The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Jayce Henderson and Amanda VanAllen
USA Today's David Jackson: "Obama to visit Boston Thursday, calls attack terrorism" President Obama, who declared the Boston Marathon bombings "an act of terror" on Tuesday, will visit the city on Thursday to attend a memorial service for the victims and survivors. Obama plans to make remarks "at an interfaith service dedicated to those who were gravely wounded or killed in Monday's bombing," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. LINK
Politico's Jake Sherman: "Boston Marathon Bombing: Congress reacts, Dems talk sequester" With the Boston Marathon bombings less than 24 hours old, some on Capitol Hill are beginning to say the attack shows why Congress should've stopped automatic spending cuts from taking hold in March. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), responding to a question at a Tuesday morning press conference, said the bombings are "clearly another place where it demonstrates why having the ability to address security concerns is important." LINK
The Hill's Jordy Yager and Jeremy Herb: "Deadly poison sent to Sen. Wicker" A letter addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) tested positive for ricin on Tuesday, according to U.S. Capitol Police. Capitol Police intercepted a letter at an off-site postal screening center Tuesday morning and advised senators in an evening briefing that none of their offices were in danger, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said. LINK
ABC News' Mary Bruce and Serena Marshall: "McCain, Schumer: Obama Supports Immigration Reform Bill" Senators John McCain, R-Ariz., and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., emerged from a White House meeting today confident that President Obama supports the immigration reform bill they plan to introduce tonight. "While he certainly might not agree with every single part of it, he was very supportive of the bill we have put together and simply wants to make sure we keep moving it along and get something done," Schumer told reporters at the White House. LINK
The New York Times' Julia Preston: "Beside a Path to Citizenship, a New Path on Immigration" A sweeping immigration bill that a bipartisan group of eight senators completed on Tuesday seeks not only to fix chronic problems in the system and bring an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to the right side of the law. It would also reorient future immigration with the goal of bringing foreigners to the country based increasingly on the job skills and personal assets they can offer. LINK
The Washington Post's David Nakamura and Aaron C. Davis: "Immigration measure's opponents hope delays will kill bipartisan bill" Leading Capitol Hill opponents of a Senate proposal to overhaul the nation's immigration system are coalescing around a strategy to kill the bill by delaying the legislative process as long as possible, providing time to offer "poison pill" amendments aimed at breaking apart the fragile bipartisan group that developed the plan, according to lawmakers and legislative aides. The tactics, used successfully by opponents of an immigration bill during a 2007 debate in the Senate, are part of an effort to exploit public fissures over core components of the comprehensive legislation introduced Tuesday by eight lawmakers who spent months negotiating the details. LINK
Bloomberg's Kathleen Hunter and Jonathan D. Salant: "Republican Lawmakers Say Citizenship Path Same as Amnesty" A Senate plan to rewrite U.S. immigration law has stoked a years-old debate over allowing undocumented residents a chance to become citizens, a measure viewed by opponents as rewarding lawbreakers with "amnesty" and undercutting American workers. Though Republican opposition to creating a citizenship path for the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants has waned since the November election, the issue divides the party. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Lisa Mascaro and Christi Parsons: "Senate immigration bill looks promising despite some unease" Complete satisfaction with the Senate's bipartisan immigration proposal was hard to find Tuesday as details of the bill became known, but despite reservations, a growing consensus was developing in favor of the proposal as the best chance in a generation to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. Republicans, in particular, largely held their fire on the issue, as the party's elected officials warmed to the prospect of getting more resources for border security in exchange for a path to legal status for the 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. without legal authorization. LINK
The New York Daily News' Joseph Straw: "Obama calls bipartisan plan for immigration reform 'consistent' with administration's stance" President Obama on Tuesday welcomed a sweeping Senate immigration plan even though it ignores one of his key demands for reform. The bill, drafted by a bipartisan group of senators led by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), would open a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants — but only if Homeland Security Department agents can meet targets like catching or deterring 90% of illegal crossers at busy border crossings within five years. LINK
The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan: "Senators put final touches on plan for immigration" After months of negotiations, the Gang of Eight senators were poised to file their immigration bill late Tuesday evening, striking a deal to immediately legalize most illegal immigrants and ease the path for future legal immigrants in exchange for promises of much stiffer border security, backed up by verifiable yardsticks. President Obama met with two of the negotiators Tuesday afternoon and blessed the broad outlines of the agreement, calling it "largely consistent" with what he had proposed. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath: "Low Inflation Gives Fed Room" The latest reading on consumer prices could give the Federal Reserve a new reason to keep its easy-money policies intact—inflation shows signs of slowing. The Labor Department's consumer-price index was up 1.5% in March from a year earlier, the fourth time in five months that it has been below the Fed's 2% inflation goal. And while the core reading on consumer costs, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 1.9%, it also remained below the goal for the fourth time in five months. LINK

