First off I'm no structural engineer, just a farmboy that hates to pay people to do stuff that I know I'm capable of myself. :thumbsup
I'd venture to say by the pics ANYWHERE there is an overlap of floor joists then it is a load bearing wall and you'd better be carefull dropping it without the proper support's in place first. I took out a load bearing wall in between my kitchen and what was a 3rd bedroom making a huge eat in kitchen, temporarily took up the load 2 feet either side then dropped the wall and put a beam in its place.
I'm gonna have to agree with Brycee's suggestions that a beam of sorts would be the best way to proceed.
