My 8 year old child has been asking a lot of questions about where words came from. Does anyone have recommendations for an etymology book that is appropriate for elementary school children?

There are few books about etymology that are appropriate for adults let alone 8 year-olds. You might want to get a good unabridged dictionary (e.g., Webster's 3rd, American-Heritage) and point out the etymologies for almost all entries.
There is a Ten-Minute History of English available on YouTube (link), but it might be more appropriate for teens.
I'll take a look at my linguistics library and see if I can find something ... you might think about getting a book geared to adults and reading it out loud to your child and trying to answer all his questions._________________________

A few years back I had read this book by Linda Goodman, "Star Signs". She has allocated a number of pages on the topic "Lexigramming". It was quite an eye opener for me.
The other idea is to use www.dictionary.com- they have given details about the words. I guess the second choice I mentioned is easier to grasp for anyone.

Net metering's the topic (which you probably guessed). The electric utility has predicted dire straitsFrom cross-subsidies embedded within retail rates.The solar community stands up in alarmAnd declares that truly there has been no harm(with ads from both sides that at times have lacked charm). What will happen today as the positions unravel?Will there be resolution at the sound of the gavel?With statements and emotions at times vitriolicWe stand by and monitor (somewhat melancholic)Wishing the proceeding became more bucolic.In closing, the purpose of this Seussian missiveIs to beg that the parties become less derisive.For tomorrow's a new day – we can only surmiseThat like the Phoenix of legend the sun will still rise.And all parties to which this debate has comprisedMay someday too begin to surmiseThat the battle's not lost when we all compromise(less has been done for the Nobel Peace Prize).One observer's reaction to a day of testimony on the net energy meeting hearing at the Arizona Corporate Commission, November 13, 2013.

UPDATE 5/18/11 1:00 PM PST: Microsoft's Major Nelson has confirmed that the firmware update that is causing disc read errors is in fact not related to the May 19 mandatory firmware update, but a previous update. Therefore, if you haven't been affected by the error yet, chances are you won't be as the new format has been through "rigorous tests" and MS has seen no known compatibility issues.
Microsoft has announced that the new mandatory Xbox 360 firmware update releasing May 19 to integrate the use of a new disc format will brick some 360 models. The company issued a statement saying that some users will experience disc errors when upgrading their firmware and the error will read "disc unreadable" or "disc unsupported" after completing the update.
"Following a recent update to our system software, we have become aware of an issue that is preventing a very small number of Xbox 360 owners from playing retail game discs," Microsoft said. While the error will be automatically logged, the company is "proactively reaching out to customers that may be impacted to replace their console." For anyone having problems Microsoft urges you to get in touch with Microsoft support so they can verify your console has been impacted and help fix it as soon as possible.
Microsoft is planning to replace an unspecified number of Xbox 360 units with new 250GB Xbox 360 S consoles, according to EuroGamer.
The new firmware is to prepare the Xbox 360 for use with the new XGD3 disc standard, which adds 1GB of useable data to 360 DVDs and also will add Paypal support.

But we have one issue: they poop in the house and there's nothing we can do about that, given that I-5 thunders past our house and several neighbors' cats have met their end on the freeway.
Over the last few years we've tried several cat litter solutions, and none of them has been ideal.
Traditional cat litter. Works fine if you like to scoop it out several times a day. We don't really have a great place to put it. For a while I used the World's Best Cat Litter which did work great - you could get rid of clumps down the toilet as soon as they appeared - but it was so expensive that frankly, my dears, our girls may as well have been pooping on shredded dollar bills.
Littermaid: Enter the Littermaid, automated solution 1, promptly christened the Crap-O-Matic. Here's how it works: The cat enters the litterbox, activating a little sensor, does its business, and leave. Twenty minutes later, the cleaning mechanism sweeps across the top of the litter, pushing litter clumps and other assorted nastinesses into the little plastic box. When the box is full (which doesn't take long), you slap a lid on it and drop the sealed box into the trash. Advantages: it cleans itself! Kind of. Disadvantages: Noisy. Because the litter clumps on contact with urine, the box fills up incredibly fast, and can be kind of gross to take out. Empying the litter tray is awkward and clumsy. However, the cats did take to it very well, and without incident.
Purrforma: Christ, I hated the Purrforma. Crap-O-Matic II came about because the Littermaid (our second) died, and PetCo didn't have a replacement. Plus, you know, it was on special. It lasted about a month and a half. And it is not cheap. Here's how it differs from the Littermaid: instead of using little plastic containers, clumps are swept into specially designed plastic bags. These plastic bags, while cheaper than the Littermaid boxes, are a pain in the butt to fit. The litter tray comes with clear plastic liner trays, which in theory make it much simpler to clean the box. In practice, the liner trays were never in stock in our local pet store, and Amazon had only the wrong size in stock. I hated the Purrforma.
Enter Scoopfree. O Scoopfree, self-cleaning catlitter box of my heart! How I sing your praises! I love how you make hardly any noise. I love how replacing the catlitter is incredibly simple (I just raise the mechanism and slide one of the new cartridges under). I adore the fact that the cat litter cartridges are easy to store and I never have to handle the unbelievably gross output of two very cute cats. I love how the cats don't track litter through the house (though this is also a result of the Tall Fella putting a barricade of scratchers around the box itself). And most of all: with two cats, we touch the litter box at the very most every two weeks - with no smell at all! This is because it uses crystals rather than clumping litter so that nasty odors are absorbed, leaving harmless and unscented residues to evaporate.
Negatives. Why, apart from the alarming tendency to make you a cat litter evangelist, none! Not quite true. The cartridges are almost $15 each, so it costs close to $30 a month. But that $30 lets us get away with ignoring the cat litter issue all month, with maybe 5 minutes every two weeks spent changing cartridges. Your apartment not spelling of cat poop? Priceless.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Jack Morris won don a Detroit Tigers uniform for the final time in 1990, the year this Topps card was printed. He bounced back from his worst season in Detroit by going 15-18 with a 4.51 ERA and leading the AL in starts (36) and complete games (11) but also earned runs (125). Morris became a free agent after the season and signed a one-year deal with his hometown Twins. He finished 198-150 in 14 years with Detroit, compiling a 3.73 ERA with 154 complete games.

Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

In an op-ed published a couple of days ago (Thursday, 9/29/11) in the Union Leader, a New Hampshire newspaper, Mitt Romney reiterated his passion to "cut, cap and balance":
Since President Obama assumed office two and a half years ago, federal spending has accelerated at a pace without precedent in recent history, taking us from an already staggering $3.5 trillion in federal spending in 2010 to a projected $5.6 trillion within the next decade.
This is the financial equivalent of speeding against traffic on a superhighway. It's dangerous. It has to stop.
A household cannot become prosperous by spending all its money and running up a credit card bill.
Neither can a government or a country. Instead of putting the United States on a path toward economic recovery, the Obama administration's spending binge threatens to turn us into another Greece, a chronic debtor state teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
The indicators are all equally alarming. Since the 1950s, federal spending as a percentage of GDP has hovered around 20 percent.
When President Obama took office, it shot up to 25 percent, a level not seen since World War II. Before the recession, the federal government spent $25,000 per household. That number has now soared past $30,000 and is on track to hit $35,000 within the next decade.
All this money has to come from somewhere. If President Obama stays in the White House for another four years, some of it will come from the higher taxes the administration is seeking to impose. The rest of it will have to be borrowed. Before Obama assumed office, our country's indebtedness was 40.3 percent of GDP. Current projections have it hitting 69 percent this year.
If anyone wonders why unemployment is stuck above 9 percent, and why some 25 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or are no longer looking for work, we should pause on that 69 percent figure. Every dollar that the government borrows for its operations is a dollar that cannot be invested in productive private sector activity. Runaway federal spending crowds out private investment. At a moment when the public sector is flourishing as never before, it is unsurprising that the private sector has withered.
I have spent most of my life in the private sector, starting companies and turning around failing ones. What the federal government is doing today is a classic formula for ruin. I know how to set priorities and rein in costs.
In 2003, I became governor of a state hobbled by a deficit and shedding jobs as it came out of a recession. Working with a legislature under solid (85 percent!) Democratic control, I cut taxes 19 times, reformed and reorganized state government, and balanced the budget four years in a row. By the time I left office, Massachusetts employers were once again hiring, and the state had a rainy-day surplus of $2 billion.
The steps we must take to undo the damage inflicted by Barack Obama are as obvious as they are politically difficult. We must cut government spending, cap that spending at a sustainable level — 20 percent of GDP is the target I would shoot for — and pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. Cut, cap and balance are three words that are spoken far too rarely in Washington. But they embody my approach.
I will press for full repeal of Obamacare, which will save hundreds of billions of dollars. I will reduce the size of the federal workforce and align the wages and benefits of federal workers with the private sector. And I will set about the hard work of fundamentally restructuring the federal government.

College visit turns tragic for California studentsap photo
As two trucks lift, an excavator, helps push the remains of a tour bus onto the bed of a flatbed truck Friday as it is removed from the scene of a multi-vehicle accident in Orlando Calif. At least 10 people were killed and dozens injured in the fiery crash Thursday between a FedEx truck and a bus carrying high school students on a visit to a Northern California College.
ORLAND, Calif. A college visit by more than 40 high school students turned tragic when a FedEx tractor-trailer veered across a grassy highway median and slammed into their bus in a fiery wreck that left 10 people dead in Northern California, authorities said.
Someone kicked out a window on the bus, and many of those aboard squeezed through and ran for their lives Thursday to the other side of Interstate 5 before the vehicle exploded in flames.
The 44 teenagers aboard, nearly half from the Los Angeles school district, were participating in a program that invites prospective low-income or first-generation college students to visit Humboldt State University in far Northern California.
Steven Clavijo, a high school senior from Santa Clarita who planned to enroll at the school, was trying to catch a nap on the bus when he felt the vehicle begin to shake from left to right and then he heard a loud boom.
We knew we were in major trouble, he said.
After he escaped, two more explosions soon followed. Clavijo and other survivors looked on, knowing others were still trapped in the inferno.
Both drivers were killed, along with three adult chaperones and five teenage students, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Towering flames devoured both vehicles just after the crash, and clouds of smoke billowed into the sky until firefighters doused the fire, leaving behind scorched black hulks of metal. Bodies were draped in blankets inside the burned-out bus.
Most of the people who died were found on the ground in front of the bus or in the front portion of the bus, Glenn County Sheriff Larry Jones said. Identifying the victims might require the use of dental records or DNA, Jones said.
CHP Lt. Commander Bruce Carpenter said one person was seen running from the bus on fire. The person later died after being taken to a hospital, he said.
Three buses were traveling to the school, but only one was involved in the wreck, said Earl Perkins, assistant superintendent of operations for the Los Angeles schools district. The bus that crashed was traveling a few hours behind the other two.
Nineteen of the students on the bus were from the Los Angeles schools, Perkins said.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to investigate.
Every piece of paper associated with this will be looked at, said Eric M. Weiss, an NTSB spokesman.
The California Highway Patrol said Friday investigators were looking into various factors to determine what caused the FedEx tractor-trailer to veer across the median and hit the bus.
Those factors include whether the FedEx driver fell asleep, experienced mechanical failure or lost control because of a separate collision on the southbound side of the freeway, Lt. Scott Fredrick said at a news conference. Authorities also will probe roadway and weather conditions.
Since these are such in-depth, detailed investigations, we dont expect to have a final report for a minimum of three months, 90 days, Fredrick said. It could take as long as six months depending on what the investigation entails.
The crash happened a little after 5:30 p.m. on the interstate near Orland, a small city about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
The bus was among three the university had chartered as part of its two-day Preview Plus program to bring prospective students from Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area to tour the Arcata campus, according to university officials. The other two buses made it to campus, and the university was providing those students with counseling.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

