text: I don't understand military fakers. Many of them actually served in the armed forces, but choose to embellish their contributions. There are whole websites dedicated to rooting out their fakery. Matt Farmer, an American Idol contestant, was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Iraq. Or so he claimed. Once he put out that sob story and how it affected his life and his daughter, Cadence, Soldiers who served with Mr. Farmer leapt into action. They worked with Guardian Of Valor to debunk the ex-Soldier's story. And presto, he is no longer on American Idol.

These are beautiful and surprisingly realistic. They create such a nice warm atmosphere, and I don't have to worry about my boys knocking them over and setting the carpet on fire. Bought them after I saw them at my yoga studio. I'm thinking of getting more!

POTSDAM The Sugar Shack has moved into 141 Market St., the former Tardellis Restaurant, and so far business is looking up, according to owner Karen E. Rayburn.
The restaurant and bakery spent a year and a half at 6585 Route 56. The new location is about the same size, but is closer to downtown. This attracts more customers, Ms. Rayburn said.
Weve met a lot of new people, and all of our old customers followed, she said.
The Sugar Shack uses only half the building. Billys Deli, owned by Cornelius Mahoney, was to move into the other half, but the plan fell apart when Billys closed. The future of the unused space is unknown.

|N.C. Lottery Tickets Sold in Vending Machines
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Wednesday, 11 April 2007 04:41
North Carolina has begun selling scratch-off lottery tickets in vending machines. About 500 machines are being installed across North Carolina at supermarkets including Food Lion and Lowe's Foods.Lottery deputy executive director Alice Garland says some convenience stores with high ticket sales are getting machines as a way to free up clerks. The machines will not sell tickets for other games, including Pick 3, Carolina Cash 5 and Powerball. Garland says the machines should be placed where clerks can watch them to make sure there Virginia has sold lottery tickets through vending machines since 1990, and Maryland began using them in 1998. Lottery vending machines are illegal in South Carolina.

By DOROTHY BRAYLEY
With the school year now in full swing, I am pleased to say that Rhode Island schools are working harder than ever to offer healthier and more Rhode Island-grown foods to their students and staff. The vast majority of schools are now compliant with the '06 and '07 Healthier Foods and Beverages in Schools laws. We no longer should see sweetened beverages or high sugar, high fat, high sodium junk food dispensed from vending machines, sold in school stores, sold in the cafeteria on a la carte lines, or available through other fundraisers during the school day. This is a wonderful improvement for the health of our children! RI Nutrition Regulations, (effective Sept. '09) are being implemented everywhere as well. In our school cafeterias at meal time, you will see lots more fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and Rhode Island-grown and produced foods. Children here are learning about real food, whole food and where food comes from and I am proud of our collective efforts across the state. For this school year, everyone should expect to see (and ask for) more scratch cooking and less processed foods being served in schools. I predict that the chicken nugget and the chicken patty for school lunch will be offered less and less this year. These "mystery meats" will be replaced with more Asian stir fries, freshly made calzones, vegetable paninis, legume dishes like mac & peez (made with chick peas), fruit and yogurt parfaits, hummus and other dips and spreads, and salad and veggie bars. Please continue to demand whole food, real food and tasty food in our school cafeterias. Promoting better school food is important because we are seeing some communities with upwards of 50 percent overweight and obese children. We MUST keep working to improve nutrition for children in school as well as in their community. Lately we've seen school wellness advocates call upon their local hospitals, child care centers, work sites and corner stores to join the schools in their efforts to improve the nutrition within their environments for all. Schools need to have nutrition support from their wider communities. I'm proud to announce that Kids First is launching a new project, Real Food First, to help hospitals and work sites do the hard work that our schools have done: make their food environments more nutritious. If you know of a hospital or work site that needs food transformation help, visit Real Food First at www.realfoodfirst.org [1] and contact us. Every community institution should be working toward healthier eating just as our schools have done. Thanks to all of our schools for doing this great, important and generative work. I challenge all of our hospitals and work sites to do the same.
Dorothy Brayley is the executive director of Kids First & Real Food First.

As President Obama prepares for his second term, he will face at least one formidable foe in his campaign against Judeo-Christian values. Following the election, Catholic bishops around the nation made it clear that on at least two fronts they will stand firm against the government: the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) contraception mandate, which requires employers — including Christian businesses and organizations — to provide health insurance that includes free sterilization and abortion-causing birth control pills; and the legalization of same-sex marriage.
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that while Catholic leaders are willing to work toward a resolution of the the Church's conflict with the federal government over the mandate, they would in no way compromise on issues vital to the faith of Catholics. "The only thing we're certainly not prepared to do is give in," Dolan told reporters at a November 12 bishops meeting. "We're not violating our consciences. I would say no door is closed except for the door to capitulation."
So far scores of religious colleges and non-profits, a majority of them Catholic, have sued to stop the implementation of the mandate, and an increasing number of Christian-owned private businesses are joining the suits, paying heed to the counsel of church leaders nationwide who advise that Christian doctrine and teaching prevent believers from following the mandate.
Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, who leads the bishops' ad hoc religious freedom committee, told the Catholic News Agency that with the election behind the nation, the HHS mandate is "what we actually concretely have to deal with now. And as it stands, certainly we would not be able to live with it.... That's just not who we are, and we don't find it appropriate for any government to draw lines in our mission where we don't draw them."

