Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured
The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, chaired by James R. Tallon, Jr., is a bipartisan advisory group of 17 national leaders and experts in health care and public policy. Begun in 1991, the Commission is the largest operating program of the Kaiser Family Foundation and serves as a key resource for policymakers, the media, and organizations seeking information on health care for the low-income population and the Medicaid program. The Commission's work is conducted by Foundation staff based in the Foundation's Washington, DC office. For more information see the sections on Commission members and key staff contacts at right. The Commission's work focuses on key health policy issues at the national and state level, including Medicaid and health reform, access to care, and health care financing for the low-income population. The Commission provides timely, relevant and trusted information and analysis on health care coverage and access to care, the role of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, and coverage of the uninsured to inform policy discussions. The Commission collects and analyzes policy and data at the state and federal level on eligibility and enrollment; spending, coverage, and care delivery; long term services and supports; and Medicaid's role for high-need populations and dual eligible beneficiaries.

I have a 7.5 year old, 2nd grade, HFASD kid. His ASD issues are very subtle, many question where the dx is accurate. I believe it is an accurate dx, but he is doing very very well. So, we just got first term report cards and he received the lowest possible mark for writing. I know writing is a HUGE struggle for him, but I'm at a loss of how to help. Any parents a step or two ahead of us have any advice?
The issues are many, I think...
He writes very slowly. I've thought about doing fun timed writing assignments to see how many words he could get in a minute, challenge him to get more words a minute, provide rewards for hitting certain marks, etc.
He does not form his letters the proper way. His gen ed teacher sends home alphabet tracing sheets for him to practice writing from the top down. This seems insulting, to have him tracing alphabet sheets, he hates it. I'm of the mindset that it really doesn't matter at this point if he forms the letters correctly or not, the end product is very legible.
He is a terrible speller. His school does a "whole language" approach and they do not teach spelling. 1/2 way through 2nd grade and he's never had a spelling test...not in K, 1st, or 2nd. His spelling often mirrors his articulation-which he is in therapy for- (e.g. truck is "chruk") and there are a lot of vowel errors as well. I have debated googling spelling lists for K/1st grade (he's probably more at a 1st level for spelling, if I had to guess) and making him do spelling lists at home.
His verbal output FAR AND AWAY exceeds his written output. He can tell a very long, detailed story about the time he fell into the wood burning stove at our cabin and burned his hands and how we started driving toward the hospital over an hour away and met an ambulance on the carride and he went to the emergency room, etc. His written story about the same topic said something along the lines of "Once I burned my hands on a wood burning stove. It hurt. It really hurt." My current thought is to have him practice writing complete sentences to answer questions using reading comprehension passages I found by googling (e.g. he reads a passage and then writes his answers to the questions that follow the passage).
I've read this blog about writing and Aspies and it makes a ton of sense to me, but I am still left not really sure what I should be doing to help. FWIW, when he was last tested (in K) my son did not qualify for writing help on his IEP. Perhaps it's time to ask again. Also, I have trouble balancing figuring out how to balance this extra help with his assigned homework and him being a 7 year old kid that needs to work on making friends/social skills. I feel like I can't do it all. He's in school 6.5 hours a day, I cannot make him come home and work on all of these things, too.
He is otherwise a smart kid, perhaps gifted. On our district testing he qualifies for the 1st level gifted program (I don't think he qualifies for the 2nd level gifted). He scores 84%ile in reading & above the 99%ile in math. In contrast to the lowest mark possible in writing, he received the highest possible marks in math & science. He is in a language immersion program where his math & science is taught solely in Spanish. Reading & writing are taught in English. Despite learning math & science in a 2nd language that he is learning concurrently, he is still topping out the tests, working several grade levels ahead.
Sorry for the novel, I have just been feeling so defeated about this. His English teacher is very nice, but she is young & new & really doesn't know anything about ASD and all of this. She is usually just asking me for ideas on what to do with him and I am left feeling like she pretty much doesn't have a clue.
Anyone have thoughts/advice for me?

I had my mirena inserted September of 2007. I just had it removed today! I loved it for the most part. It was easy and something you dont have to remember and rarely had my period. The only down fall I had with it was bad depression, mood swings, and I lost my sex drive almost completly.

