Selling Citizens and Montevue: Smart Move or Senseless Decision?
Photos by Anastasia Tantaros

It seems premature to sell the Montevue Assisted Living and Citizens Care and Rehabilitation property before Fort Detrick completes the mapping of its carcinogenic plume. Though the initial investigation is almost complete, it is not over. A plume tracking study, which may or may not involve this property, is still underway. While scientists speculate this will probably not be an issue, they also believed the plume would not be detectable in Carroll Creek, but it was. The primary discharge area for the plume is directly behind the Montevue property.
In 2008, Fort Detrick's Area B was placed on a superfund list by the United States Environmental Protection Agency because of an "imminent and substantial threat to public health and safety." The threat references a plume of perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE), volatile organic compounds that are not completely soluble in water. They form Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs), gelled together pieces of toxins that get stuck between the fractures in bedrock.
Over the years, these DNAPLs slough off into groundwater and become part of its flow. This action has created a plume found miles awayfrom Area B. Starting west of Area B, and flowing east, the plume discharges into surface water behind the Montevue facility and Rosemont Avenue.
By the time the plume reaches surface water at this corner, contaminant levels are considered low, yet still high enough to warrant current and further testing. Each minute, 1,100 gallons of water run into the plume's primary discharge area along Carroll Creek, including the seeps and springs bordering the Montevue and Citizens property. Levels of PCE and/or TCE will be detectable there for years.
The sale is moving forward, yet Aug. 28 marks the first time a city or county official that has voting rights on the subdivision or sale of this land has attended a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meeting in the two years I have been present. William Ryan from the Frederick County Planning Commission and Alderman Carol Krimm attended. Most city and county officials are simply not paying enough attention to the matter, and a few 10-minute phone calls between representatives and Fort Detrick do not justify vacant chairs at these four-hour, quarterly meetings.
These meetings, hosted by Fort Detrick, offer an in-depth explanation of the remediation process. We are still mapping the plume and assessing the levels of contamination. Concerning Montevue and Citizens, these levels were high enough to merit vapor-intrusion testing on the old Montevue building before allowing county employee housing in that facility. At the Aug. 28 meeting, we were told they found contaminants at the sub-slab level — very low, non-worrisome levels, which is good news. The problem is that we are moving forward and making decisions on this land before other answers are received. It is irresponsible to sell that property or subdivide that land before all the necessary information classifying this plume is acquired.
This plume is not going to magically disappear. According to May 2013 RAB minutes, the Montevue and Citizens land pieces will require long-term monitoring, and we can see spikes and changes at the discharge area over time. Until all test results are complete and signed off, I wouldn't want my name on a vote to sell. I vote that those in charge of my health and safety learn as much as they can about this toxic situation before giving their stamp of approval to pass this land along.

John L. (Lennie) Thompson, Jr
The Board of County Commissioners' decision to sell the Citizens Care and Rehabilitation Center and Montevue Assisted Living facilities was correct. It is rare when our elected officials take an action that they know ahead of time will be politically unpopular but will be in everyone's long-term best interest. They need our support on this one, regardless of disagreements we may have on other issues.
Maintaining the status quo (and the multimillion dollars of taxpayer subsidies the facilities receive each year) would be the politically safe choice. However, there is a reason the overwhelming majority of Maryland counties no longer operate an "old folks' home" as they were formerly known. It is not for a lack of compassion. With the advent of Medicare and Medicaid, nongovernmental firms are providing the service. Frederick County has eight other licensed nursing homes that do not receive millions of dollars per year in subsidies from the county taxpayers.
Until now, successive boards of county commissioners used taxpayer funds to underwrite the operating losses at Citizens and Montevue. Anyone who dared to question the subsidies risked the usual charge of being insensitive to the elderly and, in the views of one former columnist, a murderer. Human nature suggests that if an economic entity knows that taxpayers will cover its operating losses, the entity lacks any incentive to avoid operating losses. At one time, the staff at Citizens made little effort to pursue reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid. They had no reason to do so.
In 2000, the Citizens Board of Trustees needed to hire a nursing home administrator. At the time, the average salary of licensed nursing home administrators across the state was $150,000. Paying someone that amount was politically impossible, since the administrator would have been the highest paid person in county government by far. Citizens ended up hiring an unemployed nursing home administrator who was willing to take the position for half that amount. Bells and whistles should have gone off, but they didn't. His tenure was a disaster for Citizens.
The county's "one size fits all" compensation policy was not conducive to the health care field. Many in the field know they will not spend their career at the same place and, therefore, will never qualify for a full retirement. They prefer a high salary now rather than a high retirement package later. Nonetheless, the county insisted a compensation package offering comparatively lower salaries and comparatively higher retirement benefits that most Citizens employees knew they would never receive. As a result, Citizens had the highest employee turnover rate in county government.
For better or worse, health care facilities that, like banks and fast-food restaurants, are part of a chain will have a competitive advantage over a single, "stand-alone" facility. In general, members of a chain receive the benefit of economies of scale that comes with centralized accounting, information technology, payroll, legal and management services. As stand-alone facilities, Citizens and Montevue do not have the economies of scale that their competitors have. Montgomery County — the center of the universe of wild, big spending and big government politicians pandering to every conceivable interest group — does not operate an "old folks' home."
If Montgomery County — which otherwise provides cradle to the grave protection for everyone, for everything — chooses not to provide a government service, their example should be sufficient evidence that Frederick County shouldn't provide the service either.

