United Healthcare's headquarters building in Minnetonka.

Tricare extends changes to UnitedHealthcare military plan

WASHINGTON – The Defense Department has extended for another month measures to address problems with UnitedHealthcare Military
The government will continue an automatic referral and approval process for specialized care, because of UnitedHealthcare's difficulty in providing timely care for certain service members, military retirees and their families.
That service is "still not to the point where we're comfortable," said Austin Camacho, a spokesman for the federal Tricare insurance program.
UnitedHealthcare began administering the program in Tricare's 21-state western region on April 1. But after numerous complaints from care providers, Department of Defense officials judged UnitedHealthcare's delays in approving patient referrals to specialists unacceptable and forced the company to temporarily waive its approval process for 1.6 million people in a managed care program.
That waiver was to expire Saturday, but the government extended it until at least June 18, when Tricare officials will once again judge the speed with which UnitedHealthcare is providing care.
The company blamed an unexpected volume of specialty referrals for the approval backlog and pledged to devote as many resources as necessary to catch up and maintain an acceptable level of performance.
"We are making significant progress in processing all pending referrals and authorizations to ensure uninterrupted specialty care for Tricare West Region beneficiaries," spokesman Bruce Jasurda said.
UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans said in a statement Monday that it is processing urgent referrals and authorizations promptly to ensure access to care. The company also said it is devoting additional resources to expedite processing of all routine requests.
UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans is a subsidiary of Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group. It was formed specifically to attract Tricare business.
The company last year won an embattled $20.5 billion contract to administer Tricare's West Region. But delays in care delivery led to government criticism and intervention only a few weeks after UnitedHealthcare applied its administrative protocols.
Camacho said the government continues to meet with UnitedHealthcare officials daily to judge progress in working out bugs in the system that caused many patients to wait weeks for approval of payment for needed treatments.
"I know they have plussed up the number of people working on this," Camacho said.
He said the government will decide later whether to penalize UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans for its poor initial service.

Strange OperationPros: Cheap, low end low power 1155, no shenanigans, it is what it is. Cons: I think I got a DOA model.. I paired this with a low power i3 and intel 320 series SSD thinking I'd have a good combination for compatibility. 8gb of Kingston value ram 1333 as well (2x4gb).

Pros: Tiny, tiny little mobo Cons: Only having a VGA port on this thing should be criminal. Other Thoughts: I ended up replacing this board quickly because of that - a shame, because I managed to tune the bios down to 5-6 second boot times. If you only need VGA, this board is perfect.

Born on November 11, 1925, in Dayton, Ohio, Jonathan Winters hosted several local programs for Columbus's WBNS-TV from 1950 to 1953. His appearance on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts led to guest-star assignments on network television, as well as a featured spot in the Broadway revue Almanac. In 1956, Winters starred on his own weekly TV variety show. He also pursued a successful nightclub career. He on April 11, 2013, at age 87, in Montecito, California.
"I couldn't wait for success , so I went ahead without it."
"As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of things. I was a Walter Mitty type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot with a scarf, a fisherman who hauled in a tremendous marlin after a 12-hour fight."
"[Jonathan Winters is] pound for pound, the funniest man alive."
Early Life
Jonathan Winters was born on November 11, 1925, in Dayton, Ohio, and went on to become a groundbreaking stand-up comedian. He attended school in Springfield and, at the age of 17, joined the U.S. Marine Corps. After serving for two years in the South Pacific, he returned to his native state and enrolled at Kenyon College. He later studied at the Dayton Art Institute, where he met his future wife, Eileen Schauder. The couple would later have two children, a daughter, Lucinda, and son Jay.
From 1950 to 1953, Winters hosted several local programs for Columbus's WBNS-TV. After moving to New York in 1953, Winters earned a spot on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts. This appearance led to a number of guest-star assignments on network television, as well as a featured part in the Broadway revue Almanac in 1954. By this time, the young comedian had earned a reputation as a pioneer comic and impressionist, in New York City and beyond.
Comic Career
In 1956, Jonathan Winters began starring on his own weekly TV variety series, The Jonathan Winters Show. The show made television history that same year, when it broadcast the first public demonstration of color videotape. In addition to hosting the show, Winters pursued a successful nightclub career.
In 1964, Winters made a memorable appearance on The Jack Paar Show, performing in one bit with a foot-long stick a number of impressions, including of a fisherman, violinist and bullfighter. He later spoke about his imagination and acting talent with U.S. News & World Report: "As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of things," Winters said. "I was a Walter Mitty type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot with a scarf, a fisherman who hauled in a tremendous marlin after a 12-hour fight."
Jack Paar once called Winters "pound for pound, the funniest man alive." Following The Jack Paar Show, Winters landed spots on The Steve Allen Show and The Tonight Show, among other well-known TV series.
Winters went on to work on the album The Little Prince (1975), based on the best-selling 1943 book by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, alongside Richard Burton, John Carradine, Jim Backus and Claudine Longet, among others. Winters earned his first Grammy Award for the album, and went on to win a second Grammy for his work on the 1996 comedy album Crank Calls.
In 1991, Winters won his first and only Emmy Award (outstanding supporting actor in a comedy) for his role as Randy Quaid's father on the sitcom Davis Rules.

I have purchased this NF Beanie for two of my daughters. They both loved it. My 8 year old says it fits a little small but it's very warm and she loves it. My 20 year old loved hers until someone took it. This Beanie looks so good on, I would purchase it again. Maybe even for ME next time! ;)
Pros: Great design, PerformanceLove it!

