He proved in 2008 that he's one of the fastest GS guys in the world and he backed that up last season with an incredible second run to take bronze at the World Championships. If he can put together two solid runs, there isn't a guy who can beat him. He will have already raced combined and super G, but this is his race. I'm also excited to see what young Tommy Ford can do. He's from Oregon and is used to this kind of snow. I don't have any expectations for this guy other than him working hard and putting in 100% effort.

  • Alana Nichols
    USG-Sponsored Team USA Athletes ALANA NICHOLS I love what I do. I absolutely love it, and I believe in myself. I really do believe that I can accomplish what I set out to accomplish. —Alana Nichols The words ‘courage’, ‘determination’ and ‘champion’ are used a lot when describing Olympians. But when it comes to Alana Nichols, those words have never been more accurate. At the age of 17, Alana Nichols was snowboarding during an annual family vacation in Colorado. Attempting an ambitious back flip on the snowy mountains, Alana over twisted, lost control and landed forcefully on a rock, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. The years that followed required tremendous courage and commitment as she recovered from this accident and became even stronger than she was before. While recuperating, Alana took an interest in the sport of wheelchair basketball. After two years of hard work and training, she found herself as an alternate for the U.S. Women’s Team during the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens. Alana’s determination eventually led to her becoming a full-time member of the national team. And in 2006, she won her first silver medal at the 2006 Wheelchair Basketball Championship. In 2008, Alana was on the big stage again at the Paralympic Games, this time on a basketball court on the other side of the world, in Beijing, China. And that day, she and her teammates won Gold. But Alana, didn’t celebrate long. Instead, she moved to Colorado, with her eye set on an entirely different sport – Alpine skiing.

  • Oklahoma Health Care Authority
    Oklahoma Health Care Authority §1115(a) SoonerCare Research and Demonstration Waiver Amendment Request Project Number: 11-W-00048/6 Submitted January 19, 2018 1/10/2018 3:22 PM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Oklahoma’s single state Medicaid agency, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), operates the §1115(a) SoonerCare Research and Demonstration Waiver, which was initially approved in 1995. The waiver authorizes the SoonerCare Choice and Insure Oklahoma (IO) demonstrations. With this amendment request, OHCA seeks approval of the following modifications to the demonstration for the 2018 extension period: 1. Modify the Special Terms and Conditions (STC) to add qualifying supplemental payments to (a) Oklahoma public universities and/or federally recognized entities that offer qualified physician (M.D. and D.O.) Oklahoma based residency training programs in recognition of the higher cost associated with these programs for physician recruitment and training to maintain sufficient access to quality preventive, primary and specialty healthcare for SoonerCare members and (b) to offer an OHCA approved physician qualified loan repayment program; 2. Modify the waiver language to add hypothesis and evaluation criteria to test and measure the adequacy and sufficiency of the proposed program; and 3. Modify the expenditure authority to add expenditures related to services provided under the program. Background: In recognition of CMS’s commitment to assist the OHCA in identifying a path forward for critical funding that supports access and healthcare delivery for Medicaid beneficiaries, the OHCA is submitting this amendment to continue support, through supplemental payments, of physician residency training programs and physicians who practice in rural communities. Oklahoma’s two medical schools; specifically the University of Oklahoma, College of Medicine (OU) and the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU) are key clinical partners with the OHCA in the delivery of Medicaid services in the state.
