ASPE FMAP 2013 REPORT
Federal Financial Participation in State Assistance Expenditures; Federal Matching Shares for Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and Aid to Needy Aged, Blind, or Disabled Persons for October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHHS
ACTION: Notice
BILLING CODE: 4150-05
SUMMARY: The Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP), Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (eFMAP), and disaster-recovery FMAP adjustments for Fiscal Year 2013 have been calculated pursuant to the Social Security Act (the Act). These percentages will be effective from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013. This notice announces the calculated FMAP and eFMAP rates that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will use in determining the amount of federal matching for state medical assistance (Medicaid) and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) expenditures, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Contingency Funds, Child Support Enforcement collections, Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund, Foster Care Title IV-E Maintenance payments, and Adoption Assistance payments. Table 1 gives figures for each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This notice also announces the disaster-recovery FMAP adjustments for qualifying states for FY 2013 that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will use in determining the amount of federal matching for state medical assistance (Medicaid) and title IV–E Foster Care, Adoption Assistance and Guardianship Assistance programs.
Programs under title XIX of the Act exist in each jurisdiction. Programs under titles I, X, and XIV operate only in Guam and the Virgin Islands, while a program under title XVI (Aid to the Aged, Blind, or Disabled) operates only in Puerto Rico. The percentages in this notice apply to state expenditures for most medical assistance and child health assistance, and assistance payments for certain social services. The Act provides separately for federal matching of administrative costs.
Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of the Social Security Act (the Act) require the Secretary of HHS to publish the FMAP rates each year. The Secretary calculates the percentages, using formulas in sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8, and calculations by the Department of Commerce of average income per person in each state and for the Nation as a whole. The percentages must fall within the upper and lower limits given in section 1905(b) of the Act. The percentages for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands are specified in statute, and thus are not based on the statutory formula that determines the percentages for the 50 States.
Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies the formula for calculating FMAPs as follows:
""Federal medical assistance percentage" for any State shall be 100 per centum less the State percentage; and the State percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 45 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capita income of the continental United States (including Alaska) and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal medical assistance percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or more than 83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical assistance percentage for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa shall be 55 percent…".
Section 4725(b) of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 amended section 1905(b) to provide that the FMAP for the District of Columbia for purposes of titles XIX and XXI shall be 70 percent. For the District of Columbia, we note under Table 1 that other rates may apply in certain other programs. In addition, we note the rate that applies for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in certain other programs pursuant to section 1118 of the Act.
Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies the formula for calculating the eFMAP rates as follows:
The "enhanced FMAP", for a State for a fiscal year, is equal to the Federal medical assistance percentage (as defined in the first sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State increased by a number of percentage points equal to 30 percent of the number of percentage points by which (1) such Federal medical assistance percentage for the State, is less than (2) 100 percent; but in no case shall the enhanced FMAP for a state exceed 85 percent.
The eFMAP rates are used in the Children's Health Insurance Program under Title XXI, and in the Medicaid program for certain children for expenditures for medical assistance described in sections 1905(u)(2) and 1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no specific requirement to publish the eFMAP rates. We include them in this notice for the convenience of the States.
Section 2006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 ("Affordable Care Act") amended section 1905 of the Social Security Act by adding section (aa) to provide for an increase in the FMAP rate for qualifying States for Medicaid and title IV-E Foster Care, Adoption Assistance and Guardianship Assistance programs. The purpose of the increase to the FMAP rate is to provide increased Federal financial participation for qualifying States that have experienced a major, statewide disaster.
The methodology for calculating and publishing disaster-recovery adjustments to fiscal year FMAP rates was published on December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80501).
Section 2006 defines a ''disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment state'' as one of the 50 states or District of Columbia for which, at any time during the preceding 7 fiscal years, the President has declared a major disaster under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act under which every county or parish in the state is eligible for individual and public assistance or public assistance from the federal government, and for which the FMAP as determined for the fiscal year is less than the FMAP (for the first year of assistance) or the disaster-adjusted recovery FMAP (for each subsequent year of assistance) for the preceding fiscal year by at least three percentage points.
Qualifying States receive an adjustment to their annual FMAP rate based on a formula specified in statute. In the first year a State qualifies, this increase is applied to the FMAP as determined for the fiscal year. In the second or any succeeding fiscal year a State qualifies, the adjustment is applied to the prior year's disaster-adjusted recovery FMAP. This results in increased, rather than phased down, financial assistance to qualifying States each year, and allows States to continue to qualify for assistance after their underlying FMAP has stabilized. The resulting assistance will be higher than initially projected.
