[Update: Some offers mentioned below have expired. For current terms and conditions, please see card agreements. Disclosure: Cards from our partners are mentioned below.]
Kmart unveiled its version of the increasingly popular prepaid debit card this week, but, following the nationwide rollout of Chase's game-changing Liquid, the product really doesn't stand out.
The Halogen Prepaid MasterCard, offered by Green Dot, carries a $5.95 monthly fee. Cardholders are charged $4.95 to load money onto the card at any retail store via Green Dot's Money Pack or $3.95 when loading the card via swipe at a Kmart store. ATM withdrawals within the MoneyPass network are free; out-of-network withdrawals cost $2.50 each. The card costs $3.95 to purchase at a Kmart store, but can be ordered online for free.
In many respects, the new card is pretty standard fare for prepaid products. The $5.95 monthly fee is in line with what Green Dot charges for its flagship product and you can certainly find products that have higher fee structures.

But when you start to drill down, the card really can't compete with the new prepaid products we are starting to see from banks and issuers. The aforementioned Chase Liquid, for instance, carries a lower $4.95 monthly fee and the card can be loaded for free at Chase ATMs and branches. American Express, which was really the first payments company to jump on the prepaid bandwagon, offers no monthly fee on its flagship card, and, instead, charges between $3.95 and $4.95 to reload.
Kmart defended the fee structure, saying not only were its price points in line with existing non-bank affiliated prepaid products, but that the threshold to have the fees waived had been intentionally set very low. Cardholders can avoid the monthly fee by loading at least $1,000 onto the Halogen card or making at least 30 purchases with your card during each billing cycle. There's also no charge to load the card via direct deposit.
These options are nice, but they're also really not anything to write home about. Mango Financial, for instance, actually credits its card's $5 monthly fee when a cardholder loads $500 onto it in a given month.

They also don't explain why Kmart wouldn't want to release a card that can compete with all existing products on the market, but Kmart spokeswoman Shannelle Armstrong says the store isn't going after the same demographic.
"This is a prepaid product used in an unbanked way," Armstrong said. "When a person has severed the relationship with a bank, they've done it for a real reason."
While the idea that people are looking for banking alternatives is certainly believable following last year's Bank Transfer Day, it remains to be seen whether consumers will discount any prepaid products simply because they are backed by a financial institution, especially since more banks can be expected to join the fold. Just yesterday, PNC Bank unveiled its own prepaid product with a fee structure very closely resembles Chase's Liquid.

Facebook has announced Britney's departure from Xfactor.
How Facebook works is truly mysterious, half the time. What appears to be coming from Britney Spears Facebook account, is NOT showing up on her timeline of postings. Thus, it was ONLY Facebook personnel who had made that posting. The "[?]" in the upper right-hand corner is what gives it away as a Facebook App. It is one of those top secret ways that Facebook works for famous people with 23 million likes.
But, for what it is worth, here is yet another indication that Britney Spears will be leaving Xfactor USA.
What it really means is probably NOT being disclosed. I could see, Britney, for example, NOT wanting to take a pay cut, or even Simon giving her the opportunity to leave gracefully before being fired. On the other hand, siting through all those auditions is extremely time consuming. Thus, it may be as advertised: Britney can make more money spending her time on releasing her 8th music album.
Perhaps, Carly Rose Sonenclar should take note? If she has NOT already, Carly Rose should sign up an agent to promote her while her Xfactor exposure is still fresh to the fickled public. Rather than reverting to taking voice lessons she should really hook up with some type of music album producer in order to get some type of tangible CD for the public to buy.
Even the Rolling Stones started out by singing other people's songs for the first few years. And, how about putting together a pop music band? Even if it is only a cover band, she needs to start promoting her songs in different music venues; while doing all the other options that a profit driven agent can come up with for Carly Rose.

text: Non-du·pli·ca·tion /nänˈdo͞opləˈkāshən/ – Noun: Intentionally avoiding redundant effort. Nonduplication is the third pillar of the Seven Pillar Methodology for Social Entrepreneurship. In a nutshell, the pillars are: vision, special skills, nonduplication, partnership, credit sharing, feedback and staying power.With non-duplication, the focus is on not adding redundant effort, but rather addressing a chasm where you are truly needed. However, non-duplication doesn't mean you have to reinvent the wheel. It's smart to look to the best practices of others. Let's say, if you were a wonderful baker of cookies, would you be smart to open your shop across the street from another very excellent baker of cookies? Perhaps you would be wise to look in another part of town. By non-duplication, we mean going to a neighborhood that needs you! The question we ask is, "what need isn't being met effectively, and where do I see myself jumping in?"Teachable Examples Here are three teachable examples. Educators may choose one or more of these, select their own examples, or an alternative example from our spreadsheet [PDF]:Lois Lee founder of Children of the Night rescues kids otherwise abandoned to the mean streets of prostitution, with a 24 hour hotline and a free taxi/airline for those who wish to escape. When she stepped in, there was nobody else in LA helping these kids. The women prostitutes asked her to help. She started hosting these kids in her own house. The whole area is fraught with stigma, so she was very brave to do so.Over fifty years ago – half a century – Peter Young stepped in to try to free people from the endless cycle of addiction and incarceration in New York, founding PYHIT.com. He was meeting a need, despite the stigma associated with this group. By implementing a three-pronged approach with treatment, housing and job training, he still helps many people become tax paying citizens with the dignity of a paycheck.Gary Oppenheimer noticed a disconnect – home gardeners were sometimes producing excess crops, while others were going hungry, and at the same time food pantries were primarily relying on dried and canned goods. He founded ampleharvest.org – a website – to connect home gardeners with the food pantries, helping those with an overabundance of fresh food share with those in great need.About these Pages Students, educators, nonprofit leaders… no matter where you are in your journey, The Elfenworks Foundation wants to help you to be successful with making a lasting, positive change. Educators, we hope this subpage helps you as you equip your students with this effective "life tool." It's useful in many realms beyond social entrepreneurship. See the book, entitled Intelligence & Compassion in Action; The Seven Pillars for Social Entrepreneurs for additional factors that influence staying power, and for teachable questions.

