Scapegoat of history? Former Olympic rower Nadja Drygalla
THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE German women's eight contestant at the London Olympics had every opportunity of turning into a bittersweet tale of guilt, love, and redemption. As I reported in my piece last week, rower Nadja Drygalla abruptly left the Olympic village on August 3 after word spread that her boyfriend of five years, Michael Fischer, was a notorious neo-Nazi and a political candidate for the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD). Upon her return home to Rostock, however, she stated to the press that she had always rejected the movement and that she herself had helped persuade her wayward boyfriend to abandon the racist cause last May. (I wrote all about it HERE.)
It's too bad that's not the end of the story. Instead, it's only the beginning of what looks to be an enduring scandal that threatens to consume the young athlete no matter what she says or does. Here's how the story is unfolding.
An endless blame game
1) We can see the start of an endless political blame game. Who knew about her relationship when, and why didn't they pass the word on to the Olympic Committee?
The background of this is that the Olympic Games are regulated by the Olympic Charter, which states among other principles that:
Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement.
This means that, in theory at least, no person belonging to a racist organization or openly espousing racist doctrine should be allowed to participate. (So far this year, two athletes have been disqualified for sending racist tweets from the Games.) The same rules apply to Germany's own sports organizations. At the very least, it means that Ms. Drygalla's at least indirect involvement with the local "National Socialist Party of Rostock" (check out their website HERE) and the state NPD organization should have been discussed in advance of her appointment to the team, and not after she competed (which she did on July 31, coming in fifth place with her team). And this connection was no secret. In fact, the interior ministry of the state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania forced her out of her career with the Rostock police force after it learned of the connection in September of 2011 and considered it to be sufficient grounds for dismissal from state service. Why this information was not passed on to the Federal interior ministry (which is partly responsible for Germany's Olympic participation) is a mystery that will undoubtedly be investigated.
The National Socialists of Rostock
Still, the Olympic issue is largely theoretical. The real issue here is the infiltration of sports clubs by right-wing organizations, which is apparently widespread in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and several other states, particularly – but by no means exclusively – in the former East Germany. The sports clubs allow neo-Nazis to gather and thrive in a protected and ostensibly respectable environment, from which they can terrorize and attack their enemies. (Fischer himself had once been a champion-level rower and a member of a local sports club.)
The state and Federal governments have consistently failed to investigate this infiltration, as demonstrated by the ongoing scandal surrounding the National Socialist Underground terror group, which managed to murder foreigners at will for a decade without the police or investigatory agencies having a clue they even existed. Hence the (over)reaction in the Drygalla/Fischer case.
2) Michael Fischer is in deep trouble. Last February he was sighted along with members of his "comradeship" (i.e. his armed neo-Nazi terror squad), a.k.a. the "National Socialist Party of Rostock," attacking a memorial event organized by local anti-fascist groups to commemorate the murder of Mehmet Turgut, one of the victims of the National Socialist Underground who had been shot outside a kebab shop right there in Rostock in 2004. Fischer's "comradeship" went after the lefties with "wooden pickets, clubs and iron bars," says state prosecutor Maureen Wiechmann.
Der Spiegel compared the NSU with the terrorist Red Army Faction, a.k.a. Baader-Meinhof Gang, of the 1970s. The NSU murdered Turkish national Mehmet Turgut in Rostock in 2004.
The police kept them at bay, but one officer was injured in the leg by a thrown crowbar. Fischer is now being investigated for "heavy breach of public peace." If convicted, he could face between six months and ten years in prison. Since the state prosecutor's office is now finally investigating all neo-Nazi activities in the Rostock area, it is likely that this is only the beginning of Fischer's troubles, regardless of how his prosecution goes.
3) Fischer has since confirmed to the German press that he left the movement for good in May. In a telephone interview with the DPA agency earlier this week, he said that he had "taken the step to end the thing, being a neo-Nazi. I resigned from the party and had no particular contact any more with the people who were involved with it. … I wouldn't say I regret {having been a Nazi}. But I wasn't doing Nadja a favor, and thus it would have been better if I hadn't {joined} in the first place."
Something is rotten in the state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania
However, observers of the scene doubt his sincerity, since he continued to associate with his party comrades, posted on neo-Nazi websites, and went on making rude and vaguely racist remarks on the Internet. For example, when he travelled with Nadja to cheer her on in London, he posted this comment on his Facebook page: "I am enjoying the international understanding. Am sitting next to blacks and Pakis on the train and am helping Swiss people in the hotel." He also described himself as a "neo-Nazi monster" at large in London and wrote that his camera was his "most dangerous weapon."
Perhaps these are all just awkward jokes as Fischer gradually distances himself from the movement that has been his ideological home for the past several years. But the apparent ease with which Fischer has left the neo-Nazi movement is also an indicator for some skeptics that something is rotten in the state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Old comrades tend to take such things pretty hard. It's not unusual to murder traitors, or at least beat them senseless. Did Fischer just leave the movement temporarily so as to allow his girlfriend to compete in the Olympics in peace? If so, the gambit didn't pay off – for either of them.
As for Ms. Drygalla herself, her fate is still up in the air. The state parliament will meet to discuss the case. But the damage has been done. As of this writing, her dream of joining the German army and taking part in a Bundeswehr sport team is on ice – the army, which already has a chronic neo-Nazi problem of its own, won't touch her. Since she had been hoping to make a career for herself there with an eye to her post-competitive life, this is a devastating blow.
"She must repent!" Nikolaus Schneider, chair of the Protestant Council
Where is the limit?
She is now a cause célèbre for campaigners on all sides. Some politicians are demanding "democracy oaths" by athletes, plus much closer scrutiny of their personal affairs. But defense minister Thomas de Maizière is having nothing of it. He asked the press on August 6:
Are we, the public, really entitled to screen the friends of athletes, to look at what's going on there? Do we have to demand that athletes reveal to us who they are friends with {and} what {these people} think? Where is the limit? I ask these questions in order to make it clear once and for all that there are limits for such examination, also when it comes to the role of athletes.
Interior minister Hans-Peter Friedrich has plainly rejected the introduction of loyalty oaths, stating through a ministry spokesman that "we'll have no snooping around in our athletes' political convictions." But other public figures have no such reservations. Last Sunday, Praeses Nikolaus Schneider, Chairman of the Council of the Evangelical Church of Germany, and thus the country's chief Protestant clergyman, publicly accused Ms. Drygalla of neo-Nazi activities and actually quoted the Prophet Ezekiel – just imagine: the Prophet Ezekiel! – against her:
Therefore, son of man, say to your people, "If someone who is righteous disobeys, that person's former righteousness will count for nothing. And if someone who is wicked repents, that person's former wickedness will not bring condemnation."
In case anyone was in doubt as to his drift, the clergyman spelled it out: "There can be a changing of ways, and one must also grant this to Ms. Drygalla." So far I am unaware if she herself is a Lutheran. If she isn't – and few people in her section of the country are any more – let me suggest that she's lucky.
Worse than blows and pistols
The discussion is raging on talk shows, radio interviews, letters to the editor, and blogs. While some people, like Praeses Schneider, are convinced that Ms. Drygalla is indeed involved in some way, others are speaking of a "witch hunt" against her. Ironically, many on the far rights are drawing comparisons between her treatment and Sippenhaft ("kin liability"), i.e. the Gestapo practice of imprisoning and torturing a suspect's family and friends.
On a radio discussion, Social Democratic politician Sebastian Edathy recalled Heinrich Böll's 1974 novel The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum, which is about a young woman whose reputation gets dragged through the mud because of a brief relationship she has with a terrorist on the run. In a 1974 interview, Böll, who had personal experience with this sort of situation, said that "the violence of words can sometimes be worse than that of blows and pistols."
It's very hard not to feel sorry for Ms. Drygalla, who almost certainly had no direct involvement in her boyfriend's activities. I believe, though, that she is not so much a victim of immediate circumstance, but rather a victim – and sacrificial lamb – of modern history itself. While she was only born in the summer of 1989, in the waning months of the old German Democratic Republic, she has been forced to carry a lot of historical deadweight on her shoulders.
The fact is that the German sports associations were one of the key entry points for the original Nazi party into German society and, gradually, into politics back in the 1920s and 1930s, quite likely before even her grandparents' birth. No wonder so many people want to prevent a repeat of this insidious process at all costs, including the cost of Ms. Drygalla's reputation and future. But the methods some here wish to use are all too reminiscent of the Stasi terror regime into which she was born but has no memory of. Spying on friends and neighbors, humiliating questioning, fear of arrests and reprisals – I'll bet her parents can tell her a lot about what that was like.
Now, in 2012, the people of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, who never had much of a choice about either dictatorship, are having to face both experiences head on as the cost of moving forward. Society needs a scapegoat, and it has found one.
In his book Requiem for a Nun, William Faulkner wrote, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." But don't take his word for it. Just ask Nadja Drygalla.

