Course: 170801 | CPE: 1.0 | Level: Intermediate | Prerequisites: None
The push to reduce Medicaid spending has never been so great. For Texas, there is good reason to believe that this could play out as CMS and HHSC continue to negotiate terms of the 1115 Waiver renewal. Regardless of this federal push, the continued maturation of the 1115 Waiver program requires all participating organizations with DSRIP projects to determine the disposition of their projects and rethink their approach and structure to the DSRIP program. Further, the UC funding quagmire will require organizations receiving such funds to determine how they will finance the future cost of the Medicaid shortfall and the cost of caring for those who have no insurance coverage. Many uncertainties exist regarding UC funding levels and the impact of the UC disallowance appeal. This course will provide a current update to the dynamic realities of today's Medicaid program and, in addition, review the new opportunities and complexities found in the Medicaid Uniform Hospital Rate Improvement Program (UHRIP). This will include discussion of the impact of the 8 newly approved Local Provider Participation Funds (LPPF) in Texas. This program will be of benefit to anyone who has to make decisions regarding the impact of Medicaid funding on operations and for those finance leaders who project, budget, and account for Medicaid uncompensated care funding.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to provide a current update on the 1115 Waiver renewal, with emphasis on future UC funding levels and critical new DSRIP requirements, and to educate attendee's on the new UHRIP Medicaid funding program in development in Texas.
Target Audience:
Accountant, Reimbursement Director, Budget Director, Controller, and C-Level/CFO's

This agreement allows Royale to drill up to three wells targeting a 3D seismically defined amplitude. The seismic event is clearly correlated to the nearby productive natural gas horizon and shows a sizable target with multiple well follow up potential.
Royale is pleased to enter into the first of what it believes to be a series of development opportunities with an industry participant of this caliber.
'I am excited to have the opportunity to establish a relationship of this nature,' said Stephen Hosmer, 'and look forward to the reserve and production growth for both of our companies.'

Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I am here, along with my good friend and colleague, the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Scott), to address a national crisis that's facing us today.
Too many of our young African American and Hispanic men cannot read. They're dropping out of school and they're ending up in prison. Without the skills to be able to get a job, many of these young men may lose hope and they resort to crime.
I personally understand, to a certain degree, what these young men are going through. I lost hope myself in my early twenties.
Raised as a single child, my parents were deceased by the time I was 19. I dropped out of school, ended up being unemployed, and resorted to food stamps. My food stamps were ultimately cut off. At that time, I felt I would never make it in life, and I gave up.
Now, several factors intervened to help save me. One was my godmother, Octavia Lyons. She wasn't a college graduate and she wasn't a professional woman. She was a domestic cleaning lady like my mother, and she was raised and educated in segregated Mobile, Alabama. She understood the value of working and the value of education, and she demanded that I do something with my life.
The other factor that motivated me directly to go to school, again, was the fact that I was able to go to the Detroit Public Library. I caught the bus. And I started reading books on visual artists, and it inspired me to go back to school to study fine arts again. But the point is, I had the ability to read--and reading helped save my life.
Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Thank you, Representative Scott.
To the American people, we want to show that even though this Congress many times is divided based on ideology and party, he and I--I'm one of the most liberal Members of this House and my friend, the gentleman from South Carolina, is one of the most conservative--both agree we've got to address this national crisis. We've got to save the lives of our young black and Hispanic men. And by doing so, we're going to help strengthen our economy and help create jobs. This is a national call to action for all of us in government, schools, libraries, business, and our charities and our families, to all work together to help educate our young men on the value of reading and to teach them to read.

- Description
Meade Advanced Coma Free Optics (ACF) Optical Design
The science behind the Meade f/8 optical tube starts with their patented ACF optics. Improving upon the original Schmidt Cassegrain design, Meade's ACF optics deliver the ultimate in clarity, contrast and flat field of view. Natural coma and optical abberations are eliminated allowing for pin point round stars to the edge of the field. These qualities make Meade ACF optical tubes excellent imaging instruments. However, by pairing this revolution in optical design with their Ultra High Transmission Coatings (UHTC), light transmission and detail are greatly increased allowing you visually discern fainter objects than ever before - an observer's dream! This OTA is built for speed too. Traditional Schmidt Cassegrains would typically have a field stop of f/10, at only f/8 your exposure times are exponentially decreased allowing you to get more imaging in each night.
- ACF (Advanced Coma Free) Optics for maximum sharpness and clarity.
- UHTC (Ultra High Transmission Coatings) for 20% more contrast and brightness when compared to Meade's original optical coatings.
- 7:1 precision focuser with zero-image shift.
- Losmandy style dovetail for fast and easy attachment to your choice of mount.
- Includes Vixen style, top mounted accesssory dovetail to readily accept a wide variety of accessories including guide scopes and cameras.
- 8x50 optical finder
- Series 5000 2" diagonal
- 25mm HD-60 Eyepiece

