ALBANY, Ga. -- The city will begin a pilot program tonight designed to better inform the public about how the city government works, officials say.
Albany 101 will be a quarterly gathering hosted by the city of Albany that will educate attendees on various facets of city government, Assistant City Manager Wes Smith said.
"It's just an event that's free and open to the public that we hope will catch on," Smith said. "It's a good opportunity, we feel, for the public to see how their government works."
The first program will start at 6 p.m. tonight at the government center downtown and will feature a question-and-answer session from a representative of the Albany Police Department.
Following the workshop, the attendees will be invited to stay and attend the the city commission's pre-briefing at 7:30 p.m. and its regular meeting at 8 p.m.
Smith says that the city manager's office is planning to host the meetings quarterly and will make various city department heads and officials available.
The program is not unlike the citizens' police academy which has grown in popularity each year. That program takes citizens through an intensive multi-week seminar that covers various parts of police procedure and training.

The first time Don Points visited Kramer Junction, California, he didn't know what to expect. It was 2001, and the retired finance executive had booked a tour of Solel Corp.'s solar thermal power plant in the Mojave Desert. Although Points had heard about solar electric-generating plants from his friend John Myles, CEO of Solargenix Energy, he hadn't given the concept much thought. But as the former McDevitt Street Bovis finance chief stood in the barren desert, out among the endless rows of sky-blue reflectors, he felt as though he had stepped into an alien world. Points still recalls the eerie silence, punctuated only by the soft electronic whir of actuators moving giant mirrors 1/16th of an inch. "I was awestruck," he says. "I knew right then that this technology would work."
Points came out of retirement to join Solargenix as finance chief in 2004. His timing could not have been better. With fuel costs rocketing to the top of the worry list for CFOs (see By the Numbers), finance executives in the clean-fuel sector — once seen as a noble but foolhardy pursuit — now find themselves at the center of the action.
Indeed, the clean-energy industry (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydrogen, fusion) has moved far beyond its early tree-hugger image. Legislators in several states, worried as much about potential power shortages as they are about the environment, have set aggressive targets for clean-fuel production of electricity. Business leaders, too, are exploring ways to insulate their companies from price spikes. One company, natural- and organic-food retailer Whole Foods Market, now meets all of its electricity needs through wind power, a technology whose fuel source is free.
The build-out of the clean-fuels industry has commenced in earnest. Nationwide, there are 101 ethanol mills, and another 40 are being constructed or expanded. General Motors Corp. is ramping up production of vehicles that can run on the high-octane home brew as well as gasoline. Commercial wind farms have cropped up in 34 states, with turbines dotting the rolling farmland near Walla Walla, Washington, and the marshes outside Atlantic City, New Jersey. Close to Las Vegas, Solargenix recently broke ground on a 64-megawatt solar thermal plant — the largest to be built in nearly 15 years. All in, research and publishing firm CleanEdge predicts that by 2015, sales of clean fuels will hit $167 billion. (That's more than the revenue currently generated by the U.S. airline industry.) "Renewables are poised to grow," insists Dan Goldman, CFO at clean-energy specialist New Energy Capital Corp., headquartered in Hanover, New Hampshire. "We're at a tipping point."
The switch from novelty to commodity is no sure thing, however. Securing capital remains difficult for new-fuel businesses, particularly those short on earnings. To obtain funding, CFOs at these outfits must convince lenders of the viability of often-exotic technologies — no easy sell. And regardless of fears about global warming, clean fuels will not catch on unless they cost as little as fossil fuels. That puts CFOs at alternative-energy companies squarely on the hot seat. "We're past the crunchy-granola stage," says Richard Baxter, senior technology analyst at Ardour Capital Investments LLC. "This is about money. If clean fuels aren't competitively priced, they won't last."