@Bass: Yeah, Tyson hit most of the deniers' arguments. It's pretty obvious that by burning fossil fuels (a.k.a. carbon trapped in the ground) that we're releasing more CO2 into the air than before.
I'm all for lowering pollution and moving away from fossil fuels. However, the real problem is finding a clean alternative source of energy that makes sense. Solar and wind take up way too much surface area relative to coal/gas/oil. Hydroelectric disrupts local ecosystems. Nuclear power produces waste that must be dealt with. Electric cars need rare earth metals in their battery cells.
Until we can capture and convert more of the sun's energy (like powering a modern sedan with just solar panels on the roof and hood), we will need to use less Earth-friendly sources of power.
@JohnAskew: Yeah, I think Seth McFarlane says "jump" and Fox says "how high?". I'm really surprised they agreed to broadcast the show, but I'm glad they did. It reaches a much wider audience on Fox than on PBS.

Ready? Okay!
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
A couple of weeks ago I bought a box of cheerleader postcards and have been sending them out to friends and family members (and even a colleague). The pictures amuse me, and everyone loves getting postcards, right?
My mom was a high school cheerleader. She was also the lone woman in her high school's saxophone quartet, so you could say she was a well-rounded individual. I never mastered an instrument and I only lasted one wrestling match as our school mascot (and I still have an occasional nightmare about giant Blue Jays attacking me).
Even though I never tried out for the cheerleading squad in high school, I sometimes feel like a cheerleader in open source. I love feeling like I helped someone get noticed for her efforts or encouraged her to speak up and join a conversation. Someday soon I hope that I will have cheered loud enough or long enough or whatever enough to have encouraged a woman to attend her first open source event, or volunteer at an event, or even submit a talk for an event or write her first article.
Some of my cheerleader postcards are photos of a group of women. Some are the lone woman cheerleader. Other photos have men and women cheering on the same squad. Yes, some are clearly out-of-date, sexist shaving cream ads featuring women as cheerleaders and men as the football heros, the objects of all the cheers. And then there's the one postcard that's propped up on a coffee cup on my desk today with a single man, first raised in the air, and the words beneath his feet read, "He Feels Like Cheering."
I guess cheerleaders come in all flavors, and you can cheer in a group or all by yourself, regardless of whether you feel like you're on the winning or losing team, or even on a team at all.
Help a cheerleader out – Please send these questions to a woman in open source today and ask her to send her responses to me in email at email@example.com:
1. Who are you? (name/brief bio)
2. What do you currently do in open source? What do you love about it?
3. You're speaking to a group of women from other fields who are considering switching careers. Why should they consider moving into an open source-related career? What should they know about the open source environment to prepare them for the transition from a different field?
4. You're speaking to a group of high school students (male and female). Why should they consider exploring career options in open source?
5. What question do you wish I'd asked? And how would you answer it?

"Love this. I used fresh vegies from the farmer's market. As with all things Ina the fresher the better. I would do salt, pepper, cream, and cheese to taste. Chicken stock to how thick you like it. I wouldn't do as much broth when roasting. I think the more carmely googey good stuff you can scrap into the blender/food processor with the vegies..."
Reviewed Rack of Lamb Persillade
Oct 7, 2010 in Food Network Community Toolbox on Food Network
"Another great recipe to keep on hand. Quick and delicious. I only used one large rack of lamb and probably put too much of the bread mixture on top. When in doubt, just coat it. The butter crisps it up nicely. I also undercooked it as per other chef's suggestions but felt it was undercooked. The time she gives is probably just perfect. "

Yes, but LED nav lights don't twinkle
... stars do. And if you're looking at a star and it doesn't twinkle...guess whatit ain't a star. IMHO, you'd have to be fairly dumb and unobservant to mistake an LED nav light for a star.
Also, LED nav lights will generally move far more quickly relative to the boat than stars will unless you're headed straight for it.

The thing about the LED,s is not brightness it is about the color of the light. Look close and you will see most are a bluish white that is exactly the color of most stars. As to bright Canopus (Never could remember how to spell that one)gets so bright some times you can see it in the day time. No my point is about looking exactly like a star when only a mile or less away.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Darling Downs farmer and palaeontologist, Ian Sobbe, will give a presentation on the megafauna fossils currently on display at Cobb+Co Museum.
Megafauna are extinct marsupials, reptiles and birds that lived 2 million years ago and died out around 30 to 40 thousand years ago. Diprotodons, the marsupial the size of a rhinoceros, have become synonymous with megafauna but according to Ian Sobbe there were more than 60 species of animal living on the Darling Downs in the late Pleistocene era.
... moreIan is a local farmer and amateur palaeontologist. This 'hobby' has seen him appointed an Honorary Research Fellow/ Honorary Associate of the Queensland Museum and a specimen being named after him, Perameles sobbei.
As well as working on his farm near Clifton, Ian continues to be actively involved in collecting, preparing and preserving specimens for the Queensland Museum, including those currently on display at Cobb+Co Museum.

