I am an ESL teacher teaching in a public school in China.I am having difficulties with my grade 2(11-13 years old) ESL class. The students in this school come from affluent families.They think that the Spoken English class is just for playing games & watching movies.Any other activity that I try with them is instantaneously rejected which means no participation from them.They are also little arrogant in front of the students of other classes which only adds to the trouble .Talking to their (Chinese) English teacher about this works for a while & then everything goes back to where it started. They are an intelligent class & get very good grades in the exams(including the English written tests).So I guess the only problem is with their attitude. To be honest I am not so experienced in tackling problems like these , so I am asking for help.
I need guidance from the experienced ESL teachers & forum members as to how I can cope with this situation & help the students so that they continue improving their Oral English skills. Any help in this case is highly appreciated as I am running short of ideas.

Before the Premiership encounter with Liverpool, Arsenal Football Club welcomed a group of 12 men who participated in a 'Jim'll Fix It' match at Highbury in January 1981.
As part of the Club's final season at Highbury celebrations, the Club welcomed back the group of boys who took on an Arsenal side at Arsenal Stadium 25 years ago.
The young men had all undergone heart surgery and were invited to play at Arsenal Stadium following a letter sent by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to the 1980s favourite, 'Jim'll Fix it' programme which made young people's dreams come true.
'Heart Line,' the name given to the team of young boys playing against the Arsenal side, lost the game 5-4. The Arsenal team, managed by Terry Neill, included Pat Jennings, John Hollins, Kenny Sansom, Brian Talbot, David O'Leary, Willie Young, Terry McDermott, Paul Davis, Frank Stapleton, Steve Gatting, Graham Rix and Steve Walford.
Sir Jimmy Savill, who unfortunately could not make the reunion, said: "25 years ago, one of our greatest ever 'fix its' was courtesy of Arsenal Football Club. Millions of people saw the film and were completely thrilled and I received many letters from football clubs saying Arsenal were terrific doing a fix it and could we do one at their ground. Well done for turning the clock back and love to everybody.Now then, now then."
Elliot Cohen, one of the Heart Line team members from Elstree said: "As it's Arsenal's final season at Highbury, I thought it would be great to get together at the stadium to celebrate the game that took place all those years ago. It's a fascinating piece of Highbury history and something I hold close to my heart as an Arsenal fan."
Arsenal Football Club's designated 'Reading Champion', Philippe Senderos, visited North Library, Manor Gardens, Islington on Thursday, March 16 to launch the Premier League Reading Stars initiative.
The project is aimed at encouraging people of all ages to read more books and access their local libraries. Each club has nominated a Reading Champion, who has selected their favourite children's or adults' book to create a list that will be used to inspire families across the country to read.
Philippe, who selected The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, met local
youngsters participating in the scheme and answered questions about
his reading habits, he also helped them with literacy activities
before handing out prizes to the young people.
Philippe said: "I first read The Alchemist when I was 17 years old. I like this story as it's a simple tale with a valuable message. The story is about a young shepherd from southern Spain who dreams of a distant treasure in north Africa. He decides to leave Spain to follow his dream. Along the way he meets many interesting characters who teach him different lessons. The moral of the tale is to follow your heart to achieve your destiny, which I think is significant to all - whatever age."
Players from all 20 Premier League clubs have selected a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books in order to encourage families to read together.
The scheme has been developed as part of a partnership between the National Literacy Trust, Arts Council England, Football Foundation and the Premier League, and will be supported by a series of family reading groups at libraries across the country.
All clubs have adopted at least one library, which receives free copies of all the player-recommended titles. All participants have the chance to meet an author, and take part in a series of football based literacy games throughout the initiative.
Dave Richards, Chairman of the Premier League and the Football Foundation, said: "With Premier League Reading Stars, we hope to be able to use footballers' favourite book choices as a way of inspiring families to read together. The programme gives players the opportunity to act as positive role."
Before our game against Charlton, Theo Walcott met children who had won the opportunity to attend the game by being selected as the most hard working pupils at the Study Support Centre. The children had a great time and even predicted the score of the game before the match! For more information on the Study Support Centre please contact Steve Wilson on 020 7697 8467 or e-mail email@example.com.
Charlton was a busy game for Community Department presentations with Arsenal's Vice Chairman David Dein meeting children from the Arsenal Double Club who, before the game, had taken part in a penalty shoot-out competition in the O2 Sports Centre. For more information on the Arsenal Double Club please contact Scott Cohen on 020 7704 4149 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Philippe Senderos helped celebrate Arsenal in the Community's 21st anniversary at Drayton Park Primary School last week. The Swiss defender, who celebrated his 21st Birthday in the same week as the Club's community department did in February, visited the school near Emirates Stadium to celebrate its 'Book Corner Week.' Taking a look at the children's book corners, Philippe said: "It's wonderful to see the children's work and encourage them to read and it's an honour to celebrate the community's work which dates back to the year I was born! This is my third visit to an Arsenal in the Community initiative and it's always great to see the work the Club does off the pitch.
"I wish all those who work for the department a happy 21st anniversary and hope that the many participants in the different schemes enjoy a year of exciting events and celebrations."
We are pleased to announce that our traditional 11-a-side Men's Charity tournament will take place this year, as usual, on the pitch at the end of the season during late May and the beginning of June.
The tournament is extremely popular and there is no need to tell you that this year will be very special - it being the last Charity Shield to be held at Highbury before the move to Emirates Stadium. This will be your very last chance to play on Arsenal's historic pitch.
We ask for a minimum team donation of £2,000 (from a company) or £1,500 (from a group of individuals).
All the money goes to the Arsenal Charitable Trust, details can be obtained from Beverley Nicholas via e-mail at email@example.com or by ringing her on 020 7704 4142.
The Eight teams took part in a highly successful afternoon of matches in February organised by 'Access to Sport'. Arsenal Positive Futures entered two Estate based teams from Islington, one from Harvist Estate and the other from Crouch Hall Court.
The tournament was divided into two groups with Harvist Estate in Group 1 and Crouch Hall Court in Group 2. Both teams came through their respective preliminary rounds winning two games and drawing one. This placed the teams head to head in the semi-final. With both teams evenly matched the final result was a 2-1 win to Harvist.
In a tense final against Copenhagen Youth Project, both teams gave very little away. The game finished 0-0 after normal time and through the golden goal period. Onto the penalty shoot out and with the score at one goal a piece, pressure was on Duane O'Achie from Harvist to score the final penalty.
Duane hit a perfect shot to the 'keeper's right hand side. Although the goalie went the right way he could not stop the shot hitting the inside of the post and going in.
This achievement was all the more significant as no other team has ever won this tournament fielding girls in their team who played a valuable part in the success of the Harvist Estate side.
Billy Havan, who played in goal for Harvist Estate, was awarded Player of the Tournament.