- Questions & Answers
Product QuestionsHi: Can you change the position of the dovetail bar? I would want to move it 90 degrees from position shown in the picture to accommodate my mount. Thanks,Question by: timestop on May 26, 2014 12:04:51 PMThe dovetail bar can be mounted only on the top or bottom of the optical tube, but the finder can be mounted in two positions to that it is possible to rotate the whole tube by 90 degrees with the dovetail on the bottom and still have the finderscope in a convenient position.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on May 27, 2014 8:20:08 AMWhich version of the Flexible Dew shields would work on the 10" F8 ACF OTA given the position of the dovetail plate and its mounting bracket. Also, how would you rig a heating cable given the dovetail location. Thanks for your answerQuestion by: timestop on Nov 2, 2014 8:19:23 AMThere is approximately 1.25" from the front radius saddle to the front lip of the 10" OTA, so a standard 10" SCT dew shield or heater strip should have enough purchase to hold onto the end of the scope. for a non-heated dew shield, you can cut a wide notch in the shield to fit around the lower radius saddle if you want, but it should not be necessary.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on Nov 6, 2014 10:25:22 AMHi: Is the visual back a true 2" visual back, so that there will be no vignetting when using a 2" diagonal and 2" eyepieces? Other than a mount, eyepieces, dew shield and dew heater, is there anything one would need to start using this? Thanks!Question by: StarNut on Jul 3, 2014 7:12:12 AMThe clear aperture of the 2" visual back is 1.66", but the scope has the standard ~3.27" visual back behind it that will accept aftermarket true 2" adapters from Peterson Engineering and other companies. The difference between 1.66" and 2" will be minimal, as the real ID of a 2" diagonal barrel is around 1.85", so even with a 40-50mm+ eyepiece the difference will be slight.
For visual use, the accessories you mention are a great start. I would add a recommendation of moon filter and light pollution filter and good power supply for whatever mount you choose.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on Jul 3, 2014 11:22:58 AMWould the vignetting on a full frame camera such as a Canon 6D still allows for good pictures? How about with APS-C?Question by: Ogen on Jun 11, 2015 8:55:00 AMFrom personal experience, this optical tube will work well on a full frame DSLR (I used a 5D Mk II) with just a slight bit of distortion of star shapes in the corners. The baffle tube has a minimum opening of ~2.5" at the baffles, so there is no mechanical vignetting, but you will still need to shoot flat frames to correct natural light fall-off in the corners. An APS-C sensor will have more even illumination and great star shapes across the frame, but flats are still recommended for best results.Answer by: Chris Hendren (Admin) on Jun 11, 2015 12:11:00 PMHi: Can the included finder scope be set-up with a right angle diagonal to improve ease of use? Thanks!Question by: timestop on May 10, 2014 3:00:12 AMThere is no way to modify the included finderscope with a right angle attachment as that would require cutting the finder tube shorter to allow for the path length of the diagonal. Right angle finderscopes from Orion, Antares and other companies OPT works with can be purchased separately to replace the included straight through finder in the included bracket or with optional replacement finder brackets.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on May 11, 2014 7:07:40 AMIs it possible to assemble the new OTA 10" to an old field tripod and mount from year 1990, to install it to the go to system and make it work?
Who can do this installation?Question by: Fernando soler on Sep 15, 2015 7:43:00 PMUnfortunately, it does not appear so. We spoke to Meade and they said that the current oprical tubes would not have the same hole pattern on each side to mount to an older fork mount. The optical tube doe not include any of the computerization, so the mount would need to be upgraded to a newer model with GoTo and at least a 40 lb carrying capacity to support this telescope.Answer by: Chris Hendren on Sep 17, 2015 4:31:00 PMHi Chris: Thanks for the answer on moving the dovetail. Follow-up: I see in the picture 1. the finder scope and 2. another mounting bracket. Can this mounting bracket be moved also?Question by: timestop on May 27, 2014 1:07:52 PM

Every morning when I wake up, I text this girl and say something like "good morning gorgeous ;D" or I try to say something sweet.. But I'm running out of things to say and I really don't want to repeat because I don't want it to get old and not feel as special to her. Any ideas?