Op-Ed, The National Interest
November-December 2011
Author: Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs; Faculty Chair, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
"THE UNITED States has been the dominant world power since 1945, and U.S. leaders have long sought to preserve that privileged position. They understood, as did most Americans, that primacy brought important benefits. It made other states less likely to threaten America or its vital interests directly. By dampening great-power competition and giving Washington the capacity to shape regional balances of power, primacy contributed to a more tranquil international environment. That tranquility fostered global prosperity; investors and traders operate with greater confidence when there is less danger of war. Primacy also gave the United States the ability to work for positive ends: promoting human rights and slowing the spread of weapons of mass destruction. It may be lonely at the top, but Americans have found the view compelling.
When a state stands alone at the pinnacle of power, however, there is nowhere to go but down...."

AFCARS requires the reporting of race and Hispanic/Latino Origin on children in foster care, children who have been adopted, foster care providers, and adoptive parents. As noted in Appendices A and B of the Federal regulations at 45 CFR 1355, in the sections related to the instructions for foster care and adoption data elements, race and Hispanic/Latino origin information is based on how a client/adult perceives him/herself, or in the case of young children, how the parent identifies the child. This means the information on race and Hispanic/Latino Origin is to be self-reported by the individual. Additionally, racial and ethnic information should be collected and stored as separate pieces of information about the client.
Workers must ask clients this information and not make assumptions on which and how many races a person may be and whether the client is Hispanic or Latino or not. When a worker, rather than the client, makes this determination, he or she may be under-representing all possible races.

Should feeding meters more than 2 hours warrant ticket? Meeting todayStaff Report | February 07,2013
The Public Safety Committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. today in the downstairs conference room at Rutland City Hall to discuss a request to enforce the law against feeding downtown meters for more than two hours at a time.
In January, Michael Coppinger executive director of the Downtown Rutland Partnership asked the Board of Aldermen to have the Public Safety Committee discuss a more active enforcement effort regarding the portion of the city parking ordinance forbidding motorists from taking up a downtown meter for more than two hours.
The board discussed the provision in 2011 when they altered the parking fines, noting that the new handheld devices the city police used for parking enforcement made it easier to track how long a car had been in a given spot. The board made no move to call for a greater enforcement effort of the two hour rule, though.
Coppinger previously brought up the two-hour rule in a notice that went out asking downtown employees to keep the spaces open during the Christmas shopping season.
"Basically, I'm doing the bidding of the first-floor merchants," he said. "I've had a couple of merchants, both prior to the holiday season and post-holidays, bring it up to me. I've done everything in my power to educate folks and let folks know that it is a problem to have long-term parkers feeding the meter every day."
Coppinger said he would not claim that a lack of on-street spaces drives shoppers away from downtown, but he said the spaces were still an issue.
"Making it convenient for shoppers is the job of my organization and should be the job of the city as well," he said.
"There are designated long-term spaces for a reason. ... My hope is that, through education, long-term parkers will make the right decision."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

After capturing the District 29 championship in George West less than a week before, Beeville dropped its first two games at the Texas East Section IV tournament and was eliminated.
"My boys played their hearts out and never gave up," Jimmy Arguijo said. "It was an awesome experience overall.
"It's been a long time since the major boys even got this far. We will start getting ready for next year."
Beeville fell 11-0 to Lamar National in the first game on Friday and dropped an 18-2 four-inning decision to Hallettsville on Saturday.
Against District 18 champion Lamar, Beeville fell behind 2-0 after two innings and could never recover.
C.J. Arguijo worked his way out of a jam in the first, sitting down three straight after giving up a leadoff triple.
He wasn't able to repeat that in the second, though.
Brandon Kostelnik led off the inning with a double and scored three batters later on a bloop single into right.
Lamar added another when Will Dolan drove in Cole Varni with an RBI single to left.
Beeville threatened in its half of the second when Matthew Perez and Matthew Gomez reached on a single and walk, respectively, to put runners at first and second with nobody out.
A fly out to center and back-to-back strikeouts ended the threat, though.
Lamar, meanwhile, tacked on three in the third, four in the fourth and two in the sixth to pull away.
Beeville advanced just two runners past first over the final four innings.
On Saturday, Beeville again fell behind early and never recovered against District 31 champion Hallettsville.
Hallettsville's Ryan Schindler led off the first with a single and scored the go-ahead run shortly thereafter.
Hallettsville led 3-0 after one and never trailed. Hallettsville sent 12 batters to the plate in the second and scored nine runs to push the lead to 12-0.
The lead was out to 18-0 before Beeville scored a pair in the fourth.
Perez opened the inning with a walk and came around for his team's first run. Felix Menchaca, whose single drove in Perez, scored Beeville's second run.
Despite the losses, J. Arguijo was still upbeat about the season as a whole.
"It feels good to get a team that had four kids who had never played ball and be able to coach them along with assistant Lauro Garcia and make them into baseball players and take first play for Beeville Little League."
He added that winning the district crown was special for him.
"It was something all coaches want and dream of, but working hard and doing it was all a team effort, coaches and kids. It was one team, one dream.
"They're not only my team, but they're our boys. We became one team, one unit. And believing in themselves is what took them a long way."

