Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Audience embraces Monheit's honeyed voice, humour
Concert Review
Jane Monheit
Winnipeg International Jazz Festival
Burton Cummings Theatre
June 21, 2013
Attendance: 400
Jane Monheit has a voice like honey and she's funny; what more could you ask for in a jazz singer.
Add a love for good lyrics and a tight trio, and the singer puts on a great show of often emotional, sometimes swinging songs interspersed with witty anecdotes and self-deprecating humour.
Monheit is the real deal: A singer who can wring every bit of emotion out of a song, making you believe she has lived the story the lyrics tell.
Her rendition of the Beatles' Golden Slumbers/The Long and Winding Road from her latest album, The Heart of the Matter, was so emotional, so poignant, she could have brought tears to your eyes.
Then she eases the tension with a funny line, a laugh, a flip of her hair and she and the audience are ready for another tune.
And there were a lot of good tunes: a smoky rendition of Mel Tormé's Born to be Blue; Buffy Ste. Marie's Until It's Time For You To Go, sung as a lament by a mother losing her little boy to adulthood; and Depende de Nós and A Gente Merece Ser Feliz by Brazilian composer Ivan Lins.
Before singing Depende, Monheit asked if anyone in the audience spoke Portuguese. When no one answered yes, she laughed and said "No? It's my lucky day." And went on to claim her Portuguese was impeccable.
Her stage patter was amusing, it showed off her personality and the contrast highlighted the emotional depths of her singing.
She and her working band have the kind of rapport built from long hauls on the road and hours in the recording studio; a situation that is harder to find in jazz today.
Monheit is accompanied by Michael Kanan, a delicate pianist who does a lot of arranging for the band, bassist Neil Miner and drummer Rick Montalbano, who does double duty as her husband and father to their five-year-old son who travels with the band.
It's a pleasure to hear such an expressive singer with such command of her musical instrument; one who drips honey when she sings.

You Are The One
Adopted from femmefatale2. One of the authors gracious enough not to just delete their fanfics people enjoy and allowed me to adopt it so people can enjoy.
Story Start
''Ben be careful!'' Gwen cried out as she used mana to shield herself from the enemy's attack as she quickly stole a glance at her cousin. Ben was of course in the form of one of his more commonly used aliens named Jet-ray who was firing eye beams at their enemy the DNAliens.
Ben glanced up to acknowledge her, but didn't have a chance to reply as a fresh horde of DNAliens charged at him. Sheesh. Aren't these…uh…creatures ever gonna stop coming? Just how big is their army, anyway? With a quick dodge, he evaded a group of aliens charging straight for him, meaning to swaddle him with their slimy stuff. Never knew fighting aliens could be this dirty. He looked over at Gwen once again. Well…at least Gwen has it better.
Gwen was currently firing out a mass of purple energy at a group of DNAliens, knocking them flat to the ground.' But not for long,' she thought ruefully. She espied a few more DNAliens charging for her. Too tired out to blast at them again, she just surrounded herself with a protective shield, waiting for them to come near, after which she'd make her move.
Strangely, the DNAliens seemed to be moving rather slowly.'Weird,' she thought. 'But then, maybe it's not just me this battle is tiring out. ' She snuck a glance at Kevin, who had absorbed something which had turned him into a curious teal color, braving it out against the DNAliens. She didn't feel like calling out to him, and advising him to be careful too. She felt as if even uttering a sound from her lips would drain whatever energy she had left. She took a deep breath, and turned forward, apprehending that by now, the DNAliens must have almost reached her. But astonishingly, the group of aliens she had seen charging for her a couple of minutes ago, now seemed to be nowhere in sight. Huh?
"Hey Gwen, you okay?" Jetray called out to her from above.
"Hmm?" She looked upward at Ben. "Yeah, I'm ok…but those aliens…they just sort of…"
"Vanished?" he finished her sentence.
"Yeah…but how'd you—" Suddenly, she put two and two together. "Oh, so you finished them off!"
Ben grinned. "When should I come in handy, 'cuz?" With a quick wink, he was off.
A small smile escaped Gwen's lips. Trust Ben to come to her help. And she hadn't even asked for it. But then, she should have known this, shouldn't she?
"Gwen! What're you grinning like that for? Get back to finishing off those multitudes!"
…And trust Kevin to always ruin her good mood.
"Yeah, yeah," she droned, getting back to 'finishing off the multitudes'.
Not that were many left anymore, though. Ben had annihilated most of them, with just a few still remaining.
Within a couple of minutes more, the entire group of DNAliens had been exterminated.
"Phew," said Ben, landing on the ground beside Gwen, and turning back to his human form. "That wasn't so hard, was that?"
"Speak for yourself, Tennyson," said Kevin, rolling his eyes. "Not all of us have the power of taking to the air."
"Jealous, Kev?"
Kevin grunted, but made no reply. He turned towards Gwen. "You okay?"
Gwen nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks to Ben." She turned to Ben, and gave him a warm smile. Then she turned towards Kevin. "And thanks to you too. Though you were too busy exerting your muscle power to care for what I was doing!" she added mischievously.
"Shame on you, Kevin. Putting your own selfish needs before Gwen!" said Ben, feigning disdain.
"Tennyson, how dare—"
"Quit it, you two!" Gwen spoke up, interrupting them before they could break out in another argument...again. "Seriously, you don't need any concrete reason to get into an argument, do you?"
"Ask that to him," replied both Ben and Kevin in unison, glowering at each other.
'Oh, c'mon!" Gwen linked her arms with both boys on either side of her. "It doesn't really matter, does it? We just won a hard-hitting battle! Cheer up, guys!"
"Oh so? Do you really think you won the battle?"
The sudden harsh voice made the three of them stop in their tracks. Slowly, they turned around. They turned a trifle pale at the sight that met their eyes.
On top of a hillock, not far away, stood the Highbreed Commander, accompanied by an enormous horde of DNAliens.
"We just finished off an entire swarm of those creatures," said Kevin boldly, stepping forward. "Do you think another fresh lot's gonna stop us? Think of those poor fellows, dude. You still have time – back off."
Ben and Gwen exchanged a glance. Both had exactly the same thought on their minds. Did Kevin really think he could scare the Highbreed and his entourage off?
The Highbreed Commander laughed deviously. "Do you really think you can scare us off?"
The two cousins exchanged another glance. Exactly our point.
Without further uttering anything, the High breed gave the signal to his army to come down on the trio.
As the three got ready to face the oncoming horde, Gwen couldn't help letting out a little sigh. Looks like the battle is far from over…

