AUGUSTA — Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew acknowledged Friday that she should have told lawmakers sooner about a computer problem that allowed 19,000 ineligible Mainers to receive Medicaid benefits.
Mayhew told the Legislature's budget-writing committee that program directors and a departmental steering committee had been made aware of the computer malfunction last year. However, she said, the problem didn't make its way to her office until late January.
Lawmakers have questioned why Mayhew withheld information that may have factored into decisions on a recently enacted spending bill designed to plug a $123 million gap at DHHS.
Mayhew told the Appropriations Committee she took full responsibility for not communicating the computer problem earlier. However, she stressed that the only reason she didn't report the malfunction in January was because she did not yet have a full analysis of its impact.
The department still doesn't. Mayhew said Friday it could take about a month to determine how many people got health benefits when they were ineligible.
DHHS sent individuals letters notifying them they could no longer use their Medicaid or MaineCare cards. However, at the same time, the state's payment system was loading the cards with benefits that could be used at hospitals.
If enough individuals used the cards, the fiscal impact could be significant. It's likely the federal government, which pays two-thirds of the Medicaid program, will try to recoup the losses.
Democrats said that not disclosing the computer problem when lawmakers were working on the DHHS budget called into question the data the department provided to lawmakers.
"What I've found disturbing about this is that this information was withheld from us at a time when we were reviewing proposals from the governor that would have kicked 65,000 people off MaineCare," said Rep. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston, adding that lawmakers had been assured that the data provided by DHHS was accurate.
She added, "There's a level of trust that needs to exist between the legislative and the executive branches. That trust needs to be repaired."
Mayhew stressed that communications between her and program directors had to improve. She said the glitch had been identified as one of 1,600 reported defects with the system; however, its significance had not been communicated, or perhaps even fully understood, by her program directors.
"On behalf of the entire agency, let me assure you that there was no intent to withhold information from this committee," Mayhew said.
Issues with payments going to ineligible Medicaid recipients had been identified by state auditors beginning last summer.
State Auditor Neria Douglass said the full audit for the 2010-11 fiscal year isn't due until the end of the month. However, Douglass said that as auditors encounter errors — such as benefits to ineligible recipients — members of her team inform the appropriate program directors at DHHS.
Douglass said she first began hearing from her staff about potential wrongful Medicaid payments last summer.
Mayhew acknowledged that state auditors had expressed concerns about the "lack of action" on some of the identified problems. However, she said, communication in her department wasn't what it should have been.
She described the directors as working "inside of silos" instead of communicating with each other, or with her.
It's also possible that the program directors were inexperienced. Mayhew said earlier this week that the program managers who would have been notified of the problem were the director of MaineCare Services, the MaineCare finance director and the director for the Office of Family Independence.
The directors are political appointees of the governor. Gov. Paul LePage, in an effort to implement his new policy initiatives, last year jettisoned a host of program directors from DHHS, including all three directors from the aforementioned offices.
Two of the replacement directors were new to the agency. A third was promoted from within DHHS.
Additionally, implementing the state's new Medicaid eligibility system has proven problematic. Mayhew said her staff had been "drinking from a fire hose" since the system was installed in 2010.
Of the 1,600 defects in the system, 1,300 have been addressed.
Mayhew said a fix for the current computer problem has been identified but not yet implemented.
The state in 2010 upgraded its eligibility system. It was recently certified by the federal government. However, its payment system is more than 10 years old.
Problems with the state's Medicaid eligibility and billing systems are not confined to this year, or to the LePage administration. The Baldacci administration faced multiple issues with the DHHS systems and invited federal scrutiny.
In 2005, doctors were forced to turn away MaineCare patients because the state was too slow in reimbursing claims.
Over the next four weeks, DHHS staff will try to determine how many ineligible individuals continued to get taxpayer-funded health care coverage because of the glitch.
The Legislature was supposed to begin addressing another funding gap for fiscal year 2013. However, work on that budget will likely be delayed until Mayhew presents her fiscal analysis of the ineligible Medicaid recipients.
Removing the 19,000 ineligible recipients is likely to reduce the 2013 funding gap.
The Legislature is scheduled to adjourn in early April.

BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY BREAKS TRADITION TO CELEBRATE ITS 14th ANNUAL GALA "READING THE FUTURE" AT WILLIAMSBURG'S BROOKLYN BOWL
(Brooklyn, NY) October 18, 2010 — On November 18, Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) will break from tradition as it hosts its 14th Annual Gala, "Reading the Future" at the trendy Brooklyn Bowl, located on Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg. The event will mark the first time BPL has hosted its Annual Gala at a place other than Central Library's Grand Lobby, which is being prepped to undergo a transformation to a new state-of-the-art Information Commons.
Emmy-nominated actress Hope Davis will host the evening's cocktail party and dinner, beginning at 6 PM. Sharon Jones & The Dap- Kings will keep the crowd entertained with their music as guests enjoy food from Blue Ribbon. Performance artists, "The Bumbys," will captivate guests with their quick- witted personalized poems dashed off from a manual typewriter.
"Brooklyn Public Library is a place on the move: serving more people and helping to change more lives than ever before in its history," said Anthony W. Crowell, Chair, Brooklyn Public Library Board of Trustees. "This is going to be a fun evening at an exciting venue with people who share a passion and commitment to support the Library and promote its fundamental role for our many communities, now and in the future."
"I am looking forward to my first Brooklyn Public Library Gala. Our largest fundraiser of the year, the gala draws guests from throughout the borough and citywide, including our most loyal patrons, community and corporate leaders, government officials, and members of the civic and philanthropic communities," said Linda E. Johnson, Interim Executive Director of Brooklyn Public Library.
The night will also celebrate the literary and creative spirit of the Library as BPL honors two Brooklyn writers: Brooklyn's Poet Laureate, Tina Chang and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Lynn Nottage.
"The Library has served as a personal space for reflection, inspiration, and it is now a source of education for my growing family. It has solidified and expanded my immense love for words and literature and, in this way, it has guided me to my chosen vocation. I am who I am because of the Library's existence," says Chang.
The evening will also include a silent auction featuring:
• A Set visit for two to the hit television show Gossip Girl
• Premium seats to a Knicks home game and a jersey signed by Amare Stoudemire
• A Personal charter on the New York Water Taxi for 50 guests
• Dinner for four at New York's iconic River Café
• A Baking lesson in your home for you and 20 guests with Matt Lewis owner of Red Hook's acclaimed Baked
• Dinner with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage and orchestra seats to her new play By the Way, Meet Vera Stark.
This year's After-Party will be co-hosted by the Desk Set, an informal group of librarians, archivists, Library Science students and other individuals who love books, and will begin at 9PM to keep the fun going and include even more library supporters. The After-Party will offer an open bar until 10PM and an additional performance at 9:30PM by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Tickets are available in advance on Brooklyn Public Library's website for $35 or at the door for $40. After Party guests are invited to stay for the whole night and join the regularly occurring Thursday night party at Brooklyn Bowl, featuring music by DJ Questlove.
100 percent of gala proceeds will support free educational and cultural programs and the purchase of books and materials at all 60 BPL locations.

Of the 14 City Council candidates on the ballot last week, two of the top three fundraisers collected the bulk of their campaign cash from donors living outside the city.
James Jajuga, who topped the ticket on election day, raised $9,220 during the campaign — the most money among council candidates. Council Chairman Sean Fountain raised $8,280 while Daniel Grayton pulled in $7,065.
But unlike Fountain, who received most of his political donations from city residents and groups, the majority of the money raised by Jajuga and Grayton came from outside Methuen.
Both Jajuga and Grayton won election in the race for three councilor-at-large seats and will join the council in January. Voters also re-elected six councilors and challenger George Kazanjian.
Candidates are required under state law to detail campaign fundraising and spending in reports that include itemized lists of all donations greater than $50. The reports list all fundraising and spending this year through Oct. 18.
Of the 52 itemized donations in Jajuga's report, 13 are from Methuen residents and 39 are from outside the city. Grayton's report lists 51 donations — 16 from Methuen and 35 from outside individuals or groups.
In Fountain's report, 35 of 45 itemized donations are from Methuen individuals and groups. The 10 outside donations came from Lawrence, Haverhill, Andover, North Andover, Dracut, Seabrook, N.H., and Atkinson, N.H.
Jajuga only received $470 in donations of $50 or less, according to his report. His non-Methuen donations came from Lawrence, Haverhill, Andover, North Andover, Dracut, Tewksbury, Chelmsford, Lowell, Boston, Newburyport, Stoneham, and in New Hampshire the communities of Salem, Windham, Seabrook, Hudson, Hampton Falls and Auburn.
All together, 75 percent of donors who gave Jajuga more than $50 live outside Methuen, though several of them own or work for area businesses including Methuen Construction, Trinity Ambulance, Coady's Towing, among others.
Jajuga said his donor list consists of friends and associates from his time working as a state trooper, state senator, the state's secretary of public safety and the president of the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce.

With Winter around the corner, many may be wondering how to keep the heat in their homes, during the cold Winter months. But there's a program you may qualify for to help with that struggle.The Human Resource Development Council, or HRDC, has a program dedicated to helping those in need stay warm in their homes. "Our ultimate goal is people to not go without heat. It shouldn't be an option now-a-days where we definitely have all the resources to help folks so that they don't go without heat," says Amber Uzelac, Program Coordinator for HRDC's Low Income Energy Assistance Program. Also known as LIEAP, the program strives to help those who can't afford to pay their energy bills. "A lot of clients are living just paycheck to paycheck which most Montanans are I think, and to be able to have one bill that's covered for seven months is really stress relieving."If you qualify for the program, you'll receive financial assistance, and can be included in the Client Education Program where you'll learn how to save even more."We show people how to save money with their lighting, their heating, and air sealing," says Tony Mullen, Weatherization Inspector for HRDC.Those who qualify for LIEAP are automatically added to the priority list for the Weatherization and Client Education Program. "We give people the tools they need so they can maintenance appliances themselves and make them run more energy efficiently," says Mullen.Here are some extra tips from HRDC's Weatherization and Client Education program:Regularly clean your furnace filters and replace every one to three months, which can be purchased at your local home improvement store.Clean dust out of the coils of your fridge.Air sealing can be achieved by caulking, spray foam, weather strips, and window plastic, and can really make a big difference in the amount of air coming in. Install insulated covers over window air conditions and swamp coolers if removal is not an option. Use foil tape and/or mastic for leaks in ducting up to the floor.To insulate, seal first, and then insulate. Adding insulation to your home will not be effective if heat can travel through the cracks. If you can see light under a door, cold air is getting in or out.For every one degree you turn your heater down you can save 1% on your energy costs.Turn your water heater to 120 degrees instead of 140 or 160, which is where most are set. Heating water is between 15-30% of energy consumption. Installing insulation on the tank and water lines along with setting the thermostat back to 120 degrees and flushing the sediment from the tank regularly can save 16%.Lighting makes up 11% of energy consumption. Switching to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and turning off things when not being used can save up to 75%.Depending on age, switching to energy star appliances could pay for themselves in the long run.To find out more information about HRDC's LIEAP or Weatherization and Client Education program, or to apply, click on Connections.

