Healthcare Finance News, July 11, 2011
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a report showing that 10 states lack sufficient authority under current law to review and reject excessive health insurance rate increases as required under the Affordable Care Act. Beginning Sept. 1 CMS will begin review of all rate hikes in excess of 10% for these states. The Department of Health and Human Services announced the new regulation—which covers only individual and small group policies—in May and set the threshold for review at 10% and will be in effect for one year. In 2012 states will be expected to set their own rate increase thresholds as they see fit based on market conditions in each state. "Effective rate review works—it does so by protecting consumers from unreasonable rate increases and bringing needed transparency to the marketplace," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in May when the regulation was announced. "During the past year we have worked closely with states to strengthen their ability to review, revise or reject unreasonable rate hikes. This final rule helps build on that partnership to protect consumers."

Big interest could save Millers
Rotherham United's administrator has extended the deadline for eight interested parties to help keep the club alive
By Hayley Paterson
Last Updated: 12/04/08 1:56pm
Rotherham United's administrator has extended the deadline for eight interested parties to help keep the club alive.
The eight wishing to buy the League Two club have each been sent sales packs and given a deadline until 5pm Friday, April 18, to lodge a bid.
It is the second time, in just 19 months, that the Millers have entered administration and all but one of their players have agreed to have wages deferred in April - but striker Chris O'Grady has refused.
Despite the eight-party interest, administrator Jeremy Bleazard is also pleading to fans and the people of Rotherham to help out with matchdays and running costs before a purchase is agreed.
"Matchday and other costs cannot be reduced. I am at a stage where help is required to fund the club's everyday survival until a funder or purchase is found," Bleazard said.
"I am looking for donations, regardless of size, to assist the day-to-day running of the club which can be made directly to the club."
The rent for the club's Millmoor stadium and training ground has been paid in full for April which secures their future for the short-term.
However the club needs big attendances for Mark Robins side's two remaining home fixtures to generate cash flow and avoid administration for a third time in quick succession.
"If fans do not turn up to the remaining fixtures there is no income stream and the club would not be able to trade," Bleazard added.
"I am hopeful the loyal fans of the club, the people of Rotherham and football fans in general will turn up to our remaining two home fixtures to help save the club and to show potential investors the fantastic support this club generates."

IBM's Move To Cash-Balance Pensions Sparks Congressional Scrutiny
September 15, 1999
Employees of International Business Machines (IBM) are sharply divided over whether a new pension plan is a rip-off or a welcome innovation. The controversy has sparked the interest of Congress and the administration. Some critics say it amounts to age discrimination and is a violation of federal law.
Here is how IBM's "Cash Balance" plan differs from traditional pension arrangements:
- Traditionally, retirees get monthly payments based on their years with the company and the highest pay in the five years before retirement -- with the value starting low, but rising sharply toward retirement.
- Under the cash-balance plan, employers generally pay the equivalent of 4 percent to 7 percent of an employee's pay into an account.
- The amount is guaranteed to earn an annual interest credit -- in IBM's case, tied to the 1-year T-bill plus 1 percent.
- The money accumulates steadily over time, and employees can take lump-sum payments if they leave the company.
Some midcareer employees claim they stand to lose up to half of their pensions, while others say they stand to gain.
In August, 40 members of Congress sent letters to the Internal Revenue Service, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Labor urging an investigation into whether pension plan changes such as IBM's violate the law.
A Senate committee hearing on pension plans is scheduled for Sept. 21. On Tuesday, a delegation of lawmakers met with EEOC Chairwoman Ida Castro to discuss whether plan conversions break age-discrimination laws.
In the face of worker discontent at IBM, unions have launched sizable recruitment efforts.

Being Simple...
Posted by Karla Marie David Agarem at 9:53 PM 0 comments
Being simple in life,
...makes things less complicated... what you do or say and even what you wear, makes you feel confident and feel less of comments and objections around many people.
...does't make you out of fashion, simplicity is always IN FASHION!
...is not stressful or demanding. No pressure!
...keeps you feel comfortable and intensely cool otherwise.
...helps things easy to carry and be fixed.
...and always BEAUTIFUL.