Nowadays there is pressure on parents to help children with their school work; many parents are happy to do this but do not know exactly how. After all they are not trained teachers!
The Arsenal Double Club has successfully run curriculum-time classes and after-school clubs using a range of literacy and numeracy material based on Arsenal and football in general. The material is designed to encourage learning among children who would be inspired because of their support for Arsenal and/or their love of football.
We are seeking a group of parents, carers or grandparents who have a child currently in Year 5 who would benefit from some extra numeracy and literacy work during the long summer holidays. These parents would use Arsenal Double Club resources in a 'one on one', home-schooling type of situation with their child over the summer.
We will train this group of pioneering parents to use the
material to help improve their children's literacy and numeracy
skills. We will also show them some simple football practices to
develop their children's individual football skills (and
possibly their own).
This is a unique opportunity, and as a pilot scheme it will cost just £15 in total.
The Double Club approach is fun and it works!
It will not seem like being in school for your children - but it might be for you ...... you will need to attend three two-hour evening sessions in June/July before the summer holidays. There will also be a follow up session at the end of the holidays to feedback on how everything went.
For further details contact Paul Thompson, Assistant Double Club Co-ordinator, on 020 7704 4152 or email: email@example.com
Recently the Double Club hosted the final of the first Penalty Competition for some of its Islington Primary schools. Ten pupils from Ambler, Highbury Quadrant, New North Community, Drayton Park and Winton primary schools took part in the shoot out before the tremendous 7-0 victory over Middlesbrough. At half-time David Dein presented a medal to the winner and certificates to each of the participating pupils.
Well it doesn't seem like 21 years ago that Arsenal set up a community sports department, but in February, 'Arsenal in the Community' celebrated its 21st Birthday. Older than a number of the current first team squad, the hard working unit has been at the forefront of some dynamic and innovative projects which have made a significant contribution to the local and wider community.
A week-long celebration to mark the milestone took place during February and some familiar faces were on hand to join the celebrations.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Artist Gina Soden is obsessed with abandoned buildings. The more likely it is to fall down, the better. The looser the wallpaper, the sadder the state of repair and the more likely she is to encounter a mad guard dog, security man or whizzing CCTV camera, the more exciting.
She scrambles through holes in fences, hides from angry guards by burying her face in mud, and clambers into buildings with more warning and hazard signs than remaining window glass.
While photographing the rotting splendour of a derelict Victorian asylum she got in trouble when a "very scary" Alsatian dog sniffed her out.
"I was confronted by a barking dog and a very aggressive security guard who accused me of breaking and entering which of course I never do. I had found my way in through a board which had simply been propped up against a door frame," she says.
"I was pretty annoyed as he wanted my memory cards and he had called the police...I quickly stuffed my memory cards in my pants when he had his back turned to ensure my pictures couldn't be erased."
Soden's photographs have a stillness and quiet drama about them in contrast to the tales of derring-do that gave birth to them. The buildings chosen represent the heights of ambition, ornate architecture, military compounds huge wealth and family life relegated to ruin by neglect.
She gains unlicensed access to take her photographs – but denies "breaking and entering"- which adds a time limit and urgency to her creation of them.
Her work could be described as the art equivalent of "found footage": it is documentary in style, featuring objects, buildings and situations that existed before she came upon them, but which are stylistically her own have an almost painterly quality.
Each piece, reflective of the demise an institution or great manor house, tells its own sad story.
From running from security guards to hiding face down in the mud, read more stories of how Gina Soden came to make her art.

As we all know, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas in Japan if it weren't for fried chicken. It seems everyone gets their so-called "Kentucky Christmas" fix by December 25th, even the cutest of the cookie-cutter cute J-Pop girl groups like KARA, pictured above, can be seen savoring the fryolator flavor of crispy holiday cheer in this year's commercial for Family Mart. Of course, KARA already have a Christmas hit to add to the 12 Days of J-Pop Christmas list with their single "Winter Magic", but wouldn't you rather see them work some fried chicken into their seasonal song and dance routine? I thought so! And because you've been such good boys and girls this year I'm not only adding KARA's rhapsody in white short-shorts music video for "Winter Magic" to this post, but I'll also be including a bonus Japanese "Kentucky Christmas" KFC commercial, starring Japanese ingenue Haruka Ayase. Take it away, babes!

