Two mental health service companies in central and midcoast Maine have suspended MaineCare services because of allegations of fraud. The state of Maine has stopped payments to Umbrella Mental Health and AngleZ Behavioral Health Services. As Patty Wight reports, the suspension leaves about 500 Mainers in search of care.
The two health service companies have locations in Augusta, Winthrop, Damariscotta and Wiscasset. And Maine Department of Health and Human Services spokesman John Martins wants to make one thing clear about the state's suspension of MaineCare payments to them:
"Nobody is losing MaineCare services. What basically is happening is people will have to get their services provided elsewhere," Martins says.
The suspension took effect on Sept. 25th, after someone somewhere uncovered what's being called a "credible allegation of fraud." Martins can't elaborate on exactly what kind of fraud, but he says allegations can originate from claims and audit data, or a hotline tip. Allegations are passed on to agencies, like the Attorney General's Office and the Department of Justice, which determine whether they're credible.
"If they do, they notify our department, and by federal law and state statute, we have no choice but to suspend the payments until an investigation has taken place," Martins says.
"Unfortunately, the government investigation protocols prevents us from learning why the suspension has occurred," says Annalee Morris, the CEO of AngleZ Behavioral Health Services, which provides outpatient therapy, medication management, and community integration services.
Morris says news of the suspended payments came as a complete shock. She says she's cooperating with authorities, but has appealed the allegation, and been told it will be a week to 10 days until the appeal is reviewed. In the meantime, Morris says, she's had to lay off most of her 87 employees.
"We are running a small amount of employees that are dealing specifically with the clients that are most in need, and are most vulnerable at this point. And we're just hoping that payments will resume in the very near future," she says.
AngleZ deals exclusively with MaineCare patients, so with those payments suspended, Morris says she can likely only retain the remaining employees for just a week. She says the focus now is on helping clients transition to different providers, a prospect that Helen Bailey of the Disability Rights Center says can be particularly distressing.
"Mental health services, especially these types of mental health services, is all about relationships, and so it's really disruptive to have to change relationships," Bailey says.
DHHS is also working to find care for affected clients. The Department of Labor has deployed its Rapid Response team to help affected employees determine their next steps. Umbrella Mental Health Services declined comment for this story.

Believe It Can… Because it Did Happen
Tommy DeeFree throws and no Raymond Felton aside, yesterday's game essentially came down to this. Joe Johnson, who had a strong game, made a really tough fadeaway jump shot from the right side. Carmelo Anthony missed his chance.
It was a great game and Nets fans have every reason to crow… and believe me they are. My office is in Brooklyn and I'm listening to it as we speak.
What spurred me to write this was a thought I had via twitter yesterday. My biggest concern with this Knicks team isn't the age. It free throws. It isn't shot selection and it isn't rebounding. Those are all big concerns, but for me it starts with the play of Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire and from what we saw in the third quarter, I can't help but be excited by the chemistry between the two.
Frankly speaking, they haven't played that well together since Anthony came here in 2011.
What you saw was Amar'e living on the baseline and playing on a string to Melo's drives. What you saw was a player looking to catch and finish and another player looking to find that player with crisp quick passing.
What you saw was chemistry building.
Let's hope we see more Thursday, but the key thing is this…
It CAN happen and that's exciting.

So what mepis used to based on? RH?
I used to use Mepis Linux back in the good ol' 2004 versions, however, i have been always unimpressed when it came to the Distro's ability to update, all of the servers always seemed to be down! Well, anyway, i haven't touched a Distro since about 5 months ago because I have simply not had the time, but I heard that Mepis is now based on Ubuntu, so I gave it a try.
Well, let me tell u that I am both shocked and astounded on just how far Linux has come in just a few months. The KDE 3.5 is much better then any other version so far, and I like the way that Mepis has everything right out of the box (multimedia and nvidia drivers) and i love the visuals. If u are looking for a new distro that is fairly simple to use (not too dumb though) and has a great install package, then install the new Mepis 6!!!

No IT BS !!
Mepis has always been based on Debian. It just now is switching from Sid to more of Ubuntu's respositories.
I been using it since 3.3.1 and do like it alot. I was using it and Ubuntu to see which one would be good to suggest to linux newbies. I haven't tried the new ubu mepis yet.
Microsoft aims to 'borg' Yahoo in $44.6 Billion deal
"We are Microsoft. Resistance is futile"
What does Mepis do to Ubuntu to merit a new distro? Ie, what does Mepis provide that Kubuntu does not?
I lost my self-respect at Wes' Rib House
Mepis is an installable LiveCD based on Debian. It is a pretty clean KDE centric distro that has pretty sane choices for default apps.
That's what I'm talking about. IMO, you just described Kubuntu perfectly. It's deadly clean and has sane defaults.
I suppose it's not an installable LiveCD...just a LiveCD and an Install CD. I don't really see that as a justification for a whole new distro, though.
I lost my self-respect at Wes' Rib House
I haven't messed with the new Mepis that has anything to do Ubuntu, but it had better hardware detection than Ubuntu and was easier to get functional (no dealing with anything like automatix or manual likeness) for me. Mepis was it's own distro before, only recently incorporating Ubuntu stuff.
Last I was over in the Mepis forums there were plenty of people worried about these changes, and not sure if Mepis would end up being a Kubuntu clone.
From this: http://www.mepis.org/node/9454 it sounds like Warren is going collaborative, so I'm not all too sure that MEPIS won't be swallowed by Kubuntu in the future.
Last edited by zenmatt; 04-13-2006 at 01:44 PM.
Its not a new distro, Mepis was around before Ubuntu hit the streets. It was just based on Debian Sid so it wasn't much of stretch to move to Ubuntu. Mepis has alot of custom tools to aid in administration, the stuff that the KDE control center doesn't do. I don't remember all what it does tho, its been a while since I messed with it.