It's no surprise that H&M would want to jump at the chance to get on the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo bandwagon. The much anticipated movie is set to hit theaters December 21st, but H&M is trying to get fans geared up with their 30 piece collection designed by Trish Summerville (the film's costume designer).
This edgy, androgynous collection features leather jackets, pants, boots, as well as tribal earrings, ripped jeans and hoodies.
Personally, I think it's a little too 90's grunge. But they are a few pieces with potential that can be incorporated into your wardrobe for just that hint of toughness. What do you think?
The collection hits stores December 14.

Someone tweeted me this puzzler a couple of days ago (I forget who it was, apologies):
"If the square has side 2cm, what is the radius of the circle?"
I had a stab at it today and thought I'd share my process, which may well be awful, but as Bob Hoskins famously didn't quite say, "it's good to share"
My first thought was "it's a circle, I need a radius, where can I get one". So I drew in a few lines:
I know that where the dotted diagonal lines cross is the centre of the circle, and I drew in the bold black line because I know I can calculate it, which might come in handy.
I thought I better have a visual reminder of what lengths are equal, in the hope it might prompt a new thought:
Then I just stared at it for a while.
I couldn't visualise how calculating the black diagonal line would help me, even though I could do it. So I drew in another line as I thought about it:
Which helped me spot the blue arrow thing which kicked in a thought about circle theorems. At this point, note I didn't have a direction I was going in, I was just trying stuff out. Testing the waters to see where it's shallow. I thought about the circle theorem thing, and eventually decided against it, and ditched the idea. However, looking at the diagram with the two angles on it made me realise the direction I wanted to take:
I want to work with this triangle, because it has the radius (twice, bonus) as its side length, and I can use the length that I know I can calculate (the longest side of the green triangle, which was mentioned in the first diagram). So now all I need is the angles inside the green triangle and off I go. And to get those, I can use the big red bottom left triangle:
So now I have some ugly trig to work through:
[/insert elevator music whilst ugly trig is being worked through]
and out pops r = 1.25 cm.
The nice answer makes me suspect there's a far nicer approach to this. I'll ponder it some more.
*Update: A few people have sent me their approaches, which are predictably simpler than mine. Interestingly, some are asking why I 'chose to solve it in this complicated way'. I didn't choose to! This is where my first thoughts took me. Anyway, here are some alternative approaches:
And from the comments section:
"If you let the height of the square be r + h, where r is the radius of the circle and the width of the square to be 2w (w = 1), you can form a triangle with sides w and h and hypotenuse r. From here do a little Pythagoras and the answer of 1.25 drops out quite quickly. "

Business Concept
The G.I. Money Foundation will develop and support initiatives that focus on helping veterans who are pursuing a major in a STEM (science, technology, engineering or mathematics) field. This will help those veterans in many different aspects.
- It will provide assistance with navigating a veteran's path through college
- Create a mentoring program
- Work to secure stipends for education-related costs that are not covered by the various forms of the G.I. Bill
- Assist in researching opportunities
- Provide career-building educational resources and opportunities
- Educate Veterans on strategies for networking, connectivity and tutoring
The program will be designed to help Veterans in STEM earn their degrees and find employment in the STEM fields. It will also promote STEM career fields and increase the technical workforce for the security and continued growth of the United States.
Market Space Served
The Market served is educational. It addresses both students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) as well as Veterans.
Target Customers
Veterans that joined the military after High School and served honorably that are now enrolled at a University in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) related field.
Needs Addressed
Currently, there are several issues that need to be addressed. Veterans are struggling to integrate back into civilian life. They are finding it difficult to get jobs, or they are dropping out of college due to the particular challenges of completing it alone. This program will address that by persuading Veterans and military personnel to enroll in STEM majors, guiding them throughout their college careers, and insuring that they will have a secure, high paying job in this country upon completion of the program.

