The line stretched half a mile.
The place was a sardine can. I'm sure they broke fire code.
DVD madness.
Consumers began lining up 12 hours early for the 5am opening of Circuit City the day after Thanksgiving. The shoppers were after deeply discounted laptops, plasma TV's and digital cameras. Most people waited hours to get in, and then hours more waiting in line to check out.
These pictures were shot between 4:30am and 5:30am. People are nuts.

My broken left (phew!) thumb, top bone (distal phalange).
CT Scan of head
CT Scan - 1mm cut top to bottom
CT Scan - 3mm cut front to back
A quick TO from the newspaper stuff for a minute. I broke my thumb playing football last week and hurt my eyelid. Good news is my eyes are fine, and the thumb will be healed in a few weeks without a cast or surgery. I'll be back to shooting full time and posting to the blog on Monday.
In addition to the thumb x-rays, I got a CT scan for my eyelid thing. The radiology image techs gave me a CD-Rom with thousands of images of the inside of my head in 1mm and 3mm slices. You can watch "fly through" animations of your brain, sinuses, eyes, and skull. It's amazing.
Anyways, I put these stills up because I was awestruck by the medical imaging they can do these days and how abstract and strange the images are. Sorry if anyone is "grossed out", but we all pretty much look something like this underneath when the scanner peers inside us…

Joseph O'Maley, 17, tries not to slip and fall while rounding up turkeys for harvesting on Cibola Farms near Culpeper on November 14, 2006. The farm raised about 350 turkeys, Bourbon Red and Broad Breasted White varieties this year. They will be selling them directly to consumers from the farm and at local farmers markets in the area beginning this weekend.
Feature Hunting….The editors were down with a funny picture instead of just the standard "process shots" of guys carrying turkeys to a truck. Sometimes you take a photo that's not great compositionally, but is just plain funny. Emotional content and body language beat out composition here (i.e. top vs. bottom)

Virginia Republican Senator George Allen gave a concession speech in Alexandria on November 9th, 2006. By electing to forgo a recount in the close race, Allen conceded the election to Democrat Jim Webb, giving the Democrats control of the U.S. Senate for the first time in twelve years.
I like these shots because they're all like right before he actually speaks. You can see the defeat and humility in his face.

A photo-illustration for a story on a bumper crop of acorns, and the growth expected form them next year. Worked with a designer on this one to give space for the story text to go.
I filled a small fishtank about halfway with topsoil and dropped in the acorn and a oak tree leaf. Lit with a snooted top light, and a green gelled sidelight. I like using the fishtank to show cross-sections of things. I've heard of people using tanks for shooting in swimming pools, but I'm not ready to risk my camera for that shot yet!

February is the month everyone starts thinking about roses. Valentine's Day recently was celebrated and it is one of the biggest days of the year for roses, a favorite of Georgia gardeners.
To grow roses successfully, extra care has to be given, but the rewards are worth the effort.
When starting a rose garden, pick a site that provides sufficient sunlight, good soil and good air flow. These factors are of utmost importance if the roses are going to do their best.

Though relatively calm in recent months, episodes of violence against teachers by special-needs pupils seemed to spike last school year.
Incident reports from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office noted at least six such pupil-on-teacher violent episodes dating back to December 2009:
• At Greenbrier Middle in December 2010, a special-needs pupil grabbed a teacher by the hair and pulled her across a classroom floor while punching and kicking her.
Scholar, musician, athlete and activist all describe Augusta Preparatory Day School senior Erin Brousseau.
Now, the 18-year-old can add STAR Student to her list.
Brousseau earned the honor by notching the school's highest SAT score, 2270, for this year and ranking in the top 10 percent of her class.
"Erin is the reason programs like STAR Student exist," said Augusta Prep math teacher Tim Shafer. "Erin not only earned that recognition, she deserves it. Students like her should be recognized for their accomplishments."
Trial in water-plant shooting continues
The murder trial of Thomas Eugene Bradford of Hephzibah continued into a fifth day Friday.
Jurors heard closing arguments before beginning deliberations in the case, with prosecutors calling Bradford a "hothead" who shot Columbia County Water Utility worker Raymond Lee after a fight over an overloaded sludge trailer. Defense attorneys characterized the shooting as an accident.
Columbia County officials recently increased the fees to residents who surrender their pets to Animal Services.
Commission members approved an ordinance change Tuesday that allows Animal Services to now charge $30 for the initial pet surrendered and $10 for subsequent pets. Previously, pet owners were charged $25 for the first pet and $5 for subsequent pets.
Pet owners will now need to show proof of vaccinations before releasing animals to Animal Services.
Evans Towne Center Park might get its own Web site this week.
Columbia County Community and Leisure Services Director Barry Smith said he soon hopes to launch www.evanstownecenterpark.com.
Visitors to the site can take a virtual tour of the park, review park information and rules, read information on other county venues, see a calendar of events, and peruse a photo gallery of past events.
For concert promoters, the Web site will contain rental and technical information on the Lady Antebellum Pavilion and other county venues, Smith said.
Soon after Jim March arrived as the new assistant chief for the Harlem Department of Public Safety, he experienced a culture shock.
"I was at an accident and people out there were bringing me hot cocoa," March recalled. "They wanted to make sure I was OK.
"I like that feeling of being part of a community."
March, 45, said he never experienced that kind of connection with the public during his stints with the sheriff's offices in Columbia and Richmond counties.

All cooks with a hankering for barbecue are invited to test their skills at an inaugural barbecue cookoff in March.
Members of the men's ministry at Kiokee Baptist Church are seeking individuals and groups to sign up by March 3 for the inaugural Kiokee Kooker's BBQ Cookoff,
The event is scheduled for 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 10 at the former J.D. Howell's store on the corner of Ray Owens and White Oak roads in Appling.
"It's all about the bragging rights and who cooks the best barbecue," said Keith Price, an event organizer.

The mother of a famed disappearance victim warned Augusta Preparatory Day School students Friday about the dangers of overseas travel.
"One thing I will do is carry her story for the rest of my life," Beth Holloway said of Natalee Holloway in a video clip she played prior to a speech to the Martinez private school's high school students.
Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005 during a graduation trip to Aruba with classmates from Mountain Brook High School in Alabama.