Hello Everyone,
It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only three days away! This year, we will be having dinner at our newly wedded niece's new home, and we won't be doing any of the heavy lifting, only cranberry sauce and dinner rolls.
Our local news recently did a feature story on an organization I had not known about, Dogs Deserve Better. To quote from their website: "DOGS DESERVE BETTER is a nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained dog, and bringing our 'best friend' into the home and family." I thought maybe it was just a local San Antonio group, but there are reps all over the country.
The founder, Tamira Ci Thayne, started the organization in 2002, and was convicted on a theft charge in 2007 for rescuing a neighborhood dog from an abusive situation.
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving holiday, and give your dogs a big hug for me.

Thank you both very much for the good wishes!
Let's see.. No buggy outside.. No driving horse.. No Amish clothing..
Got desperate and asked for one of those little faceless Amish dolls.. Nothing yet.. Told my DD if she shows up here with one on Friday night - with a tag that says, "Made in China" - it's going to turn into a voodoo doll of her and I'm going to stick pins in it..
DD & DGD called around 3 p.m. and sang to me on the phone.. Asked me what I wanted besides the Amish doll and I really went overboard.. Told them I wanted college-ruled notebooks and pens - for all of the Amish notes I've been taking..
Probably won't get that either..
Enjoy your special day!
Happy birthday! If I lived there, (wherever it is you live, lol) i would make you a wonderful, Amish dinner and cake.
Happy Birthday, C. Ann!!! May you enjoy many more.
Thanks all!! Actually I ended up getting the best birthday gift of all - my 12 yr. old DGD thought I was waaaaaaay younger than what I really am!
Thankfully our grands always manage to make us feel young at heart ! However, keep in mind youngin', I'll always have you beat by a couple years!

Top 10 Industry Trends of 2017
9: Store within a store
Retailers will continue to find innovative ways of driving traffic and one of those methods is by nesting outside concepts within their walls. Take for example, the Sugarfina kiosk at Nordstrom's in Toronto or the Publix grocery chain test-driving a Starbucks kiosk.
It's a mutually symbiotic relationship in many ways. "On the independent/smaller scale retailer side, finding a synergistic retail partner can be a great traffic driver, open the brand up to a new pool of customers and can help offset the rent line item," says Ani Collum, Partner, Consultant at Retail Concepts, a Boston-based retail consulting firm. "For big-box retail, it's often a more formal leasing arrangement that they work out. Some of the benefits are the same as with small-scale retail but it also allows them to carry a brand without having to incur the inventory carrying cost," Collum points out. "There is a lot of PR buzz that comes with these types of store-within-store dynamics at the big box level, which creates a lot of brand benefits for all involved."
Proactive retailers will work a sub-leasing clause into their master lease, Collum says. How does this play out with the developer side of the equation? "In terms of managing this with their shopping center landlords, if the store-within-store dynamic is more temporary in nature, it can provide a lot of insights to the shopping center in terms of potential performance of a brand they want to engage in a long-term lease so it is a low risk way for them to see if a brand could be a longer term fit for them," Collum says.

Archer-Daniels-Midland Says Net Rose By 41% on Strong Demand for Ethanol
Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., benefiting from an ethanol boom, said fourth-quarter net income climbed 41%.
The farm recession and weak grain exports are still battering the Decatur, Ill., grain-processing giant. The results include a $72 million post-tax charge for permanently closing five soybean-processing plants, among other things, which was partly offset by a $60 million tax credit.

|Big bones and Cell key 1
|He's guarding the cells.
Twig is a troll, that guards the prison in Troll Stronghold and is featured in the Troll Stronghold quest. He holds the Cell key 1, which is needed to open the cell where Godric is held.
Players can pickpocket him for the key if they have level 30 Thieving, if not they must fight him.
He is normally sleeping, but if pickpocketing fails, he wakes up and starts fighting.
It may be a good idea to poison him and hide behind a cell door until he dies.
- Since trolls are named after the first thing they eat, Twig must have eaten a twig as a child.

Capacitive 'button' replacing buttons. Driven in part by the whims of designers, who want more cleanly styled interiors, automakers have been subbing in smooth capacitive 'buttons'—essentially special sensitized areas along the smooth surface of the instrument panel. Yet based on our experience with these types of controls, they're simply too unreliable. They don't work in the cold; they get laggy at times; and they inexplicably work better with some people's fingers than with others. The ones in the Toyota Avalon are the best we've used so far, but why not rotary knobs? Likewise, capacitive sliders aren't doing a great job yet in replacing dials and knobs. In the words of one of our other editors, "What's the point of losing buttons if you lose total control of the vehicle while trying to mute Mariah Carey?"