Based on the criteria for a qualifying state, only two States meet the requirement that the FMAP as determined for FY 2013 is less than the previous year FMAP by at least three percentage points. Of the two States, only one, Louisiana, has had a Presidential disaster declaration that applies to all counties and parishes within the state in the preceding 7 fiscal years. Hurricane Gustav was declared a state-wide disaster in Louisiana on September 2, 2008. Therefore, Louisiana is the only state that qualifies for a disaster-recovery adjustment to their FY2013 FMAP rate. The disaster-recovery adjusted FMAP rate for Louisiana for FY2013 is provided in Table 2.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The percentages listed will be effective for each of the four quarter‑year periods beginning October 1, 2012 and ending September 30, 2013.

Blue Baldwin takes no horse crap from anybody. Well, actually, that's not entirely true. She does take horse crap. Piles of it. The real kind that is––not the metaphorical one. It kind of goes with the job description when you run a large animal rescue. What she does not take, however, is crap from an entitled movie star who needs to reform his rotten image.
Unfortunately, the farm she manages is in trouble and if she doesn't raise the cash to save it she'll be homeless along with the precious animals who depend on her. So she'll grin and bear the King of Hollywood Screw Ups, and the assistant, and the overprotective brother he brings along. I mean, she takes care of large animals for a living. Isn't that basically the same thing?
Older than his brother — maybe thirty-six or seven — and pushy, with a touch of serial killer sprinkled in for funsies."
"You had me at serial killer."
– Convo between Jess & Blue
The door to the Mustang Cobra swings open and Shane Hughes slides out of the driver's seat like he's selling men's deodorant to testosterone-deficient teenage boys, in slow motion and exuding more confidence than any one man should ever possess.
I declare that I'm on a man-fast and almost immediately, the universe, in it's infinite wisdom, delivers this temptation to my doorstep.
– Blue
Not my first read by the author and I do love her writing style. This was a bittersweet review for me because she wrote one of THE BEST HEROINES I have read in a very long time! My issue was with the hero, he had and was all of the grumpy, alpha, broody type but the end of actions were just to me not excusable, too many open variables for me to forgive the way the heroine did and it made me hate him because it was a repeated offend. That said, he is why the rating is at where it is. Very bittersweet because I love this author and I was so excited *sigh* but again this is all person preferences of course.
Heroine is EVERYTHING, I want to be her when I grow up because not only was she beautiful, smart, witty, sarcastic and brave…she had the biggest and most honest heart. Wore her heart on the sleeve even after what she went through. She run and works at a pet sanctuary for injured animals, wild animals that is. Takes care of them with the funniest little old lady. Oh, and let me mention she has a best friend that is the bomb! The hero comes from the left, because really I thought the hero was going to be the movie star but ended up being that's the brother. When said movie star ends up at her farm due to her bff's suggestion for doing community work, it's a long but fun road. The hero is moody, grumpy, doesn't say a lot but his actions may also be not often but true to his feelings I can't deny these two's chemistry. His past is a little twisted but in all the heroine truly falls for him without even being touched yet. Oh did I mention that this is a SUPER SLOW BURN? Yeah, prepare, I mean after 80% type of burn, the anticipation is killer too.
After reading to the end, I honestly wanted to love the hero more and more but just was not a fit for me for a couple of reasons and if you're a mood reader like me you'll understand that it just…WAS NOT EXCUSABLE (I think to me I just needed little more explanation from the hero is all) it was also maybe a little of the story, there was a MYSTERY and ACTION factor to it but it did not go anywhere if you know what I mean. But over all I would still highly recommend this book and author because my rating is based on personal preferences not a over-all…this could be a gold for you! SINGLE POV!

Self-checkout counters/lanes at grocery stores aren't new. Maybe some people prefer bagging their own groceries, or maybe some people think it's faster than standing in line. Either way it's an idea that's been done before, but over in Japan, Panasonic has a plan that could take self-checkouts to the next level.
How next level can self-checkouts get? Simple: by scanning and bagging items for you automatically. This means that not only do customers not need to scan items manually, but they also don't need to bag their own groceries, which can be pretty handy if you're unsure what is the best way to pack them into a bag.
Panasonic is currently conducting a trial run at a Lawson's store opposite its headquarters in Osaka. This sounds like a pretty amazing idea, especially when you consider how well it could fit in with other concepts such as Amazon Go, Amazon's take on the supermarket of the future where your items can be scanned and billed to your Amazon account as you go.