Satin Ice Is The Bomb (Great Story)
Decorating By kimbordeaux Updated 15 Jul 2010 , 8:16pm by Kitagrl
I emailed Satin Ice last week asking if they had changed anything with their fondant because I was having great difficulty with the last three 20lb buckets I purchased. I told them that no matter what I did it was tearing, cracking and getting elephant skin and that I have not had these problems in the past with Satin Ice.
Almost every cake I make is covered with fondant, Satin Ice fondant. I told them if I keep having these problems I cannot continue to use Satin Ice. They wrote me back wanting my name, #, address and batch #s. Well, I don't keep empty buckets laying around, only had 1/2 bucket left so I gave that batch # along with the other info they requested.
Guess what? Yesterday UPS drops off a 20lb white Satin Ice! I was in shock. I emailed Satin Ice back to tell them of my suprise and happiness at their great customer relations. I told them thanks for caring about their customers because it makes a difference and that I was going to tell my story on CC.
This is what they wrote back:
"Hey Kim, Surprise!!! To answer your question, when we changed equipment some months ago we had to reduce the amt of corm syrup in the SI due to the machinery running hotter. When we started having issues (??), we went back to the original mixer and old recipe so all should be good. Would you like to try our new BUTTERCREAM flavored fondant??? IT IS BEYOND FABALOUS.
Satin Ice made me feel good about them!
WOW I have been having the same problems with most of my 20 pound buckets lately. I thought that I was just getting bad ones or older ones?
I actually have a couple of my buckets since I mix colors and put them in baggies and then store them in there. I think I may email them too and see where I get thanks for the tip...
That IS great customer service! It's also good to know that so many people were not going crazy when they suddenly started having issues with SI.
I wish I could find the thread, but they posted the story of their new equipment problems on here, and to let everyone know that the issue was fixed.
I wish I would have known that before I had mental breakdown 2 weeks ago. I had 3 orders that weekend and couldn't get my fondant to work. I pulled it off of wedding cake 3xs! I was feeling horrible because I didn't want to ruin anyone's wedding or birthday. I ended up trying to hide all the cracks and elephant skin. The customers were still pleased with cakes but I wasn't. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Never had problems before with Satin Ice. I feel better now that I know it wasn't anything I was doing.
That's great that it worked out for you!
It's too bad that a number of other CCrs have not had as great as customer service as you. Many of them have been told they have to send back their bad batches of SI at their own expense and have encountered some not so nice Customer service reps.
Honestly, I don't plan on using it for a while.
Wow. Well that's nice for you but I tried emailing them about the Satin Ice problems and wanted to try the new buttercream kind too and they never replied.
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned I had to use FondX instead of Satin Ice because of the problem.....
Glad you had a good experience.

Mom's Delicious Enchiladas
Recipe by iluvfood
My mother makes these often. I've tweaked the recipe a bit. I use refried beans in this, but black beans are also good. You can leave out the beans if you'd like.
Top Review by J. Ko
Mmmmmm enchiladas! I made this for PAC Spring 2008. The whole family enjoyed this, even DH, who doesn't like refried beans, and picky DS, who doesn't like to try new things. You neglected to mention in the list of ingredients what kind of soup to use, so I read some other similar recipes and decided to use cream of chicken soup. I found that baking for 35 to 40 minutes was perfect in my oven. Thanks for sharing!

