I just paused it on the tiny disclaimer paragraph on the commercial and am blown away that someone comes up with this crap and can get away with it. When new, the first- and second-generation Eclipses were considered some of the best affordable sport coupes available. The Project, It's a case of the sum equals more then the separate parts or maybe like Communism where it's from each their abilities to each their needs.
The language of the letter is what makes free letter of intent the difference since its written in a. There were four different trim levels, each offering its own mix of powertrains. Stability control is standard across the entire line. Not much changed until 2009, when the SE trims were dropped, stability control was added for the GT (and later became standard for all Eclipses for 2010), and the car received a mild face-lift that included a more aggressive, Lancer Evo-like front fascia.
Up to 3 months while interest is accruing and then you're crazy 88 auto inventory back with high car payments that you can't afford. Easy by rhb is refreshingly simple and fast. Brutal, their ENTIRE commercial completely contradicts EVERYTHING they are saying in the fine print. The other two qualifications are stability and willingness to pay.
The workers ruminate endlessly about the correct way to install this door or that siding. Mitsubishi's sport coupe is offered in base GS, GS Sport, the sporty-looking SE and more athletic GT trim levels. With the Crazy 88 sale, you are guaranteed to get the car you want today. If a customer has negative equity, its not the dealers fault.
Yes, there are several options available. A dynamic, vertically integrated company, with roots in residential homebuilding dating back to 1954, Ritz-Craft Corporation distributes custom Modular/System-Built homes with living areas from 1,000 to 4,000 square feet in 29 states. I saw an infomercial today for Crazy 88, a company that promises that it can get you a new car for $88 down and $88 per month. In total, there have been four generations of the Eclipse. Cyprus is the test of whether that is correct, or whether the complacency was instead misplaced.

Before you buy your next car, read Remar Sutton's book Don't Get Taken Every Time. Shoppers attracted by the monthly payment options of instant credit websites can set up an automatic monthly savings deduction instead to plan for a furniture or electronics purchase. The Internet is a great invention for consumers. Not every dealer resorts to tactics of negative equity or high rates. Also i think they said "88" about 500 times in the 5 mins i was watching it.
We rented a couple of houses and then we were able to buy some land with a double wide manufactured home. The SE essentially gets some special wheels and styling elements. Borrowers may find the loan terms and conditions less attractive than the "A" loans, and it may take some time before a suitable funding source is located.

My claim has been neither paid nor denied. Compared to the foreshortened, almost stubby first Mitsubishi Eclipse, the second generation (1995-'99) seemed long, sleek and gorgeous. Calculating homeowner's insurance always requires that you take a number of different things into consideration. Also known as a liquidity report, a statement of cash flows indicates three main sections. That all sounded too good to be true, so I went to the company's website to try to read the fine print.
All are front-wheel drive and share their basic platform with the Galant sedan. So do a lot of car dealers, and you can always crazy 88 auto inventory shop around for different loan offers online. It was a bit bigger than the earlier car but in many ways very similar mechanically. But you can't fight city hall – standing up for your privacy rights is noble, but won't change the world. Remember that the compiler actually generates the appropriate getter and setter methods when it parses the VB.NET property syntax.
But if it's subject to dealer designated lender approval, what exactly does Crazy 88 do. With the subsequent demise of the Eagle and Plymouth brands, only the Eclipse remains in production. But even by the low standard that the industry has set for ethics, the Crazy 88 commercial is incredibly misleading. Most of the time, it's necessary to hire a lawyer. At Focus Inc, we empower you so that dealers and lenders are actually competing for your business the same way they compete for the business of a good-credit customer.
Would you like to easily make thousands of dollars for yourself and help others as you do so. Just minutes from Chicago, Illinois suburbs like Joliet, Wheaton, Frankfort, Naperville and Indiana cities of Hammond, Crown Point, Schererville, Valparaiso, Portage, Michigan City, Elkhart, South Bend. Or are you needing to find someone great.
The average dealer is forced to turn down 90% of all customers that walk in their door. More space to enjoy life, or just have more furniture. But you really made me pause and reconsider pursuing a new deal with this company. A six-speed manual was standard on the GT until 2011, but otherwise, powertrains are the same as the current Eclipse line.

MasterMind 2014 Honorable Mention: Alex Nuñez
Miami New Times' Mastermind Awards honors the city's most inspiring creatives. This year, we received more than 100 submissions, which our staff narrowed to an elite group of 30. We'll be profiling those honorable mentions, and eventually the finalists, in the weeks to come. This year's three Mastermind Award winners will be announced February 27 at Artopia, our annual soiree celebrating Miami culture. For tickets and more information, visit the website.