POINT BLANK Q & A – Playoff talk from Richard ParkMears to Pitt…Deb returns home…camp cash-out
News bulletin: Rick DiPietro skated with pads, but did not face shots. John Tavares, recovered from the flu, practiced.
I spoke yesterday with Richard Park, a player I respect as much as anyone on the Islanders. When he says his team will compete – and specifically outlines the reasons why – the opinion has credibility. Here are some excerpts from our conversation…
What's your reaction to having most of last year's team back?
Keeping everyone is huge. Having stability, having a system, is crucial. We have a coach coming into his second season in the league and with us, and essentially the same group is with him. That steadiness is so important when you're building a team. There won't be a transition for Scott and the team like there was last year. Scott will be even more confident in his teaching and his leadership because of the challenges we faced last season.
As someone who's now been in the league a long time, how do you address the low expectations most of the forecasters have for the team?
(Laughs) You don't read them! Look, all that stuff is fine. The media has a job. They dissect and analyze, and many of them do it well. But they are not psychics. I really believe in our group. No matter what's said about us outside our room, our expectations are rising.
Besides the stability factor, what gives you reason for optimism?
Our goalies alone will give us a chance to win on almost any given night. That's not a slight to Joey (McDonald) and Yann (Danis), but they were players at different stages of their careers than the veterans we have now. I played with Dwayne (Roloson) in Minnesota and he is outstanding. He'll also be a top leader for us. I didn't know Marty (Biron) until this week, but I've faced him enough to know he's a top-quality NHL goaltender. Having both of them is a huge plus for us.
I'm also counting on being a healthier team. That was crazy last season. If our D can stay healthy, they'll show everyone how solid they are in all areas.
You're in the last year of your contract. Would you like to stay with the Islanders and be part of the process?
This is where my loyalty is. For my family, Long Island has been terrific. We love it here. Loyalty grows, which is why it's exciting I've been able to stay here and why I believe it's the right thing keeping this group together. It makes you want to be a part of it and see the job through to the end.
Can this team be successful this year and beyond?
I know I mentioned last year's injuries because that was off-the-charts, but there really are no excuses for not winning. There are many different formulas to be successful, but I know we can do it our way. The number one thing for us is stability, adding a piece here and there and growing together. I'm very optimistic.
Are you convinced the Islanders will be competitive this year?
I don't think you can ever say how a season might end, but I'll give you this: when April comes around, I expect us to be in position to compete in the playoffs.
Mears to Pittsburgh: From change comes opportunity. Steve Mears, out when the Islanders dumped their radio team to simulcast the TV broadcasts, has landed on his feet spectacularly. He'll be the lead voice on a HD radio network created by his hometown Pittsburgh Penguins. Among his many roles, Steve will host a daily radio show on the Pens. Amazing team, new arena next season, working with one idol (Mike Lange) and for another (Mario Lemieux). Fair to say life worked out just fine for Steve, who deserved it.
Deb Returns Home: Point Blank has learned that the reason Rob Carlin is the sideline reporter only for Islanders road games is because Deb Placey is returning to the Coliseum to take over the home games. Welcome back, Deb.
Camp Windfall: The Penguins are having their training camp at the Igloo. The first four days are open and free to their fans. The Flyers' camp is at their nearby South Jersey training facility (I'll be there Monday and Tuesday for Fanhouse). Check out the week-long lineup of Flyers fan-friendly events. Washington's camp is at home, free for all fans. The Wild are practicing in front of large crowds in Minnesota. The Devils are in New Jersey, the Rangers are in New York. The Bruins are in Boston, serving breakfast to fans at camp. After hosting an 8-team prospects tournament in Traverse City, the Red Wings open camp this weekend . Tix for fans – including a Red & White game on Tuesday – are $5.
By now you get the point. Without question, the Islanders are making some good money this week with camp in Saskatoon and some games in the West. The revenue might even cover the price of a seventh defenseman. However, you have to wonder what the Islanders are losing. If good marketing isn't important, how come so many teams with ticket sales at 99% capacity continue to do it?
Cue the chorus: "When the Islanders get the Lighthouse Project…" C'mon. (Talk about serving up artificially-flavored fruit drinks!). I'm as pro-Lighthouse as the next person, but you can't explain everything away on the lack of a new arena. Only the Islanders and Florida Panthers are far, far away from home. If it wasn't for Newsday spending the money and Katie Strang blogging and Tweeting her brains out in Saskatchewan, no one would know Islanders training camp existed.
Maybe the Islanders can give their die-hards a good show when they return from the Canadian Prairies. In the mean time, it's quite remarkable how all these teams win Stanley Cups without traveling thousands of miles from their fan bases for training camp.
A Note to Readers: While my trip to Flyers camp will prevent me from hosting live interactive Comment-ary with readers during the Hockeyville game on Monday, I still will be posting stories throughout the week. To talk about the games and enjoy day-long conversation with fellow fans, if you don't know by now, Islandermania is one of the best places to be. For up-to-date news, Katie will have it all from Saskatoon and elsewhere.

PARISHVILLE - For the past 101 years, the body of Webster L. Howe laid in an unmarked grave in the Hill Crest Cemetery.
While the grave in front of Mr. Howes, belonging to his brother Rufus, was marked with Rufus name, as well as that of his wife and two other members of his family, Mr. Howe laid in rest behind his little brother underneath a simple stone that didnt even bear his name, let alone pay tribute to his military service.
That all changed though on Friday, when the Parishville Historical Association teamed up with Parishville Amvets Post 265 to dedicate a plaque bearing Mr. Howes name, along with a grave marker indicating that he served in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 alongside his brother.
Association President Joseph R. McGill said he first learned of Mr. Howes service while helping a great, great nephew of the Civil War veteran, Lee N. Houser, do some genealogy research.
I found an obituary for Webster Howe, and it said he was a Civil War soldier, Mr. McGill said. I thought he probably deserved to have a marked grave.
And so began the process that took nearly three years to come to fruition.
I had to get his service records, review the cemetery records and get a member of the family to agree to it, he said, adding Mr. Houser thought it was a great idea.
This was done with the help of many people, Mr. Houser said, adding Mr. McGill was assisted in his efforts by Town Historian Emma Remington and members of the Amvets from Parishville and Massena.
How often do you get to recognize someone who fought in the Civil War? asked Parishville Amvets Post 265 Commander Ron Ferguson. Its amazing to be a part of something like this and to honor someone after more than 100 years.
Chaplain Larry Page agreed.
Things like this are very important, he said.
Mr. Houser was in attendance at the service, traveling from Clifton Springs.
Mr. Houser said Mr. Howe had three other brothers who also fought in the Civil War - Rufus; David, who is buried in Wisconsin; and Russell, who is buried in Michigan.
It means a lot to me that were finally honoring him after 100 years, Mr. Houser said. Every veteran should have a grave marker with their distinguished service on it.
Mr. Houser said his family has a great tradition of military service that dates back to the American Revolution.
The Howe family has served in all our American wars with military service dating back to the American Revolution, he said. Websters great, great grandfather served with the Vt. Militia in the American Revolution. All three of his brothers, including my great, great grandfather Russell Seymour Howe were American Civil War veterans.
Mr. Houser said he began studying genealogy about 20 years ago, after some cousins presented him with some information that he didnt think was accurate. After he began studying his family history, he discovered that not only was his great, great grandfather a veteran of the Civil War, but he had three other brothers who were also Civil War veterans.
For Massena Amvets Post 4 Commander Francis Bud Byington, Friday marked the first time he has participated in a ceremony honoring a veteran of the Civil War.
Mr. Byington traveled to Parishville with other members of the Amvets rifle squad to participate in the service.
Ive done more than 700 of these, but this is the first time I think weve done one for a Civil War veteran, Mr. Byington said,
Mr. McGill said Fridays service wasnt the first time Parishville has paid tribute to a soldier in the years following his death.
Emma Remington has done 11 of these over the past 30 plus years, he said. When we found this one, I thought it was my turn to take the lead.
While not all of the veterans had been buried in unmarked graves, Mr. McGill said there was no indication of their military service at their burial sites.
Theyre all war veterans from the Revolutionary War, Civil War or World War II, he said.