This is a really cute hat, but I had expected it to be fleece-lined (based on the photo), which it isn't. I don't think it will be warm enough, so I will be returning.

By Aaron Epple
The Pulitzer Prize nominated play "Love Letters" is being produced at Hamilton's Fitton Center for the Creative Arts this week.
The stripped-down, two-actor production concerns two childhood friends who drift apart in young adulthood but stay in touch for life through a series of notes, letters and cards. Henry Cepluch, the show's director, said the initial, physical split happens when Andrew Makepeace Ladd III joins the Navy and embarks on a U.S. Senatorial career while Melissa Gardner remains a small-town civilian.
"She's the more artistic of the two, a free spirit and into painting," he said. "He's more of a conservative, practical guy."
The set consists of Andrew and Melissa sitting at opposite desks, reading their correspondences aloud. For those who might question the entertainment value of this, Cepluch said that was precisely the point.
"The author wrote an introduction to theater companies where he instructed them not to use background music, not to do costume changes," he said. "He wanted to keep the interest in the letters themselves and what they reveal about the other person. If an actor has no reason to move and does so, it's distracting, so nobody gets up and runs around. Some of the notes are just single one-liners, and then it bounces back to the other person. It really relies on the characters' voices, and what your getting is two lifetimes."
Those lifetimes include a lot of bitterness and disappointment for Andrew and Melissa, romantically and professionally, and the letters provide a therapeutic crutch, forging a deep, mutual bond. It's a relationship defined largely by absence. The implication is that if they'd remained in the same town together, the friendship would've quickly fizzled out.
"Love Letters" is being produced at the Fitton Center as part of the Mad Anthony Theatre Company, which Cepluch started 12 years ago. "Love Letters" fits perfectly into Cepluch's mission statement of unconventional theater combined with low maintenance.
"I'm always on the lookout for small shows because we only have a small black box to perform in," he said. " 'Love Letters' is easy. Two actors, they don't have to memorize anything, and it's a charming play, full of comedy and pathos."
What: "Love Letters"
Where: The Fitton Center for the Creative Arts, 101 S. Monument Ave., Hamilton
When: The play's run began on Wednesday, Dec. 12, and ends Sunday, Dec. 16. Show times are 8 p.m. daily through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Cost: $15 for Fitton Center members, $20 for nonmembers

this is the most romantic thing i've seen all day
No shit. That tom cat was like:
"This thorn invested wall means nothing."
"I will gladly walk on it a thousand times over, if that means I could be with you, my lady."
and the lady cat was all:
"My brave darling."
Suddenly my muse insisted me to draw the personification version of the last pic, and who am I to reject inspiration when it comes so willingly to me? At least this will help with the artblock issue I currently have to deal with.
Russian imperial era inspired because hot damn.
Note: I tried google reverse image (and other reverse image search engines) those photos and came up with nothing. I wish I knew the original photographer because I want to love hug him/her so hard for capturing such inspiring moments.

2011 bottle, 12 oz. twist off, Quebec sticker on the bottle.
Pours like motor oil into a tulip glass, black with brownish edges. A good amount of creamy mocha foam on the surface, that fades to a swirling skim after a few minutes in the glass, with spotty lace around the edges.
Aromas of chocolate and light soy at first, autolysed yeast. Flavors of creamy smooth chocolate, hints of vanilla and barrel in the aftertaste. Full bodied with a light sweetness at first, segueing into dry roast and light bitterness in the middle. Overall it's drinkable and remarkably smooth. Thanks for sharing Chris!

Ink. Oily black with a big, creamy tan head. Good head retention.
Wonderful aroma. Rounded. Liquorice. Roast and bitter chocolate. Some alcohol. Nothing over the top but really well composed and well integrated.
Rich. Not too sweet but clearly big with lots of roast and chocolate. The liquorice is not over the top and works well. Mild alcohol. Very nice.
A touch chalky before a rounded creaminess comes through. Moderate carbonation works well.
A delightful beer. Big and bold but refined at the same time.

This was a 2011 vintage that I am reviewing picked up while in Quebec City this summer.
Pours a very thick, almost syrup-like liquid with a dark mocha head with tight bubbles of a two finger head that sticks around and leaves some impressive lacing on the glass.
The smell is luxurious... espresso, dark chocolate, black licorice, molasses, vanilla, and oak with a smoky note there as well. Smells wonderful!!
The taste is phenomenal... thick, velvety and very rich! Tastes of espresso,bitter chocolate, and licorice mix with the smoky wood and oak... also a little sweetness and even a litter bitter hop taste which is impressive for a beer over 2 years aged. Not very boozy as i am sure it has mellowed and transformed over time.. but the alcohol is definitely there, but to me... very smooth. I love every sip of this and how it transformed as it warmed... i got more of the vanilla bourbon as it warmed as well as the bitterness increased in a good way.
I loved this beer... it was well worth the $6.99 I paid even after carrying it in my backpack as i was on my bike back to my fiance's apartment haha! I hope to try a 2013 vintage this Holiday season or even score another 2011 or 2012 to compare. If you can find this.. buy it. I love the fact that the bourbon does not dominate and overpower like many barrel aged stouts.
St-Ambroise always impresses... try if you can find this!!