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS11744404
Manufacturer Part Number WP74010750
Manufactured by Whirlpool
This bake element, also known as an oven bake element, supplies heat for baking purposes. This part is located at the bottom of the oven. If you find little to no heat when baking, a burned out bake element, or food is taking too long to cook, these symptoms could be solved by replacing the bake element. Before starting this replacement, make sure the range is unplugged from the power source or shut off from the house circuit breaker. The tools needed is a Phillips screwdriver. For safety reasons, make sure to wear gloves.
This part works with the following brands: Maytag, Magic Chef, Jenn-Air, Crosley, Amana, Admiral, Kenmore, Norge, Whirlpool.
This part works with the following products: Range, Wall Oven.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
What is the distance between the two terminals? Side to side width
Hi Val,
Thank you for your inquiry. The part is on a grid background that is made up on one inch squares. From what I am seeing the terminals are 19 inches apart. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
Plugs in easily, screws to secure
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
It was easy finding the part on line and the part was delivered within three days. It only took about 10 minutes to change element. I was so pleased with the product, that I just changed a thermostat on my parents stove which was purchased through parts select and that was very easy to change also.
Turned off power to oven. Removed screws from each side of element. Removed connectors to disconnect old element. Connected new element to connectors. Replaced screws, then turned on power to oven. Turned on oven to heat. Easy install.
Just took the old one out and put the new one in. Very easy!
Take out 2 screws. Unplug the old element, plug in the new one and put the screws back in.
Video showed element being unplugged from inside oven. My oven wires did not extend into oven cavity and they fell behind the back oven wall when I unplugged them. After trying to catch the two wires using needle nose pliers through 3/4" holes several times, I finally decided to take the complete back off the range. When I did this, I was able to see the wires with the female couplings. I then had my wife firmly hold the new element against the back of the oven from inside letting me connect the wires to the new element and replace the oven back. THIS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED AS "EASY" AND A 15 TO 30 MINUTE JOB if this technique had been known from the outset.
Unscrewed two Phillips screws holding the element in the back of the oven, pulled out the element and the leads, disconnected the wires, removed element from oven and reversed the process to install new one. One most important and critical maneuver - the element is connected to the hot wire on the left side and the switch shuts off the element by disconnecting electrical flow to the neutral side of the power so its not enough to just have the oven turned off - makes one heck of a spark when the wire touches the stove panel when you pull the wire through the hole (220 at 60 amps).
Very easy to install with the advanced instructions you provided.
First, turn off the breaker to the range. Then just remove the 2 screws that hold the element at the back of the oven. Pull the wire connectors apart or push them off with a regular screwdriver. Instructions that I read said to make sure the wires don't fall back through the holes, but in our case the insulation held them in place. Reconnect the wire connectors to the new element and reattach with the screws. Easy!
Went down stairs and turned the breaker for the oven off. Opened the oven door, took a phillips head wrench and took two screws out of the back of the oven that held the element in place. Slowly pulled the old element toward me. It seemed to catch on something in the back of the oven on the other side of the oven wall, so a jiggled the old element a little and it came out towards me with a mechanical connector and a wire attached at both ends of the element. I slipped the connctors off of the element and attached the connectors to the new element. Carefully slide the new element back through the holes and put the screws back in the small plates attached to the element. Went down stairs and turned the breaker back on. Turned oven on and it heated up even quicker than the old element.
Shut off the power to the stove. Remove the two screws retaining coilAnd simply pulled the coil out exposing the wire clips. The wires detach easily Reconnected to the new coil, pushed the coil back in, reintalled the retainer screws and Done. Time: ten minutes
Easily removed the oven and had access to the rear in under a minute undid the 2 Phillips screws retaining the element and replaced with the new element I had ordered it was just so simple!Thank you as you saved us calling out an expensive technician avoiding unreasonable time and costs expenditure
Turned off the circuit breaker. Removed two screws - pulled the element out enough to get to clips connected to power. Removed old element - installed the new one. Replaced the screws, then turned the circuit breaker back on. Stove was repaired.
First I fliped the curcuit breaker to eleminate power to the stove. Then removed the 2 screws that hold the element in place. Then carefully pull the element out and disconnect. Installed new element to connectors and gently pushed back into the stove housing. Secured with the removed screws and turned back on the curcuit breaker. Turned on the oven and it worked like a charm..
we removed the back I had my dad help me so he removed the wires while I removed the screws on the inside. When I received the part he also helped me replace it by putting on the wires while I put the screws in. Remember to disconnect from electricity.

As knitters, we can show our colors in yarn, like Lang Sol Dégradé. This 100% cotton ribbon yarn has long color repeats that make easy projects look more complicated. Try it in Martina Behm's popular scarf pattern, Trillian. The long color repeats look terrific in this asymmetrical triangle with a narrow fishnet border. And you can knit a small one with just one ball of Sol Dégradé!
HCW will be CLOSED on Saturday July 4th,
so join us after you spike the watermelon and chill the potato salad, but before the fireworks.
Comments will be approved before showing up.