Advocacy and Action Alerts
Yesterday, the House voted on the fiscal year (FY) 2013 funding bill for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The bill provides $2.05 billion for McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants – a $104 million increase over the FY 2012 funding level. In this fiscal environment, this may seem like good news, but in reality, it creates a shortfall because of the fund distribution process. What this basically means for this funding cycle is that the increase would be insufficient to maintain the level of housing and services provided in 2012, and for 2013, approximately 25,000 people would be homeless instead of housed.
To really understand the funding implications, and how the distribution process works at the federal level, we need to delve a little deeper into what this funding level means.
Unfortunately, because of accounting issues, the approximately $100 million increase would actually mean less money for homeless assistance programs to spend. While it may be a bit confusing, this blog should help clear the air a bit on why, in FY 2013, what seems like more is actually less. Essentially, Congress is providing HUD with funding for housing and services up to several years before they are actually provided, and then once that cycle expires, it will cost more for HUD to continue the same level of spending on housing and services going forward. Thus, the proposed FY 2013 funding level won't cover what is already in place.
How it works:
Some of HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) grants initially operate under multi-year contracts. These renewals typically comprise most of the funding provided by Congress to McKinney programs each year. The annual funding appropriation from Congress is like a deposit into HUD's checking account, to be paid out to providers over a certain number of years. In these CoC programs, all the funding for a multi-year contract is deposited into HUD's bank account, if you will, in the first year of the contract. Each year, HUD distributes funds to providers from that initial deposit for the duration of the contract, so Congress does not need to provide any additional appropriations. When the initial contract expires and funds have dried up, in order to keep paying for the same level of services and housing, new money has to be put in HUD's checking account. Thus, Congress must increase HUD's budget authority in the appropriations bill so that spending under the Continuum of Care grants may continue at the same level as in the previous year. You can learn more about all the nitty-gritty details of the appropriations process here.
Okay, here's an example:
Suppose HUD awarded $350,000 to a provider in FY 2008 for rent subsidies for people experiencing homelessness. Typically, under the law in effect at that time, HUD would be required to award five years' worth of rent subsidies (for a five-year contract). Under congressional accounting rules, the entire $350,000 would be set aside from the FY 2008 appropriation to last for five years. In the first year, HUD would write $70,000 worth of checks to landlords for those housed, and $280,000 would remain. In each of the remaining four years of the contract, HUD would provide another $70,000 to the landlords out of the remaining funds, but Congress would not need to appropriate any additional funds for the project.
But by FY 2013, the money is gone, and those people are still living in their apartments and need their rent paid. Therefore, in FY 2013, HUD will need an additional $70,000 from Congress in the FY 2013 appropriations bill in order to continue to pay the landlords. Thus, HUD will spend the same amount of money in FY 2013 as in FY 2012 ($70,000), but the amount appropriated by Congress will be greater than in FY 2012. All subsequent renewals, after the initial contract expires, would be done through one-year contracts. So, the amount appropriated by Congress and the amount spent by HUD would be the same in FY 2013 and all future years. The following chart summarizes how federal funding would be made available for this one project:
As a result, Congress could provide an increase in appropriations in FY 2013 (such as the House bill does – about a $100 million increase), while still having an end result that the number of people served and contracts supported see a cut in funding. There's not enough of that $100 million increase to go around among all these programs already housing and assisting people. Under the House's proposal, some existing programs just won't get funded, or won't be fully funded at the same level as they have been.
So, as I said earlier, this basically means the increase would be insufficient to maintain the level of housing and services provided in 2012. As a result, approximately 25,000 people would be homeless instead of housed.
For FY 2013, the Senate provided $2.145 billion for McKinney – enough for all renewals and $286 million for the Emergency Solutions Grant program, though it's still not as much as the $2.231 billion requested by the President. To avoid what we have estimated as an approximately 5 percent across-the-board cut to CoC funding, Congress must provide a greater increase in McKinney funding than the House did.
Help us make sure that Congress knows that letting 25,000 people be homeless instead of housed would be unacceptable! Urge them to provide $2.231 – the amount requested by the President – for McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants. Act now!
Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee announced its funding levels for key programs serving low-income and homeless people within the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and Education (yes, it's quite a big bill!). To cut to the chase, many of the programs on which the Alliance works and on which people experiencing homelessness rely, including SAMHSA Homeless Services, Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) programs, Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH), and the Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) program, along with many other programs, would receive the same amount of funding in fiscal year (FY) 2013 under the Senate's proposal as they do in FY 2012.
Many of these programs, – especially RHYA programs – have seen several years of flat funding in a row – despite increased need, despite a bad economy that continues to fare poorly month after month, and despite the program's target population: our nation's most vulnerable young people.
In recognition that flat funding is not enough, the Alliance has made RHYA and SAMHSA two of its top priorities for Capitol Hill Day this year. We are hoping to bring these two issues, and a handful of others, to the forefront of congressional offices' minds and educate as many Members of Congress as possible on the importance of these key programs. We've got loads of materials to help participants prepare, and our State Captains are in the process of setting meetings up with key Members (in the House and Senate). But in order to make the biggest impact, we need you!!
If you're planning on coming to the National Conference on Ending Homelessness (in less than a month's time!), join us as we make sure that Congress knows the impact of these programs and hears loud and clear from all of you that flat funding is not enough! We are working extra hard this year to ensure that youth providers play a big role in Capitol Hill Day, so get involved! Reach out to us or your State Captains to find out how we can work together to ensure that these programs are not forgotten!
Today, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (T-HUD) approved its funding bill for fiscal year (FY) 2013. The legislation provides funding for HUD programs, including McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, CDBG, HOME, and many other homeless and housing programs. As you may have already seen from our most recent Advocacy Update, out of the legislation comes some good news and some not-so-great news.
The bill includes increased or level funding for a variety of key programs, including increases for CDBG, HOME, Public Housing, and new money for HUD-VASH vouchers. Further details can be found in the House's press release here. These funding levels are great news for HUD programs under a very difficult budget environment and will have an important impact in meeting the housing needs of many low-income individuals and families.
The legislation also includes $2 billion for HUD's McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants, which is actually an increase of nearly $100 million over the FY 2012 level. This would ordinarily be fantastic, but by the Alliance's estimates, due to the increasing cost of renewals, $2 billion actually wouldn't be enough to funding all CoC renewals and maintain the existing level of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) activities (rapid re-housing and prevention activities under the HEARTH Act). As a result, we anticipate that this funding level would result in more than 25,000 people being homeless instead of housed. In the current economic climate, this would of course be devastating.
So what can we do? We can advocate for change! The good news is that this legislation is not yet finalized, and we have an opportunity to make an impact. There are many instances along the way when this bill can be altered, but the best opportunity is right around the corner! The full House Appropriations Committee will review the legislation and have the first opportunity to make changes as soon as next week.
This means that your representatives need to hear from you NOW! We need YOUR help to send a strong message to Congress that HUD's McKinney-Vento programs need $2.23 billion to cover all CoC renewals, fund ESG activities to begin to balance the loss of HPRP, and make further progress toward HEARTH Act implementation.
Call your representatives' offices TODAY (congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121), and ask others to call, too! Mention that you are happy to see increases to key affordable housing programs, but are disappointed that the bill would make more than 25,000 people homeless rather than housed. Urge them to support the $2.23 billion funding level requested by the Administration for McKinney. If you have questions about reaching out to your representatives' offices, let me know!
The bottom line is that we can make an impact, but we need YOUR help! This is a crucial opportunity to ensure congress understands the importance and effectiveness of HUD's McKinney-Vento programs in our communities. Please take a moment to reach out and help us ensure that all families, children, veterans, and individuals experiencing homelessness have a place to call home.
As regular readers of this blog know, we write fairly often about federal homelessness appropriations – what's happening, how you can get involved, and what various proposals would mean for your daily work on the ground to prevent and end homelessness. But we haven't written about appropriations (the federal funding process) in several weeks, so you may be wondering: what's the latest news?
The House and Senate are both busy working on their fiscal year (FY) 2013 funding bills. We have been tracking three particular bills very closely, so read on for more information on each of those funding measures!
HUD. The Senate Appropriations Committee has approved its FY 2013 bill to fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The full Senate has yet to vote on the legislation, though it may do so in the coming months. The Senate's version included $2.146 billion for HUD's McKinney-Vento programs – not as much as the $2.231 billion requested by the President, but still a $245 million increase over FY 2012!
The House has not yet released its FY 2013 HUD funding bill, though it is expected to do so shortly. (Sign up for our McKinney-Vento Campaign list or our Advocacy Updates for the latest details!)
VA. The Appropriations Committees in both the House and Senate have approved their FY 2013 funding bills for programs within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) – including targeted homeless veteran programs. Both bills would provide the Administration's requested 33 percent increase to $1.35 billion for VA's homeless veteran programs, including $300 million for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program. The full House may vote on this legislation this week.
HHS. Each year, one of the most difficult bills to pass is the one that funds programs like the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA ) programs within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – largely because it is such a big bill and includes such a huge range of programs. As a result, it's often one of the latest to be released. So far, neither the House nor the Senate has released its proposal for the FY 2013 HHS funding bills, and no timeline has been announced for doing so. We'll keep you posted as we learn more!
As you can see, Congress is definitely making progress with these bills, though nothing has been finalized yet. As of now, Congress is not expected to finalize any of its FY 2013 funding bills prior to the start of the fiscal year on October 1. Instead, Congress will likely pass one or more stopgap funding measures (called continuing resolutions) until after the election before finalizing their funding decisions.
So, there is still plenty of time to get involved! Though in most cases, the Appropriations Committees have released their decisions, when the legislation goes to the House or Senate floor, every vote counts! Your Members of Congress need to hear from YOU on the importance of these programs and how they make a difference in the lives of people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. If you would be interested in getting involved in any of our campaigns to provide funding for homelessness programs, please let us know!