It wasn't that long ago when high-flying aerial acts crisscrossed America, thrilling crowds, cheating death and pushing their machines to the limits … and sometimes beyond.
Everywhere these performers went, their stunts gained notoriety and attention, some of it unwanted.
This slideshow looks back at a period of American history that was as short-lived as some of its performers. Keep clicking for America's history of barnstorming and flying circuses.
If you've ever wondered why they called it barnstorming – this image may give you an idea. Some pilots did indeed fly their planes through barns or hangars, or other large open structures. However, barnstorming was also used to describe some political campaigning and other touring shows.
The 1920s were the glory days of barnstorming.
The time period witnessed a barrage of stunts. This photo was taken around 1918. It shows the "Human Squirrel" who did stunts for the benefit of War Relief Funds in New York City. This photo shows him above Times Square.
And early automobiles also provided opportunities for new thrills.
But it was the barnstormers who captured the nation's imagination.
The rise of the barnstorming was fueled by several factors.
One factor was the end of World War I.
When the war ended, the military had a surplus of training aircraft, especially the Curtiss JN-4, known affectionately by pilots as the Jenny. This photo of a Jenny was taken in 1919.
The Jenny's top speed was about 75 mph. It could fly up to about 6,500 feet.
Many enlisted men who had learned to fly these airplanes were able to buy them because the government sold them off cheaply.
Some who bought the planes looked to turn them into moneymakers. One way of doing this was barnstorming, which was also sometimes referred to as a flying circus.
Typically a group of barnstormers would attract attention by flying over a town and dropping leaflets.
Some of the flyers played it fast and loose to get attention -- this photo was doctored.
This flyer advertises Clyde Pangborn's stunt in San Diego, California.
The pilots would organize an event at a farmer's field or any large open area, and townspeople would show up to watch the show and buy tickets for personal flights.
As time went on, the acts became more and more brazen. This photo shows stunt men Ivan Unger and Gladys Roy "playing tennis" on a moving airplane.
Here, stunt man Clyde Pangborn leaps from a moving car toward a ladder dangling from a plane. The photo was taken in 1920.
Things did not always go as planned. This photo shows stunt pilot Howard Casterline who crashed his Jenny into a tree in Hartford City, Indiana. He survived the crash.
Here's another wrecked Jenny.
This crash happened after a failed stunt.
When things went well with barnstormers, audiences were thrilled by the wing walkers. This image shows Jack Elliot on the wing of a flying airplane.
Wing walkers would climb all over moving aircraft. Here, stunt man Wesley May does a handstand on the top wing of an airplane.
Pilots would also fly very close to the ground to perform other stunts. Here "Fearless Freddie" prepares to grab a hat while hanging upside down from the plane.
Some stunt men and women would even dive off moving planes into water. Here, stunt man Eddie Hergoy successfully completes an airplane dive.
One of the most famous groups of barnstormers was the Hollywood Black Cats. Here 9 members of the group pose next to their stunt plane.
This photo shows members of the Black Cats in mid-air getting ready to perform a stunt.
Some of these acts became household names. This photo shows stunt man Wesley May doing a handstand on an airplane.
As attention increased, so did complaints.
Some complaints came from competing acts. Some were from every day citizens.
Eventually, federal regulators started taking a closer look at what barnstormers were doing.
During the heyday of barnstorming FAA regulations were virtually non-existent. But that was about to change.
By the late 1920s, the FAA started writing regulations that took aim at barnstorming.
Some of these regulations started to establish rules about low-level flight and where it was permitted. This photo shows a barnstorming show with a plane very close to grandstands full of thousands of people.
Other regulations started to establish rules for wing walkers.
Wing walkers themselves admitted that many of their spectators showed up simply to see if someone would die.
Some new regulations targeted the planes.
New rules were established to determine what made a plane fit for flight.
The new rules had several impacts.
Some of the flight restrictions made it more difficult for spectators to watch the show -- because planes could not fly as close to the crowd as they once did.
Other rules made it difficult for barnstormers to keep their planes up to new FAA standards.
As planes aged, they quickly became unfit for flight.
But the demise of barnstorming wasn't due solely to regulations. There was something else that happened in the 1920s that sunk many operations.
The 1929 stock market crash devastated some of the flying circuses and barnstorming acts.
So the '20s truly were the Golden Age of barnstorming. The advent of flight, coupled with economic opportunity fueled its rise.
While a new age of regulations focused on safety, and the country's worst economic collapse started its downward spiral.
Still, the spectacles did not end. Air shows continued into the '40s, '50s, 60's, '70s and onward.
Some of the acts forged new ground, such as this stuntman crashing through a burning wall.
But the prevalence and spontaneity of the 1920s barnstorming acts would never be repeated. We hope you've enjoyed this look back at an exciting and unique period of American history.