TWTP's Women's Work 2012 Festival Opens with WITNESS By Regina Taylor
The first public reading of a new play by noted actress/playwright ReGina Taylor-the first play ever to be commissioned by Tennessee Women's Theater Project-highlights the company's sixth annual Women's Work Showcase, a three-week celebration of the arts.
TWTP returns to the Z. Alexander Looby Theater for the start of Women's Work 2012, which begins today, May 4, and continues through Sunday, May 20. The sixth annual Women's Work festival shines the spotlight on performing and visual arts created by women.
According to TWTP founder Maryanna Clarke, the 2012 festival "cuts a broad swath across styles and genres to offer eleven completely different programs: poetry and essays; one-woman shows; staged readings of new plays including Taylor's latest work commissioned by the company; dance, music and a display of visual art works in the theater lobby.
Founded in 2007, the annual festival was born in adversity. Maryanna Clarke, the company's founder and artistic director, remembers the aftermath of being sidelined with a back injury: "After six weeks with my walker and my pain pills, I was forced to give up on directing the play we had scheduled for May that year," she explains. "I emailed every woman artist I knew, offering our stage for their plays, poems, films- any creation we could accommodate."
That initial email was forwarded far and wide, and women from Nashville and across the country submitted their work. The showcase has grown every year since.
Women's Work 2012 opens with the debut public presentation of Witness, a new play created for TWTP by Taylor. The company's first commissioned work came about after Clarke learned that African American women are more than twice as likely to die of breast cancer as Caucasian women.
Taylor, author of Crowns, Oo-Bla-Dee and The Trinity River Plays, responded to the company's request to consider exploring this untold story, and researched her script in part by interviewing survivors of breast cancer. A creation grant from the Metro Nashville Arts Commission helped get the work to the page.
Following the first reading May 4, Witness will tour churches, community organizations and schools in the region. Grants from National Endowment for the Arts, Susan Komen for the Cure Nashville and corporate sponsorships will underwrite the cost of many performances, which will also feature health education and outreach activities. Taylor will be on-hand for the May 4 presentation.
Saturday May 5 brings Dance Night, always one of the festival's best-attended shows. This year features returning favorites Rachel Flores and Blue Moves Modern Dance Company, hooper Kristen Teffeteller Leophard, belly dance with Reischa Feuerbacher, and an ensemble choreographed by Marci Murphree. Among the first -time performers are Renata McGraw, Erin Rehberg with Core Project Chicago and Elaine Husted and Husted Dance.
Opening weekend concludes with a Sunday matinee staging of . . .and then God created woman, a performance piece by returning artist Thandiwe Shiphrah that blends poetry, music and dance.
This year's theater readings include Hunger in Paradise, by Mary McCallum; You Wouldn't Expect, a play by Marilynn Barner Anselmi that explores North Carolina's sterilization program for "mental defectives;" Janet McMahan's musical Once Upon a Time (Not); Between Lives, by the multi-talented returning presenter Judy Klass, The West Bank Zoo, by Christine C. Mather and The House, by three-time presenter Robyn Brooks of Berkeley, California.
On May 13, it's the Sixth Annual Mother's Day Poetry Reading, featuring returning favorites Amy E. Hall, Raziya and Jan Bossing, and first-time presenters Patricia Alice Albrecht, K. Danielle Edwards and Ashley Mintz. The company distributes free roses to all mothers in attendance.
Plays and one-woman shows on the slate include Growing Up Baptist, Busty and Bookish, written and performed Joy Tilley Perryman; Ponder Anew: A WWII Warrior's Story, by Carol Ponder with Robert Kiefer; first-time presenter Janet Schlapkohl in her play called Childbirth Methods/LaLeche League and an eclectic evening of stories, essays and monologues by Lisa Berryhill, Edith Costanza, Karen Trotter Elley, Gwendolyn Joyce Mintz and Heidi Petak and Pamela Stansberry.