Life@Kobalt: Finding and Grooming the Future Stars of R&B and Hip-Hop with Al McLean
Tucked deep in Nielsen Music's Mid-Year Report is a very important nugget, one that profoundly alters the way we look at the music industry as a whole in 2017 — "For the first time in Nielsen Music history, R&B/Hip-Hop has become the largest share of overall volume." This shouldn't really be too surprising; just look at the biggest songs and albums of the year. It's a major turning point for the industry – as streaming grows in popularity, so too does R&B/hip-hop genre.
But as the music landscape shifts toward the urban market, Kobalt's own Al "Butter" McLean, a music industry veteran who once co-managed Alicia Keys and helped get Jennifer Lopez signed to her first major label, has been ahead of the curve for years. In his eleven years as the Senior Vice President of Creative at Kobalt, he's signed and worked with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Noah "40" Shebib, Frank Kirklin, Machine Gun Kelly, Mike WiLL Made-It, and more. By solely promoting admin deals, flexing his personal relationships, and never holding back his infectious personality, McLean's leadership at Kobalt has led to loads of chart successes and awards, including four Grammys and nine ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards this year alone.
While McLean has signed and worked with a ton of today's rap/R&B gods, he's also a huge champion of supporting and educating up-and-coming creatives about the music business, firsthand. Noticing a trend, he opened a Kobalt office in Atlanta, right in the heart of the hip hop community, where he would be in direct contact with the next big things. Because of this, McLean is at the forefront of rap's new independent movement, ensuring that Kobalt is ready to evolve with the urban genre as it becomes even more prevalent in American music. Under McLean's leadership, Kobalt isn't caught off guard by the Nielsen Music news, it's helping drive the change itself.
Q: There's been a bigger push for rap and R&B at Kobalt lately. You've been here for 11 years. What was it like when you first came in as opposed to now?
McLean: Kobalt was such a new idea in the music business at the time and had such a fresh angle. We were offering things that just weren't commonplace in the music business 11 years ago.
We were not offering advances and just doing admin deals and offering transparency, instead of the traditional (most of the time no-way-out, "Trust Tony") co-publishing deals. At the time, we didn't have a lot of bands – a lot of people — the old music guard — weren't cool with what we were doing and they didn't understand it. After a while, after momentum and some success stories, it became a snowball going down Mt. Everest. Between now and then, it's just awareness – we've awoken everybody.
Q: You're involved with educating the artists themselves in Atlanta about how the music business works. As the genre gets more DIY with Soundcloud rap – as long as that's around – how does your role become even more important? What do you talk about when you talk to these artists?
McLean: It depends on the particular artist. First, I really go out and find out what they want and what's their concern and what's their perception of what they want and what we do. I let them air out what they want, their worries, and their concerns and I address them. Then I introduce Kobalt and what we do and how we can help. I think Kobalt is built for this new independent movement. We're right on time with the growth and we've aligned ourselves with some great companies like Reach Records, Empire Distribution, T.I.G. 7, and Slip n' Slide Records and we're empowering and doing the administration for them.
Down here [in Atlanta], I'm teaching about the benefits of Kobalt, but I'm also empowering these guys to do their own thing and to build up their own companies and have us be their platform. In the past, other companies have been coming in, giving them a check and leaving them. They had no way of knowing what was going on and it let us be the saviors. These kids now want to be independent; they just need a trustworthy platform and we've proven and shown that we are the best.
I teach and believe in the Kobalt Holy Grail: transparency, creativity, client control, and accurate accounting. There are no boundaries at Kobalt and I urge clients to push it. They will be supported creatively and our world creative team is amazing.
Q: As rap becomes more independent, where do you guys fit in? It's really cool that you're going out there and teaching new artists that can somehow put together a few beats and blow up on Soundcloud and showing them how to maintain that success and monetize it.
McLean: In their hoods, they have their own little communities and because of our platform, they are nurturing the next ones. We teach them how to do it right and develop streams of revenue to keep them out of the streets and clean them up and keep them as successful as they are now. With Migos successful here and all of these other urban guys like Young Thug, they're all down here creating their own lane and they just need a spot where they can trust in the data and monetization.
Q: You worked out of New York for a while, but you've since moved to Atlanta, which is now the center for rap and possibly American music at the moment.
McLean: I've got to think that Willard [Ahdritz], Sas [Metcalfe], Richard [Thompson] and Richard [Sanders] at the time supported the idea. Everybody wants to rush to LA, which is great because there's a lot of creatives there, but I thought that for us to really take a heavy step in urban music, which we were OK in at the time, I recommended that we come here and let me open up the office.
Sending me down to Atlanta was kind of risky but I knew what I could do and I knew the opportunity that it was and they backed me. We cracked ground, got moving, and it's nothing but going uphill now.
Q: What do you have coming up next in the coming few months?
McLean: We're going to kill the charts again. It's my goal to be 1 through 20 on the charts. If we can have a writer/artist on the charts 1-20, I'll take the day off!
Q: You guys had four Grammys last year, but this year will be even bigger!
McLean: This year, we're going to tear 'em up. I think [Mike] Will and Noah "40" Shebib are going to do their thing this year and win a lot of awards. They believe in what we're selling. We're doing a lot of great stuff in gospel as well too, which I started. It's my goal to get everybody. Free the world! Admin only!
Q: Last question: how did you get your nickname?
McLean: It was [Alicia Keys'] idea. I was producing a track and she came in and was like, "oh that's butter!" I said, "Wow that could be a good nickname!" I went to high school with Puffy and we're good friends. I said, "If he's got a nickname, I need a nickname!" She said, "Butter because you always come up with these hot tracks! You make music fat with flavor."