Hi all! New to this message board, but I am excited just reading all of your stories and questions!
Background: My son is 5 months old and bottle-fed (about half BM half formula). He is my first, and after some trouble with latching early on, our LC suggested a nipple shield, which eventually worked. Unfortunately, I could never really get him off of it (hot tempered baby who goes from 0-60 in 2 seconds!) Combined with a stent of using an estrogen patch for PPD, my milk has been absolutely TERRIBLE. At 2 1/2 months I went to exclusively pumping and bottle-feeding (he was exclusively at the breast before that time). I really miss the closeness and bonding, but he just was NOT getting enough (thanks to the shield). He is much more content after eating now.
My problem is, I just don't make much milk, still! I have tried all the herbs (Fenugreek, Lactation Blend, tea, and even some Chinese Herbs) and even acupuncture!
I read some of the suggestions on this board, which I will be trying: power pumping, for one. But, I have a few questions: what is nap nursing? Why is co-sleeping so beneficial for nursing? What other suggestions can you provide? I am not sure that I want to go back to nursing (I work full time and do so enjoy the schedule he has adopted) but I am open to it (and part of me really wants that closeness back). Most importantly, I just want to make enough milk that I can stop supplementing with formula and make sure he is 100% BM (by bottle or boob).
If I do decide to get him back to the breast, am I going to be home-bound for the next few months feeding him around the clock??
Suggestions, success stories, and any kind of help welcomed here!
Thanks in advance!

Medicare ruling approved; quick benefit sought
Advocates hope Vermont Medicare patients wont have to wait a year to reap the benefits of a class-action lawsuit that was settled last week.
Vermont Legal Aid and the Center for Medicare Advocacy settled a class-action lawsuit against the federal government over Medicare coverage of maintenance therapy. When U.S. District Judge Christina Reiss approved the settlement Thursday to cover such treatment, the government said it would set out to revise its relevant policies and prepare a three-month educational campaign for the Medicare system.
Full implementation will take a year from today, Michael Benvenuto, director of Vermont Legal Aids Medicare Advocacy Project, said Friday. Because they have agreed this is what Medicare should always have been, were going to be pushing that changes should be taking place faster.
Benvenuto said the case was over Medicare coverage of therapy to maintain a patients condition or to prevent deterioration, rather than just treatments aimed at improvements.
Medicare never wanted to cover people just to maintain their present condition, he said. The impact on your grandmother would be if she needs a skilled nurse to come in every two weeks to maintain her position, that should be covered.
Vermonts position in the national class-action lawsuit was unusual, Benvenuto said, in that the Vermont Medicaid program often covers such treatment. Providers will be able to get reimbursed more by billing Medicare, he said, and the state will save money with those claims no longer going to Medicaid.
Benvenuto also said the decision would apply to preventive services, reducing overall costs from hospitalization and complications.
The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit was a Vermont woman, Glenda Jimmo of Lincoln. Blind and diabetic, Jimmo was denied Medicare coverage for home health care because her condition was deemed unlikely to improve.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # CST2701
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Men's Short-Sleeve Base Layers we have in stock.View similar products
Castelli Flanders Base Layer $0.00
To say that we get excited any time that a new item is added to Castelli's Rosso Corsa line would be an understatement. However, we know that our cycling love runs especially deep when that item is a base layer. In our defense, though, a proper base layer is one of the single most important pieces of winter apparel that you should own. Knowing this, Castelli created the Flanders Base Layer to be its most sophisticated fall/winter base layer to date.
To start, the Flanders base layer features multiple fabrics in multiple locations. In other words, Castelli was dedicated to applying the right tool for the job. At the body, the base layer uses a multi-denier (multi-weight) polyester composition. This material was created with a rib-knit, 3D structure that enhances mechanical moisture wicking, while also creating a stretchable, conforming fit around the torso. However, it's important to note that this design essentially creates channels that keep the fabric largely off of your skin. Ultimately, this reduces, if not eliminates, the threat of abrasion.
At the underarms, a natural evacuation point for excess core heat exhaust, Castelli placed a perforated mesh polyester. And, as you probably guessed, perforation equates to ventilation. As a result, your body temperature remains well-regulated, which prevents the threat of overheating. For the sleeves, Castelli retained the lightweight polyester theme of the base layer, only the fabric used here features a four-way stretch. This way, you're guaranteed an uncompromising freedom of movement.
Further along with the construction, you'll find that Castelli only used four-needle flatlock stitching throughout. This construction method equates to a lower-profile seam and a flat stitch. And, as a result, the base layer lays closer to the body, which makes for increased moisture management and no chafing. Lastly, Castelli sought to ensure that your body obtains total coverage, and to do so, it incorporated a crew neck and an elongated back.
The Castelli Flanders Base Layer is available in the color White and in six sizes from X-Small to XX-Large. Please note that Castelli recommends this base layer for a temperature range of 50-68 degrees Fahrenheit.

