In a long-awaited move, federal officials are clarifying what counts as home and community-based services for people with disabilities.
Under a final rule expected to be published in the Federal Register next week, housing for those with disabilities will not only be judged by its location or physical characteristics but will also have to meet specific "outcome-oriented" criteria in order to qualify under Medicaid home and community-based services waivers.
"Home and community-based settings do not include a nursing facility, institution for mental diseases or an intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities," the rule states. What's more, homes "must exhibit specific qualities to be eligible sites for delivery of home and community-based services" under the new federal requirements.
Specifically, the settings must be integrated in and provide full access to the community and be places where individuals choose to live, Medicaid officials said. Additionally, homes must offer personal rights to privacy and dignity and allow individuals to independently make choices about daily activities, their physical environment and who they interact with.
The new rule also states that individuals with disabilities receiving Medicaid home and community-based services do so through a person-centered planning process.
"People with disabilities and older adults have a right to live, work and participate in the greater community," said Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. "Today's announcement will help ensure that all people participating in Medicaid home and community-based services programs have full access to the benefits of community living."
States offering existing Medicaid waivers for home and community-based services must establish transition plans to meet the new requirements as soon as possible under the rule.
Medicaid officials previously said that they were prompted to issue the new rules — which have been in the works for years — after hearing reports of homes built on the sites of former institutions that were being labeled as community-based.

Friday afternoon news dump? Wow! HHS must not be too keen on media scrutiny post the Obamacare website debacle. This highly contentious, years in the making rulemaking will certainly get detailed study and comment inspite of the timing of the announcement.
My son has met all the criteria for home and community based service – including the one in our state which says he must have his OWWN HOME – thus huis name is on the lease of the town home he rents. To be truley in the community, some of these rules – along with SSI rules need to be amaended so that he is permitted to SAVE towards down payment to buy his very own home.
About time. Every state/region can do it. We've managed without institutions where I live and work (New Hampshire) since the late 80's, though there are a few group homes.
In KS, the state from which Sebelius is coming, there is a 5 year waiting list to be offered residential. If you turn down residential at the end of the 5 year wait, you go to the bottom of the list. Programs in KS are terrible. We pulled our son out of 3 different day programs and finally gave up. The only difference for people like my son who aren't high functioning between an institution and day services/ residential is a bus ride to and fro. All these is good PR but amounts to nothing in the "field"! And, yes, everyone in the state is aware of my feelings and the specifics.
I totally agree with sarachaya says. If SSI would raise the limit of income allowed maybe several of us that can and do work as much as physically possible could save enough to benefit the community as a whole.
Nothing is perfect for everyone. It is up to each of us to do our best to make as good a life as possible for our loved one with a disability. My son has multiple disabilities, and is unable to communicate orally. He has autism, epilepsy and many gastrointestinal problems, yet he lives in his own home with twenty-four hour support staff. The house he lives in is owned by a special needs trust. Both he and his support staff pay rent to the trust.
In our state, CA the twenty-one Regional Centers do assist people with disabilities to achieve these goals.
I am in Texas, My son is on the program, But he gets nothing, We have been trying to get him Discharged for 6 months, and the Local will not do it , It is suppose to take 10 days. my son brings a lot of money in due to his high LOC, and when they shut down instatutions, they build more group homes, this is not right for many they could serve if they would let people out that do not want their services.
I agree that we (disabled people) must be allowed to save money. However, there are some state and federal programs that allow it. For example, in Iowa, some of the Waiver programs allow an individual to have savings of $12,000 and a couple $13,000. This has been very helpful for my husband and myself, as we are both on the Waiver.
Does this new ruling mean that Misericordia in Chicago, which is built on the site of a former institution and does as good a job or better than any of the other agencies serving the disabled population, will not qualify as being community based? If this ruling challenges that, it is off base. What matters NOT is the physicality, what matters is the programming that supports the individual, no matter where it is done.
Community based homes should be judged by their program discriptions and outcomes rather than by how many people live there and where the homes are situated. If an individual with ID goes bowling once a week, eats out once a week, goes to the movies once every other week, exercises at an athletic club twice a week, visits family every other week, and works every day at a church but lives with 7 other people with ID in an apartment on grounds that that contain other apartments for people with ID, is that indivodual integrated into the community?
To Judith's question,
THE IN HOME COMMUNITY BASED SERVISE PROGRAM WAS Designed for the home as in Family based an Family orientated , where the family member could stay with the ones they loved, the ones that raised them, until this program they had no choice but to suffer and be separated from there family. There is a BIG difference in the program and the one you speak of. A group home should have NEVER been allowed to collect this money, Many Loved ones were just taken to day hab and basically kidnapped by the providers, because the got triple money for the person with IDD and the family's lost all they had. I know some who lost their homes, cars , and became homeless. THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR NO PROVIDER TO BE THIS GREEDY. There is a lot to say on the matter but this is clear to me . It's clearly about FAMILY.
Anybody can write a regulation or make an assertion of rights. To support people effectively with the resources available, that's the work. More than anything else, institutions are the compromises made to some concept of financial reality of the time. In 1976 I worked in a 22 bed group home where everyone shared a room. It was not what its creators had hoped it would be the day it opened, but for the people who came there from a state institution where they lived 50 to 100 people in a room, it was a better life. Advocacy to me, is not about creating a perfect world but about reaching for that better life.
If these person-centered "homes" are state controlled/run then these waivers will NOT be places people will choose to live. Apartment units, each with its own kitchen, bathroom(s), bedroom(s…depending on size of family) and individually rented with varying rent based on income is still marginalizing and medicalizing housing. The only truly "accessible' are those units or single family dwellings are those found under Housing Vouchers (similar to Sect. 8). When people have a common dining room, living room the "person-centered" is still a facility. This is bunching people with disabilities in an area rather than a mix of households. Maggie Dee Dowling, KUSF in Exile
This is a very complex issue. Many decisions in these rules need to be broken down for real life.
I have many questions to ask and many remedies to receive about these new rules. There is just not enough definition.
Its still about these non-profits with their own care coordinators and owning their own group homes. Lots of money to be made. I would say the majority of care coordinators/community mental health do not know the laws. they just do what they are told. A lawyer versed in disability law/Medicaid/ trust funds is about the only option people have. Comes down to money you have to pay a lawyer. Or have the money to own your house or build a house on your property for you loved one to live in or if your loved one is self sufficient enough live in a state that will actually let them live in a apartment with support. Trying to enforce laws and getting a lawyer to do their job is all about money. Its also about opposition from those very people/organizations that are supposed to advacate. sincerely, mom of a very disabled daughter in west michigan