"Mustang Affair" Heading to Burleson, Texas, June 3-5
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wild Horse & Burro Adoption Program, will hold its first ever "Mustang Affair" in Burleson, Texas, June 3-5, at the All Star Equestrian Arena (6601 FM 2738).
It'll be a weekend full of fun, food, entertainment and education. The centerpiece of the event will be a wild horse and burro adoption. Over 50 spectacular animals will be available to the public. These are adult and yearling horses and burros that once roamed free on public lands in the West. It's all part of BLM's mission to protect and preserve wild horses and burros as iconic symbols of America's western heritage. Admission is free.
Other activities planned during the three-day event include equine training demonstrations, horse care workshops, and dog adoptions hosted by the Humane Society of North Texas. Many local vendors will be on hand. There will be door prizes for attendees, and horse adopters will be entered into a drawing to win a free saddle.
Wild Horse & Burro Adoption Schedule
Gates open Friday, June 3, at 8 a.m. for the public to preview the animals. Adoption begins with a competitive bid at 10 a.m. First-come-first-served adoptions follow until 6 p.m., then again Saturday, June 4, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, June 5, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Adoption Qualifications
Application approval is required and can be done on site. To qualify to adopt, one must be at least 18 years old with no record of animal abuse. Adopters must have a minimum of 400 square feet of corral space per animal, with free access to food, water and shelter. A six-foot corral fence is required for adult horses, five feet for yearlings, and four-and-a-half feet for burros. All animals must be loaded in covered stock-type trailers with swing gates and sturdy walls and floors. BLM staff will be on hand to assist with the short application process, answer any questions and load horses.
Adoption Fees
The standard adoption fee is $125, as set by law. Bidding will start at that amount.
$500 Adoption Incentive
BLM pays a one-time $500 care-and-feeding allowance to adopters of horses that are at least four years old. The allowance is paid in full after one year when adopters receive official ownership title for their horse(s). All standard adoption conditions and fees apply. A limited number of eligible horses will be available at this event. Younger horses, burros and trained animals are not eligible for this incentive.
Wild horses and burros – iconic symbols of America's western heritage – are renowned for their strength, endurance, agility and intelligence, characteristics bred into them in the wild that make them ideal for work or recreation. Since 1973, theBLMhas placed more than 220,000 of these "living legends" in approved homes across the country.
The BLM manages more land than any other Federal agency – over 245 million acres. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The BLM accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources, including wild horses and burros.

"A critical ingredient to reporting unduplicated audiences across platforms at scale is having census-level big data assets that provide enough common touchpoints to determine audience overlap," said Serge Matta, comScore President of Commercial Solutions. "comScore's two-year focus on investing in, and building out, this massive, unmatched data is now enabling us to turn multi-platform complexity into actionable data for our clients. The granularity of our mobile data is second to none and will serve as the bedrock of our ability to deliver value to clients as they navigate the dislocation created by mobile platforms."
comScore, founded in 1999, became a public company in June 2007, and today has offices in 23 countries. The company captures over 1.3 trillion interactions monthly.
comScore has listed some of the benefits of leveraging substantial sample sizes from comScore's multi-platform data sources as:
- Accurate determination of cross-platform audience overlap across multiple device types.
- The ability to scale multi-platform reporting to an expanding number of media devices without the sample size constraints of using a single-source panel.
- Detailed reporting of media consumption for a large number of media properties within each media universe.
- Enhanced geographic reporting of audiences and campaign delivery by local market.
- Improved ability to perform statistically reliable campaign analysis for multi-variable audiences.
comScore's Chief Analytics Officer Tim Lemmon said de-duplicating audiences across multiple device platforms had been one of the most significant recent metrics challenges facing publishers and advertisers in a medium where screen-independent digital solutions are proliferating. comScore's Media Metrix Multi-Platform, he said, represents a big step as it had provided the company with a much improved understanding of AOL's large and unique video- and mobile-centric audience segments.
comScore's analysis helps brands and agencies to maximize the value of their digital investments across different media channels.