Based on monthly rate. Electric at 9cents per KWH. Park is very clean and well maintained. Streets and sites are paved and utilities are well positioned. Lake is for fishing only, no swimming. Easy access and no problem towing through the park. Cedar shrubs between sites. Staff is friendly and helpful. Office is open for service 7 days a week. A quiet park and a nice location. The rating reflects the lack of activities available in the park. There is a nice hiking trail around the park and a nice playground for kids.
We would return when in the area. - SilverBear
We feel this is a really nice park. Lots of greenery for being so close to a large city! Even trees planted in each site for privacy between rigs. First I can't help myself, I have to start off by replying to what some people consider negatives. If you are bothered by road noise, why are you 15 miles from a large city like Seattle? In a suburb? How do you expect there to NOT be any road noise? If this is your concern, stay farther from the city and drive. The road noise is surprisingly little especially deeper in the park than I would think for such an urban location. Didn't expect so much greenery, either! Also, yes it's a man made pond/lake, no you can't swim in it. So? It's very pretty. If ducks and geese bother you, I'm sorry, but why are you RVing? If you are woken up by every little noise, RV Parks are never going to be for you. :) I happen to like hearing the ducks, because I like nature and that's part of why I love this park. I can't speak to security/homeless people, I never saw any concerns in our 4 nights here but they may be going on. I felt the staff was very friendly and accommodating. My only downside, as almost everyone has said, is the lack of Internet. We work online and also have our travel blog and YouTube videos so it was a pain. Yes we can get it across the street at Safeway 24/7 which is great if you just need something in a pinch, but when I have to spend 2-3 hours online I would much rather be in my rug enjoying the RV park I am paying to stay in, rather than sitting at Safeway feeling like I could be at the Safeway at home. Overall we REALLY like this park - lush, green, pretty quiet, wildlife, nice large paved roads for daily walks plus some small hiking trails up around the park, convenient location in Bothell with Safeway open 24/7 across the street, lots of fast food and restaurants. In low traffic times, 20-30 minutes into Seattle, up to 2 hours in bad traffic. Laundry is cheap, machines worked well. Main bathrooms were VERY nice, could use more hooks for hanging things up and could be a little cleaner, but much better than most parks. The private bathrooms in the back were a bit dirtier and not as well maintained. We would definitely stay here again. We just really hope they get better Internet. :) - SpotTheScotts
The rate is based on a monthly stay at this park, the rate being available during the winter months, and does not include electricity. This is a lovely park. It is basically right in town, but is surrounded by trees, so you feel you're out in the country. Road noise is creeping in, though. I have stayed there several times over the past two years,; they are always full. The roads and sites are level, with pruned evergreens between each site for privacy. There are good walking trails up in the woods. The laundry is small for the number of sites. Several times I had to return for "my turn". It is managed by two couples, on alternating days, it seems. One couple is very nice and accommodating, the other couple seems put out if you have a request. I would definitely stay there again. - colorful duck

The presiding judge in the trial of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, 83, ended television coverage on Monday, the second day of the proceedings.
Judge Ahmed Refaat said the ruling was meant "to protect the public."
Images of Mubarak laying on a hospital gurney in the defendant's caged dock -- a standard part of Egyptian criminal trials -- inflamed the public. On the first day of the trial, clashes took place between Mubarak supporters and anti-government protesters watching the proceedings on an oversized screen outside the building.
Mubarak and his two sons, Gamal and Alaa, are charged with ordering the killing of unarmed protesters during the 18-day uprising that toppled his government -- charges that carry a potential death penalty.
The former president and his sons are also charged with corruption. Nearly 900 people died during the 18 days of rioting, which spread from Cairo to other Egyptian cities.
Speaking from inside the caged dock on the first day of the trial, Mubarak "categorically" denied "all the charges."
Some of the people waiting to watch day two of the trial outside the courtroom were miffed with the judge's ruling.
One protester tweeted, "Did we spend 23 days on the streets so that they show us Mubarak twice?" The New York Times reported.
Mounted police, backed by armored personnel carriers, joined hundreds of riot police to prevent clashes between supporters of the former president and anti-government protesters.