In praise of trolls: Announcing Lost in Berlin's first "dustup"
After three and a half years of writing on Open Salon, I've finally got my very own, personal dustup on this site. An anonymous OS member calling herself "*altim*r* *re*" (name bleeped in the interests of discretion) took exception to my last article on the Drygalla affair, distorting the content and aiming insulting and utterly gratuitous ad hominem and even ad familiam language against me. I always welcome comments, even the nasty kind, since I can learn from them and they advance the discussion. This comment was utterly unconstructive, however, so while I could have ignored her, I nevertheless took personal offense at the way she included my own family in her smear and called her out on it. There ensued the inevitable series of ad hominem counter-insults, and the battle was joined. You can see it all HERE.
While I doubt anyone here will care about this ugly spat, it does raise an important issue for me: The risk those of us here who write under our own names take every time we post or comment. While "*altim*r* *re*" is evidently a harmless troll, gleefully hurling monkey poo from behind her cloak of anonymity, what happens if a dangerous person takes exception to what we write? I've always considered the stuff I present here to be pretty harmless, but I'll wager a member of the "National Socialist Underground," or any of the other unsavory groups I've been going after in this space since 2009, might see things differently and decide it's time to put me – and/or persons close to me – out of business. The same goes for the rest of us here who decline the cheap protection of anonymity and tell it like we see it.
So let me send a round of thanks to "*altim*r* *re*" for highlighting this vital issue. She can throw poo at my blog any time she likes.
You - and other self appointed moralists - are simply indicting and convicting her because you don't approve of the poltics of her boyfriend.
The last time I checked, having your date vetted by random busybodies was not an actual olympic criteria.
And if political views WERE part of the vetting process, then we'd no doubt see the wholesale exclusion of nations such as North Korea, Iran, Karjackistsan, and a dozen other countries.
People who delight in taking down dedicated olympians over a disapproval of the political views of their dates are small minded bullies who exult in their own freedom of expression but hypocritically seek to censor and punish views they disagree with.
this would be funny, except that its tragic and small minded and evidence of close minded intolerance and bigotry - the exact values you claim your are reviling when you attack continue to attack Dygalla - someone who is not a public figure, not a political figure, and whom you have never met.
(full disclosure - baltimore aureole is secular, but has abandoned the faith of her parents, judiasm. i give ground to no one in my distate for nazi-ism, iranian threats to "incinerate" israel, or the attacks by american neo-nazis on minorities. neither do i give ground to bullies who seek to oppress and defame the blameless)
A "disturbing attack" ??? The writer of this piece explicitly refers to her as a "victim" of modern history, and a "scapegoat". There is much more nuance here than you seem to recognize.
i am inclined to think sleeping with a thug for five years would suggest a defective character, but: she hasn't been accused of acts of violence, hasn't been rude to anyone at the olympics, and was therefore sent home to keep from upsetting sensative souls who confuse silence with peace.
or, simply to placate sponsors.
it's an imperfect world, but the way to deal with political thugs is to treat them like other people: talk all you want, but lift your hand in violence and go to jail. letting them talk is the cost-effective way of knowing who to keep an eye on.

