With another week of fantasy football set to begin, our fantasy guru James Morris provides his answers to several questions that have fantasy owners scratching their heads this week.
Question: Last week Reggie Bush didn't do anything for me in my fantasy league (21 yards rushing, 1 catch for 8 yards and a fumble). Is it time to try and sell high on him or was it just an off week?
James Morris: The Dolphins actually have the 6th best remaining games Strength of Schedule for fantasy RBs, which is why I just traded Alfred Morris for him in our Dolphins NFL.com league. Bush fumbled early in the game and Coach Philbin benched him after that. Then, by the time he did get into the game it was so out of control that the run was ineffective.
The lacks of stats were more for punishment and then the need to pass than Bush being ineffective as a runner. I like him down the stretch and would hold onto him unless someone offers you a great deal.
Question: With Danny Amendola back and looking good, is it time to try and buy low on Steven Jackson?
James Morris: No. S-Jax had his best game of the season last week, carrying the ball for 101 yards and a TD. Jackson isn't someone I am high on. If you take out the 101 yards rushing, Jackson is averaging just 50.4 YPG this season. Amendola takes the focus off the run, but he doesn't roll back the clock and make Jackson 5 years younger in the process. I'd sell high on him now and/or leave him to be someone else's headache for the stretch run.
Question: With Michael Vick's concussion, coupled with his inability to win games for the Eagles, do you see him finishing out the season as the starter?
James Morris: No. What I am hearing from within the Eagles organization (yes, I talk to people too) is that Vick's concussion is fairly serious, and they wouldn't be surprised to see Nick Foles start the final 7 games of the season with the Eagles playoff hopes all but gone. And, even if he does come back, at what level is he playing? The last thing I want or need is a QB with cob webs in the grey matter playing pitch-n-catch with the defense during the fantasy playoffs!
Question: Greg Jennings is just a few games away from returning and with Randall Cobb and James Jones doing so well, how do you think his fantasy prospects look for the fantasy playoffs?
James Morris: This is the $60,000 question in fantasy football: Will Greg Jennings come back and be a difference maker for the playoffs? I haven't waivered from my cut/trade rating I gave him when he had surgery on November 1st. Look, Cobb and Jones are playing at a high level and in sync with Aaron Rodgers, the Packers know they don't have to rush Jennings back. There is a chance of aggravating the injury, so I expect them to ease him back into the flow and exercise extreme caution with him. At best you may see him hit full stride around week 15 or 16, which means he MAY help you in one or two games… if you make it that far.
Question- Ben Roethlisberger is hurt, do you know how bad and how long he will be out?
Roethlisberger has a SC (sternoclavicular) sprain in his right shoulder. An SC sprain means he sustained trauma to the joint connecting his clavicle to his sternum and there's ligament damage. The injury usually doesn't require surgery, but it can be extremely painful. Big Ben also sustained a rib injury on the play.
Word is that he is OUT this week against the Ravens and could miss a few more after that. The Steelers haven't officially commented on his timetable, but I know people. If you own any Steelers player at this point I would downgrade them as Byron Leftwich is going to do more harm than good to ALL their fantasy stocks.

I don't recall Suguri winning that many grand prix events, and her 4 continent wins came at a time when the best skaters usually didn't go. Sasha.

(Kirk Meche / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, January 31, 2014 4:05 PM
By Albert Burford / American PressMcNeese State got a taste of the best the Southland Conference has to offer Thursday, and it was a bitter one.
The Cowgirls fell behind early and trailed all night, and Central Arkansas won 65-50.
"We didn't really play defense at all," said Cowgirls guard Allison Baggett. "We dug ourselves a hole that we had a lot of trouble getting out of. It was hard for us to recover."
The game expanded the gap between Central Arkansas (13-6, 7-1 Southland) at the top of the conference and McNeese (11-8, 4-4 Southland), which is in seventh place in the league.
SLC Player of the Week Courtney Duever lived up to her billing, causing problems for McNeese with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
"Duever's really good," said McNeese coach Brooks Donald Williams. "She's tough to guard. She's a mismatch for almost everybody in the league. I think she's hands down the best post kid in the league."
The attention McNeese paid to her also allowed Central Arkansas role players a chance to shine. Sugar Bears guard Maggie Proffitt led all scorers with 17 points.
"We've got to get better on defense," Baggett said. "We can't win games without winning defense, no matter how good our offense looks or if we're hitting shots. Our defense has to be the key to every win."
Cecilia Okoye paced the Cowgirls with 15 points, while Allison Baggett added 14.
McNeese was outrebounded 38-26 and struggled defensively, allowing the Sugar Bears to finish with a 46.9 percent shooting performance from the field, including 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
"It just doesn't feel important to us right now," Donald Williams said. "All the losses come down to the same things — our energy, our effort, our defensive execution. Just coming out and beating people to loose balls, boxing out. We got killed on the boards tonight. It's disappointing for our kids. We know we're better than that."
It was the lone meeting between the teams this season.
"These games where we only see somebody one time are extremely important," Donald Williams said.
Despite the gap between the teams, the game was chippy throughout.
"We did a good job of maintaining our composure no matter what was said on the court," Donald Williams said. "We have to be able to control our emotions whether we're ahead or weather we're losing, and I thought our kids did a good job — for the most part — of controlling our emotions in a big rivalry game."
The Cowgirls get their last Civic Center game of the season at 1 p.m. Saturday, when they host Oral Roberts before playing seven of their final nine games on the road.