Grid parity monitor
PV can be competitive in electricity wholesale markets without incentives
- The fourth issue of the PV Grid Parity Monitor (GPM) focuses its analysis on the utility‐scale segment in six different countries: Chile, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Turkey, and USA (Texas).
- PV generation finds a good positioning in Chile and positive perspectives for Morocco, Italy and Mexico.
- ECLAREON will publish a new version of the utility‐scale issue in 2015 focused on new markets (Central America and MENA) and different financing schemes for PV installations.
September 1 2014 -- The results of the fourth issue of the study PV Grid Parity
Monitor, carried out by the consulting firm ECLAREON, sponsored by BayWa and ENERTIS, and in cooperation with Copper Alliance, shows that photovoltaic (PV) generation parity (the moment when profitability requirements of PV investors are completely fulfilled with wholesale electricity prices) is an economic reality in Chile and is or has been close recently in Morocco, Italy and Mexico.
While past Grid Parity Monitor (GPM) issues were focused on residential (3kW) and commercial (30 kW) PV installations for self‐consumption, this report deals with large scale PV plants. The plant considered in the analysis has an installed capacity of 50 MWp using a single‐axis tracking system under a project finance scheme. The GPM report analyzes the competitiveness of the PV technology and assesses local regulation in one high irradiation city of 6 different countries: Chile, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Turkey and USA (Texas).
According to David Pérez, partner of ECLAREON Spain and in charge of the study, "PV investors already consider PV as a credible technology to compete in the wholesale market in certain spots."
It is true that recent news relating to PV utility‐scale generation has caught the eye of the energy industry: PV utility‐scale power purchase agreements (PPAs) have been recurrently signed (especially in Latin and North America) and even a merchant plant of 50 MW was announced in Chile. However, given the volatility in wholesale markets and the fast decline of PV prices (much higher in the utility segment than in residential or commercial segments), David Pérez states that "PV utility‐scale competitiveness is a phenomenon that should be monitored over time."
In order to get full understanding of PV generation parity proximity, an outline of the electricity market is also needed. This GPM report provides a summary of the market situation of each country included in the assessment so that the reader is able to identify which electricity prices must be chosen to evaluate PV generation parity and which are the main difficulties a PV plant will face in the considered market.
As David Pérez states, "The big question remaining for the PV industry, regulators and utilities around the globe, is to what extent will utility‐scale generation (with no feed‐in tariff incentives) become mainstream and more than just a handful of individual cases." Ongoing regulatory reforms in countries such as Mexico, expected long‐term rises in electricity prices and continuous drop in PV prices will be crucial in answering this regard.
About the study
The GPM is one of the most thorough analyses on PV parity to date: it is based on a rigorous and transparent methodology (detailed in the report), it uses real and updated data as inputs, and it has specific and detailed information per country, such as the discount rate, retail electricity prices, and the inflation rate.
The GPM is a series of analyses that show the evolution of PV competitiveness in different consumer segments: residential, commercial, and utility‐scale.
The report is available on http://www.leonardo-energy.org/photovoltaic-grid-parity-monitor.

Residents near Rodriguez County Park and Wolff Stadium can now jump on their bikes or hike along a new two-mile trail called the South Leon Creek Greenway.
District 6 City Councilman Ray Lopez said the $2.6 million addition the city's greenway system is another way for San Antonians to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
"It's going to give our folks an opportunity to come out here and exercise," Lopez said. "As you know, San Antonio has been notorious for making a very bad list about being unhealthy."

I'd like to see straight up (minor) buffs for Tryndamere.
He's just like any carry, except he doesn't have ranged auto attacks. He does good damage, but his laning is awful and he gets kited easily in team fights, not to mention instantly blowing up and needing his ult almost immediately in any fight. You can use him and you can win with him, but there's no debate: he just isn't good. He'll work better against bad players who either don't kite well or don't take advantage of his awful laning/bad jungle clear. If you do well with him, it's not because tryndamere is good, it's because you are better than the players you've been playing against.
His base HP is actually pretty high. He's just too squishy.
Olaf is best barbarian
I'm sad now. I love Tryndamere. He's my bestest champion. Now I have to find someone else... This was actually just meant to be a bump.