Tibi - New York Spring 2010
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) The fashion flock may love their clothes in black, but Tibi's Amy Smilovic is trying to lighten them up for spring. With hardly a look in noir, Smilovic instead focused on crayola-bright shades, from poppy to aqua to peach, orange, and lemon. For contrast's sake, navy made a few appearances, but all in all, the bright collection was successful. Tibi's brand of easy separates (this time, with more than a few slip dresses) had modern, chic elements, like the boyfriend blazer and pegged trousers, making it one that's sure to please on the runway or in real life.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Just two weeks before Iowa's first-in-the-nation precinct caucuses there's a new leader, but the race remains "remarkably fluid," according to a new Iowa State University/Gazette/KCRG poll of likely Republican caucusgoers.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul has moved into first place – the fifth candidate to hold that spot since the mid-August Iowa GOP Straw Poll. The data collected between Dec. 8 and 18 suggest that unlike the previous frontrunners, Paul's support is more solid.
Paul is the first choice of 27.5 percent of 333 likely caucusgoers among the 740 registered Republicans and 200 registered independents contacted by ISU. That's up from 20.4 percent in an ISU/Gazette/KCRG poll in November. He's followed closely by former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich whose support increased from 4.8 percent to 25.3 percent. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in at 17.5 percent, up from 16.3.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is the only other candidate to poll in double digits at 11.2 percent – an increase from 7.9 percent a month earlier.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann slipped four-tenths of a percentage point to 7.4 percent. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Rick Santorum edged up two-tenths of a percentage point to at 4.9 percent. Georgia businessman Herman Cain, who suspended his campaign while he was the frontrunner at 24.5 percent, fell to 0.4 percent. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman polled 0.3 percent and "can't decide" at 5.4 percent. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
While Paul's lead is easily within the margin of error, James McCormick, professor and chair of political science at Iowa State and coordinator of the poll, says the polling found that 51 percent of those naming the libertarian-leaning Texan as their first choice are "definitely" backing him.
The percentage for the next two candidates is much weaker, at 16.1 percent for Romney and 15.2 for Gingrich, McCormick said.
"Moreover, the percentage of respondents 'leaning to' or 'still undecided' in their support for these latter two candidates remains high, at 58 percent for Gingrich and 38 percent for Romney," he said. "In other words, I'm going to make the case that these numbers are still very soft for those two candidates."
His colleague, Dave Peterson, interim director of the Harkin Institute of Public Policy at Iowa State and associate professor of political science who assisted with the poll, says that suggests Paul "probably under-polls."
"His supporters are younger and more likely to reply on a cell phone, so he's probably going to perform better than his polling suggests," Peterson says. "His supporters also are dedicated and will likely turn out on caucus night and not change their minds."
The ISU pollsters found the race "remarkably fluid" with 37.8 percent of respondents indicating they were still trying to decide and another 34.1 percent only leaning towards one candidate. Only 28.1 percent indicated that they had definitely decided who they would support.
"Because we surveyed the same likely caucusgoers in November, these results do indicate some movement to strengthening the commitment to a particular candidate," McCormick said. "In November, only 16.5 percent indicated that they had definitely committed to a candidate."
Given that uncertainty, caucusgoers' second choice may be critical to the outcome on caucus night. While "can't decide" was the most frequent answer — 23.7 percent, Romney and Gingrich had double-digit support, with Michele Bachmann at just over 9 percent as second choices.
Because the same individuals were surveyed in November and December, ISU pollsters were able to determine that Gingrich is the first choice of 38 percent of the former Cain supporters. Paul gets another 20 percent, Perry 14 percent and Romney 8.5 percent.
Asked to select the most important factor in motivating their support for a candidate, 32 percent of respondent said "takes a strong stand" followed by 24.7 percent saying "can win the general election" and 24.4 percent going with "has the right experience,"
Paul did well on taking strong stances and the right experience, and even better on a fourth factor: "cares about people."
"Ron Paul doesn't look like the typical presidential candidate," McCormick said. "I went over to his Dec. 8 talk at the Memorial Union and heard him and he's sort of soft-spoken and not particularly strong on the stump. But his message is obviously connecting. Yeah he doesn't at all look like the typical presidential candidate, so he's the anti-Washington, anti-politician that he's trying to portray himself — and it strikes a responsive chord among many people."
Gingrich did well on each of the three most frequently mentioned factors, but he did the best with the experience and electable factors. Romney scored best among the respondents on the experience and electable factors, although he was behind Gingrich on both of them.
Asked to select from a list of 12 issues the most important one to them personally, the results were 35.1 percent "the jobs and economy," 24.3 percent "the size and role of the federal government" and 21.5 percent "national debt and the deficit."
In all, 81 percent of the respondents identified one of these three issues as most important.
The new Iowa State University/Gazette/KCRG poll was compiled through phone interviews between Dec. 8 and 18, of 740 registered Republicans and 200 registered independents. Of those polled, 333 (35.4 percent) stated that they definitely or probably would attend the caucuses.
The ISU /Gazette/KCRG Poll is supported by ISU's Department of Political Science, the Department of Statistics, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, the Office of Vice President for Research and Economic Development, and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs; as well as The Gazette and KCRG-TV9.
Why Ron Paul's Racist Newsletters Matter.
This material is close to two decades old or more. It's possible the man has reformed since then. Or maybe not. So long as he consistently votes in favor of liberty, I frankly don't care what his personal views are, even if they're despicable. A vile individual who protects civil liberties is better for public office than a virtuous one who suppresses them (e.g. Obama, who recently signed a bill which subverts Constitutional due process). Heck, shrinking the "War on Drugs", as Ron Paul wishes to do, would be doing more to combat institutionalized racism than anything else in recent years.

So let me get this right. This respected peak organisation - http://www.naacp.org/ - still includes the description 'colored' but the consensus here is that it's an offensive word?
I don't think there is much of a consensus on this topic, which is not at all surprising given the topic we are discussing.
However,I think what has been good is that the discussion has been pretty much on topic without the extreme name calling that has surfaced at times in other threads.
It will be interesting to see what comments Anthony Treacher has to say when he rejoins the debate.

His friends and his dog accompany him on his many jaunts, from the stage as the Child Sir Lancelot, to the playground, to school.

BOISE -- After helping the Rocky Mountain baseball team to their first 5A state title in school history a little over week ago, senior Bryce Feist was recognized for his individual efforts on Wednesday with the highest honor a high school baseball player can receive.
Feist was named the Gatorade baseball player of the year for the state of Idaho, after hitting .471 with 44 RBI, while posting a sub-2.00 ERA and a perfect pitching record for the Grizzlies this spring.
The third baseman has signed a letter of intent to play in college at Dixie State, a Division II school in Utah.

