Fact Sheets
Former-Spouse SBP Coverage
Posted 8/27/2014
Printable Fact Sheet
This fact sheet provides information to help you understand the provisions of the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), but is not a contract document. The basic statutory provisions of the SBP law are in
Chapter 73, Title 10, United States Code
Former-Spouse SBP Coverage
An election for former-spouse coverage under the SBP was designed to give income protection to your former spouse. Coverage of a former spouse precludes coverage for a current spouse. This fact sheet presents key aspects of the SBP former-spouse option.
The Annuity
Benefits paid under this option are identical to those for spouse coverage (see
Spouse-only SBP Coverage
) except the annuity for a former spouse, whose divorce from the member was finalized before Nov. 30, 1989, is not reduced when the former spouse attains age 62 provided the member was already retired or retirement eligible on or before Oct. 1, 1985.
SBP Costs
Premiums for former-spouse coverage are calculated identically to premiums for spouse coverage (see
SBP Coverage Costs
). It is important to understand that in cases in which a former spouse is awarded a percentage of a military retiree's retired pay, and SBP coverage is elected for the former spouse (either voluntarily or involuntarily), the former spouse, in effect, pays a portion of the SBP premiums in an amount proportionate to the division of retired pay. This happens automatically because divisions of retired pay are based upon disposable retired pay, which has already been reduced because of the SBP premium.
An agreement between a member and a former spouse in which the former spouse must pay the entire cost of the member's participation in SBP is a matter between the member and the former spouse. There are no provisions in federal law which permit the Defense Finance and Accounting Service to withhold all SBP premiums from a former spouse's portion of a member's retired pay. If a former spouse is to bear the total cost of a member's SBP participation, the former spouse must reimburse the member by some other means.
Deemed Election by Former Spouse
Former-spouse coverage can be established without the member's active participation when the following conditions exist:
-- The member was required by a court order dated after Nov. 13, 1986 to provide former-spouse coverage, or the member agreed in writing to provide former-spouse coverage.
-- The member failed or refused to make a former-spouse SBP election. The member should know that he/she could be held in contempt of court in this situation.
-- The former spouse sent a DD Form 2656-10, Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)/Reserve Component (RC) SBP Request For Deemed Election, to DFAS (Defense Finance and Accounting Service, US Military Retirement Pay, PO Box 7130, London, KY 40742-7130) requesting that an election for former-spouse coverage be deemed to have been made. The former spouse's deemed election request must be received by DFAS within one year of the date of the court order or it cannot be honored. This is true even if the court order was issued more than a year before a member's retirement date, in which case the former spouse's request for a deemed election would be maintained on file at DFAS until the member retires. If an election for former-spouse coverage was agreed to or ordered by an earlier court order, a subsequent order or modification that merely restates the previous provision and imposes no new obligation on the member does not begin a new one-year period. A subsequent court order holding a member in contempt of court for failing to fulfill the prior agreement cannot be used to begin a new one-year period to deem an election. The deemed election must include:
-- The member's name, Social Security number, and whether the member is retired or on active duty.
-- The former spouse's SSN, date of birth, and mailing address.
-- A certified copy of the court order which required the member to elect to provide an annuity to the former spouse, or a copy of the member's written agreement to make such an election along with a statement from the clerk of the court or other appropriate official that the written agreement was filed with the court as the applicable state law requires.
Former Spouse Election by Retiring Member
A member, who has a former spouse, may elect to provide SBP coverage for a former spouse or a court order may require the member to elect to provide an annuity to the former spouse. If a member is married and elects SBP coverage for a former spouse, the member's current spouse must be notified of the election, but spouse concurrence is not required. If the member has more than one former spouse, he/she must specify which former spouse will be covered.
A DD Form 2656-1, Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) Election Statement For Former Spouse Coverage, signed by the member and the former spouse must be submitted with an election for former spouse coverage. The form sets forth:
-- Whether the election is being made pursuant to the requirements of a court order, or
-- Whether the election is being made pursuant to a written agreement entered into voluntarily by the member as a part of or incident to the proceedings of the divorce. The member and the former spouse must sign and date the statement, or
-- Whether the election is voluntary on the member's part (not part of a court-order or written agreement).
Changing Spouse Coverage to Former Spouse Coverage upon Divorce after Retirement
If you have spouse coverage and later divorce and wish to continue SBP for your now former spouse, you MUST convert your SBP election from spouse coverage to former-spouse coverage WITHIN one year of the date of the divorce. To convert your SBP election from spouse to former-spouse coverage you must submit a DD Form 2656-1, Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) Election Statement For Former Spouse Coverage, to DFAS (Defense Finance and Accounting Service, US Military Retirement Pay, PO Box 7130, London, KY 40742-7130) within the first year following divorce. Include a copy of your divorce decree and settlement agreement. Many members erroneously assume coverage will continue for the former spouse if they simply continue paying premiums for spouse coverage. Additionally, unless the retiree has spouse coverage, former-spouse coverage cannot be elected as part of a divorce settlement either voluntarily or by court order.
The benefit level for former-spouse coverage has to remain the same as for spouse coverage. The court may not dictate a level of coverage greater or lower than that elected before the divorce. The election must not be for a former spouse whom the member married after becoming eligible for retired pay unless the member was married to the former spouse for at least one year, or the former spouse is the parent of issue by that marriage.
Suspension/Reinstatement of Former Spouse Coverage and Cost
Former-spouse coverage and premiums are suspended if the former spouse remarries prior to age 55. This is because the former spouse is not eligible for the SBP annuity while remarried if the remarriage occurred prior to age 55. This does not terminate the member's obligation to cover the former spouse -- only the obligation to make payments while the former spouse is remarried. The member cannot stop former-spouse coverage nor can the member change the election to spouse and/or child coverage based solely on the former spouse's remarriage prior to age 55. To suspend coverage and premiums because of the former spouse's remarriage prior to age 55, the member must include a copy of the former spouse's marriage certificate with notification to DFAS. Former-spouse costs will be suspended on the first day of the month after the date the former spouse remarries.
If former-spouse coverage and premiums were suspended as a result of the former spouse's remarriage prior to age 55, and the remarriage terminates, former-spouse coverage is reinstated the day after the date of the termination of the remarriage, and costs for former-spouse coverage are reinstated effective the first day of the month after the date the former spouse's remarriage terminates. The member must provide DFAS a copy of the former spouse's divorce decree or the death certificate of the person to whom the former spouse was married.
If the member dies during the period the former-spouse coverage is suspended because of the former spouse's remarriage before age 55, the former spouse would be eligible for the annuity in the event the remarriage subsequently terminated.
A former spouse's remarriage at age 55 or older does not affect either former-spouse coverage or premiums as the former spouse remains eligible to receive the annuity immediately in the event of the member's death.
Termination of Former Spouse Coverage and Cost
Former-spouse coverage and premiums are terminated if the former spouse dies. The member must include a copy of the former spouse's death certificate with notification to DFAS and costs will be terminated on the first day of the month after the date of the former spouse's death.
A divorce decree which specifies that former-spouse coverage can be terminated if the former spouse remarries at any age is not enforceable. The SBP is a federal law (Title 10, U. S. Code, Chapter 73), not a state law. A state court can incorporate anything it or the parties desire into a divorce decree; however, federal law dictates the conditions of eligibility for SBP and does not allow termination of former-spouse coverage based solely on the former spouse's remarriage at any age.
Changing Former Spouse Coverage to Spouse, Child, or Spouse and Child Coverage
A member may request that former-spouse coverage be changed to cover a spouse, child, or spouse and child by submitting a signed letter of request with documentation (if required, see below). A request to change an election from former spouse to coverage for a new child(ren) must be received by DFAS within one year of acquiring the eligible child(ren) provided documentation requirements (below) are met. See
Child-Only SBP Coverage
for definition of eligible children. If the former spouse is still alive, a request to change an election from former-spouse to spouse coverage may be made at any time after the member remarries. The former-spouse coverage will be terminated when the spouse becomes an eligible beneficiary. See
Spouse-only SBP Coverage
for definition of eligible spouse. If the member remarries the former spouse, the former spouse immediately becomes an eligible spouse beneficiary. This applies whether or not the former-spouse coverage was court ordered, required by a written agreement, or voluntary. If court ordered, no amended/modified court order is required. The member's request must also include: a copy of the marriage certificate/license if requesting spouse coverage; a copy of the child(ren)'s birth certificate if requesting child coverage; and the new beneficiary(ies) name, Social Security number, and date of birth.
Documentation requirements necessary to change former spouse coverage to spouse, child, or spouse and child coverage:
-- If the original election was made pursuant to the requirements of a court order, a certified copy of a court order that amends/modifies all previous court orders relieving the retiree of a court-ordered former-spouse election must be furnished to DFAS to convert to spouse, child, or spouse and child coverage.
-- If the original election was made pursuant to a written agreement entered into voluntarily by the member as a part of or incident to the proceedings of the divorce, the former spouse must agree in writing to the change.
-- If the original election was voluntary on the member's part (not part of a court order or written agreement), the election can be changed to cover a new spouse, child, or spouse and child without submitting an amended court order or the former spouse's written agreement. The former spouse, however, will be informed of the change by DFAS.
Member's Responsibilities
It is a retired member's responsibility to notify DFAS (Defense Finance and Accounting Service, U.S. Military Retirement Pay, PO Box 7130, London, KY 40742-7130) when the status of a beneficiary changes. Notification, with supporting documentation, should be made immediately after the change occurs so the appropriate adjustment may be made to your retired pay account. Examples of documentation include: copy of death certificate when reporting death of former spouse; copy of divorce decree and property settlement (if applicable) when reporting a divorce of former spouse; copy of marriage certificate when reporting a remarriage of former spouse prior to age 55; etc.