Juneau Update
2015 End of Session Report
Legislative Consultants in Alaska (Wendy Chamberlain)
May 6, 2015
Today is May 6, 2015….. 16 days past the scheduled adjournment date and the Legislature remains in a special session. Governor Walker wasted no time issuing a proclamation calling the Legislature back into a special after they failed to reach agreement to fully fund the FY 2016 operating budget. The Governor listed three key issues he wants addressed; the operating budget, Medicaid expansion/reform and a bill dealing with sexual assault prevention and awareness in school (Erin's law). The Legislature recessed two days later announcing both bodies would return to Juneau May 12, 2015 to take up the budget and possibly Medicaid. Meanwhile, the House and Senate Finance Committees continue working on the budget but no compromise has been reached at this time.
The first session of the 29th Alaska Legislature adjourned at 7 PM on Monday, April 25, 2015, six days after the scheduled adjournment date of April 19th. The dramatic dropped in oil prices posed significant challenges for both Republicans and Democrats in the Legislature. Facing a $3.9 billion shortfall for FY 15 and $3.2 billion for FY16, the Republican led Senate and House reduced the operating budget by approximately $850 million over current year spending. Minority members in both bodies strongly objected to the size of the reductions to Education, Medicaid, union contracts, domestic violence, Alaska Marine highway system and the University of Alaska. The state currently has approximately $12 billion in the Constitutional Budget Reserve (CBR); however accessing the CBR requires a 3/4 vote by the members of both bodies. The Senate has that number in their majority, but the House is 4 members short. So far, the 13-member House Democratic minority remains steadfast in their demands to have funding restored to the operating budget and approval of Medicaid expansion before supporting the budget.
Alaska has not had an income or sales tax since the early 80's and in fact we have a "negative tax", giving each member of the public a dividend each year from oil royalties. The public also seems loath to accept any taxes or giving up their dividend until state government has been reduced to a more sustainable level. While the reductions this year are significant (over $850 million) most of those cuts are the "low-hanging fruit" that won't cause much reaction. Budget cuts will be MUCH more difficult when the legislature returns next year. Their challenge will be making reductions that don't cause the state's economy to go into a tail-spin.
The Governor introduced his budget with Medicaid Expansion funding included, however the Legislature removed this funding and inserted language stating the Administration cannot take action on Medicaid without full legislative approval. The Legislature wants to see major reforms within the Medicaid program before looking at expansion. Both the Legislature and Administration are procuring consultants to assist in the analysis of expansion and reform.
While much attention was devoted to the state's fiscal crisis and reducing spending during the Session, both the Legislature and Governor will be looking at new or expanded revenue sources over the Interim. The Governor has stated that there may likely be a Special Session devoted to this topic as well.
Operating Budget
In July, 2014 oil prices averaged $127/barrel, however prices plummeted to below $60/barrel this year (2015). The State forecasts $2.2 billion in unrestricted general funds for both FY 15 and FY 16. That represents an approximate $4.0 billion dollar shortfall for the two fiscal years.
The Legislature made cuts in almost every department, some as much as 34%. Among the largest cuts are Education, Health and Social Services, Community Jails, Revenue Sharing, Alaska Marine Highway, DOT maintenance and the University of Alaska. The cuts represent approximately $830 million decrease in spending. At this level the Statutory Budget Reserve has been depleted and a draw from the Constitutional Budget Reserve (the State's savings account) is required to balance the FY16 budget.
Municipal Revenue Sharing
Municipal Revenue Sharing was funded at approximately $53 million, however this amount did not capitalize the fund (essentially forward funding). Communities will see a reduction of approximately 7 percent in FY 2016 over their FY 2015 disbursement. The bleak revenue picture is likely to continue to impact revenue sharing and without forward funding this account will be drawn down in 3 years.
Education Funding
The most controversial issue this session was education funding.
The total reduction to the Education budget was significant – $49 million. This translates to approximately $192 in the base student allocation (BSA). In addition to the cuts primarily outside the foundation formula funding of $32 million proposed by the Governor (pre-kindergarten programs such as Best Beginnings, Parents-as-Teachers, and other programs like ANSWERS, the Online with Libraries, Live Homework Help, Statewide Literacy Program — $5 million dollar broadband expansion) the Legislature cut an additional $16 million from the Base Student Allocation. To help offset the deficit the forward funding of education has also been discontinued in the current budget.
A Legislative report on school funding will be released in the coming months and will be the topic of future discussions on how the state funds education.
Ketchikan Gateway Borough Lawsuit on Local Contribution to Education Funding
Yet to be settled is the litigation brought by the Ketchikan Gateway Borough. Fairbanks North Star Borough recently filed an amicus brief in support of Ketchikan. The Ketchikan suit claims that the State unfairly discriminated against 1st Class cities and organized boroughs by requiring a local contribution to education funding. Last year, the State appropriated $1.4 billion to fund education; $230 million of that amount came from the local contribution. In January, 2015 the Superior Court agreed with the Ketchikan Gateway Borough – the state's required local contribution for public education violates the Alaska Constitution – in essence a dedicated tax precluded by the Alaska Constitution. Governor Walker is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court. Should Ketchikan prevail, the Legislature will have to fill an approximate $230 million hole in funding.
Capital Budget
Capital spending was reduced considerably from last year. The $1.5 billion Capital Budget contains approximately $122 million in unrestricted general funds, $117 million in other and designated general funds, and $1.3 billion of federal funds. Of note, the last school construction project required under the Kasayulie Settlement was included by the Legislature for Kivalina in the amount of $43 million. School Major maintenance funding was added at $2.6 million.
Renewable Energy Project Grants through AEA for Round 8 projects were funded at $11.5 million. Village Safe water and wastewater infrastructure projects were funded at $51.5 million state and federal funds. Ambler Airport Improvements project received $2.5 million
Federal receipt authority for the Juneau Access and Knik Arm Bridge Crossing projects was added back in the budget. Earlier this year the Walker Administration issued an Administrative order halting six mega projects from making any new expenditures. This federal receipt authority allows these two projects to continue…for now. Kotzebue Cape Blossom Road was appropriated $33 million.
New Revenue Measures:
While the Session primarily focused on reducing spending, both the Governor and the Legislature stated they intend to devote a considerable amount of time during the interim to looking at expanding new and existing revenue sources. Several pieces of legislation have already been introduced and could become part of the conversation:
- HB 174 Oil and Gas Production Taxes; Credits (SB 96)
- HB 182 Individual Income Tax and Tax Credits
- HB 191 Oil and Gas Corporate Taxes
- HB 208 Community Revenue Sharing
- SB 97 Employment Tax for Education
In addition to the tax legislation already introduced, two separate measures have been offered to begin the discussion of using Permanent Fund Earnings for state operating expenses.
- HJR 2 Constitutional Amendment: Permanent Fund Percent of Market Value (POMV)
- SB 114 Deposits into the Dividend Fund
Out of the 329 bills introduced –43 passed and are awaiting action by the Governor. Of some note were:
HB 123 Marijuana Control Board