The class Insecta comprises more than half of all known species. Not just animal species. Species. Period. That is a fuckton of bugs right there.
When we say 90% of all living things in the entire world are insects, that other 20% is counting all known plants, microorganisms and insect relatives like arachnids and crustaceans. Insects, and JUST insects, may theoretically represent 90 out of 100 living species that we know of. You and your dog and your goldfish and your rubber tree are bullshit compared to insects. You're a blip. A speck. A nothing. You exist only to feed some of the insects. Get used to it.
Now, despite their mind-blowing diversity, insects generally follow the same basic body plan: the head has a set of antennae and a mouth, the thorax has six pairs of legs and frequently two pairs of wings, and the abdomen does all the pooping and fucking. Inside is a brain, a heart, a digestive system and a bunch of weird gooey bug blood called hemolymph. Insects usually breathe through pores along the sides of the abdomen called spiracles, and may have taste buds on the bottoms of their feet, which is why they like to do a little dance routine on your potato salad.
Of course, if there's one thing evolution loves throwing, it's curveballs. Some insects have no wings, some have no eyes, some have lost their legs, some use their antennae as claws...you just never know how they might bastardize their already-alien anatomy.
As if that wasn't enough, some insects see fit to change shape a couple times. While some insect groups undergo "incomplete metamorphosis" and hatch as little baby versions of the adults, other groups undergo "complete metamorphosis," beginning as worm-like larvae geared completely towards eating, undergoing an immobile pupal stage for a while and emerging from the pupa as the adult, geared more towards reproduction. In many species, the larva may represent the majority of the insect's lifespan, with the adults living only just long enough to have sex and lay eggs.
There are many, many different orders of insect. We don't want to put you to sleep here, so we're just going to run down a few of the most major players:
So remember what we said about almost everything on Earth being an insect? Well, at some point during creation God just sort of said "fuck it, I am ALL about beetles now" and never looked back. 40% of insects are beetles. There are fucking trillions of beetles in this world, in every shape, size and color you can imagine, though a few things are usually consistent with these guys.
The surest sign of beetledom are the "elytra;" these are actually the front pair of wings, but evolution has hardened them into a pair of rad flip-up doors to protect the rear pair of fold-out "flight wings." This gives many beetles a sleek, domed appearance. Once again though, there are always exceptions; some degenerate beetles have lost the ability to fly and may have elytra completely fused together or no wings at all...but if it doesn't look particularly like any other sort of insect, you can still assume it's a beetle and be right nearly half the time.
Coleoptera are also one of the complete metamorphers; ALL baby beetles are larvae, appropriately known as "grubs."
"Bugs? You mean all of them?" you ask from the shadows of your sloping brow. No, our poor ignorant reader, the word "bug" is actually supposed to have a meaning as specific as beetle, fly or bee; bugs are insects of the ancient order Hemiptera, sort of the go-bots to Beetle's transformers.
Bugs can look a lot like beetles at first glance, though they only have a half-ass imitation of elytra; the front wings are always leathery and membranous, and the tips fold overtop one another when closed. They're also much older than beetles, a distant second in diversity (roughly 80,000 bugs to 350,000 beetles) and only undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, with babies resembling wingless adults,
Some bugs, however, look absolutely nothing like beetles; they might be fly-like, louse-like or cockroach-like. They really are a sort of all-purpose insect, so the overuse of their name might be a little justified. Stinkbugs, bedbugs, waterbugs, aphids and cicadas are all Hemiptera, so what do these weirdos even have in common?!
The bug's most obvious claim to fame is its neat little switchblade beak. While beetles and most other insects have complex mouths with gnashing mandibles and multiple gripping appendages, bugs have fused all those bells and whistles into a single, sharp spike. Herbivorous bugs use this to suck the juices from plant life. Predatory bugs (like this wheel bug) inject prey with a digestive enzyme and slurp out the guts. Many non-bugs are also liquivores, but tend to have more complex contraptions. The sucking mouth of a mosquito, for instance, consists of several paired drilling appendages.
Ants, bees and wasps all belong to the order "Hymenoptera" ("Membranous Wing") and include the only insects with a venomous stinger as well as the only insects besides termites with a "eusocial" lifestyle, the famous queen/hive arrangement. This doesn't necessarily mean that they're ALL a bunch of swarming, stinging assholes, of course.
Famous for pollinating flowers and making delicious honey out of their spit, only a portion of bee species are actually colonial; many live the solitary lives of more typical insects, and a majority of species don't even have stingers at all. Bees, colonial or otherwise, are of incredible importance to life on Earth as nature's leading experts on pollination. Most modern plant life produces flowers specifically to communicate with bees, enticing them with nectar only to coat them in pollen, the plant equivalent of spunk. By mixing up pollen from one flower to the next, bees allow plants to have long-distance sex and produce seeds. Bees are just remote-control plant dicks.
A colony of bees forming an eskimo, a common defensive posture
Commonly viewed as the rat-bastards of the insect world, Wasps are almost as widely feared as spiders. Besides some of their incredibly nasty stings, the wasp group also includes the majority of Earth's "parasitoid" animals; creatures whose larvae live as parasites before slaughtering and eating their host from the inside-out, directly inspiring the "ALIEN" films. Once again though, most of them are harmless to humans, either unable or uninterested in stinging us and serving a pretty big role in the world as nature's bug police (see: the 5 most hated creatures on the planet don't deserve it)
While beetles have them vastly outnumbered for species, ants may very well be the world's truly dominant animals; their sheer numbers surpass almost anything and everything else, every single species lives in a highly organized and sophisticated colony, and even predators like spiders and mantises will generally avoid them; if you fuck with one ant, you fuck with a thousand, and other insects are so aware of this that many bugs defend themselves simply by looking ant-like.
This is actually an ant-shaped spider. We wish we were kidding.
Your basic ant society begins with a mating flight; a winged male and a young, winged queen. After just a single fit of passion, the male drops dead and the female - knocked up for life - drops her wings and settles down to start a new colony. The eggs she continually pops out will hatch into barely-mobile, maggotlike larvae and eventually develop into either all-purpose worker ants or big, badass soldier ants. All of these little cogs are female and the queen's own pheromones keep them sterile. Combined, the ants function more like a single "superorganism" with thousands of bodies, all working in harmony to maintain the colony, collect food and fend off attackers.
...or build bigger ants.
Like any insect, this basic setup is built upon by all sorts of crazy adaptation, perhaps moreso than any other single group of insect. There's almost no end to their eerily human behavior; there are species that grow crops of fungus and species that "milk" herds of plant-lice. There are ants that enslave and brainwash ants from other colonies. There are parasitic ants that invade another colony, castrate their queen and lay their own eggs to slowly usurp the whole little civilization. The aptly named "Dracula" ants live off their own helpless larva, fattening them up on prechewed food just so they can suck their blood, allow them to heal and do it all over again. Alright, so maybe that one isn't too human. We certainly fucking hope it isn't, anyway.
The insects who seem to offend the fewest people (though this doesn't seem to be saying much), the Lepidoptera include the butterflies, moths and some weird third thing called a skipper, which differs from the other two in little technical ways you probably don't care about. This group is the single most famous example of insect metamorphosis; everybody knows that caterpillars turn into butterflies. It's the subject of the single most-read children's book of all time.
Now, most people probably think of butterflies and moths as "counterparts"...butterflies are the colorful, flapping daytime bugs and moths are the fuzzy, crawly nighttime version. In reality, of the 180,000 some species of Lepidoptera, at least 120,000 are moths, including both day-time and night-time moths. Butterflies are just some hippie weirdos who evolved in more recent eons.
Lepidoptera life cycles are usually completed in under a year, with most of their time spent in the caterpillar stage. The caterpillar exists solely to stockpile nutrients, eating and crapping without interruption for as long as food is in reach (see also: your mom). All this energy storage allows the caterpillar to survive for several months in a pupal cocoon or chrysalis, breaking down into goop that eventually re-organizes into a winged adult. While the larvae are eating machines, the grown-ups are, of course, fucking machines. In some species of moth, the adult doesn't even have a mouth or digestive tract; it rides those last scraps of energy for a few weeks of wild sex shortly before death.