Similar to a circle jerk, but with more indecision by Ninny/idiots of no importance with over-inflated egos, who take far too long to agree to on the simplest of things, with an element of trying to play people and fuck them over, especially when dealing with decisive individuals with little tolerance for such shenanigans. Used as a method to frustrate while reinforcing the self-worth of the players.
Talk about Ninny Dickin, it took 100 emails between the group to decide on a time for the meeting, another email round defining AM, PM, and evening, followed by a spread-sheet to be filled-out by the individuals on which days and times are best for them. The agreed apon time is then cancelled at the last minute, and a another meeting is set with short notice when many of the players cannot attend.

text: Question, Few week old Nuc hive in 10 frame deep. Bees are strong Collecting pollen and nectar, queen laying. Notice a few days in a row, Bees hauling out other bees and ejecting them from the hive like a bouncer at a club. Mostly young girls but some older bees as well. The land on the ground and appear to be making a drunken crawl away from the hive. Captured a few and check them under magnification. No mites or wing damage visible. they crawl about four or five feet from the hive and die. Haven't noticed any robbing as I'm told it's a dramatic event that you'll notice easily. I'm thinking it's just weak young bees being thrown out with the older ones being chalked up as old foragers past their prime. My count is about a dozen or dozen in a half a day. Any ideas.

Yeah I won't dispute Nicks vs Bryant. I think Bryant's better, but I'm okay with people having Nicks over him at this point. Either way it goes, the answer to that will probably be clearer after this year.
Austin is not 'by far' worse than Cruz. It's hard to judge where he really is at this point in his career-- he's had a string of bad luck with health issues (his and Romo's in 2010). But they're very similar as far as origin and production goes. His breakout year was pretty comparable to Cruz'. In fact, Cruz only averaged 5 more yards per game after his break out game vs PHI than Austin, and had less TDs.
Cruz is probably a better compliment to Nicks than Austin is to Bryant, but also I think Austin is more of a true number 1 that could fill in if Bryant somehow goes down with injury. And all in all, unbiased fans around the league would probably have Bryant over Nicks and Cruz over Austin, so both you and I are probably not far off-- so... push?
You mentioned we have a bunch of nobodies after Austin and Bryant, but who do the Giants really have? Everyone is dropping Randle's name, but what has he proven so far? Honestly, not much more than Dwayne Harris really. Jernigan has shown even less, and Ramses Barden... to put it lightly, I don't see why the Giants are still using a roster spot on this guy. It's either a bad move or brilliant clairvoyance. Louis Murphy is someone to possibly get excited about, which is ironic seeing how badly he was shut down by Prince last year in your meeting with the Panthers.
But I will concede that Murphy would probably be a good third option and actually has shown something substantial in the league, hence why I have the Giants WRs moderately over the Cowboys.
...Hooray! Football's back!
Is he the best receiving TE in the league? Hardly. But he's still one of the better ones in the league.
Also it's tough to jam a TE for numerous reasons. Witten's bumped at the line often by LBers, but the guy is just a savvy vet and runs very good routes. He's just going to get open.

After the year, it'll be clear that:
Dez > Nicks
Cruz >>>>>>> Austin
Randle > Williams

I disagree about the Cruz/Austin comparison, if Cruz puts up another 1,000 yard + year it won't even be debatable. Austins career yardage and touchdowns are pretty bad considering how long he has been in the league. Randle may be an unknown at the moment, but he has a very high ceiling, and Murphy is at the minimum a threat to take the top off of the defense. As far as Barden is concerned, I agree with you he is a wasted roster spot, and Jernigan isn't great either except that he has shown potential value in the return game.

Both Jersey kids. Both UFAs. Both had their breakout seasons after an injury to a teammate, at age 25. Then both had a down year the following season. They have completely different styles, but it's not hard to see the parallels of Austin and Cruz.
I think if Cruz puts up another 1,000 yard season it won't really settle all that much, to be honest. I think it would have to be that versus how Austin will do this year. If he has the same health concerns and doesn't produce then, yeah, you can place Cruz further ahead of him. But again, Austin has been hamstrung the last 2 years so it's not like "Oh Austin didn't have 3 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, so therefore Cruz is better" if that makes sense.
I think Randle could be pretty good, too. But I'm not going to count on it yet. If I were to do that, I could easily say the same thing about Williams and this would still be a push. At this time, Louis Murphy is the only real edge the Giants have over Dallas if we're talking about WRs-- just my opinion and I'm doing my best to be as objective as possible.

A Tokoroa couple have gone on trial accused of systematically abusing two children for years.
Stanley Williard Hamon, 46, and Elizabeth Tanya Matangi, 33, appeared before Judge Chris McGuire in the Rotorua District Court yesterday facing 13 charges between them, including four counts of assault with a weapon, three counts of assaulting a child, three counts of threatening to kill or threatening grievous bodily harm and four charges of wilful ill-treatment.
At the start of the trial Matangi pleaded guilty to two charges of wilful neglect, with which she is jointly charged with Hamon. She was described as being in an "on again off again" relationship with him. She pleaded not guilty to the remaining charges, while Hamon pleaded not guilty to all charges.
In his opening address, Rotorua Crown prosecutor Chris Macklin told the jury the offending happened between the early 2000s and 2011 and took place in Tokoroa, Rotorua, Auckland, Putaruru and elsewhere in New Zealand.
He said the case "was not a crime drama" like those seen on TV and therefore there would be little medical or DNA evidence. Instead, the issue would be whether the jury believed the two children, a boy and a girl, when they gave evidence.
Mr Macklin said the children had been assaulted with household items, had been beaten with a leather belt and Hamon had once threatened the boy with a rifle. On another occasion Hamon ran a knife over the girl's fingers and threatened to cut her fingers off. The abuse also included the children having their heads flushed down the toilet, and emotional degradation.