When the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) decided to repaint the entire Ben Franklin Bridge, the gateway to the heart of historic Philadelphia, a three-coat system was designed to prevent paint break-down and rust formation. The work was divided into five painting phases. STV served as the construction monitor for the fifth and final phase of the painting project, which included grit blasting and painting of the Philadelphia approach to the main span, cable support struts and anchorage interiors. The firm monitored the contractor for contract compliance, inspected the completed work, documented the project, coordinated operations and acted as a liaison to the DRPA. STV's structural inspectors also checked the blasted steel for cracks and section loss because old paint and rust can hide steel deficiencies during initial inspections. The project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Does a boat using just a trolling motor have to be registered?
Yes, any boat with mechanical propulsion must be registered if it is being operated in waters of the State of Georgia. If the boat is used exclusively on private ponds, then it does not need to be registered.
I have a sailboat without a motor. Does it have to be registered?
All sailboats with mechanical propulsion must be registered regardless of length. Sailboats less than 12 feet in length without mechanical prolusion do not require registration. Sailboats 12 feet or longer must be registered whether or not they have mechanical propulsion. Boats operated exclusively on private ponds or lakes do not have to be registered.
How long does a boat registration last?
Vessel registrations extend for a period of three calendar years and expire the last day of the vessel owner's month of birth in the last year of registration.
How long does it take to receive a boat registration?
Customers will receive their decals and registration card within two weeks of completing payment and after all required documents are received.
How do I obtain a duplicate boat registration (registration card or decals)?
A duplicate registration card with duplicate decals can be requested by MAIL, TELEPHONE at 1-800-366-2661, or ONLINE following the procedures for boat registration. Duplicate Registration cards and decals are purchased / printed together. The registration cannot be expired. The cost is $1.00 plus an $8.00 service charge if done online, $10.00 service charge by phone, or $10 service change by mail using the boat registration application. If you choose to do this online, go through the screens as if you are registering your boat, and you will get to a choice to purchase a duplicate registration.
I received a letter asking for additional documents. Can I fax or email these documents?
If you receive a notification stating additional documents are needed to process your boat registration, the documents may be uploaded using your online account [25], or sent by fax or email. Make sure to send only copies and keep the original for your records.
The email address for documents is:
email@example.com [26]
The fax number for documents is:
678-515-9470 (fax)
The mailing address for documents is:
Georgia Department of Natural Resources
P.O. Box 934943
Atlanta, GA 31193-4943
How do I get a refund for my boat registration?
Refund requests are processed by DNR. Only under limited conditions are fees paid to WRD refundable or reversible. Customers may receive a refund for charges related to electronic system errors or for payment where they do not receive any privilege or other consideration such as for overpayment.
Can I keep my existing boat registration numbers if they expire?
Once a boat registration has expired, the numbers may be reassigned. Generally if the boat registration expired within the last calendar year, it is likely that the numbers have not been reassigned. The longer a boat goes unregistered, the more likely it is that the numbers will be reassigned and no longer available for the previous customer's use.
Do I need to notify DNR if I sell or no longer have my boat?
Owners of Georgia registered boats must notify DNR of the sale or transfer, theft or recovery, or destruction or abandonment of a boat within 15 days. This may be done three ways:
1. Online at GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com [28]. Press "Vessel Registration & Renewal," log into your account, select the boat, and Press "Sold Your Boat?" and follow the steps; OR
2. Call (706) 664-0037 for interactive voice response; OR
(Normal Processing)
3. In writing. A notification form is located HERE [29]. The signed form may be returned to DNR by:
The email address for documents is: firstname.lastname@example.com. [30]
The fax number for documents is: 678-515-9470 (fax)
The mailing address for documents is:
Georgia Department of Natural Resources
P.O. Box 934943
Atlanta, GA 31193-4943
Do I need to notify DNR if I change address?
Owners of Georgia registered boats must notify the Department of a change in address from that shown on their boat registration card within 15 days. This notification must be sent to the address below. Or owners may log onto their online account or call the Service Center at 1-800-366-2661 to notify the Department of their change of address.