National study of exposure to pesticides among professional applicators: an investigation based on urinary biomarkers.
Summary of "National study of exposure to pesticides among professional applicators: an investigation based on urinary biomarkers."
Epidemiologic studies of pesticides have been subject to important biases arising from exposure misclassification. Although turf applicators are exposed to a variety of pesticides, these exposures have not been well characterized. This paper describes a repeated measures study of 135 TruGreen applicators over three spraying seasons via the collection of 1028 urine samples. These applicators were employed in six cities across the United States. Twenty-four-hour estimates (μg) were calculated for the parent compounds 2,4-D, MCPA, mecoprop, dicamba, and imidacloprid and for the insecticide metabolites MPA and 6-CNA. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the urinary levels of these pesticides, whereas mixed models were applied to describe the variance apportionment with respect to city, season, individual, and day of sampling. The contributions to the overall variance explained by each of these factors varied considerably by the type of pesticide. The implications for characterizing exposures in these workers within the context of a cohort study are discussed.

John Reekie, photographer; printed by Alexander Gardner
American, Cold Harbor, Virginia; negative April 1865; print 1866
Albumen print
6 13/16 x 8 15/16 in.
This gruesome scene depicts the unpleasant job of burying the remains of fallen Union soldiers from the June 1864 battles of Gaines' Mill and Cold Harbor. This task has fallen to a group of black men doing the menial work while a white man standing at upper left acts as overseer. The man seated in the center, next to the stretcher laden with human parts, looks directly at the camera, revealing no emotion that can be reconciled with his grisly cargo. Already reduced to nothing more than a pile of bones, these bodies lay unburied for ten months until the war's end, while the blistering heat and humidity of the Virginia summer hastened their decomposition. Local residents usually came forth to give a proper burial to the enemy troops that fell near their homes, but the scale of the casualties here--nearly sixty thousand Union soldiers were killed or wounded in this area--precluded this courtesy.

continuous eligibility for categorically needy children's medical
Revised June 20, 2014
Who is eligible to receive Categorically Needy (CN) Children's Medical?
What CN Medical Coverage Groups are tracked?
How is CN Children's continuous medical eligibility tracked in ACES?
When does ACES automatically authorize F06 CN coverage?
When does ACES automatically authorize F07 CN coverage?
When won't the system automatically trickle/sprout to continuous medical coverage?
How are children who are continuously CN eligible identified from regular F06 clients?
How is the certification date set when there are multiple children on the F06 AU?
What happens to a child's continuous range when Add-A-Person is completed?
What is the Eligibility Review process for CN continuous clients on F06?
What happens if the F06 review is not completed?
How can I close an AU that was opened in error and should not be tracked?
How do I access the CTCN screen?
What information is displayed on the CTCN screen?
Who is eligible to receive Categorically Needy (CN) Children's Medical?
· Children who have been determined eligible for CN medical are eligible to receive a full 12 months of CN medical coverage regardless of changes in the circumstances or the household the child is associated with.
· For more information see the following WACs::
o WAC 182-505-0210 Washington Apple Health - Eligibility for children.
o WAC 182-504-0015 Washington Apple Health - Certification periods for categorically needy (CN) programs.
o WAC 182-504-0125 Washington Apple Health - Effect of reported changes.
What CN Medical Coverage Groups are tracked?
· ACES tracks each child's certification in the following CN medical coverage groups:
C01 - COPES/Categorical Needy Home Services
F07 - Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
P04 - Non-Citizen Pregnancy
· Each recipient child in the above medical coverage groups will be tracked for a 12-month potential continuous range. This will be based on the begin date of the certification period. The potential range end date is the child's begin date plus 11 months, it is not based on the number of months the client received coverage.
· A child will retain this CN eligibility regardless of the assistance unit the child is associated with at any point during the most recent 12-month certification.
How is CN Children's continuous medical eligibility tracked in ACES?
· The system will automatically track a child's 12-month continuous CN Medicaid coverage based on the begin date of the AUs certification period.
· The Children's Tracking CN Medicaid CTCN screen will track a child's CN Medicaid date ranges.
When does ACES automatically authorize F06 CN coverage?
· At a child's termination or denial, the system will look at the start date of their most recent period of CN certification. If the elapsed time is less than 12 months, continuous eligibility rules will apply.
· Children under 19 years of age will automatically trickle to CN continuous F06 medical coverage for the remainder of twelve months continuous coverage when an assistance unit in one of the following CN medical coverage groups closes:
F01 - AFDC Cash CN (Prior to 10/2013)
P04 - Non-Citizen Pregnancy
· The system will allow children receiving continuous CN Medicaid eligibility to jump (trickle/sprout) from one medical track to another after the current trickle/sprout logic is applied.
When does ACES automatically authorize F07 CN coverage?
· When a child is closed off an F07 AU that does not result in continuous eligibility, the system will continue to track continuous F07 eligibility. If the child is reopened on medical during the 12 month tracking period, and the household's income exceeds 200% of the FPL, the F06 AU will trickle to an active F07 AU.
When won't the system automatically trickle/sprout to continuous medical coverage?
· The system will not auto trickle/sprout a child to the F06 program when the child is removed from the AU or the AU closes for any of the following reason codes:
RC 200 - Undocumented Children and Non-Qualified Alien Medical Ineligibility
How are children who are continuously CN eligible identified from regular F06 clients?
· The STAT and ELIG screens will display a [Y] as the indicator in the CC - Continuous Coverage field to identify an F06 child eligible due to CN Medicaid 12-month tracking. The CC column displays on the F06 medical coverage groups and shares the same location as the OP - Optional Children field used for the F07 children with premiums.
· This field will also be displayed in aces.online on the Assistance Unit >> Household Member page.
How is the certification date set when there are multiple children on the F06 AU?
· When there are multiple children on the F06 or F07 AU with different continuous ranges, the AU certification end date is set to the earliest of the continuous end dates.
· When there is not an associated F07 AU, only the child reaching their certification period end date first will receive an eligibility review for the F06.
What happens to a child's continuous range when Add-A-Person is completed?
· When a child is added to one of the tracked medical coverage groups and becomes an active recipient, the begin date of the tracking is the begin date on the new certification period for that child.
· A new potential continuous range will be created for the added client(s) only.
· Each added recipient child gets their own complete 12-month potential range, and the original AUs certification end date does not impact this.
What is the Eligibility Review process for CN continuous clients on F06?
· An eligibility review will be sent for F06 AUs when there is no associated active F07 or F99. The batch process that sends reviews for AUs works the same for continuous children on F06 AUs. See the Eligibility Review/Recertification Process Chapter.
· There is one exception, if the client's financial responsibility code is [SC] - Child of SSI Related Parents/Child used to determine household size on an Active F07 AU with the same HOH, the review will be suppressed.
· The eligibility review should not be initiated before deadline in the calendar month prior to the month in which the review is due. If reviews are initiated early, the certification period will be incorrect.
· If the F06 AU is reviewed and stays F06, all recipient children will get a new 'potential continuous range' using the new certification period and will become regular F06 with no continuous indicator.
What happens if the F06 review is not completed?
· If the review is not completed (either because there is a related F07 and no review sent, or the client doesn't send in the required information), the client(s) who's continuous range is ending will be closed out of the F06 AU. ACES then resets the ending certification date to the next earliest date for any remaining children.
· If a related F07 AU exists, with same Head of Household (HOH), the child's financial responsibility code on the F07 will change from [SC] - Child of SSI Related Parents/Child used to determine household size to [RE] - Recipient.
· If the client that is getting closed out of the F06 AU is the HOH, they will stay Active [A] status but their financial responsibility code will change to [IP] - Ineligible Person.
How can I close an AU that was opened in error and should not be tracked?
· Reason Code 535 - Error in Initial Eligibility - Removed Continuous Tracking for Child can be used to manually close a CN Medicaid AU that was opened in error.
· When the AU is closed with Reason Code 535 - Error in Initial Eligibility - Removed Continuous Tracking for Child, the system will remove the most recent AU segment being tracked.
· Reason Code 535 can be entered in the ongoing month only.
· Users will need to add mandatory freeform text giving the reason for termination as Reason Code 535 will not add any text to the Letter 006-01 (Termination for AU) or Letter 006-08 (General Termination of Benefits for an Individual).
How do I access the CTCN screen?
The CTCN screen can be accessed in the following ways:
1. From the AMEN screen, in the Selection field, enter [2] - Children's Tracking CN and enter the [Client ID] in the Client ID field.
2. From the CLLI screen, enter a [Y] in Select column next to the client and press <F13>.
3. From the Welcome Back page in aces.online, use the Quick Navigation section to do the following:
o Enter a [Client ID number] in the Enter an ID box.
o From the Select a Page drop down box, click on the Children's Tracking CN Medicaid option.
4. From the Client >> Summary page, the Children's Tracking CN Medicaid option will be included in all client level inquiry pages under Details submenu.
What information is displayed on the CTCN screen?
· This screen displays the CN Medicaid AU,
o CN MEDICAID AU - The AU number under which the client is receiving, or has received CN Medicaid Coverage and has been tracked by the system will be displayed.
o POTENTIAL CONTINUOUS RANGE - The range start date plus 11 months calculates the range end date. Continuous range is 12 months regardless of the original AU certification period.
o PREM TIER LEVEL and END DT – The premium Tier level an F07 recipient is "locked" into and the date the Tier level will end.
o REMOVED - The date Reason Code 535 was used; the CN Medicaid range is no longer tracked and will not be considered for continuous coverage.
· The CTCN screen is an Inquiry screen only and not part of the data collection screen flow. No fast path or remarks are allowed on the screen.
· Paging is allowed when more data exists and the most current tracked period will appear at the top of the list.

