Turkish PM, Tayyip Erdogan.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Ever since the day that in 1989 when the Berlin Wall began to crumble, signaling the peaceful end to the Cold War, the North American Treaty Organization (NATO) – which for decades played a key military and geo-political role in helping to defeat Communism – has been an organization in search of a new mission.Most recently NATO sat on the sidelines when Syria deployed poison gas on its own citizens and turned a blind eye to Russia's land grab in Crimea. Perhaps those crises were just too far removed from the everyday lives of its constituent members.But there is another crisis that is evolving on the streets of virtually all NATO countries that requires not guns but moral and geo-political leadership.We respectfully challenge newly-appointed NATO secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, to take on a new challenge on behalf of NATO: Denouncing the newest cycle of the world's oldest hate – anti-Semitism – specifically the genocidal rhetoric, violence and hateful chants unleashed by pro-Hamas protesters across much of NATO's turf. As a former prime minister of Norway who was sometimes a very harsh critic of Israel, Stoltenberg's voice could help to begin to quell the rising tide of anti-Semitism.The NATO chief should begin by calling out the leader of NATO's sole Muslim member: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. An ardent supporter of Hamas, Erdogan took a page from former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's gameplan, bullying Israel, by word and (sometimes) deed to win points with the Arab and Muslim streets. Just a few days ago, he reached the apex of anti-Israel rhetoric, by libeling the Jewish state's counterattack against Hamas as "barbarism that surpasses Hitler."Turkey, a nation with a 500-year record of tolerance for its Jews, now boasts members of parliament who participate in violent demonstrations against the Israeli embassy and a leading pop singer who tweeted, "May God Bless Hitler" and "it will be again Muslims who will bring an end of those Jews, it is near, near."The damage done by Erdogan and his supporters not only places Turkish Jewry in harm's way, it has helped to unleash anti-Jewish invective by Turkish imams in Germany and The Netherlands.Last year, Dutch Muslim social worker Mehmet Sahin found his life turned upside down after he had the audacity to confront anti-Semitic Dutch Muslim youth on national TV. That Friday, the imam in the mosque he and his wife attended, publicly accused Mehmet of "being a Jew," forcing the young couple to flee into a witness protection program. "Rabbi," Mehmet told me recently, "you don't understand. It was never like this in Turkey, but today 'Jew' has become a dirty word in our community."We at the Simon Wiesenthal Center have issued a travel advisory for travel to Turkey. But truth be told, no one in Turkey, least of all Erdogan, has had to pay any price for this pre-genocidal bigotry. To the contrary, when it comes to Erdogan, everyone seems to be walking on eggshells, lest it upset NATO's tenuous' status quo or the fear that any criticism will be met with charges of racism or Islamophobia. But what doe it say about NATO and its constituent members on both sides of the Atlantic, if they allow Erdogan to continue spew his vile hate? It is clear that unless and until someone stands up to this bully, his-Israel bashing and Holocaust denigrating Jew-baiting will continue unabated.Meanwhile, Germany has witnessed one anti-Semitic outrage after another as Islamists were joined by neo-Nazis and radical leftists at pro- Hamas rallies where chants echoed on the street, "Jews to the gas chamber," with frenzied protesters railing outside synagogues against the Jewish worshipers. Such scenes and verbal terrorism have been repeated in Paris and Antwerp. While French leaders have finally spoken out against the vicious hatred, this time most European leaders have said and done virtually nothing to stop the hate, apparently choosing to save their eloquent words for dead Jews, not their live fellow Jew citizens.Once upon a time, NATO stood as the muscle behind the Western Allies' commitment to protect democracy and freedom and stand up to the Soviet bullying. Standing up today for an endangered minority community in its midst would prove that NATO is still relevant in the 21st century.Today, as Jews across Europe see their freedoms and values under attack by an unholy alliance of Islamists, the far Right and the far Left, they are once again confronted with political institutions and leaders unable or unwilling to stop the hate.A NATO secretary general willing to challenge his lethargic club members to actually do battle on behalf of people whose parents and grandparents were murdered by Hitler – could help tamp down the hate and rekindle fading hopes that there may still be a place for Jews at Europe's table.