Longboat Key Club gets in the game for the cure
Date: January 13, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
The events promise fun and games, but the mission is a life-saving one: to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
In the 10 years since the first "Go for the Cure" event took place at the Longboat Key Club, the Longboat Key Club-based chapter of the foundation has raised more than $400,000, making it the largest contributor in the state. Last year's events were sellouts and raised more than $62,000; organizers hope to top that total this year.
Game Day takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27, at the Harbourside Dining Room. The event is open to both Key Club members and non-members and will feature games such as bridge, mahjong, canasta, gin and poker — or whatever games participants choose.
"We're anticipating a fun-filled afternoon," said Bette Hoffman, who is co-chairing Game Day with Fremajane Wolfson.

Marion Levine, past chairwoman of the event who is serving as an adviser, said that the majority of the money raised at the event stays in the community.
"Everyone can look forward to someday making strides to end this disease," she said. "It is our goal to raise more money to distribute in this community."

Perhaps the case may be similar in the West; there may be a few paramahansas who are living in mad asylums, because you don't have any other category. Once a man starts behaving in a bizarre, berserk manner, he is mad. So on both sides there is confusion. But I think, still, the Eastern confusion is better. There is no harm in worshipping a madman; you are not doing any harm. But to put a paramahansa into a madhouse and force him through medicines and injections and treatment to come back into the mind is real harm.
Western psychology has still no category for the second one, which it needs. But that category will arise only when it accepts supermind. Before Sigmund Freud it had not even accepted the unconscious mind - only the conscious mind. For thousands of years in the West there was no idea of the unconscious mind.
With Sigmund Freud, the unconscious mind became established. With Jung, the collective unconscious mind became established. Now somebody is needed to establish the cosmic unconscious mind. A tremendous field is available for any genius to establish it. Because in the Eastern psychology all these three are accepted, have been accepted for thousands of years.
This is below the conscious mind. Above the conscious mind are also three: the superconscious, the collective superconscious, and the cosmic superconscious. On those, no work has been even started. The second category of madmen that I am talking about is somewhere in these three categories; certainly in the superconscious but perhaps if it grows deeper, it may become collective superconscious.
And in a man like Ramakrishna it is cosmic superconscious.
When he was dying he had a cancer of the throat, and it became impossible for him to eat anything or drink anything. His followers were telling him again and again, "You just close your eyes and tell the existence - it will listen to you." He would close his eyes, but would forget all about it. After a while, when he would open his eyes.the disciples were waiting; they would say, "What happened?"
He said, "Nothing, because when I close my eyes everything becomes silent. What are you expecting to happen?"
They said, "We had asked you to ask existence.." Finally they forced his wife, Sharda: "Perhaps only you can persuade him."
Unwillingly, reluctantly, she asked him. With tears in her eyes she said, "I don't want to tell you to do anything because that is interfering, and my whole life I have never said a single word to interfere. You are far above; my hands cannot reach. But because these people are so deeply in anguish, I have agreed to say to you, just once: Close your eyes and ask existence, 'What are you doing to me? Remove this cancer from my throat.'"
He said, "Because you have never asked anything - every wife is asking everything, any day, every day; for your whole life you have never asked anything - and this is maybe my last day, or last days, I will fulfill it."
He closed his eyes, opened his eyes and said, "Sharda, I asked. And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Ramakrishna, can't you drink with other people's throats? Can't you eat with other people's throats? Do you necessarily need your own? Are you still attached to your own body?'

Mt. Moosilauke
Glencliff Trail --> Carriage Road --> Summit --> Back
Distance: 7.232 mi.
Elevation Gain: 3263 ft.
Time: 3:30 (ascent)
4:15 (total)
The trail starts off very gentle following the edge of a couple fields before going into the woods for good. It isn't overly steep but steadily gains elevation. There are few rocks during this section of trail making pretty easy and a good warm up for the rest of the hike.
Early section of trail
All along trail there are plenty of trees that have broken off or fallen. Some have been there for many years and some have fallen recently. You will also find there are many brooks that are next to, crossing, or running down the trail. But even with this, it isn't overly muddy.
Fallen tree
After hiking for quite a while (2 miles?), you will come to the steepest section of the hike. But even this isn't that bad. There are no large rocks to climb up or over.
Steeper section of trail
Since it was a cold and windy day with some morning clouds, I started to see ice forming on the trees around 4,000 ft.
Some ice on the needles
Once you reach the junction with the Carriage Road Trail, it becomes quite easy walking. You are on the ridge between the summit and the south peak, so there is no steep sections or hard parts. This was where I started seeing many more trees with ice forming on them.
Carriage Road trail
The walk along the ridge was quite easy and made for a short trip to the summit.
Summit in some clouds
I never really did get much of a view to the North. The clouds were in and out (mostly in), making views limited. I could mostly see to the South and sometimes the East and West. Normally I would have waited a while for some better photos, but it was a little chilly and VERY windy. It was even hard to stand still at times while taking photos.
I decided it would be best to start heading back down the mountain and get to where the trees could provide me some shield from the wind.
Heading back down the trail
The Eastern side of the mountain
While hiking back on the ridge, I was able to look back and have a beautiful view of the summit I had just left. It made quite the seen with the blue sky above and the ice on the trees and rocks. This was probably the best part of the hike and I was now headed back down with a big smile on my face.
View back to the summit
All in all this was a great hike and not as hard as I was expecting with the elevation of the summit. Even with the high winds on the summit I still had a great time and enjoyed myself a lot. It was great to see everything there and even better having it to myself as I never saw a single person.