kRANKENHAUS pARTY derives from the heavily influenced musical genre that our capital seems to be gripped most by at present "Tech House", "Techno" & "Electronica". The Germans seem to be leading this scene heavily and as a result Berlin is the home for many of the worlds top DJs and Producers. So it seems fitting that we named our party after the term they seem to have purveyed upon us "hospitalised". kRANKENHAUS well it's the German term for "Nut House", "Mental Institution" or "Hospital". We simply want you all to have the possibility of experiencing what a truly mind blowing experience visually and musically they all seem to be getting as a daily dose over in the German capital. kRANKENHAUS pARTY is a party that will be creating a concept where we wont be pigeon-hole ourselves to any specific time,night or day for our events, the music wil be electronica based fused with musical flavours of London.
This is the first of the kRANKENHAUS pARTY meets......series where we invite djs alongside special guests to come and join us in kRANKING uP our party at 'The DOORS' Club.
This month we have invited East End duo Dub Bugz to join us with there fresh mixture of Deep Bouncy House music sounds alongsides our friends from minimal techno record label Piso Records.Expect a range of house sounds as we cater for the kRANKENHAUSERS who are always up for a night of fun at our home 'The Doors',east londons newest,intimate hotspot.

Explanation: Can a gas cloud grab a galaxy? It's not even close. The "claw" of this odd looking "creature" in the above photo is a gas cloud known as a cometary globule. This globule, however, has ruptured. Cometary globules are typically characterized by dusty heads and elongated tails. These features cause cometary globules to have visual similarities to comets, but in reality they are very much different. Globules are frequently the birthplaces of stars, and many show very young stars in their heads. The reason for the rupture in the head of this object is not completely known. The galaxy to the left of the globule is huge, very far in the distance, and only placed near CG4 by chance superposition.

Bonds Look Morbid When Compared To These Dividend Stocks 0 comments
Even hibernating bears know that bonds have essentially been dead money over the last year, or so. Interest rates are ridiculously low and not likely to improve any time soon given the anemic U.S. economy and European financial concerns. What's done is done, so what should we expect to earn from bonds in the future? Consider these two scenarios:

Our family stayed three nights at the Bessa Hotel. Although we weren't in the river, our location was awesome. We were able to catch a tour bus just around the corner, which was perfect. The staff was fantastic as was the breakfast. We will return!
Our family stayed three nights at the Bessa Hotel. Although we weren't in the river, our location was awesome. We were able to catch a tour bus just around the corner, which was perfect. The staff was fantastic as was the breakfast. We will return!
With a excelent location, near the Boavista, it is a perfect hotel both for a business journey and for a leisure weekend. The staff is nice, the rooms are spacious and confortable, the breakfast is OK. The key word is "Value for Money"!
Modern hotel. Minimal decoration. Rooms have all the confort needed. The beds are superb. The staff is professional. The garage is well designed and is internaly linked to the hotel. The breakfast is sufficient. The price is fair. Think twice before staying in this hotel when there is a soccer match in a neighbouring stadium.
After 3 days in Lisbon in a really quaint, homey place, Bessa seemed extremely cold and sterile, even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. The staff was professional and helpful. The breakfast was spectacular--one day chocolate croissants came out hot! We were three friends traveling together and the extra bed in the room made it slightly crowded, but... More
Wow...nothing to fault. This may not be the most central hotel for touring Porto, but if you got closer you would pay lots more! Lovely, modern ambiance, great service and huge room. Stayed in the Superior, which gives you a HUGE balcony with lounge chairs and seating area. We got lucky with beautiful weather and it was nice spending the... More
Very nice accommodations and efficient happy-hour restaurant! The location is not good for a few-hour tourism, as there is nothing touristic around the hotel but if you have someone to pick you up and a very busy day, you will not realize that you are isolated. I strongly recommend it!!
Hotel Bessa is a good place for a short stay in Porto given it's proximity to the airport - €15 cab ride. If you want to see Porto though then the location isn't the best, right opposite the Boa Vista stadium and near no where of any interest . Check in was smooth with receptionist speaking good English and offering... More
I visited this hotel on a business trip in the cold February-March weather. It was a business trip so I had not booked it myself. The hotel is not that far from the airport and is conveniently located. It is a new hotel, so the architecture and interiors are typical of a business hotel. The neighbourhood is quite but not... More
I chose the hotel because it was easy to reach from the airport. For tourism the location is not OK, since it is in a new, quite area, with no life. But the hotel is new, clean, comfortable, with (paid) parking, good breakfast. Very good value.
We stayed at the Bessa in July and enjoyed the facilities it provides. We have stayed here previously. We have relatives less than a mile away so the location is not a problem. The food is variable and sometimes expensive (11 euros for a lasagne!) Breakfast is ok, but, as stated before can be purchased nearby. The only complaint we... More

Robbinsville school board member resigns post over homosexual slur
A Robbinsville school board member who used a derogatory term for homosexuals during a public meeting has stepped down from his post after gay-rights advocates and school officials condemned the statement.
Joseph Armenti, who was elected to a one-year unexpired term in April, submitted a letter of resignation Wednesday, school officials confirmed yesterday. He could not be reached for comment.
Last week he told the Times of Trenton his comment was taken out of context and he did not mean to offend anyone when he used the word "faggot" during a discussion of whether the district should start a program to report students who use offensive terms.
Armenti has said he would issue an apology and attend a gay-rights forum that Robbinsville High School is hosting on Saturday
Yesterday, school officials said Armenti's resignation "is clearly in the best interest" of the district and the community and issued an apology for his comment.
"Our school district will never condone or tolerate any type of discrimination whatsoever and we will continue to strive on creating an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance for all of our students and faculty," according to a statement from board President Michael Reca and Superintendent John Szabo.
"On behalf of the entire board of education, I want to extend our heartfelt apology to all of our students, faculty, and community for Mr. Armenti's unacceptable statements," Reca said.
Szabo said in a phone interview yesterday that the board "sincerely apologizes for any hurt or pain that may have occurred as a result of the comments made."
The board will hold a special meeting Monday at 8 a.m. at Robbinsville High School to vote on Armenti's resignation.
If the resignation is accepted, the gay-rights group Garden State Equality will not initiate legal action or stage demonstrations, said Steven Goldstein, chairman of the organization. He had said such responses were "on the table" unless the board took some action....

Good God, Waggies, can't you find some new strategy besides opening/buying new stores, grossly over-paying for ridiculous acquisitions and/or tweaking the dividend?It's beyond "getting old"... it has now reached the LAME stage of, at best, management stupidity and, at worst, management solely for management's own betterment.Remember when the SHAREHOLDERS used to make money on Walgreens stock?Tata!
Dividend increase 35 years in a row.I won't be thinking about you when I drive my BMW to the beach next week... another well deserved vacation for your's truly. You, on the other hand... living in the basement.. lamenting DSCM's drop.... losing money and ranting about a rebate. So sad.
The 262 in one sucky a@@ neighborhood. Your idea of a beach is just dirt where the grass don't grow. By the way putting, BMW logo on a pinto does not make it real.
<<tweaking the dividend>>I would say a 22% increase is a bit more than a "tweak" wouldn't you?
They should use WHI/WHS to trash caremark contracts...haha

Retailers are reporting sales gains for April that show a slowdown in spending from the previous month as cooler weather, an early Easter and renewed worries about the economy dampened shoppers' enthusiasm to buy.
As merchants report their sales figures Thursday, Costco Wholesale Corp. and Target Corp. posted gains that were smaller than Wall Street expected.
[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]Teen retailer Wet Seal Inc. posted a bigger-than-expected sales drop.
The figures are based on revenue at stores open at least a year. That metric is considered a key indicator of a retail health because it measures growth at established locations while excluding results from stores recently opened or closed.