Susan Boyle Bids To Win 'Talent' Final
Now, however, her story is also being cast as a cautionary tale after Boyle threatened to quit the show due to pressure.
"She's been in tears repeatedly," Piers Morgan, one of the show's judges, told "Inside Edition" in an interview aired in the United States on Thursday.
"And, as of yesterday, she was packing her bags."
In his blog, Morgan wrote: "Let me tell you now, there is a downside to fame. People start criticizing you, sniping at you, trying to trip you up, belittle you, harass you."
He said Boyle had learning difficulties after being deprived of oxygen at birth, and was nicknamed "Simple Susan" at school.
"I am calling today for everyone to just give her a break."
Both of Britain's main tabloid newspapers dedicated their front pages to Boyle on Friday, focusing on what they said was her erratic behavior and concerns among executives at ITV, the channel which airs the show, over her ability to cope.
Susan's brother John told the Sun: "Celebrities have professional people who insulate them from these stresses, but she hasn't had this protection. The show's producers should have been looking after her more."
ITV would be reluctant to axe Boyle from Saturday's final, with her success contributing to bumper ratings figures and advertising windfalls.
Boyle's semifinal on Sunday was watched by an average of 11.8 million viewers over 90 minutes, or 49 percent of the total television audience during the same period.
The audience rose to 13.2 million on Monday and 12.7 million on Tuesday, according to media reports, which also estimated advertising revenue from the five semifinals and final reaching nearly 20 million pounds ($32 million).
Other performers through to the final include singing act "2 Grand", comprising 76-year-old John Neill and 12-year-old Sallie Lax, and father-and-son comedy dance duo "Stavros Flatley".

This mascara-like product is supposed to be used to tint lashes and brows—which it does well. The downside is that the "Hypercolor" collection is limited to bright colors, and available only in pink, purple, and blue. If you want to enhance your lashes and brow with this kind of color it takes only one or two coats to get the shades to show up on even the darkest lashes and brows.
Aside from the limited shade range, the only other downside is that this product hardens and some flaking may occur, especially on brows that require more product to groom them. A light application works best, but you won't see as much unconventional color.
Used as a mascara, it has issues similar to many other bright-hued options: It doesn't perform as well as standard (black) mascara. Specifically, it doesn't give volumizing or lengthening perks, but it does deliver on the color claim much better than most other colored mascaras.
This product also requires some work to remove it, and removal tends to be messier than with traditional mascara. Use warm water and a silicone-based eye-makeup remover to take it off.
Anastasia Beverly Hills At-a-Glance
Strengths: Specialized brow products; top-notch brow powders with an impressive shade range; great brow pen and tinted brow gel; one excellent powder blush; good brushes and products for taming unruly brows; a couple good starter kits for those new to brow grooming.
Weaknesses: Expensive; horrible brow pencil; some of the kits mix really bad products with good ones; mediocre skin care; subpar mascara; the lip gloss is merely OK; products that don't live up to their claims (though that's hardly unique to this line).
The Anastasia Beverly Hills product line was developed by "definitive eyebrow expert" Anastasia Soare, a woman who owns a chic Beverly Hills salon. Her namesake product line is built around specialty brow products and shaping tools based on her criteria. Although she has expanded the line to include skin-care and other makeup items, the brow products remain the heart of the line; the skin care seems to be little more than an afterthought.
What sets the Anastasia line apart is the wide selection of brow-grooming products and their impressive shade range for natural-looking brows. Overall, the line is a mixture of both good and bad products, at a relatively high price point. We were expecting to find great brow pencils from a line devoted to perfecting the eyebrow, but Anastasia failed miserably with their extremely hard-textured Perfect Brow Pencil.
Their skin-care products also rank low in terms of efficacy and high in terms of misleading claims, and the mascara misses the mark completely. There are a few so-so makeup products you can ignore, and some of the brow kits have a frustrating mix of good products and awful products.
On the flip side, what's great about Anastasia Beverly Hills are their fabulous brow powders, good brushes, brow-taming products, and some helpful products such as Brow Fix, Brow Pen, and Tinted Brow Gel. They also have a beautiful Blush Quad and a couple of good highlighter pencils. Many of the products cater to those who are new to brow shaping (including a brow stencil set), and, depending on your local department store, you may even be able to schedule an appointment with an Anastasia brow specialist who can show you the way, following the namesake company founder's famous Golden Ratio.