Minety woman in court after claiming she was a registered nurse
11:36am Monday 24th February 2014 in North Wilts news
A WOMAN who falsely claimed she was a registered nurse, when she was not, has been released on bail by a judge.
Susan Crawford admitted earning money by making the bogus claim when she appeared at Swindon crown court.
The 50-year-old, of Upper Minety, pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception.
She admitted that from the start of February to the end of April 2003 she received payment by falsely representing she was a qualified registered nurse.
Fiona Elder, defending, asked for the case to be adjourned so the probation service can compile a pre-sentence report.
Recorder James Watson QC put the case back until Wednesday April 16 and released Crawford on bail.

(AP) A Carnival cruise ship that experienced technical issues with its propulsion system and canceled one stop has arrived as scheduled in Tampa, Fla.
The Carnival Legend reduced its speed because of the problem and did not stop at the Grand Cayman Islands. Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen says Legend arrived about 7 a.m. Sunday in Tampa, and passengers were off the ship by the normal debarkation time of 10:30 a.m.
Carnival stresses in a statement that the Legend's safety systems, steering and services onboard are functioning normally.
Gulliksen says Legend should depart on time Sunday afternoon for its next trip, at a slightly reduced speed and with one itinerary change. He says the ship will stop in Costa Maya, Mexico, instead of Grand Cayman because it is a closer port.

Upcoming changes to the MVP forum
When the MVP forum came together the original plan was to eventually open it up to the community in some way. Without going into too much detail right now, we can let you know that we are changing the following:
Darkball - The Sport of Life and Death
Darkball Origins
Darkball started as a thought of having a fun competitive team sport tournament within Darkfall Unholy Wars, other than the PvP arena tournaments we host. At the time, the 2014 FIFA World Cup was in progress, so with that on our mind, a ball-game was envisioned. It started with a teaser and some background information:
Quests are coming soon
Agon has stories to share and, this Fall, we aim to begin unleashing them upon you! Our first batch of quests aim to tell the first tales of the Unholy Wars and let you explore the first chapter of Agon's recent history (as well as a fair glimpse into its ancient past). New players and old alike will find a host of new journeys and adventures to unlock and discover, from the readily available to the hidden and obscure!
This latest quest system has allowed us to craft some fairly open-ended journeys for you to discover however you please.
Siege Engine Patch
Today's Patch contains the first installment of the new siege engines, and more!
Important Announcement regarding city walls
Important Announcement: this Thursday all city walls will be reduced to rubble. Read on for more details
Darkfall Balance Patch, D.U.E.L and HUD update
Darkfall Unholy Wars' latest patch addresses combat balance, combat awareness, and introduces a shop item which helps players renew their Darkfall subscriptions:

Well MHR and Broncos Country we our headed to the AFC Championship against the team that has had ours and Peytons number. Could we ask for a better scenario as football fans?
This year I won my Big money Fantasy Football league and had an extra 1200 bucks to spare so I finally am coming to Denver for my first Mile High Experience. What better game to come to. I live in California and have attended numerous Raider/Broncos games but it just never had a good feel to it being that Raider fans are barbarian thugs. I mean 80 percent of my family bleeds Silver and Black so I love it.
I have never been more excited for a trip in my life. This is all i've wanted since I was little and am so pumped for this game. Is it Sunday yet? If anyone has any advice for the game. Like how early I should get to the stadium. Can I walk from the downtown area where my hotel is? Best bars downtown? How early should I get to the game? Heck if anyone wants to let me join their tailgate party I'll bring some brewskis. Anyways I am pumped and feel like a little kid right now. Lets just hope it ends the way we all want by taking down the evil Pats Empire!!

DAVAO CITY, Oct. 03 (PIA) – The Department of Finance (DOF) and the Insurance Commission (IC) recently introduced in the region an alternative dispute resolution mechanism for microinsurance to address complaints on benefit claims outside the courtroom.
The DOF and IC created the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Microinsurance (ADReM) method aiming at minimizing expenses, time and delays of litigation, and providing option for out-of-court resolution of disputes arising from denied microinsurance claims.
The mechanism also covers addressing complaints from those not fully paid within ten working days from receipt of complete documents.
However, the implementing guidelines set by IC in its Circular Letters do not stop the parties from seeking other modes of settlement.
The implementing guidelines feature ADReM's structural process described with the acronym LAPET which stands for least cost, accessible, practical, effective and timely.
IC deputy commissioner Ferdinand George Florendo said the ADReM processes are integrated as additional component in the country's microinsurance regulatory framework seeking to strengthen consumer protection in the microinsurance sector whose beneficiaries are mostly from the low-income group.
The ADReM implementing guidelines were issued to microinsurance providers such as the commercial insurance companies, mutual benefit associations and cooperative insurance societies that provide small and short-term insurance coverages to low-income members.
The IC has accredited 18 life microinsurance companies that shall respond to the needs and paying capacities of the low-income sector.
As part of the mechanism, a separate Circular Letter was set for the procedures of accrediting mediators-conciliators to sit in the ADReM.
The IC does the accreditation of individuals who voluntarily seek to be accredited and whose qualifications include competence, knowledge and training in the process of mediation-conciliation.
The accredited ADReM mediators-conciliators shall abide by the Code of Conduct to include ensuring that "the resolution of a dispute rests will be the responsibility of the parties concerned and that at all times will not pressure any of the parties into an agreement or make a substantive decision on behalf of any party."
Florendo said that they will be going around the country through public seminars to assure that people will know about the existence of ADReM.
"We plan to reach out to as many as we can. We will bring the mediators-conciliators to the communities," he stated.
The IC official said that this alternative dispute resolution method has long been conceptualized, but added that it is only now that it has been formalized.
The concept, he said, is part of the government's effort for inclusive growth in reaching out to the poorest of the poor.
Florendo disclosed that 2.9 million Filipinos are covered by microinsurance, of which figure represents slightly more than ten percent of the 25 million Filipino populace living below poverty level. (RGA/CLC/PIA-XI)