My boat is registered in another state. Can I use it in Georgia?
If a boat is fully registered and valid in another state, the boat may be used in Georgia. However, after 60 days of continuous use in Georgia, the boat must have Georgia registration.
Why does DNR require the use of the owner's social security number for boat registration?
Federal Coast Guard regulations (CFR Title 33, Section 187.101) require that SSN or individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITIN) be reported for each owner or owners of a vessel, if the person has one of these numbers. If an owner does not have a SSN or ITIN number, other information can be collected and reported.
Why do I have to pay a transaction fee to register my boat?
In December 2007, DNR first entered into a contract with an outside vendor to design and manage an automated hunting and fishing license and boat registration system. The new license system was required to replace a failing automated licensing system that was not going to be licensed and available to DNR after December 2008. In short, the system was failing and had to be replaced. Absent of a significant funding source to develop and manage a new system "in-house", DNR explored contractual options for obtaining a "no cost to state" contract like those adopted in many other states. Funding for this type of system would be recovered by the addition of a service charge paid by the buyer at the time of the purchase. The current contract includes: boat registration and renewal online, by telephone, and by mail, and requires mailing registration cards and decals to vessel owners. A Service Center operated by the vendor receives about 200,000 calls per year and registers boat, sells licenses and answers questions about boat registration and recreational hunting and fishing licenses.
My registration expired and now I'm told the registration numbers on my boat aren't available and must be changed. Why?
When boat registration numbers expire, they become available to be reused. We do this because of the limited quantity of numbers available. While the odds favor that an expired registration number won't be quickly selected by the computer once it expires, it is available upon expiration and if reassigned is no longer available to the previous registrant. We suggest maintaining boat registrations rather than letting them expire. An expired registration incurs an additional $10 late fee at renewal.
My out-of-state boat title is held by lien holder - what action, if any, should I take?
In Georgia, in order for a lien holder to record your outstanding debt against the vessel, the lien holder may file a UCC-1 form. A checklist and procedures can be found at https://www.gsccca.org/filesandforms/uccforms.asp [31]. This is done at the Georgia county level through the county's Clerk of Superior Court where the boat owner resides and is not available through the License and Boat Registration Unit. Lien holders are often aware of this procedure, and will take the necessary steps to ensure their lien is secure against a Georgia registered boat.
Once the lien holder releases the lien against the out-of-state title, they may provide the title to the boat owner. Georgia will accept the original title or a legible copy for registration purposes.
A boat has been left on my property. How do I take control of the boat (abandoned vessel)?
Georgia's Abandoned Vessel Code, O.C.G.A 52-7-70 through O.C.G.A. 52-7-77, details the steps required in order to declare a vessel abandoned by the State of Georgia. An Abandoned Vessel Package [32] put together by WRD Law Enforcement Section is a helpful guide that contains required forms and outlines processes that may be used to declare a vessel abandoned under Georgia law.
The two key forms to initiate the process, the Abandoned Vessel Notice and Information Request directed to both Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Georgia Bureau of Investigation can be found in the Abandoned Vessel Package. These must be completed with as much information as is known and submitted to the Agency and addresses noted at the top of each form.
If the vessel was abandoned at a storage facility and you have a copy of a contract with the individual that stored the vessel indicating that the vessel was "Specified collateral" and the individual defaulted on that contract, then all you have to do is complete the Default of Security Interest / Transfer Statement [33] to transfer the vessel into your name. It will not be necessary to go through the "Abandoned Vessel" process whenever self-storage facilities contract with individuals and the property stored is "Specified Collateral" and the customer defaults on that security interest.
Why did you cash my check for boat registration before sending my registration decals?
Our mail-in boat registration procedures were established to meet our fiduciary responsibility to both the State of Georgia and to our customers. The first objective for mail-in payments is to ensure that customer's fees are processed and recorded in such a manner to prevent mishandling of payments, in part accomplished by keeping the number of individuals handling your payment to the lowest level possible. The P.O. Box that receives your boat registration application and payment are physically located at a bank processing center used by the State of Georgia so that your payment is deposited immediately upon receipt. A scanned image of your check or money order is generated as a reference, and your boat registration application is sent from the bank to our license vendor for processing and fulfillment. If the application is complete and all necessary documents are present, the application is completely processed within 48 hours. Decals are created and mailed twice each week. It typically takes about two weeks from the time we receive your application at the P.O. Box until you receive your decals, or receive a letter stating that the application is not complete or documents are missing.
Does Georgia register or title outboard motors?
The State of Georgia does not and has never titled or registered outboard motors. The National Vessel Numbering & Titling Manual, Third Edition, published by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators in 2011 gives information on each state's vessel numbering and titling practices including which states title and/or register outboard motors.
How do I register my boat trailer?
All boat trailers must be registered with the Georgia Motor Vehicle Division. Registration is done through your local County Tax Commissioners Office (Tag Office). Here is a link that shows Tax Office locations: https://mvd.dor.ga.gov/motor/tagoffices/SelectTagOffice.aspx [34].
I built a homemade boat. How do I register it?
Homemade boats must be assigned a hull identification number (HIN). To get a HIN, persons should initiate the boat registration process and pay for registration using the normal process (mail or phone) so that a record of the boat is in our system. Trailerable boats must be taken to a WRD inspection location to receive a HIN. HIN Inspections are conducted at locations statewide on a varying schedule. Inspections will not be performed if customers have not paid for a registration in advance of the inspection.
Boat owners should bring receipts for materials used to construct the boat, and any documents and correspondence that relate to the boat, boat construction, or registration process that may be helpful during the HIN Inspection that support registration.
For large boats moored at marinas that cannot be trailered, customers should call the office that handles the county where the boat is located to arrange for a HIN Inspection. A list of WRD offices by county can be found here [35].
Do I have to keep my boat registered?
There is no requirement that the boat remain registered. However, there is a possibility that the registration number on the boat may be reassigned if the registration is allowed to lapse. Registrations allowed to lapse will incur a $10 late fee at renewal.
I am absolutely unable to get proof of ownership documents to support my Georgia boat registration. What are my options?
Boat owners should use every effort to obtain the required supporting documents for boat registration. to avoid costs to themselves and the state. If all options have been exhausted, an Affidavit of Vessel Ownership may be provided by the owner of the vessel.
Information for lien holders, lenders and others regarding original titles and original Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO) / Uniform Commercial Code Georgia
Georgia is not a title state for vessels, and therefore does not record liens against vessel titles. In order for an in-state or out-of-state lender to record outstanding debt against a vessel and an individual, the lender will file a Georgia UCC-1 form through the Georgia Superior Court Clerk's Cooperative Authority. Refer to the following site for information and a checklist: http://www.gsccca.org/learn/projects-programs/ucc-system [36]
A direct link to UCC forms is:
https://www.gsccca.org/filesandforms/uccforms.asp [31]
This process is done at the Georgia county level through the resident's county Clerk of Superior Court and is not available through the WRD License and Boat Registration Unit. Many lenders are aware of this process.
The original manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO) or vessel title (if coming from another state) is not needed for the UCC process. After filing a Georgia UCC-1 form, the lender may give the original MSO or original title to the vessel owner.
What is the Fishing Birthday Bonus program for boat owners?
As part of their boat registration fee, Georgia residents 16 and older who own a vessel with a current, valid registration can fish and use some DNR sites such as shooting ranges where a WMA stamp or GORP would be required to hunt small game for three consecutive days starting on their birthday. This law change takes effect July 1, 2013.
Boat owners must carry personal ID and their vessel registration card (as proof of a valid vessel registration) when taking advantage of this outdoors birthday bonus. Some activities require additional licenses or permits.