Warmists Really Excited Over New Global Warming Poll
Notice that I did not term global warming as "hotcoldwetdry" as usual. There's a reason for that, which I'll get to after the story, reported breathlessly at the Washington Post (a Warmist emailed me about this story yesterday, wondering why I hadn't commented on it. That was due to seeing it soon before heading to work, and an inability to see the study itself at the time)
AP-GfK Poll: Belief in global warming rises with thermometers, even among science doubters
Hooray, we've already jumped to politics, and that's just the headline, in referring to those who do not buy into the notion that the current warm period is causing mostly or solely by Mankind as "science doubters".
A growing majority of Americans think global warming is occurring, that it will become a serious problem and that the U.S. government should do something about it, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds.
Even most people who say they don't trust scientists on the environment say temperatures are rising.
I guess us Climate Realists are losing this, eh?
The poll found 4 out of every 5 Americans said climate change will be a serious problem for the United States if nothing is done about it. That's up from 73 percent when the same question was asked in 2009.
No, 4 out of 5 did not say hotcoldwetdry, ie, "climate change", was a serious problem. The completely unscientific phrase "climate change wasn't mentioned in the poll. What we do get in the poll was exactly what I expected to see
If you ask me that question, my answer is "probably been happening." In fact, warming has been happening. It started in the mid-1800's as the natural pattern of a cool period ended and the Earth moved into a warm period (which will be followed by a cool period, etc), just as has been happening since the end of the last glacial period 20,000 years ago.
What is missing from the poll is any assignment of causation. They question asked is about warming, but not what the cause is. None of the questions ask about cause. And that is what this debate is about, not warmth, not temperature rise, but causation. Most Climate Realists understand that the earth has warmed since the end of the Little Ice Age, but know that most of the rise has been natural, with some global anthropogenic causes, mostly from agriculture and landfills. Throw in land use, such as the Urban Heat Island Effect, and the perceived rise is much lower. Perhaps 10-15% of warming comes from those last two, with the rest being natural.
But, yes, 80% of respondents are freaking out over the warmth, saying we're dooooooooomed! 49% say it's "very serious", 31% say "somewhat serious" Let's give Warmists some props for a 20+ year campaign of getting people to freak over a whopping 1.4 degree Fahrenheit rise since 1850. If that figure was constantly published, people would be much less likely to believe that we're doomed.
Of course, Warmists still won't practice what they preach.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Infants with suspected or proven sepsis treated with intravenous immune globulin have no significant difference in outcomes compared to those receiving a placebo, according to a study published in the Sept. 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Peter Brocklehurst, M.B., Ch.B., from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and colleagues from the International Neonatal Immunotherapy Study Collaborative Group examined the efficacy of adjunctive therapy with immune globulin in 3,493 newborn infants receiving antibiotics for suspected or proven sepsis. A total of 1,759 infants received two infusions of human nonspecific polyvalent immunoglobulin G immune globulin (500 mg per kilogram of body weight) and 1,734 received a matching placebo 48 hours apart. Death or major disability at the age of 2 years was the primary outcome.
The investigators identified no significant difference in the primary outcome rates between the groups (39 percent each for those receiving immune globulin or placebo). The differences in the incidence of subsequent sepsis episodes and other secondary outcomes were also found to be nonsignificant. No significant differences were observed in the rates of major or non-major disability or adverse events in the follow-up of 2-year-old infants.
"Therapy with intravenous immune globulin had no effect on the outcomes of suspected or proven neonatal sepsis," the authors write.

When dealing with nobility and court settings, players can sometimes skip the roleplay aspect and jump straight to behavior such as, "I bow, greet all in the court, and ask the duke for his assistance." While in most scenarios this type of action is sufficient, taking it a step further can enhance gameplay (or maybe even manipulate a plotline).