It's Swarovski's world, and we're all just living in it. Named after Czech glassmaker Daniel Swarovski — who in 1892 invented a glass-cutting machine that revolutionized the crystal-making industry — this Austrian company develops crystals used in every imaginable setting: precision binoculars, grinding tools, road reflectors, the chandeliers at the Palace of Versailles, clothing, interior fittings, Philips headphones and USB memory drives, art exhibitions, even crystal-based theme parks (Swarovski's own Crystal Worlds facility in Wattens, Austria). Yet most people recognize Swarovski as the world's leading designer of high-end crystal jewelry. Through collaborations with household names such as Christopher Kane, Yoko Ono, Hello Kitty, and Disney, Swarovski has remained refreshing and on-trend in its designs, which range from rocker-goth skull beads to gala-appropriate bracelets, watches, necklaces, and earrings. Picture frames, eyeglasses, crystal figurines, and beautifully packaged fragrances are some of Swarovski's various other glittering products, which are so beloved that the company has created a special club for collectors: the hundreds-of-thousands-strong Crystal Society.
Sparkling statement-makers from the iconic costume jeweler.
Score must-have pieces from the finest Aussie design talents.

(AP)-Abby Wambach wants the new eight-team women's U.S. soccer circuit to live as part of her legacy.
The newly crowned FIFA Women's Player of the Year will play for the Western New York Flash in the National Women's Soccer League, one of eight teams that will start play this spring. It succeeds the U.S. Women's United Soccer Association (2001-03) and Women's Professional Soccer (2010-12).
Wambach played for the Washington Freedom in the previous leagues. Even though the 32-year-old forward bought a house last June in Portland, Ore., she decided moving back near home was important. She will be based in Buffalo, N.Y., about 70 miles from her hometown of Rochester.
Wambach said she's excited to have the chance to play for head coach Aaran "Kiwi" Lines telling Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar "I will be an open book. I told him yesterday I grew up in a big family and I'm the youngest of seven so I do what I'm told. All you got to do is tell me to go win a championship and its no problem right ?" Flash fans certainly hope so. Lines has guided his teams to championships each of the past three years.

CANTON -- An Ohio taxpayer is dismissing his lawsuit over a $5,000 court fine that Stark County Common Pleas Court Judge Frank Forchionedirected to the Connecticut community where 26 people were killed in a school shooting.
The taxpayer's attorney says he dismissed the suit Friday after Forchione had the money returned to Stark County.
Attorney Craig Conley had filed the suit, saying the law didn't allow Forchione to send the money to the Newtown school support fund instead of having it paid to the county.
Conley says the taxpayer he represents is satisfied his concerns have been addressed.
The $5,000 was paid by former Jackson Township basketball coach Scott Studer, 46,convicted of videotaping 112 boys in a locker room shower over a period of nearly eight years.
Forchione also sentenced Studer to 15 years in prison.
Studer admitted to this conduct at least 30 times each season, creating hundreds of recordings and a community full of hurt.
Studer coached at Jackson High School near Canton for more than two decades. He was arrested after investigators searched his home and found nude images on a DVD, a computer and a flash drive.