Anyone grow hot peppers?
Just wondering what people grow for hot peppers here in maine. Wanted to know what grows best for hot to super hots?
This is my first year growing peppers. Got anaheim, jalapeno m, slim cayenne, Hungarian wax, Serrano, a couple habaneros, and one unknown small hot pepper.
Also wanted to know whenpeople put them outside. If you grow in the ground, raised beds, or buckets. Soil used? Fertilizer? Anything anyone want to share...
I stayed away from hot peppers this year, although I was tempted to try some pepperoncinis from Burpee's. I do like a couple of those in a salad.
Back in my Air Force days (the mid-Seventies, when I was *young* and foolish), I tried some Thai peppers, and those were HOT, but I don't know if they'd grow in Maine. Hot peppers and Thai cuisine are pretty much synonymous, at least in certain regions, but it might be better if I passed those up now.
I'm going with three varieties of sweet peppers this year, probably in some kind of upside-down planter. Good luck with your habaneros and other kinds.
I am growing a number of hot peppers this year, and have in previous years. I do fairly well with them. I am quite north in Maine so i put out the ones that can be covered with hoop covers a number of weeks ago but the ones that cannot be actually went out this week. I grow them in the ground, (though of course start indoors). this year i am using basic amended soil in a raised bed. Probably will side dress with some compost. I sometimes use the epsom salt trick to help them with setting.
I Love hot food and they are a huge part of my salsa garden, looking towards trying some more unusual peppers as well.

Thanks for the warning. I have a feeling it's not very easy to track down what minerals are in my DME. I'll probably try brewing with whatever local spring water they sell at the supermarket around here before I jump all the way to distilled water. Maybe it'll lower the mineral content enough to not have that aftertaste.
Well I bought about 6 gallons of distilled water and I guess I'm just gonna give it a try. The spring water available locally doesn't seem ideal and I had no idea where to find the store brand water online. At least I'll know if the taste is water related. Wish me luck! I'm brewing a recipe from Papazian's book "Whitey's Gone Fishin' Pale Ale".
6lbs light DME
1oz Amarillo hops (boiling)
3/4oz French Strisselspalt (flavor)
1/2oz Sterling (aroma)
White Labs English Ale Yeast WL002
Actually, if possible, it would be useful if people could enter their waters mineral profile into the calculator here Brewing Water Chemistry Calculator | Brewer's Friend and report back what the Sulphate : Chloride ratio, Alkalinity and SRM, and Estimated pH results are at the bottom.
It would also be useful to have this information for both non adjusted and adjusted water, and for water used in beers with and without the bitterness.
I would have to look up my adjusted water profiles at home, but I can give the results of my water out of the tap:
Sulphate : Chloride ratio highly bitter
Alkalinity and SRM pale beer (0-50 ppm Alkalinity)
Estimated pH pH = 5.84, residual alkalinity = 25.37
I am also wondering if carbon filtration effects the mineral profile...

Me: Wait? I remember you used to play with them. You did that on purpose?
Matt: Yeah. I'd bring them from across the room to where you could see, and then I'd play with them.
Me: I actually remember that. I remember actually having a conversation with one of my friends going all, "Aww, look how cute Matt is with those kids! He's gonna be such a good dad!"
Matt: See? It worked.
Me: Is there any part of our relationship that's not based on lies?
And to round out this hodgepodge (see: half-assed) blog post, here's a pic I found on Matt's phone that he took several months ago. Because our dogs are devious little monsters, we've got dog gates up everywhere. And since I'm one of those people who refuses to make two trips for anything, including dinner, I've become a level 24 Waitress in my own home. However, when dog gates block my path, Matt chooses to take pictures of me instead of assisting.

text: Administration Trade Groups Object to Money Market Fund Regulations By PLANSPONSOR staff email@example.com | August 22, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article August 22, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Thirteen trade associations filed a comment letter with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), outlining objections to a proposal that would increase regulation on money market funds. The SEC is proposing changes to the regulation of funds, including requiring the funds to abandon the stable $1 net asset value (NAV) in favor of a floating value, as well as combining significant capital requirements with holdback restrictions on redemptions. The requirements would cause administrative difficulties for retirement plan administrators and fiduciaries, the groups contended, and fundamentally alter the structure of money market funds, making them far less desirable for retirement savers and the plans in which they participate. If passed, defined benefit (DB) plan fiduciaries may exit money market funds that are subject to redemption holdbacks because the funds would no longer meet the plans' needs for ready liquidity. Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciaries would be required to examine these changes in light of their fiduciary duty to plans and participants. The proposal under consideration would require that held back or restricted shares be used to make the fund whole if a fund cannot maintain its $1 NAV. Under ERISA, however, shares "held back" or restricted would continue to be considered ERISA plan assets. It is not clear that an ERISA fiduciary could allow the plan's assets to be invested under these conditions consistent with regulatory requirements associated with the management of plan assets under ERISA. Recordkeeping and administration complications could arise, the groups pointed out. Financial intermediaries are often responsible for the applicable recordkeeping, communications, tax reporting, and other operational and servicing functions associated with retirement plans. To implement floating values or redemption restrictions, intermediaries would need to change thousands of systems that support broker/dealers, banks, insurance companies, trusts, 401(k) recordkeepers, or other institutions tasked with processing money market fund transactions for their clients.