For Miami-bred artist Alex Nuñez, the world is her giant canvas and her creations are mere portals into other, wild realms. Though Nuñez has lived and studied in Florence, Barcelona, New Orleans, Boston, and even New York City, she still has Miami on her mind. The artist sees her artwork as a way to pay homage to her home city, and her Cuban-American roots are a constant source of inspiration.More »

SP Campground Review – James M Robb State Park, Fruita, CO
A pristine campground with views of the Colorado River and National Monument in Fruita, CO in Western Colorado.
Link to campground here: James M Robb State Park, Fruita, CO
Link to map location here: James M Robb State Park, Fruita, CO
- Site Quality = 5/5
These are probably the most pristine sites I've seen in a state park. Perfectly flat, large, manicured sites with central concrete section (for support), beautiful "sitting areas" with fire-pit, picnic table and shelters, good separation and absolutely lovely, green grounds. There's a selection of full hookup (50Amp/water/sewer) or electric (30Amp/water). Sites at the outer end 36-44 have the bonus of lake and stunning monument views
- Facilities = 4/5
Excellent facilities here. There are flush toilets, large showers (only ding is that they are pay only, $1 for 4 mins), and modern laundry (book-swap there too). Park also has several on-site lakes, a swim beach (indefinitely closed due to e-coli problems while we were there), boat ramp, picnic areas, fishing and trails. On-site dump station.
- Location = 5/5
Lovely location here. You are right next to lakes and the Colorado River as well as within sight of the gorgeous Colorado National Monument. Nearby Grand Junction has restaurants and all major shopping needs.
- Pet Friendliness = 4/5
Good doggie spot. On-site hiking trails and space to "play" by the river. Only dings are that the lake was closed to swimming while we were there, plus some of the trails were closed from damage and needed re-work. A short drive to McInnis Canyons BLM (just across the river) provides masses of additional pooch-friendly hiking. Poo bags provided on-site.
Overall Rating = 4.4
BONUS ALERT = Camp with stunning views of the Colorado National Monument & McInnis Canyons!
Summary: Well, this turned out to be soooo much nicer than we ever imagined. James M Robb SP actually offers 2 campgrounds in the area, but the one we chose was the Fruita section. The campground is set beautifully by a lake and the Colorado River and has stunning views of the Colorado National Monument in the background. The grounds themselves are more like a fancy RV resort than a state park with manicured grounds, trails, lakes, fishing and simply pristine sites (beautifully flat, large, well-kept pads with selection of full hook-up too!). Lots of green, modern facilities and the draw of the surrounding nature makes this a hidden gem. The only possibly dings I could give it is that the sites closest to the main road (12-19) have some road noise, the swim-beach was closed indefinitely due to e-coli problems and some trails were closed due to flood damage, but overall the campground is simply lovely. This place was miles better than the KOA we stayed at last year and we enjoyed it so much we extended our stay. No doubt when we come back this is where we'll camp again.
Extra Info: Full Verizon signal on both smartphone and aircard. Sites cost $20/night for electric (30Amp/water), $24/night for full hook-up (50Amp/water/sewer). There is an extra daily park fee of $7/day (can be covered with the Colorado Annual Parks Pass). Over 57 sites, all reservable. On site dump station and laundry.

Mary says:
We've been kinda following your footsteps (all of them) here and there. Yesterday we did Colorado Nat'l Monument – a second time for us. It is a beauty! In Sept. we'll backtrack from CO to AZ and pick up some more of your suggestions and campgrounds. Thanks for sharing!!
libertatemamo says:
Oh how very cool! I have to admit the Colorado Nat'l Monument blew me away. We'd definitely go again if we went back.
Where are you staying between now and Sept?
So happy you're enjoying the blog and getting some use out of it!
Mary says:
We'll be leaving the Montrose area and heading for Rifle Gap State Park and then to a forest service campground east of Meeker – West Fork. Not much there but a river for hubby for some fishin'. We'll chill out there over Labor Day weekend and then Bogan Flats forest service c.g. then Ridgeway for some fall colors, hopefully. Best of luck with your motorhome repairs and enjoy Oregon!!
libertatemamo says:
Awesome!! I'm totally jealous that you guys are spending all that time in CO.
The fall colors should be fabulous and Ridgeway should be just perfect at that time.
Hoping to get back to spend more time in the mountains next year!
Al Florida says:
Is Colorado still requiring a daily park pass for both the MH & your toad? If so, I think you should add that to your section about camping fees, instead of just the $7 daily park pass.
I just looked at the Colorado SP website & it looks to me that they are still double charging for MH's w/toad, but not for a truck & trailer/5'er combination.
libertatemamo says:
Nope. Only one pass required and it'll cover both motorhome and toad. I gather this was a problem a few years back so the question is definitely a valid one, but the policy seems to have changed. Both last year and this year we've only been required to have one pass for our MH+toad combo in the CO state parks.
Al Florida says:
Thanks for the update. When we were in Colorado in 2009 they were requiring a pass for the toad & MH. Since both vehicles were drivable they both needed a pass. So for the 3 months we were in CO. we didn't stay at any SP's.
Dave says:
Our favorite spot for sure. Set up a tent here for years and now ready to test out the new Eurovan at this location as well. We have met and talked to some cool people at this campground and everyone is very friendly.
The views and ambiance are spectacular. You would hardly know civilization is within walking distance!
libertatemamo says:
Totally agree that this place is a hidden GEM. We stayed at the KOA (yuk!) in Grand Junction our 1st year not even aware that this spot existed. Our 2nd year we discovered it and totally loved it!! Fabulous park.

