U.S. employers added just 36,000 jobs to payrolls in January, well off the 150,000 that experts had been expecting.
The unemployment rate fell to 9% in January from 9.4% in December, however, that was due in large part to 504,000 fewer people looking for jobs, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
If people working part time who want to work full time and people who want to work but have given up looking are included, the unemployment rate was 16.1%.
One piece of good news was that the government revised its employment numbers for November and December upward. The BLS said there were 93,000 more people on payrolls in November rather than the 71,000 initially reported. In December,121,000 jobs were added, an increase of 18,000 over the initial report.
Experts blamed January's poor showing in large part on bad weather. Construction, in particular, got hit, with 32,000 fewer people working. Transportation and warehousing employment, which is also subject to the weather, fell by 38,000.
Sophia Koropeckyj, a managing director at Moody's Analytics, noted that 916,00 workers reported they were not at work last month because of the weather compared to the 343,000 average in January over the last 10 years.
Still, the government's numbers were unexpectedly low and ran counter to other indicators that suggested hiring is picking up. ADP, the automated payroll company, said Wednesday that its records showed 187,000 private sector jobs were created in January.
Esmael Adibi, an economist at Chapman University, said even if weather wasn't that big a factor and the construction and transportation jobs were added back, the total is still nowhere near the 150,000 to 200,000 that had been expected.
He also pointed out a contradiction between the payroll numbers, which are reported by employers, and the separate household survey, in which people are called at home and asked about employment. The household survey showed 117,000 more people claiming to be employed. This reflects self-employment.
Adibi said it may be that more people are being hired on a contract basis, so they are working but they aren't officially on payrolls.
"I would read this whole report with a lot of caution," Adibi said.
Here's how some of the sectors fared in the BLS report:

It seems like a long ways off, but in reality the return of our Ferris State University students to campus, for the fall semester, will be here before we know it.
As a result, plans for Fall 2010 Welcome Back Week (Aug. 23-27) already are in the works here at Ferris. The theme is "Student Success: Leaving Nothing to Chance."
Here is a note being distributed around campus:
Fall 2010 Welcome Back Week -- Events You Don't Want to Miss!
"Student Success: Leaving Nothing to Chance"
Aug. 23, 25
A rich and varied set of sessions -- from panel discussions to poster presentations to working sessions -- is planned for these two days. More details are forthcoming.Get involved in this great opportunity as we look forward to the return of students for the Fall 2010 semester.
In the meantime...
We invite faculty and staff to submit proposals for poster presentations on the topic of national and Ferris best practices and exemplars of successful student retention efforts. The poster session will complement the other activities planned for the "Student Success: Leaving Nothing to Chance" event.
The poster session, which is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 23, from 2:45 to 3:30 p.m., is designed to provide faculty and the broader University community an opportunity to learn about effective student retention efforts both nationally and at Ferris. We hope the examples described in the poster session provide ideas and strategies that others, in turn, can adopt or adapt for use in meeting their specific student retention challenges. Of course, we would like you to be present during this session to discuss your poster with those in attendance.
We hope you will consider submitting a proposal with the following information:
Please submit your proposals by e-mail to email@example.com by July 9. Notification regarding acceptance will be July 16.
- A title
- A description or summary (please aim for, say, 100 words) of how the topic of your poster addresses the theme of national or Ferris best practices and exemplars of successful student retention efforts.
Thank you for considering this invitation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either of us.
- Bill Potter, dean of University College, and Todd Stanislav, director of the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning

The final District 5-AAA regular season game Wednesday affected four teams and their seeds for next week's league tournament.
A 10-4 victory over McMinn County by 5-AAA newcomer East Hamilton (19-13, 9-3 District 5-AAA) gave the Hurricanes the No. 1 seed as they tied with Bradley Central (17-11, 9-3) for the regular season title, but earned the top spot due to the tie-breaker formula.
Wednesday's outcome at Chattanooga State also dropped McMinn County (11-16, 2-10) into the No. 7 seed for the postseason, elevating Walker Valley (10-18, 2-10) into the sixth spot.
The district tournament will be played at Ooltewah's A.C. "Bud" Ball Field beginning Wednesday with the fourth-seeded host Owls (15-12, 7-5), which won the tournament last year, taking on No. 5 Cleveland (10-18, 5-7) in the opener at 5 p.m. Third-seeded Soddy-Daisy (14-14, 8-4) will tangle with Walker Valley in the nightcap at 8 p.m.
A pair of games is scheduled for May 1, but the order of the contests won't be determined until after the Ooltewah-Cleveland opening-round contest is finished.
"We have 'Class Night' that Thursday evening, so if we win the opener, we need to play the early game or else we'll be minus-11 players," explained tournament director and Owl head coach Brian Hitchcox.
If the Blue Raiders win the opener, they will play East Hamilton in the nightcap, but if the Owls are victorious they will face the Hurricanes at 4 p.m. on May 1.
The other pairing for that day has Bradley taking on McMinn County, either at 5 or 8 p.m., depending on the Owl-Raider outcome.
Two more games are set for May 2, with the Bear-Cherokee and Trojan-Mustang losers playing the first elimination game at 5, while the victors will meet in a winner's bracket semifinal at 8 p.m.
A trio of contests is slated for May 3, but once again Ooltewah has a conflict that could affect the order in which they are played. "We have prom that night, so we need to play the early game," related Coach Hitchcox.
That Saturday's schedule has elimination games planned for 1 and 4 p.m., with the winner's bracket championship to highlight the night at 7 p.m.
Should the Owls fall to Cleveland in the opening round, they would be in the originally planned 1 p.m. game against the loser of Game 5. If they beat the Raiders but then fall to East Hamilton, then they would face the winner of Game 6 and that game would have to be shifted from 4 to 1 p.m. If Ooltewah wins its first two games, the winner's bracket final will move from 7 p.m. to the opening contest of the day, and the other games will be adjusted.
"We'll just have to play it by ear and see how things happen, and adjust the game times from there," remarked Coach Hitchcox.
The tournament will hold single-elimination games on May 5 and 6 before holding the championship tilt on May 7 at 4 p.m., with a second title game to follow if needed.
"Our district is very tough with every team capable of getting hot and advancing to the region. Just look at last year," declared Bradley head coach Travis Adams.
In 2013, Soddy-Daisy was the No. 7 seed in the district tournament, but knocked off three higher seeded teams in a row to earn the runner-up trophy and move on to the region event.
The top two teams in the district tournament will advance to Region 3-AAA play on May 12 with the region title game set for May 14 and the TSSAA Sectional contests planned for May 16.

