Medicare.gov Medicare is the basic health insurance program for Americans age 65 and older and many people with disabilities. People qualify for Medicare based on the Medicare tax they paid through their work. Workers' spouses and minor and adult children with disabilities may also be covered. Medicare coverage is automatic upon reaching age 65, but people who are on Social Security Disability Insurance must wait two years before they can be covered. The Medicare website provides a wealth of information about the program, benefits and billing (among other topics).
Medicaid.gov Medicaid is an entitlement program that pays for medical assistance for certain individuals and families with low income and resources. Military families with a disabled member who is qualified to receive Supplemental Security Income payments or is struggling with the cost of care can apply for Medicaid. Medicaid may provide eligible military families with benefits over and above those offered by TRICARE, although it will be necessary for them to reapply upon each move to another state. The Medicaid website provides an overview of the program and information on enrollment and coverage, Medicaid initiatives, as well as how to obtain prescription drugs through Medicaid. The website also allows users to browse information related to Medicaid by provider type and by special topic.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Medicaid State Waiver Demonstration Projects As a result of the Social Security Act, states are allowed flexibility in operating Medicaid programs through research and demonstration projects, managed care and freedom of choice waivers, and home- and community-based services waivers. The CMS Medicaid State Waiver Demonstration Project website provides an overview of these demonstration projects and waivers, information for consumers and a listing of the current projects and waivers by state.
Medicaid: State by State Fact Sheets The National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions, together with the American Academy of Pediatrics, have produced a series of one-page, state-specific fact sheets about the issue of children and Medicaid. Medicaid provides health insurance for one in every five American children, making it the largest children's health program in the country.
Social Security Administration The SSA delivers social security services through a nationwide network of more than 1,400 offices that include regional offices, field offices, card centers, teleservice centers, processing centers, hearing offices, the Appeals Council and state and territorial partners. Included on the SSA website are sections detailing the history of the Social Security Act, legislation and congressional affairs related to Social Security, sections of the Social Security Act that relate to pay and allowances of the uniformed services, international SSA operations, a local office search tool and benefits for grandchildren.
Compilation of the Social Security Laws Provided by the SSA, this document lists the full text of the Social Security Act, as amended, and selected provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Social Security Supplemental Security Income Supplemental Security Income is a federal income supplement program, funded by general tax revenues, designed to help the aged, blind and people with disabilities who have little or no income. The program does so by providing money to meet basic needs for food, clothing and shelter. Included on the SSA website for SSI is a section devoted to special SSI rules for children of military personnel living overseas.
Comparing Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance (PDF) The benefits of Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance are similar in that both are federal benefit programs designed to support individuals with disabilities. However, they are easily and often confused. This fact sheet describes and differentiates key aspects of each program.
Department of Defense Women, Infants and Children Overseas Program The DoD offers the WIC Overseas Program to eligible participants living overseas. The WIC Overseas Program provides service members and their families with several important benefits such as nutritious food, tips on how to prepare balanced meals, nutrition and health screenings, and access to other resources that help service members and their families lead healthier lives.
The Exceptional Family Member Program helps military families with special needs before, during and after relocations. Find the resources you need.