The sadness of the world has different ways of getting to people, but it seems to succeed almost every time. Louis-Ferdinand Céline (via misswallflower)
(via amarilloo)
"We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers… We are the daughters of the feminists who said, "You can be anything," and we heard, "You have to be everything.""

Happy New Year, Rockers!!
I'm so excited for all that 2012 will bring in the world of How to Rock Braces. Like, ohhhh, I don't know…. the premiere of Nickelodeon's brand new show How to Rock, airing February 4th? I've seen the pilot episode, and let me tell you– tuning in will most definitely be worth it. One of the things I'm most excited about is the original music that will be featured on the show. As I was writing How to Rock Braces and Glasses, I had so much fun developing Kacey and Zander's musical tastes, so I'm beyond excited to see how the Nick show brings those musical tastes and talents to the screen. Below, check out a video of Cymphonique and the How to Rock cast singing "Only You Can Be You".
Rock on,

I'm so excited! Can't wait for it to air!

Napoleon famously wanted to know of his generals whether they possessed that rarest of all the qualities – luck. That commodity is equally precious to politicians. Judging by the latest revelations from Brussels, it appears that David Cameron owns the Westminster equivalent of a heather-bound horseshoe nailed to a leprechaun's rainbow – if he plays the latest development from Brussels right.
After weeks of wrangling, it now transpires that the Lisbon Treaty is going to have to be put before Parliament for approval again.
As you'd expect from the EU, the reason is complex.
In order to rush the Treaty through in the first place, the current draft failed to sort out the vexed issue of the distribution of seats in the European Parliament. As a result, there are various imbalances in the number of MEPs held by each country – and there are several "ghost" MEPs who currently work in Brussels but don't actually have any voting powers. To sort this out, the European Parliament is expected to vote this Thursday in favour of holding a new Inter Governmental Conference on 17th and 18th June. At that conference, part of the Lisbon Treaty will be rewritten – requiring full ratification again by the Parliament of each and every EU member state.
It has been widely assumed that the hope of a Lisbon Treaty referendum was dead and buried, but this development brings it back to the fore. David Cameron has always claimed that had he been in Government when the Lisbon Treaty passed through Parliament then he would have held a referendum. Will he now promise to hold a referendum on this new version of the Lisbon Treaty if he is in charge after the General Election?
The public remain overwhelmingly in favour of a referendum, and it would be a vote winner to promise one. Furthermore, it would be an opportunity for Cameron to challenge the Lib Dems and Labour to match his pledge – putting them in a very tight spot indeed.
The threat of a referendum on Lisbon is also the perfect bargaining chip to use against further EU integration, and to secure the repatriation of major powers. Without British approval for this new edition of Lisbon, the European Parliament would be caught in a bizarre limbo, and the Treaty itself would have been felled at the final hurdle.
Grasping this opportunity would be popular, strategically shrewd and – perhaps most importantly of all – honourable to the spirit as well as the letter of the Conservatives' EU pledges. The failure to grasp it would not only be astonishingly shortsighted; it would be the final brutal betrayal of the pledges made to the British people in a general election – the election of 2005.

C4 Forever
These past couple of weeks I have been apart of the C4 team, helping out with the filing through out the accounting field of this fast growing company. My boss and now friend Rizu, is a "tell it how it is" type of person and I totally adore her for that. Even though this experience was a short one I have learned a lot more then I expected and very grateful for this opportunity.

"I meant no disrespect to Flo-Rida, he's a cool dude…."
Ray-J is stepping back from statements he made against rapper and rumored boyfriend of his sister Brandy, Flo-rida.
As previously reported Ray was quoted on the first episode of his "Family Business" reality show saying that Flo Rida was a "sucka" for not offering to pay for his sister's outfit to The Grammy's.
Now however Ray J's retracting that statement and says the media is blowing the whole thing out of proportion.
Ray J posted a video blog to apologize and he says he meant no disrespect,
" There was some things said about Flo Rida in the first episode that people I think are blowing way out of proportion …I meant no disrespect to Flo Rida he's a cool dude always has been to the family. I'm on here right now to kill all of this nonsense that the media's trying to portray…"
Uhhh yeah.
Check out the rest of Ray's heartfelt apology below.
Way to run scared man up and apologize Ray.
Way to go.

