As as heads up, the official Pokémon site has updated with a new picture of Yveltal (and possibly Xerneas, though I'm not as sure) that could make great avatars.
I'd also personally be interested in having a screenshot from the Pokémon battles (starters, Mienfoo, etc) as my avatar.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed GI Joe the movie. After suffering through the likes of Star Trek, Transformers 2, Wolverine and the remainder of the summer's watered down, retro-exploitation drivel I didn't think another dumb 80's toy movie would make much difference. GI Joe bucked the 80's remake trend by being nothing but a dumb toy movie and reveled in it, forgoing any pretense and concentrating on being a pure, unabashedly campy action flick. The writers understood that their source material didn't have any real gravity to it so they focused on what it was about—backyard action figure antics that made you feel like a kid again. Video games have been trying to capture that feeling for decades, but does GI Joe fare as well on the DS? After playing through GI Joe on DS, I've found that the game also tries to recreate some 80's nostalgia, but the comparisons only hurt the game and the execution has some serious issues.
The game picks up roughly where the film ends, but making sense of the story is a chore. The plot is presented entirely by text boxes displayed next to poorly digitized, incredibly low-resolution stills of the film's actors. I understand that they are trying to make connections to the movie and emphasize the celebrity-acted characters, but these dialogue boxes pop up right in the middle of the action and bring the pace to a screeching halt. When I'm blasting away at Cobra goons it doesn't matter how much I like Dennis Quaid as an actor, I don't want his scowling, pixilated face popping up and annoying me.
Speaking of action, this is where that nostalgia I mentioned comes in. In a word, imagine Gauntlet. Really, imagine the old top-down, arcade Gauntlet but played solo and in the universe of GI Joe. Now imagine your controls are rather awkward and the levels possess a number of irritating bugs and glitches. This is essentially how GI Joe is set up on the DS. You control one of six Joes—Duke, Ripcord, Scarlett, Heavy Duty, Shipwreck and my personal favorite Snake Eyes—and blast your way Ikari Warriors-style through a series of highly linear levels. I enjoyed the character diversity because they really do play differently; Ripcord and Heavy Duty take a shock and awe approach that uses liberal amounts of lead, while Snake Eyes and Scarlett require more accuracy but have more precise, lethal weapons.
Each character also has a special ability that is charged by collecting badges from slain enemies (don't ask me why), ranging from momentary invulnerability to a berserk guns-blazing phalanx. Charging this emergency power is no problem considering every level is packed to the rivets with Cobra thugs. You'll easily waste 500 or more mooks in a single level, and with enemy spawners the stream of baddies doesn't stop until you want it to. Occasionally you'll hop into a tank or fight a boss, but the majority of the incredibly brief adventure is spent gunning down waves of Cobra and blowing up spawners. All told this wouldn't have made for a bad game, after all it's the same formula that made Gauntlet successful, but GI Joe suffers from a serious case of licensed game syndrome that spoils an otherwise entertaining game.
Technical issues plague the game. The levels and many of the elements are rendered in 3D and displayed completely top-down, but enemies, projectiles and the Joes are all sprites. Needless to say this produces some depth perception problems, and also leads to numerous clipping snags on the environment, enemies and structures. On more than one occasion I had to restart a level after getting stuck on part of the scenery, and enemies often get trapped in places where you can't see or hit them easily. It doesn't help that all aiming is handled with D-pad movement, without any assist from a lock-on. Most of the time you'll be spraying lead in the general direction of an enemy, swiveling awkwardly left and right—it's a good the levels are so saturated with enemies and that you have an infinite number of clips because surgical accuracy is impossible to pull off. This mechanic also makes it difficult to aim and shoot while moving, and standing still to aim is a bad idea with so many goons and bullets zeroing in on you.
These issues are unfortunate because most of them could be cleaned up with a month or two of solid playtesting and a few control tweaks. I feel sorry for the team that developed this game because they had something promising but obviously very little time to flesh out the gameplay. The core idea is good and the gameplay works well to an extent, but the clunky, Gameboy Advance-era graphics, mediocre music and host of technical bugs drag the whole thing down. Coupled with the very brief length of the game, these problems make GI Joe Rise of Cobra the very definition of a movie cash-in: rushed, short, and saddled with needless, pace-breaking plot references.