Celebrations can be found everywhere: from the big city to your local township. Sometimes the smaller locales can have the richest of all celebrations since they are more personal. Dayern's Hamlet is one of those places.
The local temple is known for putting words of wisdom of stele, in and anround the temple. These words of wisdom are normally temple proverbs or wise words, but sometimes they are "singing the praises" of any large contributor or a noble who grants them a special law. If you need proverbs and quotes for them, search a few quote and proverb sites, concentrating on religions like the temples. Put these quotes in a word doc or list, that way you can always "whip out" a bit of wisdom.

Coral Gables is Testing Red Light Cameras
From the Herald:
American Traffic Solutions installed the first camera last week at Le Jeune and Alhambra, which Police Chief Richard Naue said had been identified as a trouble spot. They are testing it this week, Naue said.
"We're not treating it as a traffic law. We are treating it as a code enforcement law, as a right of way issue," Hernandez said, adding that tickets would not increase insurance costs or add points to a motorist's license.

Eventually, Hollerith's patents were bought by a business known as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. You may have heard of it by its later name: IBM.
Hollerith's tabulators, sometimes called "statistical pianos," were one of the first steps toward what we now think of as the information technology revolution. They were adopted by business for payroll and inventory records; punch cards were in use through the 1960s.
22 March 2010 2:16 pm GMTUpdated: 22 March 2010 2:16 pm GMT Photo by: U.S. Census Bureau / Caption by: Declan McCullagh
One clever twist: Hollerith made sure that his paper cards were the same size as the dollar bills that existed at the time, so existing boxes and cabinets could be re-used.

Austin BBQ joint, sushi spots among most important U.S. eateries
- Staff Austin Business Journal
Three popular Austin restaurants — one serves sauced slabs of meat while the others offer fish, seafood and other fare — have been named to Bon Appetit magazine's 20 Most Important Restaurants in America list.
Andrew Knowlton, the magazine's foodist, defines the 20 important restaurants as "fearless spots that drive chefs to innovate, restauranteurs to imitate and the rest of us to line up."
Uchi and Uchiko made No. 10 on the list: "I can hear the sushi snobs already: 'This know-it-all is saying the best sushi in America comes from a white dude. In a 1920s bungalow! In Texas?' But yes, that is what I'm saying. Tyson Cole is the Japanese-speaking, James Beard Award–winning perfectionist behind these Austin institutions," Knowlton wrote.
Franklin Barbecue took No. 17. Knowlton asked owner Aaron Franklin a few questions, including: How'd he get into barbecue?
"My parents used to run a place when I was a kid. Nine years ago I asked them how to cook brisket and they said, 'Just throw it on and pull it off when it's done.' I ended up getting a little weird with it and eventually going super nerdy on barbecue," Franklin told him.
Other cities with restaurants that made the list include New York City, San Francisco, New Orleans and Napa, Calif.

Topic: Deer Resistant
Title: Deer deterrent for Texas Persimmon
Answered by: Stephen Brueggerhoff
The deer have destroyed my Texas Persimmon by standing on their hind legs and pulling down the branches--either ripping them off entirely or twisting them. I didn't realize the persimmon fruit would stay on the branches so long. How long is the typical fruit bearing season for persimmon, and is there any deterrent short of pruning all the low branches or installing an electric fence around the tree?ANSWER:
Deer have become almost epidemic in nature in the Texas Hill Country, as well as other parts of the North American continent. Texas persimmon (Diospyros texana) is a Spring blooming plant, setting fruit during early Summer after successful pollination. The fruit will mature and ripen by the end of Summer/early Fall, & sometimes the dried fruit will persist on the stem or drop with time if not picked and eaten by either birds, or in your case deer. Besides fencing the specimen or fencing your property, there are products on the market that are deterrents, chemicals replicating scents & taste that deer tend to avoid (i.e. egg putrescence or cayenne pepper taste). Most repellents are not appropriate for food crops, and may not be an option with the type of tree that you are describing. If you decide to utilize a chemical deterrent, carefully read the labels for proper use and for the chemical that most fits your needs. There is an excellent book out on the market, written by Rhonda Messingham Hart, entitled "Deer Proofing Your Yard & Garden", with environmentally responsible deer control techniques that really work, including homemade deterrents, landscaping designs that repel deer, and plant lists. I also suggest contacting your local county Extension agent office to receive further advice and articles on appropriate steps to take in deterring deer.