Fetal Immunity to Falciparum Malaria
Recruitment status was Recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to find out what effect malaria in the mother has on the development of her child's immune system response to malaria and whether being exposed to malaria in the womb makes a child more likely to get malaria. The study will also assess the effect that exposure to malaria in the womb has on the child's growth and development over the first three years of life. Study participants will include 480 healthy pregnant women (greater than or equal to 15 years of age), their healthy offspring, 20 healthy people from the United States with no malaria exposure or disease and 40 adult Kenyans who have previously been exposed to malaria or have malaria with no signs of infection. Study procedures will include an ultrasound (procedure to assess the baby's growth and development in the womb), blood, urine, and stool collections. Newborns will be examined at birth, and at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months of age.
Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Fetal Immunity to Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2007
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2011
The primary aim of this study is to determine how prenatal exposure to malaria influences development of humoral and cellular immune responses to malaria blood stage antigens from birth to 3 years of age. In addition, the study will determine the risk factors and mechanisms associated with congenital malaria or exposure of the fetus to malaria blood stage antigens, assess how prenatal exposure to malaria affects susceptibility to malaria infection during infancy, and evaluate how perinatal exposure to malaria affects growth and development during infancy. A primary goal of this research will be to examine a cohort of infants from birth to 36 months of age; the predictive value of allele-specific invasion inhibitory antibodies to Merozoite Surface Protein 1 (MSP1) and antibody titers to MSP1 will be evaluated with respect to type and magnitude of neonatal cellular and humoral immune response to MSP1. An understanding of natural immunity to MSP1, and the influence of prenatal exposure, may be critical to informed interpretation of immunologic, parasitologic, and clinical endpoints of vaccine trials using blood stage antigens that will be ultimately directed to infants and children. Healthy adult pregnant women (greater than or equal to 15 years of age) and their healthy offspring (beginning at birth) will be followed until they are 36 months old. Newborns will be examined at birth and at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months of age. Enrollment will occur at time of first visit to the antenatal clinic during the second trimester when peripheral blood, stool, and urine samples will be obtained from each pregnant woman. A finger stick blood sample will be obtained from the mothers at each subsequent antenatal visit to assess the presence of malaria during pregnancy. An ultrasound examination will be done on the mothers at the initial antenatal visit to assess gestational age and at 26-30 weeks to assure proper growth and development of fetus and to screen for any potential problems. At delivery venous and finger stick blood, stool, and urine will be obtained from the mother. Umbilical cord and placental blood, and a placental biopsy will be obtained, and thereafter infants will be followed every 6 months (plus or minus 2 months). A physical examination of infants will be done and peripheral blood, stool, and urine will be obtained from infants. The study population will also include about 20 healthy adult North American control subjects with no malaria exposure or infection and about 40 adult Kenyans who either have been exposed to malaria or have asymptomatic malaria infection.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- At least greater than or equal to 15 years of age.
- Willingness to provide informed consent.
- Confirmed pregnancy.
- Apparent good health.
- Long-term residence in Msambweni locations who anticipate residing in the area during the study period (at least 3 years). Women whose immediate and/or extended families do not reside in Kwale District will be discouraged from enrolling in the study.
- Willingness to donate blood (peripheral venous blood or fingerstick blood as per the protocol) during ANC visits and at the time of delivery.
- Willingness to release human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing results from the voluntary counseling and treatment (VCT) program, or be tested by our staff and, if positive, to have their infants tested for HIV at 12 and 24 months of age.
- Willingness of the infant's mother to participate in prenatal and postnatal care at Msambweni District Hospital.
- Willingness of the mother/caregivers to participate in a prospective survey that involves bi-annual venipuncture (3-5 mL blood volume) of the infant commencing at 6 months (plus or minus 2 months of age) and ending at age 36 months.
- Multiple births can be included.
Pregnant women will be allowed to enroll irrespective of their gestational age, although they cannot enroll at delivery because they cannot undergo adequate consent. However, potential participants will be strongly encouraged to come to the clinic for prenatal care early in the second trimester (ideally <16 weeks gestation) both to ensure adequate prenatal care for the mother and unborn infant and to provide sufficient follow-up time to collect multiple antenatal study samples from the mother.
Inclusion criteria for American participants: Participants must be in good health, between the ages of 18 to 65, and have never been exposed to malaria.
Inclusion criteria for Kenyan control subjects: Participants must be in general good health and either have been exposed to malaria or be infected with malaria, but asymptomatic. Exposure will be determined by the presence of antibodies to malarial blood-stage antigens, eg, MSP1-42. Subjects must be aged 18 to 55 years, inclusive.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Preterm delivery less than 34 weeks gestation.
- Failure to deliver in the hospital.
- Evidence of placenta previa.
- Maternal chorioamnionitis.
- Receipt of immunosuppressive drugs during pregnancy.
- Hemoglobin less than 6.07 g/dL for females*.
- More One plus or greater glucose in urine.
- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months preceding enrollment in the study.
- Simultaneous participation in any other interventional clinical trial.
- Acute or chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal or neurological condition, or any other findings that in the opinion of the CO or PI may increase the risk of participating in the study.
Other conditions that in the opinion of the CO or PI would jeopardize the safety or rights of a participant in the trial or would render the participant unable to comply with the protocol.
- These values may change base on survey of adult normal laboratory test values in Msambweni. Values for children will be revised based on a survey of pediatric normal values in Msambweni.
Censoring events for the mother and newborn (and, by default, the infant's mother):
- Mother delivers elsewhere, migrates out of area, dies, spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.
- APGAR score for the infant of less than 5 at 10 minutes after birth.
- Muconium aspiration, respiratory distress syndrome, or condition to require neonatal resuscitation.
- Extremely low birth weight (less than 1500 grams).
- Refuse to continue to participate in the study.
Participants who move outside the study area during the course of the study will be dropped from further participation. However, data collected to that point may be included in analysis.
Exclusion of American and Kenyan control subjects:
No prior screening will be performed for the American control subjects, other than that they state they are healthy and have no acute or chronic medical problems. For the Kenyan adult control subjects, they will also be queried about their general overall perceived health and will have no known acute or chronic illnesses. A FSB sample will be obtained from the Kenyan control subjects and tested for anti-bodies to MSP142, a blood smear for malaria, and hemoglobin concentration by Hemacue test. If the hemoglobin concentration is <10 gm/dL, the subject will not be asked to donate blood and will be referred to the appropriate health care deliverers to receive appropriate treatment (oral iron supplements).