W. Bernard Carlson: "Tesla: Inventor Of The Electric Age"
(Wikimedia Commons)
Nikola Tesla played a powerful role in the electrical revolution that transformed life at the turn of the 20th century. Born to a Serbian family in Croatia, he studied engineering in Austria before immigrating to America in 1884. He arrived penniless in New York, and within a decade, rivaled Thomas Edison as a celebrity scientist. His inventions, patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and wireless communication. A new biography draws on original papers from Tesla's private and public life to examine what, why and how he invented.
professor of science, technology, society and history at the University of Virginia; author of "Technology in World History" and "Innovation as a Social Process."

It's been a long time since I blogged now. The reason is that I simply don't have as much time and energy now that I'm working full time. I wish I had more time to spend in the kitchen! I will work the entire summer without vacation with the exception of two days when we're going on a long weekend trip to London. I look forward to that!
The latest food related thing I can tell you about is probably Midsummer's Eve. During the Midsummer weekend me and my boyfriend were in Malmö and visited friends who live there. It was very fun and really felt like a mini vacation. My friends that live in Malmö are vegan so we had a lot of delicious vegan food during the weekend.
On Midsummer's Eve we were at the beach and had a barbecue. We had Tzay with potato salad, tzatziki and barbecued vegetables. It was the first time I tried Tzay, which is a soy product with taste of ginger. It was very tasty!
Later during the evening there was vegan smörgåstårta with dill and seaweed caviar. Seaweed caviar is a product I din't know existed. It's made from seaweed that has been dyed and flavored to resemble caviar. The taste is quite close. Very exciting to try new kinds of food!
During the weekend we also went to a completely vegan café that had very nice and big sandwiches.

Release of 'winter-blend' gas could reduce pricesBy JASON DEAREN
The Associated Press | October 09,2012AP PHOTO
Traffic passes a Shell station displaying gasoline prices in the high $4.00 range, in Torrance, Calif., Monday, Oct. 8, 2012. State air pollution regulators said Monday that Californiaís air quality is not expected to worsen appreciably after the governor ordered the release of a dirtier blend of gasoline to help slash record-high pump prices.SAN FRANCISCO — State air pollution regulators said Monday that California's air quality is not expected to worsen appreciably after the governor ordered the release of a dirtier blend of gasoline to help slash record-high pump prices.
The California Air Resources Board issued a regulatory advisory a day earlier after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered them to allow so-called "winter-blend" gasoline to be sold in California earlier than usual to increase supply.
AAA said the average price for a gallon of regular hit $4.668 Monday in California — the highest price in the nation and an all-time high for the Golden State. Analysts said the spike has been driven by refinery disruptions and corrosion issues in an important pipeline.
"This action is necessary to address the extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstance," said the board's advisory allowing the use of the more polluting fuel. "(It) is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety or general welfare."
California usually converts to the gas on Oct. 31. The fuel evaporates in heat more quickly than summer-blends, so sends more pollutants into the environment, especially in warm weather.
Gil Duran, a spokesman for Brown, said the governor looked at all the options available, particularly scientists' prediction that such a change would not have a significant effect on the environment and "when he learned this could increase the supply by 8 to 10 percent, it just made sense."
Sunday's action was the first time since 2005 — when gas supplies were affected by refinery disruptions in the wake of Hurricane Katrina — that the air board has approved early conversion to winter-gas blends.
Officials said it could take days before prices fall, depending on how quickly refineries can get the winter-blend fuel to market.
"The gasoline market moves on news, and this is clearly good news in terms of supply, because it should be able to increase supply immediately," said Alison apRoberts, a spokeswoman with the California Energy Commission.
The third day of record-setting prices at the pump has also prompted calls for a federal investigation.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate, saying residents need to be protected from "malicious trading schemes."
FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said the agency does not confirm investigations "but we do have enormous respect for Senator Feinstein."
Feinstein in her letter Sunday asked the FTC to determine if the price spike was caused by illegal manipulation of the market and to start monitoring the market for fraud, manipulation, or other malicious trading practices.
"Publically available data appears to confirm that market fundamentals are not to blame for rising gas prices in California," she wrote.
Despite a pipeline and brief refinery shut down, she said, state data shows gas production last week was "almost as high as a year ago, and stockpiles of gasoline and blending components combined were equal to this time last year," she said.
In some locations, fuming motorists paid $5 or more per gallon while station owners had to shut down pumps in others.
A station in Long Beach south of Los Angeles had California's priciest gas at $6.65 for a gallon of regular, according to GasBuddy.com. Meanwhile, customers at an outlet in San Pablo north of Oakland paid just $3.49, the lowest.
Winter-blend gas typically isn't sold until after October 31, when cooler temperatures typically allow for its use while maintaining federal and state air quality standards. Few refineries outside the state are currently making summer-blend gas, putting the pressure on already-taxed California manufacturers.
Still, the air board said it believed that changing over a few weeks earlier than normal would not push California's air pollution beyond normal levels for this time of year.
David Pettit, an air quality attorney for Natural Resources Defense Council, said concerns over air pollution from the winter gas could arise if California experiences an October heat wave.
"But right now, I don't have any great concerns about it, based on average temperatures in the past in October," he said.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Stocks fell broadly on Wednesday, snapping a four-day winning streak for the Standard ...