Bills of note that did not pass, but will remain available for next Session:
Marijuana Regulation
With Prop 2 passing in November personal use and possession of 1 oz. of marijuana became legal on February 24, 2015. The Legislature held multiple hearings on decriminalization, regulation, and municipal oversight during the Session. While HB 123 – creating the new Marijuana Control Board passed, several other bills remain in committees to be taken up next year.
Decriminalization –
HB 79 and SB 30 were introduced to decriminalize the possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana as approved by voters in November. The Legislature had intended to pass the bill prior to February 24th, however neither bill has passed out of it's own body.
Commercial Regulation –
HB 75 was introduced by the House Community and Regional Affairs Committee to provide more clarity to the role of local communities and municipal control in the regulation of retail or commercial marijuana.
Creation of Regulatory Structures –
HB 133 and SB 62 were introduced to further define areas of regulation for commercial or retail marijuana such as marketing, licensing, packaging, labeling, testing and serving sizes of products such as edible marijuana.
HB 59 was introduced by Rep. Seaton to allow for a delay by no more than a year, the promulgation of regulations for commercial or retail marijuana.
Medicaid Reform/Expansion
Medicaid Expansion has been the topic of many presentations before various committees this Session. The Administration's budget contained provisions allowing for Medicaid expansion and authorizing the state to accept $145 million in federal funding while cutting some $6 million in state funding.
The Administration anticipates approximately $6.6 million in state savings would be realized by new federal Medicaid funding. Of that savings, $4 million is expected to come from the Department of Corrections budget for health care costs for inmates. The rest of the savings would come from Chronic and Acute Medical Assistance and reductions to the mental health provider grants, approximately $1.5 million.
The Legislature requested the Governor introduce a bill to expand the Medicaid program and offer reform measures to the existing program. Medicaid currently costs approximately $600 million annually.
SB 78 and HB 148 Medicaid Expansion bills – and HB 190 and SB 74 Medicaid Reform bills – are all in their respective Finance Committees.
HB 148 Medical Assistance Coverage; Reform
- Authorizes the state to expand the Medicaid program and engage in Medicaid cost containment reforms including expanding the use of waivers, pilot projects, and expansion of telemedicine practices.
- Allows for a "1115 Waiver" that gives the state flexibility to design it's own Medicaid program. This waiver will allow the state to increase utilization of tribal health services and allow these organizations to take over management of numerous functions including transportation to and from rural areas. The state anticipates this will save $80 – $150 annually.
- 1915(i) and 1915(k) options allow the state to create its' own guidelines for home and community-based services. This will allow the state to set thresholds for qualifications, service limits, and can include home health aides, adult day care, respite care and assistance for those with chronic mental illnesses.
Medicaid Provider Tax
HB 148 and SB 78 Medicaid Expansion — contain language directing the Department of Health and Social Services, after consulting with stakeholders, to submit to the Legislature not later than January 25, 2016, a proposal to authorize a provider tax up to the maximum extent allowed by federal law to offset some of the cost of the Medicaid program. The Department is directed to contract with an independent third party to advise the Department during the development of the tax proposal.
SB 74 Medicaid Reform/PFD/HSAS/ER Use/Studies
- Enhances fraud prevention and enforcement,
- Proposes to reduce the cost of the state's home and community-based services with a new waiver program,
- Managed care pilot program for Denali Kid Care,
- Payment redesign to streamline the process, eliminate billing and payment irregularities and errors.
- Expands the use of telemedicine for primary and urgent care for Medicaid recipients,
- Directs the state to conduct studies for options to privatize the Alaska Psychiatric Institute, Alaska Pioneer Homes, and certain facilities of the Division of Juvenile Justice for cost savings. This also includes assessing the possibility of turning over certain DJJ facilities to local tribes in order to create a residential psychiatric treatment center allowing for it to be shifted from a general fund program to a Medicaid reimbursable program.
SB 6 – Daylight Savings Time
- Authorizes the Governor to petition the U.S. Department of Transportation to hold hearings in Alaska on whether Alaska should return to multiple time zones.
- If the USDOT does not act on that and leaves Alaska Standard Time in place, SB 6 would end the switch to daylight saving time for Alaskans as of Jan. 1, 2017.
SB 22 Motor Vehicle Registration Tax
- The bill reduces the percentage of the tax revenue the state can retain from the current 8% to 5%, thereby returning more tax revenue to the municipalities. If passed the bill would become effective July 1.
SB 76 Real Estate Brokers; Liability
- Makes clear the Legislature's intent that civil actions against real estate licensees arising out of failure to comply with law are limited to the recovery of actual damages.
- Retroactive to January 1, 1991.
HB 47 PERS Contributions by Municipalities
- Alters the interest rate on delinquent payments to the PERS system for those municipalities whose populations decreased by more than 25 percent between 2000 and 2010.
- HB 78 was introduced to provide a standard for utilities in purchasing power from independent producers.
- Purchases of power from independent power producers is common in all other states and the price is set at the highest "avoided cost." Alaska is alone among the states in allowing utilities to base their offers on the average cost.
HB 118 Muni Energy Improvement Assessments/Bonds
- The intent of the bill is to allow local governments to establish property assessed clean energy programs incentivizing property owners to finance for the purpose of energy efficiency upgrades.
- Allows businesses to finance energy efficiency upgrades to existing commercial businesses
- Allows municipal property tax assessment to be used to repay the municipal bonds.
HB 181 Prescription Without Physical Examination