Kansas City Week in Review connects the dots this Friday, January 10 at 7:30 pm on one of the most important issues playing out in both Topeka and Jefferson City as they launch their legislative sessions this week: The Medicaid Gap. These are the people living below the poverty level, yet ineligible to qualify for free health care under the state's Medicaid program and too poor to pay for subsidized plans under the Affordable Care Act. There are 85,000 people in the gap in Kansas, 193,000 in Missouri.
KCPT special correspondent Sam Zeff has an in-depth report, and as part of our ongoing reporting partnership with KHI News Service, we're joined in the studio by KHI Executive Editor Jim McLean.
KMUW Wichita Publis Radio: Kansans Continue Push For Medicaid Expansion
Resource: Cost estimates for expanding Medicaid in Kansas
KHI News Service related coverage:
Advocates in each state taking similar tacks in hopes of coaxing reluctant Republican policymakers
By Phil Cauthon, Jim McLean and Mike Sherry
KHI News Service
TOPEKA — The political dynamics are a bit different in Kansas than in Missouri, but in both states supporters of expanded Medicaid programs are taking the same tack in hopes of persuading reluctant Republican policymakers to eliminate the so-called "Medicaid gap" that is leaving more than 340,000 low-income Kansans and Missourians without health insurance.
The Affordable Care Act, as written, would have expanded Medicaid in every state, including Missouri and Kansas where the eligibility restrictions are relatively tight. But the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 ruled that expansion was a decision for each state to make on its own.
Kansas and Missouri are among the 24 states that so far have chosen against broadening the program, despite entreaties from hospitals, doctors, consumer advocates and others.
Kansas, led by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and a GOP-dominated Legislature, is expected to reconsider the issue in the weeks ahead.
In Missouri, Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, has been urging the Republican-controlled General Assembly to do the same.
In this package of stories, KHI News Service looks at the latest developments in each state as their legislatures prepare to convene 2014 sessions.
Also included are profiles of families in each state that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid as it is currently configured, but too little for the subsidies intended to help people (earning between 100 percent and 400 percent of federal poverty guidelines) buy private health coverage through the new marketplaces created by the Affordable Care Act.
Stories in this package
→ Kansas hospitals leading new push for Medicaid expansion
→ Profiles of the coverage gap: Kathleen Christian
→ MO Medicaid expansion advocates hope summer work yields compromise
→ Single mom in KCMO seeks benefit of preventive care
→ Challenger says Brownback owes voters a decision on Medicaid expansion
→ KS Senate president says Medicaid expansion unlikely to gain approval this session
The KHI News Service is an editorially independent initiative of the Kansas Health Institute. It is supported in part by a variety of underwriters. The News Service is committed to timely, objective and in-depth coverage of health issues and the policy-making environment.

Your Annual Handy-Dandy Guide to the Upcoming Legislative Sessions in Kansas and Missouri
Missouri lawmakers returned to Jefferson City on Wednesday. Kansas state lawmakers return to Topeka on Monday. We track the top 5 issues you need to keep an eye on in both state capitals.
Kansas welfare rolls shrink by half
A new report reveals that the number of Kansans on welfare has plummeted to an average of 18,844 a month. That's less than half the 38,963 a month when Governor Sam Brownback took office at the start of 2011. Have they all found new jobs or is something else at play?
Macy's to close at Metcalf South
The end of an era for the Overland Park based shopping mall. Eighty-eight local jobs will be lost. Macy's plans to close its Metcalf South Mall location along with four other stores across the U.S. as part of a cost reduction program. A clearance sale at the Overland Park department store starts Monday.
Spanish Streetcars
Why critics of Kansas City's new streetcar line are incensed that city officials are heading to Spain on a tax funded trip to see how streetcars are working there.
New $17.5 million housing complex for KU Basketball players
It's a front page story that's raising eyebrows this week. But university athletic officials are adamant they need this to recruit top players. But are students and taxpayers being fouled in the process?
Laying to rest R. Crosby Kemper, Jr.
Around 900 people attended a public service for the prominent banker, civic leader and philanthropist before a private burial on Thursday. Though the 6-foot-7 Kemper was physically imposing, he was remembered for his caring side.

She writes in a new book, "Fighting for Common Ground," about her 34 years on Capitol Hill as Congress went from a place where parties worked to forge compromise to today's corrosive politics. She says Washington can change and that voters must demand it. The release of her book this week coincides with an online push to get voters to turn up the heat on lawmakers through the Bipartisan Policy Center, a nonprofit think tank.

ok kids here gos this is my first post here so i am going to try to make it a good one .i have a 1970 chevy pickup long bed .i am going to try a disc break swap and keep the 6lug wheels ,i have been told that i can use a 1973 doner truck for spindles and a arms and then use a 1991 3/4 ton 6 lug rotor to get the ,6 lug setup .i am going to take pictures and post them if anyone wants to see them. if anyone has done this and wants to help with any info please reply to this ...thanks bandit
3/4-ton is an 8-lug. '66 was the last year for 6-lug. You must be talking about a 3/4-ton '70 Chevy, yeah?
NO i was thinking of for a 1991 Chevrolet Truck C2500 3/4ton P/U 2WD the part number is 5572 and the price is $63.99i went to autozone andc looked at a 1973 chevy and the 1991 chevy Brake Rotor thet use the same Wheel Bearing part number 15103S so it should work .i am going to put the 1973 disc break on the 1970 and the swap out the 1991 rotor so i can keep my 6 lug wheel and have disc breaks
Hello,I know this is an old post. I thought the same thing. 1991 C2500 or 3/4 ton GVW 7800 is 6 lug and the bearings will all work, in fact the rotor fits on perfect............but the rotor sets more outboard, the inner brake pad will not go out far enough to hit the rotor and there is no room to even put on the outer brake pad. I tried it does not work.