'Dirty Water' singer battling stage 4 cancer
The lead singer of the band The Standells, who Red Sox fans know for the song "Dirty Water," is battling stage 4 cancer.
Dick Dodd's condition was posted on his Facebook page last week with a note saying, "Dick has been hospitalized with stage four cancer of the esophagus, spleen, liver and spine." The cancer was also found in his brain.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with the 68-year-old's medical expenses.
"He is undergoing treatment, fighting the disease and determined to perform again," according to his page.
"Dirty Water," an anthem for Red Sox Nation, is listed in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll."

The restaurant and foodservice industry is one of the most diverse in the United States. It employs more minority managers than any other industry. Women represent 55 percent of the restaurant workforce, and more than a fourth of all foodservice managers are foreign-born.
The National Restaurant Association is proud of the industry's diversity. And we hope to inspire further inclusion through the fifth annual Faces of Diversity Awards program. In partnership with PepsiCo Foodservice, the Faces of Diversity Awards program honors individuals in the restaurant industry who have realized the American Dream through hard work, determination and enterprise.

TxDOT To Break Ground On Safety Improvements for FM 878 Project funded through the Proposition 14 Safety Bond program
WAXAHACHIE - The Texas Department of Transportation will break ground in November on a new project in Ellis County to make safety improvements to FM 878 from U.S. 287 in Waxahachie to FM 813 in Palmer.
The 8-mile long project includes "safety widening" by building 3-foot shoulders and resurfacing the highway. Driveway culverts that do not already have sloped safety-end treatments will have them added. New pavement markings will be applied, including a profile shoulder stripe which gives discernible warning of improper vehicle lane position.
Because the road is only two lanes, one in each direction, lane closures will involve flaggers and a pilot vehicle to lead traffic around whatever section of roadway is being worked on. The lane closures will occur daily between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
F.T. Woods Construction Services, Inc. of Georgetown is the contractor on the $6 million project.
This project was chosen to be funded by Proposition 14 Safety Bonds. These bonds were approved for issue by the Texas Transportation Commission in 2008 and are backed by the state highway fund. This project was selected for funding to improve the safety features of FM 878 and help prevent run-off-the-road type accidents.
The project is expected to be substantially complete by June 2013.
For additional transportation related information, please visit the TxDOT Web site www.txdot.gov.