Last week, I shared with you a more casual look for the 4th of July. Today, I'm pairing this chic clutch from Brahmin with a more sophisticated look, that's perfect for the holiday. I, of course, still want to be comfy but being comfy doesn't mean you can't look pulled together. I love the way this skirt is patriotic without being too obvious and the pop of blue and shimmer of the clutch, complete the look! When I think of summer I think of long beach days and fancy shindigs in the Hamptons or Malibu, both of which I wouldn't mind doing all summer long! Let's make that happen, shall we?

Lossless Kenny G - I'm in the Mood of Love (2015) WV (image + .cue) music download
Artist: Kenny G | Album: I'm in the Mood of Love | Released: 2015 | Genre: Jazz, Instrumental | Country: USA | Duration: 00:51:43
Quality SACD Audio#1: WV 2.0, 24bit/176.4 kHz, bitrate: 4439.00 kbps avg
There are bound to be those who will simply refuse to give Kenny G's 2006 release, I'm in the Mood for Love, half a chance, and it's a crying shame. Returning to a purely instrumental approach following At Last...The Duets Album (which featured a great cameo by Chaka Khan), I'm in the Mood for Love is admittedly a lot like Kenny G's other albums. Like At Last..., this is yet another album's worth of standards, ranging from torch songs to "Yesterday." And like every other album Kenny G has made, it's pop-oriented and ultra-smooth. But the overall feel of this release is a little brassier and a smidgen more big band than usual, and it adds up to some sparkling moments. The title track, "I'm in the Mood for Love," two-steps along with ease, warmth, and genuine emotion, and it's a real treat to hear Walter Afanasieff on piano. "The Way You Look Tonight" is refreshingly genteel, and there's something gratifying in hearing Kenny G belt out "Fly Me to the Moon." Naturally, there are a few underwhelming moments on the album. Kenny G's squealing improvisation on "Love Theme from 'Romeo and Juliet'" is a little over the top, and a few of the arrangements are forgettable, if not a tad silly (the chimes on "If," for example). But when a slinky-sweet number like "It Had to Be You" comes rolling around, you forget all about it.
01. You're Beautiful
02. The Way We Were
03. Yesterday

August 22, 2004: Voter-Registration Fraud in New York and Florida
Voting twice in an election is punishable by up to five years in prison. Some 46,000 New Yorkers are registered to vote in both the city [New York] and Florida, a shocking finding that exposes both states to potential abuses that could alter the outcome of elections, a Daily News investigation shows. Registering in two places is illegal in both states, but the massive snowbird scandal goes undetected because election officials don't check rolls across state lines. The finding is even more stunning given the pivotal role Florida played in the 2000 presidential election, when a margin there of 537 votes tipped a victory to George W. Bush.
Computer records analyzed by The News don't allow for an exact count of how many people vote in both places, because millions of names are regularly purged between elections. But The News found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters have voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. (Source)

Meet Single Women In Flat Rock Indiana 47234
Starting is the primary obstacle for most separated widowers and men. , if you have problem getting started don't anguish there's techniques you can use to conquer this..
Flat Rock IN 47234 Hot Beauties Also Are Hunting For You
Men that are modest and peaceful may make a great sweetheart however they won't get many dates with that kind of demeanor. Females will probably not even see them. For a male to get a females's attention he has to be outgoing, amusing and has to take charge and reveal excellent confidence.
Places To Meet Single Ladies
Elena Moscatt, who I discussed in November as she began recording Web episodes of her serial, Life After Lisa, has been worked with as a casting director to find single women between the ages of 25 and 44 to star in a new truth show based upon the movie The Vacation where two women switch lives. Up until now, she hasn't had much luck. In truth, the producers and Soapnet, the cable television channel that will air the brand-new series, have put a Baltimore episode on hold and moved onto Dallas until Moscatt can discover some prospects here.
So the manufacturers put the Baltimore/DC episode on hold, and proceeded to Dallas, Texas. Is it real that there are more "feasible candidates" in Dallas Texas? It definitely appears that the Texas females want to be "Reality" extremely stars more then the Baltimore and Washington DC ladies.
If you do not have a male buddy that is successful with ladies that you can use as a good example, then observe men at the locations you go to meet single girls that are clearly doing quite well with the women. Pull him off to the side and ask him if he will share his tricks with you on how he effectively fulfills, attracts, and dates females. Then, just replicate exactly what he is doing.
You, too, can have a delighted and harmonious relationship. Take a couple of risks, step out of your comfort zone and check out every opportunity. After all every man should have a serene pleased existence.
Do This To Help You Find Single Women In Flat Rock Indiana 47234
In such a location, your technique to find single girls should be like this: you see a great looking single woman, you ensure she is single and you discover a need to go talk with her.
Another method to meet single ladies is by going to the motion picture theater. Lots of stunning ladies are at the theaters planning to see the next hot film. You can be there with them too and you may even get a date for the night. Merely stroll up to a female and ask what they are visiting. If you can join her so that you both can delight in the night out, you will desire to ask her. She might simply state yes to your demand and in no time at all you will have a movie date.
In Summary
The techniques inside work so well, it's nearly frightening (you got to take a look at the method on page 72 that makes her think that meeting up with you was really her concept!).