Contamination load and distribution of contaminants is shown. Gaiasafe Passive Collectors have been used successfully to determine single compounds out of the contamination load. Furthermore the spreading and biodegradation of contaminants was monitored over a large area in Abidjan. Only a few days after the dumping the chemical waste from Probo Koala was detected in the surface water, after two weeks the waste was not longer detectable.
The use of Gaiasafe Passive Collectors supports environmental monitoring effectively by its unique integral sorption capability. Direct contact of PC with water offer a close and realistic view onto the contamination load.
The Gaiasafe Passive Collectors (PC) consist of a paper arrangement of different active sorption fibres. This PC's are capable of collecting all organic compounds, heavy metals and metalloids and can be used in all environmental settings.
The PC's are suited for surface and ground water monitoring, with an effective collection time interval of 1 to 8 weeks, depending on the amount of present contaminations.
Application of PC yields the medium load contamination during the collecting time. Field use, handling and transfer of PC samples are very simple. After their use, the PC's are dried and stored in suitable shipping containers. The low item weight of 2.7 grams enables easy shipment even from remote sites.
Lix 4: Lagoon at the mouth of the river.
At the end of August, liquid chemical waste were dumped illegally by the crew of Probo Koala, a tanker under Panamanian flag, on several sites in Abidjan, the Ivory Coast economic capital.
These substances are held responsible for the death of ten persons, and more than 100.000 medical consultations. Individuals affected suffered from diarrhoea, nausea or from blood discharge out of the upper ventilatory system.
Sample AC 2: Monitoring time 25.9.06 – 3.10.06.
The PC's were dried onsite, subsequently transferred to Germany and subjected to laboratory examination. The preparation of the PC's was done as follows: samples were extracted with methanol and analysed with Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
The result of the April monitoring (samples Lix 1 – Lix 4) shows dilution effects on the way downstream.
All the way down from the waste disposal site to the mouth of the river in the lagoon dilution and microbial degradation could be observed: only the PAK 2-Ethylacridine is present in all samples, other PAK and Phenols could be found in sample Lix 1 only.
In the tidal area of the lagoon Toluene and Trimethyltoluene were detected.
Sample AC 1 contained additional substances, mainly Indol, Dodecan, some Phenols and some Phthalates compared to the reference investigation in April 2006 (Lix 1).
Two weeks later (sample AC 2/2), the afore mentioned substances were no longer detectable.
The result shows, that the liquid chemical waste from Probo Koala was detected in the surface water only a few days after dumping. Two weeks later the specific substances were no longer detectable.
It would habe been nearly impossible to do such monitoring under the specific conditions in Abidjan with "normal" water analysis because of the missing infrastructure. With the gaiasafe passive collectors such monitoring is easy because of the integral sorption of the compounds and the easy handling.

Wilbur Lucius Cross papers
The Wilbur Lucius Cross Papers include correspondence, speeches, writings, research notes, subject files, and memorabilia which document Cross's education, scholarship, teaching career, service to Yale University, and tenure as governor of Connecticut. The files are composed of Cross's personal papers and do not include administrative records from Yale or from the governor's office.* The papers highlight Cross's research on the development of the English novel; public reaction to Cross's books, public appearances, proclamations, and political campaigns; his participation in numerous academic and civic organizations; and his autobiographical research for and writing of Connecticut Yankee.
Wilbur Cross and his estate donated the bulk of the papers to the Yale University Library in 1948. Dorothy A. Turner Carper and others donated additional Cross materials between 1943 and 1965. The papers are arranged in four series: Arranged in four series and one addition: I. Correspondence, 1881-1947; II. Subject Files, 1876-1948; III. Addresses, 1919-1945; IV. Writings, 1886-1927.
The series titles are generally descriptive of their contents and arrangement by record type, but all series contain correspondence. Cross's speeches are also dispersed throughout the collection. The papers cover Cross's entire career beginning with his high school education and poultry business, ca. 1876-1878, continuing through his undergraduate and graduate training, and detailing his academic and political careers and activities following his defeat for reelection in 1938. Series II is the largest in the papers and contains the widest range of material for all phases of Cross's career.
Series I includes personal correspondence dating primarily during Cross's last term as governor and from the years following. The correspondence is composed of invitations, requests for contributions, and congratulatory messages from Cross's friends and supporters. Many letters concern Cross's participation in civic organizations or election to professional or honorary societies.