Banks in the UAE demand mortgage law changes
The country's biggest bank has urged a rethink of the Central bank's plan to cap local and expatriate mortgages reports. The National Amid a property industry backlash, National Bank of Abu Dhabi(NBAD) said it was surprised with the "sudden decision".
The Central Bank's plan appears to have created confusion in the market. A note from Bank of America Merrill Lynch to clients this week said: "We have spoken to mortgage departments of a few banks who are all seeking clarity from the [Central Bank] … this is likely to have an immediate impact on mortgage lending going into the new year."
NBAD, which has a market capitalisation above AED39 billion ($10.61bn), and other lenders were taken by surprise this week when the central bank introduced loan to value limits on mortgages.
"We were not part of this decision making," said Abdullah Al Otaiba, the senior general manager of domestic banking at NBAD.
"We would like to understand what is the benefit of such a decision in a market that is about to recover."
Under the Central Bank's new plan, expatriates would only be able to borrow up to 60 per cent for the first house and 50 per cent for any further properties, while UAE nationals could borrow up to 70 per cent for the first house, and 60 per cent after that.
The plan to cap mortgages is part of a wider reform that will distinguish ordinary home purchases from buy-to-let investments. House prices soared before the market collapsed in late 2008. Speculators buying and selling property beyond their means were partly blamed for the collapse.
"The regulations aim to protect both lenders and consumers' rights," a UAE Central Bank said this week. The regulator was unavailable for comment yesterday.
The Central Bank's move comes as bad loan provisions declined for the first time since the Dubai property crisis, and amid a delay in new regulations to cap lending to government and government-related entities. Provisions fell to AED65.3bn at the end of October, from AED65.4bn in September, according to statistics provided by the Central Bank in December.
The Central Bank postponed a decision to curb government lending after the country's two biggest banks, Emirates NBD and NBAD, did not meet the September deadline to comply with the new rules.
The latest decision by the Central Bank is expected to impact the broader banking and mortgage market, bankers and brokers said.
The rule change is "a massive deal", said Mario Volpi, the head of residential sales and leasing at Cluttons in Dubai. "In the short term, it means that people won't buy. People thinking about buying will have to pay larger deposits."
Investors who buy properties with cash would benefit. "They will start bargaining a little harder with the seller," Mr Volpi said.
Sellers at first will not come down but as weeks become months they will do. Cash is king for now.

Budget Review 2010 Highlights N e w s U p d a t e : 2 0 1 0 A Y e a r o f A c t i o n 17 February 2010 • Budget signals new approach with focus on employment creation • Economic growth rate raised to 2.3% this year from 1.5% forecast in October • There will be no increase in the tax burden and no change to inflation targeting. • Facilitate investing in Shari'ah compliant products • R846bn to be spent on infrastructure over next three years Overview Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan delivered his first Budget on 17 February. He projected that government spending will increase by 9.3% to R818bn in the 2009/10 fiscal year considerably below the 17.7% increase seen in the 2009/10 fiscal year. Revenue growth was expected to rebound to a 12.6% increase to R643bn after falling by 6.1% to R571bn compared with the February 2009 projection of a 5.2% rise to R643bn. The fiscal deficit to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio is therefore expected to ease to 6.5% in 2010/11 from 7.2% in 2009/10. The rebound in global economic growth means that the Treasury has increased the expected economic growth rates for this calendar year to 2.3% from the 1.5% forecast in October last year. Part of the reason for the higher growth is an increase in fixed investment after the Soccer World Cup with the Treasury forecasting a 5.8% rise this year after a 4.0% gain last year. This increase is supported by the government and public enterprises' (such as Eskom) infrastructure spending of R846bn over the next three fiscal years. To ease the burden on local financial markets, some 40% of the public enterprises' borrowing requirement will be funded offshore from multilateral institutions such as the World Bank and export credit agencies. The Budget provided more relief for the poor in terms of the social security net and food programmes such as school feeding with the child grant rising by R10 to R250 per month and the pension grant by R70 to R1 080 per month. Social grants now cover 14 million people of which 9.4 million are children. A further 2 million will be added over the next three years. There was also R6.5bn in tax relief, which is half of last year's R13bn. Investing in Shari'ah compliant products Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said regulation 28 of the Pension Fund Act, which sets prudential guidelines for pension funds so that they are well balanced, will be amended to facilitate investing in Shari'ah compliant products. Oasis has been actively involved in discussions with Treasury over several years in this regard and all our investment products are regulation 28 compliant. The definitions of investment products will be aligned to ensure consistency with other financial services legislation and will cover sukuks and Shari'ah compliant income instruments. Spending Proposals Education remains the main priority of the government and receives R165.1bn. This will allow the department to expand the coverage of no fee schools from 40% to 60%. The Further Education and Training (FET) colleges' budget will shift from the provinces to the national department. A further R1.3bn will be allocated to improve the salaries of FET college educators. To address poor delivery at local government level, community development receives 20.4% more with the allocation for this department now R44.1bn, while water supply gets a 7.7% increase to R28.7bn and housing development a 11.2% rise to R20.4bn. Youth unemployment will be tackled via a wage subsidy through a cash reimbursement using the SARS payroll tax platform. Treasury estimates that 800 000 youth will qualify for this subsidy. The Budget provides for an additional R5.4bn for HIV prevention and cure with the number of people receiving anti-retroviral therapy increasing to 2.1 million in 2012/13 from 920 000 currently and only 15 311 in 2004. Various monitoring units will be set up to ensure efficiency of increased govern- ment spending, while the Treasury has identified R25.6bn that can be saved in government spending. The impact on you The tax threshold for individuals younger than 65 will be raised to R57 000 from R54 200, while for individuals 65 or older it will be increased to R88 528 from R84 200. The annual exemption on interest earned for individuals younger than 65 years is raised to R22 300 from R21 000. The exemption for individuals older than 65 years increases to R32 000 from R30 000. Excise taxes on cigarettes increase by 16.1%. On 7 April the fuel levy on petrol increases by 10c/l, which is less than half last year's 23 c/l rise. The Road Accident Fund levy increases by 8c/l compared with last year's 17.5 c/l rise, while the new pipeline between Durban and Gauteng will be funded by a 7.5c/l levy. The combined increase is therefore 20.5c/l compared with last year's 40.5 c/l rise. Annual T axa ble Income Tax Saving 2010 % Saving for 2010 vs. Tax paid in 2009 R60 000 R5 04 48 .3% R2 00 000 R1 6 04 3.4% R7 50 000 R3 5 34 1.5% Conclusion Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said the storm has passed, but that the recovery remains fragile. He highlighted that we have been able to meet the delivery schedule of hosting the Soccer World Cup with the stadiums, the airports and the new roads a lasting legacy. The ability to meet the Soccer World Cup challenges must now be extended to make the economy internationally competitive, while at the same time enhancing its ability to create jobs so that all South Africans can take pride in our achievements over the next 20 years and share in the benefits. www.oasiscrescent.com | 021 413 7860 | 0860 100 786