Ease of Use
The Mirena seems to be good but I only had it implanted 1 1/2 months ago. I do have some cramping and bloating for sure, and it may just be my eating habits but I have gaineda little weight. Also, my face, neck, and chest are a mess! Acne has NEVER been a problem for me but it is now and it seems like it is ever since I had the Mirena implanted. Has anyone else experienced any of these issues?

I've had it in for 5 YEARS and I am getting it right back in. I love this little thing no bleeding, no cramps, no clots, just great! I have never had any of the side effects and my sex drive is just as high as before. I've recommended it to all my friend, some have even gotten it and had no problem either. Don't believe all you read everyone is differnet and it is worth a try.

BEST, the public transport service provider in Mumbai, will operate a bus shuttle from the airport to various parts of the city only if it gets a dedicated lane. But experts have criticised the BEST's pre-condition as unacceptable
Moneylife reported yesterday how the absence of a dedicated bus shuttle at the Mumbai airport is leaving passengers stranded at the airport terminal for as much as two hours sometimes. (Read, You have landed at Mumbai. Where's the shuttle to go home? Part 1.) The problem is the scarcity of pre-paid taxis which are also expensive and the refusal by regular autorickshaw and taxi drivers to ply over short distances.
Transport experts are unanimous that a special bus shuttle with adequate luggage space for passengers going to and coming from the airport is required urgently. It should be well-connected with South Mumbai and the central and western suburbs, on the lines of a similar service that is available in Bangalore and Hyderabad.
However, BEST, the public bus transport operator that has a monopoly in Mumbai, has a different take on this. When Moneylife asked BEST why Mumbai doesn't have a bus shuttle transport to the airport like that in Bangalore and other cities, the chief public relations officer replied, "We are ready to start a dedicated bus service to the airport only if we are provided with dedicated lanes by the government and MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority)."
This reply has surprised activists, who say that the demand is unviable, in view of the overall transport situation and the traffic congestion in Mumbai.
"I am surprised that BEST needs a bus lane for starting a bus service to cater to all persons and passengers going to or coming from the airport to various parts of the city," says Ashok Datar, transport expert. "Literally thousands of people visit the airport every day, the proportion of those using buses is negligible as the buses are away and apparently meant for the employees. There are no bright indicators on the availability of buses to various areas with enough info and publicity. This is the basic reform."
BEST, currently, has a bus service to the airport. But it is a regular service used mainly by the staff working at the airport. "The current service by BEST is a regular one. Even for that the frequency of buses is less, and worse, the bus stops are often not visible," says Mr Datar.
Sudhir Badami, another expert, believes that the BEST should focus on the viability of starting such a service. "Such a reply demanding a dedicated lane to provide a dedicated bus service to Mumbai airport is inappropriate. Instead, the BEST should focus on bargaining on the viability of the buses, the fares, which RTO wouldn't allow to hike, and overall economic viability of the service. If they don't consider such things, then even giving a dedicated lane would prove unviable."
Jagdeep Desai, architect and founder trustee of the Forum for Improving the Quality of Life in Mumbai Suburbs, says that the demand for a dedicated lane is only an excuse not to provide the service. "Looks like some excuse to not give a service. Incidentally, some of the BEST buses of the JNNURM King Longs (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) were leased to Air India to transport passengers to and from the aircraft to the airport. This means they have surplus buses. Besides, the auto and taxi unions, as well as the fleet taxis, would also have a strong say in resisting such convenient and comfortable services."
Activist lawyer Mohana Nair recalls one such bus service by the BEST to the airport. "BEST had started a bus service from the airport (Sahar) via Santacruz to Colaba. It was not air-conditioned, but it was one of their star buses with a place in the centre for luggage. I remember seeing it in Sahar and talking to the conductor who seemed very proud of what they were doing, but said most people did not even know such a service existed. This was maybe three years ago, and it was discontinued as they did not have enough people travelling on it," she told Moneylife.
However, activists point out that the bus service should have enough luggage space, with a frequency of 15 minutes and the shuttle service should be easily identifiable.
Bangalore International Airport (BIAL) has a Volvo bus service, by the name of Vayu Vajra, that offers air-conditioned comfort to passengers and is available round the clock, providing connectivity between important areas of the city and the airport.
Similarly, in Hyderabad, the Aero Express bus service to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is a non-stop airport shuttle service from the airport connecting important destinations in the city. It is run by the GMR group. At Delhi airport, a recently started train service, the Delhi Airport Express, provides easy transport to passengers.