On August 16, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy G. Thompson proposed a new rule for Medicaid beneficiaries in managed care plans. He touted its anticipated effect, saying in a press release, "This proposed rule provides needed patient protections and gives states flexibility to implement these protections without jeopardizing Medicaid beneficiaries' access to health care" (Psychiatric News, October 5).
The proposed rule would extend to Medicaid patients the same rights as are included in the patients' rights legislation now before Congress. That bill covers patients in employer-sponsored health plans.
Although the proposed rule does contain new protections for some Medicaid beneficiaries, it also has disturbing implications for beneficiaries who have mental illness, including substance abuse disorders.
Medicaid is the largest source of public funds for mental health services. And, according to Jeffrey Buck, associate director for organization and financing at the federal Center for Mental Health Services, "As of 1997, the most recent year for which we have good data, Medicaid was almost as important a source of funds for mental health and substance abuse treatment as was private insurance. Medicaid funds accounted for 20.3 percent of the total dollars spent on mental health and substance abuse, and private insurance accounted for 23.8 percent. The remainder came from other state and federal programs and out-of-pocket funds."
Steven Mirin, M.D., APA's medical director, said, "At the invitation of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] we submitted formal comments about the impact of the proposed rule on the patients we serve and those who remain unserved. I noted our concern that people with mental illness must have access to medically necessary psychiatric services provided in a variety of appropriate settings, within or through Medicaid managed care plans."
In his October 15 letter to CMS (which was previously called the Health Care Financing Administration), Mirin also described a series of specific Medicaid problems including the following:
• A rule proposed by the Clinton administration in 1998 stipulated that enrollees with "serious and multiple medical conditions" would have specific protections. State agencies would be required to assure that managed care companies have procedures in place to identify these individuals, assess their condition, identify appropriate medical procedures with monitoring, and develop a treatment plan. These procedures were to include direct access to specialists as required by the treatment plan and updated by the physician responsible. Treatment of depression by an "appropriate specialist" is an example given of covered service. The 2001 proposed rule does not contain comparable language or commentary.
The 1998 rule was finalized in January 2001, just before the Bush administration took office. The Bush administration, however, delayed its effective date twice this year to gain time to review the rule and make changes.
• Managed care plans have too often limited psychiatrists to providing only initial diagnostic evaluations and medication management. No protections against such contractual limitations are offered in the 2001 proposed rule.
• Sections on "provider discrimination," "availability of services," and "adequate capacity and services" should be revised to ensure that managed care companies offer a full range of psychiatric services and have a sufficient number of psychiatrists participating in their plans.
• The wording "Coordination and continuity of care" should be revised to ensure that CMS monitors state agencies and managed care companies to identify disruptions in treatment of patients with a mental illness and helps state agencies find solutions should such disruptions be imminent. CMS should describe appropriate coordination efforts and use its resources to ensure continuity and coordination of treatment.
• The proposed rule's section on the use of practice guidelines should be revised to ensure consultation with medical societies, such as APA, that have already developed guidelines.
The history of the proposed rule dates back to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA). In an analysis for the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, Jeffrey S. Crowley, project director of the Institute for Health Care Research and Policy at Georgetown University, wrote, "Major goals of the BBA were to achieve cost savings by creating new efficiencies in the Medicaid program and to give states new flexibility in mandating that Medicaid beneficiaries enroll in managed care. Congress also balanced these actions with substantial new consumer protections for beneficiaries enrolled in managed care companies."
In the lobbying that took place before the legislation passed, advocates for Medicaid beneficiaries called for the exemption of adults with special health care needs from mandatory enrollment in managed care plans. When Congress declined to broaden the exemption, leaders in both parties tried to find ways of protecting those beneficiaries most vulnerable to receiving inadequate or poor-quality care in managed care programs.
Congress instructed then-HHS Secretary Donna Shalala to conduct a study concerning safeguards necessary to ensure that the health care needs of individuals with special health care needs and chronic conditions who are enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations would be adequately met by the legislation.
That study, published in November 2000, "Report to Congress: Safeguards for Individuals With Special Health Care Needs Enrolled in Medicaid Managed Care," included "individuals with serious and persistent mental illness/substance abuse" as one of six groups with "special health care needs and chronic conditions." The report made 24 recommendations that covered issues for those groups such as access to experienced clinicians, quality monitoring, payment incentives, and coordinated and continuous care.
Many of those recommendations were incorporated in the rule developed by the Clinton administration and issued in January of 2000 as a final rule. The CMS, under the newly elected Bush administration, delayed implementation of that rule and proposed significant changes, which were presented by Thompson in August. Crowley noted, "Most of the provisions of the January 2001 final rule that would implement these recommendations have been eliminated from the August 2001 proposed rule."
In defense of the changes, Thompson said, "[The] previously issued rule went far beyond what Congress intended with the Balanced Budget Act, and its excessive mandates actually threatened beneficiaries' access to care under Medicaid. The new proposed rule will ensure that states have the flexibility they need to protect patients while protecting the programs they may already have established."
The 60-day comment period ended October 19. CMS will review comments submitted before issuing a final rule, due next year. ▪