Wi-Fi base stations are 802.11a/b/g/n access points that include AirPort Extreme Base Stations, AirPort Express, and AirPort Time Capsule. "Wi-Fi router" is a generic term and includes Wi-Fi base stations and third-party 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi access points.
Before configuring or adjusting specific settings, perform the following steps:
- Ensure that your Wi–Fi router's firmware is up to date.
- If you are using a Wi–Fi base station, refer to this article for information on how to update it.
- Verify that all Wi–Fi devices you intend to use support the settings recommended in this article.
- If possible, back up your current Wi–Fi router's settings.
- If necessary, refer to the product documentation or manufacturer's website.
- Forget or remove the Wi-Fi settings for your network from any devices that connect to your Wi-Fi router. (This will prevent the devices from attempting to connect to your network with the old configuration.) You will need to reconnect these devices to your network once you've finished applying the new settings.
Configure all Wi–Fi base stations on the same network with the same settings. Not doing so will cause connectivity and reliability issues. On dual-band Wi–Fi base stations, configure both bands to have the same settings unless otherwise noted below.
Use the following settings for maximum performance, security, and reliability.
|SSID (Service Set Identifier—Wi-Fi network name)
|Set to
|Any unique name.
|The SSID, or network name, identifies your Wi-Fi network to users and other Wi-Fi devices. It is case sensitive.
|More details
|Choose a name that is unique to your network and is not shared by other nearby networks or other networks you are likely to encounter. If your router came with a default SSID (network name), it is especially important that you change it to a different, unique name. Some common default SSID names to avoid are "linksys", "netgear", "NETGEAR", "dlink", "wireless", "2wire", and "default", but there are others. If your SSID is not unique, Wi-Fi devices will have trouble identifying your network. This could cause them to fail to automatically connect to your network, or to connect to other networks sharing the same SSID. In addition, it may prevent Wi-Fi devices from using all base stations in your network (if you have more than one Wi-Fi base station), or prevent them from using all available bands (if you have a dual-band Wi-Fi base station).
|Hidden network
|Set to
|Hidden networks don't broadcast their SSID over Wi-Fi. This option may also be incorrectly referred to as a "closed" network, and the corresponding nonhidden state may be referred to as "broadcast" or "open".
|More details
|Because hidden networks don't broadcast their SSID, it is more difficult for devices to find them, which can result in increased connection time and can reduce the reliability of auto-connection. Note that hiding a network doesn't secure your Wi-Fi network, because the SSID is still available through other mechanisms. Security is enforced by a different setting (see Security below).
|MAC address authentication or filtering
|Set to
|Restricts access to a Wi-Fi router to devices with specific MAC (Media Access Control) addresses.
|More details
|When enabled, this feature allows a user to configure a list of MAC addresses for the Wi-Fi router, and restrict access to only devices with addresses that are in the list. Devices with MAC addresses not in the list will fail to associate to the Wi-Fi network. Unfortunately, device MAC addresses can be easily changed, so this cannot be relied upon to prevent unauthorized access to the network. Security should be enforced by a different setting (see Security below).
|Set to
|WPA2 Personal (AES)
|The security setting controls the type of authentication and encryption used by your Wi-Fi router. This setting allows you to control access to your wireless network, as well as to specify the level of privacy you'd like to have for data you send over the air.
|More details
|WPA2 Personal (AES) is currently the strongest form of security offered by Wi-Fi products, and is recommended for all uses. When enabling WPA2, be sure to select a strong password, one that cannot be guessed by third parties.
 If you have older Wi-Fi devices on your network that don't support WPA2 Personal (AES), a good second choice is WPA/WPA2 Mode (often referred to as WPA Mixed Mode). This mode will allow newer devices to use the stronger WPA2 AES encryption, while still allowing older devices to connect with older WPA TKIP-level encryption. If your Wi-Fi router doesn't support WPA/WPA2 Mode, WPA Personal (TKIP) mode is the next best choice.
 Note that the use of WEP is not recommended for compatibility, reliability, performance, and security reasons; WEP is insecure and functionally obsolete. However, if you must support legacy WEP devices and you have a newer (802.11n) Wi-Fi router, you may be able to select the WEP Transitional Security Network (WEP TSN) security mode. This mode will allow legacy WEP clients to join your network with WEP encryption while allowing newer devices to use more modern and secure encryption modes, such as WPA TKIP or WPA2 AES. If WEP TSN mode is not supported, then WEP128 with Shared Authentication should be used (with a single WEP key in key index 1). For compatibility reasons, WEP128 networks should use 13-character ASCII passwords.
 For reference, "None" or unsecured mode, provides no authentication or encryption. If you use this security mode, anyone will be able to join your Wi-Fi network, use your Internet connection, or access any shared resource on your network. In addition, anyone will be able to read any traffic you send over the network. For these reasons, this security mode is not recommended.
 Note: Due to serious security weaknesses, the WEP and WPA TKIP encryption methods are deprecated and strongly discouraged. These modes should be used only if it is necessary to support legacy Wi-Fi devices that don't support WPA2 AES and cannot be upgraded to support WPA2 AES. Devices using these deprecated encryption methods will not be able to take full advantage of 802.11n performance and other features. Due to these issues the Wi-Fi Alliance has directed the Wi-Fi industry to phase out WEP and WPA TKIP.
|2.4 GHz Radio Mode
|Set to
|This setting controls which versions of the 802.11a/b/g/n standard the network uses for wireless communication on the 2.4 GHz band. Newer standards (802.11n) support faster transfer rates, and older standards provide compatibility with older devices and additional range.
|More details
|Routers that support 802.11n should be configured for 802.11b/g/n for maximum speed and compatibility. Routers that only support 802.11g should be put in 802.11b/g mode, while those that support only 802.11b can be left in 802.11b mode. Different Wi-Fi routers support different radio modes, so the exact setting will vary depending on the Wi-Fi router in use. In general, enable support for all modes. Devices will then automatically select the fastest commonly supported mode to communicate. Note that choosing a subset of the available modes will prevent some devices from connecting (for example, 802.11b/g devices will be unable to connect to a Wi-Fi router in 802.11n-only mode). In addition, choosing a subset of the available modes may cause interference with nearby legacy networks, and may cause nearby legacy devices to interfere with your network.
|5 GHz Radio Mode
|Set to
|This setting controls which versions of the 802.11a/b/g/n standard the network uses for wireless communication on the 5 GHz band. Newer standards support faster transfer rates, and older standards provide compatibility with older devices and additional range.
|More details
|Routers that support 802.11n should be configured for 802.11a/n mode for maximum speed and compatibility. Routers that only support 802.11a can be left in 802.11a mode. Different Wi-Fi routers support different radio modes, so the exact setting will vary depending on the Wi-Fi router in use. In general, enable support for all modes. Devices will then automatically select the fastest commonly supported mode to communicate. Note that choosing a subset of the available modes will prevent older devices from connecting (for example, 802.11a devices will be unable to connect to a Wi-Fi router in 802.11n-only mode). In addition, choosing a subset of the available modes may cause interference with nearby legacy networks, and may cause nearby legacy devices to interfere with your network.
|Set to
|This setting controls which channel your Wi-Fi router will use to communicate. "Auto" allows the Wi-Fi router to select the best channel automatically. You can also manually select a channel.
|More details
|For best performance, choose "Auto" mode and let the Wi-Fi router select the best channel. If this mode is not supported by your Wi-Fi router, you will need to manually select a channel. You should pick a channel that is free from other Wi-Fi routers and other sources of interference. Refer to this article for information about possible sources of interference.
|2.4 GHz channel width
|Set to
|20 MHz
|Channel width controls how large a "pipe" is available to transfer data. However, larger channels are more subject to interference and more prone to interfere with other devices. A 40 MHz channel is sometimes referred to as a wide channel, with 20 MHz channels referred to as narrow channels.
|More details
|Use 20 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Using 40 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band can cause performance and reliability issues with your network, especially in the presence of other Wi-Fi networks and other 2.4 GHz devices. 40 MHz channels may also cause interference and issues with other devices that use this band, such as Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, neighboring Wi-Fi networks, and so on. Note that not all routers support 40 MHz channels, especially in the 2.4 GHz band. If they are not supported, the router will use 20 MHz channels.
|5 GHz channel width
|Set to
|Both 20 MHz and 40 MHz
|Channel width controls how large a "pipe" is available to transfer data. However, larger channels are more subject to interference, and more prone to interfere with other devices. Interference is less of an issue in the 5 GHz band. A 40 MHz channel is sometimes referred to as a wide channel, with 20 MHz channels referred to as narrow channels.
|More details
|For best performance and reliability, enable support for both channel widths. This allows devices to use whichever width they support, which results in optimal performance and compatibility. Note that not all client devices support 40 MHz channels, so do not enable 40 MHz-only mode; devices that support only 20 MHz channels will not be able to connect to a Wi-Fi router in 40 MHz-only mode. In addition, not all routers support 40 MHz channels; a router that doesn't will use 20 MHz channels.
|Set to
|Only one DHCP server per network
|The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns addresses that identify devices on your network. Once assigned, devices use these addresses to communicate with each other and with computers on the Internet. (The functionality of a DHCP server can be thought of as similar to a phone company handing out phone numbers, which customers then use to call other people).
|More details
|There should be only one DHCP server on your network. This DHCP server may be built in to your DSL or cable modem, a standalone router, or integrated with your Wi-Fi router. In any case, only one device should act as a DHCP server on your network. If more than one device has it enabled, you will likely see address conflicts and will have issues accessing the Internet or other resources on your network.
|Set to
|Only enabled on your router; only one device at most should provide NAT services on the network.
|Network address translation (NAT) translates between addresses on the Internet and those on a local network. (The functionality of a NAT provider is like that of a worker in an office mail room who takes a business address and an employee name on incoming letters and replaces them with the destination office number in a building. This allows people outside the business to send information to a specific person in the building).
|More details
|Generally, NAT should only be enabled on the device acting as a router for your network. This is usually either your DSL or cable modem, or a standalone router (which may also act as your Wi-Fi router). If NAT is enabled on more than one device—"double NAT"—you will likely have trouble accessing certain Internet services, such as games, Voice Over IP (VoIP), and Virtual Private Network (VPN), and communicating across the different levels of NAT on the local network.