Anderson hails England resolve
Keep up to date with England's npower Test series against India with our in-depth day-by-day reports - plus all the reaction, highlights and photos
James Anderson knew persistence was the key to victory on the final day of the opening npower Test between England and India at Lord's.
The hosts needed nine wickets today to draw first blood in the four-match series, while the tourists required an unlikely further 378 runs.
The latter was improbable by lunch as India managed only 62 runs in the morning session for the loss of three wickets, two to Anderson.
England only managed one breakthrough in the afternoon session, but that was the crucial wicket of Sachin Tendulkar whom Anderson trapped in front.
They chipped away steadily with the new ball after tea, Anderson having the doughty Suresh Raina caught behind for 78 shortly before Stuart Broad sealed a 196-run win.
Anderson, who picked up his 11th Test five-for, said: "We knew at the start of day it was going to be tough because the pitch was pretty flat but we knew if we probed around off-stump...you never know what happens.
"We got a couple of edges and lbws and it turned out all right in the end. We knew there was something there for us. The second new ball did seem to swing a bit more but they're handmade so each one is very different to the rest."
On his dismissal of Tendulkar, the paceman added: "I wouldn't say I've got the upper hand, there are three Tests to go. But we are really happy with the way things are going at the moment."
Broad, who took three wickets in the second innings, added: "We set a target of five down at tea so we weren't panicking when we got spells without wickets. We applied the pressure all day and you can see the delight in the lads going 1-0 up in the series.
"We knew we'd bowled well at tea and created chances - we thought we were still in the game - and when we got the chances we took them."
Raina survived a strong lbw shout from the tall seamer late on, before departing to Anderson, and Broad continued: "There are certainly times I wished the DRS was involved in this series - but we fortunately managed to pick up the 10 wickets. We're certainly entitled to ask the reason why it was not out...I thought Raina was pretty close."
Kevin Pietersen, man of the match for his unbeaten 202 in England's first innings, said: "It's brilliant for the team but we know it's only one game out of four. We know it's going to be tough to keep dominating this great India team."