When our blog readers think of Washington, DC, they often think of politics (and politicians, of course), soaring monuments, and hopefully, the Alliance's advocacy efforts. But in all seriousness, coming to our nation's capital is a great opportunity to learn what's happening with federal policy and to make an impact on it. We talked last week about how to participate in Capitol Hill Day, but our National Conference on Ending Homelessness also offers a great opportunity to learn more about federal policy and advocacy, including messaging and how-tos.
This year, we've got a great track of workshops for anyone who wants to better hone their advocacy skills, for seasoned advocates, for Capitol Hill Day participants, or for folks who are just curious. Here's a basic overview of some of the great advocacy workshops we're planning:
- Building a Systems Change Movement: Engaging Local Leaders – This workshop will provide attendees with concrete examples and how tips for getting your local community leaders (elected officials or otherwise) to work together to support and affect positive systems change.
- Impacting Policy: Making the Most of your Advocacy Meetings – Ideal for Capitol Hill Day participants, this workshop will cover the nitty-gritty of conducting a meeting with your Member of Congress or their staff. The lessons imparted will also translate to local and state policymakers or other key stakeholder meetings.
- The Federal Budget: Update and Impact on Ending Homelessness – There have been many changes to federal funding and the funding process this year, and these changes may have a big impact on key programs working to end homelessness. This workshop will give you an update and provide an outlook on what's next for Congress, and what it means for our nation's efforts to prevent and end homelessness.
- Impacting Policy: Developing Effective Advocacy Messaging – Getting the right message for the right audience is a key aspect to effective advocacy. This workshop will offer participants successful strategies for developing a policy agenda and what messages work best for key policymakers.
- Election 2012: Engaging Consumers, Candidates, and Your Community – the election season will be in full swing following our conference. Elections offer a great opportunity to get involved in the political process and ensure that candidates are aware of the issue of homelessness in their communities. This workshop will provide ways in which nonprofits can get involved in the election cycle, the importance of doing so, and legal limitations.
These workshops are all scheduled during different slots so you can attend all of them (and we of course encourage you to do so!) For more information on our conference and what you can expect there, check out some of the other recent and upcoming blog posts.
If you have any questions about how to get involved in advocacy at our conference or elsewhere, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Capitol Hill Day is held every year in conjunction with the Alliance's National Conference on Ending Homelessness here in Washington, DC every July. It allows conference participants to take the opportunity to take advantage of their time in the nation's capital to meet with their U.S. Senators and Representatives and their staff. Last year, participants attended nearly 270 meetings with congressional offices from 42 states! Face-to-face time with Members of Congress and their staff is one of the most important ways to take part in federal advocacy by educating Members and describing what's happening on the ground back in their districts. These meetings are a critical component to your work in ending homelessness.
By participating in these meetings, you can work to build or establish relationships with the congressional offices, educate your Members on your progress in preventing and ending homelessness at home, and encourage them to support your work.
So how can you get involved? The first step is to register for our conference, if you haven't already done so! Early registration closes on May 30, so register now to receive the best rates! For a closer look at what we'll be covering at the conference, check out the website or our recent blogs. After registering for the conference, get in touch with your State Captain. State Captains take the lead in each state scheduling the meetings, coordinating participants, and ensuring the right policy priorities are covered in each meeting. To find your State Captain, click here.
The Alliance works to make your participation in Capitol Hill Day as easy as possible – all you need to do is show up and share your knowledge! We'll provide talking points, one-pagers, other information on our policy priorities, and the latest updates from Capitol Hill. We'll even provide directions to the Hill! The best part is that Capitol Hill Day doesn't interfere with the conference! You can participate in all the great workshops and still go to the Hill on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 18. And the Alliance will be there to help you out every step of the way – you can find us at any time throughout the conference for assistance.
It couldn't be easier! Capitol Hill Day is an ideal time for conference participants to share what they have learned from their on-the-ground experience and at the conference with their Members in order to impact federal policy. It's up to us to work together to ensure Congress provides the necessary resources to continue preventing and ending homelessness in our communities. We look forward to seeing you in July!
If your state does not have a State Captain, and you would like to volunteer as one, or for more information on Capitol Hill Day, please contact me, Kate Seif (202-942-8281, email@example.com).
The Alliance will be busy this month up on Capitol Hill with three different congressional briefings with which we're involved. These briefings are intended to give Members of Congress and their staff details on key programs working to end homelessness as well as an overview of the solutions for certain subpopulations. Briefings are an opportunity to showcase successful programs for all Members of Congress as well as an opportunity for consumers to share the personal impact that programs funded by Congress have.
Here's a summary of what we'll be covering in our briefings this May:
- Homeless LGBTQ Youth. A briefing on May 10 will cover LGBTQ youth homelessness and what we need to do to prevent and end homelessness for this vulnerable population. The briefing will feature Cyndi Lauper from the True Colors Fund, André Wade, Youth Policy Analyst here at the Alliance, Debbie Shore from Sasha Bruce Youthwork and others. The panel will be focused on the experiences of LGBTQ homeless youth, the FY 2013 RHYA appropriations ask, advocacy for the addition of a non-discrimination clause into RHYA, as well as the Reconnecting Youth to Prevent Homelessness Act that was introduced last year by Senator John Kerry.
- Rapid Re-Housing. A May 17 briefing, organized by the Alliance, will discuss the success of rapid re-housing in helping families transition quickly out of shelter and back into housing. The goal of the briefing is to impart the positive impact rapid re-housing is having on the lives of children and families and why we need more to end homelessness in the United States. The briefing will explore the positive outcomes rapid re-housing models are having on program outcomes, family well-being, cost-savings, and more. The briefing will feature Nan Roman of the Alliance, Nan Stoops of the Washington Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Matt Minkevitch of Salt Lake City's Road Home, and others.
- Veteran Homelessness. On May 23, the Alliance is co-hosting, with a number of partners, a briefing on homelessness among veterans. Speakers, which will include veteran service providers, policymakers, and advocates, will explore programs such as Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) and the joint HUD-VA Supportive Housing voucher program (HUD-VASH) in further detail. The briefing is designed to show the positive outcomes, good policy, and sensible investments that are being made to meet the federal government's goal to end veteran homelessness within five years through practice implementation and proper targeting.
As you can see, we have a full slate, but we need your help making sure these key messages get across to Members and their staff. As a constituent, it would be fantastic if you could take a moment to invite your Member of Congress and/or his/her staff to attend one (or all!) of these briefings. To find out more details on these briefings and who to invite/how to invite them, please contact Kate Seif at email@example.com.
Stay tuned to the blog on May 11, May 18, and May 25 to hear more about these briefings!