From her time interviewing stars of the baseball and the entertainment world to her opportunity to shadow Commissioner Bud Selig for several hours, All-Star Week was a celebration Meggie Zahneis will never forget.
The Cardinals were represented by a perfect dozen on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. They posed for pregame photos, gathered for postgame handshakes and embraced the opportunity to soak in what this time they all knew would be their final night together.
As National League manager Tony La Russa went to reliever after reliever in the waning innings of Tuesday night's 8-0 victory over the American League in MLB's 83rd All-Star Game, Padres closer Huston Street remained planted on the bench in the Kauffman Stadium bullpen.
Shortstop Starlin Castro and first baseman/outfielder Bryan LaHair were part of a National League All-Star team that set a record for the NL's largest margin of victory in the 83-game history of the Midsummer Classic. The NL beat the American League, 8-0, at Kauffman Stadium.
Returning to the home of the Royals, who sent him to the Giants over the winter in exchange for southpaw Jonathan Sanchez, Melky Cabrera claimed the Most Valuable Player distinction in the 2012 All-Star Game for his role in Tuesday's 8-0 clubbing of the American League at Kauffman Stadium.
The National League, by virtue of this All-Star victory, will have the home-field advantage in the World Series for the third straight year. Maybe it means nothing, but it could also mean dancing in the streets this autumn in another National League City.
There was a bloop double here, an infield single there in the top of the first inning. American League starter Justin Verlander's fastball touched 101 mph, but the strike zone eluded him. Suddenly, the National League led, 5-0, before the AL had come to bat in the 83rd All-Star Game on Tuesday.
Rays left-hander David Price blitzed through a 1-2-3 third inning and closer Fernando Rodney tossed a clean ninth against a dangerous slate of National League hitters in Tuesday's All-Star Game.
None of the Rangers All-Stars really distinguished themselves Tuesday in the American League's third straight loss to the National League.
Pablo Sandoval highlighted a historic five-run first inning with a bases-loaded triple, and Melky Cabrera, the game's Most Valuable Player, went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in the fourth inning to spark the National League's third consecutive victory, an 8-0 shellacking of the American League.

An Opening Ceremony
Saturday night we celebrated the opening of our two new retail spaces, Opening Ceremony and No. 8a, for Fashion Week at Ace Hotel New York. We like having parties as much as we like making hotels, so we had fun with some of the elements for OC's party. Our design partners, OMFGCo, stamped and grommetted leather press and VIP badges, and silkscreened OC x Levi's gift bags. OMFGCo shared some pictures of their die-cutting and letterpress process on their blog. The bags contained, among other gifts, the last remaining pairs of of the Conversex Ace NYC collaboration hightops, a reissue of a discontinued, vintage colorway. (You can look for a new collaborations between Ace and Converse soon.)

We also invited a couple of our friends to play the lobby. DJ Nasir from Neverstop, who we've known since Ace was just a little 28-room guest housein Seattle, played dance music in the evening, and Stumptown brought Beyondadoubt, one of Portland's favorite DJs, to play a late night set of 60's soul 45s.
After a celebration dinner of fried chicken, suckling pig, mashed potatoes and biscuits at the Breslin, OC friends and family watched DJ Solange Knowles take the stage with Dirty Projectors at Liberty Hall.
Upstairs, party-goers perused Phillip Lim eye masks and No. 8a's anti-souvenirs and Jason Schwarzman got a closer look at the goods.

Johnne, Master Wheat Paste Owl: Sleeps By Day, Works By Night
Johnne Eschleman is the resident artist at Ace Hotel New York. He also made the walls and signs special at Ace Hotel Portland. Johnne tears up old dictionaries and uses heavy equipment under the influence. He has a good eye for straight lines and lyrics unfurling backwards. He keeps hours we could call odd, but they are our hours, too.
If you're ever standing around in New York or Portland, look at the walls, and look for Johnne. He might be around.