Today, it's colder, and the wind is blowing at a good pace. The wind chill is supposed to be in the double digits below zero. But, this is the husband of our Senior Warden at one of the churches I serve. And although he is UCC and the UCC pastor is there, I will be their companion through it all. It is the least I can do.
And Joel looked out the window yesterday morning and said, God flocked our tree!
So much for gravity. And seriousness.
And this evening I will shift modes and prepare to baptize four young people --and there will be laughter and children running everywhere, and cake and then more cake! And the Body of Christ will increase, and there will be more souls to participate in the eternal priesthood.
Last Sunday, when it came time to share the bread and wine, one of the adults went outside to call in the children who were playing outside --and when the little hands were outstretched before me, the bright cheeks shining, the shoulders still bumping each others in gentle play before the altar, I had the overwhelming sense of a holy presence --a holy one among them, or perhaps holiness among them. "This is God's special food for you --to make you strong in the Spirit, the Body of Christ" I said to each of them... and inwardly I was rejoicing --here is our hope.
--in each and every generation, to the seventh generation.
--and the funeral and the baptisms meet in the words of St. Paul that are often ignored in the baptismal rite --we are buried with Christ in baptism... buried in that dark, hard, cold rock --and made alive in him through baptism. We are already the walking dead --and now, already living the eternal life, already living in the eighth day of creation --already living in the completed sacred circle --already.
At prayer this morning (Canticle: A Song of the Wilderness, Isaiah 35:1-7, 10)
The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, *
the desert shall rejoice and blossom;
It shall blossom abundantly, *
and rejoice with joy and singing.
They shall see the glory of the Lord, *
the majesty of our God.
Strengthen the weary hands, *
and make firm the feeble knees.
Say to the anxious, "Be strong, do not fear! *
Here is your God, coming with judgment to save you."
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, *
and the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
Then shall the lame leap like a deer, *
and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.
For waters shall break forth in the wilderness *
and streams in the desert;
The burning sand shall become a pool *
and the thirsty ground, springs of water.
The ransomed of God shall return with singing, *
with everlasting joy upon their heads.
Joy and gladness shall be theirs, *
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
That's all she wrote --off I go to stand by the gash in our mother earth, and witness the fulfillment of our baptism....

Just made this and can't stop eating the batter. I used honey instead of agave and only used 3/4 cup. I added some chopped dark chocolate. I can't wait til it's frozen but right now it's wonderful!
Love it! Thanks for sharing
My husband and I really enjoyed this. The children have yet to thoroughly enjoy a raw vegan ice cream dessert. I thought it was brilliant to put the coconut and cashews together since I have made either a cashew based ice cream or a coconut based ice cream. The way it turned out so creamy was fantastic also. Thanks for sharing. I was searching for a good ice cream using fresh young coconuts. Perfect!!!
Not being a nut fan and being a HUGE ice cream fan, I was skeptical to say the least - but this stuff won me over! I'm not saying it tastes exactly like ice cream - but for being a raw substitute I must say it was really delightful :) I am personally a fan of the chocolate version... may I suggest doing a double batch because it is tastey enough you'll want more, but it is a lot of work - so do it all at once! I discovered a new variation! Mocha - use strong coffee instead of the water and add the cocoa of the chocolate variation (or I use 4 squares of a Ghiradelli 100% Cacao bar). You can make it mocha chip by adding chopped chocolate (I use 72%). This version has won over ice cream eaters who don't have issues with dairy! It's just plain yummy!