Do you know the number of homeless youth in your county or city? Communities across the nation have been conducting targeted youth counts, which the Alliance has gathered and placed on its new Youth Count media map and webpage to answer that question. The map will show you which communities have conducted counts, their results and a brief synopsis of the methodology used. Also, you'll find a link to the full report to read in its entirety. We hope that this map will encourage your community to conduct a targeted youth count that can be used to inform policy and the scaling of interventions.
We also want to provide resources to communities to help them to either improve their counts or to conduct initial counts of homeless youth. Therefore, you will find resources on our new webpage such as webinars, briefs and a toolkit about counting youth.
There's a lot more that needs to be done to be able to solve the issue of youth homelessness. What can you do? What can you encourage others to do?
What you can do:
- Form a committee to find out how youth can be targeted during your community's next Point-In-Time count.
- Get involved in your community's bi-annual Point-In-Time Counts as a youth advocate and/or provider.
- If you are already counting youth, re-visit your methodology and practices to make room for improvements.
What the Administration can do:
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and HUD should work together to make the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) the sole database for all homeless providers.
- HUD should align HMIS's reporting on age with HUD's definition of youth, which is between the ages of 18 and 24.
- HUD ought to have HMIS collect data on sexual orientation and gender identity regardless of age.
- Additionally, HUD should include in HMIS any additional information that HHS identifies is necessary to be in alignment with its runaway and homeless youth outcomes such as grade completion at entrance, length of stay in foster care and juvenile justice, and physical and mental health status.
- HHS should produce the national prevalence and incidence study of homeless youth.
What Congress can do:
- Congress should fund the prevalence and incidence study that was mandated in the Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008, which reauthorized the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA).
If you would like to submit a report of your community's targeted youth count to be added to the map, please feel free to contact me, André C. Wade at email@example.com.
We often write about the appropriations process on this blog, and we try to avoid using too much jargon. But when discussing the federal funding process, it's hard to avoid using at least a few terms that don't come up in normal everyday conversation (unless, of course, you work with us). They include "appropriations" – a formal word for "funding" – and "mark up" – the process whereby a committee amends and votes on legislation. And finally, there are "allocations," which, to add further confusion, come in both 302(a) and 302(b) varieties. This blog will hopefully clarify both of those terms and provide a little insight into why these references to an obscure part of the federal budget code matter to your efforts to prevent and end homelessness.
The 302(a) allocation is pretty easy – it's the amount the House and Senate say the Appropriations Committees have to spend on all federal "discretionary" programs (see this old blog for more info on discretionary spending), which includes pretty much every single homeless and affordable housing program. The 302(a) can vary between the House and Senate, as it does this year, depending on each chamber's priorities for federal spending.
Each Appropriations Committee (one in the House and one in the Senate) then divides the single, large 302(a) allocation (to give you a sense of the size, it was $1.043 trillion last year) into twelve pots – one for each of the appropriations subcommittees. The amount that each subcommittee gets …drumroll, please…is called the 302(b) allocation (Whew! We finally got there).
Not every subcommittee gets the same 302(b) allocation. For example, the Defense Subcommittee tends to get the biggest 302(b) allocation, while the Legislative Branch Subcommittee's allocation is comparatively tiny.
These allocations matter because they are then split up again, into specific programs. The 302(b) ultimately determines how much each federal department can spend on the various programs under its control. For HUD, this means programs like McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants and Housing Choice Vouchers; for VA, it includes SSVF and GPD; for HHS, this includes programs like SAMHSA Homeless Services, RHYA, and so on.
This year, the Senate and House released the following allocations:
|Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies (T-HUD)
|$51.606 billion
|$53.438 billion
|Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies (Milcon-VA)
|$71.747 billion
|$72.241 billion
|Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (L-HHS)
|$150.002 billion
|$157.722 billion
Lower allocations in the House compared to the Senate likely indicate that many programs will receive less funding under the House's proposal than the Senate's. The higher the allocation is for each subcommittee compared to the previous year, the more likely individual programs like HUD McKinney-Vento are to receive increases, which is why we made a big push last month to increase the T-HUD 302(b) allocation. It's worth noting that the levels vary so much between each subcommittee due to the varying size of the departments and agencies each subcommittee oversees.
So, the more we can increase the allocation for each subcommittee, the more likely we can achieve increased funding levels for key affordable housing and homelessness programs – and the more people you can serve in order to make further progress ending homelessness.
This morning, the Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to approve its fiscal year (FY) 2013 funding bill for programs within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). And the highlights are pretty exciting.
First and foremost, we at the Alliance were happy to see that the bill includes a $245 million increase to HUD's McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants – the largest one-year increase in nearly 20 years! According to our estimates, the McKinney-Vento funding level of $2.15 billion would fund all renewals and provide $286 million for the new Emergency Solutions Grant program. It's still about $80 million less than the level proposed by the President, so we hope you'll work with us to thank your senators but urge them to work throughout the rest of the annual funding process to provide the full increase requested by the President.
The draft legislation also includes funding increases or maintains flat funding for many critical affordable housing programs, including:
- $19.4 billion for Housing Choice Vouchers, including $75 million for approximately 10,000 new HUD-VASH vouchers;
- $9.6 billion to renew all Section 8 project-based contracts for a full 12 months;
- $4.6 billion for the Public Housing Operating Fund, an increase of $629 million from FY 2012;
- $1 billion for HOME, which represents flat funding from FY 2012; and
- $3.1 billion for the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), an increase of $152 million over FY 2012.
These proposed funding increases will go a long way toward keeping or placing many low-income families and individuals in affordable housing and preventing or ending their homelessness. However, this proposal comes as many communities are seeing an increased demand for homeless assistance resources, even as the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) is set to expire. Given the tight budgetary constraints facing the Appropriations Committee, we were glad to see that the Committee emphasized the importance of affordable housing and homelessness programs, though additional resources are still needed for many of these key programs.
So, where does this leave us? The truth is that this is just one step in a long process before final legislation is produced and sent to President Obama for his signature – probably after the election. First, the full Senate is likely to vote on this legislation, and the House is expected to release its own proposal later this spring.
These proposed increases are the result of your weeks of hard work; we truly could not have seen such an impact without your efforts. Help us make these proposals a reality! You can still impact the process by making calls and sending letters. For details on how to get involved, email Kate Seif at email@example.com or check out our FY 2013 McKinney Campaign Page.