? About Cassia
I have this cassia which I planted last fall. It was killed to the ground this past winter but is back bigger and better than ever. I thought it was bicapsularis but it has never had seed pods on it. Is this just because it needs to be more mature? Or is it a different type of cassia. Thanks for any help in IDing this plant. Has anyone propagated cassia from cuttings?
Yes it will get seed pods. Perhaps enough blossoms did not get pollinated.
I haven't prop'd from cutting but it should be possible.
Once you start getting pods you will have seedlings but not invasively. I just potted up 4 volunteers for some future swap :-)
This is also called Christmas Cassia, cassia bicapsularis, senna pendula and many other names. I love it by any name at all.
Thanks for the info Denise. The sulphur butterflies have been all over it all summer but it still has bloomed profusely. My granddaughter and I have enjoyed seeing the caterpillars green in the summer and yellow now that they eat the flowers.
guess this plant can't read the calendar lol
Here is a link that might be useful: christmas cassia
Wow! Your cassia is huge and beautiful. I guess I better give mine more room. I read on the other cassia thread that there is one that is single trunked, more tree like. That sounds interesting I'm going to have to look for that one. I have mine tied up so it won't sprawl quite so much.
Anyone else growing Cassia roxburghii?? Red cassia.
Have two remaing started from seed in 01 that limped along until this year . Has grown more in the last year than it did since sprouting lol, Is this a tree ,bush eventual size and when should it flower??
seems to be getting a single trunk which suggests it's going to get MUCH bigger. Now about 15/15 and seems to have somewhat of a weeping habit.
Looks much like the above pix but MUCH finer leaves and single trunk. Has yet to flower for me so no flowers of course.
Can't find much info on the net particularly about habits .
It's growth rate is beginning to scare me a bit. and bot plants are only 3 feet apart. Much to late to move them I'm sure .. Thanks for any enlightenment you can share. gary
There must be something different about mboston's cassia since I have two of her offspring, grown from seed and I don't have a single bloom yet either. I will note that my cassia fistula(s) are all growing new flower stalks since I cut them back due to strong winds knocking down the upper branches.
Also my dwarf poincianas are just now starting to bloom when their parent plants from south Florida have been blooming all summer.
I also contribute a side question. Why are the butterflies only now starting to nectar on the cats whiskers when they ignored them the whole entire summer.(both colors)
History of my C. bicapsularis relates to a number of the points here.
It is slightly northeast of Lakeland (adjacent to Orlando).
Approx three years old.
One trunk at first. Now three.
No flowers until summer not long past. Yes, summer.
No pods until a month or two ago.
Two pods in TOTAL. (I know that that is not the rationale for the name;
however, I tried diligently several times to find anything to justify the name.
Please tell me if you know it.)
From something that I read yesterday, I came to know that,
contrary to statement by the person who gave me the plant,
the species is not bicapsularis.
Which explains the summer flowering.
(Species of mine could be pendula.)
To those who indeed have bicapsularis,
are the pods perchance dual chambered?
Or anything else about them to suggest the name?
I think this plant blooms at different times depending upon which zone one is in. I think I have a huge bicapsularis that is mostly a bush, but grows up a nearby tree to about 15 to 20 feet. It blooms for me in the fall months here in 9B, west of Orlando in Lake County.
I also have Senna alata or popcorn cassia. One tree is fairly tall now, since the frosts haven't been severe. It blooms pretty much all the time off and on.
Both of these trees or bushes are great for sulphur or yellow butterflies. Right now they are the most common butterfly in my garden.
I think a lot has to do with how it's pruned as to whether it is a tree or a bush. If you keep cutting the top it will branch more and become a bush, but if you prune off all the shoots leaving one leader it will become a tree if you continue to prune that way. I like to make a lot of plants that grow tall, 10 to 15, trees so I can plant under them. I've even made standards or trees out of ixorias.

> Senna alata or popcorn cassia
Does that mean that you are uncertain as to which of the two it is?
Or does it mean Popcorn Cassia is the common name of S. alata?
If the latter, then I offer the information that it is a common error
(no ill reflection on any of us here;
we try to survive the misinformation proliferated in the care-less world).
Popcorn Cassia (sigh -- should be Popcorn Senna)
is common name of S. didymobotrya.

As a magistrate, John Wayne Conway called Chip Chambers one of the best county highway supervisors in the state.
As the county's next judge-executive, Conway has sent Chambers packing and will name one of Chambers' former employees to replace him in that position.
Chambers revealed Conway's plans during last Tuesday's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court.
Calling at least one of her claims "absurd," the Anderson County Fiscal Court has asked a judge to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former county employee.
Lea Beasmore, who filed the lawsuit after she was fired last March, claims she was sexually harassed numerous times, shown pornographic videos and received a sex device commonly known as a vibrator from a co-worker.
Called a motion for summary judgment, a hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2011, in front of Circuit Judge Charles Hickman in the Anderson County Courthouse.
Well, this is my last column in The Anderson News for 2010. I should make it memorable. I should do a highlight of events that have affected our lives in the past year. I should, but my memory stinks.
With the year about to come to a close, I thought I would get brutally honest with myself — and with you, readers — and evaluate my "New Year's resolutions" column from this time last year.
Back then, I revealed four New Year's resolutions and said, "by my calculations, with all the resolutions I've broken in the past, I'm due to make a resolution that will actually stick."
Well, if you want to look at it literally, I'm a success — I made a single resolution that actually stuck.
Column as I see 'em …
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that judge-elect John Wayne Conway gave his opponent in November's election the heave-ho as highway supervisor.
Chip Chambers, who opposed Conway, didn't exactly endear himself to the cagy political veteran by posting numerous videos on his website that picked apart Conway's 20 years as a magistrate.
December 22, 1960
Mrs. Carl Willard was seriously injured at her home on North Main when a coal stove exploded.
Mr. Willard and their son, Carl Willard Jr., were at the barn milking when the accident occurred.
According to reports, Mrs. Willard had lighted the stove, which had been formerly used as a laundry stove but was used as a heating stove and had new connections. It was believed that water had collected in some parts of the connections, causing the explosion.
LEXINGTON – Perry Central's win over Anderson County in the Republic Bank Classic last Wednesday was a lesson in how basketball used to be played and how it is played now all wrapped into one 32-minute lesson.
Both Anderson County basketball teams will be in action this week as they close out the December portion of their schedules in central Kentucky tournament play.
The Lady Bearcats will be in action in the Mercer County Titan Christmas Clash through Thursday, Dec. 30. Anderson was to have played Monticello in the first round on Monday. Due to holiday publishing schedules, that game and a second-round game against Nelson County or Maysville St. Patrick was played after press deadlines for this edition of The Anderson News.
Something clicked for Anderson County basketball last week.
It happened over 100 miles from home, in the obscurity of McCreary County, down along the Tennessee border. And it clicked just when the Bearcats looked like they would be kicked and, perhaps, on the way to a disastrous season.
No, Anderson did not win the Arby's/KFC Classic at McCreary Central High School. Far from it. The Bearcats split four games and still were looking at a 3-4 record heading into last night's game against Lexington Sayre.
Three members of the Anderson County High School football team were listed as honorable mention selections on The Courier-Journal All-State team, announced in Sunday's editions of the state's largest newspaper.
Offensive lineman Todd DeWoody, defensive lineman Steve Sims and place-kicker Bill Rose were honored in voting by the state's coaches.