4.48/5 rDev +5.7%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
341 mL bottle-in-a-tube picked up at the LCBO. 2013 edition, listed at 9.2% and served at cellar temperature. This is one brewery that almost always manages to impress me, and I've probably heard more good stuff about this stout than any of their other offerings - so picking up this one was a quick decision.
Pours thick, black and totally opaque like old engine oil, topped with just under two fingers' worth of dense, creamy, dark tan-coloured head. Its recession is a gradual process lasting more than a few minutes, eventually culminating in a modest cap with a sheet of lacing around the edge of the glass. An impressive-looking stout, and the aroma ain't half bad either - bourbon and oak are noticeable contributors, in addition to roasted malts, molasses, vanilla extract, ethanol and smoke. Not bad, but I could use a bit more coffee/chocolate to entice me into a sip.
This is a delicious imperial stout, with the barrel ageing process bestowing upon it a number of interesting traits not typically found in this style. Toffee and molasses sweetness form much of the backbone, with big notes of bourbon, black coffee and charred wood to keep things interesting. Toward the finish, there is a brief but intense splash of licorice, with dark chocolate and roasted malts soon overtaking it. The aftertaste is quite bitter, with a smoky, char-like tannin astringency lingering on the palate for quite a while. The alcohol doesn't figure into the flavour strongly, but it's not exactly hidden, either. Full-bodied, with light carbonation that gently prickles the tongue, accenting the velvety-smooth mouthfeel nicely. A slow sipper if there ever was one; this is a brew to savour.
Final Grade: 4.48, an outstanding A grade. St. Ambroise Stout Impériale Russe is a fabulous barrel-aged stout that all fans of the style should actively seek out. While this fresh bottle is drinking rather nicely, this is the sort of beer that is just begging to be cellared for a year or two - frankly, my mouth is watering just thinking about a mellower, smoother version of this stout, a concept almost inconceivable to begin with. Hopefully I'll be able to procure another bottle before the stock runs out, although if history is any indicator this stuff will fly off the shelves (for good reason). Don't hesitate to grab a bottle of this if you spot it, because it's well worth a try and absolutely worth the 6-7 dollar price tag.

A 2011 bottle put aside for a couple years.
What a pour. Thick (in the best way) black liquid pours into a snifter and sends up a lively mocha head. Pretty much opaque. Glass covering lacings right to the finish. A 5 on appearance.
Dark red fruit on the nose with a hit of alcohol. Slightly smokey and roasty, but really it's all about big fruity malt flavours in the aroma.
Deep and dark. Loads going on with this. Bitterest chocolate. Vinous. Boozey wood. Ever-present dark red fruit. Even after a couple years I get significant hop bitterness.
Another 5 for mouthfeel. Incredibly satisfying imperial stout. Thick and chewy while being shockingly easy drinking.
Glad I laid this down for awhile. Well rounded and quite tasty. Great stuff.

3/5 rDev -29.2%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2.5
Special reserve bourbon wood aged 2013 poured into a tumbler.
Good looking and forming head. Creamy dark coffee tan and three fingers deep. Huge lacing while drinking on a classic dark walnut brown to black body. Very nice looking.
Bouquet is a lot of husky grain, and that classic tobacco like smoke I remember from their oatmeal stout. Some bitterness is coming off of this with a bit of red fruit. Not much oak or whiskey sensing hints here.
First sip while somewhat drinkable is shocking. Mid palate brings some red fruit angles which quickly disappear. To replace with lots of bitterness. Some dry tannic wood and huge tobacco mix with a somewhat cherry bitterness and slick but wet oils. The aftertaste is horribly bitter. Unbalanced. A hopped pine sort of earth indistinct quaity that really clashes with everything. Classic barrel aging notes arent even here. Oak round character isnt even present.
Where is the coffee, chocolate, slight roast sweetness and mellow oak feeling? This beer is just a bitter mess of clashing fruit and hop bitterness with a horrid tobacco smoke that doesnt go away. I certainly hope Canada does better examples of barrel aging than this.

341 ml bottle that comes in an awesomely decorated cardboard cylinder. Picked one up for $5.95 CDN which is a lot for figured I would have to try this at least once. 2013 Vintage and ABV is indicated as 9.2% on the bottle rather than the 9.1% listed here.
Left the bottle out for about 30-40 minutes after being in the fridge so that it would warm up a bit. Then served into a pint glass.
Appearance - Black as night like in an unlit mine shaft. I've recently commented on some dark beers and how they had been the darkest beers I'd had, but this one takes the cake. Towards the end of the glass even tilted this towards me as to spread out the liquid and looked directly into the sun and... not a glimmer of light made it through. Wow. Also 1 finger of dark brown head that receded moderately. Beautiful spidery lacing left everywhere. If the head was more impressive of lasted longer this would have scored quite a bit higher. Still very impressive.
Smell - Lots of coffee, licorice candy a complex mixture of chocolates. Caramel and butterscotch mixture. Wonderfully dessert-like. Pretty much having a platter of strong rich dark chocolate and all the combinations with other dessert items in front of you with a black espresso. Also some vanilla and smoky oakiness. Slight element of rum soaked pastries and fruitcake.
Taste - Enormous flavors here, and found that there was about four stages to this beer with every sip. First a mild sweetness of the caramel and butterscotch combo transitioning into about a second where the palate is actually clear and void of much. Then boom a massive licorice and smoke explosion with some coffee and dark chocolate mixed in. To conclude a dark chocolate (like 95% pure cocoa) and coffee mixture that lingers on the tongue for a long while.
Mouthfeel - Rich, decadent velvety smooth, great warmth in the back of the throat. Obviously heavy bodied prohibiting you from mass consumption and also an oily texture to it. The slickness coats the mouth and tongue throughout the session.
Overall - Excellent RIS, huge flavor and very good representation of the style. Don't know if I will purchase another this year due to the cost, but definitely worth trying at least once.

