4. | bankster | ||
all the the CEOs of banks like goldman-sachs, AIG,who lined their own pockets first, when the economy was starting to crumble, then foreclosed on small town america we can't get a line of credit from the bank anymore, the banksters are keeping it for themselves.
1. | bankster | ||
A portmanteau or blend word derived from combining "banker" and "gangster." Usually referred to in the plural form "banksters" to refer to a predatory element within the financial services industry, such as those offering "too good to be true" adjustable mortgage rates for home buyers "The banksters just foreclosed on my mom's Mcmansion, and now she's living in her SUV."
2. | Bankster | ||
A portmanteau of "banker" and "gangster", popularized by (among others) the economist Murray N. Rothbard, used by him to attack what he held to be the inherently fraudulent nature of Fractional-Reserve banking (as opposed to 100% gold reserve banking, which he defended as the only honest form of banking). Frequently used in reference to The Fed. In more recent popular usage, often refers in a vague way to the forces of "Wall Street", or to those persons in the financial services industry who grow rich despite the continued impoverishment of those who depend on their services, and despite their apparent inability to succeed in business without constant government assistance. "The Fed is an organized cartel of banksters, who are creating inflation, ripping off the public, destroying the savings of the average American."
"The banksters crashed the economy, but thanks to generous federal bailouts, they won't have to sacrifice their fat bonuses." |
3. | Bankster | ||
A portmanteau of the words "banker" and "gangster." These are intergral to the capitalist system. While the nightly news might have you believe that young black and latino men with 9mm's are the biggest threat to your life, banksters are far more dangerous. While a gangster might steal your posessions with a knife or a gun, a bankster will steal your possesiions with a pen, paper and "legal" (read "unjust") mumbo-jumbo snakeoil bullshit. Bankster: Any member of the financial services industry; primarilly interested with the welfare of the capitalist class and their lackeys.
5. | Bankster | ||
A portmanteau of "Banksy" and "gangster" meaning a person who engages in graffiti for artistic or personal reasons rather that gang related motives. Banksters usually use stencils rather than ordinary bombing. The Bankster is a subcategory of the vandal. "Did you see the stencil that got put up on Dickson?"
"Yea it was straight up Bankster!" |

COLLINSVILLE — The city plans to refinance its loans to save about half a million dollars.
The Collinsville City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to refinance part of its 2006 series of bonds. The $20 million bonds were taken out to expand the city's sewer plant, with a 4.3 percent interest rate.
However, the city's advisory firm, Speer Financial, has recommended refinancing the remaining debt in two batches for a total savings of $500,000.
"I'm happy to see this happen," said Councilwoman Nancy Moss.
This year the city will refinance $10 million, and another $6.5 million next year. The cost for the refinance will be about $150,000, but total savings will be about $650,000, for a net gain of $500,000, according to Speer Financial.
"Reducing the interest rate helps us pay down the debt quicker and gets us back where we should be," said Mayor John Miller.
The council also voted to set public hearings in its proposal to create a business district along St. Louis Road and expand the existing business district near Collinsville Crossing. Councilman Jeff Kypta voted against the hearings, restating his opposition to the projects.

Yesterday was my friend Lucia's bachelorette party!
We had such a fun day :)! I made her a 'Bride to Be'
sash from vintage fabrics and made her wear it all day ;).
We went to a cute animal park with a lot of owls and
other kinds of birds. Lucia really likes owls so we arranged
for her to hold some. It was really special, and I even
got to hold one too!
Lucia is holding the African eagle owl, big paws!
I'm holding a cute little church owl.
After the owl presentation we indoor-picnicked with
presents and yummy homemade food. I made my first ever vegan
blueberry mini pies from the 'Lisette in luilekkerland' cookbook.
I painted my nails yellow for the occasion ;)
After the picnic, we were free to stroll through the park
on our own (and it opened especially for us so we were the
only ones there!).
There were a lot of animals, and they were all so cute!
- Note on the side, I recently bought a new lens for my
Nikon, I normally shoot with a 18-55mm and now I also
have a 70-300mm macro lens. I finally got to test it
and it made me so happy! -
A lazy Capibara :)
Some animals could only be photographed through the fence :(
such a pity when taking pretty pictures! But don't you
just love this tiny fox creature!
I so much loved taking pictures of the meerkat family,
especially the little ones. I have a ton of pictures!
This little fellow was just relaxing and yawning a bit :).
After seeing so many owl species up close I realized how
special and pretty I find them...
There were so many more animals and I've taken so many more
pictures, but simply can't show them all. I'll upload more
to my flickr for those interested :).
We ended this most lovely day with a veggie dinner in the
canals of Utrecht.
We were actually supposed to go dancing afterwards as well
but the weather got totally crazy which led us to be soaking
wet from a shower of rain. I'm going to make a wedding cake
for Lucia with friends tomorrow and Friday is the wedding
so I don't know how much I'll be blogging this week.
I'll make it up though ;).