I'Ve Got My Life Back, Or Have I? ? - Poem by Owain Glyn
Sat deep in chair, in reverie,
Surrounded by daytime T.V.
At last, I feel that I am free,
From all the Boardroom rivalry.
Free from knives, and cold deceit,
That made my colleague, so replete.
I wiggle toes, in slippered feet,
And feel my life, is now complete.
I'm free to do just as I wish,
Play some golf, or even fish.
Join an 'over fifties' club,
Or spend my time, down at the pub.
Then, my wife walks through the door,
I know I've seen that 'look' before.
She stares at me with growing frown,
I slowly put the 'paper' down.
'Now you're here, there's things to do, '
'I need a lot of help, from you.'
'You need to fix the garden fence, '
'You'll do it now, if you have sense.'
'And, I've got a growing list, '
'Of all the things that you have missed.'
'I'll keep you busy, have no fear, '
'Enjoy retirement, my dear! '
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A/N Lot's of men die within a few years of retirement...I wonder why? ?

The St. Johns River Community College Board of Trustees recently approved an articulation agreement with the University of Central Florida (UCF) that will benefit the medical community and graduates of SJRCC's Health Information Management (HIM) Associate in Science (AS) degree program.
Working together, personnel from SJRCC and the College of Health and Public Affairs at UCF have constructed an agreement that allows for graduates with an AS in Health Information Management to transfer into the Bachelor in Science degree in Health Information Management. If students follow the program of study and meet the admission requirements for the limited access program, it is possible for students to enter the upper division in the College of Health and Public Affairs in the major of HIM. The program at UCF may be taken completely on-line, so students who have graduated from SJRCC and want to stay in the area to work can do so while continuing their education at the bachelor's degree level.
"This is an excellent opportunity for our students and for employers," says Michelle Wilcox, computer and apprenticeship programs at SJRCC. "It allows students to pursue upper level education while continuing to work in our communities. This means that our local employers will be able to retain highly skilled and qualified employees who choose to pursue higher education."The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs recently certified that SJRCC's Health Information Technology Program has received accreditation. In addition to recognizing the quality of the HIM program at SJRCC, this accreditation allows students to sit for national HIM board exams.
The HIM program, which is in its fourth year, prepares individuals for employment in the health care and insurance systems as medical coders, clinical data specialists, data quality managers, compliance officers and information security officers. The medical coder program trains individuals to work in all health care environments such as hospitals, doctors' offices, health care facilities and insurance companies.
"These programs are for individuals who want to work in the health care field but do not want to participate with the hands-on patient care," said Sheila Newberry, director of health information technology. According to the American Health Information Management Association, these professionals are in high demand, and most graduates with an associate's degree earn on average $20,000 to $30,000 a year.
SJRCC's health information management, medical coding, and medical office systems programs are available on the Orange Park Campus, with the general education course work available on all campuses. For information about the program or the articulation agreement with UCF, call (904) 276-6758 or visit the college's Web site at sjrcc.edu.