March-to-May Favorite
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Extra Large
The short sleeved Castelli Flanders Base Layer has been a key piece for me this spring. It is unobtrusive under close-fitting cycling jackets like the Castelli Alpha, long sleeve jerseys, and short sleeve jerseys alike. It does exactly what it is supposed to, pulling sweat away from the skin. All my long-sleeve base layers have been dormant for since February, while this one has been washed and worn often.
Great Base Layer
- Fit: True to size
I've worn this 3 times as a base layer under a Gabba 2 long sleeve jersey with the lowest temp 37 degrees. It is soft and warm and I've ordered a second one plus the long sleeve version. Fit is good, I'm 6'1", 179 and XXL is a good fit.
Not Durable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
I wish I could give this a good rating. It's comfortable and fits well, but the mesh fabric in the underarm area is so delicate that it snags easily and has already developed a hole after only 3 uses.
Way too delicate for active wear. Time to get out my needle and thread.
I had the same underarm issue with the long sleeve version. The mesh fabric is a great concept, but tends to tear when stretched. At least it's not visible when worn. Given it's made by Castelli, I'm surprised in this design flaw.
Cooler Mornings and Evening
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Used it as a base layer, running.
Shirt performed wonderfully.
Great purchase, great price, great quality.
Great for cooler days
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ride in Southern California where it never gets too cold for serious jackets. This is great for cooler days or cold mornings where the high for the day is only 70. It is good enough to give you than morning chill protection with a vest on the way to the group ride. At the same time, I don't have to remove it later in the ride because of heat issues. I simply take my vest off and I'm good to go.
Been getting a ton of use lately.
The best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This would have to be one the best base layers around, and for a top price. Great in the cold and the heat, perfect when hammering those long climbs


text: Apparently he's not worth playing. I've never got that Jordan hype on this board, he's is a below average center who played some average hoops for a medicore team overseas. He's a project the same way Mozzy boy was a project, but the Gov was our only real center, so he earned some minutes, but JerJor is our 4th center being backup of a guy playing backup for backup, he's just a little closer of getting some playing time than an average ball boy.

The Cubs drafted University of San Diego third baseman Kris Bryant with the No. 2 pick in tonight's First-Year Player Draft.
After the Houston Astros selected Stanford right-hander Mark Appel with the first overall pick, the Cubs bypassed on Oklahoma right-hander Jonathan Gray, who tops out at 100 mph. Bryant, 20, hit .329 with 13 doubles, three triples, 31 home runs, 80 runs scored and 62 RBI in 62 games.
Bryant's 31 home runs led the nation.

An American doctor has reunited a former North Vietnamese solider with his arm bones, which the doctor amputated while serving in the Vietnam War in 1966.
Dr. Sam Axelrad amputated Nguyen Quang Hung's arm after Hung was shot during a firefight. He escaped the fighting and eventually ended up in a U.S. military hospital, where Axelrad was forced to amputate the his right arm to keep a gangrene infection from spreading, according to the Associated Press and Agence France-Presse.
One of Axelrad's fellow soldiers cleaned the bones, put them together with wires and gave them to Axelrad, which the doctor told the AP he kept as a reminder of what he had done.
"He probably thought we were going to put him in some prisoner-of-war camp. Surely he was totally surprised when we just took care of him," Axelrad told the AP.
Fast forward a few decades. Axelrad was going through a bag of war mementoes he had kept in a closet in his Texas home and was surprised to find the bones. He took a trip to Vietnam to try to find Hung, and a local journalist ended up writing about his story and desire to reunite the arm with its owner.
That story helped the two men find each other. The former war enemies reunited at Hung's home and met each other's families, and Axelrad returned the arm to its rightful owner.
Hung told AFP he's thrilled to have the bones back. He plans to be buried with them and use them to try to get war benefits -- because his military files were lost, he hasn't been able to claim a state pension, he told AFP.

