This is the second of three papers synthesizing the ideas and practices of states as they seek to improve the quality of home and community based services (HCBS) and supports for older persons and persons with disabilities.
In 2003, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded grants to 19 states to enhance their quality management (QM) programs for HCBS programs. CMS contracted with the Community Living Exchange Collaborative to assist states in their grant activities by promoting information exchange and facilitating discussions on topics of common interest. As part of its work with the Community Living Exchange Collaborative, the Muskie School of Public Service, together with grantee states, identified three priority topics for working papers:
1. Quality Management (QM) Roles and Responsibilities
2. Discovery Methods for Remediation and Quality Improvement
3. Data Analysis and Use of Performance Measures
This paper will specifically address the following questions:

Why are discovery methods important?

What are the outcomes that discovery methods seek to assess?

What is a discovery method?

What are the features of a reliable and robust system of discovery methods?

What is a comprehensive yet focused system of discovery methods?

What evidence or other reports are produced from the discovery methods?

How do states move from discovery to action?

Discovery Methods for Remediation and Quality Improvement in Home and Community Based Services
This is the second of three papers synthesizing the ideas and practices of states as they seek to improve the quality of home and community based services (HCBS) and supports for older persons and persons with disabilities.
Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

Bells are ringing
All through the drowned town
In the empty streets
And a hundred miles around
Bells are ringing
Birds are flying upside down
My heart has been lost for too long
Bells are ringing
Ships will be leaving
This was my home
Nothing's moving, nothing is breathing
Bells are ringing
Ringing me from sleep
My sleep was not restful
But my dreaming was deep
Bells are ringing
We both know
There's nothing left to do
But walk out there and go
You could lean your head down
And rest it on my knee
You could tell me a story
That does not end this way
Bells are ringing
We both know
There's nothing left to do
But walk out there and go.

Leafing through some of the stuff I missed while on vacation, I found this interesting piece from Tim McManus on the way Michael Vick is viewed by his Philadelphia Eagles teammates and whether Nick Foles needs to overcome that in order to win over the locker room if he's to be the starting quarterback. Guys like LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson -- the key non-quarterback parts of the offense -- grew up idolizing Vick and still sometimes can't believe they're in the same huddle with him on Sundays...
Does Foles Need to Win the Locker Room?

- Genre: Survivalist

- Winner!
Author Bio
I live in a small town on the North Shore of Massachusetts with my husband of 1 1/2 years (though together for 6 1/2 years), my 3 daughters from my first marriage - 17, 15, and 12, our old, gentle cat Yuki and our crazy young cat Oreo.
My hobby focus for the year leads to different novels. A year spent working on genealogy turned into a historical fiction in 2014, and a year spent working on emergency preparedness turned into a post-apocalyptic book for 2015.
11 months of the year when I'm not working I bake, cook, help with homework, do things around the house, and teach Sunday school to kids at church and never seem to have time to myself. In November when I'm not working I'm writing. I'm not sure what happens to those other things to give me time to write.
2015 has brought a special new challenge, in addition to chronic pain and chronic migraine, which pop up as noveling speed bumps, I severely damaged my right (driving) ankle while hiking in the Azores in mid-August. After EMTs carried me out of the volcanic cavern on a stretcher, I haven't walked without a cast or aircast since. It's not going to stop me!

I hope Jeremy doesn't mind but I believe it's Kingston, Ontario
And yet another reason why it's safer to buy Canadian... yesterday I had to turn a package away (from the US) because I simply didn't have the money to pay the $120 in UPS fees I'm going to have to try and broker it myself, except the delivery guy actually said he couldn't give me the invoice and tracking papers, which he was supposed to, so now I gotta make the trip to UPS and yell at them for papers, then figure out where the customs office is and get the papers signed there, then head back to pick up my package.
Grr, at least this quite as bad as the time FedEx tried to charge me $110 on a $100 item.
Thats nothing. Fedex sent me a bill in the mail for $1850, and then few days later another $600 (USD) in customs/duty charges. *EDIT* this was for one package.

As a business, do you not have your own broker set up? (or maybe that only works for large retailers, I'm not sure)
No no, the 1850$ was the shipping charges. the $600 was for duty/customs. They just forgot to add it into the first bill or something.