It's definitely all about posterior these days. From Nicki Minaj to Jennifer Lopez shaking their bootylicious assets in "Anaconda" and "Booty" respectively, every artist with an ample behind is putting it in the spotlight. Kat DeLuna of "Whine Up" fame is the latest to jump on the bandwagon.
The Dominican singer teams up with Trey Songz for "Bum Bum." The island-tinged offering samples Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam." For those not familiar with that, you might recognize the interpolation of Shaggy's reggae hit "It Wasn't Me." Since I adore that Shaggy hit, "Bum Bum" has grown on me.
Songz doesn't appear in the clip. Instead, it's all about DeLuna's derriere and gigantic anaconda-sized braid that's the primary focus. Check out the borderline soft porn clip below.
As much as Robin Thicke likes to think he's the Marvin Gaye of our time, I'd have to throw The Weeknd's name in the ring. Everything the Canadian crooner releases just oozes sex. "Wicked Games," "Earned It," and his latest "The Hills" are panty-dropping anthems if I ever heard them.
Fellow R&B singer Trey Songz tries to get his seduction on by covering the Fifty Shades of Grey hit. Sometimes there's too much of a good thing. Songz adds far too many ad-libs and melisma in an attempt to make the song his own. Don't take my word for it, check it out below.
Remember Kat DeLuna? Her debut single, "Whine Up," cracked the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 back in 2007. Well, the 27-year-old singer returns and with a decently catchy comeback single.
The Dominican singer teams up with Trey Songz for "Bum Bum." The island-tinged offering samples Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam." For those not familiar with that, you might recognize the interpolation of Shaggy's reggae hit "It Wasn't Me."
"I'm so excited for the world to hear my amazing new song 'Bum Bum' with the incredible Trey Songz," said Kat to Rap-Up.com. "This song is evidence that music transcends generations, and for that I want to specially thank Sister Nancy for originating such an incredible song that left its musical imprint culturally for years to come. I hope 'Bum Bum' becomes your summer anthem!"
To accompany her hot new single, DeLuna debuts equally scorching artwork. Dang, that's one sexy cover.
Check out "Bum Bum" below. It's got potential to be a sleeper hit for this summer. The tropical beat go perfectly with those hot summer days and hotter summer nights.
I love all kinds of music. From folk music to dance anthems, and pop tracks to country tunes, you'll find all genres represented very well in my iTunes library. But no matter what phase I go through, R&B will always be my first love… especially slow jams. The latest track from Trey Songz is totally up my alley. So glad that R&B is making a bit of a comeback after being barely nonexistent in the 2000s.
"Fumble" is one of my favorite tracks from Songz's fifth studio album, Chapter V, released last summer. I'm happy that he finally released a music video for it. Given that it's probably the last official cut from the album, the video is what you would expect. It's concert footage spliced with some standard studio shots. That said, the black and white clip directed by Manuel Concha provides a nice backdrop to the 28-year-old singer's emotional outpouring. The Swedish director begins it with Trey giving a heartfelt apology to a woman for being the man less than what she deserves. Check it out below.
"It's basically a song about having the one person that'll do whatever for you, the one person that'll go to the end of the world and back, and you not realizing it until it's damn near too late," Trey Songz said to Billboard. "It's essentially about having someone's heart in your hands and dropping it."
It's been quite a while since we did a Who'd You Rather post, so I thought I get the ball rolling with these two hotties for the first boy battle of 2013. With the Box Office success of Texas Chainsaw 3D, I thought I thought it'd be a great time to highlight the leading man from the film: Trey Songz. Although I haven't seen it, in one of the production stills of the movie, the 28-year-old is shirtless and looking fine. The actor/singer has a really hot body and I love his tattoos.
Inspired by Songz's tattoos, I thought I'd find another black, tattooed hottie to put him up against (…and my mind just went into the gutter :p..). I chose 26-year-old Devin Thomas, a super former NFL football player who retired from playing the sport professionally in 2012 to avoid any permanent injuries and so he focus on settling down with his wife. Both are super handsome and have insanely hot bodies with the only difference being that Thomas (given that he was a football player) is a bit beefier and has more tattoos.
Good luck with this one because as I write this, I still haven't even decided. They're both super sexy and have their unique selling points (actor/singer vs. football player, etc.).
Get ready to hear this catchy tune at the club soon – I'm almost certain it's going to catch on in bars everywhere. It's just one of those songs…. like, "Shots, shots, shots, etc."
In this new music video from Trey Songz, we learn the "2 Reasons" why he and T.I. go to clubs because, well the reasons are revealed in the chorus: "I only came here for the bitches and the drinks." At least they're honest right? LOL. The video was shot in Atlanta and directed by Benny Boom and features the boys partying at the bar while girls get drunk and celebrate someone's birthday – as they do.
His new album titled 'Chapter V' will be released on August 21. Check out the video for "2 Reason" below.
For this week's featured new release, I decided to tackle four female singers or acts that have made their mark in music forever. And, it just so happens that they are all releasing CD/DVD combos of previous tours on this week. These gals are Adele, Beyoncé, Dixie Chicks and Kylie Minogue. Here are the specs on all of their discs.
Check out more new releases coming out this week below!

good quality, fit was good, just the foot part was a bit long. They are material wise very similar to hospital compression stockings.
The stockings were good quality.

The recent researches in wireless networks prompt the opportunistic transmission that exploiting channel fluctuations to improve the overall system performance. In wireless ad hoc networks, nodes may have packets destined to multiple neighboring nodes. We consider an opportunistic scheduling that takes advantage of time-varying channel among different receivers. Maximizing over system throughput and satisfying QoS requirements for transmission flows are two important objectives that need to be considered. In this paper, we formulate the opportunistic scheduling problem as an optimization problem which maximizes the overall network performance while satisfying QoS constraints of individual flows. We also proposed COS, a distributed cooperative and opportunistic scheduling algorithm, which modifies IEEE 802.11 protocol to implement the optimal scheduling policy by introducing the cooperation among neighboring transmitters. Simulation results indicate that our implementation achieves higher network throughput and provides better QoS support than existing work.