Awwww... supercute pictures of baby animals!
AUSTIN, Minn. (AP) - A necropsy will determined if a raccoon that bit a 3-year-old girl near Austin had rabies.
The girl's mother stepped onto her porch Tuesday and saw the raccoon biting her daughter's arm. She kicked the raccoon away and her husband killed it.
The girl was treated for puncture wounds at Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin.
The Post-Bulletin reports police have taken a half-dozen reports from citizens in the last week about unusual raccoon behavior, including raccoons that appear lethargic and unafraid of humans.

Today I am delighted to welcome Morgan K. Wyatt to Delighted Reader. Turning over the reigns for her to talk more to you about her book, The Reluctant Cougar. Please help me welcome Morgan!
Guest Post by Morgan K. Wyatt
I heard about a submission call from one of my writing groups. It was for a cougar series. I wondered if I could do it. Never tried a cougar story before, my forte was historical romance with traditional couples with the man being the older one. Still, why not, I'd decided to give it a go.
For about two weeks, I typed like mad, chucking my tale full of real life touches from our local landscape. My limited experience with dating younger guys got thrown in too. Once I got up to the needed word count I sent it in not really expecting to hear anything.
Imagine my surprise when I heard from the publisher. Before long I was looking at cover designs, and getting notes from my editor, Larianne. The story I thought was so wonderful seemed to be full of mechanical and logic mistakes. I rewrote it with the help of Larianne's suggestions. I felt lucky to have such a good editor who helped me make my story tighter. Not everyone is so fortunate.
After about three revisions, Cougar was sent to a proof reader. Ironically, the proof reader disagreed with the changes the editor originally made. This was a little upsetting since I already changed my story once. I stood by some of the changes because I felt Larianne helped to make my story better, and tighter. In hindsight, I realize not everyone will agree with how a story unfolds. That's okay too.
The hardest part of the whole process was getting motivated to write in a different subgenre. The best part is the support I received from Secret Cravings.
The Reluctant Cougar by Morgan K. Wyatt
Genre: Erotic Romance
Heat level: 4
Publisher: Secret Cravings Publishing
Release date: December 1, 2011
The very last thing Ashlee expected was to meet a hot, younger guy Nick, at her boyfriend's funeral. The tall, soft-spoken man comforted her with stories of her boyfriend since he studied under him. Grateful for Nick's help and the shared connection they both shared with the deceased, they kept in contact.
Ashlee managed to ignore his hints for drinks and meetings putting it down to politeness. He felt sorry for her. There was no way he could be interested in a woman at least a decade older than him. That was until her work posse caught scent of the story and urged her to give the man a chance. Ashlee knew she had to be the most reluctant cougar in the history of womankind, but what did she have to lose?
Purchase links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Ashlee watched his lips move as he casually explained the process of replacing the old, rickety bridge. Not one of the more sexy subjects she'd ever heard discussed, but those lips made it very hot. Lifting up on her tiptoes, she braced her hands on his shoulders and kissed him, softly. Dropping her heels, she moved her lips out of range before he could kiss her back. Turning Ashlee walked away, surprised at her own impulsiveness. Right in the middle of a public park, she kissed him.
"Hey, wait, what was that about?" Nick lunged forward and caught up with a few long legged steps. The bridge ended and the bushes hid a wealth of birds calling and commenting in a variety of chirps and songs.
"Um, well…" Ashlee stalled, thinking of something clever to say. Putting her hands in her pockets, she walked a few more steps before stopping to study Nick's puzzled face. "I guess I wanted things to be on my terms. If I wanted to kiss you then I will be the one to do it."
Nick ran a hand over his face. "I'm cool with that. Maybe you feel the urge to kiss me coming on," he teased, causing her to smile.
They walked in silence for a few minutes as Ashlee debated about the wisdom of kissing him. Glancing around discreetly, she checked for walkers. Finding none, she turned toward Nick. He immediately stopped and held perfectly still, but his eyes were alert as he watched her. No easy way to steal a kiss from a tall man. Ashlee braced her hands on his shoulders as she stretched to meet his lips. Once her lips touched his, his arms went around her and snuggled her close.
His lips managed to be soft and firm at the same time. For a moment, she rested her lips on his, taking in the feel of his arms embracing her. His scent, a combination of some high-end cologne, sweat, and dryer sheet fragrance jumpstarted her libido into coming out of hibernation from the moment he touched her. Months had passed since she last had a man's arms around her. How did she forget how wonderful it could be? Did having a firm, younger body next to hers make it better? Finding out sounded like a discovery mission to her.