Check with Military Gun Supply.
Are there any RPD receivers out there I guess wiselite was out or out of business?? B2b
Check with Military Gun Supply.
Your in my Mind, and in my Sights
Looks like that have a few receivers in stock..but they look to be made by vector Arms/. so are they any good, I guess I'll have to call Pirate and see if he recommends.. Thanks Jimmy t.. B2B
The vector receivers at MGS are verry good, We have built about 12 guns on these so far with no issues. they make for an easy quality build. I haven't seen or built a gun on the dsa ones yet, but we will be getting one shortly to check out the quality. we will be getting semi parts made as well and will be starting to do rpd builds in a few weeks. we built well over 150 of these things and got a little burned out on them!!
DSA's receivers are much cheaper, than the Vector arms ones..wiselite says DSA's are high quality receivers... Don't get burned out yet..Stan.. I still need to get you to build mine.. I'll have to call you and beg... LOL.. B2B
That is good, I suck at begging anywayI'll call ya as soon as you get rolling again.. B2B
I got a Vector, it seems well made and close to specs. I played around with it a little and things like the charging handle assembly, feed tray and top cover went in like they should.
The only down side I see to this one is the receiver either needs to be threaded or the barrel threads turned down. I think WLA's receiver was the only one that was threaded for the barrel?Well I know there's 2 people waiting right now.we built well over 150 of these things and got a little burned out on them!!
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I orederd a DSA rpd receiver today, it will be a couple of weeks before it arrives. My contact there is gone so I spoke to the new guy handling these to see about getting better pricing on quantity purchases. as soon as it arrives I will bild a gun on it and if they are good will use the mfor builds.
Coils, the vector receivers are very good, they are straight, the feed ramp is correct, all the parts fit properly and they make an excellent gun. the only tricky part is turning the bbl to fit right. I will be getting a toolpost grinder to finish the bbls to precise tolerances so they press fit properly.

Is it all over? Take heart from the example of Robert Altman. Deep into his 30s, the future auteur of M*A*S*H, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville, and other essential movie classics was directing 16mm industrial films in his nowheresville home town of Kansas City, Missouri. He'd already tried LA, returning to KC dead broke and a flop.
Give up? Not Bob Altman. He believed too firmly in his innate talent. As we're shown in Robert Altman: The Oral Biography, a marvelous, behind-the-scenes book by BU journalism professor Mitchell Zuckoff, this brash former World War II bomber pilot didn't take no for an answer. Back home in Missouri, Altman learned his craft, helming almost a dozen commissioned shorts with titles like "How To Run a Filling Station." Eventually, Hollywood would find him.
Altman's odd way of making industrials in 1950s Kansas City proved a laboratory for how he'd do things later in TV and Hollywood. He cast friends and outsiders, he shot experimentally with overlapping dialogue, he drank heavily and smoked dope openly, and the shooting day continued with uninhibited parties, most often at his home.
He was Big Daddy, charming and embracing, and his actors, even in the Kansas City days, adored him. But woe to his bevy of wives: Altman was a mean alcoholic, a wild gambler, and a hearty womanizer. Until his old age, there was little remorse for lost fortunes, abandoned spouses, and his half-dozen screwed-up children, none of whom went to college. What was everything to Altman was moviemaking, both the art and the hanging out. His last wife standing, Kathryn, remained with him from 1959 to the end, and with her spirit, fortitude, humor, and astonishing forgiveness, she's kind of the hero of Zuckoff's book. Who else would have baked the pot brownies that she and Bob munched on from a paper bag live at the Oscars?
A thorough, trusty interviewer, Zuckoff marches through Altman's life (1925–2006) via salient quotes from family, ex-family, casts, and crews. With the advantage of Altman's blessing on the project before the filmmaker died, he had an in to practically everyone, from Altman regulars like Michael Murphy and Sally Kellerman to the impossibly hard-to-get Warren Beatty and Leonard Cohen. And to Altman himself: "This [M*A*S*H] is the first time that the word 'fuck' was used in an R-rated film."
Zuckoff confirms Altman's amazingly casual approach to casting, even for multi-million-dollar Hollywood pictures. Someone would walk into a room; Altman would be there in a bathrobe and he'd look at the actor for a moment and then say, "How would you like to be in such-and-such a film?" There'd be no major conversation, certainly no formal audition. Such Altman stalwarts as Keith Carradine and Shelley Duvall were found this way. Duvall wasn't even an actor, just a skinny, interesting-looking chick living in Houston, when Altman offered her the lead for Brewster McCloud.