Back to 10 Great Psychedelic Neil Young Moments
This 1972 film features bits of concert footage, behind-the-scenes clips where Young is invariably smoking rather giant joints, and bizarre adventure sequences. It's the one fantasy clip near the end of the movie that's particularly fascinating. It starts with a man driving a red truck in circles along a beach before he gets out of the truck... while leaving it in gear to drive itself across the sand. This immediately cuts away to an extended shot of a dozen or so horseback riders in all-black robes and giant pointy hats who are carrying crosses. The robed riders meet up with the truck, dismount, then clamor to climb up a tree trunk embedded in the sand. During all this a cross-legged, bearded man watches nearby, then pulls a syringe from a hollowed out bible and shoots himself up with it.

A free health camp in New Delhi helped set the stage for India's 10 January National Immunization Day (NID).
Organized on 7 January by the Rotary Club of Delhi South Metropolitan, Delhi, with support from the India PolioPlus Committee, the camp provided underprivileged residents with checkups, consultations, and information on a wide range of health issues.
Health camps are often held before NIDs in India to encourage people to participate in polio immunization activities. Rajashree Birla, an honorary member of the Rotary clubs of Bombay and Mulund, Maharashtra, joined Lakshmi Mittal, who leads ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, and his wife, Usha, in inaugurating the New Delhi camp. Birla and the Mittals are major contributors to Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge.
"It is the conscience of corporate families like them who inspire people to give so that the vulnerable and underserved can fare better in their lives," said Past RI President Rajendra K. Saboo.
"The global fight against polio is being fought mainly in four countries, which include India," said RI President-nominee Kalyan Banerjee. "It is a responsibility that we all share and at this stage must be addressed with urgency and utmost sincerity, so that children in India, mainly in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, are saved from falling prey to polio."
Rotary Foundation Trustee Ashok M. Mahajan, a member of the International PolioPlus Committee, expressed his admiration for the dedication that Birla and the Mittals demonstrated in visiting the camp.
Birla -- whose late husband, Aditya Birla, founded the Aditya Birla Group, a Fortune 500 company -- has contributed $2 million to Rotary's challenge. She thanked Rotary for working to address the health care needs of the disadvantaged. "The disparity in the ratio of medical doctors to patients is very high in India, and there are many who remain unattended [when it comes to] medical care," she said.
Birla also called Rotary's effort to eradicate polio inspiring. She urged all people to spread the end polio message in their area of influence, including to co-workers and business associates, and leverage their connections to reach out to parents in the slums.
"Children in the age group of one to five years must be immunized against polio lest they be crippled for life," said Usha Mittal, who has made a $1 million gift to Rotary's challenge. "My family and I feel privileged to be able to contribute to Rotary for making India polio-free."

Minister opts for pedal power on visit to West
Transport Minister Norman Baker has visited Exeter to back a new cycle hire scheme – and praise work on a major upgrade to the South West's road network.
The MP applauded the success of the £10.95 million project to improve Junction 29 of the M5 before visiting Exeter St David's Station to offer his support for the Brompton Dock cycle hire scheme.
The minister said: "We awarded £10.5 million of funding for Junction 29 back in 2011. To see this be approved and built within two years and to come and visit it for myself is quite a luxury within such a short space of time.
"This brings a boost to the region's economy and is a good example to see what can be achieved. It's been an ambitious and efficient programme which I'm pleased to see has been delivered on time."