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana National Guard Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger and the commanding general of the 38th Infantry Division, Maj. Gen. Lonnie Culver, have announced a new command leadership team for the 38th Sustainment Brigade, headquartered in Kokomo.
Lt. Col. Troy Joslin will assume command of the brigade effective Dec. 1 with an assumption of command ceremony Dec. 8, 2013. Joslin was recently selected for promotion to colonel by the Department of the Army board. Command Sgt. Maj. Dale Shetler will assume responsibility as the brigade's senior enlisted leader.
Joslin, with almost 25 years in the Indiana National Guard, is both logistics and quartermaster qualified. He has served in a variety of logistics-related assignments since 2001 with the former 38th Division Support Command and was the full-time officer-in-charge of the reorganization of that headquarters into the 38th Sustainment Brigade and its relocation from Indianapolis to Kokomo. He commanded the 38th Division Special Troops Battalion from 2007 to 2009 and then deployed to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, as part of the 38th Division Headquarters where he served as "mayor" (chief of operations) of the largest military operating base (and busiest airfield) in theater comprising almost 30,000 military and civilian personnel. He also served as a senior logistics planner during the last 38th Division "Warfighter" command post exercise in 2007. Joslin serves as the executive officer to the 81st Troop Command.
Shetler has served as the 38th Sustainment Brigade Rear Detachment noncommissioned officer-in-charge since May 2012. He has extensive experience as a command sergeant major, having served in that capacity for the 38th Sustainment Brigade (2009-2011), 190th Transportation Battalion (2007-2009), and 138th Signal Battalion (2003-2006). He deployed to Baghdad, Iraq in 2006-07 with the 38th Division Support Command where he served as the "sheriff" (mayor cell noncommissioned officer-in-charge) of Camp Victory. Shetler has over 27 years of military service including active duty, U.S. Army Reserve, and the Indiana National Guard. He is vice president of software development for Hertzler Systems Inc. in Goshen.
The 38th Sustainment Brigade is approximately a 300-person logistics management headquarters with nearly 1,300 soldiers assigned in subordinate formations stationed throughout Indiana. The headquarters returned from deployment in June 2013. While headquartered in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, the command was responsible for orchestrating sustainment, maintenance, and personnel in- and out-processing operations in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan. They also supported the accountability, inventory, and return movement of military equipment and materials back to the United States.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Is Israel "the Jewish state"?
The answer may seem as obvious as the Star of David on the Israeli flag. Yet the question is starting to complicate the ambitious U.S. effort to ram through a peace deal between the Palestinians and Israel.
A broad-based group of Israelis plans to lobby the Knesset to declare the country, for the first time, a Jewish state by law. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel's Jewish status explicitly as part of any agreement.
"This is the Jewish land. This is the Jewish state," he said in a speech this week to assembled U.S. Jewish leaders. "When we make an agreement it is an agreement between the nation state of the Jewish people and a nation state of the Palestinian people."
Leading Palestinians made their opposition clear this week, insisting that by introducing the Jewish factor, Israel is drawing a red line that could doom negotiations.
"I remember the days when we were told, `All you need is to get the PLO to recognize Israel, and recognize Israel's right to exist in safe and secure boundaries," said Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The Palestinians did just that, she noted, as part of the 1990s interim peace agreements.
"The Jewishness of the state of Israel . this is a new addition," she told reporters Wednesday. "We are working to establish a pluralistic, democratic, inclusive state in Palestine. Not an exclusive state based on religion, ethnicity or whatever."
The Palestinians reject Israel's demand for pragmatic reasons as well: Embrace of Israel as a Jewish state would amount to giving up the dreams of Palestinian refugees to return to lost properties - the so-called "right of return" which is a central sticking point in peace talks. They also say it would undermine the rights of Israel's own Arab minority, the 20 percent of Israel's 8 million people who are themselves ethnic Palestinians.
Even some Israelis suspect the demand is intended to complicate - but the idea has wide support nonetheless. To be criticized even for the desire to have a state of their own - a dream allowed people the world over, from the Irish to the Iranians - chafes many Jewish Israelis
Israeli academic Avraham Diskin, a self-professed lifelong dove, said a Palestinian refusal meant perpetuating the conflict. "This is the minimal test to show that their face is to peace," he said.
Both sides are waiting to see whether the notion shows up in the framework proposal U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to table in coming weeks.
The U.S. usually doesn't recognize countries by ethnicities, but Deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the U.S. does recognize Israel as a Jewish state. In his State of the Union speech to Congress last month, President Barack Obama said the goals of the negotiations launched last July were "dignity and an independent state for Palestinians, and lasting peace and security for the State of Israel - a Jewish state that knows America will always be at their side."
Kerry himself implied support for the idea of a Jewish state by advising Israelis they must pull out of Palestinian-populated lands occupied in the 1967 war in order to retain a strong Jewish majority.
Indeed, if Israelis eventually hand over significant territories to a Palestinian state, the motivation will stem largely from a desire to unload their Palestinian population and leave themselves with a strong Jewish majority. An Israel that controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza - the areas occupied in 1967 - would have some 12 million people roughly evenly divided between the two groups.
Writing in the Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, liberal columnist Ari Shavit said: "The deal on the table is clear: A Jewish state in exchange for the 1967 borders." That, Shavit and others maintain, means the Palestinians must forget about a return by Arab refugees and their descendants to Israel.
But the notion of a Jewish state is a complicated one. By shining strong light on a matter that lives more comfortably in the shadows, Israel may be rekindling some awkward questions: Are the Jews a nation - or individuals who share a religion? Should a religion have a state? Should a state have a religion?
And beyond that lies a bigger issue still: Is the idea of a nation-state - with members of that nation fretting over how to stay dominant numerically - not somehow unbecoming in the age of globalization?