The Proteomics Shared Resources (PSR) is an interdisciplinary unit that supports high-quality cancer research by providing technical expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation to the OSUCCC-James and the Ohio cancer research community.
The PSR supports standard proteomic assays and provides innovative collaborative research opportunities to enhance cancer-relevant studies. It offers cancer investigators the critical tools and expertise needed for identifying proteins, quantifying protein expression levels, discovery of protein modifications and protein biomarkers.
The resource offers cell lysis of cell pellets or protein extraction from cells, tissue or other biological media, protein quantitation, and can assist researchers in optimizing protein purification. Following protein preparation from cells or tissue, protein separation services using western blotting, 1D or 2D-PAGE techniques are available. The gels can be stained with various stains including Coommassie, Sypro Ruby, Deep Purple and Silver. Multiplex analysis by visualization of proteins and protein modifications using specialized fluorescent stains, and advanced gel image analysis are available to study phosphorylation, glycosylation and other modifications. Changes in protein expression levels are analyzed using Differential Image Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) which uses cy dye labeling. Recently the PSR has developed and implemented iTRAQ technology using the new LTQ-Orbitrap. iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation) is a non-gel based technique used to identify and quantify proteins/peptides from different sources in one single experiment by using isotope coded covalent tags that will label the N-terminus and side chain amines of peptides from protein digestions.Protein spots of interest can be determined following excision from the polyacrylamide gel, protease digestion, and nano LC-MS/MS analysis of the peptides on either a LTQ or LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Nano-LC/MS/MS is used to provide internal sequence of the protein and has many advantages over traditional MALDI analyses. We have found this method to be sensitive and powerful, producing numerous sequences from low fmole of material and enabling us to identify proteins for which peptide mass mapping by MALDI was unsuccessful. The Capillary LC system is capable of 2-D LC-chromatography for the analysis and identification for complex protein mixtures (global proteomics – MudPIT). The LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometer allows for high resolution mass analysis of peptides for accurate post-translational modification studies. The PSR's goals are to:
1. Provide a high-quality, affordable service for identifying proteins, protein modifications and protein biomarkers2. Provide consultative services and technical assistance in experimental design and implementation in protein sample preparation, separation and purification, as well as in image analysis, mass spectrometry and data mining3. Provide education and training for basic and clinical investigators in proteomics analysis applications and capabilities 4. Provide advanced methods of sample pre-fractionation prior to mass spectrometric analysis and protein identification5. Provide for the analysis of complex mixtures of proteins by 2D-HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry, especially for evaluating protein and chemical biomarkers for cancer and therapeutic regimens