High fructose corn syrup: New evidence points to increased diabetes risk
Researchers have found new evidence that soft drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may contribute to the development of diabetes, particularly in children. In a laboratory study of commonly consumed carbonated beverages, the scientists found that drinks containing the syrup had high levels of reactive compounds that have been shown by others to have the potential to trigger cell and tissue damage that could cause the disease, which is at epidemic levels.
HFCS is a sweetener found in many foods and beverages, including non-diet soda pop, baked goods, and condiments. It has become the sweetener of choice for many food manufacturers because it is considered more economical, sweeter and easier to blend into beverages than table sugar. Some researchers have suggested that high-fructose corn syrup may contribute to an increased risk of diabetes as well as obesity, a claim which the food industry disputes. Until now, little laboratory evidence has been available on the topic.
In the current study, Chi-Tang Ho and colleagues conducted chemical tests among 11 different carbonated soft drinks containing HFCS. They found astonishingly high levels of reactive carbonyls in those beverages. These undesirable and highly-reactive compounds associated with unbound fructose and glucose molecules are believed to cause tissue damage, the researchers said. By contrast, reactive carbonyls are not present in table sugar, whose fructose and glucose components are bound and chemically stable, they noted.

Former President Bush (41) reflects on his legacy, including 'Read my lips'
In a Parade Magazine interview former president George H. W. Bush talks about what he learned from Ronald Reagan, his surprisingly close relationship with Bill Clinton, and – oh, yes – his infamous tax pledge.
Eric Gay/AP
One of the most powerful unelected men in Washington for years has been Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
He's most famous for pressuring members of Congress and other elective offices – more than 1,100 to date – to sign a "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" in which they "solemnly bind themselves to oppose any and all tax increases."
In 2010, 88 percent of Republican "Young Gun" congressional candidates signed the pledge, according to a Huffington Post tally, although that seems to be dropping off in 2012 as more incumbents and first-time candidates assert their independence.
QUIZ: Know your US presidents? See if D.C. Decoder can stump you!
One politician who signed the pledge way back in 1987 and still gets pretty steamed over it is former president George H. W. Bush.
Running for the presidency a year later he made perhaps his most famous pronouncement: "Read my lips: No new taxes" – a pledge he broke in compromising with congressional Democrats. Four years later, "Read my lips" came back to haunt him when he lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton.