Meet The The Dream Teens: Kiernan Shipka, Zendaya and Willow Smith for W Magazine
W Magazine's new cover taps on Hollywood's 'Dream Teens' by featuring: Zendaya,Willow Smith (the newest Chanel ambassadress), and Kiernan Shipka (Our fave of the Don Draper spawn). The editorial explores how each gal takes on high fashion along with their own individual style. The ladies were shot in couture looks by Givenchy, Chanel, Valentino, and Dior.
Zendaya on her first celeb crush:
"In the non-weirdest way possible, Johnny Depp! Leonardo DiCaprio! Idris Elba! I have talent crushes. My room used to be full of Michael Jackson posters. Now I have a poster from the musical The Band Wagon."
Kiernan on Sally Draper:
"Mad Men introduced me to the power of fashion. I realized that style could tell a story. In the last season, Sally wants to impress a boy, so she dresses up. In the scene, I had to smoke a cigarette—and I'm not a pro in the slightest. They used these herbal cigarettes, and during the first take, I smoked it backwards."
Willow's Fashion Hero:
"My mom. When she was on tour with Ozzfest, she was very raunchy. I loved watching her onstage. I think the first song that ever made an impression on me was my mom performing "Bleed All Over Me." I would sing it over and over."
Get a peek below at some of the couture looks below!

Alas, Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik Announce Collaborative Collection
Rihanna is the type of fashionista that can switch between a pair of fuzzy-fur slides or a fancy heel, and you'll covet both equally. Her chameleon-like choices is what has made her fashion so fun to track over the years. Now she takes both elements and successfully creates a denim-loving heel with Manolo Blahnik. With graphics inspired by her tattoos and glammed up sparkly sequins- we get both the grit and the sophistication that she so nicely captures in her personal style.
Her capsule collection will feature six styles, including an insane pair of over-the-knee boot that comes with a belt! Dropping on May 5th, prices for the collection will range from $767 for the sandals to $3,484 for the belted boot. As of now, the shoes will only be available in-stores at Manolo Blahnik in London, New York and Hong Kong.

Is It Only Me?......
After the unbelievable events of the past weekend Im still trying to get my head around the shock of Ramos departure and with all the 'news' reports of new signings etc etc flashing across my screen this morning .....Im dizzy with trying to fathom it all out....nor do I feel comfortable jumping on the Messiah bandwagon just yet either!!
Now I know what you are gonna say.....''FFS EY cant you just go with the flow?''.........well yeah I like Harry, Im well happy we got the 3 points as well....Im also convinced we wont get relegated. But then I was pretty sure of this before Saturdays events too.
Lets get one thing straight though...Im happy for all my compadres on here who wanted JR gone and we are all yids so onwards and upwards...no point in dwelling on the past. I do feel a bit sorry for Gus though as he was Spurs through and through no doubting that.
But heres the question (maybe its a bit too early to ask it as we should ask bask in the relief this fine monday morning eh?)...how far can Harry take us? Survival..yes, knocking on uefa's door?...Yes. Champions League......hmmm?
Also is anyone else feeling a little annoyed at having to write off the last 5 years as some kind of failed strategy? BMJ might have something to say about that. I hear that Harry is bringing in Kevin Bond as a coach...........now he wasnt exactly known for his classic football skills is our Kev.!......so I'll say it again.......is it me? Should I just wallow in the euphoria like everyone else today?
Replies using phrases such as 'miserable old b*stard or 'trust you to spoil the party' are not allowed!!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Essex I stand with you (even though you are a miserable ol'...er, nevermind, just kidding).
I think the eleation, the buzz is more based on a changed needing to made and that change actually being made. I've only wanted Comoli out...and there he goes (I hope the door knob hit him in the arse on his way out, they couldn't close it quick enough!). The rest of them? Well, Ramos might have come in thinking Berbatov, Keane, a couple more class midfielders and my CV's gonna be made...when that didn't happen, he quite possibly lost all feeling for the job ("I didn't sign up for this!"). now, I'm not implying that he did the crazy things he did tacticly and personnel change wis, that he did to lose us games...but I stand here still scratching my head trying to come up with other reasons for such dunder-headed moves. I believe he wanted to win, but was at a loss for how to do it with what he had been left with.
Now here's the difference, H. Redknapp's never been in the lap of luxury, so trying to get a bunch of square pegs to fit into a bunch of round holes is what he generally excels at. So I've got no worries there.
Here's where I part with you Essex. I think it's way too early to worry about whether he takes us to the promise land (CL). I think the Board got Levy's ear told him what the skinny was (what's being said in public and in private, and said "Sort it!" (or yer on yer bike son!). So, English speaking manager, fairly succesful, and preferrably currently employed (hence no Curbishley, who I think would have been a big mistake, ditto Big Sam)...besides, we like raiding other teams managers, just like other teams like raiding our players!
While there's been some whispers about how this change over went down, it's nothing like last years debacle, so at least they got that part right.
The best thing to come out of the change...so far...is the removal of the DoF position/role (a good thing I see on the horizon is the return of the prodigal son, J. Defoe (watch him lose his shooting boots when he gets back...kidding (actually hoping like hell that I'm wrong).
So, it's all good...sort of...I'm in a wait and see mode...I'm not expecting much, just us to be competitive when we take to the park...if we get beat by a screamer or a lucky deflection or a bad call penalty, so be it, that's football, so long as our lads bring their lunch pails to work and put in a solid shift I'm happy(actually happier...I hate losing at any time, but its worse when we play pants, then you can't even defend the performance when our visitors come to the board and tell us what they think of us.
Think you need to look at the great things Harry has done with clubs on a VERY limited budget!
Now he has a real budget to work with to get what he wants to push us up the table.
Wether he can do it or not we shall see wont we, but I think he has the know how to bring big things to Spurs.
Even if you are a miserable old git (and I am not saying you are you understand!) you are right to be cautious. We still have a long way to go and its not going to be easy.
No Bond was not a Hoddle but there again nor was Harry or indeed many of the great managers we have seen over the years for many teams (Wenger, Fergie etc) so what difference does that make? Its who Harry thinks he can work with and who will support him the way he wants that matters surely.
I was a Ramos/Comolli out shouter and I am happy they have gone, and I am happy that Harry has arrived, but its far too early to be spouting off about anything other than surviving this season.
So EY why not wallow a little bit for now as its been a while since we had a reason to and you can be miserable later if it all goes Pete Tong. Go on give us a smile...dare you!