In a non-medicated cycle, you typically only have one side that develops a follicle. And it does happen that sometimes even on a medicated cycle, that one side will respond stronger, even much more strongly than the other side. From what I understand, it's just something that happens sometimes. I don't think I would take it as an indicator of something wrong.

The Hardin County Sheriff's Office is investigating the drowning of Katelyn Snow-Marshall, 18, after the White Mills teen was found dead in a bathtub.Katelyn Snow-Marshall and her son, Connor. Katelyn died mysteriusly by drowning in bathtub...Officials said foul play is not suspected. Snow-Marshall's funeral is at 2 p.m. today at Cowherd and Parrott Funeral Home in Greensburg.Obituary information from the Green County funeral home indicates the teen had a son and was preparing for a career as a model.Sheriff's Office spokesman Greg Lowe said the sheriff's office responded just after 4:30 p.m. Friday to the teen's home at 276 Center Point Road in White Mills. Snow-Marshall had moved from Elizabethtown to that address a couple days prior, he said.According to the responding deputy's report, a relative in the home knocked on the bathroom door to notify the teen he was leaving to go pick up a child, Lowe said. At that time, Snow-Marshall responded.By the time the man returned, the teen's mother had found her unresponsive in the bathtub, Lowe said.Lowe and Deputy Coroner John Clemons agreed no foul play is suspected. Asked what indicated that, Lowe said there were no signs of struggle or drug use.Whether a medical issue might have caused the drowning is unknown, Lowe said, and will be answered in the autopsy report.Clemons said it's too early in the death investigation to speculate. An autopsy was performed Saturday, but the coroner is awaiting an official report and toxicology results.A 30-year veteran with the Hardin County Coroner's Office, Clemons said an accidental drowning in a bathtub is uncommon, but he has seen it in the county before.Lowe said the responding deputy was Marvin Rhinehart. The case is being investigated by the Sheriff's Office's Detective Rex Allaman.Visitation for Snow-Marshall begins at 10 a.m. today at the funeral home.