Secretly, I doubt anyone wants to keep track of their finances. All too often it's a stark reminder that one's bank balance just isn't as high as one would like. Having said that, tracking transactions is very useful in making one realize that spending a ridiculous sum of money on old movies and cake isn't always wise. Or at least that's what I hear, because there's no way that I do that. No way at all.
Spendbook is a simple yet effective solution to tracking such things. With a look that suits iOS 7 perfectly, Spendbook keeps things simple and clean yet still offers plenty of opportunity to include all the relevant information about day-to-day living.
It takes mere seconds to enter any transaction, with both income and expenses a matter of just tapping on the plus sign to the side of the screen. A series of categories are then made available and they're actually quite practical. Everything from food and housing expenses, to coffee and book purchases are easily accessed here. In the unlikely case that one wants to add a different category, it's easy enough to change things around, too.
Once various transactions have been added, it's easy to see at a glance what's going on financially. On the app's splash screen, the available balance is provided with a swipe downwards highlighting individual transactions. Those transactions offer some power of their own too, being easily repeated at regular junctures (ideal for the same monthly bill or daily coffee treat), as well as having the option of including photos of a purchase.
Further analysis thanks to the plethora of charts and bar graphs on offer are handy, too. At a glance, one can see exactly where the bulk of their money is going. Whether that happens to be on essential living expenses or more frivolous purchases gradually adding up. Again, it's all easily viewed through a series of swipes, plus it's quickly divided up into a weekly overview as well as monthly, which is pretty handy.
Throw in multiple account support and the option of exporting content as a CSV file, and Spendbook is very handy. Working out one's finances is never going to be fun but with this app, it can be quick and convenient.

Consumers in North America throw away more than 350 million empty toner and ink cartridges each year, a stat that the creators behind a new kiosk concept are hoping to decrease.
Insta Ink, which sells more than 800 types of new and recycled ink and toner cartridges, has partnered with AVT to manufacture kiosks to dispense products inside retail locations.
Currently, the company has eight kiosks inside grocery stores throughout Utah, each selling cartridges for more than 18 different brands of printers. Some of the most popular brand names including HP, Lexmark, Canon, Brother, Epson, Dell, Sharp, Samsung, Oki and Xerox.
The Utah grocery stores are each hosting the kiosks under a revenue-sharing program with Insta Ink, but company founder Todd Lund said he's also looking into renting and purchasing operations.
How it works
The customer enters either the brand, cartridge number or printer model on the kiosk's interactive screen, and the system automatically finds the cartridge.
"Customers no longer have to search the aisles of office supply stores or wait for an employee to offer help," said Bryan Ross of AVT, a developer of self-service retailing systems, custom and automated retail stores.
Delivery comes in one of two ways: The kiosk stocks 74 of the most popular Inkjet cartridges, so when a user swipes his debit or credit card to purchase one, the machine vends the cartridge.
Customers buying larger LaserJet and toner cartridges or inkjets that are not stocked in the kiosk, however, place their orders at the machine and receive them at their homes or offices within two or three business days.
Using the kiosk to buy recycled products can save consumers up to 50 percent, Lund said, and despite the fact that they are remanufactured, all the kiosk's printer cartridges meet or exceed OEM standards for page yield and ink volumes.
"In other words, all cartridges hold as much ink or toner as the originals, and in some cases they hold even more," Lund said.
The benefits
Both consumers and retailers will benefit from the kiosks, Lund said.
"Retailers such as grocery stores like having the machines because it provides a great service for their customers," he said. "The customer can purchase their ink cartridge quickly and conveniently. To the end user it saves time and they don't have to make a special trip to the ink store."
Retailers like it because it's another way to drive traffic, which may lead to increased sales.
One of the key benefits, Lund said, is how the kiosks promote going green. Not only can consumers buy recycled products from the kiosks, they can also use them to recycle their empty Inkjet cartridges.
Inkjet and toner cartridges can take up to 1,000 years to decompose, so Lund is happy that his kiosks can help reduce some of the waste.
"We currently do not have space to take empty laser/toner cartridges but you may still purchase a remanufactured laser cartridge at the kiosk which helps every one go green, save and keep costs down," Lund said.