Moving her lips on his, she intensified the kiss. Ashlee's tongue slipped out, teasing the corners of his mouth and tracing the seam of his lips. Nick's arms tightened around her as he murmured encouraging sounds, opening his lips slightly. Amazingly, for once in her life, she was the romantic aggressor. Sliding her tongue past his parted lips, she ran it across his teeth before tangling with his tongue, giving Ashlee a sense of power. Nick's hands dropped to her ass pulling her hips even closer and talk about strong attraction. His stretched long and hard against her belly.
"Nice day we're having, isn't it?" a male voice called out.
It couldn't be Nick; his mouth covered hers. Nick's hands pivoted her to hide the front of his body from a grinning gardener complete with hedge clippers in his hands.
"Excellent day," Nick answered.
Why hadn't she seen the gardener? Cut branch limbs littered the ground indicating he'd obviously been working away for some time. All her thoughts centered on Nick and kissing him to the extent, she missed seeing the man.
"Lots of folks out on a day like this," the gardener continued, making such broad hints that even a lust-dazed mind could comprehend.
"You're right," Nick agreed, touching her elbow to turn Ashlee in the direction of the path.
The gardener's eyes twinkled a little as he called out, "Enjoy the rest of your day." Then he laughed as they turned to walk away. Nick assured him they would enjoy the rest of their day, drawing another laugh.
About the Author:
Morgan as a child had to suffer through movies with clueless heroines rescued by smart men. Her mother dutifully read her stories where princesses waited for princes to jumpstart their lives. There were no proactive female role models in the media at that time, with the exception of Wonder Woman. It is for this reason, and that it is fun, Morgan writes about strong women going after what they want, which is often a delectable cub. Those who wonder if the cougar tales have any reality to them should remember that writers often put themselves into every story they pen, even if it is a secondary character.

In or about 1888, it is my understanding that the Glendale and Pasadena school districts agreed upon a boundary line between their respective districts. The line they established is the one that is currently the boundary line between the Glendale and La Cañada Flintridge school districts.
Then, in 1976, the two unincorporated areas of La Cañada and Flintridge elected to incorporate. The architects of the new city chose to establish the western boundary of the city at Pickens Canyon, rather than making it contiguous with the boundary of the La Cañada school district. Thus, a large area of the new city was designedly not included within the LCUSD.
This is the historical accident that caused a portion of western La Cañada Flintridge to be within the Glendale Unified School District. At the time, the Glendale schools were among the highest performing in California and were well known for their excellence. The La Cañada portions of the new community were also not as highly desirable as they have since become. Thus, at the time of cityhood, the fact that the Sagebrush area was not within the LCUSD was not a matter of unhappiness.
Efforts in 1991 and again in 1997 to try to change the district boundaries failed and it seems likely that they will fail again. The main reason is the Education Code, Sect. 35753(a), which does not allow a change of district lines to the extent that it promotes racial or ethnic discrimination or segregation, as well any which would cause a substantial negative fiscal result for the GUSD and which could be seen as primarily designed to increase property values.

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. -- A Windsor Locks resident is asking police to investigate the vandalism of a lawn statue as a hate crime.
The Journal Inquirer of Manchester reports that someone decapitated Darlene Fraga's statue of the Virgin Mary on July 11 and replaced the head with a garden gnome.
Fraga's friend, Roger Cygan of Somers, this week offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. He told the newspaper that Fraga is very upset and views the vandalism as a hate crime.
Police Sgt. Frank Brown says police have no leads or suspects.

Did you know that when you promote creative learning for your child you're helping to improve all his/her learning skills? It's true. Creative learning involves fine and gross motor skills as well as cognitive skills, all of which come into play at some point in your child's education. Creative learning can give your children the kind of head start that will put them on the path to scholastic success.
Easels are a wonderful tool to promote creative learning, and children just love them. Big or small, there's an easel that is just perfect for your child here at SensoryEdge.
A 3-Way Adjustable Easel is the perfect tool for promoting creative learning among children of different ages. All three sides may be adjusted for each child's height, and because the boards are straight, not slanted, they are more accessible for wheel chair bound children. Optional chalkboard and dry erase panels are also available and help keep the creative learning fresh and fun.
Creative learning can take place anywhere, anytime, even in the back seat of your car on the way to Grandma's house. It will be your quietest road trip ever!