Click the image for a larger version. This cartoon got me to thinking. Are you ready? And how would you respond to the lady in the Dilbert comic strip when she and her family come knocking?
Attachment 52982
Probably not they way I should.
I will help those who help themselves.
Our Goverment seems to do a good helping the others.
She's gonna have to get past the piranha infested moat, mad cyborg elephants, nuclear land mines, feral saber-toothed cats, rabid squirrels and hungry armed kids, first.
She could work for a few days food to take with her when she leaves later that day.
This is not a distant scenario. It has been happening for a long time. We have only been living on a false economy.
Yep...its not a matter of IF, its a matter of WHEN.
A gradual decline in our standard of living is also possible. The third world countries are going to run out of food, first, and everyone is going to be running to Uncle Sam, who will print more dollars, and give it to them to buy more food.
Peak oil, peak water, peak soveriegn debt, we're hitting the ceiling on a lot of this stuff. But, it's going to be a lot worse for second and third world countries than here. Our biggest threat is the welfare state, and what might happen if their food stamps run out, but even that is relatively easily contained. The longer term threat is unfunded entitlements. And we're back to square one, a gradual decline in our standard of living.
Unless something else happens, like a war between the super powers, there isn't much that's going to change.
One has to look at who the main conspirator behind all of the evil in the world, and the savior of the world, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.
Well Dilbert should probably go ahead and bury her in the back yard
This is one of those litmus test issues. Because there are two kinds of people in this world. Thankfully, my neighbors and colleagues are my type.
For example: Yesterday when I went to get the paper, I saw a dying raccoon in my neighbor's driveway. Sent him a text, and when I didn't hear back after an hour I called animal control. They took care of it. When I've got too many tomatoes coming in, I bring him the extras. When he has too many shrimp on the boil, he brings me the overage.
If there's a sale on guns or ammo nearby he lets me know. He's not home, and a strange car pulls into his drive, I challenge the occupants and ensure they are acquaintances. Etc.
Guy on the other side of my property, same thing. He's helped me so much over the years, coming out in 100-degree heat to rescue me from some foolish thing I've done, and I've pitched in to work with him on various projects when I see he needs a hand.
So in the event of an EOTWAWKI kind of deal, chances are pretty good that we'll be getting together and taking stock of ammo and water and suchlike, enlarging our perimeter and coordinating our defenses. Same with my professional colleagues. Our firm survives only as long as we all commit fully to our survival and best the competition.
By and large, when we see natural disasters occur in our country, looting and lawlessness are still unusual. Our national character appears to be fairly cohesive. Inner-city riff-raff notwithstanding, chances are good you won't have to fend off your fellow citizens with bullets. The other type of person is, well, riff-raff.
The Diesel repair shop that I worked at started getting an influx of generators that would not start/stay running in 2006 (all bought in preparation for Y2K - were not used since then).
One of the customers made a comment to a coworker about whether or not he bought a generator or other such items that were in high demand for the collapse of the computer controlled systems. His response was, "I bought lead and powder. If the extremely unlikely happened and the systems did collapse, and it came down to a point where I needed something like a generator, or any other item I deemed necessary, I would find someone like you and take it."
There is a decline scenario that I've researched that will not be so gradual. Apparently, our banks are being allowed to value their assets (the things that keep them solvent) based what the assets WILL be worth when the recession ends, NOT what they are currently worth (mark to market). This is the same type of accounting that Enron did and you know how well that turned out. It seems stupid, but it was necessary to make these changes back in 2009 (or 08- I can't recall) because without them, the banks wouldn't have passed the government's stress tests. What this has done is to create "zombie banks" (google that and you can read better explanations from smarter people than me). These banks are so-named because they appear to be alive & well, but they are not.
Now, with that in mind, the scenario I picture is that a European country defaults (likely Greece), causing bond rates in the other over-indebted European countries to skyrocket, thus making it impossible for them to borrow money and causing those countries to default as well (i.e. Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Spain) (google "PIIGS".) The banks that purchased those bonds will become insolvent and the Euro will collapse. Many American banks also own Greek and other European bonds, or are otherwise tied to European banks through loans and such, so that causes our Zombie banks to become insolvent (google "economic contagion" for a better explanation).
Now then, this starts a panic over here and the US government has to step in and nationalize the banks, and must spend trillions of dollars to secure the depositors. To give you an idea how much just 1 trillion is, if you were born in 100 BC (100 years before the birth of Jesus) and you spent 1 million dollars every single DAY from then until now, you still would not have spent 1 trillion dollars. (2111 years x 365 days x 1,000,000 = 770 billion) That's how much we're talking about here. Not just 1 trillion either. Many trillion. Anyway, the government doesn't have trillions of dollars to bail out the banks. So, two choices are left: Does the government let the US financial system collapse into a barter-town scenario, or do they print the money out of thin air (google "quantitative easing") in order to bail out the banks? Well printing money is what got Weimar Germany in trouble. That's the 1920's German government that printed gobs of money and caused such massive hyperinflation that it took a wheelbarrow full of money to purchase just one loaf of bread.
So, with no other choice, the government will print the money and everyone will have bank full bank accounts full of near-worthless dollars that they can use to purchase $50 a gallon gas which will double in price the next week.
Anyway, that's the scenario I've come up based on lots and lots of research. The only thing about it that is unknown is the timing. My guess is it could be as early as this fall. We'd have "Arab Spring" and "European Fall" both in the same year. If you want more information about what this will look like, you should google "fer fal". He lives in Argentina and their economy collapsed into a hyperinflationary spiral back in 2001. He lived through it and has a great blog. His entry called "Thoughts on urban survival" is awesome. If you want to see what a collapsed economy looks like here in modern America, google "Detroit". If you want to watch a real documentary on a town whose economy collapsed, rent Iron City Blues on Netflix.
All of this info may be new to you and a bit overwhelming, but just take your time and do some research and you'll see there are ways you can prepare. The good news is that everyone on this board is already ahead of the average Joe out there in that we have protection.
I'm more concerned about a CME - Coronal Mass Ejection of great magnitude. Google Coral Mass Ejection 1859. If that were to happen today, the power grid would be destroyed. Fuel production would stop. We do not have enough transformers to repair the grid, and even if we did, we would run out of fuel to tranport them in about 2 - 3 days. Water supplies / treatment halts, and you start to have a die off in cities in about 7 days. From there it all goes down hill.
The meltdown you can see coming. The CME we have about 1 minute warning and then it's over. Think about that, friends.
Do you have a hand pump well on your property?
Plan ahead, tough times are just around the corner. Unless one is living in a 'vacuum', anyone should be able to figure that out.
I still have neighbors who think that nothing major is going to happen...if it does happen, they'll just come to my house. Wrong answer! I love to help others who are willing to help themselves, but not those too stupid to prepare for the obvious.
We have too many entitlement programs in our country, and the 'work ethic' of our society has been effectively destroyed.
Even a four-year old knows something is not right...
My sister-in-law took her grandson (4 y/o) to a farm to pick vegetables for poor people (for a local soup kitchen).
While at the farm, she told him that they were picking food for the poor people.
During the 'picking process', while out in the hot sun and sweating a bit...the child asked, "Grandma, how come the poor people aren't out here picking their own vegetables?"
Even young kids have good questions...:yup:

Must be tough doing business in the Toronto press corps. The town's favorite team is toast by February every year. You can do "Where Is Gary Roberts Now?" or "At Home With Nazem Kadri" only so many times. Sometimes you have to write about the Blue Jays and their opponents, and, yes, there are a few dreaded weeks where you have to write about their interleague opponents. So we assume such a wretched mission prompted this Canadian journalist to ask Bryce about his beer plan.
Now, this video clip has inspired a lot of debate among the Deadspin staff, so let us tell you a few things:
• Harper's handler appears to suggest the "clown question" phrasing to Bryce. So we know he probably doesn't intuitively talk like Ronnie from Jersey Shore. But he did run with it.
• It might actually be a clown question, bro. Harper's 19 and Mormon and clearly quite invested in his image. Why should the reporter ask him about beer? Then again, I don't know why Harper didn't just respond, "I'm 19 and Mormon so I don't drink," which would have been much more graceful (and, presumably, better for that image of his which concerns him so.)
But these issues should not complicate our enjoyment of one of the greatest no-comments in ages. A clown response, bro? I think not.

The Medicaid program uses the term resources to mean assets. The Medicaid program distinguishes resources and income in determining eligibility and calculating the amount that a Medicaid recipient must contribute to medical expenses. The Indiana Partnership policy asset disregard applies to resources. Whether a resource or income is counted, and how it affects eligibility, depends on many factors. The information below is general in nature. It is intended to give examples of certain types of resources and income. There are many other types of resources and income that might affect Medicaid eligibility. The listing of an item below does not necessarily mean that it will count toward Medicaid eligibility; depending on an individual's circumstances, some resources and income might be exempt or unavailable for Medicaid purposes.
*First day of the month – Medicaid is concerned about the applicant's financial picture as of the first moment of the first day of the month in which the applicant would be receiving benefits. For more information about how the date of application affects the date benefits begin, contact your local office of Family and Children.
**Income earned from resources is counted as income regardless of whether it is paid directly to the recipient or reinvested into the resource.
The information below is an abbreviated overview of individual income taken into account for eligibility under Medicaid. For married couples, both incomes are considered when determining eligibility. When the income is distributed jointly to both spouses, it is assumed that each spouse shares an equal interest. Actual income contributions to the cost of care for the Medicaid eligible spouse, however, depend on the personal income of each spouse.
1. What is Income?
Total monthly income is the gross amount received by the individual or generated by his/her assets. This includes but is not limited to:
Some exceptions and items of note:
• Series E/EE Savings Bonds: Interest is NOT considered income.
• I Bonds: Interest is NOT considered income.
• Zero Coupon Bonds: Upon maturity, Medicaid considers interest as income.
• Capital Gains: Capital gains (e.g., from the sale of mutual fund or real estate) are considered an increase in the value of the resource and are exempt under Medicaid Extended Coverage.*Note, however, that capital gain distributions (e.g., from mutual funds), annotated on Internal Revenue Form 1099-DIV, are considered unearned income.
*Refer to #3, on how payments from annuities and IRAs are treated.
o Health insurance premiums (including premiums for long term care insurance);
o Incapacitated adult/child care costs (actual); and
o Court ordered support (Paid Out).
2. How is income treated in the eligibility determination process?
Income eligibility for Medicaid is determined on a monthly basis. Because of this, Medicaid differentiates between periodic income and non-periodic income. Periodic income is received on a regular schedule, for example, once a month, once a quarter, once a year, etc. Some examples of periodic income are pensions, annuities, and IRA withdrawals. Non-periodic income is income received on an irregular schedule such as an inheritance, or an award.
Non-periodic income is counted in the month in which become available. After that, it is considered a resource. This means that if the individual were to receive monies that would cause his/her income to exceed the cost of his/her care, he/she would be ineligible for Medicaid for that month only, regardless of whether the money is all spent by the end of the month. For example, needed care is $5,000/month and a CD matures, when the CD's interest is combined with regular monthly income, it gives the individual $7,000 that month. In this instance, the individual would be ineligible for Medicaid in that month but eligible in the following month even if he/she merely deposits the extra amount.
Periodic income is applied on a monthly basis regardless of how often it is received during the year. For example, if an annuity paid out once a year, the amount paid would be divided by twelve (12) to establish total monthly income.
3. Annuities and IRAs: How are payments treated?
All monies received on a periodic basis from an annuity or IRA, whether received monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, are considered income regardless of whether such monies represent a payout of interest or principal. However, if the total principal were to be withdrawn in a lump sum, the money would be considered a resource.
4. May I transfer income?
When the transfer or conversion of protected resources results in the transfer or loss of income that was earned by those protected assets, no transfer penalty shall apply. However, income transfer other than through the transfer of income attached to protected resources may result in penalties.