- Gems and Minerals of the Southwest
- By Jennifer Sano , Jeffrey A. Scovil. Rio Nuevo Publishers. 95 pp. Index. $14.95.
- A geologist and photographer team up on a beautifully illustrated basic guide to over 90 minerals.
- Getting Away with Murder on the Texas Frontier: Notorious Killings and Celebrated Trials
- By Gordon Morris Bakken, Bill Neal. Texas Tech University Press. 328 pp. Index. $18.95.
- A compilation of historical events showing how justice in the old West was often highly subjective and had little basis in law.
- Ghost Ranch: And the Faraway Nearby
- By Craig Varjabedian. University of New Mexico Press. 128 pp. $45.00.
- I have heard it said that for each person there is some special place, some conglomeration, or lack thereof, of trees, sky, desert, mountains, water that speaks somehow to the private self. Ghost Ranch, northwest of Abiquiu, New Mexico, is a place that has been that special place of attraction for multitudes including, of course, Georgia OKeeffe who made it her home place for decades. And Varjabedian has done justice to it in presenting 91 black and white, full-page images that show its stark beauty, mostly without signs of human habitation. An essay by Belden C. Lane speaks to the question of sacred landscapes and Douglas A. Fairfields essay on Varjabedians aesthetics of imagery, though it comes last in the book, would in fact be an excellent piece of reading before looking at the images. [ ]
- Gila Country Legend: The Life and Times of Quentin Hulse
- By Nancy Coggeshall. University of New Mexico Press. 280 pp. Index. $29.95.
- Historian Durwood Ball describes the late Quentin Hulse as "the real thing"; readers of this eloquently written biography of the New Mexico rancher, hunter, guide, and outfitter will quickly understand why. Coggeshall, Hulse's companion during his twilight years, has assembled a moving portrait of the man that never descends into hagiography. Rather, what emerges from her recollections, interviews, and painstaking research is the story of a southwestern original, complete with the full complement of flaws and shortcomings, who nonetheless did the right thing as he saw it and was of one piece with the land he inhabited. Coggeshall has produced a rare thing: an uncommon testimonial to a common man. [ ]
- Glass of Water, A
- By Jimmy Santiago Baca. Grove Press. 240 pp. $23.00.
- Baca brings to his first novel all the passionate intensity that infuses his award-winning poetry and autobiographical writings. Two brothers - one angry and rebellious, the other thoughtful and committed to the land - fight in their own ways to overcome injustice and prejudice until the search for their mother's killer unites them in a common cause. Baca offers a bracing, no-holds barred view of immigrant field workers and their stuggles to carve out a piece of the American dream from a landscape where "a glass of water is the most important thing." [ ]
- Golondrina, Why Did You Leave Me?: a Novel
- By Bárbara Renaud González. University of Texas Press. 176 pp. $24.95.
- This multi-generational saga spins along at break-neck speed, and yet at times poetically. The narrator, Amadas daughter, is compelled to tell her mothers story: marriage to a brutal man in north eastern Mexico at age 13, escape across the Rio Grande, and three weeks later a marriage to a Texan...and away we go. Her new husband, the love of her life, is the heir to a heritage: he wants to take back the thousands of acres stolen by Richard King to become part of the fabled King Ranch. Aiii! [ ]

- This book was a great disappointment. I was looking forward to learning about the trading business over three generations in New Mexico. Unfortunately, those nuggets were hard to find because Kennedy used the opportunity to write a personal family memoir, filling the pages from from edge to edge with Courier type. The book needed an editor and a good designer.The photo on the cover was out of focus. [ ]

- Great Basin, The: People and Place in Ancient Times
- By Catherine S. Fowler, Don D. Fowler. Santa Fe, N.M. : School for Advanced Research Press. 166 pp. Index. $24.95.
- The Great Basin is a large area in the heart of the American West that is notable for having streams and rivers that do not reach the sea: they drain into basins like the Great Salt Lake, most of which evaporate into dry salt pans. When latter day settlers arrived, they discovered scattered oases with good water where people could survive, and claimed it for themselves. Modern archeologists have found evidence of an even more remarkable story: the habitation of this dry desert by humankind goes back for millennia. This very readable book is part of a series published for popular audiences by the School for Advanced Research Press in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Written by a selected group of archaeologists who are experts in the region, it tells the fascinating story of what science has learned so far of the peoples who have inhabited this region during the past 13,000 years.

These stunning images must rank among the best youll find anywhere: a memorable and exciting visual treat. [ ]
- Guarding the Border: The Military Memoirs of Ward Schrantz, 1912-1917
- By Jeffrey L. Patrick, Ward L. Schrantz. Texas A&M University Press. 205 pp. Index. $29.95.
- This is the memoir of Ward Schrantz, a US Army soldier stationed along the Texas-Mexico border during the hey-day of Venustiano Carranza and Pancho Villa. He tells the human side of serving in military outposts and tent encampments. He candidly, and without complaint, tells the realities of sleeping on army cots and trying to keep dry under G.I ponchos. His camp humor, such as sneaking into Nuevo Laredo against orders, mixes with sympathetic character sketches or his bunkmates and even his sergeants. When in 1917 the US joined the battle of WWI, Schrantz was sent to the Meuse-Argonne offensive in France, and he later served in WWII. This is an excellent duty tour of soldier life, backed by Jeff Patricks thorough background research. [ ]
- Actually, there were fewer scrapes and fewer battles during the time Ward Schrantz served with the U. S. Army to keep peace along the Texas-Mexico border during the Mexican Revolution. Here is a good memoir that describes how the army worked, traveled, ate, and lived during an interesting period in history. By the way, It is a good read. [ ]
- Guitars and Adobes, and the Uncollected Stories of Fray Angélico Chávez