|Samantha Smith plays some tough defense as she gets in the face of a Delta player in the first match up between the two teams. Carbon defeated Delta again last Thursday by the score of 43-30
The Lady Dinos started the second half of region play with a solid win over Delta last Thursday night. Carbon defeated the Rabbits 43-30 to up their region record to 4-1. That keeps them tied with North Sanpete for the number two slot and Emery remaining on top and undefeated in region play.
The Dinos helped themselves to a five point lead to start the game. They increased it to eight going into the locker room. At half time the score was 25-17 in favor of the Lady Dinos.
Coach Carlson felt like her team came out of the locker room too content with their lead and didn't play with the intensity they needed to finish off a game. The Rabbits limited the Carbon offense to only four points in the third. The side of the game that Coach Carlson feels remains consistent is the defense and even though offensively the team sputtered, the defense remained strong and they limited Delta to only seven points to keep a five point lead going into the final period of play.
Carbon kicked it up a notch and got their offense back on track. The Dinos finished off with 14 in the final period to take the win by 13.
Only one Dino scored in double figures in the win. The Smith sisters were the leading scorers with Patricia hitting for 11 and Samantha contributing eight. Julia Potts added seven. Patricia Smith went 7-7 from the line. Emily Cox pulled in eight rebounds to lead the defensive effort.
The team is now 13-4 on the season and have only three region games left. Next week may be the decisive week for the Dinos as they have a North Sanpete team coming into town. Carbon has taken every match-up with North Sanpete this season in both volleyball and now basketball and the Hawks would like to change that with a win on the Dino home floor.
Games against North Sanpete have been as intense as any state tournament game in the past few years and the Dinos expect nothing less on Tuesday. They know that their "A" game is going to be necessary for another win over the Hawks and a lock for at least second place in the region.
A trip to Emery will follow on Thursday. Coach Carlson feels like the game will be as much of a mental battle as anything. A win will be Carbon's only shot at going into the state tournament as the number one seed.
Tuesday's match-up will be at Carbon High with tip-off at 7 p.m. The Thursday game will be at Castle Dale with game time also at 7 p.m.
Correcting an earlier story; the Carbon Lady Dinos did not play Morgan earlier in the season. They were defeated by Wasatch in a non-region match-up. Since many on the basketball squad played on the volleyball squad as well, they were looking for revenge from the state volleyball tournament defeat that left them with a second place finish.