I wanted to ask if anyone has a preference as to what to burn for smoking your bees? It's a simple question, but have you ever thought about it?
SMITE THE MITE WITH SMOKEBeekeepers have a long established practice of using smoke to calm their bees before opening the hive. Now US Department of Agriculture scientists have found another potential benefit from smoke - when burned some plant smokes give off natural chemicals that control honeybee mites.The standard method of Varroa treatment in the USA is using fluvalinate. Fluvalinate is a synthetic pyrethroid which is harmless to bees, but cannot be used whilst bees are producing honey otherwise the honey becomes contaminated. A further problem with fluvalinate is that the mites can develop resistance to it. Alternative control mechanisms are being investigated.Dr Frank Eischen has found that smoke from certain plants either kills Varroa mites or causes them to fall off the bees.300-400 mite infested bees are put in a cage and the cage is covered with a plastic container. The smoke from the trial plant is puffed into the container which is then corked to prevent the smoke escaping.After 60 seconds the bees are removed and placed over sticky white card to catch any mites that fall off the bees. So far Dr Eischen has tested smoke from about 40 plants.The first smoke Dr Eischen tested was from the 'creosote' bush, following a recommendation by a Mexican beekeeper, David Cardoso. The creosote bush is native to Mexico and Texas.Creosote bush smoke achieves a 90-100% mite knockdown after one minute but excessive exposure to the smoke harms the bees."It is hard to find chemicals that remove mites without harming beesâ€, says Dr Eischen. "Grapefruit leaves however fit the description. After 30 seconds smoke from the grapefruit leaves knocked down 90-95% of the mitesâ€.Few of the mites are actually killed, most simply fall off the bees. "Either the smoke chemicals irritate or confuse the mitesâ€, says Dr Eischen, "no-one is certainâ€. "But the good thing is that the leaf smoke does not seem to have any detrimental effects on the bees at allâ€.Dr Eischen is not recommending that beekeepers try these methods of control yet. "These findings are still preliminary and the active chemicals in the smoke are not yet identified. What we are trying to do is isolate and identify the chemicals which are acting as miticides†he explains.This information is taken from an article written by Sean Adams in Agricultural Research, August 1997, kindly provided by Dr Darrell Cox of Echo Inc.


text: There doesn't seem to be a thread for this year's show so I'll start one. I really don't like to wade through all the talking & fluff in the audition shows so I've been reading & listening to the recaps on Reality Rocks. I haven't really been impressed with anyone yet until last night's show - until Ashley Williams performed. This 24yr old sounds a lot like Whitney Houston. She even sang I Will Always Love You, which I normally hate from anyone other than Whitney, but it was emotional & pitch-perfect. The judges & the audience were going crazy but she never lost her poise the entire song. X Factor USA may have actually finally found a commercial success. Some cute boy may win the show but I predict this girl is going to be huge. Her talent is that special IMO.

Richard Brunstrom, Chief Constable of North Wales, issued a powerful report which claims the war on drugs has failed and it is time to explore other alternatives. "If policy on drugs is in future," he writes, "to be pragmatic, not moralistic, driven by ethics, not dogma, then the current prohibitionist stance will have to be swept away as both unworkable and immoral, to be replaced with an evidence based unified system (including tobacco and alcohol) aimed at minimisation of harms to society." He notes in his statement, a report from the Chief Medical Officer of Wales who found in 2004 that 13,000 died from tobacco use, 2,052 died from alcohol and only 356 died from use of illegal drugs.
The war on drugs has failed just at Prohibition in the 1920s failed. One can only wonder how advocates of current drug laws would explain to a visiting Martian anthropologist why an array of drugs like Prozac are perfectly OK as are alcohol and tobacco, but other drugs are not. Our drugs laws make absolutely no sense and only serve to create a drug culture which produces violence and corruption. It is amazing how society fails to learn anything from the Prohibition era. Brunstrom, like most police officers, understands the current drug laws, at best, result in arresting minor players while those making millions live in peace and will never see the inside of a jail. Of the current 2,000,000 people in jails in America, one-third are there due to violation of drug laws. How does society benefit from such figures?

I would estimate the build at about $2k, us ord is getting $4k for a gun that doesn't work very well from what I have heard. the vickers kits were $450 a couple of months ago. if you buy a kit and sit on it for awhile you more than likely will make a profit. MG42 kits could be had for $500.00 a year ago, they are over $1,500 now.Quote:

I don't know about the tripod, I do know the price for one will have me looking for an alternative. possiblu the 1928 tripods from oow will work.
Sherman is supposed to be sending me the photos and information for the build tutorial this weekend, and I will be starting on the tutorial as soon as I get them. you will be able to see what is involved in the build.
I understand how you feel, there are a lot of things I want to get before they dry up or get unaffordable or are banned by some new gun ban. I think the key is to get the kits, then get the rest later.
as far as the vickers go I have no idea how many kits ima has , but once a few people get guns built they will not be available for long.
Did I miss anything?

GWACS Armory Store
i have had one of these for the past few years. in spite of its plastic construction it has served well as a knock-around/test-bed/truck gun in 7.62x39 mostly though it has has an a-1 upper and various 16" car uppers on it from time to time.
the only gripes i have about it are minor. i painted mine black as it was one of the coyote tan models , now some of the paint has rubbed off.
certain mags seem to fit the mag well better than others. the fact that the take-down pins go in from the wrong side and that although it is a rifle stock it uses a small light carbine buffer and spring are slight irritations. it has served well.
i got it from DSG arms years ago i think for $90
it uses mostly stock ar-15 parts kit stuff , is beefed up in the critical stock areas and around the pins.
as far as i know of it is the only plastic/polymer lower worth having.
the rest of the polymer field ain't hardly worth the FFL transfer fee--
these are going for $190 stripped--yea it a panic price.
i would still pay $190 for one of these before i would shell out $100 for on of those other plastic "break-action lowers" as some have called them.
you could do a lot worse than owning a cav-arms lower--