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Knowing Your Risk and Taking Action
By Kara Eldridge, Operations Manager, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer – Washington, DC
In October, folks across America and the world will be enveloped in a sea of pink. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here, and there are so many ways to help, get involved and take action in your own workplace.
After losing my mother to breast cancer in 2000 I knew I wanted to be a bigger part of these initiatives. Twelve years later I find myself in Washington, D.C. as the Operations Manager for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer helping women and men fundraise and train for a 39.3 mile journey over just two days.
This is a series of weekend fundraising events in support of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade. Since its founding in 1992, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and awarded more than $700 million worldwide for access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved. Funding supports five key areas:
- awareness and education
- screening and diagnosis
- treatment
- support services
- scientific research.
The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and awarded more than $700 million worldwide for access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer with a focus on the medically underserved.
The 2013 Avon Walk series takes place in eight cities from April through October, with the Washington DC event taking place May 4th and 5th. (The 2012 Avon Walk Washington DC raised over $5 million!) Avon Walk participants work hard all season to train for this marathon walk – a distance of 26.2 miles or 39.3 miles and will fundraise at least $1,800 in order to participate. Preparing for this event is no easy task, and walkers require a variety of goods and services to help them along the way.
Participants come back again and again to be a part of this tight community, whether it's as a walker, crew member or volunteering. It has been remarkable to see people from all walks of life come together to support one cause for one weekend out of the year.
At the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer we want to encourage women and men all over the world to be proactive and know your risks when it comes to breast cancer health and pre-screening. Startling statistics come out year after year and while we continue to advance research we must still look for a cure and help those in our community who are uninsured and underserved.
A few facts you may not know:
- Every 3 minutes another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer.
- Every 14 minutes someone loses their life to this disease
- An estimated 39,520 women and 450 men will die this year alone
- There are more than 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the US
- The survival rate when breast cancer is detected early is 97%.
- The Avon Foundation for Women has been a resource and force behind these impressive results.
Encourage employees and staff to take action!
October is the perfect time to encourage employees and staff to take action in a number of ways:
- Help spread awareness for the cause. Choose one day or even a week to wear pink or even a breast cancer ribbon. Most local organizations can provide these. Just call and ask.
- Fundraise for a local breast cancer organization. Allow staff to dress down every Friday in the month of October for $5. Donate all of the proceeds to the non-profit of your choice.
- Volunteer at a local breast cancer event as a business. Local groups are always looking for assistance and this is a great way to employees to get together and make a difference.
- Start a team and participate in a local event. Rest assured there are activities happening every weekend in the month of October to raise awareness and much needed funds. Bring your staff together and run or walk a 5K.
- Become a partner with a breast cancer organization. Non-profit organizations are always looking for businesses to come on board as sponsors or to provide Matching Gifts (employees make a donation that employer will match that gift in full).
There are endless opportunities and countless resources to learn more and help in the fight!

How to Keep Curls in Your Hair
So, you love your curly hair but you've got a tough time keeping it curled. Unless you want to be using rollers every day, you'll have to figure out a way to protect your hair. Here is how.
1Curl your hair. Make sure that you don't make it too loose, or it may come out, even with hairspray.Ad
2Use hair spray, and spray around the curls, don't get too close to your hairline.
3Be careful that you don't do too much rough housing, it may ruin the curls, or even make you look like you have bed head!
4Remember when you go to school, or have plans, bring a mini hair spray bottle in your purse, in case the curls start to come loose.Ad
We could really use your help!
raising children?
married life?
CD covers?
- Spraying too much hairspray in your hair makes it look artificial, so try not to use too much.
- Buy the same mini hairspray as the big bottle you used at home. Two different kinds can smell bad, and even damage your hair!
- Always use hairspray after you've curled it. If you apply heat to the chemicals from hairspray it can cause damage.
- Touching your hair a lot or brushing your hair may ruin the curls.
- If it does become "bedhead" while you're out on the town, make a quick stop at a bathroom, and brush it down. It's also smart to have a hairband to put it in a ponytail so it looks neater. Although, there really isn't much you can do with it now.
- Sometimes using a curling iron in hair damages it so try to avoid the curling iron and use soft foam curlers
Things You'll Need
- Curling iron or soft foam curlers or bobby pins
- Hairspray (big bottle & mini bottle)
- A brush

Although the maximum coverage claim is open to debate, without question this cream concealer is excellent in most respects!
Housed in a sleek compact is an extremely smooth concealer whose slightly thick texture is a pleasure to blend. It doesn't magnify pores or dry patches(but those with dry skin will want to prep with moisturizer or serum) and it provides medium to nearly full coverage with a beautiful, skin-like finish. Its only drawbacks, which were more fully realized after the original review, are that it creases slightly into lines around the eye and tends to fade after a few hours of wear.
Arden offers three shades, all of them wonderfully neutral. The darkest shade (Deep) isn't for truly dark skin tones, but the lighter shades are workable for fair to medium skin tones. This concealer is great for disguising dark circles as well as for muting redness or minor discolorations, although its creamier formula makes it iffy for use over acne-prone areas.
Former nurse Elizabeth Arden was a pioneer in the beauty industry. At the turn of the 20th century, Arden began her legacy when she opened her first salon, with the now-familiar red door. Over the next several years she introduced new products and services to women unaccustomed to such choices, and almost single-handedly made it acceptable for modern women to wear makeup. And while Arden understood and met these beauty needs, she was also adept at self-promotion and packaging, helping to solidify the idea that what holds the product should be as beautiful as the woman who uses it. She was the front-runner in the cosmetics industry for quite some time, until another young go-getter by the name of Estee Lauder began her own empire—one that would eventually lead to the Elizabeth Arden line being almost an afterthought in the mind of many consumers.
Not only has Arden's image been diminished over the years due to odd distribution patterns (consumers were getting mixed messages as this prestige line began showing up in drug and discount chain stores), but also through their own formulary mistakes and seeming unwillingness to pay attention to current research. Given the history of this line and several outstanding products they've produced in the past, it's very frustrating that what's offered today is such a mishmash of good and bad, with a hefty dose of average. Arden still has several sunscreens that fall short by leaving out sufficient UVA protection. In contrast, Estee Lauder and the Lauder-owned lines have their sunscreen acts together and consistently impress by including other state-of-the-art goodies to amplify the environmental protection of their moisturizers.
Many of Arden's products also contain potentially problematic ingredients or are packaged in a way that puts the light- and air-sensitive ingredients at risk of breaking down shortly after the product is opened. Given Elizabeth Arden's (the woman) pioneering, innovative spirit, we can't imagine her being completely pleased with the state of her namesake skin-care line (Arden passed away in 1966). Having the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones as a spokesmodel for most of the early 2000s may have raised more interest in this brand than in years past, but a pretty face and eye-catching ads don't always translate to good skin care, as evidenced by the reviews on this site. There are some very impressive products in this line, but it's definitely one that demands careful attention to what you're buying lest you put your skin at risk.