Fifty-three players wrapped up the All American camp at Occidental College today, with 28 flying out tonight to New Zealand for a three-match tour. Head Coach Matt Sherman said the camp was extremely successful, and stressed that the 25 players who are not making the trip should not be discouraged.
"No one who came here didn't belong," he said. "We are getting more and more players with a solid grounding in the game from playing in high school as well as college. We're getting guys who have seven or eight years of good rugby, and the credit goes to all the high school and college coaches who are doing such a good job."
The squad will be without the likes of Seamus Kelly, Cam Dolan, Nick Wallace and Will Holder, who are with the senior USA team. Sherman shrugged off those unavailabilities, saying, "that's the purpose of all of this. We're happy for them."
The team came together Saturday night to watch the USA men's team play Ireland, and Sherman pointed out that three players on the USA squad were recent All Americans."To show the guys, hey, there are three guys on the field for the Eagles who were where you are just a year ago really brings it home as to what they can do," said Sherman. "They really understood what can happen if they perform." A few players surprised in how they showed at the camp. Among them was highly-regarded Cal flanker Alec Gletzer, who had a strong season for the Bears, and a superb camp. Gletzer is a higher-energy flanker with plenty of skill. That he played well isn't that much of a surprise, but the performance of San Diego State freshman Stephen Tomasin was.
Sherman used to coach at San Diego State and people he knows there nagged him to invite Tomasin. The youngster, who came to the fore a little late to get a U20 look, was invited to camp when a place opened up, and now, at 18, is on the tour squad. The All Americans will play three matches in New Zealand, two against a New Zealand Universities squad that will likely be a development team, and one match against a Wairarapa Bush men's 15. The team will arrive in New Zealand on June 12 local time, get a few days to acclimate, and play their first match June 16. "This is going to be a good, competitive tour," said Sherman.
BOULDER, Colo. – The USA Rugby AIG Men's Collegiate All-Americans (MCAAs) will tour New Zealand this summer after the success of their Ireland Tour last August. The USA Rugby AIG Women's Collegiate All-Americans (WCAAs) have also updated their summer schedule with new dates for regional combine camps, the top 40 elite camp and an international tour late in 2013.Men's Head Coach Matt Sherman, in his second year with the MCAAs, will hold a selection camp at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., where 55 of the top eligible athletes will compete for a spot on the MCAAs squad to tour New Zealand in June. The squad was originally scheduled to convene on May 16-19, but will now hold the camp immediately preceding their international departure in which they will take on New Zealand University twice and Wairarapa Bush in Palmerston North, Wellington and Masterton."In touring to New Zealand and renewing our relationship with New Zealand Universities, we know our best collegiate players will be taking on a challenging tour experience in a country where rugby is part of the fabric of the culture," Sherman said. "Furthermore, we are looking forward to a selection camp that will allow more than 50 of our best collegiate players to compete for an opportunity to wear the All-American shield on this year's tour."The MCAAs had a 2-1 record against the New Zealand University team when New Zealand toured the United States in 2011. "This will be a tremendous learning experience for our potential Eagles athletes," USA Rugby High Performance Player Development Manager Luke Gross said. "The High Performance and coaching staff are looking forward to the challenge this international tour will bring."The selections process for the team has begun with recommendations from coaches, scouts and conference commissioners. However, coaches who believe they have the top one percent of players can still recommend them for selection by filling out the AIG Men's Collegiate All-American nomination form.The WCAAs have confirmed two regional combine camps for May, as well as an elite camp in July. Cal Maritime University and James Madison University will host the regional combine camps on May 23-26 and May 30-June respectively. Based on selections from the combine camps, University of Northern Colorado – Greeley will then play host to about 40 student athletes on July 18-21. The camps will include testing, drills, unit skills, evaluation and organized scrimmaging. All WCAA coaches will be on hand to evaluate the talent and identify prospective players for their respective teams."These new, larger regional camps will allow us to see and work with more players from a wider range of college programs, ensuring that we get the best athletes with the most potential to compete during our upcoming international tour," WCAAs Head Coach Martha Daines said.USA Rugby hopes to have players from all divisions and areas of the country present at the selection camps. Coaches wishing to nominate a player deserving of an invitation should complete this form.AIG Men's Collegiate All-Americans Spring/Summer 2013 ScheduleSelection Camp – June 7-10 – Occidental College – Los Angeles, CANew Zealand Tour - June 10-23vs. New Zealand University – June 16 – Palmerston Northvs. Wairarapa Bush – June 19 – Mastertonvs. New Zealand University – June 22 – WellingtonAIG Women's Collegiate All-Americans Spring/Summer 2013 ScheduleCombine Camp – May 23-26 – Cal Maritime UniversityCombine Camp – May 30 - June 2 – James Madison UniversityTop 40 Elite Camp – July 18-21 – University of Northern Colorado-GreeleyFrance Tour – Dates TBD
The Collegiate All Americans 7s team is done for the summer, but perhaps the question is, are these players done with 7s?
The All Americans will return home Wednesday after a 1-1 trip to Ireland.
Leinster Academy defeated the USA Collegiate All Americans 29-14 Tuesday in Dublin, finishing the All Americans' tour at 1-1.
Head Coach Matt Sherman started a slightly different squad than the one that took on Connacht Development three days ago. Ray Forrester and Ryan Roundy were game-time decisions, with Roundy held out and Forrester chosen on the bench. Cal center Seamus Kelly was named game day captain. Playing into a strong wind in the first half, the All Americans struggled against a very unified Academy team. After the teams started very tight in the first quarter, Leinster scored 24 points in a 15-minute period – three tries and a penalty between minutes 17 and 32.
The All Americans had a number of excellent scoring opportunities, several instigated by Kelly, but could not finish them off. Down 24-0, the All Americans made some adjustments and, with the wind, were a little more fortunate. Flanker Cam Dolan scored 11 minutes into the second half, and Joe Cowley's conversion made it 24-7. Leinster scored moments later, but concerted pressure from the All Americans netted a try from prop Jake Mizell to finish off the scoring.Along with Kelly, front-rowers Nick Wallace and Mike Shepherd had strong games for the Americans.