Eighth Army celebrates civil rights leader's legacy
Yongsan, South Korea - "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."
Quotes like these and his work during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s made Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a leader and the inspiration for millions of people in the U.S. and around the world. King was a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement who led nonviolent resistances against racial discrimination within the American society in 1950s and 60s. He was later awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964 in recognition of his dedication to the human rights campaign.
Every year we pay a tribute to King in honor of his efforts to realize justice and race equality.
During this year's birthday observance, hosted by 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, members of the Eighth Army community gathered to celebrate King's birthday and legacy at the Dragon Hill Lodge on U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, South Korea, Jan. 12.
This year's event honored King's principals with the theme of "Remember! Celebrate! Act! A day on, not a day off."
Eighth Army Commanding General, Thomas S. Vandal showed his respect for King through a message that stressed the importance of diversity and the capacity to embrace it.
"His accomplishments during those times of intense adversity not only shaped and defined the Civil Rights Movement, but also the U.S. Army's legacy as an organization that embraces diversity and equality for all," said vandal. "We all have benefitted and we are also stewards of the ideals that Dr. King championed. Our nation is strong because of its diversity, and as Dr. King understood, we are stronger when we stand together."
Sgt. Maj. Willie T. Grandison Jr., Eighth Army personnel senior enlisted advisor, served as the guest speaker for the event.
"This holiday honors the courage of a man who endured constant harassment, threats, beatings and was jailed more than 30 times and even had his home burned down," Grandison said. "But yet he never gave up the fight for justice and equality. We should all strive to exemplify Dr. King's life which stood for civil rights and justice for all people."
Additionally, students from Area II schools held an MLK essay competition and the best essay was chosen from each grade. Lika Sylla, the Eighth-grade winner from Seoul Middle School, said King's speeches had a strong personal impact on her.
"King said 'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,'" Sylla said. "It leads me to be vocal about subjects that are important and yet everyone around me is oblivious to."
According to Sgt. 1st Class Kevin Woods, an equal opportunity advisor with 501st MI Bde., the competition was intended to let the younger generation appreciate King's life and what he left for us.
"We wanted to bring students in so they can all be part of this celebration and express what Martin Luther King Jr. means to them," Woods said. "And Martin Luther King's accomplishments and legacy will never fade thanks in part to celebrations like the one held at the Dragon Hill Lodge."

Posted: Sep 15, 2016
BROCKTON, Mass. ---- Shelby Sprague (Stoughton) netted a career-high six goals as the Massasoit women's soccer team picked up its first win of the season in convincing fashion, defeating Bunker Hill CC 9-0 on Thursday afternoon at Warrior Field.
Sprague scored all of Massasoit's (1-2) four goals in the opening stanza and added two more after intermission.
Midfielder Krista Woodworth (Norton) netted a goal and a trio of assists, while Kelly Cronin (Weymouth) chipped in with a pair of goals in the win. Noelle Moliere (Brockton) added two assists for the Warriors, which travel to Holyoke CC on Saturday.
Cronin and Courtney Foley (Holbrook) combined on the shutout in goal as the Bulldogs did not register a shot against the Massasoit defense.

That's right, grappler. BJJ games are advancing and developing at a blistering pace. So fast, your sloppy DLR to berimbolo in its current fetal stage will become passe before you actually get good at it. Yeah. It's like that.
Case in point - this adaptation of/modification to the the x-guard developed by Lucio "Lagarto" Rodrigues (2011 European gold medalist, Super Heavy) which he apparently designed to add more control to his x-guard. I'm not much of an x-guard player (which is to say, I never play this game), but this is pretty fancy, yet very smart, stuff. Watch him break it down for his students in the vids below produced by GrappleVideos.
Oh, and if you have any doubts about this guard's effectiveness, check out last year's final at the European between Lagarto and RLJr. He works this guard right around 2:40!

I have previously covered my 5th-great-grandfather Henry Davis in several posts, including recently his service in the War of 1812 and the arrival of the family in Vermilion County, Illinois in 1835 and 1836. For the Davises to buy up so much land in Illinois they had to sell off their property in Ohio. Yesterday I received a copy of several land transfers in Guernsey County, Ohio from 1836, showing that Henry did sell off his property before moving to Illinois.
Sales to Alexander Mackey and Vincent Corkins
On 28 March 1836, Henry and Rachel Davis sold off the land of his original land patent in the southwest corner of township 9 in Guernsey County to Alexander Mackey for $1200. Henry and Rachel made a second sale on the same day to Vincent Corkins of Guernsey County for $3303 for the west half of section 6, township 9 in Guernsey County, containing 275 acres. The sale to Corkins was also witnessed by the 4th-great-grandmother Jane Conner Davis.
I owe thanks to the Guernsey County Recorder's Office, who responded to my request in one day and sent a copy of the land transfer by email.

Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe didn't let being pregnant stand in her way of attending lavish events, covering magazines or dressing the rich and famous. In fact, the fashion guru hid her baby bump so discretely that it was almost impossible to tell she had a bun in the oven. Maybe Rachel will slow down a bit to enjoy her new bundle of joy—she gave birth to son Skylar Morrison Berman earlier last week.
Whether or not the fashionista turned reality star takes a break from her hectic styling schedule, it's safe to say that her baby boy will most likely be the trendiest munchkin on the block.