Hey all. Need some thoughts on a situation.
Im into my second year of bee keeping and its been great up here in Edmonton Alberta Canada. Looks like my 5 hives have just made it though the winter this year (knock on wood as there is another month before any blooms happen.
I started with 3 packages last spring, made a nuc during he summer and captured a hive making the 5th. Now that 5th one is interesting. A couple a 1/2 mile away bought our old neighbours yard and was about to reside the garage when he noticed a lot of bees coming out the side. He called us and sure enough they are honey bees. Carnolians no doubt. So I made a bee vac and dad and I proceeded to rip apart the side of the building and we ripped and we ripped till we uncovered a 7' high hive of comb between the studs. Some wax was so old it just crumbled in my hands when I held it. Pretty cool. We captured most of the bees and got the queen in there at some point cause eggs were laid that week. We talked to the old lady who owned the property before and she said she has not had bees there for over 30 years. 30 years!! Wow! They survived there for that long with no outside help. So now I'm wondering if these bees maybe are a little special? Are they? Wishful thinking maybe.
My question is, should I attempt to make some queens out of this genetic pool in hopes to gain some sort of advantage over mites or just gain overall survival strength? My concern is that maybe these bees swarm easily and thats why they are able to overcome the mites. When I treated them last fall with formic acid there were mites on the bottom board although not as much as with the other hives. There is another hive in the same building in the other corner that I am hoping to capture this spring and another in a hollow tree probably of the same genetics.
What are your thoughts?

Account Management brings me to "Site under maintenance"
Whenever I go to account management (when it says it will take me to another site) the new site says the old "Playstation network under maintenance" with the Japanese text. Only thing is its been like this for months (maybe since the the whole hacking ordeal, i dunno), just didn't really care til now. Any input?
Re: Account Management brings me to "Site under maintenance"
Yea, I noticed this as well. Why is it on this main site. Account management still under repairs.
Don't make sense. Unless you are only gonna allow users to change there info on there PS3 to protect them. Which I could see. Still not understanding that concept.

Re: Account Management brings me to "Site under maintenance"
Yeah I had the same problem right after PSN came back online.
Took me awhile to figure this out and after this amount of time I don't think the old website will ever work again.
Here's the cure that Sony forgot to tell us about or if they did it wasn't advertised well.
Works exactly like the old site you are trying to get into, just is remodled and has new features, I promise.

Re: Account Management brings me to "Site under maintenance"
Thank you LucifersRising... Qriocity is the new playstation network.
I had issues inputting my mastercard details into the playstation network to download purchased games. After numerous attempts, my account details page was locked and I wasn't able to access it via Playstation. I tried logging in using my PC and the "site maintenance" came up. It is ridiculously frustrating wasting time trying to figure out how to go about completing a process when the flaws are due to Sony's incompetence and they're not alerting the public to said incompetence. Why isn't there a notice on the "site maintenance" page directing visitors to the Qriocity website? Also, I ended up calling my bank because Qriocity wasn't accepting my two different mastercards I tried entering. My bank informed me that they had approved my cards and the issue was on playstation's side. I had even called playstation's 877-number to ask about it and the man informed me that I had probably entered my address incorrectly, but after talking with my bank, it turns out there's been quite a few cases of the playstation network declining valid mastercards. I just called back the 877 network number and informed them of this and they said they're not yet aware of an issue.
This kind of crap really annoys me. It's simple courtesy to have a notice on the playstation network site about Qriocity and its unbelievable that the helpline for the network has no clue about issues accepting mastercard. Unacceptable.
But thank you again, LucifersRising.
Re: Account Management brings me to "Site under maintenance"
I know this is a year & a half later but I was just thumbing through some old posts...
You probably will never see this but in any event, Carnivalist, you're welcome. Always nice to see that a post was useful to someone.
PS: They've changed the site again (however Qriocity re-directs properly).
It's now:
PPS: In the event you do see this; did you ever get that MasterCard to work?
I had the same problem with my Visa.
The cure was to look at my actual physical bank bill and input it in the *EXACT* format/order as my bank shows it.