Correspondence in folders 22-23, 52-56, 59, and 74-75 all concerns Cross's nominations and elections, and the folders include letters from the general public as well as personal friends. Folders 24-29 and 43 contain correspondence concerning Cross's books and folder 27 in particular contains special messages of tribute from Franklin D. Roosevelt, Willa Cather, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Cross's correspondence with Nicholas Murray Butler, Robert Underwood Johnson, Grace Vanamee, and Hamlin Garland in folders 2-7 concerns the internal policies and administration of the American Academy of Arts and Letters as well as plans for public occasions honoring major contributors to American culture from 1927 to 1930. Cross's exchanges with the sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski are included in folder 72. Correspondence arranged in chronological order in folders 73-85 includes letters from Cross's student days and early teaching career at Yale. There is some correspondence with Cross's friends and colleagues William Lyon Phelps and Clifford Beers in folder 76.
Series II includes correspondence, printed material, minutes, and organizational papers which are arranged by topic and concern the breadth of Cross's activities. Nearly one third of the folders in the series contain speech notes or writings for various occasions.
The series includes files of background information and memorabilia used by Cross in writing his autobiography. Material on the Cross family is found in folders 94, 102, 151, 152, 171, and 248, while material from and reflections on Cross's childhood, teenage years, and education in Willimantic, Connecticut is included in folders 162, 177, 210-211, 234-236, and 247. The series also contains notebooks, Compositions, and correspondence from Cross's Yale undergraduate and graduate years and teaching positions prior to joining the Yale faculty in 1894. These are in folders 128-133, 155, 226-228, 231, 241-242, 251, and 290.
Many of the subject files relate to Cross's research on literature, the English novel, Henry Fielding, and Laurence Sterne. Research notes and printed material will be found in folders 126, 149, 154, 161, 191, 193-200, 215-221, 223, and 254-255. Cross's participation in educational, scholarly, and learned societies and institutions is reflected in correspondence, minutes, and printed material in folders 87-92, 96, 99, 101, 134, 144-145, 166, 243-244, 285-289, 295-296, and 300-301. Cross's interest in the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Berkeley Divinity School, Connecticut College, and Yale University are prominently represented in these files. Cross's work as agent for the Yale Class of 1885 is also well-documented (folders 275-283).
Cross's tenure as governor of Connecticut is reflected primarily in speeches and files of congratulatory messages (folders 135-141) on Cross's political campaigns. Folders 119-123 contain lists of contributors to Cross's campaigns and correspondence of his political agent Edgar Furniss. The subject files also contain occasional copies of state agency reports, which Cross received as governor; files, which include photographs, documenting the disastrous flood of 1936 and the hurricane of 1938; and Cross's gubernatorial messages to the Connecticut General Assembly and Thanksgiving proclamations. The files also contain a wealth of memorabilia such as souvenir programs and greeting cards collected by Cross as governor and in the years following. Folder 263 concerns Cross's unsuccessful 1946 election campaign to fill a Senate vacancy for the short term between election day and the convening of the new Congress.
Series III, ADDRESSES, contains manuscripts or notes for speeches, filed with related correspondence, invitations, memorabilia, and photographs. There are very few printed copies of speeches but there are some duplicate copies of items in the subject files. The files, which are arranged chronologically, begin with Cross's speeches at various cultural and educational celebrations. The bulk of the series, however, consists of Cross's political and gubernatorial addresses, which include campaign appearances, communications to the General Assembly, and radio talks. The series contains a few ceremonial addresses at Yale functions, and some notes in the undated folders may be for course lectures.
Series IV, WRITINGS, contains manuscripts, correspondence, notebooks, background material, and memorabilia for Cross's literary and autobiographical writings. The series includes a handwritten and typed manuscript of Connecticut Yankee, as well as the manuscript for Development of the English Novel, and an annotated printed copy of The Life and Times of Laurence Sterne along with a typed copy and illustrative material. Material for The History of Henry Fielding (folders 379-387) includes extensive correspondence files with Fielding collector Frederick S. Dickson and Cross's research assistant Constance H. White. Some of the material in these files also concerns contributions to the Fielding Fund and the estate of Thomas A. Lounsbury. The scrapbook at the end of the series includes reviews of Cross's publications, along with photographs from Yale events, correspondence, and memorabilia relating to Yale and the Yale Review. There is also a bibliography of Cross's works written into the scrapbook.
*The Connecticut State Library in Hartford, Connecticut, maintains the voluminous official records of Cross's four terms as governor of Connecticut.