Season just cruising along
I cant believe how fast this season has been moving time really flies when youve been in the league as long as I have. We are already almost halfway through, and the All-Star break is going to be here before we know it. As a team, I think weve been on a roll as of late, and if you take a look at who weve beat recently, theyre some of todays most high caliber teams. I think if we can stay healthy, and focus on rebounding and finishing out games, we have a great chance of going deep into the playoffs. I know we have the mindset and the mentality in place, and now we just have to continue competing the way we have been and get the job done. Our first and only goal is to bring home Banner 18 to the city of Boston.
One of the things that has stood out the most to me so far this year is the way the rookies have really fit into our program. Theyve meshed very well with all of us and havent played like your typical rookies. Ive especially liked the play of Jared Sullinger. Hes been a great addition to our squad and has excelled for us, especially with his tenacity on the boards. Hes one of the best rookies in the league right now, and he deserves to be in the Rookie-Sophomore game at the All-Star break.
Weve been a completely different team with Avery back in the line-up. Hes really given us a shot in the arm. Having his presence on the defensive end has strengthened our play and given us that competitive fire that we were lacking. He brings a whole other level of intensity to our ball club, and I think hes also surprised some people outside of our team with his ability to knock down the open shot when he gets them. It feels good to have him back out there, and the key for us will be to keep everyone healthy as we head into the All-Star break.
You guys know that I take any chance I can to talk about one of my favorite rivalries. Being from Inglewood and a Celtic for life, theres nothing better in my opinion than a Celtics vs. Lakers matchup. I know the Lakers have been struggling recently, but dont write them off just yet. They have one of the best starting five in the league. Now that they have Nash back, Im sure hell get those guys gelling and flowing again. You can never count a veteran team like theirs out as you get towards the end of the season and into the playoffs. Glad we wont have to face them until the finals and thats where we aim to be. Maybe theyll be there too.
Well the postseason is still a ways away and we still have a lot of work to do. I can guarantee that well continue to work hard and keep this momentum going. Until then, well see you at the Garden. Lets go Celtics.

2 accused of stealing pricey golf clubs in Phoenix
PHOENIX — A man and woman have been arrested for allegedly stealing
expensive sets of golf clubs from resorts in the Phoenix metropolitan area,
authorities said Wednesday.
Phoenix police said Gregory Smithwick, 26, and Abigail Johnson, 27, were being
held on suspicion of property theft.
The two were selling the club sets _ valued at up to $3,000 _ to someone who
then sold them online, police said.
They said a victim at the Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale obtained the
license plate number from a suspected vehicle and that led officers to
Police began monitoring Smithwick's movements and noticed that he and Johnson
continuously traveled to golf resorts and neighborhoods in the Phoenix area at
varying hours of the day in February and early March.
The suspects were spotted at Pinnacle Peak Country Club on March 5 and police
saw Smithwick dressed like a golfer in a polo shirt, slacks and a hat.
Police said Smithwick was seen taking two sets of golf clubs from a drop-off
area, putting them in the cab of a truck driven by Johnson and then leaving the
country club.
Officers later stopped the vehicle, recovered the golf clubs and arrested
Smithwick and Johnson.
Police said two other sets of expensive clubs were recovered after a search
warrant was served and they've been returned to the owners.
It wasn't immediately clear Wednesday how many sets of clubs the suspects
allegedly stole. Police didn't immediately know if either Smithwick or Johnson
had lawyers.