For a while, I have been meaning to say hello with a meaningful post and after noticing the new wave of fellow planners arriving at high speed, with so many questions, curiosity to learn the tricks, the names, the deets, the shops, the DIY's, the scope on everything planner related, I realized that the opportunity to reach out came to me in the manner of writing a post about the super famed TN.
What is a TN? A TN stands for Traveler's Notebook. Also known as a Midori, per the Japanese brand where the traveler's notebook originated from. A TN is a cover (usually made of leather) with elastic bands, which holds notebooks inside. Additionally, it comes with another elastic band to hold the notebook closed. Due to its compact and smaller size, the TN has been a companion of traveler's, journalists, engineers, architects, students and for the last 3-4 years, it has found a niche in the planning world.
Planners from around the world have massively shown their love for this new planning "system" and it is certainly here to stay! I have personally witnessed how the trend took off with small companies coming to light with new and different options of leather TNs and now larger craft suppliers, such as Michael's, JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby, have joined the party, to make it in a very competitive market and adding to the oh so many options on designs, colors, materials, and sizes, so that if you are in the market for one of these, you are going to have a tough time deciding on what to get and if you are like me, you will end up buying more than one because...you know...they are sooooo pretty!!
That takes me to discuss the next important factor about TN: Besides being so trendy, they come in different sizes and not what you would think. I recently attended a Planner Meetup and was introduced to a "Micro". A Micro has the size of a wallet and it is a favorite amongst fellow planners peeps. Due to the high demands, TNs' makers have been creating different sizes of the notebook to cater to the different designs of inserts, dahsboards and books that are available to fill-up the TN. Here is the list that I have been using as the guide to create the dashboards/folders:
Micro - Fits Inserts 3" x 4"
Passport - Fits Inserts 3.4" x 4.9"
Pocket - Fits Inserts 3.5" x 5.5"
A6 - Fits Inserts 4"x6"
Personal - Fits Inserts 3.75" x 6.5
B6 - Fits Inserts 5" x 7"
Standard - Fits Inserts 4.5" x 8.25"
Wide - Fits Inserts 5" x 8.25"
The most popular sizes are the Personal, the Standard and the B6, which are in the middle of the chart. The Micro could be used as a wallet and the Passport and Pocket are next but still in smaller sizes, which makes them great because they fit in purses. When trying to decide, you will also have to figure out if you want a wider or regular width on the spine and that all depends on how "chunky" you want it and how many inserts you are hoping to fit in it. If you are still undecided or still shopping around to buy your new TN, I really wish you luck in finding the best option that works for you.

Postcards from Italy8:03 PM
Lace top: Vintage
Skirt: H&M
Creepers: Local Store
Not an everyday look for the "week in outfits", that's real! But it's saturday :D I fell free to wear these pieces together.
The skirt is one of the basic clothes of H&M, always there in the store, so simple and ready to be combinated with something which could rock them. So I decided to use this white vintage top with lace: the front is just simple, but the back is almost just lace! I find it so classy (even if I'm not usually classy haha)
The title of the post is a song from the band Beirut.. Doesn't this outfit reminds you of something retro of an italian woman, maybe in sicily? Something like D&G's italian style actually, but in my way (as you can see with the Creepers!)

My View
Cape Cod Times
September 5, 2014
Cape water supply a top priority
By Vinny deMacedo
More than 80 percent of the wastewater produced by homes and businesses on Cape Cod use on-site septic systems, which eventually drain into ground water that travels through our watersheds to coastal areas.
As a result, the volume of nutrients entering the Cape's coastal waters and freshwater ponds has significantly increased over the last several decades as the population has increased. These nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, are damaging the majority of Cape Cod estuaries and freshwater ponds.
In the 1980s, the problem worsened when federal funding for wastewater infrastructure was eliminated. The construction grants program had previously funded up to 85 percent of the capital costs for the planning and construction of wastewater systems. While the science is solid and the increasing damage is clear, a workable solution has been more difficult to define and implement.
The Cape Cod Commission has been working closely with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to update the 1978 Section 208 Water Quality Plan for Cape Cod. As an integral part of its approach, the Cape Cod Commission is working to integrate 35 years of information into a stakeholder-driven process.
Their goal is to produce a feasible and affordable areawide planning level document to address this critical problem. In response to these escalating environmental concerns, many Cape towns have already developed Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plans for their respective communities.
As state senator, I will use all available resources to ensure that the Cape Cod Commission, residents, businesses, town, state and federal officials, and technical and scientific experts have all of the tools they need to address this important issue.
I understand that each of the Cape's watersheds have unique hydrogeologic features. I also realize there are many proven and emerging technologies that can help mitigate further wastewater discharge.
But, as state senator, my job is not to tell towns and residents what technology to use. My role instead is to help communities and residents get the resources they need to help solve this problem in an affordable manner on a town-by-town basis in collaboration with area-wide and Cape-wide planning.
I believe a large majority of Cape residents realize there is a problem and share my concern that if we fail to act we will further jeopardize our precious environment, negatively impacting everything from our vital tourism economy to public health to the values of homes.
Beyond its unmatched beauty, Cape Cod is truly unique in many respects.
County government, the Cape Cod Commission, local towns and many residents have been actively and effectively involved in working on a solution to this escalating wastewater problem for decades. I believe the decisions should remain at the local level and that it is imperative that they also must be affordable. As state senator, my job will be to work tirelessly to get the resources residents, local towns and the Cape Cod Commission need to restore and protect watersheds and water quality across Cape Cod.
State Rep. Vinny deMacedo, R-Plymouth, is running for the Plymouth/Barnstable state Senate seat being vacated by Therese Murray.

Severe thunderstorm threat this evening.
Severe storms are possible in Worcester County until 9pm as a cluster of powerful storms moves into the Commonwealth.
More stable (read: detrimental to thunderstorms) air is across Greater Boston, so those storms should weaken as they move out of Greater Worcester.
In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
Timing on all these storms brings them to Central & Eastern Mass. by 8-10pm. Keep an eye to the sky as these storms have a history of large (1" or greater) hail and damaging winds.
In other news, it felt like an eternity since we've seen the sun, so when it came out today, the tweets and the posts to facebook started rolling in.
"What's this bright thing in the sky?"
"Something resembling the sun in Waltham."
We're getting a break in the pattern - albeit briefly - to squeeze in a few sunny days. Tomorrow through Saturday look pretty nice. There may be an outside chance at a gusty, quick shower/storm tomorrow, but it's bright....and warm. Cooler air comes in Friday and for the weekend, with another sizeable rain-maker coming for late Sunday and into next week.
'Blah' is the operative weather word (yes, I could use something stronger) for this stubborn, cool pattern.