Over the past year, testers that had access to Windows 7 milestone builds from the earliest stages of the development process witnessed a constant improvement of the operating system. At the same time, Windows 7 moved slowly but surely away from Windows Vista, and grew into its own. With the platform both API- and feature-complete, and a development strategy similar to that of the Office System, testers have seen very few Build releases, a trend which will continue moving onward, and are bound to see only minor changes to the operating system's architecture.
Microsoft is currently harvesting feedback from various sources, including the Windows 7 feedback mechanism, and is focusing on incorporating tester input into RC-branch builds. And yes, all the Windows 7 development milestones past Beta Build 7000 are Release Candidate Builds of Windows 7, since RC is the next building stage of the operating system. There is little talk of Windows 7 RC, and, in fact, little details available on just how tester feedback is being used to build the next milestone of the operating system.
However, testers should not interpret the radio silence from Microsoft as inactivity. In fact, the last thing that Microsoft is doing is to ignore the feedback from users running Windows 7 Beta. The silence, sometimes indeed deafening, is just an aspect of the translucency communication strategy introduced by Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President, Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group. But just looking at the Beta of Windows 7, you have to admit that the Windows team with Sinofsky at the helm did nothing short of a superb job, and I must underline superb job, in comparison to Windows Vista Beta 1.
What must be understood from the get go is that the Windows team has its hands full with tester feedback. According to Sinofsky, via Geeksmack, each member on the Windows team has to handle over 500 suggestions on Windows 7 since the Beta was launched. The Send Feedback button has been hit more than half a million times following the public availability of Windows 7 Beta Build 7000. Sinofsky emphasized that the Windows team is placing a strong focus on all suggestions, and incorporating the feedback into Windows 7.
Then again, all you have to do is take a hard look at the evolution of Windows 7 from development milestone to development milestone, as the translucency veil lifted more and more, to get sufficient proof that Microsoft is indeed building what Sinofsky referred to as a "great," "major" release of Windows.
Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6.1.6519.1
And so it began... Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6.1.6519.1 was the first consistent sign of Windows life past Windows Vista. At that time, leaked information, screenshots and videos of Build 6.1.6519.1 were welcomed with a great deal of skepticism, with the public arguing that the release was Windows Vista and not Windows 7. And this was indeed the case, as version 6519 was closer to Vista than its successor, especially when it comes down to the graphical user interface. Still, Build 6519.1.x86.fre.winmain.071220-1525 was the real thing, but also the illustrative proof that Windows 7 was indeed Windows 6.1 compared to Vista (Windows 6.0), and the evolution of its precursor.
Windows 7 Milestone 2 Build 6574.1
Following its release to a select group of partners, Build 6519.1.x86.fre.winmain.071220-1525 was leaked to torrent websites, and the same path was reserved for Windows 7 Milestone 2 Build 6574.1. Testers continued to see more Vista than Windows 7 with version 6574, with Microsoft increasingly focusing on under-the-hood changes, at this stage in the development of the operating system. But, between M1 and M2, Microsoft offered a sneak peek of Windows 7, the first official previews of the platform. At that time, the company revealed a video demonstration of Windows 7's touch capabilities, as it was introducing the first major feature that would differentiate Win 7 from its precursors.
Julie Larson-Green, Corporate Vice President, Windows Experience Program Management, demonstrated Windows 7 at the D6 - All Things Digital conference. It was the very first time that Microsoft showed the new Superbar (the enhanced Taskbar) to the public, hinting at the evolution of the operating system's graphical user interface. And just as the build featured in the official presentations, release 6574 did introduce new UI elements, but only minor changes.
August 14, 2008
Is the date when the first words were published on Engineering Windows 7, an initiative which involved the senior engineering managers for Windows 7, Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky, and various members of the Windows team. This was the day Microsoft started "talking" Windows 7, although the details were indeed limited to the engineering process. E7 has since launch been a consistent effort, with deep and comprehensive insights, offering a perspective over the development process of Windows 7. Can't wait for E8!

iPod nano built into Dreamcast VMU
I saw the new iPad nano for the first time this weekend, and though I knew it was small, of course, I was surprised by just how small it was. Despite the tiny little touchscreen, it really is about the size of the old shuffle. In fact, it's small enough to fit inside one of the old Visual Memory Units from the Sega Dreamcast. Unfortunately, the original controls don't work, and because the nano doesn't actually run any apps, you can't play anything even resembling the old VMU games that the extra controller units used to play in conjunction with the old console. But it is a nice little case for the new nano, and of course, it's just dripping with nostalgia.
You can find more information and pictures on the maker's website, which is in Japanese. Don't be fooled by the Sega or Sonic pictures, either -- that's the just the nano's photos app showing off. Very cool, though -- I look forward to seeing even more places to install the nano's tiny little touchscreen.

