Chocolate-Covered Almonds
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I have one last almond confection to share with you. I'm nearing the end of the over-sized bag of almonds I purchased at a local warehouse store, and while I've gone a bit overboard with this recipe, I keep telling myself that it's O.K. because almonds are a superfood. Due to their health properties, they have become very popular, and, as long as you don't eat too many of them, they are actually good for you. They are high in protein and they are very filling. While they are high in fat, it is a healthy monounsaturated fat that has been proven to help stave off heart disease and diabetes. They are also high in antioxidants, especially if you leave their skins on. That's the good news. The bad news is I've covered them in sugar, chocolate and cocoa to make them more festive for Valentine's Day. That probably mitigates all the good stuff I've just walked you through. Almonds prepared in this way are delicious, but they are not easy or fuss free to make. This is a three step process, so you'll need time to make and clean up after them. You will, however, be really pleased with the end result. This is a delicious confection whose parentage is questionable. Greeks and Italians both claim bragging rights. Whatever their origin, I think you'll love this Mediterranean treat. Here's the recipe.
Chocolate-Covered Almonds...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of D. Schubring via the Chicago Sun-Times
1 pound raw almonds with skins
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups confectioners' sugar or 1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1) Combine almonds, water and sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Adjust heat to keep mixture just at a boil. Stir constantly until syrup is reduced to sand, about 20 minutes. All of the water will evaporate and the sugar "sand" will adhere to the almonds. Remove pan from heat.
2) Spread sugared almonds on a baking sheet and place in refrigerator or freezer until cool.
3) Place chocolate in top of a double boiler and gently melt until chocolate reaches 88 degrees.
4) When almonds are cool, break off excess clumps of sugar and place half of them in a large mixing bowl. Pour half of melted chocolate over them, and stir until almonds are fully coated, separated and have cooled. Place chocolate-covered almonds on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and set aside. Repeat with remaining almonds.
5) Place one batch of almonds in a medium bowl. Top with half of cocoa or powdered sugar. Toss to coat and separate almonds. When completely covered transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining almonds. Store in an airtight container or freezer if not to be served immediately.

NL taxpayers group submits petition for another budget referendum
New London — The spokesman for Looking Out for Taxpayers delivered petitions to City Hall Thursday morning with more than 850 signatures calling for a second referendum on the budget.
William Cornish walked into the City Clerk's office, where Assistant City Clerk Dawn Currier time-stamped the documents. At least 483 signatures, or 10 percent of the those who voted in the last municipal election, were needed for the petition to be valid.
Some residents are upset at the $41.3 million 2012-13 budget, which represents a 5.1 percent tax increase. But some are also protesting the administration's attempt to quash a second referendum.
Avner Gregory, who joined Cornish in delivering the petition, said residents were "very earnest and ready to sign" the petition.
"There are citizens that do have a backbone, and this is the proof," he said. He said citizens as a form of protest could choose not to pay their taxes if the city continues to not listen.
Cornish said the LOT group wants the city to reduce the budget and lower the tax rate. The city can use an $800,000 reserve for uncollected taxes to lower the budget, he said.
"Our contention is, collect the taxes," he said. "You don't need a reserve fund if you collect the taxes."
Cornish also said he wanted to ensure the rights of citizens are respected.
"We are free to petition our government," he said.
Last month, voters defeated a $42.3 million budget, which represented a 7.5 percent tax increase. The council approved a new budget after cutting about $1 million.
Before anyone had organized for a new petition, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio announced that a second referendum would be illegal. He originally told City Clerk Nathan Caron not to accept petitions but later amended his directive to say that while petitions can be accepted, the clerk's office should not spend any resources to certify the signatures.
Finizio said the city cannot have a second budget referendum because it has expended more than 25 percent of its yearly budgetary allocation.
Any further direction on action or inaction resulting from the petitions will come from City Law Director Jeffrey Londregan, Currier said Thursday.
Council President Michael Passero has said voters have the right to petition. Under the city charter, once the council receives a petition from the clerk with the required number of certified signatures, it has the option of lowering the budget or bringing it to a citywide vote. The clerk has an obligation to review and validate any petitions, he said, citing a 2007 lawsuit filed against the city.
The next City Council meeting is Nov. 5.
The Committee of Petitioners for the petition included Gregory, Susan Plunkett, Dwight Gross, Andrew R. Lockwood Sr. and Barbara Hample.