The U.S. Government pays cost-of-living allowances (COLAs) to white-collar civilian Federal employees in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Section 5941 of title 5, United States Code, and Executive Order 10000 (as amended) authorize the payment of COLAs in nonforeign areas.
To set the COLA rates, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) surveyed the prices of over 300 items, including goods and services, housing, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses. OPM conducted these surveys in each of the COLA areas and in the Washington, DC, area.
The Nonforeign Area Retirement Equity Assurance Act (the Act) as contained in subtitle B (sections 1911-1919) of title XIX of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84, October 28, 2009) transitions the nonforeign area cost-of-living allowance (COLA) authorized under 5 U.S.C. 5941(a)(1) to locality pay authorized under 5 U.S.C. 5304 in the nonforeign areas as listed in 5 CFR 591.205. The Act also extends locality pay to American Samoa and other nonforeign territories and possessions of the United States where no COLA rate applies. See Compensation Policy Memorandum 2009-27 for more information.
COLA Rates 2016 | COLA Rates 2009-2015
NOTE 1: The EX-IV cap ($160,300 in 2016) on General Schedule locality rates affects certain employees in Alaska in 2016. Because of that cap, for GS-15 employees at steps 9 and 10, the full locality pay percentage of 25.16% is not payable in 2016. In 2016, for those at GS-15, step 9, the actual locality pay percentage is 23.29% instead of 25.16%. For those at GS-15, step 10, the actual locality pay percentage is 20.13%.
NOTE 1: The Full Locality Rates are used to compute the phased-in Payable Locality Rates using a 1/3rd factor in 2010, a 2/3rds factor in 2011, and a 3/3rds factor in 2012. Also, the Full Locality Rates were used in computing retirement-creditable basic pay and retirement contribution deposits for employees who made an election under NAREAA section 1917, except that, for those whose locality pay was limited by a cap, the capped locality pay was used. (See NOTE 2).
NOTE 2: The EX-IV cap ($155,500 in 2011-2013; $157,100 in 2014; and $158,700 in 2015) on General Schedule locality rates affected/affects certain employees in Alaska in 2011-2015. Because of that cap, for GS-15 employees at steps 9 and 10, the full 24.69% as the Payable Locality Rate was/is not payable in 2012-2015. In 2014, for those at GS-15, step 9, the actual locality pay percentage was 23.26% instead of 24.69%. For those at GS-15, step 10, the actual locality pay percentage was 20.10%. In 2015, for those at GS-15, step 9, the actual locality pay percentage is 23.28% instead of 24.69%. For those at GS-15, step 10, the actual locality pay percentage is 20.12%.
The locality rate cap did not affect the locality pay phase-in percentage. That percentage was still based on 2/3rds or 3/3rds of the full locality percentage (in 2010 and 2011, respectively). It just meant that the employee could not receive the full amount of the locality pay. This also affected the computation of the COLA reduction for certain grandfathered employees, as provided in NAREAA section 1915(b)(2)-(3).
The Federal Government pays post differentials to eligible civilian white collar employees in the nonforeign areas shown in the table below. The post differential is based on:
To be eligible for a differential:
In areas where the Office of Personnel Management has authorized both a cost-of-living allowance (COLA) and a post differential, the Government pays the full COLA and a partial differential so as not to exceed 25 percent of the employee's hourly rate of basic pay. COLAs are exempt from Federal income taxes; post differentials are not.

Hey guys, been quite a while. Getting right to it, this story, obviously very legit. I would not start the debate in your head of Bosh over Stoudemire because it is more than likely and after this story that a sign and trade is completed this offseason. It's possible from what I hear about Lee for Amare after the draft. Its even possible for throwing Nash and a knick or two into the pile as well but thats speculation.
ill follow this closely, as im hoping you all will too. good possibility of this going down.

Many of us in the Pacific Northwest have heard the warning before, but it bears repeating: Oregon has a 40 percent chance of a major seismic event within the next 50 years. While it's impossible to know when the next earthquake will occur, we shouldn't make the mistake of assuming we have decades to prepare.
Much of Portland's infrastructure is woefully inadequate to withstand a major seismic event, including many homes in the city. Homes built before 1974—of which there are approximately 100,000— are likely particularly vulnerable to structural failure in the event of an earthquake, because many of them were not bolted to their foundation during construction. On top of that, only 20 percent of Oregon homes have earthquake insurance.
Sounds scary, right? It is, but the good news is that there are steps we can take to be prepared and to better ensure that the City of Roses is truly sustainable beyond a major disaster. One of the steps homeowners can take is to make sure your home is bolted to its foundation so it is much more likely to withstand an earthquake.
As it turns out, my own home that my fiancé and I recently purchased in Multnomah Village is not bolted to the foundation.
This afternoon, however, I spent time with the good folks from Clean Energy Works, home efficiency experts from Olson and Jones, and an earthquake preparedness contractor from Earthquake-Tech, Tim Cook. We surveyed my house to make final preparations to upgrade its energy performance and prepare the house to withstand a major earthquake by bolting it to the foundation. The total cost of the project amounts to about $4,000, which is typical for these retrofits (although some houses require more complex and more expensive treatments).
For most Portland residents, their home is their most valuable asset. By undergoing a total home evaluation with energy and seismic assessments, my home will become both energy efficient and seismically sound. If you are interested in learning more about retrofit options, I encourage you to contact Clean Energy Works of Oregon, who can assess your home, identify quality construction contractors, and help assemble a financial package that takes advantage of various financial efficiency incentives.
Lastly, I'd be remised if I didn't also remind you to keep stock of a home emergency kit and make and review an emergency plan with your family.

Power back on for most after stormThe Associated Press | June 24,2013RUTLAND - An intense thunder storm and high winds have swept through central Vermont, knocking out power to thousands of homes and businesses, mostly in the Rutland area.
The National Weather Service says the fierce storms began around 5:30 p.m. Sunday and quickly caused outages.
Green Mountain Power reported 10,000 customers without power. By this morning, that number was down to about 300.
Company spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said in a statement this morning that the storm brought down many power lines and trees. She said since much of the damage was concentrated in Rutland, crews were able to come together in one area and restore power quickly.
Weather reports indicate the potential for more storms this week.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

A Lake Mills man who says he stayed in prison more than a year longer than he should have is suing state corrections officials.
Robin Gavinski , 51, filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court Wednesday alleging Department of Corrections' officials were negligent in miscalculating his sentence. He was sentenced in three cases, including burglary, possessing a firearm as a felon, fleeing from officers and operating a vehicle without the owner's consent.
Gavinski's lawsuit states the sentence on one count was computed as being consecutive, rather than concurrent, to another. He alleges that kept him in prison 417 days longer than his correct release date. The State Journal reported the lawsuit doesn't specify damages.
Corrections spokeswoman Jackie Guthrie says the state will "let the legal process work."