A Functional Assessment is a key eligibility requirement for the following services:
The purpose and intent of a functional assessment (FA) is:
1. |
To use the defined domains to clearly and concisely describe in narrative: |
2. |
To describe only current status and level of functioning within each domain: |
3. |
To assess and identify functional strengths and/or impairments to: |
Cultural and social mores of the individual recipient must be considered in the assessment of all domains.
1. |
Review the definitions and related components for each domain. |
2. |
Determine how you will use the domain definitions and parameters to ensure you document the most salient and pertinent status and functional descriptions for that domain without being repetitive from domain to domain. |
3. |
Within, and specific to each domain, assess the individuals current status (stating facts-has a job (vocational), does not have contact with family of origin (interpersonal). |
4. |
State in detail the current level of functioning (using descriptions of the actual observable, objective, behavioral, purposeful activity) including both strengths of functioning and functional impairments whenever and wherever present. |
5. |
If there is truly not a functional impairment in a particular domain, the term no problem should still not be used in documentation. The term no problem would seem to indicate a positive status and/or functional description of related strengths in the domain. The narrative should then focus on the individuals functional strengths. Functional strengths are the cornerstone of person centered planning and strength based interventions. Functional strengths can be adapted across domains and therefore must be detailed within the domains in which they exist. |
6. |
For each domain, determine if there is a link to the individuals level of functioning (usually, but not always, related to an impairment in functioning) and the individuals mental illness and the unique way s/he experiences their mental illness (signs and symptoms that are distinctive to them). |
7. |
Document in a clear, concise, informative, narrative manner the individuals status; functional description (strengths of functions and/or impairments of functions); and the link (if there is one) to the mental illness for each domain. |
8. |
Each domain must be assessed and documented as being assessed. There will be a status and detailed functional description (strengths and/or impairments) for every domain. There may or may not be a link to the mental illness for each domain. |
9. |
It should be noted that to meet medical necessity and eligibility for reimbursement/payment, all mental health clinical and all mental health rehabilitation service interventions must be focused on those domains where there is a functional impairment and the impairment is directly linked to the individuals mental illness. |
10. |
If this is an initial functional assessment for this individual or an initial functional assessment for a particular service, you may include historical status and functioning if you determine it is relevant to current status and functioning. Historical status and functioning can also be added at a later time if the information is just becoming available to the provider completing the assessment. |
1. |
If this is an updated functional assessment, document only current status and current functioning. Current timeframe is defined by your service type and the time between updates. | |
2. |
Any significant changes in functioning or in an individuals life situation and/or status, in any domain/life area, should generate a reassessment of the functional domains regardless of the due date for the of next functional assessment update. | |
3. |
Every time you do an update or reassessment, each domain must be reassessed and current status and functional description documented. | |
4. |
When routinely updating a functional assessment, there may be a limited number of domains for which there is minimal or no change between assessments. In these domains you may indicate and use the term no change for your functional assessment updates provided the following conditions are met: | |
a. |
The status and functioning of this domain is not impacting the individuals life or other domains; and | |
b. |
Does not pose risk for the individual or | |
c. |
Is not a priority for the individual; and | |
d. |
Is not incorporated into service planning; and | |
e. |
Is not represented by a service goal or objective; and | |
f. |
Is not included or expected to be impacted by a clinical or rehabilitative intervention | |
5. |
The term no change cannot be used for those functional impairments which have been prioritized; are deemed to pose risk; are part of service planning, service goals and objectives, and for which clinical and rehabilitative interventions have been provided. If there truly is no change then a written narrative detailing current status and functional description must be included in these domains. | |
6. |
The term no change should be used very cautiously, even in the above conditions. Likewise, staff should be judicious about indicating in their narrative there is no change in domain status and functionality where they have provided ongoing intervention to build, restore, improve or enhance functioning as it indicates ineffective interventions have not been assessed and changed in a timely manner. |

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Loop 375 and Spur 601 intersection to close MondayBy: Chrisdyann UribeEL PASO, Texas - The Loop 375 and Spur 601 intersection will be closed Monday to allow construction crews to build a new type of interchange.Texas Department of Transportation will be constructing a Diverging Diamond Interchange, a project new to the borderland and the state of Texas.It's a project that has some motorists driving on what most of us would consider the wrong side of the road. For example, a driver heading west will follow traffic through the interchange and, for a short time, drive on the left side of the street. The driver then will go back to the regular side of the street.Not all El Pasoans are on board for the project."It's really going to be bad for the soldiers because they usually take that route all the time," said TJ Dennison, an eastside driver.Others are worried about finding an alternate route."It is very bothersome because now I am going to have to plan more time ahead to actually get to other places. Everybody is going to try and find the same route as I am. So it's going to cost me more time, more fuel," said Cesar Baltazar, an east El Pasoan.Since it will be a project coming to El Paso and is the first of its kind in Texas, others are excited about the city being the first in a trend."I think that's a good idea for El Paso because El Paso is always running behind from other cities and states so I think that would benefit El Paso drivers," said Yolanda Balay, of east El Paso.An email sent to KFOX 14 from TXDOT last week said the project would be complete by May, but a later email says the intersection will be closed until further notice.When KFOX14 reached out to TXDOT for an interview, officials could not provide time for one.To get more traffic updates follow the traffic twitter page, @KFOXTraffic.