The Opening 2015 Recap: Pac-12 commits and targets
Observations on several Pac-12 commits and targets from The Opening in Beaverton, Oregon
By Jamie Uyeyama Jul 12, 2015, 9:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: The Opening 2015 Recap: Pac-12 commits and targets
Going into The Opening, the Pac-12 had a decent amount of commitments heading into the camp that featured 166 of the top recruits in the nation. During the camp, though, no conference benefited more from the announcements as programs from the conference added five new blue chip commitments in cornerback Jared Mayden (Oregon), linebacker Lamar Winston (Oregon), linebacker Camilo Eifler (Washington), defensive back CJ Pollard (USC), and athlete Trevon Sidney (USC).
In addition to those five, there were plenty of other Pac-12 commitments and targets and I was on hand at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon to watch all of the prospects in action. Now that the event has concluded, here's some of the things that stood out to me from a Pac-12 perspective:
- There were other more physically impressive players at the camp, but not many more than USC linebacker commit Daelin Hayes. He's not quite cut up. He just has a massive frame (6'4" 249 with awesome length) and no other linebacker looked anywhere close to him from a physical standpoint.
He is fluid enough to play the linebacker position at this time, but I believe he is going to get too big eventually and be an edge defender. He hasn't played a ton of actual football the last two seasons because of an injury as a sophomore and a transfer last season, so hopefully he is line for a big senior year. He has 5 star tools.
- This group of tight ends at The Opening this year was a really good one and Stanford tight end Kaden Smith was probably the third best tight end in that group after Florida State commit Isaac Nauta and Ohio State commit Jake Hausmann. Smith already has the look of a Stanford tight end and could practically slip onto campus and be physically ready to go this season. It's scary to think that he is only going to be a senior in high school in the fall.
He uses his body to shield defenders very well and he displayed reliable hands over the middle of the field whenever I got to see him.
- Two of the best corners I saw this week were from out west. Byron Murphy was physical and showed outstanding mirroring skills. He weighed in at only 163 pounds and ran a 4.6 in the testing portion of the camp. He plays much bigger and much faster than that on the field, though, and that's what's most important. Washington, Arizona State, UCLA, and USC are in contention to land him.
Long Beach Poly's Jack Jones proved he could lock down just about any receiver in attendance and also made plays at the safety position as well. He is another undersized player who didn't test fast, but he certainly doesn't back down against bigger receivers and can run with just about all of them. He struggled against the MVP of the camp, Kyle Davis, but so did every other corner who attempted to cover with him. USC and UCLA are both on Jones' list of top schools.
- With C.J. Pollard committing to USC, it would seem inevitable that players like Brandon Burton and Oluwole Betiku would also be destined to be Trojans following in the footsteps of many recent players from the school, but both Burton and Betiku don't have USC on their list of remaining schools as it currently stands.
Burton showed the potential to be a ballhawk at free safety this week and has so much range back deep. He tracks the ball so well. He's even better with the pads on when he can be an intimidator as a hitter in the secondary as well. UCLA and Arizona are the two Pac-12 schools that are still heavily in the mix for him.
Betiku is just getting started with this game and his potential is scary. He is a physical freak of nature who seemed to get better with every rep he took. He had one on one on Thursday where he threw 2017 5 star offensive tackle Calvin Ashley out of the way so violently that it knocked Ashley out for the rest of the camp. He could end up being a special player at the next level and might end up being the top pass rusher in this class when all is said and done. UCLA is the Pac-12 school that appears to have the best shot at keeping him out west.
- As if USC wasn't loading up enough with talent this class at the wide receiver position that was recently bolstered with Trevon Sidney, who was fantastic this week working out of the slot, the Trojans are the heavy favorite to land Tyler Vaughns as well. Vaughns showed a lot of improvement as a route runner since his junior season and he may have the best hands out of any player in the nation. His body control is tremendous as well. Even when he is covered, he never seems to be covered. If the ball is thrown anywhere near him, chances are he is coming down with it. UCLA cornerback commitment Jordan Parker seemed to have him blanketed a few times when they were matched up. It didn't ultimately matter because Vaughns kept catching the ball against him and Parker couldn't stop him.
- Athlete Melquise Stovall is going to be another good option for USC as a receiver whether he is lined up in the slot or the backfield. I think he can do some damage as an inside runner as well even though he is so tiny. The variety of weapons the Trojans are adding is going to be scary for Pac-12 defensive coordinators to deal with.