The bike hire scheme launched in October provides members of the public with access to Brompton folding bikes, which can be taken on board trains or stored in the office.
Mr Baker said: "I also welcome the cycle hire scheme at Exeter St David's Station. I use a folding bike to get around London so I know first-hand the benefits they bring.
"This facility really showcases what can be achieved when transport providers come together to establish onward journey solutions for travellers."

- Dragon's Legacy is now available!
Jamie Jones looks like his Mexican mother and so struggles to find his place in an increasingly Anglo Tucson, Arizona Territory, in 1904. But his stubborn Welsh half is determined to be accepted, so he sets his sights on winning the affection of Miss Iris Crawford, an aloof beauty with motives of her own.
Percy Kindall lives the life of a privileged rogue in San Diego—until the day of his father's suicide. Percy's only clue to motive is a letter sent to a mysterious Mrs. Reyna Jones in Tucson. When he arrives there, he recognizes a kindred spirit in Iris Crawford, and makes clandestine arrangements for their mutual satisfaction.
Unaware of the avaricious manipulations of Miss Crawford, Jamie and Percy's lives collide and intertwine in a web of secrets and destiny—a Dragon's Legacy.

Tim Kring insults Heroes fans
Oh dear, dear. This is not the way to improve the show, Mr Kring!
At Creative Screenwriting's 2008 Screenwriting Expo this weekend, not only did Tim Kring make the scary suggestion that Heroes should stop its serial storytelling and go (gasp) episodic, Kring also said:
"So [watching it] on air is related to the saps and the dipshits who can't figure out how to watch it in a superior way."
Wow, way to go to insult your most loyal viewers – those that bother to watch it live. Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan is furious. In her post: Tim Kring: Heroes viewers are saps, she says:
How absolutely infuriating. How does Kring muster the gall to insult anyone who's still watching his show? What arrogance. What cluelessness. Not only is his argument weak and without merit, he stoops to calling "Heroes" viewers names.
The only sap here is Kring. Any and all insulting terms should be directed at himself. After all, who is responsible for two seasons of mostly muddy, incoherent storytelling? It wasn't the saps at home on their couches.
He also blamed the new way of watching TV (via DVRs and Tivo) and says that serial teleivision is a "bear" to do. Basically he says that new technologies, and viewers' very short attention span is causing Heroes' failure, which is why shows like True Blood and Dexter are such hits, of course. Time's James Poniewozik, who suggests that:
Yes, you can blame technology for siphoning all the smart viewers away from your series. You could try revamping your show so that it becomes the complete opposite of what it was conceived as. Or you could try, you know, not sucking.
If anything, new technologies like DVRs and broadband TV are encouraging the growth of serialised TV shows like Lost and True Blood. Viewers can rewatch the show when they can do it instead of fitting their schedules to ensure their bums are in the couch at an appointed time. So Kring is talking nonsense.
So much has been written about Heroes sucking this season. Personally I found season 2 watcheable, even if I rolled my eyes at the "Hiro goes to medieval Japan" leg of the season. But season 3 was insane, and not in a good way.
It's almost as if all the characters have collectively lost their marbles. Nathan has a religious conversion. Peter is good/bad/whatever and Sylar is suddenly Mr Mum. I feel as if I was watching a bizzaro alternate dimension of Heroes.
It got to the point where I couldn't bear to watch another episode – only because I couldn't bear to see it suck any further. Heroes' spectacular fall from greatness – its first season is probably the most stellar in TV history, and I even hosted a Heroes TV party at my home with friends – was painful for me, an arden fan, to watch.
Now with Tim Kring insulting the 7mil American viewers who watch it live … oh dear, someone hand him a pink slip before its too late!