Cheers Sfer.. your right about a few things. As soon as Id posted that bit about Bond I realised that Wenger, Fergie and indeed Harry were basically unkown journeymen during their careers so yeah it matters not how you were as a player (although Bond hasnt done too well as a manager either).
I'll also let you all in on a little secret....last night was the first time this season that I have been able to stomach watching MOTD! So yes I have allowed myself more than a little smile and sigh of relief at logging on here this morning.
I guess my main concerns (as Alfie points out) is that Harry has been a revalation at saving small clubs and truning them into good sides using limited resources and particular techniques.
This is a whole new challenge for him.....big club, big impatient support,...he will have money but also certain pressures he hasnt had to deal with before (not even at WHU).....ultimately it wont be enough to keep Spurs in the PL, we wont be happy with top 10 or even top 6 finishes for ever......Can Harry take us into the CL in a few years?.....theres my main worry this morning
But your right Sfer lets not dwell on that now......we had a mare of a season so far and its time to enjoy it for a change.
Now...lets deal with 'those people' up the road on Wednesday next! COYS
Totally with you.
I was at a lost why Levy saw fit to get rid of the whole structure until I read that 'arry was offered the job on Friday and one of his conditions was that Holy C went (or at least his 'role' of DoF was removed).
To me, sacking Wendy for a situation it appears he had no say in is a bit naff. Gus/Alvares ditto. Surely it should have been Holy C or Wendy who went - not necessarily both..?
'arry is one of those 'footballing' characters (is that enough though?). Maybe this is his stage and he will finish what BMJ started - but I don't see that his history points to that. But now he's in charge, he has to be given a fair crack of the whip - and and he's already said himself - he will be the one totally responsible for the buying/selling and team - so the buck stops there (assuming Dan the Man makes the money available).
I'm still at a loss as to how Levy has come out of this - given that the whole debacle going back years is down to his and the board's decisions.
Good luck to 'arry. All the best to Wendy, Gus and Alvares and in a way to Comolli (given again that it wasn't his fault that THFC elected to have a DoF and recruited him).

watcha EY.
Harry was always good at getting the best out of a bad bunch and now he has a completely different challenge.
I also associated Harry with buying older players and i'd hate buying "just past their best players" you'd be right in thinking we could go back 5 years. Harry has also been dealing and managing small clubs such as West Ham ;) and Portsmouth. So a completely different challenge indeed and although its a little worrying, i still feel a little easier that we've reverted back to the old style of management and none of this continental style bollox and and ENGLISH speaking manager
I believe that its in him to take us top 6 team. I suppose review it then. Not this season of course but certainly next.
Do the big four have this old style ?

"Valentines Challenge: First Kiss" by Marohi
Categories: Original Stories, Anime & Manga, Books, Cartoons & Comics, Gaming, Movies & TV, Real Person
Characters: None
Description: Nearly everyone remembers their first kiss. It's one of the most awkward, frightening, and memorable moments of life.
The Goal: Your mission is to write a story of at least 1000 words that involves someone experiencing their first kiss.
The Catch: The catch is that the couple cannot be "perfect." The guy cannot be everything the girl is looking for and visa versa. (That goes for same-sex couples too.) It has to be awkward and maybe a bit frightening. The goal here is realism.
Pairing: Any
Rating: No higher than 13+
Bonus points if you can include any of the following:
- Bumping noses accidently while trying to kiss
- Calling and hanging up before the target can answer their phone
- A character ending up covered in glitter and not enjoying it.
- Spicy snack food (hotter the better)
- Nothing happening! (Too scared to kiss.)

About the Book
Robert Plant by Paul Rees is the definitive biography of Led Zeppelin's legendary frontman. As lead singer for one of the biggest and most influential rock bands of all time—whose song "Stairway to Heaven" has been played more times on American radio than any other track—Robert Plant defined what it means to be a rock god.
Over the course of his twenty-year career, British music journalist and editor Paul Rees has interviewed such greats as Sir Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Bono, and AC/DC. Rees now offers a full portrait of Robert Plant for the first time, exploring the forces that shaped him, the ravaging highs and lows of the Zeppelin years—including his relationship with Jimmy Page and John Bonham—and his life as a solo artist today.
Illustrated with more than two dozen photographs, Robert Plant: A LIfe is the never-before-told story of a gifted, complicated music icon who changed the face of rock 'n' roll.
Robert Plant is a living legend. The front man of Led Zeppelin, one of the biggest and most influential rock bands of all time, Plant defined the very notion of what it means to be a rock god.
The sheer scale of Led Zeppelin's success is extraordinary. In the United States alone they have sold seventy million records—a figure surpassed only by the Beatles—while "Stairway to Heaven," the band's most famous song, has been played more times on American radio than any other track and is frequently referred to as one of the greatest rock 'n' roll songs ever.
But Robert Plant's legacy stretches far beyond Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant: A Life is the story of the forces that shaped Plant: from his boyhood in England's Black Country to the ravaging highs and lows of the Zeppelin years; from his relationship with Jimmy Page and John Bonham to the solo career that today, at the age of sixty-two, has him producing some of the most acclaimed work of his career. Author Paul Rees, former editor of Q and Kerrang!, who has in the past interviewed Plant at length, paints a rich, complicated portrait of a man who was only nineteen when he changed the face of rock 'n' roll.
Told with tenacity, emotion, and the spark of brilliance that befits such an enigmatic front man, Robert Plant: A Life is the definitive story of a musical icon.