(World Fair St. Louis 1904)
Not The Big City
The Home Town
Of Ideas
John Fraim
Our culture (that is Western Culture) is so oriented towards the end product the input into the end product is often overlooked and even disappears altogether. The final product simply seems to appear like the genie in the TV commercials and there is little interest on where this particular genie comes from. The hometown of our personal genie or muse, so to speak. The origination of the ideas we get for various writing projects. How writing projects are related to our personal life cycles. As well as our current goals and beliefs and missions in life. Our politics. Our religion. Based on this, how we accept and process new ideas. Into literature in our case.
Yet it should be the case studied more and more with artists. Not the final products but how certain muses and impulses separated themselves from others at particular points in time and made the art spirit in us pursue them. For me, I am sure that there are many Jungian forces at work on the artist. Such as connections into what Jung called the "collective unconsciousness" of one's time. Jung felt that a culture at a particular point in time possesses a "collective unconsciousness" or general attitude or zeitgeist, or archetype, or perhaps emotion.
The real artist in culture does not create as much as feel this particular attitude of his or her times. This zeitgeist. The true artist is in touch with this general symbol of their times, one might say.
It is interesting how projects started in the past compete for my attention each day. There are many of these projects out there. Not finished. Waiting to be started up again. Worried about being abandoned.
A few recent ones are perhaps worth a mention.
* * *
Spirit Catcher – Taking my book on John Coltrane to a screenplay. This project was started about six months ago with a contact to the leading John Coltrane scholar in America Lewis Porter. He agreed that a Coltrane movie would be interesting. One was attempted at one time but had been dropped. We would stay in touch. I began to write a screenplay in Final Draft 8. It was based on Coltrane's life from about 1954 to 1967. Mostly, scenes from my book Spirit Catcher. Yet reviewed by Lewis Porter was my hope.
I began to think of the powerful voice of Coltrane's apprentice, McCoy Tyner. The story seemed to end in some sense with the death of Trane in 1967 yet the story also seemed to go on through the life and music of McCoy Tyner who carried on the flame of John Coltrane, carried it into the new world. No one, to my knowledge had ever written a biography on McCoy Tyner's music and life. It was Tyner's Inner Voices that powerfully pulled me back into jazz in 1978. So, the project floats around in the bay of my mind. Not subject to too many winds. Just sitting there. Waiting to be called up somewhat like Joseph Conrad called up his old crew in is his book The Rescue after all the years.
* * *
A Lost Mission – A novella written in one week over Christmas of 2014 in Ohio. I wasn't planning on writing anything when I went back to Columbus, Ohio to spend the Christmas holidays with my in-laws. I had bought a book called The Big Knockover by Dashiell Hammett and read the stories with much interest. All written in the 1920s during the rise of his writing. In Columbus I bought The Continental Op, another collection of his stories from the 1920s. I read Red Harvest and re-reread Maltese Falcon. The result of reading these was a chapter that started at a filling station in the middle of the Nevada desert with a detective chasing the daughter of a Salt Lake City billionaire who has disappeared. The novella Lost Mission is 25,000 words and takes place in San Francisco. The novella The Lost Mission post is available on this web site by hitting that title in the archive to the right.
* * *
Milestones – After the Paris terrorism events, I thought about my book Battle of Symbols written right after 9/11 and published in 2003 by the Swiss publisher Daimon Verlag (Zurich). The book is about the conflicting symbols of the east and west. One of the major books I discovered while researching my book was Milestones written by Sayyid Qutb. The author spent the years 1948 – 1950 living in America.
Many have written about his two years in America and how that might have molded Qutb's thinking and ultimately radical Islamic thought responsible for acts like the Paris events of January 2015. The most enlightening account of Qutb's two years in America is the first chapter in the Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright. The chapter titled THE MARTYR is a powerful piece of writing and led me to wonder if his trip had ever been put into a dramatic context such as a novel or screenplay. I wrote Lawrence Wright and he wrote back, "Honestly, I don't think Qutb's trip has ever been rendered dramatically. It could be quite interesting, I agree." We'll see what happens with this project.
* * *
The Journey – An idea that developed from a short clip called THE JOURNEY on ESPN I saw on Monday, January 12th, a few hours before the National Championship Football Game between Ohio State and Oregon. It is about a fourteen-year old boy who has the disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Jacob is not expected to live much longer than his twenties. He has become the official mascot of the amazing Buckeye team this year. He attends all the practices. Travels with the team to games. Attends their meetings. Is wheeled out on the field as an honorary co-captain in one of their games. There is a video shot in the ESPN film with the young boy breaking-up in tears in the OSU locker room and than hugged by coach Urban Meyers.
My idea is to write a story narrated by a young man like the boy in the story about his amazing journey with the football team. Perhaps the boy is keeping a journal about his travels with the football team. They mix with his observations about life.
* * *
Anyway, some of the (over noisy) ideas hanging out in the "home town" area of my mind, not yet created into a product and still just ideas. Not the final "big city" of a completed product but the "home town" of where completed products come from.
A major shift in perspective is required for western culture to concern itself with internal inputs for literature rather than external products of literature. It is more than a matter of argument about the final content of a literary product but rather a focus on an early step in the creation of a literary product.