Said A Goueli1,2, Kevin Hsiao1, Marina Zdanovskaia1, and Jolanta Vidugiriene11Promega Corporation Madison, WI 2University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) comprise eleven different gene families of enzymes that are encoded by at least 21 different genes and accounting for at least 55 isoforms. They have been implicated in controlling specific cellular functions including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and inflammatory diseases and they play potential role as targets for treatment of cancer and some other diseases. Inhibition of PDEs was shown to induce chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) apoptosis and more evidence support targeting PDEs for treatments of several types of cancer. Thus, the development of novel isoform-specific inhibitors may be useful for the development of therapeutic agents against cancer. We have development a homogenous PDE-Glo™ Phosphodiesterase Assay for high-throughput screening (HTS) for novel inhibitors of PDE. The HTS formatted assays can be used to monitor the activity of cAMP-PDEs and cGMPPDEs and can be carried out in two simple steps in 96-, 384-, or 1536-well formatted plates. The Assay is luminescent and thus it encounters minimal interference from fluorescent compounds and the robustness of the assays are indicated by their remarkably high Z´ value (>0.8). In summary, the PDE-Glo luminescent assay can be used for screening libraries of compounds targeting in PDEs that might be developed into potential drugs for treatment of cancer and some other diseases.

Hunters fortunate enough to take a bull elk or buck deer during Utah's general hunts in October are encouraged to cover their animal while transporting it home.
"Please be mindful that the majority of Utah's population neither hunt nor fish," stressed Brent Stettler, a conservation outreach manager with the Division of Wildlife Resources. "They don't necessarily object to sport hunting, but could change their mind."
"Imagine how offensive it could be to be stuck in traffic behind a mud-splattered truck with a carcass hanging over the tailgate," continued Stettler.
The DWR is urging hunters to put harvested game under cover this hunting season. Not only does this help protect the meat from flies, dust and heat, but reduces the chance of offending non-hunters and provoking anti-hunters.
Some states even have a law forbidding the "gratuitous display of wildlife." In these states, hunters may be cited for transporting game in public view.
"A true sportsman should be satisfied with the hunting experience, without feeling the need to show off the animal that's been taken," Stettler concluded.
This hunting season, please be courteous toward the emotions of others while transporting harvested big game animals after the hunt.

The town of LeRay was a candidate sparring with the likes of Onondaga County when it submitted its Water District 4 project to be named the Environmental Project of the Year for the New York state chapter of the American Public Works Association.
The towns project beat the big boys, earning LeRay officials and staff from Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, a trip to the chapters award banquet April 11 in Geneva.
Supervisor Ronald C. Taylor was surprised that LeRay pulled off the feat with its water district project. But the $7.7 million project greatly improved the water quality for 520 households connected to the massive district comprised of 85,000 lineal feet of water mains. The three-year project was completed in the fall of 2012.
It connects all four of our water districts together, and we can now flow water back and forth to assure water is available any time something breaks down, he said.
There were significant drinking water concerns, so this has been good for the town and everyone in the district, engineer Kris D. Dimmick said. The area has enjoyed steady residential growth, and I would expect youre going to see that continue.
Peter G. Vars, awards chairman for the APWA state chapter, called the project the epitome of what public works is about.
LeRay took a situation where the public wasnt being served adequately with water, and used public works to provide them with a safe and healthy source of water. And they interconnected the districts to be sure there was a redundancy in the system, he said.
The village of Adams received the state chapters Environmental Project of the Year Award for rural communities with populations under 30,000 for restoring the G.L. Thomas & Sons Feed Mill and Laramie Tire site. The former feed mill and repair shop on North Main Street, demolished in 2008, is now used as parking for the village Fire Department. The village received a certificate of completion for its cleanup work from the state Department of Environmental Conservation in July.