This was my second year in a row making the trip up to Seattle for Rafael Anton Irisarri's Substrata Festival, but this year, I approached it a little differently.

After a successful round of funding, Rafael Anton Irisarri's third Substrata Festival has announced it's long anticipated line-up.

NBA wronging Kevin Garnett by preventing Celtics-Clippers trade
Jun 24, 2013, 2:15 PM EDT
Kevin Garnett worked hard, played well and won big. That earned him a no-trade clause written into his contract, a rare privilege extended currently only to Garnett, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki.
David Stern has, in effect, taken it away from Garnett.
The Clippers tried to trade for Garnett at the trade deadline, but it wasn't certain he'd allow it.
Now that he'd probably allow it, the NBA seems prepared to block it.
The NBA's decision involves questionable rationale – why can teams split trades into multiple pieces to create trade exceptions, but this is banned? – and also an unreasonably hard line.
One appeal of Rivers to the Clippers is his ability to attract top talent. Obviously, that primarily relates to Chris Paul, but Rivers could help with Garnett, too. If Garnett is willing to to accept a trade to the Clippers, the NBA shouldn't stop it.
Rivers going to Los Angeles makes a Garnett-for-DeAndre Jordan trade make more sense for all parties. Garnett fits well with the contending Clippers, and the rebuilding Celtics could use a younger Jordan.
There's a catch-22, though, because Garnett might not accept the trade without Rivers in place. And if Rivers were still in Boston, maybe the Celtics wouldn't want to trade Garnett, anyway. Plus, without Rivers to relate to him, maybe the Clippers wouldn't want to add such an intense personality to their locker room.
But Los Angeles does have Rivers, and somehow, instead of making a Garnett trade tenable for all parties, it's now seemingly impossible.
Everything is fluid, and I don't see why the NBA should bar that continuity here. Of course, Rivers and Garnett going to the Clippers would be related. But so is every single decision every team makes. No team makes a move without the next move in mind. It all relates together. It always relates together.
A waiting period for, or worse an outright prohibition of, getting Garnett to the Los Angeles is unfair to the Clippers, Celtics and Garnett.