Modern jazz drummer Lewis has always been known as a helluva player, but on this CD he also shows he's a very fine composer — he wrote six of the nine cuts. He assembled an incredible band of youngsters: bassist Christian McBride, pianist Ed Simon, and tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake. Dr. Eddie Henderson joins on four tracks as well. The music is modern post-bop mainstream and extraordinarily hip and tuneful. There are five pieces that stand on their own as potential classics. Lewis wrote "Hey, It's Me You're Talkin' To," and "Between Two Worlds," both with Henderson, both upbeat boppers in a Jazz Messengers mold. The former starts with a hard bass ostinato line leading into a leaping melody; the latter is more simmering than cooking, with Blake running through it the first time, Henderson joining in harmony, and McBride taking over on the fleet-fingered bridge. The title track has a soulful fuse of piano chords that sets off bombardier Lewis and Blake's sparkling tenor. The young Canadian saxophonist is an interesting player with definite Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter influences, but shows an original voice already. He wrote "Gotta Start Somewhere," a simple, childlike melody that has harmonic touches reminiscent of a Randy Brecker composition — understated and deep blue, yet intense. He's expresses somber moods on two patient ballads ("The Loss of a Moment" and Pamela Watson's "If You Only Knew Me") and pulls them off quite well. Dave Stryker's hip "Swamp Dog" languishes in modal chords by the consistently brilliant Simon, while Blake's blues-infected, swaggering tenor wades through dirty cattails and deep funky water. It also gives Lewis a chance to cut loose on an inventive solo as Simon chimes piano chords for the drummer to chase. At a lower ebb is the slow waltz "The Truce," in which Blake and Henderson skate around each other's counterpointed notions, finally agreeing on common ground. This is one to seek out, and is probably the best jazz recording of 1993.

Frederick News Post Opinion piece
This is an interesting opinion piece which references a 1991 PJC case against the Frederick PD.
PJC's Guide to Judgment Enforcement
PJC recently published a guide to collecting on judgments in Maryland. It is helpful not only after you have a judgment, but may also help you decide to litigate a case where you might have thought suing someone would result in a mere paper judgment. The guide focuses on judgments for unpaid wages and related damages, but is also useful for judgments in other cases.
The three fundamental components of this manual are: (1) pre- and post-judgment defendant investigation and asset research; (2) prejudgment tools to proactively prevent employers and other potential judgment debtors from hiding or selling off assets; and (3) judgment enforcement, including enforcement for unpaid wages.

Disaster Unemployment Assistance in Wake of Hurricane Sandy
Workers who lost their jobs as a result of Hurricane Sandy -- and who aren't eligible for regular state unemployment insurance, e.g., the self-employed -- may be eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance, a federal program that provides up to 26 weeks of jobless aid.
To qualify, individuals must have lost their jobs as a result of a major disaster in an area so declared by the president. To date, a number of counties in NY, NJ, and CT have been declared major disaster areas. Check out our fact sheet at http://unemployedworkers.org/sites/unemployedworkers/index.php/site/blog_entry/disaster_unemployment_assistance_how_workers_can_access_the_program_sandy for more info.
And be sure to visit NELP's Immigrant Worker Justice Blog at http://www.immigrantworkerjustice.org/blog to read about how the storm has impacted immigrant worker communities on the East Coast.
Continuation of medical coverage for divorced spouses
Here is my question:
We concluded a divorce hearing on July 6, 2012 in which client received an absolute divorce, rehabilitative alimony, child support and the court also ordered that the husband continue to provide medical insurance for Client and Child through his employer provided group insurance plan.
On Friday, August 1, 2012 , my client found out from Husband's employer, a large hospital, that the Husband allowed his insurance to lapse as of June 30, 2012, just before our divorce hearing. Husband, who is pro se, denies this and claims he he renewed the insurance. No notice was given to my client of the lapse.
To be brief, the employer reinstated the Child on the insurance policy, but refused to reinstate Client. The employer is claiming that she is no longer a beneficiary. I know that under MD Code Insurance § 15-408, allows for a divorced spouse to continue to be covered on the other party's health insurance.
What is there any way to compel the insurance company to reinstate her?