Passionate freak that I am, I got so into it that I went on and on, quickly realizing I should split my article into two parts. I used part 1 to share my thoughts on Fewt's article. Part 2 will go over the reasons why I choose Linux as my main desktop OS.
Note that this article is by no means an attempt to troll, bash or demean Fewt's opinion, which I very much respect. It's just me sharing mine.
About two months ago I purchased an HP 5320M laptop, a sleek, light and good looking piece of hardware, I have to say. Not surprisingly, it came with Windows 7 pre-installed and, for the first time in years, I decided to keep it so I could potentially play commercial games. I then installed Linux Mint 10 on a different partition. This setup allowed me to experience both Windows 7 and Linux Mint 10 back to back, under the exact same hardware, providing me with a great opportunity to truly check where the Linux desktop stands when compared with the latest and greatest from Microsoft.
If there was one thing that was clear to me before and after reading Fewt's article is that both Linux and Windows 7 make for a great desktop OS. The key element to decide which one has the edge is really determined by the criteria used in comparing them. In other words, as far as I am concerned, it's not so much about which one is best, but about which one best fits the user needs.
Fewt defined his criteria throughout his article: Lack of crashes, consistency over time, richer application catalog and security are some of the areas in which he considers Windows 7 shines. In the following sections I will go over those concepts and discuss them from my perspective.
I haven't had a single crash on neither Linux Mint 10 nor Windows 7 since I started using my HP 5320M. Windows 7 is indeed a solid OS, but so was Windows XP (I have not experienced Vista, though). The superior Linux stability that once made a big difference when compared to older versions of Windows is no longer evident.
In my opinion, as they stand today, both Windows 7 and the Linux desktop are very stable environments, so much so that I don't consider the lack of crashes a deciding factor to choose one over the other.
It is no myth, Windows does indeed slow down over time, certainly many orders of magnitude more than Linux does. To which degree, though, does depend on the kind of use it gets. There are a few factors that play an important role in degrading a Windows machine performance over time:
Disk Fragmentation: Unless Windows 7 users have a Solid State Drive installed on their machines, they will experience varying degrees of disk fragmentation. This file system "weakness", if you will, is more or less evident depending on the kind of data manipulation that goes on in the machine.
Intensive allocation, reallocation and deallocation of data will eventually accentuate disk fragmentation problems, degrading the machine performance over time. Similarly, the less free space available on the drive, the more struggle fragmentation will cause. Creating, copying, moving and deleting files are common activities for the average home user, the result of such mundane actions as keeping large collections of personal pictures and videos, a gigantic music collection, a good share of downloaded movies and/or frantic installation of games and applications. Yes, it doesn't take much to cause disk fragmentation.
Although user activities certainly play a significant part in disk fragmentation, it would not be fair to blame it all on them. One other element that certainly doesn't help is the blatant lack of optimization of resources that plagues the Windows ecosystem. How game and application system requirements got to where they are at right now is a mystery to me, but it's plain ridiculous.
|Photoshop CS5
|Maya 2011
|Blender 2.49.2
|Ardour 2.8.11
|MS Office 2010
|OpenOffice 3.x
The table above compares a few popular Windows applications and their Linux/opensource counterparts, clearly depicting the abysmal difference between them in terms of disk space requirements. Games are no different, often worse: The blockbusters Starcraft II and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm require an incredible 12 and 25GB of disk space respectively!
The truth is the average Windows user sits in an environment where optimization of resources is anything but a priority. At the end of the day, that makes issues such as disk fragmentation or excessive data allocation more of a risk.
Regardless of the cause, disk fragmentation problems are very much a reality in Windows 7, and Microsoft themselves are the best proof. The efforts that they still put into improving their workaround speak for themselves. Indeed, the disk defragmentation tool received several improvements for Windows 7, including automation, scheduling, as well as the ability to defragment more than one volume at a time.
NOTE: Although useless unless the user keeps the machine on long enough for the scheduler to trigger the defragmentation process, automatic defragmentation is a step forward. Those interested in learning more about Windows 7 improvements can check this Microsoft ARTICLE.
Windows Registry gaining weight: The infamous Windows registry certainly suffers when intensive installation/uninstallation tasks take place. Unlike Linux desktop users, who get a wide set of applications as part of their default installation, Windows users often have to install a significant number of applications to become productive. Software from printers, webcams, cameras, your casual iTunes and the like, media players, an office suite, proper Internet browser(s), torrent client(s), social networks client(s) and a good share of games are just a few things most Windows 7 users will end up installing on their machines. If maintained over long periods of time, that installation frenzy would add more and more registry keys to the database, making it grow heavier and more difficult to manage, eventually resulting in slower performance.
Summing up
So there you have it, there are clearly identified areas that may cause performance degradation in Windows 7, and they are not that different from standard day-to-day activities. At the end of the day, lack of performance degradation over time is one of the last things I would have highlighted about Windows 7.
Let me put it this way: Fewt is anything but the average Windows 7 user and his experience is, in my opinion, not one to draw conclusions from. If he's not experiencing performance degradation over time it is not because NTFS fragmentation problems disappeared, nor because the Windows registry magically became a light and optimized database. Most of it comes from an expert following best practices, and in doing so, putting a thick make up layer over some of Windows 7 weak spots.
The fact of the matter is a Linux user can afford a lot more abuse on his machine and still keep reasonable performance over time (I still keep my first Ubuntu 8.10 installation, which went through all kinds of tests as I was learning, and it runs great!!). Disk fragmentation problems exist, but they are nowhere near as severe as they are in Windows. Moreover, because resource optimization is taken seriously, it plays a key part in maintaining a healthy and lean system as time goes by.
Agreed, no use hiding it, Windows has a wider, richer application catalog. However, the advantage is only significant if commercial software is part of the equation, which would make cost implications something to consider. If the comparison is limited to free software, then I would say the difference is not as significant. Yes, some applications are only available for Windows, but the opposite is true as well.
All in all, I guess this one depends on the user's needs. If there is a dependency on applications from the Windows ecosystem, such as having to use MS Office to be fully compatible with other people using it, then Windows 7 would be the natural choice. There may be $$$ implications, though.
Undoubtedly, Windows 7 is a step forward in terms of security, specially when compared to XP and older versions of Windows. Having said so, even with its shiny User Account Control (UAC) feature, it still is very much vulnerable to viruses. A STUDY conducted last year at Sophos laboratories demonstrated that Windows 7 was vulnerable to 8 out of 10 viruses from a random sample.
Now, let's stop here for a moment, because we are talking about Windows 7 security: Is it legitimate to say Windows 7 is secure when it is vulnerable to so many viruses? Is it fair to talk about Windows 7 security taking for granted an Antivirus must be installed and correctly configured? I don't think so.
Anyways, let's assume antivirus software is on and correctly configured. Fewt still shares the key concept towards making Windows 7 safe:
"Since I apply common sense browsing habits and I don't pirate software, I don't really have any security concerns."
Totally agreed, but then again, any Linux desktop user could make a similar statement.
It is important to go back to the concept of average Windows 7 user, for once again, Fewt is not a representative example. The relevant question here is whether that average Windows 7 user should have any security concerns. Let's consider this: two random unexperienced users are not following safe practices, one using Windows 7, the other one a Linux desktop. Is it realistic to say they face the same threats, both in terms of number and criticality?
In summary, security is another area where Windows 7 does not shine. It gets better with the use of external antimalware applications, but then again, that only goes to show its shortcomings.
After the huge Vista fiasco, Windows 7 appeared as a long awaited alternative for many, a desktop OS which went back to reasonable levels of performance, resource consumption and stability.
I have never used Vista, so the frustration many users experienced with it is unknown to me. I stuck with good ol' Windows XP SP3, but maybe as a result of that, I wasn't so surprised with Windows 7. Don't get me wrong, it is prettier, fancier, does include some notable improvements in terms of security and energy management, and it works fine over all, but come on, it's been 8 years since XP was released... 8 years! Is it really that big an improvement or is it just that expectations on Microsoft are so low that people get surprised when they get a product working reasonably well?
To put this matter into perspective, it should be noted that Ubuntu was born in 2004, maintaining an incredible rate of improvement throughout these last 6 years. To think that all of that has been achieved with a tiny fraction of the resources, money and hardware support that went into creating Windows 7 is really something, and should help avoid getting too complacent with the latest Windows incarnation.
Long story short, Windows 7 is a fine desktop OS, but to me personally, it is a "meh" product. Yes, it's got some interesting features and works OK overall, but it is not the improvement over Windows XP I was expecting after so many years. The fact that "Windows 7 doesn't crash" is something worth mentioning today, almost 30 years after the first Windows release, is hilarious to say the least, and speaks volumes about the average quality expectation for Microsoft products.
Anyways, as I am sure you know by now, I choose Linux Mint 10 and the Linux desktop in general over Windows 7, and it certainly is not just because I expected better from the latter. I will be sharing my reasons in the second part of this article.
Until then, thanks for reading!