House Warming From No. 8a
The team behind No. 8a graced us with two amazing gifts to kick off the opening of their new shop here at Ace Hotel New York this Sunday. The gifts are a sign of new collaborations to come that are beautifully crafted and packaged. Showcased here a handmade Pyrex glass necklace by Jane D'Arensbourg and "delicious treats for hoarding and/or sharing" by Papabubble.
Other Music Curates For Ace Hotel New York
The people at Other Music are curating a collection of CDs and LPs for Ace Hotel New York. You can see them by the front desk, where they're on sale along with old, cinematic, racy flipbooks and sharp, black pencils.
The artists featured in this inaugural set include Four Tet, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Spoon, and an assortment of Brazilian guitarists. Here are Other Music's notes about some of them:
OPENING CEREMONY at Ace Hotel New York
Opening Ceremony, the high-fashion version of a cultural-exchange program, unveils its new outpost at Ace Hotel New York on Valentine's Day. They'll be joined by Project No.8's anti-souvenir shop, No. 8a. The people behind these shops are curators, rather than owners. They'll be bringing their pitch-perfect favorites to the Ace, suiting the stores to everything you'll need or don't know you'll need during your travels. In addition to highlighting their unique and democratic roll call of established and emerging designers, OC at Ace promises Tumi Luggage, Haribo gummie snacks (if you eat through the ones in the snack bar in your room), Maison Martin Margiela white ostrich and goose feather pens, and custom OC dental packs. No. 8a has I <3 NYC snowglobes filled with tiny trashbags, minamalist white sex toys, and double-ended lollipops covered.

LOVE IS ALL: Valentine's Day in New York City
We're giving away one night in a Loft Suite at Ace New York on Valentine's Day. Register here, and enter by February 10th (that's Wednesday).
Even if you don't win, we have other special, somewhat scandalous packages for you and your very important person:
It snowed.
New York City is covered in snow. This picture is from the window of room 918. It's pretty epic.
If you're stuck here, you can stay with us for not very much, and we'll buy you a Stumptown hot chocolate while you're here. If you're not stuck here, you're kind of missing out because it looks really beautiful in the streets, and the hot chocolate is ridiculously good.

Solid Advice
From Lucien, 6, in the mezzanine drawers at Ace Hotel Portland.
We worked with Commune Design to make Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. They made The Commune, designed guest rooms and communal spaces, and worked with other collaborators to make Ace Palm Springs the magical place that it is. Commune just opened a Community Shop at our hotel, with things that are handmade by real people, including cups and bowls by Heath Ceramics, who made Do Not Disturb signs for the doors. You can see pictures from the store at PSFK, and read about it in the LA Times.
Visit Community Store during Palm Springs Modernism Week 2010. We're hosting many of the week's events including lectures, architecture tours, films, martini parties, and a show of vintage Airstream trailers. We have two room packages for the week, The Frey and The Modern. See more about it here.
Ace Hotel & Swim Club is built in a mid-century Howard Johnson motel. We're excited about the local enthusiasm for Desert Modernism, so we kept the original things people loved about the hotel intact and mixed in some newer things that inspire us.
Night Audit : Donovan at Ace Hotel Portland
Donovan is at the front desk at Ace Hotel Portland. He chose an LP from the lobby that describes him. And what is it?
Come by and dance with him sometime.
Donovan was also featured on a local Portland fashion blog called Urban Weeds.