December 11, 2011
8:51 am
With shutdown cornerback Aqib Talib missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, the Buccaneers will have to rely on former 2010 third-round pick Myron Lewis, whose two-year NFL career has been disappointing and beset with injuries.
The Buccaneers played the majority of Sunday's 38-19 loss to Carolina without the services of cornerback Aqib Talib, who re-injured his hamstring on the fourth play of the game while covering Panthers receiver Steve Smith. Tampa Bay may be faced with the possibility of not having Talib again this Sunday when the team travels to Jacksonville as he missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to his hamstring injury.
"He actually went and got some tests done [on Wednesday]," said Bucs defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake. "We are waiting for the results. It was obvious he couldn't finish the game last week, so we will see how serious it is and how many weeks it is going to be or if it is going to be any weeks. It's the next man up theory. If he can't go, then obviously (E.J.) Biggers, Elbert Mack, Myron Lewis, Anthony Gaitor – between all of them, you've got to be ready to go."
Fifteen-year veteran cornerback Ronde Barber was asked to play more on the outside edge of the defense than inside the slot due to Talib's injury last week.
"He did a great job," Lake said. "He went out and played Steve Smith really well. Then when we went nickel we actually put E.J. Biggers on Steve Smith. He had two catches for [32] yards. Obviously, he hit us on that one big one and that was E.J. Biggers on him and then he hit us on a screen. From that standpoint of the game we felt pretty good about it because we know Steve Smith can change a game, and he was really only a factor on one play."
If Talib doesn't play, the Bucs will likely have Lewis, a third-round draft pick in 2010 who has largely disappointed, and Gaitor, a rookie, in the lineup to back up Barber, Biggers and Mack. Lake said that Lewis has been slowed by injuries again this season and has been set back by the fact that other cornerbacks have been playing so well. Lewis had 10 tackles and four pass breakups last year as a rookie and has just two tackles this year.

It Can Be Solved
When hearing these facts about poverty in the developing world, many people feel deep sorrow but conclude that there is nothing we can do. The scale of poverty is immense and we seem powerless to stop it.
Such despair is understandable, but the facts tell a very different story. While poverty is indeed both extreme and widespread, it is easy to forget just how many people there are in the developed world and how rich we are together. Let's start with a simple question: how much additional money per year would be needed to meet the most basic needs of those in poverty? According to official estimates from the United Nations Development Program:1
1. | UNDP, Human Development Report 1998, p. 37. (Close footnote) |
Basic education for all | $6 billion | |
Water and sanitation for all | $9 billion | |
Basic health and nutrition | $13 billion |
What do these numbers mean? A billion dollars sounds like a lot, but on the world scale it is quite small. There are 300 million people in the United States alone and so a billion dollars is just over three dollars per American citizen. To really see how small these amounts are, let's look at how much the developed world spends on various luxuries each year:
UNDP, Human Development Report 1998, p. 37.
Cosmetics (in the USA) | $8 billion | |
Ice cream (in Europe) | $11 billion | |
Perfumes (in Europe and USA) | $13 billion | |
Pet food (in Europe and USA) | $17 billion | |
Cigarettes (in Europe) | $50 billion | |
Narcotic drugs (in the world) | $400 billion | |
Military spending (in the world) | $780 billion |
These figures speak for themselves. They show that there is enough money in the richer nations to easily meet the most basic needs of the world's poor without making any real impact on our quality of life.

Structural Convergence under Reversible and Irreversible Monetary Unification
We explore endogenous monetary unification in the context of a model in which a country with serious structural distortions (and, hence, high inflation) is admitted into a monetary union once its economic structure has converged sufficiently towards that of the existing participants. If unification is reversible, so that the new entrant can always be forced to leave the union again later, convergence stops for a while after the high inflation country has joined. With irreversible unification, temporary divergence occurs, and unification is most likely to be delayed.Download Info