UNDERSTANDING SELF-DIRECTED CARE IN WISCONSIN: A COMPARISON OF IRIS AND FAMILY CARE PROGRAMS Grant Cummings, Patric Hernandez, Jerrett Jones, Andrew Kell, and Jacob Schindler Background IRIS-Include, Respect, I-Self-Direct Long term care program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and initiated in July 2008 Long-term care services are provided to Wisconsin elders, and adults with physical and developmental disabilities An alternative to Wisconsin's managed care program Family Care, and allows clients at a nursing home level of care to select and manage the long-term care services they receive Background IRIS-Include, Respect, I-Self-Direct The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services require that recipients be provided with multiple services options, including a managed care system and self-directed system The Adult Long-Term Care Functional Screen-Version 3, is used to determine long –term eligibility determined the ability to perform the daily activities of living Background Medicaid is a jointly funded federal-state insurance program for low-income and needy people State long-term care programs are for Medicaid-eligible individuals who meet the level of care standards for nursing home admission Those who do not meet nursing home level of care may be provided Medicaid long-term care card services (medical-related care) and some level of interdisciplinary care management, but are not allowed waivers for individual care Family Care In January 1998, Family Care was authorized by the Governor and the Wisconsin state legislature to provide a cost-effective approach that would facilitate consumer independence and enhance quality of life It serves people with physical and developmental disabilities, and frail elders with the following specific goals: giving people better choices about where they live and what kinds of services and supports they get to meet their needs; improving access to services; improving quality through a focus on health and social outcomes; and creating a cost-effective system Family Care is available in fifty-three out of the seventy-two counties in Wisconsin Family Care (Continued) To facilitate Wisconsin's long-term goals, Family Care has two major organizational components: Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC) and Managed Care Organizations (MCO) ADRCs are designed to be a first point of contact where older individuals and people with physical or developmental disabilities can locate information and advice about a broad range of services available to them MCOs, through a comprehensive network of long-term care services and contracts with providers, deliver services tailored to an individual's specific needs. Wisconsin Self-Directed Care: IRIS In 2008, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers modified the Family Care budget methodology for a new program, IRIS In IRIS, individuals self-manage their publicly funded long-term care supports, goods, and services The new program allows individuals to choose and allocate services they use IRIS emphasizes the self-direction given to individual budget allocations that are commensurate with participant abilities and support needs Wisconsin Self-Directed Care: IRIS IRIS is organized through the use of regional Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC) and two statewide contract organizations: the Independent Counseling Agency (ICA) and the Financial Services Agency (FSA) The ADRC provides enrollment and benefits counseling that are consistent with Family Care The Independent Counseling Agency (ICA) provides counseling for IRIS participants The Financial Services Agency (FSA) tracks all spending and provides payroll and payout services for participants Policy Questions Because Wisconsin IRIS program is unique among Self-Directed Care programs in providing services to individuals with physical or developmental disabilities and the elderly there is an urgent need to understand: How do IRIS participants differ from Wisconsin Family Care participants? Do these differences including demographics, service expenditures, and budget amounts warrant any changes to Self-Directed Care in Wisconsin?