Darn wouldn't it be nice to have something in QC (province). I'm in Quebec City and they mostly have Grados, some AKG and some STAX. To the best of my knowledge Quebec City has one (1) pair of HD800 and one (1) pair of T1. I visited them both.
If you want Denon then nobody has any.
Also yeah. If you buy from the US and is shipped via UPS or somethin', brokerage hurts big. Where's NAFTA in all this...
Were you importing an elephant? That's crazy...
close. five 100lbs spools of custom cable, shipped over fedex express from the USA. Had I known ahead of time how much it was going to cost for the shipping, I would have let them ship it ground lol.
3602: customs fees with UPS is only insane if you have it shipped ground. If you ship via their express methods they void the brokerage fees and you just pay the taxes.
But then you're paying a hefty chunk more for the shipping. Still... the lesser of evils.
You actually pay the exact brokerage fee difference in price from standard to express. So really, winds up being same price for either service, might as well take the one that arrives much quicker!

5 Résumé Tips for Military Spouses and Working ParentsAlice Gomstyn
"Are there gaps in your résumé?" "Avoid gaps in your résumé." "Make sure you have a ready explanation for why there are — gasp! — gaps in your résumé."
For parents who try to "on-ramp" back into the workforce after spending years caring for children, hearing such well-intentioned advice can make a job search feel extra intimidating.
Now imagine facing such daunting circumstances after bouncing around the country or the world with your family for months or years on end. Thousands of military spouses are contending with just that.
The wives of armed forces members are about three times more likely to be unemployed than their civilian counterparts, according to a recent study by the Military Officers Association of America that included a survey of some 2,600 women. A stunning 90 percent of wives of active service members report that they are underemployed, meaning they had more education or experience than necessary at their current or most recent jobs. Many of these women are working moms — nearly three out of four active service member wives have children under the age of 18, according to the study.
Much of the unemployment and underemployment is a result of managers looking askance at gaps in a military spouse's job history said Scott Vedder, a recruiter and résumé expert.
"The average military spouse moves many, many times and that can lead to a lack of continuity in employment," Vedder said. But what spouses may lack in consistent employment, they more than make up for with qualities such as strong values and skills honed through various military base activities and organizations.
Vedder, the author of the book, Signs of a Great Résumé, is publishing a special veterans' edition of the book next month. The new book — which can be donated to military families in need through this campaign — includes a section just for spouses. Below, Vedder gives me a quick rundown of some of his tips for both military wives and husbands.
1. Ensure Your Résumé Mentions You've Been Supporting a Military Family Member
Vedder says you can note that you support a military family member near the top of your résumé in a "summary of qualifications" section. You want employers to know you're a military spouse, he said, because it helps explain gaps in your employment. Some employers actually have military spouse hiring programs, but you'll only be eligible if you let your recruiter know. Military family members may also be eligible for "veterans preference" when applying to federal or state agencies — more information on that is available here.
2. Explain How You've Contributed to Family Readiness or Ombudsman Programs
Groups that plan welcome and send-off events for active service members and provide support for military families are a mainstay on military bases, though they go by different names depending on what branch of the military your spouse is serving in. The groups build "a strong sense of community and a lot of it is due to the hard work of military spouses," Vedder said. That work may include fundraising, managing expenses, reconciling accounts, and more. "All those things translate to transferable skills when you're looking for work," Vedder said. Vedder also recommends quantifying your specific accomplishments. You could, for instance, write that you've organized send-off parties at three military bases for 500 troops instead of going with something less descriptive.
3. Showcase Your Volunteerism and Community Service Activities
Do you volunteer at school events? Help coach a sports team? Pitch in with the USO? Put it on your résumé! "For people who may not have worked, an ongoing commitment to volunteerism shows you have followed through, keep regular schedule and you're actively participating in your community," Vedder said. He also recommends including the number of hours you volunteer per week. "It shows, 'Hey, I'm practically keeping a part-time work schedule,'" he said.
4. Articulate Workplace Skills You've Mastered While Running Your Household
Managing a tight household budget, comparison shopping, tax preparation, blogging and teleconferencing (with a deployed service member) are just some of the skills military spouses master, especially when their husbands and wives are away. Like skills honed through volunteer activities, the skills that spouses employ in their everyday lives can be transferable to civilian jobs too, Vedder said. List those skills in a functional résumé, instead of a more traditional résumé listing your chronological work history, to make it clear to employers that you have the know-how to excel in a desired job.
5. Take Advantage of Credentialing Programs That Enable State-to-State Mobility
From teachers to healthcare workers, moving to a new state may mean seeking new credentials necessary to secure work. That process might take months, but military spouses often have the option for a faster track: Many states have programs designed to expedite license transfers for military spouses. "Just because you're moving, it doesn't mean you have to start over again," Vedder said.
Vedder is hoping to raise enough money to donate copies of the veterans edition of Signs of a Great Résumé to 2,000 veterans. To make a donation — $5 buys one book — visit the IndieGogo campaign here. The campaign ends April 25 and the book will go on sale for $12.95 this May.