Scent as pretty as the packageI must admit, I bought this perfume for the bottle! It's so pretty! I don't ordinarily even wear perfume! I found this scent however to be lovely - rosey without being too overly floral, alcoholic, musky or strong. Perfume tends to give me a headache, but this I enjoy wearing. What surprises me the most is how long-lasting the fragrance is! In the past perfume never seemed to last more than a few hours, but this holds it's scent all day!
A lovely scentI became smitten with Happ & Stahns 1842 Rosa Alba sometime last year when I smelled it in the store. Obviously, I was drawn in by the beautiful packaging but the scent did not disappoint either. It's a lovely feminine scent. Lucky me, my fiancé gifted me this perfume for my birthday last summer. I received the fragrance in the tear catcher since the larger bottle was sold out in all of Anthropologies in our area. It was fine by me because the tear catcher is such an unusual vessel- I just adore it. Unfortunately a few month ago the spray nozzle got caught in the cap of the bottle and I was unable to spray my beloved perfume. Fortunately, Anthropologie swapped it out for me with no questions asked. We wondered if perhaps this was a not so unusual occurrence with this particular bottle? Anyways, the scent is wonderful- it's very nice the warmer months and I feel so romantic when I wear it. I only wish that it would last a bit longer. It seems to fade rather quickly (which is why I've given the quality score 3 stars. I'd say that the actual scent is 5 stars.)
Complex and sophisticatedThis is not your typical department store, designer made perfume. Although, billed as a "rose" scent, this perfume is a complex layering of fragrances that wind together to create something totally unexpected. The rose in this fragrance is not the in-your-face rose of say Jo Malone's Tuber Rose or even her Red Rose. It is balanced with notes of grapefruit and tea and pepper. The most surprising aspect for me is that the base notes are warm and slightly spicy ( amber and cashmere wood). I find this subtle, intimate fragrance to be powerfully feminine and on my skin it has good staying power. Hints of it cling to me all day. Anthro says that this was inspired "by The Grand Tour - a trip across Europe enjoyed by young ladies in the 19th century." Uh.... that is true if the young ladies were George Elliot, Mary Shelly, or Christina Rossetti.

favorite apronI bought one of these for me and one in my daughter's size on a trip to Atlanta in 2012. We had just seen "The Sound of Music" sing-a-long at the Fox Theatre and then went to the Anthro store at one of the malls downtown. I thought it would be fun to have these aprons as souvenirs. We love them. They're charming!
Amazing!This apron is seriously AMAZING! I adore the design, and it still looks like an apron. I bought it two days ago, and I'm so in love with it already. I hesitated to buy it at first because of the price, but I'm so glad I bought it, and it was the last one in the store! I read reviews that criticized the material of the apron, and I think it's just fine, it is an apron after all! It's a tad big at the top, but that is probably because I'm a small sized person, and that is easily looked over! All in all, I think you should definitely buy it if you're debating on it. I absolutely adore it :)
Favorite Apron!I searched and searched the internet for the perfect matching aprons for me and my daughter, and this is the one I decided to get. I am very happy with the purchase, the details are unique and beautiful! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for design is that the chest of the apron seems very wide. I am average sized, and normally have problems with things being too small in the bust, but this apron is so wide at the top that it gaps open when I move. Aside from that minor detail I am very happy with the apron and am still think it is the best apron out there!

My new favoriteI've tried kate spade twirl, i've tried any sweet floral fragrance i could find, this by far is my new favorite. I dont even care about design of a bottle 99% of the time i just mind the smell. This perfume is so beautiful. It makes me feel fresh and pretty, it lasts ALL DAY, not to mention the bottle is so so pretty! A+ anthropologie/ Happ and Stahns
Amazing!!! So Girly!I absolutely love this product!!! It smells amazing, not too heavy where you could choke someone beside you, but not so light that the smell dissapates in ten minutes either! I spray 3 times, and it lasts all day long, even when working outdoors for the day. I will be buying this again as soon as I start getting low. The only downside I had was the adorable cap. I couldn't stick it on without it pulling the sprayer cap off itself and then it would get jammed inside of it. It was an easy fix though, I just stuck paper towel pieces in it, so it still closed but didn't get stuck. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Such a pretty springy/summery girly scent!
Can't wear perfume? Try this!The scent is light, and smells floral and spicy at the same time. One spritz is adequate for the whole day. Gorgeous packaging (though I wish the bottle would stand up straight; I'm afraid it's going to roll off my shelves)! I also loved reading the history behind the perfume. I get intense headaches from most perfumes, so I'm dead serious when choosing a scent. I tried it on in the store several times before finally purchasing a bottle. I felt positively gleeful clutching my new perfume on the way out of the store! I second V's response: please don't ever discontinue this item!!!! Fantastic buy.