Forget the titled survivor of the U.S. Open that nobody seemed to want to win. Graeme Whatisname backed onto the champ's podium with a three over par 74.
The real story is, well, you know who. The guy who when curtly discussing his +4 Sunday round displayed all the grace but none of the humor of Hans Gruber, Alan Rickman's villain in "Die Hard."
Oh Tiger, how can we miss you if you won't go away?
The big question before the Open was whether we'd see an invigorated Woods, some of the same ol' same ol' of late, or the Tiger of yesteryear when he was Champion of the World and boffing every cocktail waitress in Vegas and every porno star not named Jenna Jameson?
Tiger Woods' fabled charges have never come on the final day of a major. Never. So I'd say it was classic Tiger yesterday. El Foldo. He's great when he's a front runner. But just the same as the other guys when but a contenda entering the final round.
He was never a factor yesterday. But he still got the majority of face time at all the sports sites today. I will say this, he looked dashing and absolutely mahvelous in all an cream ensemble during Saturday's round.
McDowell. Graeme McDowell, that's the champ's name. Self effacing. Humble. The last man standing at Pebble Beach.

Speaking of Tigers, how about Detroit's?
At 8-2, they're the hottest nine in the AL for the last ten games. Okay, other than Bozich's ChiSox and Dubya's Rangers, who are both 9-1. But, hey, the Motowners have started to play in the last couple weeks, gaining ground during interleague play on the division leading Twins.
Tonight they head to New Yawk to meet the also surging Metropolitans from the NL.

Yesterday was not the best of days for Gaul.
Qualifier Gregory Havret didn't have quite enough to birdie the 72d for a lead in the clubhouse in the Open. But he played great and stayed steady.
Which is more than you can say for the disappointing French team in the World Cup. They've got a tie and a loss and are facing elimination during group play. One of their leading players was kicked off the team for arguing with the coach. Who apparently none of the players like or respect. So the players didn't practice yesterday in protest. Then the administrator in charge of the team resigned his position, throwing his credentials on the ground and jumping in a limo and speeding off like he was Lindsay Lohan caught out and about drinking without her ankle bracelet.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
* * * * *
And, as if they wasn't enough poo poo ka ka, how about Kaka himself.
The star of Brazil's World Cup team caught two yellows near the end of a match yesterday with Ivory Coast, and will thus be ineligible for the Cup favorites' next match. Not that it matters. Brazil has already clinched a spot in the Round of 16.

In case you're keeping score at home:
Only 76 days until U of L and UK kickoff.
Only 116 days until hoops practice starts.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) – Battling against some of the best young chess players in the world, a local youngster has gained a global reputation.
It's 3:45 at Jerabek Elementary. Most of the students have gone home for the day. In one of the portable classrooms, the youngest members of the academic chess club are learning some classic moves. Out on the playground, more experienced players are going head to head. And then there's Alex Costello. At age 10, he's in a league of his own.
"I was doing really well against them. High ranked kids. Low ranked kids. I was beating everybody," Alex said.
Alex's mother Molly says he learned chess at age six from a babysitter.
"I was leaving Chutes and Ladders and Candyland out for the babysitter and the babysitter is like, 'Yeah, come on. He needs more,'" Molly said.
Alex joined Jerabek's acamedic chess club under the tutelage of coach C.J. Coldwell.
"Alex has always showed a tremendous focus and patience for the game," Coldwell said.
By age 8, he was competing in tournaments and gaining points, locally and nationally. Last year, he represented the us at the World Youth Chess Championships in Abu Dhabi.
"I did pretty well there. I had a plus record, won six games and lost five games. So, it was a good experience for me," Alex said.
Good enough for Alex to become one of the top 70 under 10 chess players in the world. And now he's got his focus is on becoming the best in the U.S. at next weekend's nationals.
"I'm going to try and get there," he said.
Alex has plenty of encouragement.
"I think it's a lot of work. He thinks it's a lot of fun. That's why we do it," Molly said. "He was an all-star from the beginning."
While this 10-year-old dreams of becoming the next Gary Kasparov, these Jerabek chess players may be hoping to become the next Alex Costello.