2009 was full of good things. In the Spring, Ace Hotel & Swim Club hotel came to Palm Springs. Ace Hotel New York, Stumptown, and The Breslin opened in the summer. We've been getting a lot of flattering winks and catcalls from the press. Here's a selected list of honors from 2009:
+ New York Times T Magazine : The Decade in Hotels Although not the first Ace, the burgeoning brand's second property was the first full expression of an aesthetic and philosophy — eclectic Americana, accessible prices, the cult of local, handmade, vintage, curated — that continues its reign in the worlds of design, fashion and culture. Ace Hotel Portland.
+ Wallpaper Magazine : Best New Hotel in the World, Nominee Laid-back and filled with vintage finds, the Ace is effortlessly cool…With the hotel's walls lined with works by local artists, and a fully stocked Smeg fridge in each room, this is NYC at its best. Ace Hotel New York.
+ Interior Design Magazine : Designer of the Year With its coffered ceiling, Greek key mosaic-tiled floor, schoolhouse pendant globes, and vintage commercial signage, the dimly lit lobby is grand and mysterious yet relaxed and idiosyncratic. Roman and Williams are celebrated for their work with Ace Hotel New York.
+ Conde Nast Traveler : 2009 Hot List A definitive guide to the world's most exciting new establishments destined to become instant classics. Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs.
+ Details Magazine : The 10 Best Hotel Bars in the World At this quirky, black-walled grotto heavy on the vinyl and chunky wood furnishings, Monday nights feature Linda, the hostess at the restaurant next door, calling bingo and belting out show tunes. The Amigo Room at Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs.
+ Time Out New York : Best New Hotel Lobby Bars When the Ace Hotel opened a New York outpost last spring, it brought with it the city's first Stumptown café, guaranteeing early-morning crowds in need of artisan coffee. But the massive space, its soaring ceiling punctuated by trunk-thick columns, has ended up having more than just a.m. appeal; it's become a popular spot for all types, at all hours. The lobby bar at Ace Hotel New York.
+ Cool Hunting : Top Five Collaborations of 2009 When designers and artists team up to multiply their talents, the end result is sometimes greater than the sum of its creative parts. Ace Hotel New York collaborates with L. Gambert, Converse, Coto, Surface to Air, and others to create staff uniforms.
+ Biz Bash New York : Four Stylish New Hotels The first New York outpost of a Portland, Oregon-based property, opened in May and sports an eclectic look with vintage furnishings and custom artwork. Ace Hotel New York.
+ Live The Desert Life : 15 Best New Restaurants in the Valley Locally grown and organic food, inspired but never pretentious, in an atmosphere of buzzing excitement, like the most amazing backyard barbecue you've ever been to. King's Highway at Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs.
Modernism Week in Palm Springs
2010 Palm Springs Modernism Week : 12 - 21 February 2010.
In February, a flock of vintage Airstream trailers will park on the grounds of Ace Hotel & Swim Club. We're sponsoring the 2010 Palm Springs Modernism Week, and Ace will host some of the events, including a movie night, After Glow party, and a symposium on Reassessing the Organic Tradition in American Architecture.
The week will take locals and visitors through the Albert Frey II house, to a retro martini party at Lautner's Elrod House, a Julias Shulman film screening at the Frank Sinatra Twin Palms estate, a fashion show, and the 10th Annual Modernism Show + Sale. Buy tickets or a MW Passport, but soon.
It makes sense for Ace to be involved because it's built from a 1965 Howard Johnson. King's Highway used to be a Denny's. Now it's a mix of midcentury architecture and newer elements that keep things interesting. Ace is all about a sense of place, and we are intrigued by Palm Springs Desert Modernism and how excited people are about it all over the world.
There are two room packages for Modernism Week guests, The Frey and The Modern Vacation.
The Frey: Special package for Modernism Week attendees February 12 - 21.
Reserve a room with the Frey Package and receive 20% off restaurant and bar, 20% off spa services, a pass to the Palm Springs Art Museum to see their new exhibition and attend a lecture by Bill Butler on Albert Frey (Tuesday), Charles Phoenix in The Commune (Friday), and a complimentary tour of vintage Airstream trailers hosted on the Ace Hotel grounds (Saturday). 2 night minimum – $199 per night.
Use this code when booking this package: MODWEEK2.
The Modern Vacation: Special package for Modernism Week attendees February 12 - 21.
Book four or more consecutive nights in any room type, and we'll give you a 5th night on us. Full rates apply.
Use this code when booking this package: MODWEEK3.

California-based moms Kathlene Linehan and Corrie Sullivan began reworking recycled vintage pieces into kids clothing in 2010; this fall marks the launch of their first original collection of vintage-inspired threads. The mix of dresses, coats, and leggings looks like it's been stashed in your mother's basement for the past 50 years — but upon further inspection, the pieces are just as hearty as clothes made today.

Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Read the following scenario regarding a counseling client and then answer the questions following it:
You have been working with a young client who we will refer to as Dan for 3 months. He was initially wary, reticent and cautious. It has taken patience and careful iuse of your trust and relationship -building skills to break through some of his resistance. He is beginning to talk and share something of his real life with you in your counseling sessions. Yet each time you begin to make some progress, he begins to draw back into his shell with a defensive remark such as: "You shrink types are all the same. You get your kicks out of prying into other people's lives." You, the counselor, repeatedly assure him, reminding him of the sanctity and privacy of your office and the confidentiality of your relationship. He has tested your integrity a number of times and has attempted to probe your attitudes and values. You have responded by using active listening to keep the focus on him. You have invested a considerable amount of counseling time reaffirming your trustworthiness.
Finally your persistence and patience pay off. After much hesitation Dan slowly discloses some of his secrets, meanwhile closely monitoring your reactions to him. He seems satisfied as to your neutrality and acceptance of him and so continues to describe his problems. It seems that this 16 year old boy has quite a successful career selling various drugs - speed, downers, marijuana, and sometimes cocaine and crack - to other students in the junior and senior high school. He shares that he has no intention of quitting. He explains that finally by engaging in this activity he has the power, respect, and friends that he has yearned for. He also likes the excitement and risks, and enjoys having his "clients" dependent on him. He also needs the money for his family and likes what it can buy for him to impress people as well. He does, however, feel a little guilty, and he wants you to help him soothe his conscience as he knows his family would not approve. He has also been experiencing some overwhelming feelings of panic when he has trouble functioning. He has no idea what is causing these "attacks". He reminds you that, if you can't help him, he can always find someone who will. He notices your hesitency and so, laughingly, throws your own words back in your face: "Remember, everything you say in here is privileged communication, and nothing disclosed will ever leave this room." You feel you have but a moment to respond and decide on a course of action.
Questions To Be Addressed In Paper, 500 word minimum, written in A.P.A. style.
1. Symptoms of the client, Dan.
2. Diagnosis
3. Ethical Considerations
4. Course of Action You Would Take Regarding the Scenario.
5. Treatment you would use to address Dan's symptoms.