What was it like to learn maths at school in the Victorian period?
We visited the British Schools Museum in Hitchin to find out.
Noticing the regular movement of the Sun and the stars has led to a desire to measure time. This article for teachers and learners looks at the history of man's need to measure things.
This article gives a brief history of the development of Geometry.
Published April 2009,February 2011.
1. In the beginning ...
Knowledge about the possible beginnings of human mental development comes from research on the co-evolution of language and the human brain. The central idea that comes out of this research is that mankind, uniquely, is what is called a 'symbolic species'. That is, we have the ability to make ideas 'visible in the mind'. This means we can create, manage, manipulate and blend images in ways
that help us to form new relationships and produce new concepts.
We can only speculate on the earliest stages in the development of mathematics but we do have evidence which shows that we have the power to visualise and represent physical objects in our mind. This power is seen in the representations of counting, bartering and building activities of early civilisations. In particular, our perceptions of symmetry seem to have produced many kinds of geometrical
representations in different cultures.
In these images, a square pattern has been divided into different areas, making rectangles or triangles.
In the above two images, other shapes have been produced, leading to speculations about relationships between numbers and areas, and it is thought that the elementary number theories of the Pythagoreans might have been generated by images like these [see Note 1 below].
Further manipulation, dissection of squares and rearrangement, leads to images of right-angled triangles and the familiar relationship between numbers and areas. For example:
In modern notation, the problem looks very easy: $$h + \frac{h}{4}=15$$
We begin by using $h=4$ which immediately makes the fraction $\frac{h}{4} = 1$
So the left hand side is $5$, but we need $15$.
If by using $4$ we obtain $5$, what do we need to use to get $15$?
Visualising a triangle like this would make the problem much simpler and the ratios could then easily be compared. $$\frac{\mbox{'}h\mbox{'}}{15}=\frac{4}{5}$$
So, for the denominator of the right hand ratio to be $15$, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the ratio $\frac{4}{5}$ by $3$.
"If it is desired to combine two squares of different measures, a [rectangular] part is cut off from the larger [square] with the side of the smaller; the diagonal of the cut-off [rectangular] part is the side of the combined square."
"Alternatively if it is desired to combine two squares of different measures, a rectangle is formed with the side of the smaller [square] [as breadth] and that of the larger [as length]; the diagonal of the rectangle [thus formed] is the side of the combined square."
These instructions clearly show a knowledge of the 'Pythagorean relation'.
The base line for the altar was always East - West and careful and precise interpretation of the instructions enabled the priests to build the falcon 'fire-altar'.
The visual thinking behind the calculation appears to have gone like this:
We have the area of a rectangle, $252$;
We have the sum of its length and width, $ 32$ (the semi-perimeter);
We know from practical experience (see diagram above); that by removing a small (red) square from a larger (blue) square, we can make a rectangle.
So, if we make the side of the large square half of $32$; then the area of the large square will be $256$.
Now take away the rectangle, (area $252$), and we are left with the small (red) square.
Geometrically, this will always work whatever the lengths of the sides concerned. Arithmetically , the problems were arranged so that the numbers used in the calculation always resulted in a perfect (red) square.
Many more examples like this have been discovered, and as well as the underlying geometrical visualisation, there is also the clear emergence of an algorithmic process . The Babylonians had established one of the important essential aspects of problem-solving. They had established a method for solving particular types of
area problems , and it was this method that was taken over by later generations of scholars and eventually developed into the algorithm we use in classrooms today.
Evidence for this kind of activity is deduced from fragments of writings by the early Pythagoreans. Also, the elementary number theory in Euclid Book VII. Katz (1998) has a section on the Pythagoreans (pp. 48-51)
The dating of early Indian mathematics has always been controversial. As with other civilisations it was basically an oral culture, and what was written down appeared long after it was first conceived. Added to this the Indian scholars wrote on palm leaves that rotted away quite quickly in the humid climate. Documents were copied and copied many times, so we never have the original text and it
is virtually impossible to reconstruct the early history of Indian mathematics with any certainty.
Quoted from Kim Plofker's chapter on Indian Mathematics in Katz (2007 p.387).
Both quotations are from the Baudhayana - Sulbasutra (c. 1,000 - 500 BCE) in Kim Plofker's chapter 4 in Katz 2007.
Evidence for this geometrical basis comes from recent research into the language and culture of the period by a group including Jens Hoyrup from Roskilde University in Denmark and Eleanor Robson from Cambridge.
This is my version of the problem using Hoyrup's (1984) Babylonian 'word list'. See also Pedagogical Notes item 5.

Reviews of this property
We simply loved it,
the studio has a beautiful panoramic sea view and the sun shines through the Windows literally all day, of course there is an outside blind for very hot days but we visited in late November and it was the ideal sun trap for us with every thing at hand in the room. Location is great and no 33 bus stops right outside for Malaga city centre and those nights that we just wanted to get back to our front door. Great location and not just another tourist oriented location ( very Spanish ), close to the sea and a beautiful and vibrant promenade, also very near supermarket and shops. It is small but very cozy studio and brilliantly well equipped so, if you are a couple or close friends OR even single, go for it as it is value for money and more. Carolina ( the landlady ) is very helpful and left us to it unless we asked for help, like booking us a taxi to the airport.
We will definitely recommend this place and will visit again,
thanks carolina & Wimdu
Bearing in mind one of the previous comments, I was worrying about our future stay, but my worries proved groundless - everything was ok. The apartment is small, simply furnished, but pleasant and clean enough, it has a small balcony where you can smoke and admire the sea. There is a minimum of crockery and a hotplate, so you can cook when inspired (just not many dishes at once); for us it was enough. The beds are also in a satisfactory condition. Of course, it's not a 5 star hotel, but it's not bad for the money you pay. The sea is pretty close, about 7 minutes walk from the apartment. Carolina met us, gave us the key and we didn't see her till the day of our departure, when we asked her to help us with a phone call and she kindly accepted. Then we returned the key and left. As for Carolina's birds, I didn't hear them at all.
We stayed 10 days at Carolina´s flat which is tiny and pleasant. We hade everything we needed. 5min to the beach and supermarket, many buses go to the city. We hired a car to Gibraltar, Ronda and Granada. One has to book Alhambra tickets earlier, so we were pleased to drive on the amazing motorway and countryview.
Great apartment that is close to supermarket, the beach and the bus to the city. Balcon with view of the season.
Carolina is a very nice lady, the flat is small but very cosy, good located, clean and everything you need is there.
We had a lovely weekend in Malaga and stayed at Carolinas place.
Close to supermarket and bus.
We will be back.
Carolina is very nice person! She gave us all required information and was so helpful - gracias! The apartment is just like in the pic, the beach is very close to the apartment. This part of the city is great for having vacation :) the city centre is close and just across the street there is a supermarket and so many good restaurants with fresh food. The buses arrive just near the house.
Nothing in the Carolina Suite since my last visit has changed. I was recently three years ago. Glasses, cups, etc. everything is the same. The apartment is near the sea and the store. This is good and the price. that's all.
WONDERFUL -- exactly as advertised and pictured. Don't let yhe building's exterior and stairway turn you off. Once inside the apartment, you are in your own little world. Very convenient to amenities as grocery, beach, busline. Carolina always and quickky available and very accommodating. Price couldn't be more reasonable. Has to be one of yhe best views of the Mediterranean in Pedregaleja!