In true Apple-esque fashion, Microsoft held a big event that was shrouded in secrecy on Tuesday. That event was the launch of Microsoft's new Surface tablet, but was the product launch just an exercise in skulduggery by the company? If so, Microsoft might have pulled the biggest of all tech trolling operations.
This may seem absurd, but this is exactly what the founder of Acer, Stan Sinh, believes. He told Digitimes that Microsoft "has no real intention to sell own-brand tablet PCs. Once the purpose is realized, Microsoft will not offer more models." He thinks that the entire purpose behind Surface is to build support for the Windows 8 operating system in hopes that more tablet manufacturers will adopt it for their products.
Sinh went on to say, "Vendors adopting Windows 8 should interpret Microsoft's intentions positively, as they will benefit from Microsoft's marketing." In essence, he's claiming that while Microsoft will sell some Surface tablets, the device is more of an advertising tool than an actual investment in tablet computing. One of the reasons it wouldn't be advisable for Microsoft to make a heavy investment into that tablet arena is because, according to Sinh, the company enjoys higher profits from licensing software to manufacturers than actually building the device itself.
If this advertising ruse is a reality, it appears Microsoft is instead taking a page out of Google's playbook, not Apple's (despite the Surface's launch event). According to Fox News, Google did nearly the exact same thing with its line of Nexus phones. What Google did was help develop hardware to support the Android operating system and use a seemingly endless advertisement budget to get the word out there about the Android. For Google, it was never about Nexus, it was about Android, and Microsoft very well could be doing the same thing with Surface.
Also, Microsoft's track record of directly competing with Apple doesn't bode well. Does anybody remember the Zune? No. We remember the iPod. Microsoft retired the Zune hardware in October 2011 because it couldn't compete with the iPod/iPhone/iWhatever. The major problem for Surface isn't whether or not it's a well-made, well-functioning tablet (which, based on this video, it still seems a little buggy), it's whether or not Microsoft can convince consumers who are thinking about buying an iPad to take a chance on Surface. The device is only a few days old and an official release date hasn't been announced yet, so Microsoft's true intentions with Surface will remain a mystery. Just like it's impact on other Windows 8 tablets.

I work with the University of the Arts London, mentoring final year students that are planning to set up their own creative businesses after graduation (a surprising number see this as the best route these days). The students I'm working with generally come from a fine art, graphic design or product design background and much of their exploration of 3d technologies has been extracurricular. They're different to MA graduates from somewhere like Bournmouth (the types of student looking for a career in CG animation).
I've been working with *ual:* for a number of years now and I've noticed a real shift in the adoption of Houdini over Maya. I think this bias is a the result of SideFX's historic strategy with Houdini Apprentice, which allows students to explore Houdini in their own time (this is important as 3d creativity isn't necessarily core to their course). The bigger recent impact has come from the availability of Houdini Indie. Students often see SideFX as the cool challenger to the Autodesk corporate behemoth. The fact that Houdini Indie allows them to render with Redshift of Octane is a huge benefit too. Creative exploration at home with GPU rendering is far more productive than a reliance on Mantra. Not dissing Mantra here, it can go toe to toe with Arnold but it's a studio grade production renderer optimised for farm use. The other major shift I've seen with young talent entering the creative industries is that this is a generation that started learning the likes Python, Unity and Arduino at high school. For them the term technical artist is often seen as an oxymoron. They simply see themselves as artists that are just as happy creating algorithmically generated art in Processing as they are utilising VEX in Houdini. They see a programmatic mindset as being an essential part of the mix. Im not saying all young art students match this profile, but the ones that explore 3d and digital interactive technologies most certainly do. You seldom hear the cry 'but I'm an artists, not a programmer' from this generation of young creatives. This is probably a different perspective to what you were directly asking, but I really do believe Houdini is on the cusp of breaking away from the solo mantle of being the goto VFX DCC of choice. Houdini is capable of so much more than VFX, SideFX know this and have been actively developing a set of tools to facilitate the UX journeys of a more generalist user and there's a new generation of creative talent unafraid of Houdini's more technical side. For me, Houdini's future is indeed bright. On 16 February 2017 at 10:30, Laurence Dodd <laure...@porkpie.tv> wrote: > Good, that's sorted then Houdini town here I come!

Agogo future in doubt
By Alex Dunn
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Bristol Rovers striker Junior Agogo admits that his future is still far from finalised.Bristol Rovers striker Junior Agogo admits that his future is still far from finalised.
The former Sheffield Wednesday marksman enjoyed an excellent campaign last term, which prompted talk of several bids for his services.
Mansfield Town are long-term admirers, whilst Southampton were rumoured to have also been monitoring his progress.
Rovers boss Ian Atkins is keen to bring in 23-year-old striker Marc Richards - who recently turned down a deal at Northampton - but is aware of the need to sell before he can buy.
Agogo, in the final year of his contract, insists he is content to stay but is remaining open minded about his future.
"At the moment I just want to play for Bristol Rovers," Agogo told the Western Daily Press. "I'll just knuckle down and take each day as it comes.
"Speculation doesn't worry me at all. But you never know in football.
''One day you are here and the next day somewhere else.
"You just keep working hard and keep your fingers crossed."
Meanwhile, defender Jon Bass has stated his desire to earn a long-term deal at Rovers - having recently signed a six-month contract.
''I want to stay and play for Bristol Rovers, but it's up to me to prove I'm worth a longer deal,'' conceded Bass.
''If I want a longer deal then I have to be in the side and playing regularly.''