There may be lags in spending data that influenced this analysis. Predicting Spending DHS uses statistical models to set the budget allocations for IRIS and Family Care participants For the first couple years of IRIS' existence, DHS has used Family Care data to create IRIS' statistical model Why? IRIS was a brand new program and did not have any data IRIS participants were entering and exiting the program To assure cost neutrality between Family Care and IRIS Participants receive the same budget allocation regardless of which program they enroll in Spending during this adjustment period would not reflect the spending of participants when the program is stabilized Predicting Spending (Cont.) By 2009, IRIS participants and staff were accustomed to the program, so is it still appropriate to use Family Care data to create the spending model? To answer this question, we created our own statistical model and applied it to both the IRIS and Family Care data Like DHS, we used participants' responses from the functional screen to predict actual program spending Predicting Spending Results We found that the important predictors of spending were different in the two programs. Example: Needing help preparing meals is an important predictor of spending in Family Care, but not in IRIS, while not having any means for effective communication is important in IRIS, but not in Family Care. This suggests that different spending models need to be created: one from IRIS data and one from Family Care data. Predicting IRIS Participation We also wondered if we could predict which long- term care participants will enroll in IRIS This information could help DHS predict future budget needs, especially as IRIS expands to new counties To explore this issue, we created another statistical model from responses to the functional screen We found that some screen responses predicted a lower likelihood of enrolling in IRIS while others predicted a higher likelihood of enrolling Predicting IRIS Participation Results General patterns in our results People needing relatively simple assistance in activities of daily living were more likely to enroll in IRIS Each year of age predicts a lower likelihood of enrolling in IRIS Individuals that have difficulty communicating or making decisions are less likely to enroll in IRIS We also tested whether this model could be used to forecast future enrollment in IRIS We found it did not accurately predict the enrollment of current IRIS participants This suggests that DHS should not rely on functional screen responses to predict future enrollment in IRIS Recommendations Policy Recommendation 1: Future statistical models used to predict the spending of IRIS participants should be created from IRIS Cost data IRIS has stabilized as a program IRIS participants and their spending patterns are significantly different than those of Family Care participants The challenge for DHS is to find a different method for achieving cost neutrality between IRIS and Family Care Recommendations (Cont.) Policy Recommendation 2: Wisconsin DHS should track IRIS participation by target group and required services to follow any emerging trends in enrollment We have highlighted some patterns in IRIS enrollment, but these will continue to change as the program matures The functional screen is insufficient for this purpose DHS should continue efforts to administer surveys, site visits, and interviews with IRIS participants and ADRC staff to gain more insight into why participants enroll in IRIS Recommendations (Cont.) Policy Recommendation 3: Wisconsin DHS should do what it can to streamline the IRIS data systems IRIS information is spread over multiple data systems This makes it difficult to evaluate program data on a frequent and systematic basis DHS should attempt to consolidate these systems DHS should also establish a data protocol so that data generation and analysis can be replicated quickly and frequently Recommendations (Cont.) Policy Recommendation 4: Wisconsin DHS should initiate efforts to systematically track the outcomes of the IRIS program Participant self-assessment surveys and program assessments should be added to the functional screen DHS should request regular reports from the ADRCs, ICA, and FSA regarding participant complaints and customer service calls Tracking program outcomes will ensure that IRIS continues to meet the needs of participants Questions? We now have some time for questions.

BIRMINGHAM BOWL STORYLINES1. Florida - ranked ninth nationally in total defense - will be challenged by the country's top quarterback-receiver combination. American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year Shane Carden has hit NCAA-record holder Justin Hardy for 27 career touchdowns - the most among active duos. Carden averages 359.1 passing yards - with five 400-yard games this season - while the Gators are allowing 194.2 yards through the air, 24th in the nation.2. Freshman starting quarterback Treon Harris is expected to play for Florida after being charged with a second-degree misdemeanor Dec. 13 after operating a vehicle without a valid license. Two small bags of marijuana were also found in the car but Harris and freshmen teammates Jalen Tabor and J.C. Jackson were not charged because the car did not belong to any of them. The Florida athletic department released a statement Friday afternoon saying "We are aware of the incident and are dealing with it internally and their bowl status hasn't changed."3. D.J. Durkin, who will not return to Florida after spending two seasons as the defensive coordinator, will serve as interim head coach for the bowl game while recently hired head coach Jim McElwain has been watching practices. McElwain hired Mississippi State defensive coordinator Geoff Collins on Dec. 16 to fill the same role at Florida. "(Interim coach) is one of the hardest positions to be in," said Pirates coach Ruffin McNeill, who was the Texas Tech interim coach for the 2010 Alamo Bowl before taking the East Carolina job.TV: Noon ET, ESPN. LINE: Florida -6.5ABOUT EAST CAROLINA (8-4, 5-3 American Athletic): Hardy - who won the 2014 Burlsworth Trophy as the best player who began their career as a walk-on - owns the NCAA record for career receptions (376) and leads the nation with 9.2 catches per game. Carden has thrown for 4,309 yards and 28 touchdowns with eight interceptions in 551 attempts. The Pirates - ranked No. 2 in passing (367.3) and fifth in total offense (532.8) - should have freshman receiver Trevon Brown (four TDs before a knee injury on Oct. 23) back for the bowl game.ABOUT FLORIDA (6-5, 4-4 SEC): Harris has thrown for 633 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions and run for another 240 yards and two scores since taking over as starter five games ago. Matt Jones and Kelvin Taylor have combined for 1,382 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns and Demarcus Robinson leads the Gators - who have lost five turnovers in their last five games after committing 15 in the previous four games - with 47 catches for 774 yards and seven touchdowns. Leading tackler Antonio Morrison needs two stops to become the first Gator with 100 tackles since Ahmad Black in 2010.PREDICTION: Florida 38, East Carolina 35