The Kevin Costner led "Draft Day" opens this weekend, and while the film isn't great, it does have its good points. Here are three reasons to see the film, eventually.
RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL - The NFL Draft is still a few weeks away, but fans of the NFL can get a little taste by checking out "Draft Day." Summit Entertainment's "Draft Day" is about just that, draft day. The film follows an NFL general manager, Kevin Costner, and what his draft day is like. The movie has its flaws, believe me it does, but it also has some redeeming qualities. Here are three reasons it's worth your time - eventually. Intriguing The story was silly and downright formulaic at times, but it still managed to keep my attention the whole time. There are a few forced elements in the story that will have you rolling your eyes all the way to the back of your neck, but the football dealings will actually keep you intrigued. Costner does a fine job as does Jennifer Garner, but the most interesting parts of the film happen between Costner and whoever he happens to be wheeling and dealing with on screen. It will appeal to NFL fans Know now that this is not a football movie that involves a lot of football. There are next to zero football sequences in the film, but it will still appeal to NFL fans. The movie gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of a football franchise, even if they're fabricated inner workings, but they're still interesting. "Draft Day" manages to tickle your football bone just enough to get you caring about the characters and believe it or not the Cleveland Browns. I know, it's shocking. NFL fans will recognize some names and even some faces, Arian Foster makes an appearance, as does pretty much every football analyst at ESPN. It's a sports fan's movie as long as the sports fan likes business deals and not just game-time action. It's a poor man's "Moneyball" "Draft Day" has aspirations to be the NFL's version of "Moneyball," but it falls well short of that much superior film. With that said, however, "Draft Day" makes a solid effort and can easily be considered the poor man's version of "Moneyball," which really isn't a terrible position to be in. "Draft Day" is dialogue heavy and doesn't live up to the Aaron Sorkin script of "Moneyball," but it's still intriguing enough that audiences will want to see it out to the end just to see how it plays out. While I am giving you reasons to see "Draft Day," know that I'm not telling you to run out and spend half a week's wages on it. Wait until it hits video and spend a buck to check it out. It's well worth your buck. "Draft Day" is rated PG-13 and contains some harsh language. The film is currently rated at a 14+ age appropriateness level on OK.com, but I would give it a 15+ for the language and thematic elements.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D161474%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

This quilt was custom by Jackie in CT. She quilted the swirls in the circle centers and meander around the yo-yo's. The raw edges of the circles were NOT quilted to allow them to fray a bit for added dimension.