The Moray Firth is among the top 20 most beautiful coastal areas in the world, coming just three points behind Hawaii's Na Pali Coast, according to National Geographic magazine.
A worldwide "destinations rating" survey, voted for by experts and readers, placed the coast between Inverness and Peterhead among 99 other iconic coasts, and rated it better than the Skeleton Coast in Namibia and New Zealand's Great Barrier Island.
The outstanding cliff scenery of the "undiscovered gem" and strong community feeling was praised by contributors.

The survey is based on opinions from a panel of 340 experts in sustainable tourism, alongside the views of readers on the locations of the most scenic coastal regions on the planet.
Seasonal and year-round residents appear to live in relative harmony it states, and tourism keeps "pretty coastal villages" economically afloat as Scotland's fishing industry declines.

Northbridge Outdoor Movies - Festive Flicks
Helen Grey-Smith enjoyed a long career in Western Australia as a textile designer, painter and maker of collages. The next WA Focus exhibition, celebrates her mid-century textile work - 100 years on from the birth of this remarkable WA artist.
On display are textiles including full-length curtains, Grey-Smith's design for a Perth scarf detailing iconic landmarks, and fabric samples - as well as later works. Presented alongside a number of design objects from WA artists of the same period, the exhibition provides an insight into domestic interiors of the era and an overview of Helen Grey-Smith's practice.
From her early childhood in Southern India, to undertaking study at the London School of Interior Design, life in Darlington and Pemberton, to her travels through Sri Lanka, Bali, Cambodia and India, Grey-Smith was heavily influenced by the physical world around her.
For more than 40 years, Helen Grey-Smith worked as a visual artist in Western Australia, where she settled with her husband and prominent fellow artist Guy Grey-Smith. She became preoccupied with the distance and scope of the unpeopled Australian landscape, and her subject matter reflects her deep love of WA's landscape and flora, and her fascination with the Asian culture of our region.
The Grey-Smiths supported their artistic endeavours through the sale of their work as domestic and commercial product. During the 1960s, on an annual basis at Newspaper House Gallery, Helen Grey-Smith would present and sell new textile designs for furnishing and dress fabrics, alongside her husband's ceramics.
From this exposure Grey-Smith received a number of high level commissions, the first of which was to create 1000m of fabric for curtains for Council House in 1962. This commission resulted in an interstate request to produce curtains for the new Reserve Bank building in Canberra.
Due to injury incurred through the repetitive nature of this type of work, Grey-Smith retired from screen-printing and textile work and took up watercolour painting and collage production. Indian lagoon 1986 is an example of her watercolour work, on display in WA Focus. Visit artgallery.wa.gov.au for more information.

"40% of the children in foster care will age out of the system having no family or prospects. Many of them will end up on the streets and ultimately in prison.
Parents with a history of foster care are almost twice as likely as parents with no such history to see their own children placed in foster care or become homeless.