Retropix: Viaduct
[Retropix week! Will feature some old school retro photos, postcards and drawings of the Hoboken area from years back all week!]
Hoboken Photo of the Day – 5/11/2009
"From Hoboken to the Heights"
Hoboken fronts on the Hudson River accross from Manhattan. The Palisades, a line of steep cliffs which rise nearly vertically, separate Hoboken from Jersey City and Union City (part of Union City was once called West Hoboken). Various cuts, tunnels, trestles, elevators, staircases, roads and inclines bridged the elevation. Many of them like the Ferry Street Trestle Hoboken, the Inclined Cable Railway and Hoboken Wagon Elevation are now gone.
From the Maggie Land Blanck postcard collection. Check 'em out!
PS – if you have retro images collecting dust on your camera or hard drive – send them in for eventual inclusion on Hoboken411! Please state how you'd like to be credited in your email, and a description – if desired!!

Being a top executive is tough and getting tougher, fresh surveys and a new book are warning.
Eighty per cent of 270 CFOs surveyed last month by staffing company Robert Half Management Resources said they believe it's somewhat or significantly more difficult to be a company leader in today's business environment than it was five years ago.
And life at the top is also riskier than ever. The 107 departures of chief executive officers from North American companies in December was higher than the monthly average of the rest of the year, according to figures from Chicago-based outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
So it's more important than ever to not get into the job with a strike or two against you, says leadership coach Neil Giarratana, a veteran of 32 years as CEO of manufacturing companies in Europe and North America.
His new book, CEO Priorities, talks about survival at the top as a matter of understanding people and anticipating their concerns. "Without building a 'shadow cabinet' of loyal supporters, the CEO is going to have a tough and lonely time before being inevitably shown the door," he says.
Mr. Giarratana has identified the challenges that face most incoming executive leaders, and offers a strategy to avoid such pitfalls in their first days on the job:
The challenge: Especially if you are hired from outside the company, one or more of the people now reporting to you have had aspirations for your job. "At one company I was brought in [to]as a CEO, someone in my team who thought he had been anointed went so far as to listen in to my calls and do dirty tricks to undercut me," Mr. Giarratana recalls.
What to do: Those are people you can identify before you start by asking the recruiter about the environment you are going into and who might not be happy that you got the job. Schedule a meeting with each of them individually and lay it on the table: "I want to be honest with you about where we are going and I would love it if you agree to stay and do your role." If you see attitudes and behaviour continuing that could undercut your authority, the next step is to let that person go, he advises. People like this often have supporters who may have to go as well.
The challenge: Blame must fall on someone when changes make people uneasy, and because you're the agent of change, you are the biggest target.
What to do: Make sure you communicate with everyone in the organization right from the start and define your strategy so they are reassured that what you are planning to do is realistic and practical and won't cause major disruption to the culture of the company. Communicate that it is "steady as she goes," walk around and speak to everyone in an open manner to make it clear you care about and will address their concerns.
The challenge If you come from another industry, it will be assumed you don't understand what "our industry" and "our culture" are all about.
What to do: Be honest: tell them that you realize that you don't know everything and that many on staff know more than you. But say you expect your experience in the other business will be helpful. "You need to get out there and talk to everyone and give them the message that you are out there learning and asking questions," Mr. Giarratana says. In meetings, tell people to feel free to ask questions and make suggestions. "People will love you for that because it shows that you are willing to learn and that they have a voice in the way that decisions will be made."
The challenge: Staff will worry that you will bring in a new team to replace current management, which could involve new hirings or people from your old company. In many instances, this will be true, he says. New CEOs usually bring in their own supporters, which means others will have to be displaced.
What to do: Mr. Giarratana suggests telling staff: "There are going to be no changes short-term, I am here to work with you as we develop strategy," which will give the message that you are looking for their involvement and input.
The challenge: If the previous leader was well liked, your new employees may think that you will never be able to measure up, or do things better.
What to do: Assemble your staff and spend the first five minutes talking about the tremendous responsibility you feel stepping into the shoes of the previous CEO and how you appreciate what he or she did with the company. Show respect, and ask if they have suggestions about what you can learn from your predecessor's initiatives and successes.
The challenge: Even if you've made no announcement about future plans, rest assured the rumour mill is alive and well about what your leadership might mean and how changes and new plans might put jobs at risk. "People will look at things you did at your previous company's management and what you usually do in terms of strategy," he notes.
What to do: At their first meetings with you, employees want to find out what kind of person you are and whether can they work with you. Talk about what you expect from them and the support they can expect from you. "The formula is to intertwine toughness about the goal and saying you are going to be leading the charge" and need their help and support. "People bond with those who admit they have concerns and worries and are willing to admit they don't have all the answers and are open to staff input."
The challenge: Someone in the company knows you from another company or didn't see eye to eye with you in encounters earlier in your career.
What to do: Call in the person for an individual chat. You may find time has healed wounds, and the person has changed. However, if the message that you want to work with him or her isn't taken to heart, he or she will have to understand that there may not be long-term opportunities for him or her in the organization.Report Typo/Error