I posetd this at linuxquestions.org and someone suggested I come here. So I'll try asking here.
Hi folks,
I'm wondering if it's possible to configure Squid (and a browser) so that the client makes the connection to the proxy over HTTPS even though the final web server connection is only HTTP.
I would like to run a proxy server on my linux box at home and then use that as a proxy from work or other places. But my ISP seems to block incoming HTTP connections. HTTPS connections are not blocked.
So to get around this, can I configure squid (or even a browser for that matter) to connect with something like:
Browser client => HTTPS => squid proxy => HTTP => normal-non-ssl-site.
This is my distro, though I don't think this is relevant. Please move as appropriate thanks.
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)

Thanks for any help.

Comments about Patagonia Strider Shorts (Women's):
i am 5'5" and 122 lbs and ordered a medium. they fit fine - slightly loose in the waist but they don't move around, so it is comfortable. these were not as lightweight as i hoped but still fine for long runs in the summer.
Comments about Patagonia Strider Shorts (Women's):
I love these shorts I bought 3 pairs and run in them all the time and find them very comfortable. I used to wear nike shorts and I will never go back these are much better.

Comments about Patagonia Strider Shorts (Women's):
I just bought these shorts and ran a 16 mile trail race in them. I was highly annoyed the whole time with the crotch inseam and length. These seem to be made for teenagers or people who want low rider shorts. The shorts rode up in the crotch area the entire time. I was ready to strip down to my undies around 8 miles into the race. I have tons of Patagonia running gear and love it all, with the exception of these shorts. Very disappointed and will be returning. So far, the best running shorts I've found are the North Face flight series shorts.

Home to Yoda during his final years, Dagobah was a swamp-covered planet -- a forgotten world where the wizened Jedi Master could escape the notice of Imperial forces. Characterized by its bog-like conditions and fetid wetlands, the murky and humid quagmire was undeveloped, with no signs of technology. Though it lacked civilization, the planet was teeming with life -- from its dense, jungle undergrowth to its diverse animal population. Home to a number of fairly common reptilian and amphibious creatures, Dagobah also boasted an indigenous population of much more massive -- and mysterious -- lifeforms.

Yoda's Final Moments
Returning to Dagobah to complete his training, Luke learns from an ailing Yoda the terrible truth that Vader is his father. The Jedi Master also offers Luke a tantalizing secret -- that there is another Skywalker.
Do or Do Not
When his X-wing sinks into the Dagobah swamp, Luke is encouraged by Yoda to use the Force to raise the ship from the depths.
Arriving on Dagobah
Luke Skywalker and his faithful astromech droid, R2-D2, arrive on the planet Dagobah in search of the Jedi Master, Yoda. Attempting to get himself out of their ship, R2-D2 plummets into the swamp below.

Yoda was a legendary Jedi Master and stronger than most in his connection with the Force. Small in size but wise and powerful, he trained Jedi for over 800 years, playing integral roles in the Clone Wars, the instruction of Luke Skywalker, and unlocking the path to immortality.
Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith.
A resourceful astromech droid, R2-D2 served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.
X-wing Starfighter
The X-wing is a versatile Rebel Alliance starfighter that balances speed with firepower. Armed with four laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, the X-wing can take on anything the Empire throws at it. Nimble engines give the X-wing an edge during dogfights, and it can make long-range jumps with its hyperdrive and its astromech droid co-pilot. Luke Skywalker is famous for destroying the Death Star behind the controls of an X-wing.
Qui-Gon Jinn
A venerable if maverick Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn was a student of the living Force. Qui-Gon lived for the moment, espousing a philosophy of "feel, don't think -- use your instincts." On Tatooine, Qui-Gon discovered a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was strong in the Force. Sensing the boy's potential, Qui-Gon liberated Anakin from slavery. The Jedi Master presented Anakin to the Jedi Council, but they deemed the boy too old to begin training and dangerously full of fear and anger. They refused to allow Qui-Gon to train Anakin, but rescinded their decision to fulfill Qui-Gon's dying wish.