Top-ranked UF flexed its muscle early and often Saturday before an O'Connell Center crowd of 7,137 as the Gators claimed the NCAA Gainesville Regional title to advance to this year's national championship in Los Angeles later this month.
Florida, the No. 1 regional seed, cruised to its 13th NCAA regional title overall and eighth in the last nine years under coach Rhonda Faehn with a winning score of 198.400.
The mark ranks No. 2 all-time at UF, just .025 short of the school-record 198.425 UF scored in a dual meet win over Minnesota on March 1.
In addition to the team win, Florida athletes won or shared every event title in another dominating display while the Gators set or tied their second-highest marks of the season on each of the four events.
"Tonight was absolutely incredible," Faehn said. "I was so proud of how the entire team stepped up and performed."
Leading the way was sophomore All-American Kytra Hunter who won the all-around title with a 39.775 mark and shared wins on the vault (9.95) and floor exercise (9.95).
"Everyone just stayed in their bubble, and we pushed each other whether we went first or last," said Hunter, who is the reigning NCAA all-around and vault champion. "It was a fun night tonight with the home crowd."
Hunter was one of three Gators in the all-around competition, and led a 1-2-3 finish with freshman Bridget Sloan (39.675) second and senior All-American Marissa King, who was competing in the all-around for the first time since Feb. 16, matching her collegiate-best to place third with a 39.65.
King closed out her night in style, winning the balance beam with a collegiate-best tying 9.95 and then sharing the floor title with Hunter with a winning 9.95 mark.
"It was really great to be able to do that now, especially going into NCAAs," King said. "I'm very happy to be doing all-around again."
Sloan won the uneven bars with a 9.975 that tied her collegiate-best, while Hunter and senior All-American Ashanee Dickerson shared the vault title with Minnesota's Jenny Covers and Lindsay Mable and Auburn's Bri Guy, all with matching 9.95s.
In addition, UF junior All-American Alaina Johnson, who had been sidelined with a stress fracture in her back since competing in the third meet of the year Jan. 18, returned to action and posted a 9.925 on the vault and a 9.875 on the uneven bars to help the Gators get off to a great start.
The Gators have now advanced to the NCAA Championships every year but one (2000) in the event's 32-year history (1982-present).
Joining UF in advancing was No. 2 seed Minnesota, which finished with a team score of 197.100 to edge No. 3 seed Auburn (196.70) for runner-up honors, earning the Golden Gophers their first NCAA Championship appearance since 2002.
"It feels just fantastic," Minnesota coach Meg Stephenson said. "Really from the summer, we felt like this group had what it takes to make it. I've been saying all year long they're the real deal, so it feels great to have them be rewarded."
Rounding out the scoring were No. 24 Maryland (195.575), No. 36 Pittsburgh (194.775) and No. 29 Bridgeport (194.225).
Now it's on to the NCAAs on April 19-21, when the Gators hope to make their final check mark and claim that elusive first national title.
"They all came out and they were just lights out," Faehn said of her athletes. "They were on fire in all four events, but it was not just the gymnastics, but the heart and the passion, the fighting through all the circumstances and not letting it affect their performance. It was just taking care of business."

There is no WiFi. Towels seem very old and have marks on them (that I suppose wouldn't wash out any more). our room wasn't hoovered and there was dust and hair on carpet especially around the edges and behind the door. There were light bulbs missing in light fittings in the room that they didn't provide even when we asked for them soon after we arrived.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Action News is learning more about clients of Jacksonville attorney Cynthia Nichols, who was arrested Friday and accused of grand theft and exploiting one of her elderly wards, Mary Vest, out of $100,000.
In Nichols' arrest report, Alice Lucas is also listed as a client of Nichols, who briefly stayed in a home that was purchased by Nichols with Vest's money. Police say Nichols gave her friend, Gina Bateh, permission to move into the home and make upgrades specifically for Lucas. Bateh was then paid $1,400 a week to care for her.
Lucas' grandson, Raymond Watkins, said he believed early on, that something wasn't right.
He showed Action News a letter that Nichols sent him shortly after the Lucas family contacted the attorney for help organizing their grandmother's estate.
In the letter, Nichols offers to pay Watkins a weekly salary to care for his grandmother in exchange for helping her gain guardianship.
"It basically said if you still let me be legal guardian, I'll give you the weekly paycheck," Watkins explained.
Watkins said he couldn't legally care for his grandmother at the time, and even if he could, he wouldn't have charged for it.
"Who charges $1,400 a week to look after your own grandmother?" he said.
That was the first red flag, Watkins said, but his attempts to prevent Nichols from obtaining legal guardianship failed.
Watkins said the court awarded Nichols complete control over Lucas' finances, and over the next 18 months, he believes $250,000 disappeared from his grandmother's estate.
Watkins said his family's suspicions grew when Nichols moved Lucas into the home owned by Vest, but he says he ran out of money fighting Nichols in court.
"She was using my grandmother's money to fight me and my sister. How frustrating, and there's nothing you can do about it."
Watkins said at the time of his grandmother's death, she was devastated.
"She saved every dime, scared to death her whole life she was going to end up in a nursing home, and it didn't matter. She ended up in a nursing home."
He said he's coming forward to speak now not for the money, but because he wants someone held accountable.
"I want really for her to not be able to do somebody else's family like this."
Mary Vest passed away in November after, her family tells Action News, they fought Nichols to regain guardianship and take control of the home Nichols is accused of purchasing with Vest's money. They say Gina Bateh was forced to move.
Action News also spoke to Nichols' attorney Robert Willis, who encourages people to presume his client is innocent. He said he is working to access documentation of her clients' files, which were seized by investigators last week, so he can answer our questions. Willis said, based on what he knows so far, he believes he's in position to prove her innocence.

I just got honeycomb fabric to cover a lampshade! How timely.
There are 8", 10.5", and 13" white honeycomb vases at Target:
http://www.target.com/p/threshold-153-honeycomb-vase-white/-/A-14493630#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink , all under $20.
Or just search threshold honeycomb vase. They also have honeycomb shower curtains in three colors and a rug in shades of olive.
Yay! I love honeycombs. I put a few packs of the honefloss mirrors from IKEA on my bedroom wall at home, and I love them. When the curtains and sheers are pulled back it reflects a beautiful view and bounces the light around. I looooove how it looks at sunset when all the vibrant colors in the sky reflect from the mirrors. I also use them at school (I'm a college student) since they can be adhered to the wall without a nail.
You do know this can trigger people who suffer from Trypophobia?
I did this a few years ago. I don't know if you are able to see it.
I have matte black honeycomb tiles (white grout) on my bathroom floor, they make me happy.