Keeping Huelva Hospital Complex Healthy Success Brief
Huelva Hospital Complex identifies time- and space-saving benefits of Intel® Core™ i5 processor-powered tablets for clinicians
Located in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, just to the west of Seville, Huelva is a city of around 150,000 inhabitants. The hospital complex of Huelva is made up of the Juan Ramón Jiménez, Vázquez Díaz, and Princess Elena hospitals and the Virgen de la Cinta Specialist Center. The complex accommodates up to 700 patients.
The organization was interested in the benefits mobility could bring to its staff. Many employees, such as nurses, are often on the move and need access to clinical information when they're away from their desks. At the same time, the organization needed to reduce the space taken up by large computing equipment, like desktop PCs, in small consultancy rooms.
Besides mobility, performance was another important requirement. The senior management team needs to check the organization's status on reporting dashboards, so devices that can support complex calculations and graphics are essential.

YORK — A head-on collision on Long Sands Road on March 18 sent both York drivers to the hospital according to an update from the York Police Department.
A Ford Focus driven by Joanne Clough, 82, 31 Lobster Cove Road, was heading east when it drifted into the oncoming lane striking head-on a Subaru Tribeca driven by Joann Noel, 66, 10 Chestnut Lane, York, which was headed toward York Street, according to the report filed by Officer Matt Calcina.
Clough was transported to York Hospital and then transferred to another facility, according to York Hospital spokesman Dawn Fernald, who had no information on where she was taken.
Noel was treated at York Hospital and released, Fernald said.
The accident occurred around 9:57 a.m. in the area of Avon Avenue. Police shut down that section of Long Sands Road for about half an hour as ambulances transported the drivers.
Both vehicles showed heavy front-end damage and were towed from the scene, according to the report.
Police gave no reason for the collision. No charges were filed other than a citation issued to Clough for failure to keep in the proper lane, according to the report.
There were no passengers in either vehicle. Both drivers were wearing seat belts and the airbags in both vehicles deployed.

Everyone knows that college tuition is expensive, but how many of you have actually looked at prices and let it sink in? How many of you have actually realized the severity of these prices?
When you really look at it, you will realize the sad truth. You, or your kids, will most likely struggle to afford college. Maybe they will even struggle so much that they can't even go.
Government is pushing everyone to go to college so much, but no one can afford it.
Take my family and me for example. I am a straight-A senior in high school. I'm always on the honor roll, I'm in National Honor Society. I have a part-time job, have never gotten in trouble and have high goals in life. My plan was to start college in the fall at a college I found and loved, but I can't go. Why?
Despite the scholarship I received and a small amount of financial aid, my family and I can't afford it.
My parents are both hardworking with good jobs. However, federal student aid doesn't take into consideration the debt your parents are in. And they just assume your parents will help pay.
Of course my parents want to help me, but they have many bills and loans, so they can't provide as much help as I need.
Now I'm waiting until spring, working hard to save money and going to a cheaper college that I can, hopefully, afford. Not every teen will get help from their parents, and not every parent, even with a good job, can help to put their child through college.
If the government wants everyone to go to college so much, maybe it needs to do something about the price to attend. We're not all debt-free, bill-free, rich citizens who can pay out of pocket for high-priced colleges.

The concern about changes about the agriculture program and classes planned for Shelby County and Collins High Schools next year brought a large group to last week's school board meeting and a detailed My Word piece from two SCHS students that ran in Wednesday's Sentinel-News.
Last week, as I was considering what to write in this week's column, I thought perhaps I should write about the merits of KY Senate Bill 142, which encourages Bible literacy classes in our public schools.
Then I opened last Saturday's Courier Journal and saw its predictable editorial denouncing the Senate's passage of the bill and lamenting the fact that it would likely also pass in the House.

In every society, on nearly every issue, there are going to be skeptics. There will be critics, cynics and people who just want something to oppose. That's just how the world works.
However, just because you oppose something, you disagree with an issue, or you don't like the people talking about it, that is no reason to deny there's a problem to begin with.

Welcome. I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Temple University. Prior to starting at Temple, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the International Security Program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University in November 2011.
My research and teaching interests include international relations, democracy promotion, non-state actors in world politics, gender and human rights policy, and Middle East politics. My recent book, The Taming of Democracy Assistance: Why Democracy Promotion Does Not Confront Dictators (Cambridge University Press), explores how and why the United States and other developed countries turned to democracy promotion at the end of the Cold War and what the impact of doing so has been. The book combines large-N analysis of new and existing data sets of democracy assistance projects with case studies that draw on field research in Jordan and Tunisia. My other research has been published in the journals International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, Comparative Political Studies, and The Review of International Organizations and has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, among others. Some of my ongoing projects examine the effects of democracy promotion on individual citizens and women's representation in the Arab world.

The northern range of Artibeus jamaicensis extends into central Mexico and continues south throughout Central America, and into northern South America. In South America, A. jamaicensis lives west of the Andes, in northern Venezuela, northwest Columbia, and western Ecuador. Resident populations have been reported in the lower Florida Keys. The distribution of A. jamaicensis in the Caribbean is continuous throughout and encompasses the Bahamas, Greater and Lesser Antilles, as well as the Netherlands Antilles, and Trinidad and Tobago. The range of A. jamaicensis once was thought to extend south to Amazonian Brazil, Paraguay and Northern Argentina, but mammalogists have recently recognized those populations as separate species, Artibeus obscurus and Artibeus jamaicensis planirostris.

Since the mid-1900s, plasma cutting has become a very popular and effective style cutting. Plasma cutting is effective because it results in a cleaner and faster cutting process. The Plasma system's power supply comes from converting AC voltage into a more constant DC voltage. The DC voltage keeps the plasma arc throughout the cutting process. The spark produced inside the plasma torch that makes the plasma arc comes from the "Arc Starting Console." This Arc Starting Console creates the AC voltage to produce the spark. The cooling of the consumables and proper alignment comes from the plasma torch. The plasma torch gives you the precise cut needed for the job.
Plasma Cutting can be performed on stainless steel, mild steel or aluminum. Plasma cutting skips the oxidation process, thus allowing an easy cut through conductive materials. Plasma cutting is convenient because it does not require compressed oxygen and fuel gas. Plasma cutting is great for the weekend warriors as it is a faster and efficient cutting process.
Plasma Cutting can be used to cut steel, preferably thin material. It can be used with heavy or regular industrial applications. Many plasma cutters are used on construction sites and with small parts fabrication.
Welding Supplies from IOC carries wide variety of brand-name plasma cutters. Choose from Miller, Lincoln and Thermal Dynamics to find a plasma cutter to fit your cutting job. With Welding Supplies from IOC's wide selection of plasma cutters, you will find only the very best, highest-quality plasma cutter to give you the most precise cut every time.