Massachusetts General Hospital Critical Care Center staff members were recognized for their study on communication between providers and family members in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Critical Care Center staff win award for research in patient and family support
David Y. Hwang, MD (left), and Daniel Yagoda, MPH, with their award-winning presentation at the 2013 Society of Critical Care Medicine Annual Congress.
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital Critical Care Center was recognized at the 2013 Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Annual Congress for their work in patient and family support. The team, comprising physicians, nurses and administrators, led a study looking at communication between care providers and family members in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
"Family members interact with multiple care providers during their time in the ICU," explained Daniel Yagoda, MPH, senior manager of the Mass General Critical Care Center and one of the study's lead authors. "We learned that family members in ICUs are prone to receiving mixed messages from care teams—which is a new finding and one that will help us focus future improvement efforts."
The ICU Family Experience Study was conducted in two ICUs at Mass General: the Neurosciences ICU and the Medical ICU.
"This project is a wonderful example of the value created by working across ICUs," added Jonathan Rosand, MD, medical director of the Neurosciences ICU and co-author of the study. "Having a center like the Critical Care Center, which is specifically focused on ICUs, is truly unique to Mass General and a vital ingredient to our success."
The SCCM award for Best Abstract in Patient and Family Support recognizes Daniel Yagoda, MPH; David Y. Hwang, MD; Tara M. Tehan, RN, MBA; Mary Guanci, RN; Lillian V. Ananian, RN; Paul F. Currier, MD; J. Perren Cobb, MD; Jonathan Rosand, MD; and Hilary M. Perrey. The award was presented at the 25th annual convocation of the American College of Critical Care Medicine on January 21, 2013, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