Exposure Draft of Proposed Changes to Government Auditing Standards Comments
June 17, 2002
- Mr. Michael C. Hrapsky
- Senior Project Manager,
- Government Auditing Standards
- U.S. General Accounting Office
- Room 5X16 (FMA)
- 441 G Street, NW
- Washington, DC 20548
Re: Exposure Draft of Proposed Changes to Government Auditing Standards Comments
Dear Mr. Hrapsky:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input to the General Accounting Office's proposed revisions to the Government Auditing Standards. We appreciate the considerable effort that has been invested in this project as well as the consideration you give to input received from the field. This letter provides our comments on the Exposure Draft (ED) referenced above.
The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) represents more than 2,100 colleges and universities. Our members include both public and private campuses, as well as independent primary and secondary schools. Our primary representatives include the chief financial officers of these organizations, although many of their staff also are active participants in NACUBO programs and activities.
NACUBO recognizes the importance of having effective auditing standards to assure the quality of programs operated with public funds. We have been an active participant in various projects related to financial accounting and reporting standards, including playing an active role with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, and various AICPA committees. In each of these activities, we have tried to balance the needs of users against the costs and other impacts of various standards.
Neither NACUBO nor its institutional members maintain a primary focus on auditing. Yet the auditing standards affect the institutions and their operations. Our reaction to the proposed changes is positive but we feel it necessary to suggest changes to one specific aspect of the ED. This has to do with the new requirement in paragraphs 5.6 and 6.27 to include, as part of the audit report, "…information on compliance with laws and regulations and internal control that is required by GAGAS but not required by AICPA standards." According to the ED, failure to do so "…is not in the public interest." We do not agree with the premise that it is not in the public interest to omit these references.
As you may realize, it is not uncommon for colleges and universities to issue audited financial statements for various purposes. When financial statements are issued for purposes related to compliance with federal program requirements it is appropriate to refer to both GAGAS and AICPA standards in the audit report. In other cases, however, we believe it is inappropriate to include the GAGAS references in the audit report. In fact, we believe this additional language creates clutter and has the potential to confuse readers of the audit report. We urge those responsible for finalizing the standards to remove this requirement and maintain the guidance provided in existing standards at paragraph 5.14.
We appreciate this opportunity to comment on this ED and look forward to answering any questions you may have about the above comments. Please direct your questions to Larry Goldstein at 434-973-1731 or email@example.com.

Hi: 18° Lo:3°
BURGLARS broke into a Bromsgrove flat and stole two televisions, an X-Box and two mobile phones while a woman slept on her sofa.
It is believed the intruder gained access to the flat on Alderley Road, Bromsgrove, through an unlocked front door sometime between 9.30pm on Saturday (April 5) and 2am on Sunday (April 6).
Following the incident, the police are reiterating warnings to residents to ensure their homes are secure when they go to bed or stay away from home.
Det Insp John Cashion, from West Mercia Police, said a fifth of burglaries in north Worcestershire happened because of unlocked doors and windows.
"In many cases homes are occupied at the time, but residents are asleep or in another room.
"This is a year-round problem, but now the weather is improving it is worth reminding householders to ensure doors and ground floor or easily accessible windows are secure.
"Many burglars are opportunists and much prefer to simply open a door and walk into a house, rather than risk being seen or heard breaking in."
Witnesses or anyone with any information should call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

That is partially correct. To have that form, the matrix must be in the special unitary group SU(2). This means that in addition to being unitary, the matrix has determinant 1.
If the matrix is unitary then . Compare matrix elements on both sides of that equation, together with the equation ad-bc=1, and you will find that and . (I'm using bars rather than stars to denote complex conjugates.)
The general unitary matrix could have determinant 1, in which case it has the form .