NASHVILLE—What we learned while watching top-ranked Kentucky survive a huge second half from Vanderbilt and escape Nashville with a 69-63 victory Saturday night.
Good ideas don't always produce good results
Vanderbilt's game plan was obvious from the opening moments of Saturday's showdown. Coach Kevin Stallings wanted Kentucky's shot-blocking phenom Anthony Davis out of the game as quickly as possible. On Vanderbilt's first five possessions, the Commodores dumped the ball in the paint to big man Festus Ezeli, the senior who's listed at 6-11, 255 points. Four of those times, he went right at Davis, the skinny freshman who's 6-10, 220.
The theory was, obviously, to try and get an early foul or two on Davis, who came into the game averaging 5.3 blocks against SEC opponents. But the theory, while fundamentally solid, just didn't work. Problem was, Davis is fundamentally solid, too. While Davis didn't block any of Ezeli's shots, he didn't commit any fouls and he didn't give up any points to Ezeli. Ezeli misfired on his three shots—two of which seemed rushed—and he was called for traveling on the fourth possession.
And here's the unintended consequence of Vanderbilt's adjusted offensive attack. Because the Commodores' early offense was all about Ezeli, their two best offensive options did little more than run around and break a sweat. In the first eight minutes of the game, Vanderbilt's two leading scorers—John Jenkins (19.7 ppg) and Jeffery Taylor (17.8 ppg)—combined for exactly three shots and five points.
Taylor's jumper with 12:21 left made the score 12-11 Kentucky, and from there the Commodores' offense, out of its normal flow, stagnated. The Wildcats' offense, on the other hand, started creating open shots on almost every possession, and Kentucky rattled off a 13-2 run that put John Calipari's team in full control. The Wildcats entered halftime up by 13 points.
Vandy should stick with what works
In the first eight minutes of the second half, the Commodores gave the ball to their two leading scorers, Jenkins and Taylor.
Good call. They combined for 16 points in those eight minutes, and a 3-pointer from Taylor tied the game at 48 with 11:59 left in the game.
Funny how that works, eh?
About the only thing Davis doesn't do is make 3-pointers
Davis, Kentucky's freshman sensation—check that, one of Kentucky's freshmen sensations along with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague—has bum-rushed the favorites in the national player of the year competition since the start of the SEC season.
In the 10 SEC games heading into Saturday night's contest at Vanderbilt, Davis was averaging 15.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.3 blocks in league play. And he was averaging 33.8 minutes per game because there's no reason to take him off the court, aside from giving him the occasional breather. He committed just 16 personal fouls in those 10 games and only turned the ball over an insane five times. Seriously, five turnovers in 10 games.
As a point of comparison, Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger committed four fouls and gave up 10 turnovers on Saturday in a home loss to Michigan State. Obviously, that's an atypical performance from Sullinger, one of the leading player of the year candidates, but it shows how remarkably consistent Davis has been. And not just for a freshman, but for any player, regardless of age.
Because you know you were wondering, Davis is 0-for-6 from the 3-point line for the season. Everyone has to have at least one flaw.

Official U.S. Defense Dept. Contractor
PLANT INDEX No. 026200
CAGE code 3A382
The left inside pocket has a vertical opening with a brass snap for right handers. No right inside pocket for left handers. Leather locker loop above the label. Half circle patches of leather along lining in the underarm gusset area, in the same area as the riveted vent holes. YKK zipper. Buttons and leather tab on underside of collar for flipping collar up and closing it. Knit sleeves and waistband of unknown material. Storm flap along lower 2/3 of zipper has "USN" perforated. Real mouton collar is not removeable. No epaulettes. No insulation. Top entry only patch pockets on front. Back is one large piece of leather from the collar and shoulder seams, down about 4/5 of the way, to a small 1.5" strip of leather and another 4" strip of leather across the lower back. Leather has nice grain and is well dyed. No obvious defects or imperfections.
For those of us in the baggy clothes generation, think going up a size. I wear a 48 inch chest, fight as a Cruiser Weight, and walk around as a Heavy Weight. This garment in size XL fits squarely across my shoulders, and the bi-swing back allows my arms to move. A snug fit for that "fitted" look. Perfect for those guys who have "high & tight" haircuts, and look "tight" in the uniforms. With my 18" neck, I was able to comfortably close the slide fastener in front. I was able to flip the collar up with ease, but unable to close it with the strap and buttons.
I like my Golden Bear Sportswear A-2 for "fit & feel" more than this jacket, even though it's not "to spec" or "official issue". But then again, that is all very subjective. What "feels good" to me, may not "feel good" to anyone else.
Very good at keeping the wind and rain out. Today was about 35 - 40 degrees, and I was warm with just a Pendleton shirt for insulation. With just a t-shirt, like The Fonz, this jacket is perfect for fighting off the chill of California's whimsical weather patterns. Don't forget that "Happy Days" was "filmed before a live audience" on Stage 19 in the Paramount Studios lot, not on location in Milwaukee. On the East Coast, layer accordingly.
If you wear low-rise skinny jeans, and bend over a lot, then we'll all get to see your lower back tattoo. If you wear low rise skinny jeans, bend over a lot, and have a lower back tattoo......then perhaps you are reading the wrong forum.
An exceptional value at $239 when compared to the questionable quality of the Excelled Leather version. But I can't see paying the $400 MSRP.

I remember growing up as a teenager in Lebanon, a string of random bombings and targeted assassinations rocked Beirut and its Northern suburbs every other week or so for around 3 years. Today, the bombings are back, even though they might have changed in style and purpose. However, the "collateral damage" is still there, and even worse than before. With over hundreds killed and thousands injured, the overwhelming majority are innocent passerby, and most buildings are residential and commercial ones owned by ordinary folks like you and me.
Usually, when a bombing causes a said number of injuries, over 90% on average are cuts from flying shards of glass or other minor injuries that often need no hospital or are in and out of the ER in less than two hours. So, the 3M safety and security film for glass windows and doors ads are back, and it's an ominous reminder of the hell that is living in constant fear of the next bombing, and the precautions available, and even marketed, to bolster the "safety of your loved ones…"
Chin up Beirut, and stay safe.