Escaped York inmates captured in Hartford Sunday night
Two inmates who escaped from the York Correctional Institution in East Lyme Saturday night were caught Sunday night in Hartford.
State police said that shortly after 8 p.m. they learned the pair were at a location in Hartford and took Melissa Riley, 30, of Willimantic, and Jessica Rivera, 34, of Waterbury, into custody without incident. They were brought to the Troop E state police barracks in Montville to be processed and were charged with escape from custody. They are are now being held on $500,000 bond each at the York Correctional Institution and will appear in New London Superior Court.
On Saturday, correctional staff noticed that Riley and Rivera were not accounted for as a group of inmates who live at Davis Hall were returning from the gymnasium about 8:15 p.m., according to a statement issued Sunday by the correction department.
The prison was placed in lockdown and an emergency count was ordered, which identified the two missing prisoners. State troopers, including K-9 teams, began searching the area.
Riley entered the prison on July 18, 2011, and is serving a three-year, three-month sentence for possession of narcotics.
Rivera last returned to prison on July 12, 2011, to serve four years for conspiracy. A correction department spokesman said she had escaped from a community-release program in 2006, and police said she previously has been convicted on robbery and burglary charges.
Andrius Banevicius, correction department spokesman, said Rivera had been caught and returned to custody less than two weeks after the 2006 escape.
Inmates initially are closely monitored after escaping from custody, but can earn credits for good behavior that eventually can lead to being placed in a minimum-security environment. Both women had been attending a substance-abuse treatment center, Banevicius said, and likely would have been released from jail within two years. A conviction on an escape charge would likely add to the women's sentence.
State police said the two women were housed on the minimum-security side of the facility, which is not totally secured by a fence.
All area police departments were notified of the escape. Emergency notification to local and state officials and residents was made late Saturday night via the State's CT Alert system.
East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica said Sunday that the prison warden's office contacted him about an hour and a half after correctional staff noticed the women were missing, saying they were in the process of confirming there had been an escape.
Formica then notified Sgt. Mike Macek of East Lyme police, and the escape was verified about a half-hour later. Macek, Administrative Sgt. Joseph San Juan and Richard Morris, East Lyme's public safety officer and emergency management director, had reported to the prison by this time.
The first selectman also called state Rep. Ed Jutila, D-East Lyme and Salem, who is a member of the state house's Public Safety and Security Committee.
Formica said there hasn't been an escape from the prison in more than a dozen years.
The original system in place to alert residents to a prison escape used a siren, followed by a loudspeaker announcement. Formica said he chose not to use this system and instead notified local newspapers and TV stations, put an alert on the town's Facebook page, and used a reverse 911 call to inform every resident in East Lyme.
Formica also called officials from the surrounding towns of Old Lyme, Salem, Montville and Waterford, who informed their police departments.
Formica said because one of the escapees has a record of escaping from prison once before, he thinks "that they would be given a little more attention than the average inmate."
He added that he has "complete faith" in the warden at the correctional facility and in the department of correction.
"The department of corrections does an exemplary job managing facilities throughout the sate under very difficult circumstances," he said. "These people were in a low- to medium-security situation, and you know, if that's the opinion of those people that handle these folks every day, it's not up to me to judge that. I would imagine, given this situation, they would be in the process of rethinking and relooking at some procedures there."

Lexus is introducing their latest entry-level hybrid to its portfolio, The Lexus CT 200h is due to debut for the European market end of this year.
Toyota is continuing its quest to spread hybrid technology throughout its entire lineup of vehicles and the next stop for the hybrid train is the all-new Lexus CT 200h. The CT 200h is the production version of the Lexus LF-Ch concept which debuted last year. Although the CT 200h is toned down quite a bit from its concept form, it still shares much of the design philosophy first seen five months ago.
Unlike its HS 250h sibling, the CT 200h forgoes the largish 2.4-liter inline-4 engine and instead uses a 1.8-liter VVT-i four-cylinder engine. As is the case with Toyota's other hybrid vehicles, the gasoline engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), electric motor, and a NiMH battery pack.
Toyota isn't discussing official fuel economy numbers for the CT 200h, but it does say that the vehicle can travel a measly 1.2 miles and at up to 28 mph on battery power alone.
Assuming that the 1.8-liter VVT-i engine used the CT 200h is the same 2ZR-FXE motor used in the Prius, expect to see stellar fuel economy for the vehicle. The Prius is pegged at 50 mpg combined, but every aspect of the vehicle from its tires to its body shape to its underbody is designed to slice through the wind with the utmost efficiency. The CT 200h has a more conventional shape, but we'd be surprised if it dips below 40 mpg combined using the same powertrain as the Prius.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. -- Is it an extreme case of helicopter parenting or a smart move to keep kids safe?
That's what parents are asking after hearing about a Long Island middle school's decision to ban most balls during recess and also require supervision of tag, even cartwheels, due to safety concerns.
No longer allowed at the Weber Middle School in Port Washington, New York: footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, lacrosse balls and any other hard balls that could injure a child. Also off limits: rough games of tag and cartwheels unless an adult supervisor is on hand.
"We want to make sure our children have fun but are also protected," Dr. Kathleen Maloney, superintendent of Port Washington Schools, said in a local television interview, noting how playground injuries can "unintentionally" become very serious.
The school district, in a press release, said that due to construction going on at the school, there is "limited space" for the children to play during their 20-minute recess period. "With children in close proximity to each other, it is not safe for them to be engaged in unstructured play with hardballs," said the district.
It's not clear when the construction project will come to an end at the school and if kids will be able to resume normal ball-playing after it wraps up. A call to the superintendent's office for confirmation has not yet been returned.
Soft nerf balls will be provided during recess, and kids can play with hardballs during gym and intramural athletics.
Not suprisingly, when we asked what people thought about this school's policy on CNN's Facebook page, we got a ton of comments, the majority outraged by the school's decision.
"There are rational precautions (helmets for bikers) and then there is ridiculous. This is over the top," said Erika Hathaway Stockton on Facebook.
"This isn't smart. It's actually counter-productive," said Donna Daniels in an e-mail to CNN. "It saddens me to think that children no longer experience the joy of kickball, tag, dodgeball and simple outdoor games I remember so fondly when I reflect on my childhood. Our kids don't experience physical activity unless it involves downloading an app."
"Without opportunities to learn how to navigate space with their bodies, and to negotiate rules, risks, and experimentation of cooperative play, how are children going to ever be able to handle themselves in any society as adults?" said Alex Martin, an associate director at a Manhattan nursery school.
On the other side, there were some people who thought the school's actions were warranted.
"Freedom is great until the parents sue the school district," said Tyllor Parker on Facebook.
"I don't think kids should have their fun pastimes discontinued, but head trauma can be serious," said Marilyn Decker on Facebook. "Helmets can lessen that. Even pro sports issues protection. Nothing wrong with that. They are now much more enlightened about wearing helmets while skateboarding and riding a bike, as well."