Stern needs to let the KG for Jordan deal go down. If Jordan improves at the ft line he came be a really solid center. KG is running on a 4th of a tank.
- fanofevilempire - Jun 25, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Stern please get out NBA and New York, grab Bloomberg on ya way out too!
- ajsjr40 - Jun 24, 2013 at 10:06 PM
I would think the union would sue the NBA on behalf of Garnett assuming the proposed trade to the Clippers complies with the collective bargaining agreement. BTW… Stern is an idiot.
- breastfedted - Jun 24, 2013 at 10:09 PM
The NBA is fixed
- 32magicman - Jun 24, 2013 at 11:04 PM
How can Garnett possibly leave the celtics after the way he treated Ray Allen when he signed for miami?! He wouldn't shake his hand and called him a turncoat. He would be the ultimate hypocrite!!
- Anoesis - Jun 25, 2013 at 2:17 AM
I guess that would then make him qualified to be league commissioner.
- jmb05 - Jun 25, 2013 at 3:08 PM
Garnett wasn't mad at Allen for simply leaving the Celtics. He was mad that Allen left to sign for their main rival while the core of KG, Pierce, Doc, and Rondo was still in tact. KG would be leaving under very different circumstances. The Celtics are not trying to make another run at a title. Doc is gone, Pierce is likely gone, and the Celtics are rebuilding. Garnett would not be leaving the Celtics in the midst of a title run for a main rival. Very simple-minded and ignorant.
- 2dmo4 - Jun 25, 2013 at 10:28 AM
I'm so sick if David Stern intervening whenever he feels like it. He, among other things, is what is wrong with the NBA & a reason why I rarely watch anymore.
He dicks with things that shouldn't be dicked with.

But the ads it creates would be familiar in most American homes.
Its largest agency, McCann Erickson Worldwide, gave us "Because I'm Worth It," the motto of the glamorous models at L'Oréal. Los Angeles-based Deutsch created the little boy dressed as Darth Vader who believed, in a 2011 Super Bowl ad, that he could turn on his father's Volkswagen. And the Martin Agency put geckos and piggies to work on behalf of Geico Insurance.
Now, however, it is Interpublic that could use a bit of savvy branding. At a recent 11.60 a share, the stock (ticker: IPG) belies the New York company's dramatic improvement since it began restructuring in 2005. Margins have widened, cash flow has increased and the balance sheet has been bolstered as management has paid down debt. Even better, there is room for continued gains, which could lead to a higher stock price.
Geico's latest ad campaign is a memorable creation of the Martin Agency, an Interpublic unit. Martin Agency
"You could win two ways" with Interpublic stock, says Barry Lucas, senior vice president, research, at Gabelli & Co. Through cost cutting, the company could continue to boost margins, eventually earning a higher cash-flow multiple as investors realize the turnaround is sustainable. At the same time, the gap between the stock price and Gabelli's estimate of Interpublic's private-market value—a cool $18 a share—could narrow.
As that happens, Lucas expects the stock to trade up to 16. Gabelli affiliates own both Interpublic common and convertible debt.