Family of murder victim talks; 2 suspects ID'd as sons of Owen officials
By Kayleigh ZyskowskiThe State JournalA Frankfort family wants to know why law authorities didn't investigate a report Saturday night of a suspicious object – which turned out to be the body of a loved one – until Sunday morning.Larry Monroe speaks about his brother, alleged murder victim Charles Monroe, while holding a photo of Charles' son Charles Jr.The body belonged to Charles Monroe, and officials found it dumped along the shoulder ramp of Interstate 64 from U.S. 127 around 9 a.m. SundayThe Monroe family says a friend, who asked to remain anonymous, dialed 911 – connecting to city dispatch – around 11 p.m. Saturday and gave the license plate number of a truck dumping what he thought was a body on the side of the road. However officials say they didn't know about the body until 9 a.m. Sunday.Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton said he didn't hear about the Saturday night call until late Monday morning."We are looking into that currently," Melton said over the phone and declined further comment because of the ongoing investigation.Police arrested three men in connection with the murder less than 24 hours after the incident was reported.Joshua Hammond, 31, who has been identified as the son of Owen County Sheriff Zemer Hammond, was arrested in Franklin County; David Bruce II, 44, who has been identified as the son of former Owen County jailer David Bruce and the brother of the current jailer Cindy Bruce Walker, was arrested in Owen County; and James Simons, 35, in Grant County. All three are charged with murder and robbery.The murder stemmed from an alleged "drug deal gone bad," Melton said Monday morning. The three men met Monroe in the Walmart parking lot on Leonardwood Drive to purchase prescription pills, Melton said.Deputies identified the suspects after conducting interviews early in the investigation, Melton said. Deputies found Monroe after responding to a call about a dead body, he said. He declined further comment.Tammy Cook, Charles Monroe's oldest sister, said Monday afternoon that the family friend saw – through his rearview mirror – two men dragging Monroe from the shoulder of the I-64 eastbound ramp from U.S. 127 through the grass."I guess they got scared when they seen him slow down, and they jumped back in truck and took off," she said Monday from the family's front porch on Skyline Drive where her parents live."You see it in the news, and you read about it about other families, but you never think it's going to come home to you," she said about her brother's death."He left behind all of us, and all of us hurt," said Larry Monroe, Charles Monroe's brother, while holding his 8-month-old niece. "This family is destroyed because of three cowards."Hammond, Bruce and Simons – who each pleaded not guilty via video arraignments Monday morning – are being held at Franklin County Regional Jail on $200,000 bonds, according to the jail website. Their next court appearance is slated for May 15 in Franklin District Court for preliminary hearings."I know my brother's done wrong, I know my brother was into drugs – I'm not denying that – but he did not deserve to be murdered and thrown to the side of the road and treated like a dog like this," Cook said."We need answers, because there is no reason for this."Monroe was indicted for sexually abusing a child under 12 and intimidating a witness in March 2011, according to court records. However his sister disputes the charges, because Cook says the accusations came from an angry ex-girlfriend.

Nashville (AP) -- State officials say Tennessee's new prescription drug program has reached its capacity for enrollment.
Nearly 21,000 people had signed up by February eighth, leading officials with the Cover Rx program to suspend enrollment. The program offers state-subsidized drug coverage for people without insurance.
About 2500 pending applications have been frozen, with about 1,000 new applications arriving each week. When enrollment is reopened, officials will evaluate the applications in the order they were received.
Cover Rx, part of Governor Bredesen's sweeping Cover Tennessee program, was designed to cover between 25,000 and 50,000 people.
Program Director Kendra Gipson says the state wants to be sure the program has enough money before admitting more people.
The state has budgeted nearly $12 million for Cover Rx in the current budget year that ends in June.

We know that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez put a ring on it -- but we still don't know if it's an engagement ring! After the actress was spotted with a new gem on her ring finger, several outlets reported that Martinez, who turned 46 today, had proposed to Berry, 45. Today, however, TMZ reports that the engagement rumors may be false.
According to the gossip site's sources, the ring was a gift from Martinez to Berry -- no strings attached. The sources say that marriage "could be in the cards," and that the couple is in a "committed relationship." However, as of last week, there are reportedly no wedding plans.
This new info contradicts the breathless engagement reports we were seeing earlier this week. Us Weekly claimed that Martinez proposed over the holidays. People spoke to a rep for the jewelry designer Gurhan, who confirmed that the piece Martinez had purchased was a diamond-and-emerald "engagement ring" (although isn't it possible that he just liked the ring, and had no intention to propose?). And pop singer Kylie Minogue, who dated Martinez for four years, seemed to confirm the news when she congratulated them over Twitter -- although she may well have been getting her info from the Internet, and not from her ex-boyfriend.
Oscar winner Berry and French actor Martinez have been dating since 2010, after meeting on the set of the film Dark Tide, due in theaters this year. Sounds like we'll have to wait to find out if they're taking their relationship to the next level -- or just enjoying a shared love of jewelry.