Dr. J.'s Commentary: Some Thoughts for Joshua Frank and Friends
A provocative article, "Dump the Democrats and Unite!" by Joshua Frank, a writer for The Nation and various on-line loci, appeared on the Online Journal (for which he is a contributing writer) on March 7, 2007. Frank briefly but comprehensively attacked the position and posture of the congressional Democratic Party on the war on Iraq, a position shared by the three leading candidates for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. The issues he raised about the posture of the Congressional Democrats vis-à-vis Iraq have been for the time-being at least somewhat set aside by their most recent Iraq initiative (Democrats shift debate to Iraq endgame). Nevertheless, Frank raised some serious concerns about the Democratic Party and its future, which are worth visiting. He concluded his article by saying:

Fact: Alaska's mineral industry was worth almost $3 billion in 2009, but paid less than 2 percent to state and local governments, counting all forms of taxes,
fees, and royalties. Taxes on other industries are much higher: the oil and gas industry paid about 20 percent of its market value, and the fishing industry paid around 5 percent. Coal mining also returns around 5 percent to the state. (Source: www.groundtruthtrekking.org/Issues/MetalsMining/Mining-Taxes-Revenue-Ala...)
In reference to "Young Defends States' Rights" (Clarion, Feb. 20), Congressman Don Young's words are appreciated, but actions speak louder than words. Why is Alaska treated as a federal colony, existing only to be plundered by the federal central government and its resources stolen by foreign corporations?
The Clarion quotes the Congressman as saying "... the country has lost states' rights ... a centralized monarch is governing the country. Alaska is being abused ... states' rights will be lost unless individuals speak up to preserve the republic status of the nation."
Regarding the article "DEC says Alaska fish are safe to eat" (Clarion, Jan. 24):
Let me see, is that the same Department of Environmental Conservation that says the toxic monofill in Nikiski is safe and that the injection of poisonous drilling waste into wells below Soldotna and surrounding areas is safe?
My recent letter was not intended to imply that the folks in Kenai and Soldotna don't care whether toxic waste is injected into their wells. Actually, I don't object to drilling waste injection as long as the wells are remote and can remain stable. What I object to is the idea that Nikiski has been chosen and permitted to allow a surface monofill pit to be created very close to the center of our small community. The history of Nikiski includes the improper dumping of toxins in multiple unregulated and undocumented sites.
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" contains the line: Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink." Sounds Familiar: Redoubt Reporter (Oct. 30) "Water Woes Worsen." Peninsula Clarion: (Nov. 3) "Shelter Opens For Flood Victims."
So you think that injecting toxic drilling waste into deep aquifers solves the problem (Clarion, Oct. 25). Great. Do you understand that these toxic solvents and "drilling wastes" will eventually work its way into the aquifers that you, the residents of Kenai and Soldotna, draw your drinking water from? What are you thinking? We, the residents "on the North Road" have been threatened by 1.2 million gallons of toxic waste to be poured by AIMM Technoligies on suface aquifers. On top of the 50 years of irresponsible dumping in our neighborhood?
One thing to consider with Obamacare: today on CSPAN, it was revealed that your medical information, no matter how confidential you may wish it to remain, will be sent through several agencies including the NSA, IRS, and FBI, and several other electronic domains before it ever hits the Obamacare's database.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to visualize the amount of private and personal data that the central government will be amassing on you!
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), an Environmental Justice Small Grant has been given to the Seldovia Village Tribe to test water from wells in their community. http://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/resources/publications/grants/ej-smgrants-recipients-2013.pdf
The meeting in Nikiski Monday night brought many new voices to a much-needed dialogue between community leaders, elected officials, and residents of what has become a very confusing and emotional issue regarding toxic waste dumping and toxic waste sites in and around this small community.
Present at the meeting were Borough Mayor, Mike Navarre and Representative Mike Chenault in addition to dozens of my neighbors.
I invite all Peninsula residents and especially all residents and property owners north of the refinery to attend the Nikiski Council Meeting scheduled for 9 Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Nikiski Senior Center (just 1 mile off the Spur on Island Lake Road). You are the people in the toxic "plume" that is emerging from years of waste dumping and the immediate emergency that AIMM Technogies intends when they dump 10 million gallons of toxic waste in Nikiski. You alone have the power to stop this!