Er, no wait, they didn't.
Much has been made about UK players switching at the free throw line. At one point in the game, a player (possibly Noel) was fouled. Noel stepped to the line but then made way for Poythress. It does look a little suspect because you don't see everything that is going on.
Here's what happened. A foul was called and Noel was going to the line. The UK bench made their case that Poythress was fouled and the refs were sending the wrong player to the line. The OFFICIALS CONCURRED (that means agreed) and said Poythress was the shooter.
"As I recall, there was some confusion over who the shooter was between Nerlens Noel and Alex Poythress. I know our bench was arguing that No. 22 was the shooter, and the official acknowledged it to the table that '22' was the shooter. And I didn't really think much more of it after that."
Peevy later posted on Twitter: "Our bench argued that Poythress was fouled & the ref notified the official scorer that #22 was the shooter. It wasn't a switch-a-roo."
There have been many, many times where the wrong player was stepping to the line, thinking they were fouled, and the official corrected them. It was never a story until now. It's only a story now because Kentucky is involved.
End of story.

Oh my goodness! I learned about Girardia in my microbiology class back in college. I think they said you could get it from dogs. I will look up more info late today. I think i still have that book out in my garage. I knew i hung onto all those old college science books for a reason. They have been taking up space in my garage forever. I'm just glad they know what is going on with her now. I'm pretty sure they can give her meds to get rid of it. I'm sure you have already looked it up and know everything there is to know about it but i just want to refresh my memory.
That stinks about your wisdom teeth! I need to get mine out too but have been putting it off bc i really don't like pain. :( HOpe you are feeling ok.
That is good that you have not given up on your weight loss. I've given up so many times it's not funny. Right now i have stuck with it for a couple of months. I'm still having problems "just saying no" to sweets at work. I've been doing pretty good with my working out though. Exercising has never been an issue for me. I like to workout when i get off work in the mornings. That way it's done for the day and keeps me awake on my drive home. I wanted to try and burn 1,000 calories on the elliptical this morning but my boss was late relieving me. She hates Monday's as much as i do. It's so hard to get up and awake on that first day back after the weekends. So she got in at 7:30am and i only did 30 min. I don't like getting home so late bc i never can sleep later than 12:30 or 1pm no matter what time i go to sleep. I forced myself to lay back down today and slept until about 2:20pm. I found that i burn 100 calories every 5 min. on the elliptical. I thought maybe i could do it in 45 but i don't know. I am going walking at the park in the morning. I usually do 40 min./2 miles but am going to add (5 more min/ 1/4 mile) more tomorrow. That should not be a problem bc i finally got my new mp3 player and it's soooo.... awesome!!! I can delete songs off it like a Zune and i only paid $29 for a 4GB player with a microSD slot for more room. I have been really trying to listen to my body when i feel like i am overdoing things. I wish i could just run and lose this weight quicker. I feel changes with my shape even though i'm not losing a bunch of weight. I'm toning back up and i love that! I know one thing, i don't want to lose these 30 lbs ever again. Once they are off this time, they stay off. Hurt or not. We leave for Rockport Saturday. I laid down tonight and all i could think about was the beach. I'm obsessed! And just tired of work and need a break really bad. I got the cutest pink chair today at walmart. It will be great for the beach. It's one of those kind that you fold up and put in the bag. It donates $1 to the Susan Koman breast cancer cure foundation. I thought that was cool. How have you been doing with the loss of your friend? I was thinking about you yesterday.
Well take care of that baby and yourself. I hope things calm down and get back to normal for y'all soon. Hope Nick is making some progress too. I know he is ready to start pumping that iron. Maybe when he is ready y'all can workout together! I have been loving going for those walks with Thomas. We have not gotten to go in two weeks bc i was out of town last weekend and this one we went to the beach. And boy was that a workout! Fighting those waves for several hours will wear you out! But it's all good!!! I love the beach. Just 4 more nights!! Only 3 more nights of work thank goodness. Later gator!

Ok i weighed myself after i came home from running errands today and i have finally lost a little weight. Bout time! I think i got my eating under control. Let's just hope this weekend with the girls does not mess me up. I'm going to try really hard to do good bc my weigh in day is Monday. That kinda keeps me motivated to stay on track on the weekends. And yeah, i don't think i want to do any specific diet plan. My schedule is just too weird. I only get about 3 hours sleep after i get off work now. I don't know what the deal is. Then i can't fall asleep in the evening for a nap either. I go to bed at 8 or 9pm on the weekends now and get up by 7am. It's crazy.
So did you get to do any exercise today? I'm supposed to walk when i get off but my feet hurt so bad! I need some new shoes. These Nikes i have are 2 years old but have many miles on them. I wanted to go ahead and walk tomorrow and take Fri. off bc of my Sat. morning walk with Thomas and the girls will probably be a long one. Last weekend we walked 1 1/2! But some of that was walking around the Garden Fair. Maybe 15 or 20 min. i guess. It was really cool though. Oh, and some was taking pics at the botanical garden. Well good luck girl! I hope Kate get's to feeling better soon. And God soothes your sarrow over your dear friend. Love ya!