I run out of guards before 10 minutes or 25 kills, any advice?
just get a low-level guard and hold down lbock fro 10 minutes
Winner of the 2008 "Most Improved Poster" and "Poster most likely to be modded next" awards
i'm not sure if it's outside acre but i think so, but yeah go to that camp, run around get a whole bunch of them together and just kill them all....there's also a whole bunch of king richard flags there
back yourself into a corner and tie a rubberband around the RT button for 10 minutes, just make sure they don't decide to grab you and throw you to the ground because they will surround you again
When u hit mem block six and go to the place after robert you will unlock these achievments very easily, just ride your horse through the encampments and let the gaurds chase u and counter kill the lot of em
The 10 minute achievement is incredibly easy, although boring. All I did was get to a fairly secluded area that had some wooden scaffolding (or pretty much anything that you can climb and the enemies can climb as well, but it can't be to high, as long as you can throw a guard off of it and they live, you are ok). I got one guard after me and I then climbed up the wooden scaffolding and the guard followed me up. As soon as the guard climbs up, you grab him and throw him off, they will get back up and climb up after you again and you repeat this till 10 minutes is up.
Essentially, the "rubberband the r trigger for 10 minutes" will almost always work, no matter who you are facing, as long as you back yourself to a wall. Also, be quick on on grab breaks if you are facing tougher guards.
Also, using your vigilantes to hold your attackers as you parry up and wander around through the little chaos that is present, is a proven style.
No matter which technique you use, having "complete symbiosis" or a full health bar will help a lot, you will mostly likely take a few hits no matter what, but you will most likely regain the bars quickly. This shouldn't end up be a big problem no matter what though.

Tourist area is within walking distance of the port. I purchased the shuttle ticket but the bus ride was only five minutes.
Las Ramblas is a busy tourist street lined with shops and restaurants. It will also lead you to the Gothic Quarter where you will hear some of the best street musicians you have ever heard.
The Colon Monument at the beginning of Las Ramblas has an elevator inside that will take you to the top for a fee (credit cards accepted). The elevator is small (3-4 people max) and the space at the top is limited. I would think that at most 10 people can be up there at once.
Seafood is the most common food. Be prepared for some unusual choices such as octopus. If, like me, you prefer chicken, you'll have a hard time finding it in a paella. I found it in only one spot - an Irish pub!
Main Street is about a 10-15 minute walk from the dock. There is lots of shopping and restaurants in this area.
You can walk to Moorish Castle by going up the Castle Steps. You will need to purchase a ticket to the Nature Reserve (I believe it is 10 pounds) if you wish to see the castle, the great siege tunnels or the apes.
If you only want to see the WW2 tunnels, you can purchase a 0.50 pound walker's ticket. The tunnels are only a few metres further up the hill. This tour is run independently and you will have to purchase a ticket at the entrance. The view from Jock's Balcony is worth it!
If you want to skip Main Street and go right to the cable car I suggest you take a taxi.
There is a shuttle bus service directly outside the pier (2.50 euros) or a water taxi (2.60 euros) if the ship is docked on the opposite side of the old town. If the ship is docked on the same side as the old town, you will be right in the heart of the city when you disembark. It is possible to walk from the opposite side and it will take about 20 minutes or so.
Be sure to check out D'Alt Vista for amazing views of the ship.
Restaurants are plentiful but most don't open until 11:30 am or later.
The old town has lots of touristy type shops.
You will need a shuttle service or some other type of transportation to get to the tourist spots. I recommend the Hop on Hop off buses since they take you to many of the popular stops.
St. George Castle is a beautiful spot with amazing views. Well worth the 7.50 euro ticket cost.
The Hop on Hop Off bus stops right next to the port. It takes you to Beliver Castle - a must see while you are here.
The main tourist area is within easy walking distance of the port. Lots of great restaurants and cafes, bakery shops and tourist souvenir shops.
We were told to leave our valuables on board and take care to keep an eye on your wallet while in port. We didn't have any issues, but we did notice that the police/security were very visible in the touristy areas, presumably to warn off any pick pockets.
Spanish is the main language and while there are some who speak a little English, don't be surprised to find many places where English isn't understood. We found a beautiful little pastry shop where the elderly lady behind the counter didn't understand any English. We managed to order by pointing at what we wanted, us speaking English, she responding in Spanish. My husband ordered some sort of cake and the woman looked at him and said "No, no, no," and a whole bunch more in Spanish as she pointed to a different cake. She obviously was telling him that his choice wasn't as fresh as what she was pointing out. He went with her choice and was very pleased. We sat near a fountain outside her store and ate our goodies. She was watching us eat and my husband in his limited English looked inside and told her it was wonderful. She was obviously very pleased. All in all it was a great experience.

Nissan Hopes to Make Impression at 'V8 Supercar' Race in Texas
Nissan Motor Co. hopes to connect with racing fans (and car shoppers) in the U.S. when it competes in the inaugural Austin 400 next weekend as part of the V8 Supercar Series. The race at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, will mark the Australia-based series' first event in the U.S.
The Supercar series is similar to Nascar stock-car racing in the states, with teams fielding modified cars from a number of brands that look similar to models available to consumers in dealer showrooms. Fans are attracted in part by the familiarity of the cars.
One big difference is that the cars compete on twisting road courses used by Formula One racers and sports-car prototypes instead of oval tracks like those preferred by manyfans in the U.S.
Nissan said the U.S. is considered the Altima's home turf since the production version of the midsize sedan is popular here. The company builds Altimas at its plant in Smyrna, near Nashville, Tenn., and sold more than 300,000 of them in the U.S. last year.
Entering the Altima in the racing series was also part of Nissan's plan to promote it before it goes on sale in Australia for the first time in the fourth quarter of this year.
The four-car Nissan Motorsport team has shown encouraging signs in the past two events, with the team taking seven top 10 results at Pukekohe, New Zealand, and Barbagallo Raceway in Perth. The Austin consists of four 100-kilometer races, each including a required pit stop. Racers quality on Friday, May 17, and race on Saturday and Sunday.