1994 Corsica Won't Start
1994 Corsica Won't Start
It was at that point when I pushed against the wire that my car died.
I did notice that a vacuum hose line had cracked and broke, so I replaced it. Car still won't start. We've figured out that it's getting gas... it's just that it seems that there's no spark.
I was just wondering if it's possible that it made a short in the wiring somewhere or if there was another issue that could be keeping my car from starting.
We've also checked the fuses and the wiring that was involved and they seem to be fine.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Sneed: Jacksons' furs, celebrity memorabilia go to auction
By Michael Sneed September 16, 2013 5:30PM
A black mink jacket with silver fox fur cuffs that belonged to Sandi Jackson is up for auction Sept. 17. Photo from U.S. Marshals
Article Extras
Updated: October 18, 2013 6:21AM
At the auction . . .
It's a tour de fur auction starting Tuesday for former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Sandi, who are awaiting federal jail time.
◆ To wit: An auction preview of furs purchased by Sandi Jackson and paid for with campaign donations — which earned her a year in prison — went on the Internet on Monday.
◆ Fur lure: The Jackson's collection of fur coats, which ought to give the animal activist group PETA a conniption fit, is being offered by the Texas auction house of Gaston & Sheehan on behalf of the U.S. Marshals' office.
◆ Celeb items: The auction, which begins online Tuesday and lasts until Thursday, also includes nine pieces of framed Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee memorabilia belonging to Jesse Jackson Jr.
◆ Nice price: Sandi's red cashmere cape with black mink trim; brown cashmere cape with brown mink trim; sheared mink jacket with silver fox sleeves, and black sheared mink hooded parka, all from Beverly Hills furrier Edwards-Lowell and bought in a one-day shopping spree in November 2009, are up for grabs.
Here are the prices Sandi originally paid for the furs:
◆ $1,500 for the black and red cape. Starting bid: $215.
◆ $1,200 for the parka. Starting bid: $260.
◆ $800 for the brown cashmere cape. Starting bid: $115.
◆ $1,500 for the black mink with silver fox sleeves. Starting bid: $260.
Among Jesse's purchases up for auction is a guitar signed by Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen, which he purchased for $4,000, and eight other pieces of memorabilia.
It is not known what happened to the elk heads.
Pulling the plug . . .
Getting dissed: Did you know that ABC's George Stephanopoulos was invited to interview President Bashar Assad in Syria last week — only to have the interview abruptly canceled once he left the U.S.? Now you do.
The three amigos . . .
It's no secret that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden, who are old pals, are both eyeing the nation's top job in 2016.
◆ Soooooooo, Sneed hears, is Secretary of State John Kerry, who is hoping a successful job engineering the U.S. out of the Syrian debacle will steer him into the White House.
◆ The turn of the screw! Consider this comment made by veep Biden over the weekend in Iowa, the home of the nation's first presidential caucus — where Biden made no mention of his good pal Hillary — and referred to her successor, Kerry, as "one of the best secretaries of state so far in the history of the United States."
Will's way . . .
A royal ranting: Prince William, the second in line to the British throne, was only obeying orders when he decided to leave the British military:
◆ Translation: Will's grandmother, England's Queen Elizabeth II, is the sovereign who is head of the armed services in Great Britain. "She now feels it is time for her grandson to start learning the ropes," said a Sneed source. "Besides, it will keep him out of harm's way and give him a little extra time to spend with his new family."
I spy . . .
Da Bears' Robbie Gould and Jay Cutler stopped by Chicago Cut after the team's win Sunday, where they were applauded as they walked into the dining room. . . . Actress Michelle Pfeiffer, who is starring in the movie, "The Family," was in for dinner at Gibsons Steakhouse with her husband, David Kelley, on Sunday. . . . Former Chicago Cubs player Billy Williams, former White Sox coach Ozzie Guillen, former White Sox pitcher Steve Trout and the great Minnie Minoso had dinner Sunday at Gibsons . . . ditto singer Debbie Gibson.
Sneedlings . . .
Tuesday's birthdays: Phil Jackson, 68; Kyle Chandler, 48, and Nate Berkus, 42.