Happy Birthday DeviantART! Welcome to WonderlandHappy Birthday DeviantART!1 year ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Greetings, stranger.
I find myself delighted to lay my rather large eyes on you. A purrfectly delicious mystery awaits you. Won't you come this way?
I've been a bad kitty-- a very naughty, naughty feline, indeed. You see, today is Alice's Unbirthday, and all the inhabitants of Wonderland had planned to join her and the Mad Hatter for tea and cake. But, the Mad Hatter, being quite a bit off his rocker, is requiring that everyone wear a hat to the party. Anyone without a hat cannot attend.
Whoops! Mysteriously, *smile* all the hats in Wonderland have gone missing. What a shame, what a shame. Whatever shall we do?
I know what we shall do. You and I, stranger, we shall go to the party together. I hear the cake is delicious this year, and there will be plenty for us.
Except, wait! HA! You cannot!!! You have no hat, either! I suppose you'll have to stay here, too, then. Very well. Goodbye.

We are surrounded 24 hours a day by objects that have texture, they may be smooth or bobbly, old or new, bold, bright, shiny or dull. You might see a texture every day and never notice it until you start looking. Do you sit at a desk that's textured, or pass an interesting tree on the way to work or school?
We want you, in the form of a triptych (thats 3 images forming a larger image see example here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych ) to tell us the story of your textured world. Each individual texture should stand on its own, both as a useful resource and as a cohesive part of the whole story. What story you tell through your texture triptych is up to you - but they must be textures that tell a story of your world in some way.
There are 3 categories for this contest, each of which you can submit to twice.

Contest: Fan Art NouveauHello, everyone! It's time for another Fan Art contest. This time, we're asking participants to create Fan Art in Art Nouveau style.Contest: Fan Art Nouveau1 year ago in Deviant Events More Like This
What is Art Nouveau?
"Art Nouveau (French pronunciation: [aʁ nuvo], Anglicised to /ˈɑːrt nuːˈvoʊ/) or Jugendstil is an international philosophy[1] and style of art, architecture and applied art—especially the decorative arts—that was most popular during 1890–1910.[2] English uses the French name Art nouveau ("new art"), but the style has many different names in other countries. A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants, but also in curved lines. Architects tried to harmonize with the natural environment.[3]
Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewellery, furniture, textiles, household sil

Bring your Type to Life
This may sound abstract at first, but to keep the theme as open as possible, I choose a rather abstract title. There are many directions in which you can go. You could choose an anthropomorphic direction, where you breathe life into letters and give them human or other animate characteristics. Another route would be to create the letters out of living objects, such as plants or animals.
Which direction you choose, maybe even a third or fourth one, does not matter. What matters is that your letters are brought to life!
What kind of letters you bring to life, words, glyphs or sentences, is 100% up to you. This contest has a more visual approach, so you will not be judged on the creativity of the meaning you choose to give to the letters. However, don't rush it! Even one letter can appear completely different than another. Be wise with the letters, word

Interview: Steve Guttenberg talks about Syfy's "Lavalantula"
Sharknado 3 may be the big buzzed-about Syfy movie premiere this week, but sharks aren't the only scary creatures hitting that network's airwaves. That other go-to standard for animal horror movies — spiders — also make an appearance with the debut of the original film Lavalantula on July 25. As you can tell from its name, the film — directed by apparent spider-movie expert Mike Mendez, who also helmed Big Ass Spider! — is about tarantulas that spit lava, naturally. "It's based on a true story," deadpans star Steve Guttenberg during our interview. "A volcano erupts in the Santa Monica Mountains, and … Continue reading

Quantile Analysis: A Method for Characterizing Data Distributions
Abstract:Analyzing distributions of data represents a common problem in chemistry. Quantile-quantile (QQ) plots provide a useful way to attack this problem. These graphs are often used in the form of the normal probability plot, to determine whether the residuals from a fitting process are randomly distributed and therefore whether an assumed model fits the data at hand. By comparing the integrals of two probability density functions in a single plot, QQ plotting methods are able to capture the location, scale, and skew of a data set. This procedure provides more information to the analyst than do classical statistical methods that rely on a single test statistic for distribution comparisons.