Elizabeth Arden Makeup
Cosmetics trailblazer Elizabeth Arden may have been single-handedly responsible for bringing modern makeup to American women (she opened the famous Red Door Salon in 1910 and formulated the first blush and tinted powders in 1912), but today's lineup of Arden makeup has far more disappointments than its pioneering namesake would have liked. Most of the Arden foundations with sunscreen either leave out the five prime UVA-screening active ingredients or because their SPF numbers are unnecessarily low. Either way, only one of the foundations with sunscreens can be relied on as your sole source of facial sun protection.
In contrast to the mostly disappointing foundations, you'll be pleased with what Arden offers for concealer, eyeshadow, lipstick, and mascara. Each of these categories has some brilliant products to consider, and they serve to prove, at least to a modest extent, that Elizabeth Arden makeup is not to be counted out just yet. The remaining products have little to extol, either because they are truly ineffective or because the competition has Arden beat by a mile. A continual bright spot for Arden is that their tester units are typically well organized and the colors are grouped so it's easy to zero in on what you like.
I've tried so many concealers in my search to find the "perfect" one. I'm not sure it exists! At age 52 I have fine lines and some crepiness under my eyes. Most concealers tend to emphasize this and end up looking cakey. This concealer does a decent job of covering the darkness, but looks very natural/smooth on the skin and doesn't emphasize dryness. When you apply it sparingly, and lightly dust with powder, it doesn't settle into fine lines. I would say this one is near perfect!

Gun thief gets 5 years of probation
HARTFORD — A state man who stole a gun from a shop that legally sold a rifle used in the Newtown school shooting was sentenced Tuesday to five years of probation.
The U.S. attorney's office said Jordan Marsh, 27, of South Windsor, was sentenced in Hartford for stealing a 5.56mm Windham Weaponry semi-automatic rifle from Riverview Gun Sales, in East Windsor, three days before the December 2012 Newtown shooting.

Amid the gazillion funny memes and weird photos on Reddit, a fascinating thread has caught our eye. User slyfox007 asked: "Parents of reddit, what do they leave out of the parenting books? What follows is the some of the funniest, most surprising and bang-on parenting advice we've ever read. Here are some of the best of the bunch:
You will not be raising children.You are raising an adult.
You are raising adults. Don't forget this. It is so easy to confuse "taking care of" your children with "doing everything" for them. Even very young toddlers can do many things for themselves. They can carry their own bags to preschool. They can set their own table (if you keep their plates and cups in a low cabinet). A 4-year-old can spread her own butter on toast. —User Fletch
There is such a thing as blowouts.
Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. It's sh*t coming out of the seams in the diaper because of positioning of the baby vs. amount of sh*t coming out at that time. Mostly it ends up their back, but sometimes you'll get some seepage out of the legs. At first I thought we had plenty of baby clothes, but I soon realized that they can go through a lot of clothes from these blowouts. —User DontBeSuchAnAnnHog
Just how angry you can get at a baby when you're sleep-deprived. You hear "never shake a baby" all the time and before you have a baby you can't imagine what kind of monster would ever shake one. Then you have a baby and you're running off minimal sleep one month in a row and the baby just won't stop crying and you get tempted to bounce the baby just a little too hard. —User TheGreatPastaWars
With that being said, never shake a baby.
The baby doesn't have sound reasoning and sure, figuring out why the baby is crying can be impossible. Tried to feed the baby, still crying. Changed the diaper, still crying. Sang a song, made soothing noises, walked around, rocked, etc., still crying. You're going to get angry at the baby. Just remember…just a baby. No shaking. Not even if you dressed the baby up as a maraca.
The biggest thing I wished I knew is this.
When babies are born, they come out pasty white (assuming they are Caucasian). They pink up when they start to breath air, but when they come out they are about the same colour as the underside of a fish. I honestly thought I was looking at a dead baby for the worst 20 seconds of her life, until she started to cry and turned pink. —User Slimpkin
While I'm in my early-20s and without kids, my father gave me a piece of advice and told me to say yes to everything you can.
Say yes to the late concerts, say yes to the sleepovers, say yes and yes and yes some more and say it as much as you can. Because, he explained, when you have to say no, it'll be for a good reason, one you hope your child will respect.
When I look back on my childhood and adolescence, my parents gave me freedom to do whatever I pleased within reason. I wanted to dye my hair to match the guys on the soccer team? Sure thing. I wanted to stay out for another fifteen minutes with the kids on my block? You bet. It made me realize, at a young age, that my parents treated me like an adult and if they thought I shouldn't do something, it was for a good reason. —User gq_mcgee
Baby boners.
It tripped me out when I was changing my eldest's diaper and he had raging morning wood. —User Mescacakanisnapesis
The absolutely mind-numbing tedium.
There is no way to convey how boring your child will sometimes prove to be. It doesn't matter how much you love them. When they ask you to repeat the same idiotic game with them—without variation—for the 30th time at 4:00 on a weekday afternoon...you will simply want to die. —User EarnedSecurity
When you have an ultrasound and they say it's a boy the odds are pretty good they are right.
If they tell you it's a girl keep the tags on all the clothes you get at the shower cause that little trouble maker might just be tucking it between his legs. Yes, my son was supposed to be a daughter. We found out just how wrong that ultrasound tech was when he arrived with a penis instead of a vagina. —User Seanbikes
You will think to yourself: "why did I have kids!?" it happens.
It doesn't make you a bad parent, but it feels weird afterwards because then they do some cute move or smile at you and it makes you feel like you're the most important person in the world for those three seconds. Then they poop. —User I_promise_you_gold
That it can be hard to stay the adult.
Teenager has attitude? Says hurtful things? Makes choices you wish were different? You still need to be the adult, love them, keep calm, do right by them. Sometimes NOT turning into an angry, emotional teenager is difficult. —User Dverd76