There would be no crackers named Little Ragghi, if not for Jean Norwood and her husband Tee Norwood.
I have not forgotten the day, walking into The Gourmet Store behind the
restaurant. After baking crackers the day before and wondering how
could the owner of the store need more crackers? They couldn't have
used a 10 gallon container, already. To my shock there was a sign above
the counter, stating Little Ragghi's Cracker for sale. First of all
the crackers were for tasting, not selling, but most important, who said
they could take my name. I remember, running not walking, to find the
owner and let him know that was my name and to take it off the crackers.
As, Guy tried to explain he had written about me and would make a
donation to any organization of my choice, it didn't matter because our
names mean so much more. That is a story for another time.
I walked out the door and called Jean Norwood to explain what had
happened and asked would she and Chief Tee come and talk to Guy because
he didn't understand why I was upset. Jean asked me to fax the
information and she would call back. As I worked I would look out the
window watching to see Chief Tee and Jean riding up in their 1951 Chevy
Truck named Possum. No such luck, Jean called to say thy both agreed
that it was a way to give back to our people and as long as Guy did
things in a good way, it was okay. But that would mean I was
responsible to make sure things were done in a good way, after all I
know what our names mean to our people.
It has been an exciting advantage and hard journey these past years and many things have happened to change our lives.
On June 28, 2010, Tee Norwood was diagnosed with cancer and life was
changed forever. Because of the cancer Tee found it almost impossible
to eat. Jean would cook or buy whatever Tee thought he could eat or
wanted to try to eat. Often he would say "I think I could eat a few of
Rag's crackers.' Tee never called me Ragghi just 'Rags'. I made sure
there were always fresh crackers for him to eat and share with his
visitors. We give bulk bags of crackers to the cancer center on every
On October 22, 2010 Chief Tee Norwood crossed over and we cried out and
continue to grieve hearing Tee call out my name 'Rags'. When I think
about the crackers I remember Jean and Tee Norwood gave me the wisdom to
trust that it would be a good thing.
Participants in the Flying With Eagles camp are Native American youth
aged 13-18 years, who are emerging leaders in their communities. Each
person makes a covenant to act in an honorable way, "It means to be in
touch with the Creator to get you spiritually, physically, and
educationally ready to be a messenger and to help other people." The
Flying With Eagles training builds leadership skills and helps the youth
to achieve their vision and make a difference in their communities;
these communities that face many challenges. The camp is run entirely
by volunteers, and funds are raised so that the youth do not have a
financial barrier to participate.
Flying With Eagles grew out of a gathering of Native American youth from
the Northeast/Central Region in 1994. Elders and youth discussed how
to address challenges faced by Native American youth, including drug and
alcohol use, broken-ness in families, suicide, and connecting Native
American identity and Christian faith. Today, Flying With Eagles events
have been held in South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio,
and Rhode Island. The last Flying With Eagles camp had 20 youth
participating and included training on the Return to the Earth project,
flute making, and leadership development.
We are currently in the planning stage to hold the next Flying With
Eagles camp in Fall of 2011 in New Jersey. The program receives funding
from the North Central Jurisdiction, United Methodist Church, several
annual conferences, and this year greater New Jersey CONAM is hosting
the Flying With Eagles camp. We are celebrating 15 years of making a
difference in the lives of youth, and supporting them as they take on
the role of being messengers for the Creator in their communities and
the world.
Thank you for the team, who gives so much and asks for nothing in return.
Honoring the passing of an influential elder in our community. Tee was a
faithful and involved member of Indian Mission UMC. His life was a
prayer of service to the community. He brought people together, and he
was a living example of the Spirit of Christ. We miss him.
Tidewater Laughing Wolf. James Tyrone "Tee" Norwood. Chief Tee.
Nanticoke Indian Chief. President Emeritus of Indian River Fire
Company. Beloved Husband. Son. Brother. Uncle. Nephew. Steadfast
friend. Veteran. Farmer. Possum driver (1951 Chevy pickup truck).
Care giver. Singer. Traditional dancer. No single name can capture
this man, whose spirit walked on to join Creator on October 22, 2010
after 68 cycles around the sun.
The tide has moved out, and we are left amazed by all of the gifts left
on the shore, glittering in the sun. Homegrown fruits and vegetables. A
higher education scholarship for Nanticoke youth. Transfer of
ownership of Nanticoke Indian Center from state of Delaware back to the
Nanticoke people. A warm smile, laughter, and good feelings that come
from the heart, and a love that never ends. Tee's influence will
continue, as we take the leadership example and inspiration he provided
and apply it to the work we do and the why we live our lives.