McCann Erickson, itself among the largest ad agencies in the world, kicks in about a third of the holding company's revenue. Ad agencies Draftfcb and Lowe each contribute another 15% of revenue, estimates Daniel Salmon, a senior equity-research analyst at BMO Capital Markets. Interpublic also has a marketing and media-planning and buying business, which contributes about 15% of revenue.
Interpublic went on a shopping spree at the end of the 1990s, purchasing more than 185 companies from 1999 to 2001. Its failure to integrate them left the firm something of a mess when CEO Michael Roth took the helm in 2005.
An accountant and lawyer by training, Roth, 65, hadn't a jingle in his past. He spent most of his career in the financial-services industry, and was head of the MONY Group when he became an Interpublic director in 2002. He chaired the audit committee while the company was investigating accounting irregularities that prompted a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, an earnings restatement and the payment of a $12 million civil penalty. By 2003, shares had plummeted to 8 from a high of 58 four years earlier.
After Roth sold MONY to AXA axahy 1.5976331360946745% AXA S.A. ADS U.S.: OTC USD25.755 0.405 1.5976331360946745% /Date(1427494801000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 149152 AFTER HOURS USD25.755 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 9.664407253740013 Market Cap 62584186522.4423 Dividend Yield 4.0559891283245975% Rev. per Employee 1304920 More quote details and news » (AXAHY), Interpublic's board asked him to come aboard as chairman and help reposition the conglomerate. Six months later, he took on the role of CEO. Roth first integrated the company's many acquisitions, unifying financial and technology systems and putting measurements and controls in place. Interpublic went through four chief financial officers in as many years, before installing the current CFO, Frank Mergenthaler, in 2005.
ROTH MERGED SOME DIVISIONSand closed some far-flung offices. Draft was merged with Foote, Cone & Belding in 2006, and the U.S.-focused Deutsch was combined with Lowe, an international star, in 2009. Nick Brien was brought in six years ago to revitalize the company's media operations. Interpublic since has sold, closed or combined 60 to 70 businesses, according to Wedbush Securities.
Headcount, meanwhile, has shrunk by almost a quarter since 2002, to a recent 41,000. But just as profits and the stock started to recover, the recession hit, killing the advertising budgets of many company clients. By February 2009, Interpublic shares had hit a new low of 3.
Since then, things have been improving, although the stock was set back lately amid concerns that Greece's financial woes would provoke a slowdown in the global economy, leading to reduced advertising outlays. Investors also are worried that commodity-price inflation in the past six months will force companies to cut back on advertising spending in order to maintain margins.
Roth says he hasn't seen a big pullback in ad spending, and continues to believe Interpublic can produce 4% to 5% organic revenue growth and 9.5% to 10% operating profit margin this year, up from 8.4% in 2010. By 2014, margins could be much closer to the industry norm of 13%.
Interpublic wasn't counting on a big recovery in Europe when it posted overall revenue targets, says the CEO. The company generates about 20% of its revenue in Europe, 57% in the U.S. and 10% in Asia.
Even as business improves, reported earnings look depressed because of high interest expense. Interpublic is expected to earn 65 cents this year and 82 cents in 2012, giving it a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.
Because of interest expense, investors tend to study operating cash flow and Ebitda, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, to gauge the company's progress. Interpublic generated $737 million of Ebitda last year, up from $563 million in 2009. This year's figure could rise to $869 million.
Interpublic's balance sheet boasts $1.8 billion of cash and marketable securities, more than its $1.7 billion of debt. Some $600 million of those borrowings are convertible debt that might be either repaid or converted into stock in the next two years, if the shares are at or above $12.30.
In a sign of better days, Interpublic reinstated its dividend earlier this year; the shares now yield 2%. Concurrently, the company announced a $300 million stock buyback, but didn't indicate when the shares would be repurchased.
"You have a financially very secure company," says Roth.
INTERPUBLIC'S DEBT WAS RECENTLYpromoted to investment grade by Moody's Investors Service. If Standard & Poor's follows suit, the company probably could tap the commercial-paper market again. Since it was first downgraded to junk in 2003, Interpublic has had to depend mainly on internally generated cash to fund operations, which is especially important in the first quarter, when revenue is lightest.
The Bottom Line
After a decade of peaks and valleys, Interpublic's stock is climbing again. The shares could trade up to 16 from a recent 11, as the company puts its problems behind it.
Now that the company's financial flexibility has improved, it could return up to $500 million of cash to shareholders, some estimate. It also owns shares in Facebook that could fetch $200 million and that likely could be sold privately.
Interpublic still has plenty of work to do. It recently lost some Microsoft MSFT -0.5823829167677748% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD40.97 -0.24 -0.5823829167677748% /Date(1427490000698-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 33299525 AFTER HOURS USD41.01 0.04 0.0976324139614352% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 16.388 Market Cap 336109087865.949 Dividend Yield 3.026604832804491% Rev. per Employee 728656 More quote details and news » (MSFT) business, which will depress second-half results. Also, one of Draft's largest clients, S.C. Johnson, put its $1 billion account up for grabs. Not least, McCann is considered in need of a face-lift, a job that will fall to Brien and Linus Karlsson, chief creative officer and chairman of McCann-Erickson London and New York.
Reflecting investor concerns and unfinished business, Interpublic sells for only 4.5 times enterprise value (market value plus net cash) to Ebitda, below the multiples accorded peers. As operating results improve, however, the discount should disappear. With or without piglets and geckos, that would be worth advertising.
Advertise This!
The fourth-largest advertising holding company in the world, Interpublic sells at a steep discount to peers on the basis of enterprise value to Ebitda. The gap will start to close as results improve.

Anyone with corner stoves?
Hello! Long time lurker...1st time poster...any of you have a corner stove either just the cooktop or slide-in? Any pictures you would be willing to share?? We will be beginning our build soon--supposed to have started in July, but that is a whole 'nother story... and I am fine tuning my kitchen plans. I really want the stove in the corner. (stove on a diagonal in the corner--I guess where you would generally have a lazy suzie!). I am thinking slide-in but would also consider just the cooktop. Thanks so much! Can't wait to see some pictures!
Our kitchen design place had a model kitchen that featured this design. My KD wanted to do this in my kitchen but it would have meant moving a window and I didn't want to increase the scope of our kitchen renovation, so we nixed that idea. I do think it can work quite well in some situations.
Here are a few. See my link below for a portfolio that includes more corner ranges. The KD that I had originally hired loved doing corner ranges, but it didn't work for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: portflio including many corner ranges
See SharB's kitchen in the Finished Kitchens Blog...looks wonderful! Others have them as well, but their names escape me right now and there's no "corner range/cooktop" special category!