Apparently I use a lot more space on my computer than I thought I would (pretty sure it's because I'm using SkyDrive and sharing my wife's files). Anyway, I have a harddrive that is plenty big, but it is partitioned to have one part for backup. I'd like to either undo that to get the space back or make that partition smaller. Since all of my files are on SkyDrive I don't really have a need to recover any files from my computer, save maybe for just being able to restore the system but even then I'd probably be just as fine buying a new computer (I go cheap and disposable).
Anybody want to walk a non-techno-geek through that process?

Court of honor
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Sample Court of Honor script
There are many sample scripts that are specificly for Eagle Courts of Honor but few for regular Courts of Honor. Here is one sample of a basic Court of Honor script. It is designed to be simple with an expected time of 40 minutes. By adding in the optional candle-lighting portions, the time is extended about 10 minutes. It also has an option for a guest speaker that adds however much time alloted to the guest.
Advancement Policies
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 30)
Each time a Scout advances in rank, he should be recognized on two occasions. The first should occur as soon as possible after a Scout has been approved by a board of review and an Advancement Report has been filed with the council office - preferably at the next unit meeting. This ceremony should be dignified but simple, involving not much more than presenting the Scout with his new badge of rank.
The second occasion is a court of honor, a public ceremony to recognize Scouts for successful achievement and to describe the importance of the program. The main purposes of the court of honor are to furnish formal recognition for achievement and to provide incentive for other Scouts to advance.
Formal courts of honor should be conducted at least four times a year. All Scouts who have advanced since the previous court of honor are honored. Their parents and friends should be invited to attend the ceremony.
Badges of rank, merit badges, and Eagle Palms are restricted items. These items may not be sold or distributed unless the Advancement Report, No. 34403B, has been properly filled out and has been submitted to the local council office. To do otherwise will jeopardize individual youth members' record of achievement.
When a Scout has earned the Eagle Scout rank, he deserves a special recognition. The Eagle Scout ceremony may not be conducted until the action of the board of review has been approved by the national Eagle Scout Service.
Procedures for conducting courts of honor and special First Class and Eagle Scout courts of honor are described in Troop Program Resources, No 33588A.
Troop Advancement Goals
Quarterly Courts of Honor
Monlthy Boards of Review
First Class-First Year
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 25)
"It is important that the troop committee and the Scoutmaster set an advancement goal for the year. A basic goal should be for each Scout to advance a rank during the year. New Scouts should earn their First Class rank during their first year in the troop. By doing so, these new Scouts become net contributors to the troop and are able to care for themselves and others. When reviewed monthly by the troop committee, Scouts will recognize the importance of Scout advancement. Troops should conduct boards of review for Scouts who are not advancing. A minimum of four formal courts of honor a year (one every three months) should be held to formally recognize the Scouts in the troop."
"Presentation of merit badges and rank badges should not await these courts of honor; awards and badges should be presented at the next meeting after they have been earned. Scouts are recognized again at a formal court of honor."