- Another USC commit, linebacker Mique Juarez, was one of the top linebackers overall at the camp. He took a couple of picks back to the house in 7 on 7 competition and his athleticism shined through whenever he dropped back in coverage. He surpassed my expectations. UCLA is still one of the schools that is trying to flip the long time Trojan commitment.
- The last USC commit I'll get to is offensive lineman Frank Martin. Originally before this camp, I saw him more as a future guard, but he convinced me that he has a shot to be a solid option at tackle as well. He was lighter on his feet than I expected.
- Guard Michael Eletise was wearing a Washington shirt around after getting done with the linemen workout on Friday and the Huskies are the Crystal Ball favorite to land him with the two Arizona schools also in the mix to land him. I was a big fan of Eletise going into this camp and I'm an even bigger fan now. He was one of the only players to win a rep versus the top defensive linemen at the camp, Rashan Gary, all week. He was one of the best interior offensive linemen at the camp and did a very good job against an awesome defensive tackle group that featured several 5 star level players. He was one of the only players that knew how to adjust to the bull rush and reset his pad level to stone pass rushers that rushed him straight up. Whoever lands him will be getting a very good player.
- In another year, De La Salle's Boss Tagaloa would be considered one of the best defensive tackle prospects in the nation. He still might be, but there was a noticeable drop off between him and the top guys like Gary, Derrick Brown, Dexter Lawrence, Raekwon Davis, and Ed Oliver. Tagaloa is big and powerful, but does not have the athleticism or advanced hand use as a pass rusher that those other players do. He is strictly a bull rusher at this time and needs to add more to his game to become a better pass rusher and be more than just a run stuffer. UCLA, Arizona, and Cal are all schools he is still looking at.
- Defensive end Connor Murphy is another player with a high ceiling and could potentially be a beast once he adds to his frame. 6'7" with ridiculously long arms is always a good look for a defensive end. He clearly needs to get stronger at this point and isn't going to be someone who steps in and contributes immediately at the next level. He struggled to win on the edge and needs to improve his pad level and hand violence. If he does, he is going to be an incredibly tough player to block with that arm length. Oregon, Stanford, and Arizona State all want to tap into that enormous potential that Murphy has.
- The only Pac-12 commitment at quarterback was K.J. Costello. The future Stanford player was ranked number four on the final Elite 11 list and showed a big arm while delivering the football into tight windows on many occasions. I did think Costello was a little indecisive when his first read wasn't there in 7 on 7 action, but he made some great throws all week. Some touch throws in the red zone were particularly impressive.
- Another Stanford commitment, linebacker Curtis Robinson, did some nice things this week as well. He blanketed most tight ends when he played man coverage. He clearly has a different look than previous Stanford outside linebackers. He also is a different kind of athlete at outside linebacker than they've had as well. A player like him could signal a shift in philosophy for the Cardinal in adjusting to some of the spread concepts they have to face almost every week in the Pac-12.
- Linebacker Caleb Kelly was on the same team as Robinson and also did a great job in coverage versus tight ends. He was one of the only players that did a good job when matched up with Isaac Nauta and did so by playing physical. That's the big difference between Robinson and Kelly as prospects. They are similar athletes. Both very fluid that can run really well. Kelly is simply bigger, more physical, and has a frame to carry more weight as well. It's tough for linebackers to shine at this camp, but Kelly lived up to the 5 star expectations I had for him. Stanford, Oregon, and USC are the three Pac-12 schools in his top seven for the Fresno linebacker.
- Washington running back commitment Sean McGrew is so tiny, yet so explosive as an athlete. When he gets into the open field as a pass catcher, he threatens any linebacker who doesn't have a good angle trying to tackle him. He is going to be a weapon on third down for the Huskies during his career.
- A camp that is mostly about a 7 on 7 tournament isn't going to be where De La Salle tight end Devin Asiasi is going to show he is elite even though he has very good hands and moves better than anyone would expect for his size. He is going to be best in pads. I hope none of the services drop his ranking because of a lack of an eye popping performance because he is a stud when the games matter. Oregon and USC are high on his list.
- The Opening was a great opportunity for offensive lineman Frederick Mauigoa to show that he belongs with the other elite linemen in attendance and I think Mauigoa proved that he belonged this week. The kid from American Samoa only has a handful of offers, Oregon State and Washington State being two of them, but more should be on the way. He got better and better each day despite having to go against big time competition rep after rep.