Greetings fellow Tumblrers! Today's post comes to you in four parts, so lets go!
Part 1: Sorry
No, not that one
That's it
Okay, so I know that I was meant to have done this post last week, and am very sorry that I did not. There are all kinds of reasons, but none of them really explain anything, so I'm just going to apologise. Sorry. But hey! We're back now! So lets get on
Part 2: The Criteria
Our judges aren't this mean…honest…
So as we've been discussing over the last few months, the judges are going to have criteria by which to judge this contest. You're not going to be sending off your submissions to them blindly, we are going to have a system. And its my privilege now to be able to reveal to you part of that system. I will say that this isn't the whole thing, because we are still in the process of discussing some parts of it, but this is most of it by a long way. So without further ado, here are the criteria that you will need to be thinking about when you write your story for the contest.
S.P.A.G. W.C (Spelling, Punctuation, Aesthetic, Grammar, Word Count) – 10pts max
Does the story go over the word count? (5-20 words over -1pts, 21-40 words over -2pts, 41-60 words over -3pts, 61-80 words over -4pts, 81-100 words over -5 pts, >100 words over -10pts)
Are there spelling mistakes? Are they minor/major? Are they frequent? Do they distract from the story? (both British and American spelling will be accepted BUT they must be consistent throughout)
Are there punctuation mistakes? Are they minor/major? Are they frequent? Do they distract from the story?
Are there aesthetic mistakes (in context this means malformed paragraphs – things like no indenting etc, is a new character's speech always on a new line etc.)
Are there grammar mistakes? Are they minor/major? Are they frequent? Do they distract from the story?
Exact pointing system here is at the judge's discretion – Minimum = 0pts (The only way to get this is if practically every word is spelt wrong, and grammar/spelling/aesthetic/punctuation errors are ubiquitous, or if word count goes more than 100 words over length)
Writing/Style – 10pts max
Is there a consistent writing style?
Does the style fit the story?
Is there a specific writing voice?
Is there wide use of vocab? Is the vocab level used appropriate to the story in question?
Does the language flow?
Exact pointing system here is at the judge's discretion – Minimum = 1pts
Character development – 10pts max
Are the characters believable? Are they fully fleshed out? Are the three-dimensional? Do their motivations make sense?
Does the dialogue make sense? Does it seem believable?
Are accents (if present) portrayed believably?
Exact pointing system here is at the judge's discretion – Minimum = 1pts
Plot development – 10pts max
Is there a strong plot?
Does it keep the pace well?
Does it interest the reader enough to keep reading for reasons above and beyond the fact that they have to?
Are the events of the plot believably strung together?
Exact pointing system here is at the judge's discretion – Minimum = 1pts
Originality – 10pts max
Is the story an original take on the theme?
Are the characters more than tropes?
If the story does use tropes, does it use them in an engaging/interesting way?
Exact pointing system here is at the judge's discretion – Minimum = 0pts (if the story is, in the judge's opinion VERY obviously lifted from another story, without any kind of original take)
Side note – if the story is fan-fiction (using characters/setting/exact elements from an established franchise) it is automatically disqualified.
Theme/Prompt – 10pts max
Does the story use the theme/prompt?
Is the theme/prompt central?
Is the theme/prompt used in an interesting way?
Exact pointing system here is at the judge's discretion – Minimum = 0pts (Only to be given out if the story has NOT followed the prompt AT ALL)
This gives you a total score out of sixty currently. There will be one or two more sections for the final version of this, I expect, but at the moment, those particular ones are not all that relevant because of part three.
Part 3: A practice run
As I promised, we will be doing a practice run at this point. A small version of the contest where I give you a prompt and you guys have to write a story to that prompt within the time limit of say two weeks (that gives us time to do this again before the real event).
Before we get into what the prompt actually is, lets just discuss how we will be doing submission and judging this time round. This time, to let you all have a feel for both writing and judging, to get you familiar with the criteria etc, we're not going to be asking the judges for help directly here. What we're going to be doing is judging each others work. After this post, I'll be putting a smaller post with just a photo or two and a few lines of description.
If you're wanting to submit a story to the practice run, please reblog the post and include a link to a tumblr post, where we can read that story afterwards (if you don't want to post the entire story on your tumblr itself, then in the reblog post a link to a tumblr post containing a link to where the story can be found).
Once you have done that, have a read though some other peoples stories and if you want to judge theirs, reblog their tumblr posts and add the score you would give, outlining each section's points and then their points overall.
So to summarise
1. Reblog the short post coming after this post.
2. Include in the reblog a link to a tumblr post either containing, or directing us to, your story
3. Read other peoples stories on their blogs
4. Reblog them, including your judgements based on the criteria contained within.
On the seventh of April, I'll be announcing who won, based on a mean average of everyone's scores. So please, to make the contest as fair as possible, please be taking part.
Now for the part you've all been waiting for though, the practice run's prompt. And the prompt is…
Part 4: Prompt
The prompt is…
That's right. In this practice run, I'm wanting you to write me a 1000-3500 word story about a battlefield. Before you start writing though, I want you please to have a little read of what I have to say here.
It doesn't have to be a real battlefield. It can be real, but it could also be entirely made up. It could be in Africa, Europe, North America, Narina (okay, not actually Narina, see the fan-fiction rules, but somewhere fantastical), Saturn, the horse head Nebula, the pond across the road, anywhere. But it has to be/has to had to have been/must one day be, a battlefield.
That's another important point. The battle doesn't actually have to be happening in the story. Maybe the battle was a long time in the past, or maybe it will happen in the future. That's not the point of the prompt. The prompt is that it has to somehow involve the battlefield.
Even furthermore, if you feel that I've somehow let you down because you are no good at writing war stories, or even stories that involve wars, or armies or generals or fighting like that, take heart. I never said that it had to be a military battle. It could be the site of some particularly important confrontation of ideologies. Maybe its the hall where some great debate took place, or a very important, or perhaps not so important court battle. Or maybe its a couple, who look back at a particularly heated fight they had a long time ago, and where it took place. Maybe it isn't looking back, maybe its something else. Maybe it's the site of a long standing family dispute between two groups. Maybe its… all kinds of things.
The point is, the prompt is very broad. The only one negative piece of advice I would say, is not to let the battle overshadow the battlefield in the prompt. By which I mean, keep the setting, and the importance of the place, as a theme, important. Don't let it simply become a story about a battle. That's too easy. Make where the battle happens an important part of the story. What does it mean, how does it change things? All those sorts of thoughts.
So get writing! You have until 7th April to write and judge stories. Therefore, the sooner you get them in, the more people will be able to judge them.
Away you all go! Best wishes, God Bless and, of course DFTBA!