Classroom Rules of Conduct:
Online Etiquette/Courtesy:
Online communications need to be composed with fairness, honesty and
tact. Spelling and grammar are very important in an online
course. What you put into an online course reflects on your level
of professionalism. It is important not to take disagreement
personally. Responses to different ideas and observations need to
be objective. Being objective means maintaining boundaries and
not making personal attacks on the ability of others or making
statements that have the potential to be taken personally. An
important part of online learning is discussion. Differences in
thinking are good because our knowledge is broadened. Because we
have differences, we will have conflict. The important thing is
to handle conflict in a way that does not create defensiveness which
blocks learning. Here are online references that discuss online
writing http://goto.intwg.com and netiquette http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html

Final Exam— The final exam is multiple choice and is a Proctored exam. It MUST be taken by 5:00 p.m. FRIDAY of week 8

AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone (2012)
I co-ran an AMV 101 panel at Otakon last year, was curious if anyone would be interested in an AMV 101 panel at Animazement this upcoming year. Would cover how to get started, what to avoid, and some basics with software.
Last edited by l33tmeatwad on Mon May 28, 2012 6:36 pm, edited 4 times in total.
Re: AMV 101 - Anyone Interested?
I have been wanting to give it a whirl, but never had any solid instruction. If you covered some of the finer points (cutaways, audio and video management, and timing) I'd be glad to attend. My last experience with video editing was in college, and something it ended . . . somewhat poorly.
AZ 2014: Gambit (X-treme X-men), Kirito (Sword Art Online), other costumes TBD
Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone
Decided to submit the panel, pending approval, it will be a 2 hour block of tips on how to get started, some AMVs will be shown, and there will be time for Q&A so that you have a chance to get those questions you've always wanted to ask about AMV editing answered.
Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone
I'm not sure if I'd be any help with explaining how I do stuff but if you like I can bring an AMV I made that won Editor's Pick two years ago for showing?

Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone
I appreciate the offer, but I already have a full panel planed based off of the AMV 101 panel I did at Otakon last year. It would also be a little hard to work that out since I have to give the convention the names everyone who is going to present something and be a panelist in the panel and I don't know who you are ;;;
Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone
I'd definitely go!
Yes, your Highness
Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone
I have wanted to learn how to make AMVs for some time now and have had absolutely no idea how to get started. I will definitely be at this panel
Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone
I'd definitely go to this
2012 AZ: cd cover Austria
2013 AZ: Prince Soma (Kuroshitsuji) 100%
Possibly bringing Austria back ^^

Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone (Approved)
Well, looks like it got approved, hope to see you guys there, current info:
Day: Saturday
Time: 7:30 - 9:30 PM
Panel Room: 302C
(As with any convention panel, this is subject to change.)
Re: AMV 101 - A Stepping Stone (Approved)
Thanks to everyone at Animazement who came out to AMV 101, we hope you learned a lot! Feel free to contact us for further information and advice on AMV editing.
Our website is www.pixelblended.com and we have walkthroughs and tutorials for the subjects we covered in the panel (and more coming soon). Feel free to contact us if you wish to ask any more questions about making AMVs.