'I wouldn't endanger my health that way': India.Arie hits back at allegations of lightening her skin on cover of her latest single
India.Arie is known for her lyrics praising self-acceptance and beauty.
Lightened up: India.Arie (seen here in October) is being accused of lightening her skin on the cover of her latest single
Her song Video, which launched her to fame in 2001, talks about eschewing societal norms that require women to think they need to look like a supermodel.
'Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be,' she sings. 'And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me/My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes - I'm lovin' what I see.'
So for the 37-year-old singer to be accused of trying to alter her image, it's no wonder the internet was taken aback by lighter-skinned look on the cover of her latest single, Cocoa Butter.
The picture shows India's skin looking noticeably different as she poses in a black and brown mini dress against a similarly golden-hued background.
Fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion against the image, claiming she had purposefully lightened her skin.
'India Arie been bleaching something serious hadn't she?' user @Da1nOnlyCMart posted.
'India arie ur supposed to be the champion for darker women, Im so disappointed in u!' @MeLaMachinko wrote.
'It's not the lights, even if it's make up,' rapper Rhymefest chimed in. 'Why India Arie1? This isn't You!
'India Arie should've played Nina Simone but when the industry robs our dark sisters they turn into this,' he continued, also posting a picture of her album title.
But the singer cleared the air on
Friday, tweeting that she was moved to laughter by the accusations that
she would change up her looks.
'Personally speaking,' India began, 'I'm happy to say I have NOT BLEACHED my skin LOL! ROTF at the thought.'
Noticeable change: Fans took fault with India's lightened skin, which she said was because of camera lighting
She then said that her concern for her health - many lightening products use mercury, a toxic agent that is known to cause psychiatric, neurological and kidney problems - was another reason she would never choose to change her skin colour.
'1. I wouldn't endanger my health that way 2. i'm so in love with myself I have no DESIRE to BLEACH myself,' she wrote.
She acknowledged that her skin appeared to look a few shades lighter in the photograph and offered a two-part explanation: '3. The GLOW you see IS (magnificent) lighting 4. THE LIGHT you see, Well that's all ME!!'
Her image: The 37-year-old singer is known for her self-affirming lyrics
India also addressed the political issue behind skin lightening, which has long been seen as a problem within the Black community.
'Politically speaking racism/colorism in the black community is a MUUUUUUUCH larger... THAT I'd LOVE to ''shed light on''..that conversation IS REAL, ...let's keep talking,' she wrote.
'I love my #brownskin more than EVER! MUUUUUUUCH longer conversation.'
Other Twitter users stepped up to defend the singer after media outlets picked up on the controversy.
'She is not her skin,' @BobTheNigerian wrote.
'Some people make a big deal out of anything just to have news! SMH India girl do your thing we love [you] always,' said fan @ILoveIndiaArie.