Last night the Sac city council voted to fund negotiations and exploratory type stuff regarding an arena deal with KJ's still unnamed whales (expect them to be named tomorrow). The Sac City Manager said they'd like to have a preliminary term sheet presented to the city council in April. Remember when McGinn, Constantine, and Hansen announced they had negotiated a deal before it even went through the council process? That's where Sac wants to be, and their deal is going to suck money from the general fund by using a very questionable funding mechanism through leasing their public parking to private companies for decades. Add to that there is now a second investment group with a too good to be true plan that is only going to serve as ammunition for the anti-pubic subsidy crowd and cause a ton of confusion for Sac.
In other words, see y'all at the Key this fall.

"Aye thu blady naansense", I screeched into the unsuspecting ear of The Eyer, when he suggested we meet up at Lalbagh. "My fother will drive so far or what?" I said, picturing my journey-across-the-seven-seas for our much awaited meetup.
"Shut up now. Basavangudi is central, its you Malleswaram types that are in the burbs." He said. Besides it's walking distance for me", he added helpfully.
"Ohoho, very close to you means what I must do. Trans Siberian Railway and all I cant catch and come to see your face ok."
"Dude you didn't volunteer to organize this, so thatsaaal means thatsaal, jhungachukka. You must only come to Lalbagh and meet us, I do not know anything. Besides, it's your workplace anyway."
"Ayeeeeee, how very dare you call me a gardener I say?"
"Err, because you are one?"
"Oh correct no? Ok, see you in half an hour."
Unwittingly caught in the crossfire was our celebrity guest - Krish Attack, who magnanimously postponed his flight back to Chennai to hang out with us, after smashing his way through a maha funda presentation at IIMB. After some frantic calls to ascertain his whereabouts, we finally located him, suitcase in hand, appropriately clad for the
After a couple of "mad or what?" looks directed at the Eyer and I, who were busy clawing each other's eyes out deciding which Lalbagh gate to enter, he cleared his throat. The Eyer and I stopped in mid claw and looked back at his rapidly reddening complexion.
"Err, I have seen Lalbagh before you know", he ventured timidly, peeling off 7 layers of winterwear. "My parents took me there as a kid."
"So, err.. what shall we do then?" said the Eyer, dismayed at his grandiose plans of a botanical tour of the gardens being dashed to the ground.
"Eh, lets eat", we all said in chorus, and whirled the car around to our first stop in the gastronomic tour of "the place where the other people live" – Basavangudi.
First stop: New Modran Hotel. "Do not put leg on Chair. Do not wash hand in plate. Do not yodel. Do not sing mainstream Telugu film songs while chewing", read the sign above where we sat, as we waited for the famous modran hotel thatte-idli to arrive. Meh. It was salright. Sorry Eyerboss. Veena shtore rules. Aaa nexxxxxt…
My smirkiness died a quick death however, when we stopped at our next venue: Shettr angdi (appojite New Modran Hotel). After making us chomp through an interestingish tamota-slice, The Eyer pulled out his trump card. He whispered into the Jabba-the-hut-like proprietor's ear. Jabba guffawed, gave us the up-and-down, rubbed his palms together and went to work: on Shettrangdi Special Andre Speshhhhhal Butter Gulkand.
"Whaaaaaaaaaat?" I hear you loyal Bhagyalakshmi Butter Gulkand loving Malleswaramites scream? "How very dare you, Bikerdude", you sob? Well sadly, Shettru has only one word to say to you. "Mwah."
First came a gob of butter. Then a slather of gulkand. Then the mixed fruitu. Familiar enough, no? But no. That's where Bhagyalakshmi stops and Shettrangdi starts. On went the murabba (murabba??? Yes) followed by nuts, candy, more fuits, chaat masala (No! Yeah? Yeah.) and finally a dollop of butterskaachu icecream!
Enoughaaaa? No. On the top of the butterskaachu went more chopped nuts and a glazed cherry. Whaaaaaataylovely!!!! Jabba handed it over with a flourish and 12 seconds later, fini! What a beauty I say! Sorry ma Bhagyaakshmi, you lose. Ok? ok.
Next stoppu: Subbamma angadi. While Attack stocked up on 564 packets of kodbale and chakli, I settled for the mind numbingly spicy masala vadey. Good stuff. Well done Subbamma, wherever you are, smiling down upon us with a plate of dynamite-nippat in hand.
With about minus 10 minutes to spare for Attack saar to catch his flight, we managed to teleport him straight into a vayu vajra, from where with his superior Web 2.0 skills he managed to re-program the check-in-lady's brain to jettison him through an open cockpit window into the flight as it was taxiing off to Chennai.
So- um yeah. Basavangudi. Hmm. Some possibilities there I agree :)
Many thanks to Eyer saar for smiling stoically through all manner of abuses hurled. I am suitably impressed ok? ok.
Attack saar, kindly come nesht time I say. I will feed CTR benne masale and veena idly and you only decide.
And as for you Bhagyalakshmi, I have only one word to say:
PS: Aa yes, I'm back, hello. (famous last words)