Posted: February 24, 2000 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO - The American Council on Exercise (ACE) announced today the successful evaluation of its certification exams by the American Council on Education's College Credit Recommendation Service. ACE is now the first and only fitness certifying organization to obtain college credit recommendations for its exams.
Approximately 1100 colleges and universities nationwide recognize the American Council on Education's college credit recommendations. Students who successfully pass an ACE-certification exam may be able to earn credits toward graduation.
"ACE has set the standard of excellence for fitness professionals for more than 15 years," says ACE's Certification Director, Tony Ordas. "And the council's College Credit Recommendations are a validation of that standard."
The College Credit Recommendation Service's team of content experts recently reviewed ACE's certification exams, including Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant, and Clinical Exercise Specialist certifications.
To determine if your college or university recognizes the college credit recommendations, visit the American Council on Education's Web site at www.acenet.edu/calec/corporate/partic-univ-U.html. Be sure to contact the appropriate school official since each educational institution makes the final decision in awarding credit.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of physical activity and protecting consumers against unsafe and ineffective fitness products and instruction. As the nation's "workout watchdog," ACE conducts university-based research and testing that targets fitness products and trends. ACE sets standards for fitness professionals and is the world's largest nonprofit fitness certifying organization. For more information on ACE and its programs, call (800) 825-3636 or log onto the ACE Web site at www.acefitness.org.
The American Council on Education's College Credit Recommendation Service (formerly ACE/PONSI) was created to evaluate learning in business and industry settings.

Robert E. Bowen, MD
- The Center for Positive Aging
- 2000 Foundation Way, Ste 2400
- Martinsburg, West Virginia 25401
In the summer of 2004, Dr. Robert Bowen proudly opened The Center for Positive Aging in Martinsburg, West Virginia. At that time, Dr. Bowen was already quite busy with a successful outpatient medical practice, as well as a fulfilling hospital-based practice in intensive care medicine.
Dr. Bowen's long-standing interest in anti-aging medicine, and its related specialty of non-surgical and surgical aesthetic procedures inspired him to formally pursue additional training in aesthetic medicine. He is one of the first Fellowship-trained physicians in Aesthetic Medicine in the United States, and he is a Fellow in the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery, Inc. (ASLMS).
The Center offers a large variety of aesthetic procedures including standards like BOTOX Cosmetic to reduce wrinkles, Laser Hair Removal, Photorejuvenation treatments (also called Photofacial) for removing age spots, sun spots, rosacea and other pigmentation issues, and Dermal Fillers for filling in fine lines and replacing lost facial volume. But we also offer much more, like the Sciton MicroLaserPeel, an Erbium laser that provides a variety of treatments to make you look younger. The Center also offers ProFractional Laser Treatments. These are top-of-the-line laser treatments that can take years off your looks with little downtime. Acne treatments and spider vein treatments are also available. Something new from The Center is SkinTyte, an amazing new treatment for reducing sagging skin without surgery.
The Center can help you get the body of your dreams with surgical and non-surgical methods. Need to lose weight? The Center can help with its physician-directed medical weight loss program, the TrimYou HCG Weight Loss Program. Looking to sculpt your body? Then PureLipo may be for you. PureLipo is a minimally invasive tumescent liposuction procedure performed in-office by Dr. Bowen. It removes fat from hard-to-lose areas like your love handles, tummy, saddle bags, buttock, and under the chin. There is no general anesthesia, so much less risk than traditional liposuction, less downtime, and a considerably lower cost. Is PureLipo right for you? To find out, schedule a consultation to learn more.
We're now also offering Autologous Fat Transfer, in which your own natural fat is harvested from an area where you have unwanted fat and transferred to fill in areas in the face that have lost volume, restoring a more youthful appearance using your own, natural cells.
For a doctor you can trust, a staff that really cares, and procedures that really work, The Center for Positive Aging is your place in the tri-state region around Martinsburg, WV.

Article Topic: Herb gardeningOrder by: date | title | author
Date: 2011-06-24 By: JD Hortwort
Many of us, especially city-dwellers, don't have access to large plots of land for gardening. But that shouldn't stop us! Most herbs are tolerant of harsh growing conditions—even those found in our urban centers, which are man-made heat wells. With a little direction and some perseverance, urban gardeners can grow plenty of herbs for the kitchen, bath, or cupboard.
Date: 2009-09-14 By: Ellen Evert Hopman
Most every kitchen is stocked full of herbs and spices. We use them to flavor our food and preserve it. But did you know that these simplest of herbs and spices can also be used to heal us? Ellen Evert Hopman, Druid Priestess and author of Priestess of the Forest, details 10 everyday foods and spices that can easily be used to heal.