Well, I noticed there was no discussion topic for this series on the June forums (except one about censorship, which I have zero interest in having come up in this thread, please), so I thought I'd create one.
I would, however, before we kick off the discussion, be curious to know whether DMP has already licensed volume 3 and/or working on one for volume 4 (which was just released in tankoban in Japan last week) and when we might expect volumes 3 and 4 to be released. Over the next two years? Three? A timeframe, however rough or far away, would be appreciated, thanks.
Anyway, like the Yellow discussion I created earlier, let's do some meme-like questions:
Who's your favorite character?
Who's your favorite character other than Lahti or Kai?
Do you like or dislike Maria? As a character? As a person?
What do you think of Lahti's attitude towards Kai? Towards Maria?
What do you think of Kai's attitude towards Lahti? Towards Maria?
Have you followed the events beyond volume 2 already (ie, read volumes 3 and 4)?
Any other thoughts about the series?
My answers (CONTAIN SERIES SPOILERS!):
I like Kai the most. I don't mean to prefer the uke, but I often do for some reason, paticularly with Tateno couples. If I had to pick someone else, it would have to be Shiki. There is something so mysterious about him. Tateno never goes into his background, but I can't help but wonder where he came from or what he's really thinking behind that disarming smile. I like Maria. As a character, not really as a person. She's very scary, borderline psychotic, really. Like Mizuki in Yellow without the whole sex-change thing. I like to see the mindgames she plays with Lahti and Kai. Particularly with Kai. For some reason I like to see Kai being confused/upset/overwhelmed and then pulling himself through and doing something amazing. I think Lahti really cares about Kai, but can't show it because of his position. He can't show any sign of weakness or give his enemies any reason to target Kai to get to him. Towards his sister, as Kai believes, I don't think he wants to kill her. I think he is forced into a position where he has to oppose her as the enemy of Sarte, and treats her as a rival for Kai's affections more and more as the series goes on. Despite how Kai behaves towards Lahti early on, it's very clear he is entirely devoted to him, but at the same time there is this yearning in him to match Lahti's strength and stand next to him, instead of just serving him. As for his feelings about Maria, I think he loves the memory of her, not what he now has. Through the series this becomes clearer and clearer to him (that he can't go back to that time and they can't be happy together). I have read the whole series (through currently serialized chapters), so I know everything that happens in volumes 3 and 4.
Also, I am curious to know whether the story is over completely now or not. The set up to Steal Moon was already established, the relationship between Lahti and Kai was finally solidified, though from what I've heard there is another chapter to be serialized in the magazine it ran in, so who knows? That might be a little too spoilerish for discussion here, though. At least right now, anyway.

Jul 05, 2012
http://www.pewtrusts.org/uploadedFiles/PCS_Assets/2012/Glossary_of_Medicaid_Terms.pdfThe Pew Home Visiting Campaign engaged the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) to conduct a first-of-its-kind investigation into how states are using—or could use—Medicaid to finance home visiting services.
NASHP conducted a literature review and a scan of state policies and practices nationwide to identify mechanisms for supporting home visiting services through Medicaid; prepared six case studies featuring different home visiting models and Medicaid financing methods; and facilitated a meeting at which state and federal government representatives and national home visiting experts discussed the benefits and challenges of Medicaid funding mechanisms.
Case Studies
These case studies include the history and rationale for using Medicaid, describe the services provided by the home visiting programs, and outline the provider requirements and Medicaid billing procedures used. We chose states with experiences representing a range of Medicaid financing mechanisms.
Using Medicaid, the Illinois Department of Human Services is able to claim a 50 percent federal match rate for certain outreach and case management activities delivered through home visiting. Download the case study.
More than 90 percent of the mothers participating in Kentucky's home visiting program were eligible for Medicaid, a state analysis found. Download the case study.
Through Michigan's Maternal and Infant Health Program, an initial assessment and up to nine professional visits per pregnancy are billable to Medicaid. Download the case study.
All 12 Medicaid managed care plans in Minnesota have added home visiting as a service. Download the case study.
Vermont's state plan amendment for Medicaid has supported home visiting programs since 1987. Download the case study.
About 47,000 Medicaid-eligible births occur in Washington State each year, and the First Steps home visiting program serves mothers and infants in nearly half of these cases. Download the case study.