Welcome to the online home of Rochester-based French-to-English literary translator Allison M. Charette. I focus on fiction and creative non-fiction from France and Madagascar. In addition, I provide other creative translation services, specializing in humanitarian aid, journalism, and marketing. I also edit and proofread translated texts from a variety of fields.
I helped to found the Emerging Literary Translators' Network in America. More info at ELTNA.org.
I currently serve on the board of the American Literary Translators Association as the Program Committee Chair. There's also a first-timers guide for attending the annual ALTA conference on the organization's blog.
May, 2017: Corporeal, an International Exquisite Corpse: a five-part story stitched together by five authors and five translators from all different languages. All this and more in the Spring/Summer '17 issue of SLICE magazine.
February 10, 2017: Women in Translation has a flash-freeze survey, a snapshot of things at the beginning of 2017. Here's mine.
January 4, 2017: Happy New Year from the New York Times! I translated a piece by Elise Turcotte in the Travel section to convince readers how wonderful Canada is to visit.
November 9 - 20, 2016: Naivo and I are honored to be in residence at the Translation Lab at the OMI International Arts Center in Ghent, NY. We're revising Beyond the Rice Fields, which will be the first novel from Madagascar translated into English, forthcoming next fall from Restless Books.
October 6 - 9, 2016: Another year, another wonderful ALTA conference. Hello, Oakland!
October 1, 2016: In honor of Halloween this month, Words Without Borders has a collection of ghost stories, including Johary Ravaloson's truly spooky "Water in the Rice Fields up to My Knees!" Another Madagascar translation out in the world!
July 1, 2016: Words Without Borders prints another translation of mine, but it's from Brazil this time. Hubert Tézenas' "Quipapá Gold" is part of their issue looking at the Olympic host nation beyond what's currently happening in Rio.
February 16, 2016: Back in NYC to talk about Breaking In (to the house of literary translation), a Bridge Series event at the Center for Fiction co-hosted by the PEN Translation Committee.
February 15, 2016: More translations of Malagasy literature! Tupelo Quarterly publishes an excerpt of Johary Ravaloson's Les larmes d'Ietsé in TQ9, filled with sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll -- although way more of the first two.
December 17, 2015: An excerpt of Naivo's grant-winning Au-delà des rizières is featured on the PEN blog, along with a brief introductory essay.
December 16, 2015: Another translation of Malagasy literature has hit this interwebs! This time, it's on a podcast -- The Other Stories podcast, to be precise -- where I read Bao Ralambo's 1969, followed by a rich discussion with host Ilana Masad about Madagascar and its literature.
December 14, 2015: Albertine Books, my favorite bookstore in NYC (I'm biased because I speak French), co-hosts a wonderful event with Words Without Borders. "The Conspiracists" celebrates Malagasy literature with special guests Naivo and myself being interviewed by editor Eric Becker, followed by extremely danceable music by Malagasy singer Razia Said. Madagascar's here to stay, folks!
December 1, 2015: Lots of Malagasy literature is finally out in English translation. I guest-edited the December issue of Words Without Borders, which has nine (nine!) translations from French- and Malagasy-language literature from my favorite island country. Go check it out -- it's online and free!
November 24, 2015: Apparently, I'm Madagascar's Literary Ambassador. Broadly says so. Ilana Masad interviewed me all about Malagasy literature for the Vice channel online.
October 28 - 31, 2015: I'm at the ALTA conference in Tucson. Come say hi!