35 Ideas for Natural Holiday Decor
Lantern light [1]
Surround lanterns with fresh greenery and pine cones for a classic, elegant centerpiece.
Deck the banister [4]
Natural birch branches form the backbone of this project (but you could use redtwig dogwood or other branches). For added drama, cut the branches longer so they're taller than your banister, or include more bunches. Use thin florist's wire to lash them to the banister posts along with evergreens (in this case, noble fir) and twigs of bright red winterberries. Matte and glossy chartreuse ornaments add another dimension. Tie it all back with a velvet chartreuse ribbon. Making a bow is optional.
Bright spot [7]
Bring a woodland scene inside. Gather bare branches from the garden, and arrange them in a narrow glass vase filled with artificial snow. More "snow" (cotton tufts) drifts on branches. Cardinals alight as if to gather the bright berries that we cut from faux sprays and wired on. Give the birds another landing spot with a nest on the sill.
Resources Glass vase, faux snow and faux berries Michaels Crafts Stores (800) 642-4235; michaels.com [8]
Easy fruit box [11]
Use a wooden box to serve as a centerpiece. Fill the base with dry floral foam, then tuck mixed evergreens throughout. Attach citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and limes, to floral picks, and tuck them into the greenery. For the clove patterns, use a pencil to draw spirals or other designs on an orange, then poke whole cloves into the skin at evenly spaced points.
Create a scene [14]
Make a charming winter scene inside a glass bowl using faux snow, spruce or fir spigs, and props such as artificial birds and a nest (from crafts stores), along with mini ornaments.
Easy-fill ornaments [17]
Nestle special "ingredients" inside ball ornaments for thoughtful, budget-friendly party favors or decorations. You can use wintry natural materials like we did, or let your imagination fly.
What you'll need
Plastic ball ornaments (We found ours at Hobby Lobby for $1.49 each.)
Artificial snow
Pine tree clippings
Place items inside one ornament half. (Leave them loose, or secure with a dot of hot glue.) Top with the other half, string with ribbon, and presto, you're done!
Firebox finery [20]
Wrap wide green ribbon in bands around a square vase, then fill with decorated winterberry branches. Simple red votives with white candles provide a glow at a safe distance.
Natural wreath [23]
Wood slices make a pretty, natural-looking and long-lasting wreath. Glue 20 wood slices to the front of a flat wooden wreath form, putting 10 on the first layer and 10 on the second, with the top layer arranged so the slices partially overlap the ones on the bottom. Glue burlap and wire-edged ribbon onto part of the wreath and cover with pinecones, artificial berries and greenery. Attach ribbon to hang.
Decor overhead [26]
If you have a hanging light fixture or chandelier, attach white-tipped pinecones with slender wire or fishing line for a wintery look.
Bountiful bowl [29]
Layer pinecones, rose hips, dried pomegranates, sweetgum pods and moss for this easy look.
Tip Use materials from your garden first, then accent with others shown here (available at crafts stores or through your local florist).
Bow ties [32]
Accordion-fold lengths of ¼- to 1-1/2-inch-wide ribbon, then tie tightly at the center with ribbon or floral wire. Snip along the folds with scissors, fan out and wire each to an evergreen wreath.
Dress up fruit [35]
An easy centerpiece starts with a bowl of fruit. Add tabletop flair to apples by inserting bronze brads (available at crafts stores) in a variety of patterns.
Vase and garland ideas [38]
Vases of Red: Carry a theme throughout your decor by using variations of similar materials. We filled clear glass vases of varying shapes and sizes with red flowers and berries, using only one type per vase: amaryllis, winterberry or tulips. The winterberry branches are strong enough to support a few small ornaments.
Fresh Garland: For an alternative to evergreens, make garlands from fresh bells of Ireland. Cut 1-inch sections of the stalks, which have green florets. The hollow stalks are the tubes through which you thread string or yarn. Fresh florets last about a day. When dry, push flowers together.
Flower "presents" [41]
These cute packages take time, but they're easy to make. Cut a block of floral foam into the size you wish. Cut the heads off chartreuse 'Kermit' button mums. Stick a pearl-headed pin through the center of each flower to secure it to the foam. Wrap red velvet ribbon around the finished package, or just add a bow on top. The flowers stay fresh for about three days.
Calming colors [44]
For the cool blue walls and white hutch, we used chartreuse and dropped traditional reds in favor of white, brown and soft purple. The tabletop holds a long hedge of hydrangeas, white amaryllis, purple statice, mixed evergreens, fresh pears and white-tipped pinecones, all tucked into moistened floral foam placed on a low tray. The hedge in the hutch uses statice with a line of hydrangeas and white-tipped pinecones at the base.
Place-setting ideas [47]
Wrap candles with fat velvet ribbon attached with pearl-headed pins; place them at each seat. See the previous slide for how this look fits into a nature-theme place setting, with white-tipped pinecones atop napkins and tiny crystal vases holding single sprigs of hydrangea.
Pineapple tower [50]
Why let your garden urns sit vacant all winter? Cut or buy a floral foam cone to stack on top of the urn. Slice the point off the cone to make a flat base where you'll attach the pineapple later. Building from the bottom up, attach evergreens by tucking the twig ends into the foam. Near the base, use floral picks to attach a row of oranges decorated with cloves. Halfway up the cone, attach pomegranates using floral picks. A row of orange halves runs three-quarters of the way up, with pinecones forming a base for a whole pineapple attached with floral picks.
The first 10 creations in this slideshow, including this tower, were a collaboration between Midwest Living and Botanicals Inc. [51] in Chicago.
Bedeck worn-out boots [54]
Have a pair of winter boots you don't wear? Dress them up with twigs, greens and ribbon for a welcoming display.
To protect boots, line with plastic bags. Add rocks in the foot to keep the boots from tipping. Insert twigs and small evergreen branches. Tie ribbon around each boot, tucking a sprig of evergreen in the bow.
Merry and bright kumquat wreath [57]
Wreaths with fresh fruit are an American colonial tradition.
Use a 12-inch metal ring for a base, 18 to 20 kumquats, several sprigs of medium-size broadleaf greens and 26-gauge wire to attach the fruit and leaves.
Fragrant decor [60]
For a fragrant chair-back decoration, bundle bay leaf, thyme, rosemary and marjoram with twine. Bouquets can be made several days in advance, then refrigerated. Once dry, use them for cooking!
Float a flower [63]
Create a fluid floral centerpiece with a 17-inch-wide glass bowl and flowers in floating glass tea-light holders.
Candy fun [66]
Add your own touch to an evergreen wreath by crafting pieces of "candy" from felt or other material you have at home. Tie with red twine or ribbon.
Ice shards [69]
Freeze cranberries with just enough water to cover them, then add pieces to your ice bucket.
Tower of apples [72]
Green apples are the perfect hue for an easy Christmas display. Fill a glass jar with apples; mix in loose greens for a wintry feel. Place container on a beveled edge mirror (that serves as a table runner). Fill in with additional greens, ball ornaments and candles of different sizes.
Cranberry glow [75]
For quick holiday color, surround a cranberry-color candle inside a glass cylinder with fresh cranberries. Add a few sparkly ornaments around the base, and you're done!
Touch of glass [78]
For easy elegance, showcase oversize pinecones, bird figurines and ornaments under cloches. A dusting of faux snow adds wintry sparkle.
Photo display [81]
Stems with just a few leaves or berries make natural holders for family photographs. Tie branches with twine and add evergreen tassels; insert photos in the branches, clipping them on if needed to hold in place.
Frame the scene [84]
Who says wreaths must be round? Cut floral foam to a size that will fit inside a window in a door or entryway. Completely cover the foam with preserved green hydrangea blooms. Decorate with sprigs of winterberries. A coordinating green ribbon helps hang it up.
Natural touches [87]
Wintry white tulips lend a soft touch to this natural holiday centerpiece. Fill varying sizes of glassware with fresh flowers, and arrange around metallic-sprayed pinecones and silvery ornaments.
Tie twigs [90]
A bundle of brown twigs makes a great hanging decoration to put on a door or above a mantel. To secure, wrap a wide rubber band around twig ends. Tuck one branch of greens, such as eucalyptus, inside the rubber band for color. Cover the rubber band with a ribbon.
Easy flower arrangement [93]
Create your own customized flower composition by covering coffee cans with wrapping paper and embellishing them with ribbon. Fill with inexpensive white carnations and baby's breath, plus evergreens cut from your yard.
Fruit fillers [96]
Place pillar candles, evergreen branches, pinecones and clementines on a beveled-edge mirror for a nature-inspired tabletop arrangement. Don't like orange? Bring in green pears or red apples for traditional holiday color.
Cranberry flower cylinders [99]
Start with cylinders of varying heights. Place red flowers, such as roses and amaryllises, and greenery in a metal flower frog. Attach the frog inside the cylinder using double-sided florist's tape. Cover the flowers with water, float cranberries on top and place a floating candle amid the berries. Change water daily. The piece should last up to seven days.
Pretty paperwhites [102]
Place paperwhites in a large compote or bowl. Cover the potting soil with mini ball ornaments in colors that coordinate with your holiday scheme.
Display your favorites [105]
Turn a shallow basket or tray into a fun arrangement for your dining or coffee table. We arranged rows of feathery moss, smooth stones, green apples and spiky pinecones, but use what's easily available to you: other fruits or vegetables, ornaments or bits of nature.