Paying for Home Health and Hospice CarePaying For Home Health And Hospice Care - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
Home health care services may be paid for directly by the patient or family, through private insurance coverage, or through other sources. Many hospice care programs are provided to the patient regardless of the patient's ability to pay, although most costs for hospice are covered by Medicare. Always check with your insurance provider regarding terms of coverage. The following are sources of payment for home health care services:
Self-pay. If a patient does not meet the requirements of third-party payers, he or she may have to pay for home health care services. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, only 10 percent of patients use this form of payment.
Public third-party payers:
Medicare. If you are older than 65, you are probably eligible for the federal Medicare program. Patients who are unable to be active outside the home, under a doctor's care and need medically necessary skilled nursing or therapy may be eligible for Medicare coverage. A doctor must authorize and at different times review the home health care plan of the person. Home health care services covered by Medicare must be part-time. It must also be provided by a Medicare-certified home health agency, or an agency that meets the minimum federal requirements of care and cost. Hospice care coverage by Medicare requires certification from a doctor that the patient is terminally ill.
Medicaid. Medicaid is a joint federal-state medical assistance program for low-income individuals. Eligibility differs from state to state. However, all states are required to provide home health care coverage to people who:
Receive federally assisted income maintenance payments, such as Social Security income or Aid to Family with Dependent Children.
Are determined to be "categorically needy." Categorically needy individuals are those people who are aged, blind, and are disabled with incomes too high to qualify for coverage below the federal poverty level. Under the federal Medicaid rules, coverage of home health programs must include services such as part-time nursing, health care agency services, and medical supplies and equipment. Some states may provide audiology, physical, occupational, speech therapies, and medical social services as well. Medicaid hospice care coverage is essentially the same as Medicare.
Older Americans Act. The Older Americans Act funds state and local social service programs for frail and disabled older individuals to continue independent living in their communities. Coverage may include home health care agencies, personal care, assistance with chores, meals, and shopping. Individuals must be age 60 or older.
Veterans Administration. Home health care is provided for veterans through the Veterans Administration if the individual is at least 50 percent disabled as a result of a service-related injury or illness. Authorization from a doctor is needed. Services must be provided through the Veterans Administration's hospital-based home care units. Nonmedical home health care services are usually not covered under this provision.
Social Services Block Grant Programs. On a yearly basis, federal social services block grants are awarded to the states for service needs. Some of these funds are provided to home health care agencies and homemaker or chore worker services. Individuals may contact their state health departments and offices on aging for additional information.
Community Organizations. Some community organizations may pay for all or part of the necessary home health or hospice care services, depending on a patient's eligibility and financial circumstances.
Private third-party payers:
Commercial Health Insurance. Most commercial health insurance policies typically cover some home health care services for immediate or acute medical needs. However, coverage for long-term services varies from plan to plan. Sometimes commercial insurance companies will pay for skilled professional home health care under a cost-sharing plan.
CHAMPUS (TRICARE Standard). CHAMPUS, or the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services, covers certain home health care in a cost-sharing plan to dependents of active military personnel and military retirees. CHAMPUS also provides a hospice benefit to its terminally ill beneficiaries. This benefit may provide nursing, social work services, therapies, personal care, medications, and medical supplies and equipment.
Workers' Compensation. If a person requires medical home health care services as a result of an injury on the job, he or she may be eligible for coverage through a workers' compensation plan.
Managed Care Organizations. Managed care organizations are group health plans whose coverage may include home health and hospice care services. Managed care organizations contracting with Medicare must provide the full range of Medicare-covered home health and hospice services that are available. These organizations must be preapproved.