You buy something but the seller want to control the way you use it. I would only use pppoe if there is no other option and I wouldn't be happy about it. </rant> -- Bruce

We've learned a lot about our Titleist Brand Ambassadors this year here on the Team Titleist Tour Blog.We know why Luke Donald chooses to play a Pro V1x golf ball. Why Nick Watney has Titleist AP2 irons in his bag. And why Scott Stallings' setup includes four Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges.Still, many questions still remain unanswered.
Is Adam Scott a PC or Mac guy? Does Gary Woodland prefer college football or the NFL? Are you more likely to see Zach Johnson at a movie or a concert on a Friday night?
Good news: We recently caught up with several of our Titleist players to quiz them on a variety of multiple choice questions, the answers to which we'll be posting here over the next month.So with U.S Thanksgiving Day approaching, let's begin with some food for thought – After a round of golf, which sounds better to you: Steak dinner or burger and fries?
You'll find answers from Zach Johnson, Gary Woodland, Adam Scott, Scott Stallings, Kyle Stanley, Webb Simpson, Rickie Fowler and Bo Van Pelt in the above video.

Let me start by saying that I respect Ron Jaworski's opinion more than any other talking head but recently he's harped on a subject that I think he's being too "simple" with, the Patriots multiple TE sets. Before today's game he said he's watched the tapes and sees that Watson and Graham were both in 50% of the time and that it's because of our WR situation. Well Ron, aren't they both pretty good TEs? Of course we are thin at WR at the moment (though we definately saw a ton of improvement today) but it's not like we're sending scrubs in there. He hasn't mentioned anything about how talented they are, it's simply because we have no WRs. To me it would be like if Tony Gonzalez signed with the Colts and Ron says that he and Dallas Clark both being in there is a sign that the Colts have lost confidence in Brandon Stokley.
Jaworski may be wrong on occasion, he is human. However, he at least makes informed statements. He watches the coach's film of each and every game. He knows what he is looking at and looking for. Unlike some people who just watch highlights of a game or read a box socre, this guy knows what he is talking about.
They fail to realize that our TE's are also a huge part of our running game and that our TE's are big fast TE's who create lots of matchup problems with defenses.
Oh absolutely. Like I said, I respect his opinion MUCH more than anyone else. That's why I kept waiting for him to say something about how at least we had two very good TEs. If we were still rolling with Wiggens (the one offensive player to get noticeably better after leaving the Patriots) and Rutledge, then it would be different.
I also respect Jaworsky. He earned it when he picked Tom Brady as the league MVP last year and said Brady was the most mobile quarterback in the NFL in terms of what he can do in the pocket. Hey I'm not a homer.
Ron is generally the most respected commentator by fans I've noticed, but I disagree with him as well. Still, I wanna see him in the MNF booth! Replace Thismann and maybe give Tony more time to get used to his surrondings and I think that crew would be nice.

Who'd Be Nuts Enough to Sell Apple?: Opinion
Fundamental factors: This is one of the most widely followed companies on Wall Street where 47 brokerage firms have assigned 56 analysts to monitor the numbers. They project revenue to be up 23.60% this year and another 15.10% next year. Earnings are estimated to be up 13.60% this year, an additional 17.10% next year and continue to increase at an annual rate of 22.03% for the next five years.
The company has an A++ financial strength rating and is selling at a P/E ratio of 12.64 in a market where the average stock is selling at a 15.20 P/E. The 1.90% dividend is only 20% of forecast earnings. Apple recently won a landmark patent infringement case against market leader Samsung and Apple is selling everything it can produce. Sales in the growing China market are up 20%. The stock had a 100 Price Growth Persistence rating.
Investor interest is high and analysts have released 22 strong buy, 28 buy, four hold and only two underperform or sell recommendations to their clients. On Motley Fool an unbelievable 28,709 readers have given the stock a 92% vote of confidence to beat the market. TheStreet rates this an A stock. Short interest has not wavered and has stayed steady at only one average day's trading volume. Analysts predict that if their numbers are correct investors could see an annual total rate of return in the 15%-22% range over the next five years.
Conclusion: If you own Apple, hold on to it. If you are trying to decide to buy more, realize that this is a stock with double-digit projections for growth in revenue and earnings selling at a discount to the market. Analysts are telling their clients they can make 15% to 22% annual total return.
When to buy? Draw a chart like the one below and as soon as you see the upper 14-day turtle channel increases and/or the price crosses the 20-day moving average hit the buy button. I sold Apple when it first showed weakness and will buy back in when I see the conditions I outlined above materialize.