Tea for MeI have recently started a blue and white teacup and saucer collection. Recently as in this is my second set and I couldn't be more in love. It looks great.. This is stoneware which makes it a bit heavy though, I find that when the cup is full I need to hold it with both hands or it just might tip over! Other commenters said that this is no dainty teacup; agreed, no worries about breakage here. I might even let my bf use it! The weight won't be an issue (if it can be considered an issue, just takes some getting used to) for his big strong hands. The rim is not very spill proof either, curves outward so if you fill it too much it will spilleth over..
Great multi use addition to match setI got these even though my family are not tea or coffee drinkers. That being said, I found the bowl with this set oddly a tad blah. So, with these being a pretty substantial size for teacup, I will use for soups and or sauces, etc. with dinnerware. The design is stunning, quality great. The whole line is sturdy and unique, and the handle of this is really clever and unusual. I have it displayed with my old dragon china and it holds its own along side of it. For price point, great set. Cute even if you just got it for drinks. I suggest trying a couple of different plates for fun, design contiues over to back which adds interest. So cute!
Mixed feelingsI was so thrilled when I got this cup and saucer that I immediately ordered 12 salad plates and dinner plates. It was only when showing it to my mother that I noticed the chip on the rim of the cup. By now I had thrown out the packaging. I am in Sydney, so the thought of packaging it back up and returning it to the U.S. is a bit of a bore. My mother said they must have known as they always run their fingers around the rim to check for chips etc before they send them out but perhaps not? Anyway I am rather cross and wonder how much of the next shipment will be chipped? I did note the review of a previous buyer that some of his had chipped over a year but I hadn't expected it to arrive in that state already. I am not going to send it back as it is too much effort but I am not happy!

Florence!!!!Everytime I would go to the store I would see these Tocca perfumes. Never tried. The other day I went to store alone and had tons of time trying out everything. So i tried on the Tocca. I ABSOLUTELY loved the Florence. The other scents are good too but I am a floral person so Florence spoke to me. It is floral, light gardenia. Absolutely beautiful. Almost romantic, feminine, sexy, innocent. Its hard to describe. I LOVED IT!!! I hardly buy full price items at Anthro but this one I picked up in a heart beat. One thing to know for who hasn't tried this on from the mini bottle, this is NOT A SPRAY BOTTLE. Its a dab bottle. Its perfect for travel if you ask me. The glass bottle with beautiful old world lid looks very pretty. Other reviewers who were disappointed by this, well I guess they did not want that or did not know about it. I would not consider that as a negative review. The bottle and perfume are amazing. I also tried the hand lotion and fell in love. I bought the Florence hand lotion and this mini Florence perfume. I highly recommend. But do try all of them to see which one you like.
Cleo - great fragranceCleopatra is my favorite of this selection. Musk adds sensuality while the floral notes soften the scent. It lingers hours after I put it on, but seems only to have average staying power. I have other perfumes that last all day. Love the bottle and this smaller version is not a spray, It can be refilled. This smaller version is also at a great price point.
ToccaThis is one of the most enjoyable brand fragrances I have experienced. I am very sensitive to smells and yet I desire to wear fragrance. All of the Tocca line smells original to their individual specifics and I have not experienced a negative sensory reaction to the line. Thank You for this perfume line and please make it a staple. I also receive many compliments.

perfect size for my family of threeI love this little butter dish. It's painted so well and is durable. My family is me, my husband & our 10-year old daughter so a half-stick of butter is a good size for us. I don't use this every day but I'm trying to make more of our dinnertimes special as our girl grows up. She likes the nights when I use "fancier" things for our meals and this butter dish is cute & practical.
Beautiful DishThe moment I saw this butter dish I knew I had to have it! It's so beautiful and perfectly fits a 1/2 cup block of butter. What a wonderful addition to my kitchen and I also went ahead an bought the spoon rest too!
Beautiful butter dishI asked for this dish for my birthday and I can honestly say that it was my favorite gift! It livens up the inside of my refrigerator, peek-a-booing through my clear butter compartment. The painting is beautifully done and even though it's not very large it does fit an imperial or blue bonnet butter stick perfectly. It also fits in the butter compartment which is great in my opinion.

Stylish & FunctionalI've always loved the aprons at Anthropologie...They're generally gorgeous, but I hadn't bought any in the past because they didn't seem very practical for when I'm actually cooking and baking. I always felt that the various trims / embellishments of the other aprons were too dress-like and I'd need an apron on top of those aprons so that I didn't ruin them. This apron was the answer to that problem for me. The colour blocking is beautiful and elegant, but the pleats and piping are simple enough that it still feels like an actual apron as opposed to a dress. Pockets are always handy, especially in the kitchen when I'd need a pencil to jot down a recipe or a fresh tasting spoon. I'd definitely repurchase!
Beautiful and FunctionalI love baking and needed something that was stylish and fun while functional. I ordered this and the tea and crumpets apron, I love them both!
Awesome ApronI was very reluctant to use this apron for anything other than a hostess apron, but I was so happy to find that it is just as durable and washable as other aprons I owned. After making some chocolate cookies and getting batter on it, I was able to wash it and it came out looking like new. The only thing to remember is to hang it up to dry or immediately after drying, because it does wrinkle and, to me at least, it seems kinda silly to iron an apron.

Like it or not the NRA is the best ally we have as gun owners. I've had my complaints about them too. But we are much better off with them than without them. It's a good thing to watch vids like this now and again and remember.It has happened before and it will be tried again.