All Day IPAFounders Brewing Co. Grand Rapids, MI • Six-pack
• foundersbrewing.com
All Day IPA is the next addition to Founders Brewing Co.'s year-round lineup. This new brew is available in Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, and the greater Chicago this month. Limited distribution is due to the soft hop harvest, the brewery says. All Day IPA is a session ale that has the traditional qualities of an India Pale Ale with lower alcohol—4.7 percent ABV. In development for nearly three years the All Day IPA recipe won the silver medal at the 2010 Great American Beer Festival. The last beer that Founders added to its year-round six-pack and draft lineup was Red's Rye PA in 2006.

One for All: Terminal Server X2go 3.0
The new version of the X2go terminal server, code-named Uthörn, is particularly Debian 5.0-compliant. Print requests result in files compressed to about 10% before being sent to the client, and the terminal server now supports a third sound architecture through PulseAudio.
X2go revitalizes the old mainframe concept of applications that run on servers and not directly on the user system, known as server-based computing. The attached clients only input data and take care of desktop display, so that older PCs and thin clients can participate in this type of computing.
In the case X2go complete Linux desktop environments run on the server. A special X2go client opens the window to the environment on the attached workstation, currently available in numerous platforms, including Windows, MAC OS X, Nokia N800 and, of course, Linux.
To use the least possible bandwidth, the X2go server compresses all data before shipping it to the client. Analogous to virtualization software such as VirtualBox, you can freeze and resume sessions. Encryption and various authentication mechanisms take care of security. Sessions can be shared with CBT and other remote learning. X2go handles audio output through the Arts and ESD services, and now through PulseAudio. It also works along with other servers, whereby a built-in load balancer handles the traffic.
The necessary packages for X2go installation are in the project repository. The packages are currently optimized for Debian Lenny, but are also available for Ubuntu 9.04. Developers soon want to enhance the software by providing a virtual machine over which you can try X2go bindings.

Scientists are evaluating driving routes the rover Curiosity may take on its way to a Martian mountain.
The NASA rover landed in Gale Crater near the Martian equator a week ago after an eight-month space flight. Its ultimate destination is Mount Sharp, which rises from the center of the crater.
Since landing, the car-size rover has been undergoing an extensive check of its systems and instruments. Officials said Tuesday that Curiosity has successfully completed an upgrade to its computers.
Engineers plan to have Curiosity move its wheels and take a short test drive in several days, but it will take a month to complete all checkups before the six-wheel rover can begin real driving.
Scientists estimate it'll take about a year to get to the lower slopes of the mountain.

X-PATH 2 : The Forge of F.U. (Completed 15 April 2005)
1 : The Boys Are Back In Town
The 70-storey headquarters of GPE International loomed over the Las Vegas skyline. Though topped with neon lights over twenty feet high, the building itself was like a black monolith. Every surface was constructed of one-way glass, dark and featureless.
Johnson's office was on the 67th floor. Above him were only power systems, computers, satellite relays, and the massive GPE sign. More than seven hundred feet below him were the General's chambers: the place that GPE Employees only half-jokingly called 'The Crypt'.
He stared at the five people in his office and silently wished he could crunch down a couple of painkillers. God, he hated dealing with 'talent'.
"Why were we summoned, Mr Johnson?" The Mormon, Smith, asked. He wore a powder-blue suit with a white carnation. "I had to depart my wedding reception in order to attend this meeting." He raised his hand, showing the five rings that gleamed on his finger.
"The General's decided to give you five another chance." Johnson announced. "Sales of the laser disc of your last mission are still strong, four months after release. Despite your earlier ... misdemeanours ... it makes economic sense to give you another assignment."
"The King smiles on our endeavours." The one named Floyd agreed, through a mouthful of bacon double-cheeseburger. Smears of grease made multi-coloured smears on his rhinestone bodysuit.
The boy in the Elektra Lives Again t-shirt scratched himself through his jeans, then wiped his nose with the back of his hand.
"An assignment? Now? I'd love to go, only I've got this flu coming on. I wouldn't want to infect anyone -"
"Participation is not optional." Johnson folded his hands and glared at all five of them. "You're all one step from being thrown out of the company. Failure to follow instructions in this instance will lead to your termination."
"So like, if we do this -" the mini-skirted blonde snapped her gum, "we'll be on, like, TV and stuff?"
"Yes." Johnson resisted the urge to bang his head on the desk, "You'll be on TV. And on magazine covers, lunch boxes, comic books, all the usual merchandise."
Fabio flexed his muscles.
"What all is the job?" Floyd belched and took a long slurp of Cherry Cola.
"We've found directions to a previously unknown complex. The specifics are a little vague, but it's situated within a mountain named Khundrukar. Since we don't have the exact co-ordinates, we'll gate you in at the nearest town: a place called Brindinsford. From there, you'll have to make your own way to the complex, find your way in, and find out if there's anything worth filming in there. If there is, you can consider yourself in a fully-sanctioned match. Usual bonus rates will apply for any creatures killed in the match area - anywhere in the complex."
"What about the villagers?" the blonde crossed her legs with complete disregard for the shortness of her skirt.
"They aren't in a game zone. You won't be paid for killing them."
"But we can if we want to?"
Johnson sighed,
"Try to remember that until you locate the complex and we get a gate fix on it, you will have to rely on the locals for supplies."
"When do we depart?" Smith asked.
"Tomorrow morning at nine." Johnson tossed five plastic tags onto the desk, "Gate Room 49. Don't be late."
* * *
"They're going?"
"Yes, sir." Johnson resisted the urge to shift nervously under the old man's gaze.
"Then we're all set."
"Yes, sir."
"Don't take that route with me, Johnson. Unlike those youngsters, I can tell when I'm bein' lied to. You don't think them boys can do it?"
"I'm sure they can handle the complex, sir. It's just ..."
"Spit it out, son!"
"Well ... they're not very bright, sir."
"Don't take 'em too lightly, Johnson." The General hacked out a dry laugh, "They got a low cunning, these boys. Kinda like the Reds. They'll do what we need 'em too, or my name ain't George S. Patton."
* * *
"Like, what's the matter now?" Beverley Hills-Hilton flounced to a stop in a whirl of expensive perfume and microscopic clothing.
"Simon's stopped again." Floyd sat down on the narrow mountain track, resting his back against the stone cliff-face. He pulled a jar of peanut butter out of his vest and dug two fingers inside. Thrusting them into his mouth, he talked through the sticky brown sandwich spread, "Smith's talkin' to him."
"The skanky old bigamist?" Bev wrinkled her nose, "Like anyone'd listen to him." Somehow sure-footed in her six-inch heels, she walked back toward the arguing pair.
"This is the third time you've stopped since we started up the mountain, Mr Ninja." Smith leaned over Simon. The boy had changed into a Public Enemy t-shirt.
"Homes, I keep tellin' you Ninja ain't my name, it's my title." Simon made strange signs with his hands, then - as if realising they were wrong - changed them. "Just call me "Super-Ninja."
"What's the problem?" Bev snapped her gum.
"It's my asthma." Simon brandished an inhaler like it was a weapon, "This mountain's steep, homes. I gotta stop and rest."
"Yeah? This oughta perk you up." Bev yanked up her shirt.
Simon goggled.
Immediately, she grabbed the inhaler and threw it off the mountain.
"Woah! What are you doing? I could die without that!"
"You could die if we threw your pimply little butt after it, too." Bev gave him her brightest smile, "Couldn't we, Bigamy-Boy?" She turned toward Smith, and sighed. "Oh for god's sake, take your hands away from your eyes. I've got my goodies covered again."
"You are a sinful woman." The Mormon told her severely.
"Right, like you never saw a pair, Mr Four-Wives-Wasn't-Enough. Who do you think you are, Derek Flint?" Bev turned her attention back to Simon, "Look, if we get to the top of the path without you stopping again, I'll give you another look at my rack. Deal?"
Lust warred briefly with laziness. In a 16-year old boy, there could be only one result.

