and the opportunity to share experiences. Roberta's Bakken Invitation Award will expand the Colônia Diabetes Weekend program so more participants can join each year.
"I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 14, and since then have gone through several treatments. Today, I use an insulin pump, which brought the certainty that diabetes will always be part of me and that my insulin pump has become a part of my body. Since the onset of diabetes, I have been living in a healthier way, full of life, and relating positively with people.
"I believe that nothing is impossible when you become the author of your own story, influencing those around you with the same health condition in a positive and inspiring way. Acceptance, care, optimism, and resilience are required so that diabetes becomes easier to control. I accept that all of us living with this disease need a bit of courage and determination.
"Participating in and volunteering with Educational Association in Diabetes, known as Colônia Diabetes Weekend, has transformed my life and the lives of many children, teens, and adults living with diabetes in Brazil. Being a volunteer and a participant in this extraordinary project has enabled the rehabilitation of my heart and my treatment. Everyone who participates is motivated to smile, to dream, to care, and to convey hope to the world.
"I am constantly challenged to achieve better diabetes control and to encourage my friends at Colônia Diabetes Weekend to take control of their diabetes and their futures. Today, I can lead others to participate in our educational program on diabetes and let people know diabetes should not be a reason to live without possibilities."
"Take a deep breath and keep believing! Believe in unexpected blessings, in miracles and stunning victories come your way as a reward for your effort."
"Do not stop believing; take a deep breath and do not give up. Believe with all your heart that you're destined to do great things, because if a word can change everything, imagine what an attitude can do. Nothing is impossible."
The Educational Association in Diabetes - Colônia Diabetes Weekend is a program in Brazil that offers young people living with diabetes activities, support, and the opportunity to share experiences. This grant will expand the Colônia Diabetes Weekend program so more participants can join each year.
*Not everyone who receives this therapy will receive the same results as the patient in this story. Talk with your doctor to determine if this type of therapy is right for you.