Rooting around
By this time every winter, the promise of spring becomes almost painfully tantalizing. Though we still gravitate to the soups, stews and casseroles that insulate us from those howling storms, thoughts drift to baby greens and the first tender asparagus of the season. But those are weeks away, and we who like to eat local must try to make do with our dwindling stockpile of root vegetables. One of my favorites, for its incredible versatility and nutty sweetness, is celery root (Apium graveolens rapaceum), also known as celeriac, turnip-rooted celery or knob celery. You've probably come across this rather gnarly creature at farmers' markets and in neglected bins at the grocery store. It's actually a kind of celery grown for its bulbous root rather than for its stems and leaves. A good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, it's only about 5% starch, which is much lighter than potatoes or yams. Stored between 32 and 41 degrees, celery root keeps well for several months and so is a staple of the winter pantry.
One of my favorite ways to eat this celery-flavored root is as soup, first braised in a combination of stock and milk, then pureed for a smooth texture. Because it pairs exceptionally well with dairy, I'll often stir in a handful of sharp cheddar or smoked gouda and garnish a bowl of this with a few toasted walnuts. Celery root is also wonderful with potatoes, both of them sliced paper-thin and layered in a casserole dish with a little butter and cream and a few gratings of fresh nutmeg for a delicious baked gratin. It even roasts up nicely in chunks alongside a whole chicken. Danish chef René Redzepi, known for his sublime renditions of everyday ingredients, pot-roasts whole celery roots with butter and herbs, and then serves them with a creamy sauce of buttermilk and black olives. This sounds like something I'd be happy to eat in any season.
But when I've got a real hankering for something that smacks of spring, or simply want a dish that can lighten up a heavy meal, I like to eat celery root in its crunchy raw state. This is not an original idea, as the French have long enjoyed their céléri rémoulade, with its creamy, Dijon mustard-spiked dressing, particularly good alongside pan-fried crab cakes. I make a different kind of slaw, with tangy apples to complement the celery root and a piquant dressing infused with citrus zest, horseradish and pink peppercorns. If you're feeling creative, you can experiment with adding other kinds of raw root vegetables, including beets, fennel, carrots, parsnips and radishes.
When working with celery root, choose firm, heavy bulbs. Peel off the brown outer skin and always have at the ready a bowl of acidulated water—spiked with a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar—to prevent cut surfaces from darkening (this goes for the apples, as well). The rest is a matter of slicing or grating everything to a slim, uniform size and whisking up the dressing. One refreshing bite and it's spring, no matter what the groundhog says.
Celery Root & Apple Slaw
Serves 4
1 Tablespoon fennel seeds, lightly toasted
1 Tablespoon pink peppercorns
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste
3 Tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon orange zest
3 Tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons honey
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise (or substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt)
3 cups grated or julienned celery root (from 1 large bulb), in acidulated water
3 cups grated or julienned apple, skin on (Fuji or Pink Lady are good), in acidulated water
In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, coarsely grind together fennel seeds, peppercorns and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together horseradish, zests, orange juice, honey and mayonnaise. Stir in ground spices.
Drain celery root and apple, and blot with paper towels. Place in a large bowl and add dressing. Mix well to thoroughly coat. Serve immediately, or chill for an hour.

LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — Forget the cold of winter—because from now until the Ides of March it's all about the heat in high school gyms, as basketball fires up countless zealots of the rock. While it's true that every sport has its own unique allure, none surpasses basketball for its concentrated indoor intensity.
Tournament play and non-league games are first on the docket.
On November 30, the season got underway as the Eldred Lady Yellow Jackets visited the Sullivan West Lady Bulldogs for the opening round of the Chester Hambletonian Classic Tournament. For Sullivan West coach Pat Donovan and Eldred coach Teresa Colvin, who has stepped up from her prior junior varsity mentorship, this was to be a good first barometer of where their teams were, following just a couple of weeks of practice. The Lady Westies looked to build on their 2011-12 season of early learning that netted just three wins against 15 losses. Eldred's mark of 5-13 wasn't much better, but this year both teams return a number of veterans. Sullivan West returns juniors Sydney Sipple, Krysten Herbert, Marianne Durkin, Hayley Puerschner and sophomore Carly Grishaber. Filling out the small seven-member squad are newcomers junior Kelsey Brockner and freshman Elaine Durkin. Eldred, which has dropped down to Class D, returns seniors Kayla Kelly (out for a few weeks following surgery), Erin Angus and Abigail Ellert. This year, the Lady Yellowjackets also feature junior Jessica Schips, who led all scorers with 17 points in Eldred's 48-34 season-opening win over Sullivan West, Also on board are juniors Samantha Banghart, Nicole Elvin, Hannah Bisland, Rebecca Morgan and sophomore Julia Wilk. Stephanie Lee is a senior, who is new to the squad as well.
Eldred used an 8-0 run at the end of the first quarter to take a 16-9 lead after one period. And they'd never trail again. Sydney Sipple led the Lady Bulldogs with 13 points. Wilk added 10 points for Eldred and Angus had nine in the win. Eldred will play Chester at 3 p.m. on December 8 in the title game of the Hambletonian Classic Tourney. Sullivan West will play Fallsburg in the consolation game at 10 a.m. Defending Division V champion Tri-Valley will host Chapel Field on December 6.
This week marks the start of boys hoops action. In preparation for the coming frays, eight schools participated in a Basketball Coaches Association of New York (BCANY) scrimmage staged at Sullivan County Community College on December 1 organized by Monticello boys basketball coach Chris Russo.