60K.M south of Monterrey, exists Bioparque Estrella, a very calm, laid back, totally green piece of stretch which houses varieties of fauna. Driving down on Garza Sada to Carretera Nacional towards Montemorelos in itself is a pleasing experience. Just before Montemorelos, a gigantic hoarding on the right indicates the deviation that you need to take. Once you deviate from Carretera Nacional, the scenery becomes a lot greener. A narrow road passing along the Mexican savanna containing many ranches on both sides makes the driving more delightful
The parking cost is 15 pesos which has to be paid at the first entrance, which fetches you a free map of the location. The entrance tickets cost 125 pesos.
The first best thing to do is to take the open bus safari (safari would be an overstatement though). Don't forget to grab some food to feed the animals. Once the bus enters the safari area, which houses only herbivores creatures, hungry and desperate double humped camels and ostriches put their faces inside the bus, snatch the food you have. As the bus keep moving, you happen to see many interesting creatures deers, antelopes, black bucks, giraffes, hippopotamus, elephants etc. The safari lasts for about 40 minutes.
There are some fun stuff to do too. Crossing the lake sliding on the cable by holding another for support, cable crossing and rock climbing. There are few food joints which sells food with limited choices for the hungry mortals. There is a lion cub, monkey and pythons with which you can get photographed by shelling out few bucks.
There is an ultra tiny trek along the river which takes you to a place of falling water (calling it waterfall would be an exaggeration). The view is splendid, green valley with a river flowing across.
Let me stop my blabbering here and let the photographs do the talking (click on the images to view them larger). And before anybody would ask me how this landscape shot was taken, let me answer a priori. A technique called HDR (High Dynamic Ranging) is used for rendering this image. 3 or 5 photographs with varying exposure (aperture fixed, only time values changed) is shot and merged using either Photomatix (Photoshop works too) and then tone mapped. The point here is, under such situations where the contrast between the earth and the sky are so high, if I try to shoot the nice blue sky then the earth will be totally dark and if I try to get the green on the earth then the sky will be totally blown out. To handle such situations HDR comes handy. You can either use bracketing (better if you don't have a tripod) or manually the shutter speeds could be changed, just make sure that you don't move the camera even to a minute extent when you shoot.

Does anyone know of any post-abortion support books that can help someone who has just gone through and abortion or is trying to decide?

Hi Candy,
I don't personally know of any but I have found a list of them available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Healing-after-Abortion/lm/3MLH6053DY1Y9
I hope this helps

Lara Croft certainly appealed on a financial level: Jolie pocketed at least $12 million for the sequel (a hefty raise from the $7 million she was paid for her role in the first). And, after her last couple of duds, the chance to be tops at the box office with a big splashy tent-pole was undoubtedly pretty tempting too. But then the most tantalizing aspect of returning to ''Raider'' had to be the timing: With the breakup of her two-year marriage to actor Billy Bob Thornton still ringing in the tabloids, an opportunity last summer to slip back into Croft's combat boots and once again rumble in the jungle as a fearless neo-feminist action hero was just what she needed. ''It was a good point in my life to jump back into that character,'' she admits. ''I remember when I first arrived on the set, I found this little card waiting for me that said, 'Welcome home, Lara.' It was nice to return to something that felt like home.''
Angelina, though, came back to the ''Lara Croft'' franchise set a changed woman. In fact, her eye-opening experience two years ago shooting the first ''Tomb Raider'' in Cambodia (where land mines left over from the Vietnam War could be found within easy stumbling distance of the set) seems to have triggered a genuine shift in her notoriously wild personality. Turns out, for instance, she's actually serious about her new role as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, spending many of her off hours popping into places like Tanzania to investigate refugee-camp conditions and human-rights violations. She recently committed $5 million of her own money to establish a Cambodian wildlife preserve (and another $10,000 to rebuild a hospital in Sri Lanka) and has also been spotted lobbying in Washington to help immigrant orphans in this country. And, of course, there's Maddox, her 2-year-old Cambodian-born adopted son and the most serious commitment she's made in her life.