USA September 9, 2012
On September 9th, The Yoga Aid World Challenge will kick off in Australia and "follow the sun" to Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Kenya, England, South Africa, Canada, and ending in the US. MC Yogi will perform at both the Opening Event in Sydney and the Closing Event in Los Angeles.
This is the first-ever, one day, around the world yoga tour, and yogis from all over are invited to join. Each event will be about 2 hours and feature the premier teachers in your community. At a number of our larger events, some of the most internationally renowned and influential yogis will lead the Challenge. Teachers who were involved in past year's Yoga Aid Challenges include: Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Baron Baptiste, Duncan Wong, Ana Forrest and MC Yogi, amongst many others.
The Yoga Aid World Challenge is seeking to raise $1 million USD for charities around the world. For those looking to participate, attendance is free. We ask that you fundraise for a chosen charity leading up to and a month after the event. By extending your muscles and amplifying your inner peace, you are helping build stronger communities that have a foundation in giving.
We need your help! Take tranquility into your own hands and spread it through your community by becoming a Community Ambassador and hosting an event in your area. It is through our Community Ambassadors that this is all possible. Those who are inspired by our message and embrace it as their personal mission will help us raise enough money to reach our goal.
By organizing, hosting, and promoting hundreds of events worldwide, you allow this to be a truly global event. We provide you with all the support you need.
Have a look at what some of our 2011 Community Ambassadors have to say about their experience:
"The hardest part about being a Community Ambassador was making the decision to sign up. Yoga Aid provided all the tools and support I needed to organize and promote a successful event. The experience was more empowering and fulfilling than I ever imagined!"- Jesse D., Canada
"What an amazing experience! Being a Yoga Aid Community Ambassador was not only rewarding, but really fun! I can't wait to organize next year's challenge!"- Cheryl P., USA
If you want to take the metaphorical bull by the horns and become a Community Ambassador for your region, email us at email@example.com.
Yoga Aid began in 2006 with knowledge so beautifully summed up in MC Yogi's words: "When we live to give love, there is no greater feeling". Two yoga enthusiasts, Clive and Eriko, set out to put their yoga practice into action by creating the Yoga Aid Challenge, an international fundraising event with the dual purpose of raising funds for charity and sharing the wonderful joys of yoga. Since the first Yoga Aid Challenge, The Yoga Aid events have raised over $1.2 Million for charities throughout the world.
As they entered 2012, Clive and Eriko decided to expand the reach of The Yoga Aid. Their plan came to fruition in the form of The Yoga Aid World Challenge: a challenge uniting yogis around the world in an effort to raise $1 million for charity. It is an ambitious goal, but one that is achievable with your help!
The real people behind Yoga Aid have always been the individuals who have made this message their own - the 10,000+ yogis who have participated in a Yoga Aid Challenge, the community ambassadors who have made these events possible in more than 250 locations around the world, the teams of volunteers who have made themselves available wherever there has been a need for them and of course, the donors who have been instrumental in raising much needed funds for charity. We call this giving philosophy "Giving4Living".
Yoga Aid has developed an online fundraising vehicle hosted on this website, which is easy to use, secure, and ensures 100% of donations go straight to charity. All expenses are supported privately: Yoga Aid takes no deductions from any donations for internal administration or production of the events.
In the spirit of using the local to change the global, the charity partners we support are regionally specific, and are often smaller, community driven projects. Click on the Charities tab to find out who we are supporting this year.

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — The Riverview Psychiatric Center in Augusta is in danger of losing about $20 million in federal funding because the facility is out of compliance with federal guidelines.
This aerial photo taken on Tuesday April 30, 2013 shows The Riverview Psychiatric Center on banks of Kennbec River in Augusta. The Riverview Psychiatric Center in Augusta is in danger of losing about $20 million in federal funding because the facility is out of compliance with federal guidelines.