Lab21 acquired a worldwide license to use Cooperative Diagnostics' real-time PCR technologies for the development of specific biomarker-based tests in the fields of oncology and infectious diseases. The firm says it plans to launch the first CE-marked companion diagnostic assay using the technology during the first half of 2012.
Initial work indicates that Cooperative Diagnostics' technology significantly reduces assay development times and generates assays that perform better than existing gold standards in terms of sensitivity and specificity, claims Berwyn Clarke, Ph.D., Lab21 CSO. "We expect the technology to deliver a substantial number of new assays in the first 12 months, and that it will be of significant interest to pharmaceutical companies needing to fast-track companion diagnostic development."
Cooperative Diagnostics has developed a suite of products for real-time PCR, including probes, primers, and hot-start technology for reducing non-specific amplification initiated during set-up. The firm offers its Simplex real-time PCR tests in kit form with ready-to-use master mix, which can be used on most instrumentation, as well as a real-time PCR custom-design service for assays ranging from infectious diseases to specific cancer marker diagnostics.
Molecular diagnostics firm Lab21 provides diagnostic services for clinicians and the pharma industry through its clinical laboratories division that has fully accredited laboratories in the U.S. and U.K., and is also developing a portfolio of molecular assays and infectious disease tests for screening blood supplies.

The UN and the Post-War Global Order: Bretton Woods in Perspective

Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The UN and the Post-War Global Order: Bretton Woods in Perspective Roosevelt Study Center, Middelburg, The Netherlands
17-19 September 2014
Keynote Lecture:
Prof. Eric Helleiner
Author of Forgotten Foundations of Bretton Woods: International Development and the Making of the Postwar Order, Cornell, 2014
Call for Papers
2014 will mark the 70th anniversary of the United Nations Monetary and Financial conference, held at the Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in the summer of 1944. The conference, which involved 730 delegates from all of the 44 nations gathered under the United Nations banner at that time, laid out the basic rules and regulations for the post-war world economy. Out of the conference came the plans and ambitions for the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade.
This conference will achieve two purposes: Firstly, it will bring together scholars who have examined the roots and background of the Bretton Woods conference, the questions that it dealt with and the solutions it proposed. Secondly, it will gather together perspectives on the enduring legacy of Bretton Woods in the post-war period as a central element in US global influence and power.
Most of the literature on Bretton Woods has focused on the two key players in the negotiations: Harry Dexter White of the United States and John Maynard Keynes of Great Britain. It is the intention to expand the scope by including papers on the standpoints, approaches, and contacts of other nations, and the role of the private sector.
Paper proposals on the following topics are welcome:
1) The Background.
How were the Bretton Woods negotiations formed by the Depression-hit 1930s and the experience of the League of Nations?
2) Britain and America.
Recent research on the American and British delegations to Bretton Woods. To what extent should we look beyond White and Keynes?
3) The Multilateral Dimension.
Alongside Britain and the United States, 42 other nations were present at the Bretton Woods negotiations. The Latin Americans were particularly important. How did these other delegations approach the issue of post-war economic planning? How did they convey their interests? What was their attitude towards the dominance of the United States and Great Britain over who would determine the outline of the postwar world?
4) The Soviet Dimension.
The Soviet Union participated in the Bretton Woods discussions, and were particularly involved on the quota issue. What do we know of broader Soviet views on the US-UK international economic system that was being planned? To what extent did Bretton Woods point to possible post-war cooperation or conflict?
5) The Private Sector.
The corporate and banking sectors had a major stake in the outcome of the Bretton Woods negotiations. Who were the main private protagonists associated with the negotiations? How should we assess their influence?
6) The Bretton Woods Legacy.
The negotiations set the basis for US global financial power in the post-war world. How should we assess this legacy? In what ways did the Nixon period change that legacy? What lessons does Bretton Woods give us for the international political economy of today?
The deadline for paper (and panel) proposals is 31 January 2014.
Please send all proposals to Giles Scott-Smith (RSC) at email@example.com
This event is part of the 'UN at 70' project, jointly run by the RSC and the Center for International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS, which examines the formation of the UN system during WW II and its lasting legacies.