CANTON To the dismay of St. Lawrence County Clerk Mary Lou Rupp, legislators said Monday that they are counting on her department to rake in more money in 2014.
Its irresponsible of me to put it in there, she said of additional revenue included in the budget. Its irresponsible of you.
Last year, legislators told Mrs. Rupp to add staff to pump up the business the clerks office does with downstate auto dealers for a projected revenue of $1.7 million, a figure Mrs. Rupp said was inflated.
This year, the tentative budget projects the departments downstate registration revenue at $1.4 million.
While complimenting Mrs. Rupp on the contribution of her department to the financial well-being of the county, Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, gave her a challenge.
Im ready to ask for more revenue, Mr. Morrill said.
Annual increases are not always possible, Mrs. Rupp said.
This is not my budget, she said. Its yours.
Other revenue from the clerks office has dropped because of a down cycle in license renewals caused by the states switch from a five-year term to an eight-year cycle, Mrs. Rupp said. The down cycle is expected to continue in 2014. The state also has pushed for mail-in or online renewals, which cuts the county out of a share of the fees.
Other county clerks have caught on to what St. Lawrence County is doing in handling downstate registrations, and processing centers are springing up in the New York City metropolitan area, she said.
If the downstate registration revenue drops by $150,000 the amount Mrs. Rupp estimated last year more staff people would bring in to the county her office might stand to lose employees, Mr. Morrill said.
Sounds like we need one less person, he said.
Even though she hired a new employee this year, the department still has two fewer people than in previous years, Mrs. Rupp said. Reducing her staff eliminates any potential for growth, she said.
What I have in place is a reasonable budget, she said.
Mr. Morrill wanted to add $230,000 in projected revenue to Mrs. Rupps budget, but Legislator Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton, was successful in having legislators reduce the increase to $152,180, the same amount of new revenue budgeted for 2013.
Republicans sounded a note of caution.
I hate to overestimate revenues, said Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg. I have a hard time saying she can come up with more money than she says she can come up with.
Everyone respects the work of Mrs. Rupps department, but the county needs to make good on its promise in exchange for an increase in the sales tax to not only drop property taxes in 2014 by 14.2 percent but keep them within a 2 percent increase for the remainder of a five-year plan, said Legislator Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Helena.
Its absolutely no disrespect, he said. Its about the commitment we made across the county.
Legislators also cut small amounts of money in the range of $250 to $500 from several other departments, including the Board of Elections, Veterans Services and Youth Bureau as part of an overall $1.5 million budgetary reduction Mr. Morrill has suggested as a way of dealing with lost revenue if a state/tribal compact falls apart that is expected to give the county that amount of money next year.
County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire suggested instead taking any hit that might come from a $1 million capital reserve fund and $100,000 community reinvestment fund and finding the remainder of the money elsewhere.
Not budgeting doesnt mean we dont pay for it, she said. My concern is in order to balance you get people to be unrealistic about what they can do.
However, Mr. Morrill said the county has to be committed to shaving its costs, including cutting $3 million from this years budget, which sliced the increase in the property taxes from 21 percent to 14 percent.
I believe we have an obligation beyond year one of the five-year plan, he said. We are under a lot of scrutiny. I think to backtrack now is a mistake.

I fixed it there was a problem in my config file
hey guys I finally got gallery installed on ubuntu. but when I upoad a picture I don't see anything other then the frame and in the gallery directory I can see the pic(I dont have X so going by filename)
I fixed it there was a problem in my config file
I was wondering if anyone can access http://rule187.kicks-ass.net/gallery/ ??
another thing. when I remove the gallery from that URL I can see my apache a gallery folders along with other things. is there a way I can set it up so that only I can see it?
oh and im behind a linksys router but im sure I forewarded the right port to the compuer hosting gallery.
Nope...just says "Loading rule187.kicks-ass.net..." for a really long time. Doesn't go anywhere
I cant see it. It just sits there trying and trying. Nope.
WTF!! I don't know what to do. anyone have any advice??
Most likely its your router. Some routers do a shitty job a fwding ports. I had problems wiht my router. I am almost sure thats what's going on.
yeah thats what im suspecting too. I may have the wrong port forewarding but then again I don't know what port to foreward so I chose 80 haha
If you have webserver running at default port then its port 80. What you might want to try is trigger the router to give the server a different ip. Then forward the port to the new ip address. I believe thats what solved it. I called Netgear for hours and they knew squat and had a hard time understandig me. This is because they just bearly knew how to speak english.