Film Review: 'The White Ribbon'
Date: March 10, 2010
by: Pam Nadon | Film critic
Leave it to director Michael Haneke to expertly explore the dark and disturbing side of human behavior. Not as terrifying as "Happy Games" (German 1997, U.S. 2007), "The White Ribbon" scares on a much more subtle level as its audience is left to ponder: What happened and why?
The film is set in a rural farming village just prior to World War I. A former teacher recounts a series of inexplicable and violent events, which shattered the tightly knit community. A wire strung between two trees causes the town doctor to be thrown from his horse. A farmer's wife dies after falling through rotten floorboards. The baron's son is kidnapped, bound and lashed with a whip. A barn is set afire and a worker hangs himself — just for starters. Are these merely coincidental accidents or malevolent acts perpetrated by some evil force lurking within their confines?
The horror and perplexity felt by the villagers force them to ask the unthinkable. Their authoritarian and strictly religious society is rocked to its core knowing that someone among them is responsible for the heinous crimes. But as the story unfolds, we learn that almost anyone, including the children, are capable of such evil.
Haneke's films often ask why bad things happen to good people. And, yet, can we be certain that these people are actually good? The dichotomy works well for this masterful director. The fear that exists in his work is the worst kind because it's happening to ordinary people. They could very well be you or me.
Each frame in "The White Ribbon" is a work of art. The exquisite cinematography by the gifted Christian Berger is beyond stunning. Shot in monochromatic black and white, the dark subject matter seems emphasized by the lack of color. Ironically, all of the scenes were originally shot in color and then altered to black and white post-production.
"The White Ribbon" has already won the Golden Palm at Cannes last year, a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film this year and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. I'm fairly sure, given so many accolades, this is one of the must-see films for 2010.

I really don't have enough good things to say about the Kershaw Blur. The spring assist basically makes it a blade activated switch blade without any of the legal constrains (as far as I know anyway) which is pretty cool. The metal handle with grip inserts is pretty awesome especially at this knife's competitive price point.
The blade is very sharp and well designed. I find the curved swooping back of the blade a bit awkward aesthetically but it puts the point in the right place (centered) which is what really matters. It cuts the heck out of everything I've given a go at which is all you can ask for a knife. The edge seems to be holding nicely.
The clip is very secure and well designed. I appreciate that it securely holds the knife in it's place using a simplistic design with two screws. Too many folks skip the design portion of a clip and try to make it secure with more screws which makes for a bulkier clip. The only issue I have is that (at least on my particular model) there are only holes for the clip on the right side which would be awkward for lefties. It can be tip up or down which is better than some models.
Right now the role my Blur has found is as a "get off me blade". Given that small daggers and push knives can be legally problematic and even a small fixed blade is fairly long for EDC in my lifestyle a folder is the available option. I appreciate the easy opening feature even more with my weak hand. It's riding OWB clipped to my belt at about 9 o'clock. Seems pretty secure plus at their excellent price point if it gets lost I'll order another then put it into a sheath in the same place.
Depending on where you shop a Kershaw Blur can be had between $40 and 50. I find it equal to or superior to any comparably priced offerings by other major brands like Cold Steel or Spyderco. You can certainly spend more money on a knife. That money will get you a bit more fit/ finish then at some point maybe a bit of quality and warranty support. However at their price point you can have a blur in both family vehicles and several kits/ caches. I seriously doubt an Emerson or high end Benchmade will outlast 6-8 Kershaw Blur's.

Brass is back!
But it's not your mom's brass from the 90s. Think gorgeous, satiny luster. Think industrial, but warmer than the cool metal tones we've been seeing. It's the "poor man's gold." Which for this girl on a budget, is music to the ears! I for one am beyond excited and can't wait to start using it in my house. It seems to pair best with cool or neon colors. Think contrast.
What do you think of this new trend? Is it time for brass to have it's moment again, or too soon?

Posted by: Devesh Agarwal February 12, 2013 in Uncategorized Japan Airlines (JAL) wants to start a Bangalore Tokyo service, but does not have any plans to do so in the near future, Masaru Onishi, Chairman of the airline, told Bangalore Aviation on the sidelines of the Oneworld event to mark the entry of Malaysia Airlines in to the alliance. Onishi went on to say, with the growing investment of Japanese companies in India, particularly in the Delhi and Bangalore geographies, India is definitely on the radar screen of the airline, but the lack of high enough demand for India Japan O and D (origin and destination) traffic is making it difficult for airline to firm-up its plans for expanding services to India. The airline operates a daily flight between New Delhi and Tokyo. The other major Japanese carrier, All Nippon Airways, also operates a daily services between Tokyo and New Delhi and Mumbai. Onishi went on to detail JAL's strategy. The airline is facing shrinking domestic markets. Short haul international flights to Korea and China are stable but are moving to the Low Cost Carrier segment like AirAsia Japan, and to Chinese airlines. Medium and long haul routes are where JAL wants to focus and India factors in to these plans. We we asked about JAL tapping in to the large India to US West Coast market, Onishi explained that JAL already had very high passenger load factors on its trans-Pacific flights, that too from high yield markets like Japan, which makes the airline uncompetitive in low yield markets like India. Despite this the Chairman is positive on the growth of Japan Airlines' services to India. Like this article? Share it.Like this:Like Loading...