Pet owners have a lot of responsibilities which include providing their pets with food and water. For example, if a cat is not left a bowl of water while its owners are away it will find a source of water on its own. The source of water that it finds may not be healthy for the animal. Therefore, pet owners have the responsibility of supplying their pet cat with a healthy water supply whenever they are not in the home.
One of the best ways to make sure that you live up to your responsibilities as a pet owner is to purchase a cat water fountain. There are several of these innovative water fountains on the market to choose from. All of these water fountains will provide your pet with an option to drink clean, pure water that is free flowing. Your cat will appreciate this whenever you are away from the home.
A cat fountain can be made from a variety of materials but most of them are made from a durable plastic that includes a splash-proof, deep water dish. The water is circulated by a recirculating pump which will provide your pet with up to a gallon of fresh, aerated water. The better water fountains have a charcoal filter which provides a pleasant taste.
For any cat that is under 40 pounds this is an ideal solution. Many of these fountains have an adjustable flow control, a nonslip bottom, and a durable plastic body. There may also be a water ramp to help reduce water splashing onto the floor area. Most of the fountains have a 50 ounce holding capacity which should provide enough fresh water for up to three days.
The first cat water fountain was developed by a veterinarian. She came up with the idea when she saw her cat trying to get a drink of water from her kitchen faucet that was slowly dripping. Her idea was to replicate the falling water which seemed to entice the cat to drink. She also wanted to invent a product that would be easily accessible for the cat.
Her original idea was to use a free-falling stream to aerate the water with oxygen while at the same time providing the unit with an activated carbon filter to remove bad taste and odors. She realized that this type of fountain would satisfy her pet's desire for fresh, running water. In turn, this would provide proper hydration which is essential for all cats.
Some activated carbon filters are made from coconut shells. The coconut shells go through a carbonization process and then an oxygen activation process. The first process removes any elements, except for carbon, while the second process reintroduces oxygen. This allows the activated carbon coconut shells to absorb various contaminants from normal tap water. It also improves the taste.
It is interesting to note that most veterinarians recommend a fountain that has running water. This will encourage your pet to drink more and therefore provide them with adequate hydration. By having the water fall freely into the dish it also will add oxygen for freshness. Therefore, if you own a cat you should purchase a water fountain for your pet.

BNP Paribas profit soars on investment banking
French bank BNP Paribas said on Wednesday it has completed restructuring kicked off last year to meet Europe's new banking rules and that an increase in investment-banking revenue contributed to a jump in third-quarter net profit.
France's largest listed bank said third-quarter net profit rose to €1.32bn, from €541m in the same quarter last year, which included a €2.14bn write down of the value of its Greek sovereign debt. Analysts had expected net profit of €1.25bn.
The bank's earnings underscore the turnaround in global debt markets, prompted in part by bond-buying initiatives announced by the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. European and US banks including Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Credit Suisse reported last month big gains in their quarterly investment banking operations.
BNP Paribas posted a 33.2% jump to €2.38bn in corporate and investment banking revenue, buoyed by its fixed-income and advisory businesses.
Domestic retail banking showed signs of weakening as France struggles with rising unemployment and eroding purchasing power. Retail banking revenue slipped 2.1% to €1.71bn from €1.75bn.
Total revenue fell 3.4% to €9.69bn from €10.03bn due to a €774m accounting charge stemming from a rule that requires banks to book a loss when the value of their debt rises.
BNP Paribas has moved quickly to meet Europe's tougher capital rules and cope with the sovereign debt crisis. The bank said Wednesday it has completed restructuring aimed at increasing its capital reserves – to cushion against shocks – and reducing dependence on volatile financial markets. Over the past 15 months, the bank has cut its dollar funding needs by $65bn and reduced its risk-weighted assets by around €79bn.
At the end of September, the bank's Core Tier 1 ratio under Basel III rules – made up of only top-quality capital such as equity and retained profit – stood at 9.5%, well ahead of the bank's 9% year-end target.
Rival French lender Societe Generale reports earnings on Thursday while Crédit Agricole will publish its results Friday.

TRENTON - The New Jersey Senate on Thursday confirmed Gov. Christie's two picks to the state Supreme Court, sealing a breakthrough in a years-long impasse over the court's composition.
Chief Justice Stuart Rabner was confirmed on a 29-6 vote after months of speculation about whether Christie would renominate him. The Republican governor had criticized Rabner's court as liberal and activist.
The Senate also confirmed Lee Solomon, a Haddonfield Republican and state court judge, by a 34-2 vote.
Rabner, 53, a Democrat, can now serve until he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70. A former federal prosecutor under Christie while he was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, Rabner was first appointed to the court by Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine in 2007.

It's starting again. I had gone for 14 months without seeing an article reporting on T and B levels in one disease or another. The T- and B-cell measures—having run through the sick, the elderly, the young, the pregnant, the bereaved—had finally run out of diseases. Each condition was the subject of many reports; so that now, to give but one example, we can conclude with some assurance that T-cell numbers are up,1 down,2-4 or unchanged5-8 in old folks.
And now it's starting all over again, this time with T-cell subsets. Think, dear reader, and grieve, dear editor, about how many investigators are at this very moment measuring T-cell subsets in systemic lupus erythematosus, in rheumatoid arthritis, in solid tumors (all different sorts—one article for each), in lymphomas, in pneumonia, after surgery, after burns, after trauma, in asthma, in cirrhosis, in Crohn's disease, in glomerulonephritis, in myositis,

After struggling in last year's first-round matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers, a series in which he surrendered 26 goals in six games, Marc-Andre Fleury entered this year's playoffs seemingly at the top of his game and looking to improve on his disappointing playoff record of 12-14 since 2009.
Unfortunately for the Penguins, Marc-Andre Fleury's struggles have continued as he has allowed 14 goals in the past three games.
While the Penguins as a team have struggled defensively against a younger and faster New York Islanders team, Fleury's performance in net has not been close to what he has shown in the past or what the Penguins will need to advance through the playoffs.
As a result, Dan Bylsma has decided to replace Marc-Andre Fleury with Tomas Vokoun, a move that could have far reaching implications beyond this season.
Here are five reasons why starting Tomas Vokoun over Marc-Andre Fleury is the right decision.