The National Geographic Society is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its magazine publication and TV channel cover a wide range of topics, including geography, archaeology, natural science, anthropology and technology. The institution is known to strongly promote environmental and historical conservation, and the study and appreciation of culture from all over the globe. The National Geographic Societys logo is a yellow rectangular portrait frame, which appears as margins on the front covers of its magazines and as its television channel logo.
The magazine is the TropeNamer for NationalGeographicNudity.
Trope in National Geographic include:
* BaitAndSwitchCredits:[[http://i.imgur.com/sBSkQ.jpg This]] infamous front page article. [[spoiler: The cover asks "Was Darwin wrong?" and the first inside page states "No."]]
* DiamondsInTheBuff: One issue had a picture of a belt with huge gemstone beads and a quote from its creator, stating that he "imagined a woman emerging from the ocean wearing this belt and nothing else".
* MysteriousWaif: RealLife MysteriousWaif Sharbat Gula, called the Afghan Girl. She was photographed in an Afghan refugee camp. At the time the picture was taken, the photographer didn't know her name, and in 2002, she was successfully located and formally identified. Her photograph is the most recognized in Magazine/NationalGeographic history.[[note]]And in case you're wondering how being moderately famous improved her life...it didn't. At the time the picture was taken, Gula was twelve and had just been driven from her home, so she was understandably pissed off. And when she was found in 2002 and asked how she felt about being famous, she found that it was hard to care when your husband was working for a dollar a day and your asthma made it hard to breathe within your own polluted city.[[/note]]
* NationalGeographicNudity: The trope namer. There were frequent articles about tribes of people who wore little to no clothing and many people remember the photography of topless women that went with those articles.\\\
The media studies work ''Reading National Geographic'' found that, aside from choosing to represent areas of the world with images that reinforce specific themes (the Pacific islands are idyllic, East Asia is eccentric and a decade behind the times, African children smile when doing backbreaking labor, etc.), what nudity is permitted in ''National Geographic'' depends on who's doing it. African, Native American and other "primitive" people get their naughty bits published, while European vacationers on a nude beach don't. And in a strange case of RaceLift, persons with borderline skin tones will have their skin ''darkened'' in order to be acceptably nude.
-->''When I was an adolescent, the only reliable source of breast visuals was National Geographic, a magazine then devoted, as far as I can tell, to doing feature articles on every primitive tribe in the world in which the women went around topless. When I was in junior high school, my friends and I were '''extremely''' interested in these articles, specifically the photographs that had captions like "A young woman of the Mbonga tribe prepares supper using primitive implements." We would spend long periods of time staring at the young woman's implements, and we'd wonder how come we'd had the incredibly bad luck of being born in the one society in the entire world (judging from National Geographic) wherein women wore a lot of clothes.''

I was sent a link to the following map by Rob Story. I can't bring myself to thank him...it made my eyes bleed and I genuinely do not know where to begin in dissecting it. It goes straight to the top of 2014's worst map so far list...and that's something given we only recently saw the NBC Nightly News abomination. It's from Newsweek's Tumblr though tracing the true origin and figuring out who made it is probably a good thing.
What does it show? Who knows.
What do the colours mean? Impossible to tell, even on a well calibrated screen.
What exactly is being mapped? No idea. I don't even know what sport (probably a Brit ex-pat issue)
What data is being used? Nope...dunno. 61% of what? What 'fan votes'?
Why map two variables with virtually the same colour? Why? WHY?
Why use an unclassed choropleth? Sorry, I give in.
Why does 'more' seem to be shown in lighter colours in the two things but the inverse is true? Bad.
What is the actual point? Possibly to show how bad a bad map can be?
Is it a joke? I sincerely hope so.
It is that far from the normal cartofail scale it defines its own scale!
Congratulations whoever you are...my opthamologist will be in touch.
Update: Thanks to Martin Elmer for pointing out an inaccuracy in the original post. He also points out it could well be a screen grab of an interactive map. Possibly yes...though most of the problems still apply.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Someone tried to pry open a gun safe inside a White Plains home Saturday night that appears on a map of pistol permit holders published by The Journal News, police said.
Det. Lt. Eric Fischer said there is no evidence that the house was targeted because it is on the interactive map published Dec. 24, which shows the names and addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties.
"We're investigating it as we would any burglary," he said.
However, Robert Riley, president of the White Plains Police Benevolent Association, is concerned that the map may have incited the incident, which he added is one of eight burglaries or attempted burglaries within the past four days in White Plains. He said some of the burglary victims lived one or two doors from pistol permit holders listed on the map.
"The Journal News printed a virtual treasure map for criminals. It lets the bad guys know who is vulnerable, due to not having a gun permit, and where to go if they wanted a gun," said Riley, who previously asked the newspaper to remove the names and addresses of law enforcement personnel from the map.
Riley has since ratcheted up his request, asking readers to cancel their subscriptions and advertisers to pull their ads from the newspaper until it removes the map from its website.
The Affiliated Police Association of Westchester County Inc. has said it will hold the newspaper responsible for any crimes against its members stemming from publication of the map. The association is to publicly state its position at a news conference Tuesday at the Westchester County Courthouse, 111 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