Hey babe! Did you lose some more weight? What have you been doing? I'm trying so hard but this stupid weight is just not coming off like it used to. I don't know what the deal is. I guess it's my eating. I don't have it under total control yet like i did before. Almost though. It's a work in progress. Hey how is your throat thing? I assume it got better bc you have not said anything about surgery. How is Kate and Nick? I'm sooo... bummed we will not be here that Fri. y'all are coming. I thought you were talking about Sept. 30 but was not awake enough yet to realize Sept. does not have 31 days! I figured out you were talking about Oct. later on. :( We will just have to keep trying! I would love to come up to see you again eventually. It will happen. Life is just crazy. Well, good luck with the diet and exercise. I've been doing about 30 min a day. I skip a day now and then just to let myself recoup and to keep from hurting my back again. That scares me to death now. I will not dare try to run. I basically just stick to the elliptical and walking. Hope to hear from you soon! Have a great Tuesday!!!

Hi Karla,
No, I don't post on Provida. I really have a hard time keeping up with all the internet places I go to now LOL. I hope you can check in here from time to time. I will love to buddy up with you. Let's take it one day at a time. I need accountability and if I have one or two people that I know will check in once a day and me with them, it helps so much. This new team is helping and so is my new friend Serendipity. Hope to hear from you soon. I will try to check out Provida's chat. By the way, I am from Texas too!

SAIL wins award for CSR, sustainability
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) recently won the PSE Excellence Award-2013 for Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability in Maharatna and Navratna category.
Advisor to the Prime Minister of India, T K A Nair and Secretary, Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) O P Rawat presented the trophy and the certificate to Chairman, SAIL C.S. Verma in the award function held here on Monday.
In his acceptance speech, Verma dedicated the award to SAIL team and stated that while investing in addition of new capacities, SAIL would also invest more in social and sustainability initiatives.

SAIL said that its business activities have direct and indirect impact on the society.
It strives to integrate its business values and operations in an ethical and transparent manner to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development and to meet the interests of its stakeholders, officials said.
On the health front, SAIL has established super-speciality hospitals and primary health centres, to provide specialised and basic healthcare to people living in the vicinity of its Plants & Units.
SAIL owns, maintains and supports several schools in its steel townships to provide modern education to children.
SAIL has provided access to lakhs of people across villages in its peripheries by constructing and repairing of roads.
It has provided access to water infrastructure to people living in far-flung areas by installing water sources, thereby providing drinking water access to people over the years.
In order to bridge the disparity between rural and urban areas as also to provide comprehensive development of both physical and social infrastructure, many villages have been identified in 8 states as 'Model Steel Villages' for holistic development, SAIL noted.

The Suparnas (also known as Garudas) were probably the Falcon worshipping or falcon rearing Iranians who conquered the Naga territories of north west India. They could also be the Dragon worshiping Chinese people. They were arch-rivals of the Nagas. Garuda was a famous Suparna. They had the ability to fly in air without using an aircraft. Some literature tells that they had wings like that of Angels. Some believe that they were birds like the hawk or eagle. Some think that they were a race of intelligent Dragons in the family of Dinosaurs, that became extinct during the dawn of human civilizations.

Masi Oka gushes about Charlie's return to Heroes
But, as we TV critics like to bring up every now and then, the current season isn't nearly as good as that great first season. Maybe that's why Heroes is taking us back to season one, sort of, with the Nov. 2 episode, "Once Upon a time in Texas."
The ep follows Hiro as he travels back in time to try to change the events of season one's episode 8, in which he fell in love with Texas waitress Charlie, played by Glee's Jayma Mays. Fans of the show know that Hiro was unable to save Charlie from Sylar's clutches even though he tried more than once. Will he be able to change history this time?
Sort of. It's unlikely that Hiro will be able to save Charlie (guest star Mays is only slated to appear in the one episode), but Masi Oka says Hiro succeeds in another way:
".. Hiro finally gets his long awaited kiss [pictured up top]. His dream upon the thousand cranes, the origami in his left hand, came true," the actor told TV Guide.
But Oka stopped short of promising a happy ending, and he likens the Nov. 8 ep to "Company Man," the great season one episode that shed some light on HRG's dark past.
I'm not expecting a return to season one greatness here – honestly, who would at this point? – but I'm looking forward to this ep. If it's really anything like "Company Man" that means we're in for a more focused, emotional and character-centric story. That sure sounds a lot better than watching Emma stare at pretty colors and run away from Peter again.

An anastomosis is a surgical connection between two structures. It usually means a connection that is created between tubular structures, such as blood vessels or loops of intestine.
For example, when part of an intestine is surgically removed, the two remaining ends are sewn or stapled together (anastomosed), and the procedure is referred to as an intestinal anastomosis.
Examples of surgical anastomoses are:
- Arteriovenous fistula (an opening created between an artery and vein) for dialysis
- Colostomy (an opening created between the bowel and the abdomen)

The Chris Smith Signing Was A Good One
When news broke that the New York Knicks signed Chris Smith to a two-year deal, Knicks fans were shocked. Smith played on the Knicks' summer league squad, but was far from impressive. The summer league roster was chalk full of below-average guards, and Smith didn't perform well enough to stand out. Though, being the brother… More
Chris To Join JR In New York?
Chris Smith, who participated in the Knicks' summer league team this year, tweeted out the image above. He signed some sort of a contract, but right now, the details are unknown.