Skip to comments.Al Gore Pleaded With Masseuse to Release His Second Chakra (...EWWWWWWwwwwwww...!)
Posted on 06/29/2010 11:05:32 AM PDT by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
After a long days work, the junk scientist needed some hot second chakra action.
Byron York at The Washington Examiner reported, via Ace:
The police report of the masseuses complaint is 73 pages long and extremely detailed. According to the document, she got a call from the front desk of the trendy Hotel Lucia on the night of Oct. 24, 2006. The hotel had a special guest. Could she come at 10:30 p.m.?
She went to Gores room carrying a folding massage table and other equipment. Gore, whom she had never met, greeted her with a warm embrace. The hug went on a bit long, and I was taken just a bit aback by it, the masseuse told police. But she went along because Gore was a VIP and a powerful individual and the Hotel Lucia had made it clear to me by inference that they were giving him the royal treatment.
Gore said he was tired from travel and described in detail the massage he wanted. It included work on the adductor muscles, which are on the inside of the thighs. I mentally noted that a request for adductor work is a bit unusual, the masseuse told police, because it can be a precursor to inappropriate behavior by a male client.
Gore also requested work on his abdomen. When that began, He became somewhat vocal with muffled moans, etc., the masseuse recounted. Gore then demand[ed] that I go lower. When she remained focused on a safe, nonsexual area, Gore grew angry, becoming verbally sharp and loud.
The masseuse asked Gore what he wanted. He grabbed my right hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his pubic hair area, my fingers brushing against his penis, she recalled, and said to me, There! in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone. When she pulled back, Gore angrily raged and bellowed at her.
Then, abruptly, the former vice president changed tone. It was as though he had very suddenly switched personalities, she recalled, and began in a pleading tone, pleading for release of his second chakra there.
Lets be honest
Weve all yearned for a little second Chakra release action at one time or another?
Ping. ;)
EWW & a big Yuck.
The "Release my second chakra line," always a big crowd pleaser (not). I'm gonna remember this every time I think of Al and AGW (Al Gore Warming).
Public ridicule and utter humiliation of this bogus clown is long overdue.
If the "masseuse" decides to press charges and legal action is taken, this will be fun to watch.
What goes around comes around ....Al
"Weve all yearned for a little second Chakra release action at one time or another?"
Perhaps so, but what distinguishes the rest of us from the Bill Clintons and Al Gores of the world is that this yearning doesn't lead us to abuse our power or trust by sexually assaulting women to get it. Of course, I'm neither an ex-president nor Nobel Prize winner, so who knows how "entitled" I would feel were I in their shoes?
Sounds like Albert was suffering from the deadly affliction which affects human males known as "Deadly Secondary Chakra Build-up".
Interesting that Algone is a new-ager.
That connects some dots.
I may be a little naive, but how many
chakras do men usually have?
I've got a new name for him now! CHAKRA KHAN!
Isn't Chakra the name of the little furry-boy that was the buddy to young Holly in the first "Land of the Lost" Saturday morning show??
Please release me, let me go
My second Chakra waits for you
To waste our time would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
If massuese stll votes democrat she is dumber and possibly a liar or exaggerator. Who knows for sure with those lunatic libs.
LOL!! I feel for you ...
"...as though he had very suddenly switched personalities..."
He has personality?
Coulda fooled me.
He IS a certifiable fruitcake!
Sounds like Gore knows exactly which "muscles" to name as though it's a "signal". You just KNOW there have been many times in the past when he's requested special treatment and got it.
This wretch was Vice President of the United States. "The Divine One" is now President of the United States. Bill Clinton, perjurer, was President of the United States. Something is WRONG!
Makes me wonder if this is the lefts way of getting rid of Al without giving a nod to the "Hide the Decline" heroes.
Release! my Second Chakra!
You did know Al Gore's environmental wacko Hip Hop name is "Al G"
No controlling chakra authority..
Hmmm, let's see:
1. Rapid mood swings.
2. Authoritarian.
3. Huge sense of entitlement.
4. Total disregard for others; sees people as things.
5. Sexual predator.
Are we not describing a monster, here?
I think Gore went certifiably crazy after losing in 2000. I'm not trying to insult him by saying that. I think he really has gone crazy.
Is this for real?
Cha-Ka: "Cha-Ka think it's *new* pylon!"
So it was a chakra con?
Well that chart about says it all.
"When, in the course of a long train of abuses..."
Big Al's behavior suggests that he's been down this path many, many times before.
Yea...with the flaming idiots that vote these perverts/narcissists/dictators into office.
She was so pretty. Great voice, too.
"Can you show me on this chakra chart where he wanted you to touch him?"
Yes, it does. Also brings to mind John Edwards and the new ager Rielle Hunter.
Want I find creepy is that he seems to have an MO, as if this is not the only time he has done this.
Yea...with the flaming idiots that vote these perverts/narcissists/dictators into office.
Release the,KRAKEN!!
Yea...with the flaming idiots that vote these perverts/narcissists/dictators into office.
Ooga Ooga Ooga Chakra...Ooga Ooga Ooga Chakra....
You just totally made my day!!!!
You can't possibly know how much I admire you.
Something is also wrong with the FR servers. Man...they seem slugish and don't always respond.