It's finally here – the long summer weekend with the grandkids to which you've been counting down the days. You're headed to the amusement park…the one the kids have been dying to hit as soon as they were "old enough."
While you're pacing the house waiting for them to arrive, you start to do the math. Of course, there's the cost of tickets. And, lunch. Maybe an ice cream cone or two. Then there's the $20 it will cost to win Susie that to-die-for stuffed animal. And, you know Billy won't be able to pass by the souvenir shop without resorting to some well-executed pleading for the snazzy theme-park pencil case.
And, who are you to disappoint?
Just like that, a day with the grandkids has become a three-figure drain on your wallet.
It's a veritable fact of nature: Grandparents love to spoil their grandkids. A 2002 study by AARP showed that a full 93 percent of grandparents spend money on their grandkids purely because they enjoy it. But, visits with the grandkids don't have to turn into spending sprees that send them into sensory overload and you wondering where all your cash went.
With some advanced planning, conversations, and a little creativity, you can keep your spending in check while also imparting some financial wisdom to your grandkids. Bonus: They'll be having too much fun to realize they're learning.
Make A Plan
Dayana Yochim, a personal finance expert at The Motley Fool in Alexandria, V.A., has an easy, guilt-free way to spoil the grandkids: Plan on doing it. Make spending on them a line item on your own budget, with specific amounts allocated for visits and activities.
Linda Leitz, a Colorado Springs-based certified financial planner who authored The Ultimate Parenting Map to Money Smart Kids (Bright Leitz Publishing), echoes the feeling of liberation that a budget, or better yet, a spending plan, can provide. If the money's planned for specific expenses, it's less likely you'll act on the impulse to spend frivolously.
Talk About That Plan
Turn that well-crafted budget into a teaching tool. Talk to the kids about how much you have allocated for the day. Then, discuss together how you want to spend it. Use it as a real-time lesson in budgeting. "Giving hands-on practice, managing their own money, is a really good way to teach things," says Yochim.
Exercise Your Powers
Grandparents hold hidden powers when it comes to teaching financial lessons. Whereas parents' attempts to teach money lessons might easily resemble a cacophony of "no's" and nagging, kids have a way of listening – and hearing – grandparents' words of wisdom. "Children might listen to them, more than they might listen to their own parents," says Yochim. "So the lessons of money management might be heard."
Use Cash Or A Pre-Paid Credit Card
To help kids understand just how quickly money can vanish, give it to them as a cash allowance. Let them physically experience how much they receive, how much they give away, and how much they have left at the end of it all. In days where even Barbie has a charge card, the humble dollar bill can go a long way in giving kids a tangible grasp on what money can do. And, this can set them up for a long-term understanding that credit cards do not equal free money.
If you do use plastic (hey, it's waterproof and won't get soggy on the log flume ride) opt for a pre-paid credit card. As it's swiped at the register, point out to your grandkids how you saved for the trip by setting aside a certain amount on the credit card. This way you could really treat them special; but, once the amount on the card is spent, it's gone.
Cash can also turn what may be an impulse purchase into a thoughtful decision. Leaf Van Boven, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, cites research that shows people are more willing to pay for a product when they're paying with credit. "It pushes the cost into the distant, nebulous future so we don't have to ask whether we can afford the purchase 'right now,'" he says of credit.
Be The Grandma And Grandpa 401(k) Plan
When setting up your spending plan with the kids, offer to let them keep whatever they have left at the end of the visit, say experts. "They don't then end up getting the blue feathered hat at the theme park exit, because they don't want to lose the money," says Leitz.
Take it one step further: Offer to match whatever they manage to save. "Do not be above bribery," laughs Yochim. "Money talks."
Get Parental Buy-In
While you may be eager to impart your financial wisdom, be sure to check in with your grandkids' parents first. For plenty of parents, money is the last taboo topic of discussion. Be careful that your actions, however well-intentioned, aren't undermining any lessons being taught at home.
Remember: You Can't Buy Memories
Fran Murphy, a Maryland grandmother of three, has done the three-figure outings such as Ice Capades complete with all the trappings: dinner, souvenirs, costumes. She questions, though, whether an expensive event or big-name theme park visit actually holds more memorable value than a sunny day spent working together in the backyard vegetable garden.
Splurge Smarter
The smartest budget is the one that leaves room for a splurge. When Fran decided to take one of her granddaughters skiing, she admits "there was no budget there," with a laugh.
But, when you go for that big day out, be savvy about it. Keep an eye out for discounts in places such as retailer KB Toys, which in October started targeting grandparents (who make 40 percent of purchases there) with its Grandparents' Rewards Club. Tip: Grandparents and adults 50-plus can save ten percent off their total purchase on Tuesdays. "It's live and learn," says Fran. "Being a grandparent is just like everything else."
How well do you get along with your grandchild and other family members? Want to know if your personalities mesh?Find out here.

With small and wrinkly faces, pugs have big and friendly personalities.
Features and benefits for Schleich Male Pug

Pugs have been bred to be square in body and compact in form. As very social creatures, pugs are attentive and love to follow people around.
Found in fur colors of black, silver, fawn or apricot, these canines are known to shed quite frequently. Pug lovers find playfulness, stubbornness, and intelligence as their pet's true colors. Requiring care to avoid health problems, pugs need someone to clean their wrinkles and to take them for walks.
Pugs love to sniff in the dirt and get exercise, but they have a hard time keeping their bodies cooled off.