Catherine (Cathy) Freeman was born in Mackay in Queensland. She won her first gold medal at a school athletics championship when she was eight years old. Cathy Freeman's stepfather, Bruce Barber, coached her until 1989. Cathy Freeman's family was poor and, like many Australian Aboriginals, suffered discrimination from white Australians. Once, after winning many races at a primary school competition, Cathy, who wasn't given a trophy, had to watch as the white girls she had beaten received trophies. Her family worked hard to raise the money Cathy needed to take her to competitions in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. The family moved to Brisbane in 1989 to be near Cathy, who had won a scholarship to Kooralbyn International School where she was being professionally coached by Mike Danila. In 1990 Cathy moved to Melbourne.
At the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, Cathy won a gold medal as a member of the 4 x 100 metres relay team. With this medal win, she became the first female Australian Aboriginal to win a gold medal at an international athletics event.
Cathy Freeman won the 200 metres and the 400 metres at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada. After her first win, Cathy ran a lap of honour carrying the Aboriginal flag and the Australian flag. The chief of the Australian team criticised her, and said she must not do it again. After her second win, Cathy defiantly carried both flags around the track. The Australian public loved it, with three out of four agreeing with her action.
In 1997, at the World Athletic Championships in Athens, Greece, Cathy won the 400 metres sprint.
At the World Athletic Championships in 1999 in Seville, Spain, Cathy successfully defended her 400 metres sprint title.
Olympic Highlights
Barcelona 1992 In 1992 Cathy Freeman was chosen to compete at the Barcelona Olympics. Although she did not make it to the finals of her event, the 400 metres, she had become the first Australian Aboriginal to represent Australia at an Olympics.
Atlanta Olympics
Cathy's main rival at the Atlanta Olympics was Marie-Jose Perec of France. In an exciting race in which Freeman led for much of the distance, Perec closed the gap and passed Cathy in the last 80 metres. Cathy Freeman's time of 48.63 seconds was a personal best and she won a silver medal.
Sydney Olympics
Cathy had the honour of lighting the Olympic flame at these games and won the 400 metres.
In 2003 she was in training for the World Championships and hoped to represent Australia at the Athens Olympics in 2004.
However, on 15 July 2003 Cathy Freeman announced her retirement from competitive running.
On 15 March 2006, she was one of the final runners in the Queen's Baton Relay, bringing the baton into the MCG at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
A new Cathy Freeman website will open soon. Go here for information: http://domain2013117.sites.fasthosts.com/

Association must sign off on Colony renovation
Date: January 30, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
Colony Beach & Tennis Resort unit owners who want to open a couple of beachfront buildings faced a major hurdle last week.
Town Manager Dave Bullock sent a memo to Colony Beach & Tennis Resort Association President Jay Yablon dated Thursday, Jan. 24, explaining some unit owners who want to renovate and re-open units have approached the town.
"The town believes that any request to perform work on the property or take responsibility for any portion or obligation of the property will need the written consent of the Association," Bullock wrote. "This written consent will need to be presented to the town prior to the grant of any permit applications or utility account modifications."
Those owners, according to Planning, Zoning and Building Director Robin Meyer, have even hired an appraiser to establish the value of the buildings they might seek to re-open.
But, now that Yablon and the Association must sign off on any proposed renovation, it's likely the buildings won't be re-opened individually.
Yablon told the Longboat Observer two weeks ago that opening up the units "is not a sanctioned activity by the Association."
Yablon said a Colony owners' meeting will be held at the end of February to discuss other potential redevelopment proposals.
Several issues exist with renovating the resort's existing buildings.
Meyer said most of the buildings around the property use wooden pilings as part of their foundation and suggested it might be a stretch to convince Florida Emergency Management Association officials those repairs can be performed.
FEMA mandates that property owners are limited to spending no more than 50% of the value of an existing structure that doesn't currently adhere to current flood regulations.
"What's defined as the foundation for other buildings on the property will have to be investigated when the time comes," Meyer said.
In the meantime, Bullock has named Assistant Town Manager Anne Ross as the Association's new contact person for all Colony matters.
"Over the past year, town staff has fielded many questions from different owners associated with the Colony," Bullock wrote. "This has taken a fair amount of staff time and is not always efficient. Therefore, the town is naming (Ross) as the representative to coordinate staff efforts and efficiencies."

Causes of loss of interest in String program
View Single Post
mitchell porter
Apr23-11, 10:53 PM
Quote by
String experts have decided after several decades experience that one should NOT think in terms of strings and branes in a geometry with compactified extra dimensions.
But what you get from AdS/CFT are low-dimensional field theories in flat space being
to an AdS space times a compact space, containing strings and branes. The radial AdS dimension encodes the RG flow, and the compact space (and the objects with extension in it) is "made from" the space of ground states of the field theory. From this perspective, string theory is the universal theory of emergent RG geometry in quantum field theory. At the moment, it only works properly for an emergent AdS space, but if the dS/CFT correspondence can be understood, then this will be true for spaces of positive curvature as well. (In dS/CFT the boundary is purely spacelike and lies in the infinite past and future, rather than being timelike as in AdS/CFT, so it's as if the timelike direction in the Lorentzian gravitational space is emerging from Euclidean field theory on a sphere in the infinite past.)
So not only are people still doing flat-space string phenomenology, complete with branes and extra dimensions, but branes and extra dimensions have proved to be implicit in standard quantum field theory, where they emerge from the existence of a continuous degeneracy of ground states. That multidimensional moduli space of ground states is where the extra dimensions come from, in this case! Branes are domain walls separating regions in different ground states, strings are lines of flux connecting these domain walls. Furthermore, in gauge theories with a small number of colors, it looks like the extra dimensions will be a noncommutative geometry, it's only in the "large N" limit of many colors that you get ordinary space. (Consider that the noncommutative standard model of Connes et al is a theory of gravity on an "almost commutative" space - product of a Riemannian space and a finite noncommutative geometry - with the gauge bosons coming from gravity on the noncommutative part of the product geometry. This seems to be consistent with the picture coming from string theory.)