Leadership Academy was held in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2011. To address
NAIC mission to be educated about Native peoples of the American tribes
that includes Native Hawaiians, 2011 was all about meeting, listening
to, visiting with and being a part of Native Hawaiian issues and life
for a few days.
We arrived Monday, July 18 to news that a Japanese Tea Ceremony is
planned for sunrise the next morning at Pearl Harbor to "honor war dead
and all those who gave their lives to bring democracy and peace and heal
the wounds of war." Meant as an act of reconciliation and a symbol of
peace, I felt this was a sign for us at NAIC that an act of
reconciliation and peace welcoming us to our journey with Native
Hawaiians also.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Leadership Academy was opened with a welcome by
Anne Marshall and Rev. Dr. Kaleo Patterson. A welcome chant and
overview of the coming week was presented. Rev. Patterson is UCC
Clergy, Native Hawaiian, Professor at University of Hawaii.
Haaheo Guanson, PhD, presented gifts to NAIC leadership and explained
the symbology of the print on fabric that was gifted. Dr. Watson is
Professor of Peace Studies at University of Hawaii Board member of
Homeland Ministries, UCC, and Executive Director at the Pacific Justice and Reconciliation Center.
Dr. Ku Mu Kapu Jean Rasor, A lead anthropologist and Native Hawaiian
elder and knowledge keeper, briefed us on burial, sacred sites and
political issues. Dr. Rasor explained burial beliefs and practices
among the islands and communities and history. Islanders have always
been monotheistic (one God) as have the mainland Native people,
therefore, Christianity was very compatible – until some systems wanted
to control, change and diminish Native beliefs.
Mr. KanaLoa Koko, Native Hawaiian descendent of the Monarchy and a
worker for sovereignty spoke to us about the past occupation issues and
current political sovereignty issues. He shared his contemporary
perspective about found burials and the process of handling reburials.
He believes the ancestors would not want to stifle progress and change
for the future generations. To be respectful and caring culturally is
more important than stopping all progress and leaving remains as found.
Ask: what does the community believe? What are the issues involved?
Rev. Patterson explained the apology offered Native people by the United
Church of Christ in 1993. The essence of this apology was about
confusing the ways of the 'west' as the ways of Christ. He encouraged
Native people of UMC to have a 'special forces team' to keep the wheels
turning in the church, as well as the Native communities.
Tuesday and Wednesday was filled with information and prayers and hopes
for a future of goodness and understanding and respect for our Native
peoples and communities and churches.
Several hours was spent with Dr. Kujhio Vogeler and his thesis
concerning the different perspectives of the Hawaiian recognition and
sovereignty issues. Self Determination is the core of any of the issues
and you can see his thesis at www.KuhioVogeler.wordpress.com.
Different factions hold some similar beliefs, but main differing
desires for recognition. Whether, citizenship before occupation, Native
blood line, or resident issues, the questions will continue to divide
Wednesday morning, Bishop Swenson joined us to speak about Acts of Repentance 2012 and visit with participants.
Rev. Patterson had a few recommendations for post AOR: Hold annual
events at large UMC's and ask, "What have you done? What are you doing?
What will you do?" I would add, ask these questions of our UM Boards
and Agencies, as well as our Conferences.
Wednesday afternoon we boarded city buses to visit the Palace of the
last Queen of Hawaii who was imprisoned there by US military. Rev.
Patterson had us walk through the east gates backwards as a symbol of
always looking forward from the Palace. He walked us around the grounds
and explained the burial site on the palace grounds and the alter
constructed there by contemporary activists.
Thursday we boarded a yellow school bus (no air conditioning) to tour a
local site along the Waianae shores. Rev. Patterson explained the
'homelands' issues and showed us where he grew up in Makaka area and how
expensive, even for Native people, to own a home there. We were
honored to experience the ancient sacred temple site at Kaneaki Heiau.
We saw the Makua Valley and heard about the militarization by the US of
this beautiful homeland valley. A barge in the harbor was busy clearing
an old ammunition dump visible along the highway. That afternoon we
were met by Rev. Patterson's daughters and nephew who spent the morning
making lunches for hundreds of 'houseless' families who live along the
Keaau beach there. [Houseless – not homeless. They are home; they just
can't afford to have a permanent house to live in.] We were privileged
to say a prayer with some of the folks and hand out lunches.
Friday we got on the yellow school bus and headed for the other side of
the island to visit the women's prison. We heard the stories earlier in
the week about the US prison system sending Hawaiian Native people to
private prisons on the mainland. What a hardship it, obviously, was for
family to visit – if ever and the religious practices issues in the
mainland systems. Awful stories. A federal suit was won to allow
Native harvest ceremony (Makahiki) and cultural education in the prisons
for Native inmates. In Hawaii local elders are working with three
facilities and inmates.
Our designation Friday was the women's prison facility. We were greeted
by the signs listing all the things we could NOT take in the facility
with us. The warden (Red. Patterson's little brother) allowed cameras,
water bottles and approved gifts for the women. Everything else –
locked in a car in the parking lot. This visit will be remembered by
all who attended as a unique and moving experience. The ladies
(inmates) introduced themselves to us and in Native Hawaiian fashions
made by them for the occasion, dances hula and sang for us. One of our
youth participants brought her regalia and demonstrated a fancy shawl
dance. Then everyone joined in a huge circle to round dance. There was
much laughter and visiting. The ladies sang several songs they learned
in church services and Rev. Kirby Verrett (Houma) shared a message of
hope and goodwill. Warden Patterson explained the 'system' in Hawaii
and how he hopes to make many positive changes for his facility, with
gardens and vocational training among them. Gifts were exchanged and
Rev. Patterson's support crew brought lunch for NAIC visitors.
Friday closing dinner and gift giving was a photo op for all. Chants
were offered and taught to participants. Thanks were said and truly
meant – ma halo to all NAIC planning team and Hawaiian leadership for a
memorable learning experience.
The crispness of the air and the beauty of the fall skies were signs that the winter moons were soon approaching. The indigenous people of this land were gathering and preparing, for the winter moons were long and food would be scarce.
Winter was story telling time. A time when those who had crossed over were remembered in a story. A time when those who had done good things for the people were honored in a story. A time when the children heard stories that taught them their history and lessons that would help them understand the circle of life and their part in it.
Winter, a season of reflection. Time to reconnect with others in our circle of life. Sharing a meal, hearing other's stories, sharing stories of our own. Reflecting upon season's past and the people we met, experiences we had. Taking the lessons that have been given to us and committing to use them to become a better person in our short but purposeful life.
As winters of ole fade away into distant memories, we face the winter of now. Take time to gather with those dear to your heart. Share a meal, listen to stories, share your own story and reconnect so the circle of life stays strong.
Little Ragghi's crackers wishes you a Happy New Year and a winter that will linger in your memory for many seasons to come. May you walk the path of peace and bring to others the gift of connection.