- I'll finish up with the smallest player at the event in Traveon Beck. The Cal commit is so tiny and that is obviously a bit concerning because at 5'8" 155, he is going to always be matched up with bigger players than him. He may have perfect coverage and still not win on a play because of his size. I really liked his film and think he showed some ability as a nickel corner in this setting. He didn't play on the outside when I watched him and I think it's obvious why. He would have had a heck of a time going against some of these jumbo receivers who were out jumping and out muscling corners that are 6'1" and 195. Small players have beaten the odds before and I certainly liked his instincts and acceleration when breaking on the football at this camp. I just worry about him being limited to the nickel and not someone who can ever be an option on the outside against elite receivers.

India resumes talks with protesting farmers over agricultural legal guidelines By Reuters
By Elton Drewry On Dec 3, 2020
By Mayank Bhardwaj and Rajendra Jadhav
NEW DELHI / MUMBAI (Reuters) – Indian ministers on Thursday started talks with farmers' leaders to try to break a deadlock on laws passed earlier this year to deregulate the agricultural sector, which sparked the country's largest agricultural protests in years.
Tens of thousands of farmers have settled at the entrance to the capital Delhi to protest against laws aimed at ridding the sector of outdated procurement practices and allowing farmers to sell to institutional buyers and large international retailers.
Farmers, who make up a powerful constituency, fear that the laws passed in September could pave the way for the government to stop buying grain at guaranteed prices and leave them to private buyers.
The protests represent a crucial test of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ability to reform India's vast agricultural sector.
Minister of Agriculture and Welfare of Farmers Narendra Singh Tomar and Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal have opened talks with nearly three dozen representatives of farmers, a government official said.
"We expect the government to heed our calls for the repeal of laws harmful to the Indian farming community," said Joginder Singh Ugrahan, a well-known farming leader.
Modi's government defended the bill and hours of talks between farmers' leaders and the government on Tuesday failed to break the impasse.
India's vast agricultural sector accounts for nearly 15% of the country's $ 2.9 trillion economy and employs around half of its 1.3 billion people.
"We humbly ask you to listen to the voice of farmers and to withdraw the implementation of these laws completely," Avik Saha, another farmer leader, said in a letter to the Minister of Agriculture on Thursday.
"It's not about a specific clause, but about the direction in which the Indian government is pushing agriculture in India," wrote Saha.
According to farmers' groups, the government is trying to end a decade-long policy that gives them a guaranteed minimum price for making staple foods like wheat and rice.

JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING: Birdman Wants You to Know Why He Kisses Lil Wayne on the Lips – "It Might Be the Last Time He Ever See Me"
Y'all remember those viral shots of Birdman and Weezy giving one another a little smooch that used to come up every couple of years? Well, Birdman is finally putting an explanation to that.
It's not uncommon when you hear somebody trying to discredit Birdman's work in the music industry that they'll tell you about the him kissing his artists on the lips — most notably, Lil Wayne. You've likely all seen photos and videos of Birdman and Lil Wayne kissing, and perhaps you've even speculated about their sexuality at a time. But their kisses were strictly familial and had no romantic connotation, according to Birdman himself.
During his latest interview on the Big Facts Podcast, Birdman spoke about everything that's going on with him, as well as some of the hottest topics surrounding him over his career. He spoke about the tensions between artists at Cash Money Records, noting that he wasn't as well-versed in the world of music publishing earlier on in his career, and he also touched on his habit of kissing rappers, especially Lil Wayne, on the lips.
"I always looked at Wayne as my son and I always looked at it like, 'cause I was in the streets, and I thought this might be the last time he ever see me," explained Birdman. "'Cause I was living like that. That's what that shit really started from 'cause I thought that every night I leave, I might not ever come back. And I always today look at Wayne as my child. I was his father when he didn't have a father since he was nine years old. And I love him like my own and I'd give my life for him and I'd take a life for him."
It took Baby a long time to clear this up, but you've got to respect his answer. What do you think? Does this explain them kissing on the lips? Personally, I never assumed they were gay.. I just thought it was weird to kiss these grown ass kids on the lips. Do y'all do that?

PSNI warns there is 'no hiding' for motorists using their mobile phone
A member of the public who snapped a speed camera is targeted by officers
Jane McAteer
Motorist using his mobile behind the wheel
Police have issued a stark warning to anyone who uses their mobile phone behind the wheel.
It is after a member of the public posted a photograph on social media of a speed monitoring van in Kilkeel.