General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) -- Bi-Monthly Update
I just completed my weekly study of all my High Profile Industrial / Diversified Industrials. This is a study that like because I have spent so much time and experience in the study of Companies like (GE). It is like visiting with an old friend, in my case for over 50 years.
My objective is to identify changing trends for my Forecasting Analytics. Simple stated, I want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this Sector and Industry Group.
This week's Commentary on - General Electric Company (GE) - covers all of my Indicators, both Fundamentally for Valuations and Technically for Momentum. There is much to cover to provide my best possible Forecast and Opinion.
Please connect with "My Focus Article." Click: http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/121308-steven-bauer/2057252-my-focus-article
Forecast & Opinion from my Study / Analytics:
General Electric Company and other Industrial Companies are tracking well. Although (GE) is in a strong Rally it is always an excellent contributor to my Analytics.
My Forecast is not as bright as you may think! (I will be more specific upon request).
My Opinion is to HOLD in anticipation of taking profits.
If you own or are considering owning Industrial Companies, the securities are definitely a mixed bag. General Electric Company is currently strong Technically but I have reservations about my Fundamental Valuation, there I have placed it on an Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."
My Analytics (weighting) for my Fundamental Valuation play a vital role in profitable managing money. At this time my Valuations of (GE) are not as positive at perhaps you are being told by other sources. Plainly stated they are Flat to Descending.
A Twenty Year Perspective of General Electric Company (GE)
It has NOT always been like you are being told by so many who do not take the time to Invest Wisely. General Electric Company (GE) has taken some big hits over the years.

Catalogue entry
Inscr. 'E. Wadsworth 1937' b.l.
Tempera on linen laid on panel, 28×40 (71×101·5).
Purchased from the artist through Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd (Clarke Fund) 1938.
Exh: Tooth's, April–May 1938 (13); Tate Gallery, February–March 1951 (30); Venice Biennale, 1952 (British Pavilion, 72).
Repr: John Rothenstein, The Tate Gallery, 1962, p.256.
The artist seems to have stopped painting landscapes and harbour scenes such as T00497 by about 1925 and turned to still life, often composed of shells and mechanical objects with a nautical connotation, binoculars, sextants, for example, sometimes set against a seascape background. 'The Beached Margin' is a logical development of this type of subject which is perhaps partly inspired by Surrealist techniques, but also owes much to Léger, whose style Wadsworth imitated briefly in a series of still lifes of 1930–2. (Cf. also N05147.)