"Let's just get their asses in the seats...And then do our best to give 'em their money's worth."
well put. seems like everyone but the big 2 is in line with that.
If the 'big two' have to remove pages to keep the $3 price, I'm all for it. $4 an issue is my breaking point for this hobby I've loved for 30 years.
boo 20 page comics
I'm a Scalped trade waiter. If they are removing 10 pages form the story arc, does that affect the price of the trade as well?
I knew this was going to happen. I asked Brian Wood how this would affect the last year of DMZ, and he said it wouldn't but.. fuck. Aaron is right, and I'm pissed. I'm pretty sure some books will be OK, but this has the potential to dramatically affect older that are nearing the finish line.
Hopefully any lost income from the DC page reduction will be made up in greater sales from those series due to the lowered price point. I'm not under the impression that artists get paid based on sales; but increased sales would result in the series lasting longer, which would ensure ongoing steady work, instead of having one thing get cancelled and having to move on to something different.
$3.99 is too much to pay for a comic - even great one's don't feel like value at that price - and that it all started at Marvel to 'maximize profit', presumably to boost up for the Disney sale, just feels really sleazy.
Just because we're fanboys and would walk nude through a blizzard for our comics doesn't mean we should be fleeced!
Even with DC's backups, I don't think it really felt like value - the only really good back-up I've read was the Jimmy Olsen one.
If they were all that good, I'd be happy with four bucks* an issue, but they aren't.
I don't mind losing two pages an issue, although I am shocked that they are doing to Vertigo books.
Very surprised that teams on creator owned books weren't told, but not surprised they didn't tell freelancers until it happened - that's the nature of the beast, in every industry.
This column jogged my memory of an old one Steven Grant wrote for CBR, about getting rid of the 22 page story!
It doesn't entirely mirror this situation at all, but I found it interesting that Jason, who presumably has been working with 22 pages for his career, finds it a good length, whereas a writer from a generation or two before, thought it was a really bad one.
*closer to six or seven in Aussie dollars - even with dollar at parity, it still costs more due to international shipping.

This growing rift between rising print costs and the free content of the internet (not to mention a stagnant economy) makes for a pretty sad print marketplace. I will restate my theory, the first big comic company that sells a $50 digital subscription to all of their titles every month could grow their audiences instead of chasing the ever-shrinking print market. You could also sell "The Batman Package" or whatever for a discounted price. I still like print books but everything points to a digital comics future and as an artist/writer I do not plan on being a dinosaur :)

Its baffling that publishers went straight from 2.99 to 3.99, which is a huge price increase for any product. Think about it. If the initial jump were $3.25 (which is about 8%) across the board, I guarantee fans would not have been so vehemently opposed.
In my industry, across the board price hikes are 3-5%, not like the exorbitant 33% hike Marvel/DC tried to charge.
"Calm down, call Batman." - Greg Capullo
"Calm down, call Batman." - Greg Capullo
why not bringing back the missed pages, still to $ 2.99, but with a less exhaustive paper...you know, the 'pulp' stuff.
if the editors maintain the 20 pages issues, then i want more cases...( that ain't for you Jason, just something i noticed reading 'Essentials' ) even for the current 22 pages issues, that work too.

Norfolk >Food & Dining > Kin's Wok Ghent
222 W 21ST St, Norfolk, VA | Directions 2351736.868176 -76.287301
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 11pm
Great value for the money – The Singapore Style Mai Fun is fantastic as are the Kung Pao veggies and the Moo Shu chicken. And for the money the potions are generous! The crab rangoons were terrible. Actually the filling for them was flavorful, but the external wrapper was too think and kind of rubber-like. I would say to stay away from the fried appatizer portion of the menu, but the remained is excellent!
Good american chinese food – Not sure what part of chia the other reviewer hails from but there a precious few items on the menu that might be considered authentic. None the less it is good quality american style chinese food. Much less greasy than many of the other restaraunts in the area. Portions are excellent but prices reaching the expensive side. Dish that I might expect to pay 6 dollars for in new york are closer to 10.00 here.
Best Chinese south of New England! – This place has amazing food! Fast delivery service and huge portions.
Especially flavorful sauces and delicious seasoning set Kin's Wok's dishes apart from the rest. – The Scene:
If you like Chinese then skip the buffets and head to Kin's Wok, where the credo is "To serve the best and charge the least," and where prices already include tax. Every one of the menu's over-two hundred items are fresh and prepared to order. The portions are large enough for leftovers to become the next day's lunch. The combo plates include an egg roll and plenty of fried rice. With the bulk of the clientele coming in for takeout, Kin's Wok is extremely casual; order at the counter and pour your own tea. If you need to be pampered go somewhere else, but for good Chinese at a reasonable price, Kin's Wok is the place.
If you order one thing:
If you liked a dish somewhere else you'll love it here.