Brown Applauds "Strategic Pause" In Senate Defense Authorization Bill; Move Will Preserve Planes And Personnel At Youngstown Air Reserve Station For At Least An Additional Year
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today applauded the news that the Senate Armed Services Committee has included a "strategic pause" in the Senate Fiscal Year 2013 Defense Authorization (NDAA) bill. The Air Force had proposed a shift in aircraft that would have resulted in a loss of two C-130 aircraft at the Station. The move will preserve the current number of C-130 planes and personnel at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station (YARS) for at least an additional year.
"By operating fixed-wing sprayers, the 910th Airlift Wing at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station has a one-of-a-kind mission, often helping to assist in disaster relief," Brown said. "The Senate Armed Services Committee has done the right thing by including a strategic pause for the C-130 program, which ensures that the flying mission will remain at YARS for at least another year. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will be fighting to ensure that the funding is in place for the 910th Airlift Wing and YARS."

Bonjour Gateway
Aerohive has introduced native Bonjour awareness and control into our Cooperative Control architecture to support Apple's "Zero-Configuration Networking" for products in the enterprise and educational institutions. To make networks service-aware and make Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) with Apple devices a native part of every network, Aerohive has built a Bonjour Gateway to manage and control Apple service availability (such as AirPrintTM, AirPlay®, file sharing, collaboration applications, etc.) across an entire enterprise network. This patent-pending functionality is a native part of Aerohive's HiveOS network operating system, and even non-Aerohive legacy networks can manage their Bonjour services by attaching a single Aerohive device, via a trunk port, to the network – the gateway functionality works out-of-band.
Bonjour underlies many services that are widely used on Apple-centric networks. By monitoring Bonjour advertisements, clients can learn the location (IP address and port) of any service, and then connect to it as with any other service. Bonjour transforms the manual process of configuring IP addresses and port numbers into a "plug-and-play" experience where users reference services by type and a human-readable name. Two notable examples are AirPrint and AirPlay, which advertise themselves through Bonjour to enable clients to print and display screens, respectively. AirPlay is especially valuable in many contexts for remote display from iOS devices and will be available for display from OSX with Mountain Lion.
Managing Apple services across an enterprise network is now extraordinarily simple: Aerohive Bonjour Gateway allows service advertisements to bridge network boundaries and makes sure they're filtered based on identity, location, and time. By developing the industry's first intelligent edge architecture built to control the shift in smart mobile devices as the primary access device, Aerohive has once again shown that cloud-enabled networks with distributed intelligence provide inherent network-based mobile device management, corral the "iEverything" BYOD explosion, and simplify the very complex enterprise network problem of how to deal with high-speed mobile smart devices.

Kabayan gets ambulance-A A +A
Sunday, April 20, 2014
LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – The municipality of Kabayan has received an ambulance from the Provincial Government.
Mayor Faustino Aquisan requested the province to transfer to the municipality a lone ambulance unit without cost, agreeing to shoulder all repairs and maintenance of the unit.
"This municipality is very much in need of service vehicles for use during emergencies and for official businesses," Aquisan said.
The request was backed by the entire local council of Kabayan and endorsed by Aquisan.
"The Municipality of Kabayan adopted various programs to address the needs of its constituents. It is becoming one of the destinations of local and foreign tourists," the mayor added.
Department of Tourism reports showed Kabayan town as one of the top tourism destinations of the province, with Mt. Pulag, its lakes and caves being frequented by visitors all year round.
The chief executive said the implementation of programs is usually hindered by the lack of service vehicles including emergency response.
The spare ambulance of the province was just parked at the Benguet General Hospital compound and is not being utilized.
Aquisan committed to provide the necessary funds for the repair and replacement of worn out accessories of the vehicle.
The request was referred and approved by the Committee on Public Utilities, Transportation and Communication chaired by Board Member Jim Botiwey.
Botiwey and Committee vice chairman Benjamin Saguid approved the request last month finding no legal impediment in the transfer of the unit.

Chemical Reaction: The Power of Soap
By: Steve Herman
Posted: October 7, 2008, from the October 2008 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 3 of 3
One of the big risks is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The University of Virginia Hospital virtually eliminated MRSA, and Veterans Hospital in Pittsburgh reduced its infection rate by 85% through programs that require medical personnel to wash their hands before seeing a patient. The hospitals also make sure staffers wear clean uniforms, that all equipment is carefully cleaned, and that hospital rooms are scrubbed after each patient.
Our industry has products and the marketing knowledge that can save millions of lives, and both are critical for success. Between one and three million children a year can be saved just by manipulating hand washing behavior. Val Curtis, studying hygiene, disgust and human behavior, with the support of our industry and the humble soap bar, is saving many of them now.