I have succesfully installed Doxygen and GraphViz on my mac (running Lion OS), but when I run doxygen with graphViz I get following error messages:
1) sh: dot: command not found
2) Problems running dot: exit code=127, command='dot', arguments='"/Users/../xxx.dot" -Tpdf -o
3) error: problems opening map file /Users/.../xxx_graph.map for inclusion in the docs!
If you installed Graphviz/dot after a previous failing run,
try deleting the output directory and rerun doxygen.
It must be a problem with my Graphviz/dot paths, but I dont know how to solve it.
I have already installed Graphviz using MacPorts but I still get the same error messages.
What could I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

For that, I think I need one more primary partition but when I run the ubuntu installation disk, I don't know where I need to install it. The disk names in ubuntu are confusing.
If I can install with wubi, how do I do? It has only two options and does not have any option to install ubuntu alongside windows.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Posted by Reviewer1883037 on Nov 20, 2011
Love it! Not only is it good for you, but it taste good too!
Posted by jellybellyup on Oct 07, 2013
The only thing wrong with this jam is that there wasn't enough! I loved the tart taste, with just a hint of sweetness. Perfect! I also liked that there were lots of actual berries; it made me feel like I was eating something I'd made at home. Also, the price is a bit steep, thus giving me just enough reason to leave a 4 instead of 5 star rating. As I'm no jelly expert, I hope that is a just call. I would buy it again, but only as a rare treat to myself.

Very nice, not sweet like other traditional jams so I guess this proves the goodness of this product. The shipping and arrival times were excellent.

A man and woman have been found dead following an earlier
shooting attack a home in rural Victoria in which six
children were close by.
Police say the saga began when a man in his 40s shot and
injured a 40-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man at a house
in Kerang late on Saturday evening.
It ended 30 kilometres away, with the discovery of the
gunman's body and that of a second woman at an address in
Murrambit West in the early hours of Sunday.
Inspector Jamie Templeton said the gunman was known to the
victims in the Kerang attack, and that six children were in
the home at the time but had been able to escape.
"They were at the home but not in the vicinity of the alleged
male offender," he told ABC Television.
"They went out the back door as soon as the shots went off."
The gunman shot the 40-year-old woman in the neck and the
hand and the 47-year-old man in the upper chest, he said.
The injured man and a neighbour were able to overpower the
gunman and disarm him before he fled the Kerang residence,
Insp Templeton said.

I think you mean Norm, not Ron, Arkans.
Yes, it's Norm Arkans.
Ye Christ, I remember going to protests for this in my "Campus Activist" period in 19-fawking-98. Good that it's finally happening, but there's a bleak humor in it having taken so long. Maybe they could contract through American Apparel.
There's a hilarious parody ad waiting to happen in that idea.
that is well-intentioned but pointless. define sweatshop.
Chris, how can you possible assume that you know enough about the UW anti-sweatshop group's work and the UW policy to call this "pointless"?
Are you actually saying that you know what the UW policy is and know it to be too vaguely worded?
Such policies are very specific in detailing the criteria that a factory must meet in order to do business with the university in making apparel. You could always take issue with any particular part of the policy, but it's just lazy to presume the folks involved in this campaign have taken a vague, undefined approach to their work.
One (fairly conservative) definition of a sweatshop is conditions where "a worker is oppressed to the point that he or she must work in excess of ten hours a day, be subjected to constant health and safety dangers, suffer physical abuse by employers, and still struggle to put food on the family" (Wong et al, "Sweatshop Slaves", UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education, 2006).
The Designated Suppliers Program that the UW just adopted would primarily address the above working conditions by:
a) requiring that apparel brands like Nike pay factory owners enough money to pay workers a living wage (based off the costs of regional baskets of goods)
b) requiring that apparel brands and factory owners respect workers' right to form a union or other representative body.
To ensure that the above points are observed, an independent monitor called the Worker Rights Consortium, would continually check to see if participating parties are in compliance with the specifications of the program.

Oh, and American Apparel isn't that great of an alternative. They are anti-union and the owner of the company has had multiple charges of sexual harrasment filed against him...

National Book Awards: Jesmyn Ward's 'Salvage The Bones' WinsBreaking News
NEW YORK — The National Book Awards ceremony, held just blocks from the Occupy Wall Street protests, was a gilded tribute to the 99 percent.
Stories of resilience in the face of poverty, displacement and disappearance were awarded Wednesday night as hundreds of writers, editors, publishers and other industry officials gathered under the 70-foot ceilings of the luxury venue Cipriani Wall Street.
"I thought I should point out, since nobody else has," said poet Ann Lauterbach, who introduced honorary winner John Ashbery, "that we are occupying Wall Street."
Jesmyn Ward's "Salvage the Bones," a bleak but determined novel about a black community in Mississippi devastated by Hurricane Katrina, won the fiction prize. Ward's acceptance, the culmination of a night of emotional speeches and tributes to those who had been silenced, noted that the death of her younger brother had inspired her to become a writer.