DOL seeking comments on proposed rule extending min wage and overtime protections under FLSA to home care workers
The Department of Labor is seeking comments on extending minimum wage and overtime protections under FLSA to home care workers. Currently in Maryland, home care workers do receive minimum wage and overtime protections, with the exception of certain workers employed by non-profit entities - see Md. Code Ann. Lab. And Empl. 3-415. Please see below for more information. If you are interested in helping us put together comments from a human rights perspective on this change, please join us to discuss it at the Workers Rights Task Force meeting on Feb. 2 at 10 am, and/or contact Jennifer Goldberg email@example.com and Elsa Clausen (firstname.lastname@example.com).
From the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care
Currently about 1.7 million home care workers are not eligible to receive minimum wage and overtime protections.
Why? Because they are not covered by regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which gives workers important wage protections.
Right now, the Fair Labor Standards Act regulations give minimum wage and overtime protections to domestic service employees - people who work in a private home. However, these protections do not apply to "companionship services" provided to an older adult or person with disabilities who can't care for themselves. The intent of Congress when it passed the Fair Labor Standards Act was to exclude someone who was providing company to a consumer and watching out for their safety while doing so. However, the term "companionship" has been applied very broadly to include home health aides and personal care aides/attendants.
The Department of Labor has proposed a rule to extend minimum wage and overtime to home care workers.
Increasing wages for home care workers is an important step toward improving the quality of the job. Improving the quality of the job makes workers' lives better, increases job satisfaction, reduces stress and improves morale - which means better care for consumers.
What's in the proposed rule?
- Includes home health aides and personal care aides as domestic service employees.
- Applies FLSA protections to everyone except those who meet a new, very narrow definition of "companionship services."
- New definition: a worker whose only responsibilities are to provide fellowship or protection and whose duties include no more than an "incidental" amount of other services.
- "Incidental services" include dressing, grooming, toileting, helping someone to eat, driving to appointments, washing clothes (and similar tasks) IF these services are done while the worker is providing fellowship or protection.
- These services can only be provided occasionally.
- These services can't include household work that benefits others in the household.
- Worker can spend no more than 20% of total time worked in a week providing these services.
What would the rule do?
- For the first time any worker employed by an agency would get minimum wage and overtime protections, and pay for travel time between clients. The majority of home care workers and personal care aides/attendants work for agencies.
- Workers whose responsibilities are to assist consumers with tasks such as bathing, dressing, going to the bathroom, eating and getting around, and other tasks like light housekeeping, laundry, preparing meals, chores and running errands would not be companions.
- Consumers who hire their own worker under a Medicaid funded program or who pay out of their own pockets would pay minimum wage and overtime unless the worker meets the new, narrow definition of companion.
What are the positive impacts of the proposed rule?
- Increasing wages for home care workers is an important step toward improving the quality of the job. Improving the quality of the job makes workers' lives better, increases job satisfaction, reduces stress and improves morale - which mean better care for consumers.
- Would help retain workers and reduce the turnover rate.
- Could attract more people to the job – making more workers available to provide the hours of care that consumers need.
- Could make it easier for agencies and consumers to find workers to hire.
- Would help to attract more workers and more qualified workers.
The Consumer Voice supports this rule. However, we have identified some areas that are unclear or that might be of concern to some consumers --
Incidental services:
- If a worker employed by a consumer goes over the 20% limit one week, but not the next, does the consumer have to keep changing the amount s/he is paying the worker?
- How occasional is "occasional?" For example: A worker keeps Mrs. Jones company three times a week in the afternoon. During that time, she helps Mrs. Jones take a walk and assists Mrs. Jones in putting on and taking off her coat every time. Is this considered to be occasional dressing?
- Incidental services cannot benefit others in the household. For example, a worker makes a meal for Mr. Roberts while providing fellowship and protection and cleans up the kitchen afterwards. Since cleaning up the kitchen would benefit others living in the house, does this mean the worker would not be entitled to FLSA protection
- How do consumers who hire their own worker know how much time the worker is spending on "incidental services" in a week? How do they track this?
- If a live-in worker is employed by the consumer, the burden is on the consumer as employer to make and maintain accurate records.
- What if an adult daughter hires a worker to live with her Mom who has dementia or to sit with her Mom four times a week. The daughter lives in another town. How does the daughter know what hours are actually worked or how much time the worker is spending on "incidental services?"
- Some consumers may have to pay more for care if they are not currently paying their workers minimum wage. However, the minimum wage is already required in 21 states so many consumers are already paying at this rate.
- Consumers who hire a worker for more than 40 hours would have to pay overtime. This is a very small percentage of consumers. Consumers who don't want to pay overtime can find another worker and split up the hours.
- The impact on the LTSS system is unknown. However, we know that 21 states currently pay minimum wage and 15 states pay minimum wage/overtime. These states have not seen an increase of people being forced into nursing homes because the cost of home care became too expensive.