Games for older macs
Hey everyone,
I've just been looking for games to install on my MacBook and it looks like I'm in this terrible limbo land where my graphics card is too old for newer games and no Rosetta for older ones. I have the late '08 black MacBook (for anyone that remembers it) running Lion. Mine has -2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor -4GB DDR2 RAM -Intel GMA X3100 144 MB Graphics (unfortunately) I'm sure theres still heaps of people around rocking this type of computer, can anyone recommend me any games at all? Just something pretty casual, I'm no big gamer but I'm looking for more thrills than say solitaire has to offer. Thanks! |

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stocks sank Thursday as uncertainty over U.S. monetary policy led to more declines on Wall Street. Japanese shares stood out with massive losses and a move back into bear-market territory as a further rally in the yen thrashed exporters.
The Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK +0.69% plummeted 6.4% to end at 12,445.38 in Tokyo for its sixth loss in seven trading days. The drop marked the benchmark's decline for a seventh straight Thursday, including the 7.3% plunge on May 23.
The selloff came as the U.S. dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY -0.2956% fell as low as ¥93.76 during the session, nearly two full yen lower than the ¥95.61-level seen in North America late on Wednesday. The drop followed a third straight session of losses for U.S. stocks Wednesday, on concerns the Federal Reserve could taper down its bond purchases.
The dollar's tumble against the yen "will put regional markets under pressure, but it may also [force] the U.S. Fed to reconsider its tapering plans in the face of a global sell off," said Kim Eng Securities director of sales trading Andrew Sullivan.
The Nikkei's 6.4% drop put it 21.9% off from its intraday peak reached on May 23. A bear market is generally defined as a price decline of 20% or more over at least a two-month period, though the current fall has been in a much shorter time frame. The Nikkei briefly entered bear-market territory last Friday.
Elsewhere in the region, Singapore's Straits Times Index lost 0.7% in afternoon trade. The index had dropped much further earlier in the day to enter a so-called correction territory — widely regarded as a 10% drop from a recent peak. Stocks in some other Southeast Asian markets suffered much bigger losses, with the Philippine stock benchmark ending 6.8% lower, while Thailand's SET slid 4.6% by late afternoon.
The losses Wednesday on Wall Street reinforced "the notion that the market is similar to a junkie who needs a constant fix, which in this case comes in the form of monetary stimulus," said CMC Markets sales trader Miguel Audencial.
"Even a slight indication or the speculation that this stimulus will be scaled down may ignite a sell-off," Audencial said.
Meanwhile, China's Shanghai Composite /quotes/zigman/1859015/realtime CN:SHCOMP +0.10% tumbled 2.8% as the markets reopened for the first time this week after a string of holidays, giving investors a chance to react to a string of downbeat economic data released over the weekend, including the monthly trade and inflation figures.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI +0.02% skidded 2.2%, and South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/realtime KR:SEU +0.48% lost 1.4%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO +0.04% fell 0.6% to enter so-called correction territory — having dropped more than 10% from the highs reached in May. The benchmark declined despite official figures showing an unexpected improvement in employment trends during May.
Stock movers
In Japan, stocks found little respite as the U.S. dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY -0.2956% fell under the ¥94 level, raising more fears about the earnings outlook of companies with a significant international presence.
Shares of Fast Retailing Co. /quotes/zigman/139215/realtime JP:9983 +0.48% /quotes/zigman/527410/delayed/quotes/nls/frcoy FRCOY -0.95% skidded 8.6%, Hino Motors Ltd. /quotes/zigman/193240/realtime JP:7205 +2.05% /quotes/zigman/202872/delayed/quotes/nls/hinoy HINOY +0.11% slumped 9.9%, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. /quotes/zigman/198746/realtime JP:6305 +0.49% /quotes/zigman/529196/delayed/quotes/nls/htcmy HTCMY -0.27% plummeted 8.6% and Advantest Corp. /quotes/zigman/191696/realtime JP:6857 +0.09% /quotes/zigman/1498444/delayed/quotes/nls/ate ATE -1.44% lost 9.4%.
"The combination of elevated risk aversion and disappointment over recent policy announcements, in particular the lack of detail about Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe's 'third arrow,' has prompted ever more upside for the [yen]" said Crédit Agricole forex strategy chief Mitul Kotecha.
Chinese property developers and banks suffered heavy losses during the session.

Adrian Gonzalez isn't out of town yet, but he's gone from shelves around Fenway Park. A worker at the Twins souvenir shop across the street from Fenway was spotted taking down a poster of Gonzalez on Friday, likely with the expectation that the Red Sox first baseman is heading to Los Angeles. T-shirt vendors inside the stadium were also seen taking down the Gonzalez t-shirt jersey from stalls. Since nothing is official yet, we can only assume that the stores are just trying to get ahead of the curve on this one. After all, throwback jerseys are more valuable, right?...

I just installed the upgrade version of Lightroom 4 (I have been using the 4 Beta) and there was no promt for me to enter my serial #?
I Used app Zapper to remove Lightroom 4, then reinstalled it and still no request for a password? It all works just fine but this seems strange?
Lightroom 4 is fantastic as is the Beta of PC CS6
Your serial number is not erased by uninstalling Lightroom. The serial number from the Beta is stored in a file on your computer, and it may be valid for you full version of Lightroom, but it will expire and give you trouble later.
The best thing to do is go to Help > Lightroom Registration. Likely, you will see name and address fields. Ignore this and look at the left hand column:
Licese or Try
Go to License and you will have the boxes to enter your serial number. Simply enter your serial number and click "Finish".