I've been hearing alot about "sanctuary cities", Detroit, L.A. Houston, New York, Newark, and i'm sure there are many more, who have a don't ask don't tell attitude toward illegals who commit crime. They don't check the legal status of suspects, and if they do know they are illegal don't report these criminals to I.C.E. My question is, has Beaufort and Jasper counties become or perhaps always been sanctuary counties?

I'll admit i'm somewhat surprised at the results of the Iowa and now it appears the New Hampshire primaries in regard to Hillary. What do you folks think? I think she should go on Fox and talk to Bill O'Reilly, or CNN and talk to Glenn Beck, both of these people would challenge her and we would get to see the real Hillary. In my opinion she too scripted, handled, and sheltered from truly hard hitting questions.

Well the president is proposing a 3.1+ TRILLION dollar budget. I hate to say it, but there is no hope left for this country.

Republicans are bad, Democrats are much worse, Ron Paul's the only one who comes close to being sane, and he's as crazy they come on some issues.

Simply Google....neighborhood reinvestment act Carter Clinton Raines Obama .....lets see how many people can believe the truth!

I love the whole topic of branding (did you know we have a sister site named Small Business Branding?). Having worked in the advertising industry where we serviced clients who demand consistency of their brand representation down to the littlest minutiae like color codes, it's ingrained in my brain to take branding seriously.
For us small, micro businesses it's not always that easy. Besides, most of us aren't designers to begin with. Neither am I.
That's why I love Canva. It's a free online graphics editor. From time to time, they will create mini graphics and design tutorials that only take 10 minutes for you to work through.
I love that they adopt the learn and do method so you can practice right there using their system. This is truly the best way to learn in my opinion.
No, we're not trying to be the CEO, the janitor and everything in between. However, understanding some basic concepts of consistent branding and design can help you better spot great design work. Take Canva's 5 step tutorial.

Attention Institutional Providers, TR 38600
January 10, 2014
MaineCare requires the date of admission on inpatient claims with the following bill types: 011X, 012X, 018X, 021X, 028X, 041X, 065X, 066X, 086X, and 089X. However, a recent system upgrade requires admission dates for additional bill types that MaineCare does not. These include bill types: 022X, 033X, 051X, 074X, 075X, 081X, 082X. As a result, claims with these additional bill types are denying in error. We will notify you when this issue has been corrected and affected claims will be reprocessed.

JesusJesusIn a walk with Christcan be the hardest place to bewhen all you see is what is in front of thee.I know Jesus died for me.But it is hard to follow all the lawswhen I have so many flaws.Yet still God loves me.Even though I can bea painhe will remain.He loves me so,He will wait until I open my do(or).I want to be a Christian,on a mission.If only I could stop dissin'everyone and everythingtryin' to help me in a walk with my King.If only I could seeIt's not as hard as it seems to be.
A Letter for the BetterLord I feel like crying,my love, for people, is dying.I use to be this shining light;I use to shine so bright!Now all I do is sit and judge,Why do I have this unspoken grudge?I hold such pride!Acting as if, to me they lied.Lately all I do is hate.I hate him.I hate her.I hate me.And yet I debate,What could be the key?Is it him?Is it her?Is it me?If I do change,If I do call on your name.Will it be better than this present life?Will I then have no strife?I'm almost too nervous to ask,While I stand here gripping my mask?For I know how to find the truth from the lie.I simply have no desire to try;I'm not sure how much I'm willing to change.So instead I sit here, awkward and strange.Until the day I act on what I already knew,which is, I simply need to call on you.

If God loves me why would He send me to hell?A question I've seen and heard many times. Often used to justify a sin.People mistakenly seem to think that because Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to clean our sins, we are forever saved regardless of what we do. His sacrifice wasn't meant to take away our sins so we could keep living a sinful life, walk away from His righteous ways and still somehow get to heaven. He sacrificed Himself for us to ensure that even if we sin, we can have the hope of being redeemed, of being forgiven and saved, if we accept our mistakes and ask forgiveness."He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." ~1 Peter 2:24Nowadays, people want to be saved, but they don't want to repent. Repentance is: "To change one's mind. A change of heart, that involves turning away from sin" (Ezekiel 14:6)"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us fro
Morality is Not an Opinion(9/05/2012)_______________________________________________________________________We may find ourselves in situations in which we have to speak truthfully even though the truth may seem hurtful to someone. I've been increasingly finding myself in that situation the more I walk with God. It's not always so easy to do this, especially when you're the type who is sensitive about other people's feelings and prefers not to hurt anyone.But you know something? Sometimes the truth doesn't always sound so pleasant. Sometimes it hurts to hear it. This is also a truth in itself that needs to be accepted.But we can also learn that it is a whole lot better to speak a seemingly hurtful truth than it is to give in with a "nice" and buttered-up lie.Let me find an analogy:Broccoli is healthy. Not everybody likes broccoli. In fact, a number of people don't like certain vegetables for that matter (I'm one of them; I can be a picky eater sometimes). But it is proven to be good for your body and will