Alien Overnight Robin L. Rotham Commander Kellen is on Earth recruiting women for his planet's sex-starved males. Not particularly excited by human anatomy, he seeks nothing more for himself than the occasional slaking of his needs with some anonymous female-which shouldn't be a problem, since she'll have to face the other way to accommodate his special anatomical needs. Dr. Monica Teague is thrilled with her ten-year assignment caring for Garathan's sexual recruits. Her quirky looks and childish excuse for a body guarantee she'll never be expected to put out-which is kind of a bummer, now that she's up to her armpits in horny alien beefcake. But, when an overdose of alien pheromones makes Monica drunk off her ass, Kellen quickly claims the odd little doctor before another Garathani realizes what she is. The overdose sparks a violent chain reaction in her, and when Monica finally wakes, she's got the body of a porn star-and two sexy alien mates who are determined to tame her. If only she were as determined not to let them.

Cures for Afflicted Children
In an age of disease, child labor has consequences. An eleven-year-old tasked with cleaning the bathrooms at LeConte Elementary School came down with whooping cough as a result, according to his mother. As she points out, "bathrooms are health hazards," particularly ones in elementary schools, which are essentially factories that specialize in the production of terrible and exotic diseases.
The child's mother does not note, curiously, that according to numbers from the Department of Public Health, four percent of students at LeConte Elementary were exempted by their parents from getting vaccinations for whooping cough. Hrm. Fortunately, there are plenty of remedies for whooping cough that should satisfy even the most fervent opponent of vaccination:
• "dipping the persons affected nine times in an open grave"
• "hanging the head of a child out of the window of a train going through a tunnel"
• "take a dead beetle, hang it around the neck of a child with whooping cough and as the bug rotted away, the cough vanished too"
• "pass the child through the arched roots of a bramble bush"
• "feeding afflicted children either roasted or fried mice";
• "give the afflicted a piece of bread made by a woman who has successively married two men, both of whom shared the same last name"
• "drinking milk a trout has been made to swim in"
•"feed the hair of the sick baby to a dog, hiding the hair in bread and butter [and] if the dog dies, the baby will recover"
Be well.