PAWTUCKET — Wednesday night, residents will have a chance to weigh in on Mayor Donald Grebien's proposed operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year—a spending plan that would require an 80-cent tax increase per $1,000 of assessed valuation for homeowners. A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the City Council chambers on the third floor of Pawtucket City Hall at 137 Roosevelt Ave.
PAWTUCKET — Wednesday night, residents will have a chance to weigh in on Mayor Donald Grebien's proposed operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year—a spending plan that would require an 80-cent tax increase per $1,000 of assessed valuation for homeowners. A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the City Council chambers on the third floor of Pawtucket City Hall at 137 Roosevelt Ave.
The proposed $178 million budget for FY13 is roughly 3.25 percent higher than the $169.3 million figure for FY12, and includes the proposed School Department budget of almost $98.8 million. The general fund on the city side rose from approximately $106.9 million for FY12 to $109.3 million for FY13, while the school budget changed from $91.2 million in FY12 to the $98.8 million figure.
The property tax increase of 80 cents or whatever final number the City Council approves for the budget, would come on top of the new "equalized" tax rate that is needed to compensate for a decline in property values from the recent revaluation.
Because the value of average properties in the city dropped by about 20 percent from three years ago, city officials must adjust the tax rate in order to collect the same amount of dollars as last year. The equalized rate takes the current residential rate of $17.78 per $1,000 and increases it to $22.26 per $1,000 to bring in the same base amount of tax dollars. However, if the budget was simply level-funded, it would not be enough to account for contractual obligations, losses of revenue and various increased costs in the new fiscal year.
When combined with the mayor's proposed 80-cent budget increase, the estimated tax rate would be $23.06 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for residential real estate, and $30.88 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for commercial/industrial/mixed use.
According to the Tax Assessor's office, the average single-family home declined by about 17 to 20 percent from three years ago when the last property revaluation was done. Under the equalized rate, the average city homeowner will see a property tax increase of about $109. About 38 percent of residential property owners will see their tax bills go up due to the equalized rate while others will stay the same or decrease.
In his address to the City Council at the budget presentation, the mayor said the property tax hike is needed for the city to function in light of a drop in revenue, decreased property values and increased expenses, including pension obligations for municipal employees.
During two days of budget worksessions held last week, the City Council had the chance to question municipal department heads about their various budget requests. Several councilors have indicated that they intend to pare down some of the line items or new spending requests in the budget to reduce the proposed 80-cent tax hike, but a tax increase of some amount appears to be inevitable.
On the chopping block could be the funding for the financially troubled Blackstone Valley Visitors Center, which operates in the Chester Building at 175 Main St., as well as a proposed plan to renovate the lobby of the Police Station and some other DPW projects.
Councilors also raised questions last week about a $60,000 outlay in the budget to move the economic development director position under the umbrella of the Pawtucket Business Development Corporation and add an administrative assistant and funds for marketing that would be paid for partly through city money as well as private donations and grants. The goal, according to the mayor's office, is to achieve 100 percent funding from private sources. The council requested additional information on the proposal.
According to the mayor's office, the budget proposal shows savings resulting from two direct lay-offs and 11 positions that will be left vacant or eliminated for a total projected savings of $786,459 over the current year's budget. However, city leaders had been hoping to gain significant savings from concessions in new collective bargaining agreements with the municipal workers' unions—a scenario which didn't occur. All of the current union contracts expire as of June 30.
City Council President David Moran said Tuesday that the councilors are "definitely looking to reduce that 80-cent rate" and he looks forward to hearing their input at Wednesday's meeting. "I feel confident we can get it down somewhat, but it's not going down to zero. That's just not realistic," he said.
Moran said he knows the administration had counted on gaining concessions from the unions to deal with the city's structural deficit. While the contract negotiations are an ongoing process, he said it is disappointing to see that movement in this area seems to have stalled.
Moran added that councilors are well aware of the double hit that taxpayers will be taking this year due to both the equalized tax rate and the need to increase the budget. "It's not good news for the average taxpayer," he conceded. But, he said the council will do what it always does—scrutinize the budget and try to find a way to lessen the burden.
While the budget is up for first passage on the council agenda, Moran said he doesn't think this will happen Wednesday night. He said he expects amendments to be made, which will necessitate another public hearing on the changes. "I do not want to rush this process. It's too important," he stated.
Moran said the council will likely hold another meeting on the budget in the middle of next week, with a possible vote on first passage the following week.

Video: Governor LePage signs curtailment order
AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Despite the snowstorm and a state government shutdown, Governor LePage today signed an order to cut or freeze state spending, to save 35.5 million dollars.
The curtailment order is designed to keep this year's budget in balance despite an unexpected drop in tax revenues. Finance Commissioner Sawin Millett outlined the plan Thursday afternoon.
The four biggest cuts---more than 75% of the total curtailment -- come from some of the biggest parts of the state budget. Health and Human Services will take a $13.1 million dollar cut. Education $12. 5 million, the University of Maine System $2.5 million and Department of Corrections $1.9 million.
The education cuts could prove to be the most controversial, because they come directly out of General Purpose Aid to Education, which provides state aid to local schools. But Commissioner Millett says he thinks many of the school districts are prepared, because they've had months of warning that cuts could be made.
Millett says those school funding cuts won't take effect until after the Legislature has had a chance to review them and decide if they approve. Most of the other cuts or spending freezes will take effect right away, but under law they are temporary.
Millett says the Curtailment package will be included as part of a larger Supplemental Budget, which will be submitted to lawmakers by January 11. That will give the Appropriations Committee a chance to debate all of those cuts and decide if they will become permanent.
The Supplemental Budget will also include provisions to make up a far larger shortfall in the Medicaid or Maine Care program, which was last estimated to be greater than $100 million.

What is the logical diffrence between LAN & WAN? This question is asked by a company in Interview.They asked for what is logical difference betwwen LAN & WAN other than Router,lease line,Firewall etc.
Ya....Area they covered..they asked for the logical difference.
Hi all,
Please help me by answering the above quoted question . What is the logical difference between LAN & WAN?
. Logically, they are different in the TCP/IP architecture, and subnets.
Well in one simple statement, pre-router and post-router for starters.
The WAN generally would include routable addresses whereas the LAN does not.

Detailed Description:
Progressive microangiopathy and endothelial dysfunction are identified in early phases of systemic sclerosis. These alterations may result in progressive reduction of vessel lumen, decreased blood flow, and a state of chronic hypoxia resulting in digital ulcers, digital pitting, and, in more severe cases, gangrene and amputation of the extremities. Few studies aimed to evaluate the effects of Sildenafil on the microcirculatory blood flow in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to systemic sclerosis (SS). Moreover, no study has evaluated the effect of this drug on the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells in SS patients. The relatively new technique of laser Doppler imaging (LDI) allows an objective measurement of superficial cutaneous microvascular blood flow and constitutes a promising approach in the assessment of the digital microvascular vasoreactivity in response to cold stimulus or in response to treatment in SSc patients.