I am not 'normal'I would hardly consider it 'normal' to be a follower of Christ.People don't chase after God's heart as much anymore. Here we are in a vast desert of life, with a never ending well in front of us, and most are content to drink sand instead. It is a free gift offered to everyone, and the only thing you have to do is give your heart to Him, to love the One who loved you first. It's a steady process, no one is perfect overnight, but if you go after Him, He will not turn you down. It doesn't matter your race, gender, culture, sexuality, age, He offers it to every man and woman and child.However, if you do start to walk with Him, do not expect to go unchanged. A transformed heart is a true sign of God's work in your life. It's not an easy walk, but it is real and God's love is so amazingly beautiful. He never leaves, never stops loving, forgives freely, and always listens. Your feelings or emotions, and your situations do not govern whether or not He is there. When you cry, He does not sco

Avaxia set to begin clinical trials for IBD
- Don Seiffert
- BioFlash Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Seven-year-old Lexington company Avaxia Biologics Inc. will soon complete its transition to a clinical-stage biotech when its oral drug candidate for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease begins Phase 1b trials next month.
CEO Barbara Fox told Mass High Tech that the company's 14 employees have been focused on the development of its lead candidate, AVX-470, since she founded the company. In a statement Tuesday, the company announced the Investigational New Drug (IND) application has been granted clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
She said the first set of trials of the drug candidate will last about 10 months. The candidate is an anti-tumor necrosis factor drug, which have been in use for more than 10 years, but in a form that must be injected. Existing drugs have numerous side effects, in part because the drug is spread throughout the body through the bloodstream, she said. AVX-470 is designed to be taken orally, she said.
"That's important, not only because it's more convenient, but it's also safer because it stays in the gut," she said. Avaxia's candidate would have a lower potential for immune system suppression than the injectable anti-TNF therapies, but would have all the benefits of them, she said.
The angel-backed company finished its Series A round in February, which ended up to total $4.1 million, and came from Cherrystone Angels of Providence, R.I. and other angels, Fox said.
Fox was named one of Mass High Tech's 2012 Women to Watch earlier this year.

Jackson National Community Fund
Through the Jackson National Community Fund (JNCF), Jackson and its employees invest in the primary communities in which we live and work.

Since the JNCF was launched, Jackson has awarded numerous grants to children and elderly focused charities, such as The Alzheimer's Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Boys and Girls Club, Ele's Place, Judi's House, Junior Achievement, The March of Dimes and Meals on Wheels.
Jackson in Action
Jackson employees are involved in the company's charitable efforts every step of the way. The JNCF Advisory Committee, consisting of employees, makes recommendations on all grant requests to the JNCF Executive Committee. Employees are also involved in many charitable projects throughout the year, logging more than 9,000 volunteer hours annually. In addition to their time, employees benefit from a 2-to-1 company match on their monetary donations to select children and elderly charities, up to a maximum of $10,000 per employee per year.
Charitable Grants
Charitable organizations in the Lansing, Denver, Chicago or Nashville areas that are interested in applying for a grant or sponsorship from Jackson are encouraged to complete and submit the online JNCF grant application . The JNCF Executive Committee will approve all funding decisions. Jackson directs the majority of its funding to nonprofit charitable organizations that benefit children or the elderly in those communities in which Jackson operates.

Bake 12 to 13 minutes, or until centers are soft but firm and edges are just beginning to brown. Cool 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling. Repeat with vanilla dough using a full 1/4 cup scoop.
- Filling: Beat marshmallow cream, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Fold chocolate into 1 cup of the filling. Spoon 3 Tbsp of chocolate filling onto center of six white cookies. Top each with remaining white cookies. Repeat with chocolate cookies, using vanilla filling. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