Now, THAT was a good beginning. Nice and firm. Supple even.
Way to start the storyhour!
We should've brought more grenades.... Trigger Control - the new Mycab Sector storyhour.
Men love danger. That's why we play with firecrackers when we're young, and do tequila shots when we're older.

Not really. Cap drew some inspiritation from the setting, but the various stats and feats for guns are more or less homebrewed or improvised at the gametable. Cap's without regular internet access at the moment, so he's not really available to repost them here, but I'm fairly sure they were attached as a download to the old thread.Originally Posted by Seule
I do know that you're not allowed to play Wizards (Too wimpy) or druids (lousy tree-lover hippies), but everything else is fair game. A lot of the gun feats are analogues of existing feats in d20, but are only usuable with guns. frex, the "Hong Kong Style" feat favored by Simon is basically two weapon fighting, but only usuable with light pistols.
Both of Floyds domains are homebrewed, as are the next couple of feats he'll be taking when Capellan returns from Boston and runs this again ('Cuase every cleric needs a fat elvis feat chain...)
The setting is fairly mired in an alternate version of the 80s.

Although the number of cases reported this year are is down dramatically from a year ago, the Mesa County Health Department is reminding people that we are still in the most active time for mosquitoes that carry the West Nile Virus. The health department has learned that a mosquito pool and a horse have both tested positive for West Nile Virus in Mesa County.
The positive mosquito pool was collected on August third in Grand Junction in an area near Rosevale Road. The horse that tested positive was discovered two days before near Mack. There have only been three human cases of West Nile detected this year in Mesa County.
At this time last year there were 78 human cases.
The health department reminds people to use the regular precautions when outside to protect yourself against West Nile Virus.

Your Game: Hey Goalies, Get a Grip
by Matt DaSilva | Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff
Goalkeepers are an intense breed. They stand their ground and
get pelted by dense, rubber-coated bullets coming off
opponents' sticks at speeds that -- in the case of Rob
Scherr, a two-time Major League Lacrosse all-star goalie --
sometimes surpass 100 mph.
That's why some are prone to "white knuckles," as Scherr says, when they grip their sticks.
Scherr's easy-come, easy-go demeanor contrasts that of teeth-gritting goalies. A former All-American keeper for Johns Hopkins who has spent six seasons in the MLL -- most recently with the Toronto Nationals -- Scherr disarms us daily with corny and self-effacing humor as the sponsorship manager for US Lacrosse.
Naturally for a tutorial on upper-body mechanics -- how goalies should position their hands and grip their stick -- we turn to one of our own.
1. Keep your top hand high.
"A lot of goalies play with their hands down in their chest," Scherr says. "You actually want to have your top hand somewhere in between your top lip and your eyes."
Keeping your top hand high not only limits the amount of net a shooter sees, but also limits the amount of time it takes for you to get to those high heaters.
So don't slouch, kid.
2. Keep your top hand in front of your face.
"I extend my arms out all the way, then break my elbows slightly," Scherr says. "I want to be able to see my entire top hand in my periphery when I'm tracking the ball.
"A lot of goalies keep their top hand next to their ear
and have a tough time getting to off-side shots. It takes too much
time and they get burned."
Extending your top hand also allows you to rein in a shot with more cushioning to avoid rebounds or trickles.
3. Keep your stick positioned in the middle of your body at a slight angle.
Not off to the side, down by your knees or straight up-and-down. Especially on feeds from behind or when trying to see around a screen, some goalies compromise their stick position by dropping it or holding it away from their bodies. Avoid such habits.
How you flex your top wrist and hold your stick are key factors for goalkeepers.
Let loose the stick for a moment. Take your top wrist and flex it backward, palm out. Now rest the stick in your palm between your thumb and index finger.
That's your grip.
Gripping your stick this way allows you to turn your stick on a 360-degree plane with no limitations.
Goalies who grip their stick with "white knuckles" and turn their top wrist inside tend to lock their elbow at 90 degrees to accommodate the grip.
"That's what we call a chicken wing," Scherr says. "If I have my wrist locked out like that, it's really tough to get underneath. I'm hurting myself."

Prolonged closure of businesses threatens the economic health and vitality of neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Headquartered 20 miles north of New York City in Purchase, New York, MasterCard is acutely aware of Sandy's impact on the local community, its businesses and its residents.
MasterCard is working with the NYC Department of Small Business Services in partnership with The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City to help revitalize commercial corridors by attracting visitors and new businesses to neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Staten Island, and launching new merchant associations in the Rockaways and the South Street Seaport. Through local community development corporations, MasterCard's support is helping bring small businesses back to the community and breathe new life into New York City's most impacted areas.

Whats the best way to do this? Here is a link to a screenshot:

Double affine Hecke algebras (DAHA), also called Cherednik algebras, and their representations appear in many contexts: integrable systems (Calogero-Moser and Ruijsenaars models), algebraic geometry (Hilbert schemes), orthogonal polynomials, Lie theory, quantum groups, etc. In this course we will review the basic theory of DAHA and their representations, emphasizing their connections with other subjects and open problems.