Connor Halliday Sinks Washington State Cougars With Dreadful Fourth Quarter
The Washington State Cougars came up short in their season opener against the Auburn Tigers and started off the 2013 season on the wrong foot yet again. The good news for the Cougs was that the team was at least competitive in the 31-24 loss with multiple chances to tie the game late. Unfortunately for WSU, their quarterback Connor Halliday sabotaged their chances with terrible fourth quarter play.
On the day, Halliday completed 35 of 65 passes for 344 yards with one touchdown, but fell into old bad habits and threw three interceptions. When he was in control of the offense, Halliday was a confident and competent leader, engineering efficient drives and converting first downs. The young receiving corps looked in sync in those phases and produced some explosive results.
In the fourth quarter, however, Halliday completed just five of 16 passes for 39 yards with an interception. He looked flustered and lost, often missing open receivers and hurling the ball wildly over his intended targets. The Cougars were in a great position to tie the game twice late in the game until Halliday killed the drives. First, he threw an ill-advised lob pass into double-coverage in the endzone which ended up as an interception and then overthew his receiver by a mile on a fourth-down conversion attempt.
Halliday's inability to come up big when the game was on the line is indicative of a serious issue with the Washington State offense as a whole. The pieces appeared to be coming together at times on Saturday, but for them to get to the next level and find real lasting success under Mike Leach, they need a quarterback who can deliver in the clutch.
There were concerns about Halliday's ability to deliver in those situations before the season started. He has earned a reputation as a reckless "gunslinger" who puts passes in the air often with no more thought than a hope and a prayer. That came back to bite the Cougs in a major way against Auburn and will continue to be a stumbling block for WSU until he pulls his game together.
If Halliday can't get it together and stop sabotaging the Cougars in big spots like he did on Saturday, Leach may have to look to somebody else to be his starting quarterback. Will the junior signal caller be able to pull it together or will the Cougars suffer another season of quarterback instability?

Colorado Medicaid failed to implement all OIG recommendations
Healthcare Auditing Weekly, September 9, 2008
Colorado's Medicaid Drug Rebate Program only partially implemented the recommendations in the OIG's 2005 audit and still needs improvement, according to a follow-up OIG audit.
The Colorado Medicaid agency is negotiating a settlement with CMS over the alleged $1.9 million repayment the OIG recommended after the 2005 audit, according to the report. In addition, the state agency claimed it withheld 1.44% for Family Planning drug rebates when it actually withheld 1.3%. The calculations for the claims were based on inaccurate estimates.
According to the follow-up audit, the state agency has procedures in place to resolve outstanding disputes, but has $861,924 in manufacturer balances that were more than three years past due. The state agency also failed to report $22,399 of interest it received.
The OIG has recommended the Colorado Medicaid agency:
- Continue to work with CMS to determine and finalize a settlement of the prior recommendation that the state agency refund $1.9 million
- Work with CMS to determine the actual amount of the $1,829,501 in drug rebates from the current audit period that relate to the Medicaid program, OAP program, and Family Planning
- Actively pursue settlement of the disputed amounts and utilize available dispute resolution resources
- Refund $22,399 for the federal share of interest that was received but not reported
- Develop policies and procedures to accurately report Medicaid Drug Rebate activity

Mumford & Sons Say They've Finished Recording New Album
London-based quartet Mumford & Sons have been busy recently. The band put out a documentary called Big Easy Express about their tour with Old Crow Medicine Show and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, where the bands traveled from San Francisco to New Orleans via a vintage train. They also performed for President Obama at a state dinner thrown in honor of the British prime minister in March.
Between all of those engagements, Mumford and Sons have been working on a new album, promised to be an "evolution, not revolution," which keyboard player Ben Lovett confessed that the band is have finished recording a new album.
You might have to wait awhile to hear the follow up to their 2009 album, however. Lovett followed that confirmation by saying, ""But if we listen back while we're mixing and discover it's s***, we'll just start again. We're not going to put it out until it's good enough."
In an interview with MTV, frontman Marcus Mumford also said the band would "keep going until it's right" and that one way they test out songs is playing them live.
"We don't really like to put any boundaries on it; we'll keep going until it's right," Mumford said. "It's definitely a different experience from the first one, as it should be, I think. But it's been challenging in all the right ways. It's going well."