Geometric dissection is the mathematical art of cutting figures into pieces that can be rearranged to form other figures, preferably using as few pieces as possible. You may already have come across puzzles such as the Aviary Tangram, the pieces of which can be used to form an egg, a chicken and many other shapes; but the ingenuity of the dissections shown here may still be a revelation to you, as they were to this reviewer.
The Four Colour Theorem - the statement that four colours suffice to fill in any map so that neighbouring countries are always coloured differently - has had a long and controversial history. It was first conjectured 150 years ago, and finally (and infamously) proved in 1976 with much of the work done by a computer. The published proof relied on checking 1432 special cases, which took more than 1,000 hours of computer time.
Many people, when they look back, can pinpoint the precise moment when their interest in mathematics was awakened - it was when they found a puzzle that intrigued them. Perhaps they now realise the puzzle was trivial or insignificant, but at the time something about it captured their imagination and started them on a path that may have led very far - perhaps even into fundamental mathematical research.
Many popular books about mathematics combine elements of exposition and personal commentary, but few combine these disparate elements to the same extent as this book.
Ballet and mathematics - not a combination that you often come across, but one that works beautifully in Frederick Ashton's 1948 ballet, Scénes de ballet. From the geometric patterns on the men's tunics and the perpendicular angle of the ballerina's tutu, to the movements and positioning of the dancers themselves, this ballet is a celebration of mathematics. Ashton was inspired by mathematics, and, according to the programme notes, used a system of Euclidean geometry to choreograph the piece.
Not many books about maths have chapters that start "The dead man seemed to stare at me in a most disconcerting way." But maybe more should - this book is a highly entertaining read, crossing sound mathematical exposition with the classic Sherlock Holmes style of investigation.

Drawing of the Three Dark Tower IIby Stephen King
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
After his confrontation with the man in black at the end of The Gunslinger, Roland awakes to find three doors on the beach of Mid-World's Western Sea — each leading to New York City but at three different moments in time. Through these doors, Roland must "draw" three figures crucial to his quest for the Dark Tower. In 1987, he finds Eddie Dean, The Prisoner, a heroin addict. In 1964, he meets Odetta Holmes, the Lady of Shadows, a young African-American heiress who lost her lower legs in a subway accident and gained a second personality that rages within her. And in 1977, he encounters Jack mort, Death, a pusher responsible for cruelties beyond imagining. Has Roland found new companions to form the ka-tet of his quest? Or has he unleashed something else entirely?
"With The Drawing of the Three...King says, 'I found my voice' (for this particular series). Did he ever. Roland visits our world...picking up three people who are fated to return to his world and help him in his quest....The pace in this one outstrips the first book several times over. Great stuff!" Dorman T. Shindler, The Denver Post
"Although these minor but revealing books (which King began while still in college) are full of...adolescent portentousness, this is livelier than the first....Typically, King is much better at the minutiae and sensations of a specific physical world, and several such bravura sequences...are standouts amid the characteristic headlong storytelling." Publishers Weekly
The End is Near. Start at the Beginning. ...and catch up on the complete Dark Tower saga ...before Stephen King brings it all to an end. November 2003: The fifth Dark Tower book hits bookstores, followed by books six and seven Now: The #1 Bestseller Book two in mass market
Stephen King returns to the Dark Tower in this second mesmerizing volume in his epic series. Roland of Gilead has mysteriously stepped through a doorway in time that takes him to 1980s America, where he joins forces with the defiant Eddie Dean and courageous Odetta Holmes. A savage struggle has begun in which underworldly evil and otherworldly enemies conspire to bring an end to Roland's desperate search for the Dark Tower. Masterfully weaving dark fantasy and icy realism, The Drawing of the Three compulsively propels readers toward the next chapter.
In 1978, Stephen King introduced the world to the last gunslinger, Roland of Gilead. Nothing has been the same since. More than twenty years later, the quest for the Dark Tower continues to take readers on a wildly epic ride. Through parallel worlds and across time, Roland must brave desolate wastelands and endless deserts, drifting into the unimaginable and the familiar. A classic tale of colossal scope—crossing over terrain from The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon, Insomnia, The Talisman, Black House, Hearts in Atlantis, Salems Lot, and other familiar King haunts—the adventure takes hold with the turn of each page.
And the tower awaits....
The Second Volume in the Epic Dark Tower Series
The Drawing of the Three
While pursuing his quest for the Dark Tower through a world that is a nightmarishly distorted mirror image of our own, Roland is drawn through a mysterious door that brings him into contemporary America.
Here he links forces with the defiant young Eddie Dean, and with the beautiful, brilliant, and brave Odetta Holmes, in a savage struggle against underworld evil and otherworldly enemies.
Once again, Stephen King has masterfully interwoven dark, evocative fantasy and icy realism.
About the Author
Stephen King, the world's bestselling novelist, was educated at the University of Maine at Orono. He lives with his wife, the novelist Tabitha King, and their children in Bangor, Maine.