For graduates wishing to make the transition to studying economics at postgraduate level.
If you want to train as an economist then our Economics diploma will provide you with all you need while offering the greatest flexibility in your future career choices, a great option for those attracted by the opportunities in the financial sector. The skills you will acquire will provide you with an excellent foundation for your future life and career.
The eight established Scottish Universities (Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Herriot-Watt, St. Andrews, Stirling, Aberdeen and Strathclyde) collaborate through the Scottish Graduate Programme to provide a high quality and thorough training in economics to graduate students and to instil in them all the skills necessary to become a modern professional economist.
Gaining this diploma can lead to entry onto the MSc Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics.
The study of Economics as a serious enterprise goes back to the Dundee School of Economics, founded in 1931. Of the many distinguished economists who were members of the Dundee School, the most famous name is that of Nobel Laureate, Ronald Coase.
Today, Economic Studies is committed to preserving that tradition of excellence in research, scholarship and teaching. Our main focus is on applied economics and economic policy. Members of Economic Studies are all actively engaged in research in these areas and seek to enliven and inform their teaching through their own scholarship. Many of the modern debates to which students will be exposed are those in which their teachers have made an active contribution.
Economic Studies is proud of the success of its own members, many of whom have high international reputations. We are equally proud of the success of so many of our graduates and postgraduates in many different walks of life - the civil service, industry, finance and academia.
Who should study this course?
This Diploma programme is intended as a bridge between first degree and postgraduate study. It is designed particularly to help students with first degrees involving only limited specialisation in economics make the transition to studying economics at the postgraduate level.
Teaching & Assessment
How you will be taught
Modules start at the beginning of the academic session in September and are taught by lectures and tutorials.
How you will be assessed
The Diploma is awarded for satisfactory performance in coursework and degree examinations.
What you will study
The course comprises the following modules:
- Microeconomic Analysis
- Macroeconomic Analysis
- Econometrics
- one option from the wide choice available
A wide range of possibilities is open to you when you graduate, alongside your specific subject knowledge, your degree will provide you with a valuable range of skills that can be used in many different careers such as:
- selecting and analysing information
- solving both abstract and practical problems
- understanding and interpreting numerical and graphical data
- thinking logically and laterally
- communicating your ideas concisely
You may wish to continue onto the MSc Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics.
In recent years our graduates have found employment in many walks of life. Some have decided to pursue careers as professional economists and have gone on to work for the UK Government Economic Service or the Scottish Government. Others have taken up careers in finance or in general management, working for banking multinationals, major consultancies and marketing departments.

The AMEEscore: New Insight into the Supply Chain
AMEE has developed a unique approach to provide an environmental score for the entire population of businesses in the UK. By combining AMEE's comprehensive environmental data with publicly available commercial data, AMEE has built the AMEEscore. The score reflects the estimated greenhouse gas emissions of a company. Companies are then invited to update their profiles to more accurately reflect their emissions. Over time, AMEE will also collect other critical environmental data such as water, waste, rare resources, etc. AMEE also provides a range of capabilities that help companies calculate emissions or footprint their operations.
The AMEEscore can help supply chain leaders provide a new lens into the efficiency and risk profile of their suppliers. For example, insight into the energy efficiency of suppliers can be benchmarked against others or improvements in energy efficiency can be measured over time. Supply chain leaders can also gain insight into the risk they have to cost changes resulting from energy exposure. In addition, CFOs can gain insight into the potential carbon liabilities and energy price volatility in their supply chain. Finally, much of the data required for companies to report using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard can be gathered and managed in an automated way.

Mainstreaming HIV and Gender in ECHO DRR Food Security Projects
Southern Africa remains at the epicentre of the global HIV epidemic. UNAIDS estimates that 35% of all HIV infected people live in this region and the majority are women. Although there is evidence of the epidemic stabilizing in some countries, HIV remains a challenge to livelihoods and development. As part of the ECHO FS DRR project, FAO REOSA has engaged a Regional HIV and Gender Officer, Gertrude Kara, to support FAO country project coordinators and implementing partners in the three project countries to effectively apply a gender sensitive HIV lens to DRR food security programming. This includes mainstreaming actions to address the needs of vulnerable groups in project design and implementation without stigmatising them. Her tasks include:
- Identifying and training on technical support needs
- Documentation of lessons learned on gender and HIV in DRR food security
- Dissemination and fundraising for new models
Gertrude is visiting Malawi (20 to 25 March) and Mozambique (11 to 15 April) and later Madagascar to understand ECHO Food Security Project operations at field level, consult with FAO and partners, identify support needs and explore partnerships. Results of her mission will contribute to development of a plan of action for mainstreaming HIV, gender and nutrition in this and other REOSA projects.

Clothes, shoes and jewelry: Now Downtown Albany consignment shop Verge is branching out on a new venture.
The store just launched its own fragrance, called "Verge," made with 100 percent natural oils. Owner Jessica Blair partnered together with another Downtown Albany store, Global Essence, to create the perfume.
"We got together and mixed the perfume up the way we thought it would work the best for what I like and her taste as well, and this is what we've come up with," Blair, who describes the fragrance as "earthy."
She says they are just testing small bottles of the perfume for now. Bottle prices range from $2 up to $5. Don't live in Albany? "Verge" is available for purchase online through the store's Facebook page.

Bridge safety can depend as much on what happens under a bridge as on it.
A giant pile of dirt stored beneath an I-495 bridge in Wilmington is the chief suspect as the cause of tilting that forced the closure of the span last week.
The episode is reminiscent of a 1996 fire in stacks of discarded tires under I-95 in Port Richmond that closed a section of the interstate for a week and forced traffic restrictions for months.
In 2012, traffic was restricted for six weeks on I-195 near Trenton after a dump truck on the New Jersey Turnpike struck a pillar supporting an I-195 overpass and burst into flames, killing the driver and damaging the structure.