The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services alerted the Maine Department of Health Human Services on Wednesday that federal dollars will stop flowing to Riverview after Sept. 2. The federal reimbursement comprises more than half of the 92-bed psychiatric center's operating budget.
The issue has touched off a conflict between Gov. Paul LePage and the Democratic-controlled Legislature. The governor notified Democratic leaders about the funding cutoff through a news release issued Thursday evening. In the release, LePage blamed the Legislature for not funding his proposal to alleviate overcrowding problems at Riverview by creating a mental health ward at the Maine State Prison in Warren with forensic beds for individuals who pose a risk of serious harm to themselves or others because of mental illness.
Overcrowding and inadequate staffing to evaluate patients coming through the corrections system were among the violations cited by the federal government after the Maine Department of Health and Human Services performed an audit of the facility on March 29. According to documents provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the first violation notice sent by the federal government to Riverview arrived April 17. Subsequent notices identifying additional violations and rejections of the facility's mitigation plan were sent June 4 and July 29.
LePage's proposal, L.D. 1515, was first introduced to the Legislature on May 7 and the bill was unanimously endorsed by the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee. The proposal would have cost the state $3 million annually for about 15 new positions at the state prison.
Democratic lawmakers say they were unaware of the audit and the threat of losing federal funding until Thursday's news release. Additionally, Democratic leaders forwarded a June 25 email from DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew's legislative liaison, who asked lawmakers to carry over the bill until next session. The session begins in January, but lawmakers may return earlier to take up the governor's political appointments and, potentially, a state borrowing package.
The governor, in a written statement, urged lawmakers to take up the proposal sooner, but not before blaming them for funding other legislative priorities such as state aid to municipalities.
"Democratic leadership and certain members of the Appropriations Committee made the decision to fund other things, such as revenue sharing, while ignoring the needs of our mentally ill," LePage said. "Our Administration worked diligently to provide information to the Legislature knowing that certification and critical funding for Riverview was in jeopardy yet there was a failure to act."
On Friday, Rep. Mark Dion, D-Portland, House chairman of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, said Thursday was the first time he'd heard of the potential loss in federal funds.
The audit, and potential loss of federal funding, were not mentioned in any of the written testimony presented with L.D. 1515, according to legislative records.
Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, acknowledged in a statement sent Thursday that the issue is serious.
"I will be calling the governor to address this issue in the morning," said Alfond. "Now is not the time for partisan politics. We should move quickly to make sure we take care of our mentally ill and ensure public safety."

David Eugene Edwards, the enigmatic frontman and visionary for 16 Horsepower, began recording under the Woven Hand moniker while Horsepower was on hiatus in 2001. (The name "Woven Hand" references two hands clasped in prayer, an image that points to the consistent theme of Christianity in Edwards' music.) Building on the same stylistic threads that informed 16 Horsepower -- e.g., incendiary gospel, hallowed folk, and mordant tones infused with a high, dark theatricality worthy of Nick Cave -- Edwards began working on the material at home in Denver, where he recorded, produced, and played on most of the album by himself. Later, he pulled in guitarist Steve Taylor (also of 16 Horsepower) to help flesh out the compositions. The self-titled project was initially released on the German label Glitterhouse; it was then issued in the U.S. on Sounds Familyre in early 2003. Along with a parcel of Edwards' original compositions, the album also included a knee-buckling take on Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone." That same year, Edwards set to work on Blush Music, a set of compositions created for a modern dance company in Belgium. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi

Beer, beer, beer!!
The tunasteak is incredible! And with their beer selection, this can be a fisherman's paradise!
so average – The food and ambiance are so tired. The tuna is frozen and boring. I asked for it rare and it came medium .
Amazing Tunasteak! – Tuna Steak is amazing
By David - May 31, 2010
The Tuna Steak is better than what you'd get near the ocean. Pete Zotos is the owner, and one of the friendliest, more contentious people I know. Great cocktails, warm people and good food...especially that dad gum Tuna Steak...love it
The place is uber-cool, indoors and out on the patio: it could easily pass for a business lunch/dinner place as well as friends hang-out, cool bar for casual gatherings, and friendly patio (when It's not 100 degrees outside of course).Beer selection is amazing (skip the silly samplers and go directly to the full menu!), with an extensive menu the choices are varied. They also have a full bar and many beers/ales/ciders on tap to enjoy. Hard to pick out only one of my reccommendations on the menu. You tell ME! What's your choice at St PETES? .
Best Patio in Deep Ellum! – We went to this grill in Deep Ellum for the first time this weekend and had the BEST time. It's a great hang out for happy hour or late night as well. We had the general Bar food but in addition tried their seafood and have to tell you, it's pretty darn good. So good time, good service and great patio in Deep Ellum!
Patio time!!!!!!!!! Deep Ellums coolist spot! – If you are looking for a good game at a old fashioned LOOONG wooden bar, St. Petes in Deep Ellum is the place to go. If you are looking for the best darn hamburger you have ever had in Dallas, St Peats in Deep Ellum is the place to go. If you are looking for the coolest patio to hang out with your friend at and enjoy a great happy hour, St. Petes in Deep Ellum is the place to go. If you are looking for live Music on Saturday and Friday Nights, yup you guessed it, St. Petes in Deep Ellum is THE PLACE TO GO. So what are you waiting for? A recommendation ? go go go now and have some fun at one of the oldest and best establishments in Deep Ellum today!
Love love love this Bar/Restaurant! – I went to Pete's yesterday and let me tell you… this place is GREAT! We were asking about his 6 NEW HUGE tv's and this bar in Deep Ellum is ready for football! He also said if we picked a tv, he would put on any game we wanted! Now that is service! Not to be stopped at just GREAT SERVICE , the owner went in back and produced the best hamburger I have had in a long time. I took some pictures so you could see the inside so you can try out this non sports bar that is the best sports bar in Deep Ellum. Really, this is a MUST visit. They have a tuna sandwich that is fantastic as well. Give Pete's a try, I think you too will discover your new burger, sandwich, sports bar, game on, friendly neighborhood bar/ restaurant!
BEWARE!! EATING HERE WILL COST YOU $100.00 EXTRA FOR PARKING. – BEWARE! Didn't have a chance to eat. Parking lot scammers booted my car the minute I walked away to get change. $100.00 fine. BEWARE!
A good place for the most part. – The food was super. Nothing at all wrong with the food. The people were very nice also. The only problem we had with the place is that there was this loud mouth drunk at the bar. He was a UT fan. And he let everybody know it. We may go back when we come back in town. You wouldn't think he would be there drunk all the time now would you.
Best Tuna, Burgers,Pasta and Pizza – If your tired of places where they do not take care of you then GO to St Petes. They made me feel like family and everything on the menu was excellent.