Also, Krafster - to lend credence to me telling the truth, THG showed as the Krugan, who is the bad character in the Highlander. It would be strange to create a good-bad character battle and not have the one go good and the other go bad after the battle. Just another little piece of evidence.

Hey guys, I'm working on modding an Eppisode two Rubies Jango Fett helmet, and it's made of some crazy hard palstic (looks like it was made with injection molding because I had to snap two peices together.)
Anyway, my real question is, does anyone know where I can get my hands on a good visor for my helmet? I know I need a Green tint #5 wlding shield, but I cant find anywhere that sells them locally, does anyone have a link to an online store or something that sells them?
I'm sure you've all be asked this at least 400 times, so if there is another thread with an answer please link it to me.

Questions You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Ask Your Auto Repair Tech
March 17th, 2016
Often, drivers are mystified by how their cars actually work. It's to be expected. Even an older car is a complex machine with many sub-assemblies that all work together to move it down the road.
As a result, drivers tend to be a little intimidated by auto repair and often tend to not inform themselves by asking the necessary questions of a tech or a garage. Too often, that ends up being a big mistake. Here are some examples of the kinds of things you really should know before any auto repair work starts:
- Does your shop work on any kind of vehicle? Of course, most shops can service a product from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and the other leading makes. Some makes, however, require a lot more training and experience, o ...[more]

Mark Auto Repair off Your Back-To-School To-Do List
December 23rd, 2015
The kids are going to be headed off to school again before you know it, and then of course, the holidays will start coming one after another between Labor Day and the end of the year. There's a lot to stay on top of, and auto repair should be one less thing for you, the grownup, to worry about as the year marches on. Here are some suggestions for things you might want to take care of before it all starts rolling again:
• Oil Change – Can't remember the date of your last oil change? Then it might be a good idea to go ahead and set up another one. Dirty motor oil is so loaded with carbon and other contaminants it will begin to form sludgy carbon deposits on internal engine assemblies and moving parts.

Yankees, Pirates still talking A.J.
The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to talk with the New York Yankees about right-hander A.J. Burnett, with most signs pointing to a trade. But as of early Sunday, the two sides were still haggling about the money and players in the deal.
The Yankees likely will pay $19 million to $23 million of the $33 million remaining on Burnett's contract and receive multiple minor leaguers in return, according to one source with knowledge of the discussions. Those minor leaguers would not be players on the Pirates' 40-man roster, the source said.
For clubs that trade high-salaried players such as Burnett, the more money they include, the better the quality of the players they receive. The sliding scale makes the discussions fluid and capable of changing at any time.
The Pirates are one of four clubs pursuing Burnett, but one of those clubs is on his 10-team no-trade list, sources say. The Yankees are exploring all possibilities, as are the Pirates. But the Yankees view the Pirates as the partner that "makes the most sense" for Burnett, a source said.
Burnett, 35, went 11-11 with a 5.15 ERA last season, but his strikeout rate of 8.18 per nine innings would have been the best in the Pirates' rotation. He also had the 13th-best groundball rate in the American League – and in a typical Burnett paradox, the second-highest home-run rate.