Going back to work on the Monday after a holiday is always a bit rough. Imagine how brutal it is for the wrestlers of the WWE to get back to their grind.
Monday Night Raw will beam live across the nation with your favorite sports entertainers in donnybrooks straight from downtown Phoenix. The flagship show for the WWE is nearly 20 years old, and the weekly battles between the good, the bad, and the in-between in January usually lean toward hyping up the Royal Rumble pay-per-view toward the end of the month. That means youll probably hear wrestling superstars like John Cena, Randy Orton, and The Miz barking about their ability to plow through 29 other dudes.

December 14, 2014 - Beautifully delicate, perfect for late spring or a cool summer evening. Sherbet is the best color, so feminine .
December 20, 2013 - I can't even begin to count the compliments I've received on this very lightweight sweater. The Sherbet is a lovely light orange. Perfect when you want something lightweight and not too warm. I wish I had found this when there were other colors available.
February 23, 2013 - I thought this would be more substantial-- from the images, but it's more of a mesh or net weave. It's very delicate, but I'm giving it 4 stars because it is a very nice sweater. I got the plum & it is pretty. It's a nice warm weather cardigan to wear over a short sleeve or tank, but also could be worn over a long sleeve to give a nice layered look without being too warm.

After losing to Guilford the first time around this spring, Branford girls' lacrosse faced the Indians again on May 14 with much greater stakes for a win would propel Jackie Alessi's team into the state tournament. The Hornets indeed got the win they needed in the rematch as sophomore Caroline Murphy scored from senior Nicole Luzzi in overtime to lift Branford to a 7-6 triumph at Guilford on the opposition's Senior Night.
The Hornets led 6-3 late in regulation before Guilford scored three straight goals on penalty strokes to send the contest to the extra frame. Although the Indians had momentum, Branford promptly squashed it when midfielder Murphy took a pass from Luzzi and fired it right past the head of Guilford's goalie, after which the Hornets killed the last 1:40 of OT and then engaged in a crazed celebration.
"The girls were fired up. They worked extremely hard, our defense was stellar, and we played like the unit we've been waiting to see. I'm happy for the girls and proud of them," said Coach Alessi, whose team beat Trumbull 13-4 two nights later to go 8-8 for the regular season. "We expect to make the playoffs and it's a letdown if we don't so it's a good feeling that the season isn't over yet. Now, we want more."
Luzzi, an attacker, netted two goals and dished out two assists for Branford, which also received two goals and one assist from Caitlin O'Brien, a goal with an assist from Jenny Royka, a goal by April Simmons, and an assist from Jessie Severino.
O'Brien captains the Hornets with defender Alicia Mortali, midfielder Kara Doyle, and Kailey Hassan-Wolf. Branford's two other seniors are Luzzi and starting goalie Olivia Leone.
"Our captains have been extraordinary, both on and off the field. They know when it's time to have fun and when it's time to get the team focused and push people to do well. They're great kids and good role models for the younger athletes coming up," Alessi said. "Olivia has played phenomenal in goal. She had 20 saves in a game with Cheshire and also played well against Guilford. She's playing the best lacrosse I've ever seen her play."
Leone made 17 saves in the Trumbull victory, a game which saw O'Brien scored four goals with an assist with Luzzi notching three scores. Additionally, Simmons scored a goal with three assists, Severino scored twice, Kara Nardella had a goal with an assist, and Royka and Doyle each added goals for the Hornets.