Members of Ladder Company 138 today will be reunited with the three young girls they rescued from a second-alarm fire in Jackson Heights, Queens in December 2004. In total, 16 civilians were rescued from this blaze. Members of Ladder 138 raised money and purchased gifts for the young girls who lost both their parents in this tragic fire. The girls, whose ages range from 7 to 3-years-old, suffered severe burns and other critical injuries.

The sound in my headphones is not correct when I use it in a normal stereo headphone output, or use an adapter plug from 3,5 mm to 6.3 mm jack. I have headphones with remote control and microphone for iPhone on the cable.
Please note that all headphones with 4-pole jack may produce sound that is in mono, is out of phase or is otherwise distorted, if they are connected to ordinary stereo headphone outputs. 4-pole jack headphones are made to control iPhones or other smartphones, to permit phone conversations through the microphone as well as remote controlling of the telephone with the remote buttons, all built into the cable. You usually have to purchase an adapter cable to use them with other stereo sources. This adapter converts the 4-pole male 3.5 mm jack into a 3-pole male 3,5mm jack.

Kathy Burrington, Serenity Holidays' Graphic Designer and member of the School Development Fund team in the UK keeps you up to date with their latest projects in both The Gambia and the UK. We are keen to promote twinning between schools in the UK and Thee Gambia as a way of helping both schools, not simply through donations, but by improving cultural awareness.
Kathy Burrington, our in-house graphic designer and keen photographer keeps you up to date with our latest School Development Fund initiatives.
Having travelled to The Gambia, both on holiday and on business on numerous occasions I have taken the opportunity to visit many schools in The Gambia and the range of facilities can be staggering. I was recently shown into a classroom where I discovered row after row of working computer stations which was a pleasant surprise when you consider some schools struggle to find enough rickety chairs and benches for the pupils let alone desks and they certainly don't have a computer or even electricity to run one even if they could get their hands on one! Yet even the most well equipped school that I have seen in The Gambia has very little compared to schools here in the UK.
The Gambia Experience's School Development Fund has been running since 1989 and in that time has helped over 100 schools in a variety of projects.
Earlier this year the fund donated over £6,000 split between 5 schools across The Gambia. Most of these projects are now completed including a new kitchen at Kabafita Upper Basic School, the renovation of staff quarters at Pakalinding Lower Basic School and 60 new tables and benches at Niani Senior Secondary School. Further information can be found on our website. Since then, together with our clients, we have raised enough to fund two more projects: building a library at Jeddah Lower Basic School, Brikama and a desperately needed toilet block and well at Buduk Lower Basic School in the Central River Division. The well will not only provide safe drinking water for the children but it will also provide hygienic washing facilities.
Further funds are now being raised to build a wall to stop vehicles using the school grounds, at Sinchu Gundo, as a thoroughfare and to stop animals destroying their extensive vegetable gardens.
However, financial assistance is just one way to help schools in The Gambia and the School Developement Fund team have recently been investigating other ways to offer support. We are keen to promote links or twinning between schools in the UK (initially close to our office in Hampshire) and The Gambia as we believe it is a way of helping both British and Gambian schools, not simply through donations but by improving cultural awareness.
We will initially be looking at assisting the UK schools by providing information packs on The Gambia, giving presentations on education and living conditions and holding talks at PTA or governor meetings. For further information on school twinning please contact Katie Bushnell at email@example.com or on 0845 330 2076.

While on terminal leave, you must remain enrolled in your Prime option to ensure you remain fit for discharge until your separation or retirement date. If you have any changes in your medical status, you are required to report it to your transition point personnel and your TRICARE Prime enrollment site, either the military hospital or clinic or if you have a civilian PCM, the Reserve and Service Member Support Office, (R&SMSO), Great Lakes. If enrolled in TRICARE Prime Remote, R&SMSO is your point of contact.
You can get care in any military hospital or clinic regardless of your Service affiliation or enrollment location. You continue to have the first priority for care over all other beneficiary categories.
You must have a referral and authorization from your enrollment site (military hospital or clinic or R&SMSO). Contact the R&SMSO at 1-888-647-6676.
Routine medical care is only authorized as part of your active health care needs and must be pre-planned and pre-authorized collaboratively with your military hospital or clinic or R&SMSO. Contact the R&SMSO at 1-888-647-6676.
If you live near a VA medical facility while on terminal leave, you may get routine or urgent care at that facility. As TRICARE network providers, the VA follows TRICARE rules so a referral and authorization is required. You (the active duty service member) must coordinate with your military hospital or clinic or R&SMSO (whichever is applicable), who will issue a single pre-authorization to the appropriate regional contractor for you to get routine or urgent outpatient care from the VA facility. The period covered by this preauthorization will be the entire anticipated span of the terminal leave period. The military hospital or clinic or R&SMSO will send the pre-authorization to the regional contractor before you leave your final duty station to begin terminal leave. The pre-authorization will not include authorization for any non-VA care.
If you are remaining overseas on terminal leave and you need urgent care in the overseas civilian network, you must have a referral and authorization for each episode of care from the military hospital or clinic where you are enrolled or from to from the TRICARE Overseas Program contractor, International SOS.
If traveling or returning to the United States while on terminal leave, you should contact International SOS for a referral and authorization to a TRICARE-authorized provider. Contact your Regional Call Center toll-free from the United States for assistance:

The Fork Union football team would usually still be at home this time of season.
But there the Blue Devils were, opening training camp Tuesday night a full six days earlier than usual, all in preparation for the team's opener August 25th against Hermitage, a game set to be nationally televised on ESPNU.
FUMA coach Mickey Sullivan hasn't been shy about his excitement in seeing his team on the national stage, even if the early clash moves camp a bit earlier than he would like.
Still, the veteran Blue Devils coach couldn't deny his players the opportunity of a lifetime.
"it's just a great opportunity for a bunch of young guys. It's like I told the families this morning, they'll be tied together forever. This is the first time this has ever happened and it will be something they remember the rest of their lives," Sullivan said.
Undoubtedly one of the key drawing points for ESPN towards having Fork Union in the game was senior quarterback Christian Hackenberg, who the network's high school recruiting division has ranked as the top signal caller in the nation.
Hackenberg joins his teammates in their excitement of the game but credits the Blue Devils before him for the opportunity.
"I credit it to a lot of the teams before us who established a tradition at Fork Union and we're just the lucky bunch who actually get to go do it so I'm looking forward to it," he said. "It's going to be a great opportunity and great exposure for a lot of these guys and you know, just have fun."

KG okay either way with potential All-star bid
|Posted by shawn cassidy on January 17, 2013 at 6:30 AM
The starting lineups for the All-Star Game will be announced tonight, and Kevin Garnett is positioned for a 15th trip to the greatest weekend of the year. KG missed last years All-Star game after the Celtics were slow out of the gates 15-17.
"If it happens, then obviously I'm more than gracious," said Garnett. "If it doesn't, I will definitely take advantage of the break."
Asked about last year's respite from his annual All-Star pilgrimage, Garnett smiled and repeated, "It was great," four times. When a reporter jokingly asked if the downtime was great, Garnett said it twice more, adding an expletive to hammer home his feelings on the final declaration.
What did Garnett do with his downtime last year?
"I did nothing," he said. "Played with my kid. I did what I wanted to do. I actually was surrounded by friends and family and it was great."
Garnett did acknowledge that being voted in by the fans would be an accomplishment, particularly at age 36.
"You don't put yourself there," said Garnett. "Everything's voted on and any time you can say that you've been playing for countless years and the fans still appreciate you for what you do, that says a lot."
As for potentially locking horns with the likes of Anthony after their bus-side dust-up in New York earlier this month, Garnett downplayed it all.
"You have time to plan for it and, you know with All-Star, if you've been there before you know that when you come there, it's to come together as a conference and actually have guys into it, enjoy it," said Garnett. "So you take a back seat to all the competitive juices. Obviously, after the game you kind of turn it back on. But other than that, you set aside all the things that go on throughout an 82[-game season] and come in and try to enjoy each other for three or four days."
I'm sure KG doesn't care either way. It's a win-win situation. Family time, or maybe your last All-Star game. I think it would be great support for Rondo having KG, because Pierce is not a for sure All-Star this season.

Topeka, Kansas
Screams surround me. I close my eyes and imagine myself among them. But the brush of my fingertips against the flat-screen televisions on either side of me at the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site jolts my brief reflection back to the present.
The televisions are looping black-and-white video footage of a tragic time that it would be easier to forget. I am horrified, but can't turn away from the screen, as police dogs rip into a black man's leg and a black man hangs from a tree. The anguished screams are the heartbreaking soundtrack.
This Hall of Courage sends some visitors scurrying for the exit. But most spend a few hours in this brown brick building (a former all-black school reopened as a museum in 2004) to learn how a 1954 Supreme Court decision served as the domino that knocked down generations of "separate but equal" laws.
Two signs, "White" and "Colored," stun visitors walking through the front door. A 25-minute film running in the refurbished gymnasium explores how segregation began and how blacks have fought for equal rights since the 1780s. Touch-screen monitors show how the Brown case affected politics, economics and national security. Headphones channel protest songs, including Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" and Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A'Changin'." A bulletin board includes current newspaper clips relating to Brown's legacy, which reaches across the globe. One look at the site's wall-size photo of Nelson Mandela and his sunny smile of triumph is enough to remind visitors how Brown inspired many to persevere for equality.
"If you think about it, we all benefited from Brown. It's not just about civil rights anymore. It's about human rights," says Nichole McHenry, a National Park Service ranger. "Who's to say if Brown had not happened where we would be today?"