In Enron trial, a novel - even brash - defense
Defense lawyers for Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling said two months ago they would prove not only that the top executives did not know about any wrongdoing at Enron, but that there was no wrongdoing, save for the actions of a few bad apples.
Monday in a federal courthouse here they'll begin to try to build their case for that bold assertion - one never before used as a defense in a corporate corruption trial.
The "there was no evil" defense is a high-risk strategy, but it may be born of necessity, court watchers say. In other recent trials involving allegations of corner-office malfeasance, the usual argument - that corruption existed but that corporate leaders were ignorant of it - often didn't fly.
"Jurors are quite skeptical of CEOs who ask them to accept that they were competent, hands-on managers, but completely unaware of massive fraud right under their noses," says Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor. "I can assure you that [Messrs Skilling and Lay] have paid attention to other CEOs who have tried to raise [that] defense and failed."
Case in point: The verdicts last year against former WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers and former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski.
The Enron defense's novel approach - which caused many in Houston to gasp in disbelief upon hearing it - posits that Enron was basically sound and that it went bankrupt because the market panicked and creditors pulled out when investor confidence eroded and Enron's stock price plummeted.
That argument, though, may be hard to reconcile with testimony of the past eight weeks, as one government witness after another has said that Lay, Enron's founder, and Skilling, its CEO, knew of wrongdoing and even participated in it.
"So far, the biggest surprise is how effective a job the government is doing," says Gerald Treece, assistant dean at the South Texas College of Law in Houston. "The case is stronger than I thought it would be. The witnesses have been more effective than I thought they would be. And the young prosecutors have more than held their own against the more experienced defense attorneys."

The National Football League is expected to raise the number of players on the practice squad from 8 to 10 before the end of the month. That's good news for 64 players and all 32 teams – especially teams like the Packers that are loaded with young talent.
Here's a way too early projection as to which 10 players might comprise this year's PS:
OT AARON ADAMS: There's an outside chance he could make the 53, but for that to happen he'll need to play a lot better than he did last week. A second season on the PS seems much more likely.
WR KEVIN DORSEY: He's probably been too inconsistent to make the 53, but last year's seventh-round pick has done enough good things to keep around. And that's pretty much the exact definition of a PS player.
OLB ADRIAN HUBBARD: Tough call, but the former Alabama star took reps ahead of Carl Bradford all summer. Besides, a GM probably isn't going to cut a fourth-round pick unless he's already given up on the player.
RB RAJION NEAL: He might've pushed DuJuan Harris for a spot on the 53 had he not suffered a knee injury. Instead, he'll likely wind up on the PS – unless he goes on injured reserve or gets claimed on waivers.
OLB NATE PALMER – He could easily make the 53, but because he's still eligible for the PS and because he's probably more likely to get through waivers than Jayrone Elliott, I think the Packers could go in this direction.
TE JUSTIN PERILLO: If Jake Stoneburner doesn't make the 53, he could grab this spot, but the undrafted free agent from Maine is the type of player who just screams PS. Extremely raw, but catches almost everything.
DE LUTHER ROBINSON: In a more fair world, he'd take third-round pick Khyri Thornton's spot on the 53, but that's not going to happen. If the undrafted free agent gets released, it wouldn't shock me to see him claimed on waivers.
WR GERRARD SHEPPARD: I prefer Alex Gillett, but general manager Ted Thompson loves big receivers and coach Mike McCarthy loves anyone who can play special teams.That's two checks for the former Raven.
ILB JOE THOMAS – Like Neal, he might've made the 53 had he not gotten injured. But the PS is the perfect place for him. The former South Carolina State star needs to get bigger if he's going to survive in the NFL.
DB RYAN WHITE – I'm projecting either Demitri Goodson or Jumal Rolle to make the 53, and the other to get claimed on waivers. That'll leave a spot open for a player who showed improvement throughout the summer.
*I wanted to find a spot for Gillet, corner Antonio Dennard, center Garth Gerhart and safety Tanner Miller, but even with the additional two spots, there's just not enough room to keep all the good young talent.

Celebrity Gossip Round Up October 23rd
By Tom Miller
There was no way to make a full post out of any of these celebrity gossip stories. Seriously, we tried and all of them are 4 lines, at best.
Chris Evans is friends with one of the gals from The Hills' predecessor Laguna Beach, Kristin Cavallari. This according to what Kristin Cavallari told Us Weekly. Not to pick any nits, but we don't know anyone that said you were (though rumors say they hooke up in Miami, which doesn't count). On top of that, Chris Evans has starred in actual films; that's a step up from reality television, right? Still ya'll ain't exact Jay-Z and Beyonce as far as our curiosity goes, or Rihanna and Chris Brown, for that matter.
Rapper/ rich guy 50 Cent (or Fiddy, as only his closest friends call him) has settled custody matters with his child's mother according to Starpulse. Curtis Jackson gets a weekend per month, a month in the summer, and 5 on it during winter and spring break. So, while he's not getting paid or getting laid, he'll be giving homework aid and eating healthy vegetables sauteed.
According to Celebitchy, all it took to get Mandy Moore and DJ AM (though our Kristin Booker was already all over that) back together was an awful plane crash. That's always how it goes.