What's a Development Box?
We are currently buying some development boxes. These boxes are bought so some guys can work on them without having to look how to keep the services running why they initially bought the box. All boxes are owned by the community...this means that if georg/jonli447/linuxnotincluded think they absolutely have no time in the near future the boxes can be passed to another developer.
All this is based on confidence.

The Polish State Archives (PSA) and Jewish Records Indexing – Poland (JRI-Poland) www.jri-poland.org have entered into a new multi-year agreement to expand access to Jewish records in that country.
The signing of this agreement on Feb. 15 launches a new phase in the existing co-operation between the not-for-profit JRI-Poland and the archives, said PSA general director Wladyslaw Stepniak.
JRI-Poland's searchable online database of records from more than 550 towns is the starting point in Jewish family history research in Poland, said its founder and executive director Stanley Diamond of Montreal.
"The database of records going back to the late 18th century belies the misleading notion that Jewish records of Poland were destroyed in World War II," he said.
The agreement will enable JRI-Poland, which is incorporated in Bethesda, Md., to rapidly expand its current online database of indices to five million records, the largest database of Jewish vital records online.
The PSA announced that it is beginning a massive effort to digitize all vital records in its more than 30 regional archives. These will be available – free – on its National Digital Archives and Regional Archive websites.
JRI-Poland will be linking its search results to the PSA's digital images of the Jewish records. As a result of the massive indexing undertaken by JRI-Poland since it founding in 1995, the indices to Jewish records will form the bulk of all digital image linking on the PSA website.
"Thus, for the first time a non-profit organization will be linking its search results to vital record images provided by a European archives," Diamond said.
In addition, JRI-Poland and the PSA will institute a new order processing system to simplify the process of obtaining copies of archival records.
JRI-Poland will have the administrative responsibility of processing orders for records from branches of the PSA.
Besides being a boon to amateur genealogists, the JRI-Poland database and volunteers have been instrumental in reuniting families separated by the Holocaust and helping hidden children find their identities, Diamond said.
"JRI-Poland has also been recognized by the medical and scientific communities for the potential assistance to Ashkenazi families trying to trace medical histories, particularly those at increased risk for hereditary conditions and diseases," he said.
JRI – Poland may help those who may need answers to medical-related questions or require bone marrow or other transplants. Because of this, JRI-Poland has received commendations from the Gift of Life Foundation and the National Marrow Donor Program.
JRI-Poland is run by a global board, aided by hundreds of volunteers and serving thousands of researchers, funded by groups and private genealogists around the world.
JRI-Poland board member Jeff Cymbler, a New York lawyer and son of a Holocaust survivor, lauded Diamond's dedication. "[His] tireless and selfless efforts…in my view, exceed any contribution that any one person has ever made on behalf of the Jewish genealogical community. In addition, the work that [he has] nurtured on a daily basis for these many years on behalf of Holocaust remembrance and documentation can only be counted second to the work of Yad Vashem in compiling the millions of pages of testimony…[He] has made it possible for thousands and will make it possible for thousands to come to corroborate and supplement the testimonies given by survivors and their progeny."

Is it Global warming or just Earth Life cycles?
Posted 11 September 2012 - 06:26 AM
What are your thoughts.
Posted 11 September 2012 - 09:37 AM
Hello everyone. As we keep on hearing about Earths Global warming or now Climate change due to our increasing output of Carbon Dioxide, but the truth is can Humans really make that much damage to a planet that has lived for billions of years so quickly. It seems Earth goes through its cycles of being hot. Remember when the dinosaurs were here, the planet was much hotter than it is now. I think we all know Humans played no part in that. Now don't get me wrong as I know we play a part in heating up the planet because of the Carbon Dioxide but on what kind of scale? Now it just seems to me that we as Humans know very little about the history of the planet we're living on because we're so young compared to the planet, and it just seems that our planet goes through cycles of hot and cold and theres nothing us Humans can do about it on such a large scale.
What are your thoughts.
Thoughts are ok to a point, but facts are what matter.
We know a lot about the history of our planet. There's more than enough information out there to read indicating human activity is a major influence affecting the climate. Below is just a very small sample.