I would like to
typedef a multi-dimensional array using the boost library. The matrix is rectangular and the dimension and lengths in each dimension should be fixed within the
typedef. In case of a vector this was exactly what is solved by the
boost::array template class:
typedef boost::array<int, 3> vec3_t;
For multi-dimensional arrays I could repeat this construction
typedef boost::array<boost::array<int, 2> ,3> mat2x3_t
and it allows me to also initialize my matrix quite nicely (although I'm not sure if this behavior is guaranteed...):
Mat2x3_t m = { 11, 12, 13,
21, 22, 23};
However, from a performance standpoint I am unsure whether this is to way to go. My understanding of memory management is very limited but the way I imagine this in the computer memory is, that the inner-most array (
boost::array<int, 2> in the above example) is guaranteed to allocate a contiguous block of memory, whereas, for the "higher levels" of arrays I'n not sure.
I also looked at the
boost::multi_array class, where, to my understanding, the whole matrix will take up a contiguous block of memory and is quite ideal for my "rectangular" matrices that I'm interested in. It further supplies some neat member functions (which are not crucial for my implementation but are a nice addition nonetheless). The deal breaker for this class seems to be, however, that I cannot
typedef the length in each dimension but only the number of dimensions.
So my question is: Does the the construction in terms of multiple arrays result in performance issues when I have to iterate through it a lot (~10^7 times)? In my example I used a 2x3 int matrix but my use-case would be a higher-dimensional 64x4x2 matrix with complex numbers. And, is the initialization in terms of the curly braces guaranteed by the implementation? If there are issues with the arrays, is there a way to typedef a fixed size multi_array? Or are the other alternatives I am missing?

Ronnie James Dio Memorial Event Confirmed for May
Ronnie James Dio's widow Wendy has announced final details for a fifth-anniversary remembrance at his gravesite in Los Angeles.
Ronnie James Dio's widow Wendy has announced final details for a fifth-anniversary remembrance at his gravesite in Los Angeles.
Do you believe in ghosts? More to the point, do you believe the ghosts of dead rock stars hang around concerts where their songs are being played? If so, then add Ronnie James Dio to the list of possible apparitions -- because according to at least one witness, he popped up (quite literally) at a Last in Line show this weekend.
Vivian Campbell's long-running feud with Ronnie James Dio has left some fans crying foul over Campbell's decision to revisit their work together, but he has strong words for anyone who thinks he doesn't have a right to play those songs.
Heavy metal overlords Black Sabbath began the second chapter of their storied career in April 1980, when they hit the road in Europe and U.K. for their first shows with Ozzy Osbourne's replacement, Ronnie James Dio.
Earlier this month over 80 guitars from rockers like Eddie Van Halen and Slash were auctioned off to raise money for cancer reseach. The Dio Cancer Fund -- a charity that honors the late Ronnie James Dio -- added $100K to an already impressive total to give to the TJ Martell Foundation. Since 2010 wife Wendy Dio has overseen the donation of over $300K.
The widow of late Dio, Black Sabbath and Heaven and Hell vocalist Ronnie James Dio has remarried. Wendy Dio, who also served as Dio's manager for many years, wed Omar Gimenez in a private ceremony this past Sunday (Sept. 9) in Montecito, California.
Admirers of the late great Ronnie James Dio, it's time to load up your PayPal accounts and get bidding! According to an eBay listing, the legendary heavy metal singer's childhood home is being auctioned off on the electronic bidding website — and the bidding starts at $90,000.
The best Ronnie James Dio era Black Sabbath album is without a doubt Heaven And Hell from 1980. It was the first time Ozzy Osbourne wasn't involved in a Sabbath project and Dio's presence brought much change to the band and it's sound. This album was a huge hit with both fans and critics, and cont
Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell recently revealed that he was planning to revisit the music he performed with Dio with the lineup that was around when he was in the band. It's been documented over the years that Campbell and Ronnie James Dio didn't see eye-to-eye before the guitarist's exit, and one of the members of the band is shedding some light on the issues.
Hollywood's Avalon Theater will be the venue for the 2nd annual Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund Awards Gala. The event will take place on October 31, 2012, and will be hosted by Eddie Trunk.
In 2007, the late, great and dark Ronnie James Dio with his version of Black Sabbath got together again and did a show at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. Fans loved it. Now they can see it again, and own it, o
If you're a Ronnie James Dio era Rainbow fan like me, you'll want to make room in your budget for the new 2-disc "Live At Dusseldorf's Phillipshalle" finding the boys at the top of their game in 1976. Said by many insiders to be the best sounding live set ever released by this classic line-up, with clean remastered sound and an 8-page booklet