The cast of "Boy Meets World" is wandering down this road that we call marriage!
Both Danielle Fishel (who played Topanga) and Rider Strong (who played Shawn) tied the knot over the weekend.
Let's break down the two weddings:
Fishel, 35, wed longtime boyfriend Tim Belusko at Vibiana, a former cathedral, in Los Angeles this past Saturday, 10/19. She told PEOPLE magazine that "The most important thing is that the day feels authentic to us. We're traditional, but also a bit wacky!" The bride wore a lace Enzoani wedding gown and was escorted down the aisle by her father to the song "Forever" by Brian Culbertson. Over 200 guests were present, including 12 bridal party attendants.More Wedding News: Jon Bon Jovi Walks a Fan Down the Aisle
One day later, her former costar Strong, 33, married actress Alexandra Barreto at an undisclosed camp site in Oregon. The couple hosted an untraditional, camp-themed celebration. Us Weekly reports that it included a ropes course, games, and a talent show. Guests even slept in bunk beds! The boho-chic vibe was reflected in their outfit choices as well: The bride wore a Nicole Miller dress; the groom donned a Rag & Bone suit; and the bridesmaids' ensembles consisted of handmade skirts from Etsy, chambray shirts, brown belts and boots. (Talk about a master class in mixing and matching your bridesmaids!)
Other fun details: Guests indulged in ice cream from Ruby Jewel and the band Typhoon performed (they offered to come play after the groom tweeted that he was a huge fan of theirs).
We know what you're thinking - where was Ben Savage, who played Cory on the hit '90s show? He attended Fishel's wedding in LA but couldn't make it to Strong's Oregon nuptials. Strong released a statement before the wedding, saying that "I am missing some of my 'Boy Meets World' family...That was my fault, [Danielle] chose the date first."
Scheduling conflicts aside, we know we can't wait for the highly-anticipated spinoff "Girl Meets World," which is set to premiere sometime in 2014 on The Disney Channel. The comedy series will center on Cory and Topanga's tween daughter, Riley, and her experiences in middle school.
Congratulations to the happy newlyweds!

brazil: building the struggle against forest monocultures in the pampas
The scale of the problem is massive, but information on current and potential impacts of huge plantations is quite scarce in the region — or at least seldom reaches local communities or social movements and organizations.
what happened: To confront this considerable threat, Friends of the Earth Brazil / Núcleo Amigos da Terra identified the need to design and implement new communication strategies, to tell the public about the socio-environmental impacts of expanding exotic trees monocultures in the Pampas region in Rio Grande do Sul state.
The group produced a booklet to raise awareness about the impacts of the agri-business model, and present alternatives for sustainable production to farmers and rural population of the region. They gathered available printed materials on the impacts of such developments, information about the Pampas's history and culture, and incorporated information from a debate on alternatives at the May 2008 seminar, "Pampa and Sustainability: The Pursuit of Productive Options."
The completed booklet, titled "Disputed Pampas: Biodivesity Threatened by the Expansion of Tree Monocultures", was reproduced in 2,800 copies that reached more than 10.000 people. Recipients included rural producers, experts and politicians of the region. The booklet was written in Portuguese as well as Spanish, which allowed for its distribution in Uruguay and Argentina too.
what is changing: A key result of the publication was the spread of ideas and examples for sustainable production — some of which resulted from the debate at the above-mentioned seminar. Thus a number of rural communities became informed about alternative production and income generation, as well as exotic tree plantations impacts.
The various steps entailed in creating the booklet also helped increased FoE Brazil's capacity to address this major social-environmental conflict. It allowed FoE Brazil to expand their capacity and knowledge on deforestation and pulp production impacts, as well as alternatives for the Pampas. This will help campaigners' reinforce arguments they use in the struggle against expansions of monoculture plantations.
This project also proved useful at the FoE Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) meeting in Porto Alegre in June 2007. The booklet was distributed, and FoE Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay's strategies to halt the construction of pulp mills in the Pampas were discussed.
what we learned: This project underlined the value of communication strategies and capacity, and reaching wider audiences, as key aspects in campaigning against a dominant development model.
FoE Brazil also learned that people must revisit their collective history and culture if they are to better resist what is being imposed on them and their territories. Information about alternatives to exotic tree plantations is also vital, if people are to recognize feasible options in the face of the current overwhelming development model. It is also important to realize that putting alternatives in place depends on the political will of government officials and institutions.
what next: For the near future is crucial to advance the development of sustainable alternative production systems, by exerting pressure on the government of Rio Grande do Sul and the governments of the region, as well as on national and international institutions. Continued awareness raising and capacity building will also be crucial.
Some current plans include strengthening skills and sharing experiences among FoE groups in the region, and from there coordinating new actions within the framework of Friends of the Earth International's campaign against forestry monocultures.