The Tower
Excellent Location for Busy Tourists
Great location, great service, and excellent breakfast included. I hightly recommend this place.
Unique Quality: Lots of places to meet if you're travelling with friends, spacious lobby with Capuccino bar, two excellent restaurants -- we only ate breakfast in, as we tend to "eat on the go". We were more interested in getting out to the pubs for evening meals. The location was perfect for active people who like to hit the streets and wander. Close to all kinds of things.
Directions: About a ten-minute walk from the Tower Bridge
Historical views
Tower Thistle (now marketed as a Guoman hotel)
Average, but comfortable, rooms. This hotel's best feature is location and views. Located across the road from the Tower of London, on the bank of the Thames and Tower Bridge. A few minutes walk from Tower Bridge tube, the DLR and also on the bus route to take the bus to Trafalgar Square. Rooms overlook either St Katherines Dock or the river and Tower Bridge - we have tried both and have to state the obvious really, you cant beat the view of Tower Bridge. Can get a bit noisy if there's a lot of river traffic going by, but it adds to the fun! If you ask for a tower view room when booking, they will try and allocate you one. Didnt try the in-house restaurant or coffee shop but they looked popular and the menus seemed to cater for all tastes. Efficient check in, even at busy times. Suitable for both family holidays and romantic breaks.
Unique Quality: Spectacular location and views.
Directions: Tower Bridge/Tower of London
Welcome to the 1970's
The hotel no longer sports the 'Thistle' logo as it has now been put into a new division of the company called 'Guomen'. It still has a way to go before it is seen as an exclusive brand.
I found a good deal for 79 pounds, posted it on the VT deal section and stayed there ready for the VT january meeting (2006)
Unfortunately, if you book a cheap room you end up on an un-refurbished floor. It was probably the height of fashion in 1973, but the chocolate covered room (furnishings rather than food you understand) has had nothing done to it since. This type of room would be an embarrasment to a one-star hotel, yet alone a place that claims 4 stars.
I explained this at great length to the duty manager. To give him his due, he arranged a free upgrade. The new room was much more what one would expect. Only the horribe window fittings remained from the 1970's and they were probably heritage- protected as an design feature.
Therefore, if you do book this hotel, ensure you get one of the modern rooms.
Breakfast too is not up to scratch. The buffet was acceptable, but a 'full english' in a four-star should be individually cooked. Mine was lukewarm at best. I also asked for fresh coffee - and recieved a pot of stewed tea. To make matters worse the room was decorated with some cod medieval rubbish pertaining to the tower of London, and I could see people drinking proper coffee in a starbucks in the Dock are through the picture window.
My wife commented that I had booked 'The tower', but the real 'Tower of London' would probably have been more comfortable. Well, at least you get to wake up in the morning here.
UPDATE 2014 : still some terrible reviews on tripadvisor, although ajor re-vamp is due this year. Even if they do a good job the level of customer service will also need a overhaul.
Unique Quality: Superb views of St Katherine's dock, the Tower of London or Tower Bridge.
Superb location then also - although it is a good 5 minute walk or more to the nearest tube.
Directions: ugy duckling building next to tower bridge
Four stars and a perfect view on the Thames
Comments will follow ....
Unique Quality: Located next to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and very close to the financial district, this modern four-star hotel offers about 800 well-equipped bedrooms, apartments and suites, all with superb views.
Directions: Using the EUROSTAR - starting from BXL and ending in the financial center of London/ Waterloo Station - get the tube direction Tower Hill.
Right by Tower Bridge
There are some stunning views to be had of the River Thames and Tower Bridge from this hotel. It is right next to Tower Bridge (approx 1-2 mins walk!). It is also not much further to the Tower of London.
As you can see this is one ugly hotel from the outside. This is pretty plush, but is certainly not one of Londons finest hotels. Really you are paying for location and view.
It's also pretty big, I believe it has around 800 rooms. There is air conditioning and a gym.
Unique Quality: The view!
Directions: Tower Hill underground
A Room with a View
The Tower Thistle is a four star hotel found by the side of the River Thames overlooking Tower Bridge.
There are 800 rooms which are comfortable with the usual Tea and coffee facilities we English enjoy so much.
For Breakfast there is either a continental or a full English, buffet style choice.
If you are going to the Theatre or would just like to eat early, the hotel offers a carvery at a special price for early diners.
In addition to its location on the Thames, you can walk to the Tower of London within a few minutes.
If you don't want to eat in the hotel but want to cheap meal, there is a JD Witherspoons pub near by.
Unique Quality: Great Location,
Wonderful Views,
Near Tube.
Good Food
Directions: On the Thames by Tower Bridge
Average Hotel
This big hotel is located on the east side of London, next to the popular tourist attraction, the Towers of London. It has fantastic views on the Tower Bridge, the Thames and what I loved most, St Katherine's Docks.
There're quite a lot of shops and restaurants in the area. One of the rare hotel I stayed in where breakast was included...but I'd recommend to go to one of the many bakeries around instead.
The rooms are very, very standard and clean.
I'd suggest this hotel only for a business stay because, as it's mostly a business area, all is pretty much dead after 6pm and everything is closed during week ends.
Directions: 5 mins walk from Tower Hill tube station (circle and district lines)
Tower Bridge Location
The location is suberb - on one side of the hotel is Tower Bridge and on the other the St Katherines Dock Marina.
It`s a four star rated hotel with good facilities and a quiet location just minutes from the busy centre of London.
The rooms have everyhting needed - hairdryer - trouser press - tea & coffee facilities - telephone and computer points.
Unique Quality: If your budget allows book a suite - they have fantastic views of Tower Bridge and full facilities - kitchen , lounge etc
The Carvery restaurant is a good option if you want to eat in the hotel - it`s buffet style with a good selection of choices available and at under £20 per person excellent value.
Fancy Hotel
I've staved here on business, a little pricy but quite a nice hotel. Spacious, even for the typically small room accommodations frequently found in Europe.
Unique Quality: This beautiful hotel faces the Tower Bridge and at night the view is beautiful.
Directions: Next to the Tower Bridge
Thistle Tower
£150 +
Unique Quality: I went here for a wedding. The reception was near the top floor. It has an incredible view of the river and Tower Bridge. The friends who go married, they showed us their suite for the night. It probably was the most beautiful rooms I have ever seen. It has everything.
While I was in the elevator going to the top floor, I had Lulu in the lift with me. At first I didn't recognise her but later I said to my wife, 'Do you know who that was?'. That is my claim to fame.