It appears the man is trying to alert his Facebook friends of the whereabouts of checkpoints.
A PSNI spokesman in Craigavon said: "There is no hiding. If you kill someone, you'll have that to live with it for life."
The officer said they could track down exactly where the image was snapped and could find the offender.
"Since the location was so clear, and we can check exactly where the vans are at any given time to verify it, this guy may well get a knock on his door."
You could be breaking the law at the drive-thru
This is when you can and can't use a mobile phone in a car
Police are urging the public to put their mobile phone down saying it is not worth it.
The officer added: "If you are involved in a serious accident, your phone will be seized and every bit of activity on it in the lead up to the crash analysed."

Cubs spring training in Florida?
December 1, 2009 (NAPLES, Fla.) Ricketts and Crane Kenney are meeting with the governor of Florida in Tallahassee on Tuesday to talk about Southwest Florida, according to the Chicago Cubs. The day trip will not take them to Naples, where Ricketts may move the team for spring training in the Grapefruit League.
The Cubs have been training in Mesa, Arizona, with the Cactus League for years. Those spring training games draw crowds, according to the Cactus League, with the Chicago Cubs bringing the most fans to Arizona -- an average 10,690 fans per game.
Next year, the North Side baseball team can opt out of its 20-year contract with Mesa, which would end their Arizona training by 2012, for $4.2 million.
Ricketts met with Mesa, Ariz., officials in November. The Ricketts family purchased the Chicago Cubs at the end of October 2009.

The photos below are from our first activity of the year, Tuesday, January 05, 2016.
Months ago, our team donated soccer equipment from Maumelle, Arkansas - USA to Children in Santchou, Cameroon.
We are leading children to become Peace Ambassadors through sports in Cameroon. Due to the Boko Haram situation in the far north region, other children are used by this terrorist group to perpetrate suicide attacks.
Their ignorance of peace values (Tolerance, Compassion, Co-existence, and Love) is turning these girls into suicide bombers and youth terrorist soldiers. Our plan for this year is to teach those values to children and youth in collaboration with traditional and religious leaders! Our computer lab center will help the children to be open-minded and well educated. Please support the project here.
A blessed year 2016 to all our supporters, donors, and partners: United Religions Initiative, A Common Word Among the Youth, KAICIID, Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), World Interfaith Harmony Week, Charter for Compassion, Peace via Dialogue Network, Global Peace Foundation, Peace Revolution, European Commission - Humanitarian Aid & Civil Protection (ECHO), U.S. Embassy Yaounde, and The Pollination Project.
May The Golden Rule guide us this year. May Peace Prevail on Earth!


While I'm on the subject of wine sales, it strikes me that they remain surprisingly contentious. The very idea makes some people – really rather a lot of people, it seems – shudder with horror, while all they make me is a) merry, and b) poorer.
Obviously, there are wine "bargains" that are still rip-offs, consisting of bottles that have been sold for a while at about double their value in order to later be flogged with a half-price sticker, and often produced by multi-national wine-spewing conglomerates of yuck. Then there's the 25% off everything sale, which every supermarket seems to wheel out from time to time. While these give me nothing but the impression that their normal prices must be a bit too high, these are the normal prices I usually have to pay – which makes three-quarters of the normal price quite an attractive prospect.
While buying wine from supermarkets doesn't really suit my research-everything-ridiculously tendencies, Waitrose's biannual discounting frenzy is a very major exception. The ability to mix your own case of some genuinely decent stuff at genuinely decent prices from your very own sofa is too much for me to withstand; within 15 minutes of me hearing about their last offer, a couple of weeks ago, and knowing that my children would wake up from their lunchtime naps at any moment, I had ordered two cases.
Then there is the genuine wine sale, like the one I found at Les Caves de Pyrene last weekend, where a retailer is trying to get rid of some old stock that's clogging up their warehouse. The job that sales always used to do, before they became regular festivals of comsumption. Quite a lot of the wine I bought had something clearly wrong with it – it was a few years old but not intended for keeping, or the label was damaged, or it was from Morocco. I'm happy to have bought something for less than the going rate, they're happy to have got rid of the stuff in the first place, everyone's happy.
Except those who consider wine to rightfully be above this sort of thing, the shallow pursuit of a bargain. That the obsession with discounting makes life difficult for retailers and impossible for producers. That it stops people from buying any wine that isn't reduced. That even wine that isn't discounted is nevertheless cheapened.
I like my sales. They suit me well. But I can see where they're coming from, to be honest.