Free Tax Return Preparation for You by Volunteers
The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Programs offer free tax help for taxpayers who qualify.
The VITA Program offers free tax help to people who generally make $50,000 or less and need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation to qualified individuals in local communities. They can inform taxpayers about special tax credits for which they may qualify such as Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled. VITA sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and other convenient locations. Most locations also offer free electronic filing.
Find a VITA site near you or call 1-800-906-9887.
The TCE Program offers free tax help for all with priority assistance to people who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement issues unique to seniors. IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS.
Find an AARP Tax-Aide, site near you or call 1-888-227-7669 for more information on TCE
Facilitated Self-Assistance
In addition to traditional face-to-face tax preparation, the IRS is launching a self-assistance service at select locations. If individuals have a simple tax return and need a little help or do not have access to a computer, they can visit one of the participating tax preparation sites and an IRS-certified volunteer will guide them through the process.
Find a Facilitated Self-Assistance site near you
Items you need to bring to the VITA/TCE sites to have your tax returns prepared:
- Proof of identification – Picture ID
- Social Security Cards for you, your spouse and dependents or a Social Security Number verification letter issued by the Social Security Administration or
- Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) assignment letter for you, your spouse and dependents
- Proof of foreign status, if applying for an ITIN
- Birth dates for you, your spouse and dependents on the tax return
- Wage and earning statement(s) Form W-2, W-2G, 1099-R, 1099-Misc from all employers
- Interest and dividend statements from banks (Forms 1099)
- A copy of last year's federal and state returns if available
- Proof of bank account routing numbers and account numbers for Direct Deposit, such as a blank check
- Total paid for daycare provider and the daycare provider's tax identifying number (the provider's Social Security Number or the provider's business Employer Identification Number) if appropriate
- To file taxes electronically on a married-filing-joint tax return, both spouses must be present to sign the required forms.
It is extremely important that each person use the correct Social Security Number. The most accurate information is usually located on your original Social Security card. If you do not have an SSN for you or a dependent, you should complete Form SS-5, Social Security Number Application. This form should be submitted to the nearest Social Security Administration Office.
If you or your dependent is not eligible to get a Social Security Number, you may need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

What do you do if your grandfather, who lives alone and can no longer cook for himself, won't leave his home for a nursing home or assisted living facility?
What do you do if your aunt can no longer manage her finances but seems capable of caring for herself in her small apartment?
These questions and others are answered in the new edition of the Guardianship Handbook . . .
The Law & Health Care Program at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law (UM Carey Law) and the Delivery of Legal Services Section Council of the Maryland State Bar Association (MSBA) have published a guide to help both laypeople and attorneys navigate adult guardianship in Maryland. "Guardianship and Its Alternatives: A Handbook on Maryland Law" was originally written by UM Carey Law Professor Joan O'Sullivan, a champion for the legal rights of the elderly, who passed away in 2007. The 2011 Edition was revised and updated by Virginia Rowthorn, JD, Managing Director of the Law & Health Care Program, and Ellen Callegary, JD, a prominent elder law and disability lawyer in Maryland.
The impetus for the updated Handbook was various changes in guardianship law over the last two decades and a realization by elder law and disability lawyers on the Delivery of Legal Services Section Council that there is a great need for practical, easy-to-read advice regarding guardianship for elderly and disabled Maryland residents. The Handbook also sets forth a comprehensive list of alternatives to the formal guardianship process, a time-consuming and sweeping process that may not always be necessary to address a number of problems associated with lack of decision-making capacity.

During her ten years as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Maryland, she worked directly with two Attorneys General advising state agencies on matters related to the rights of persons with disabilities and serving as principal counsel for the Department of Juvenile Services. She also serves as an Adjunct Professor of Law at UM Carey Law, where she most recently taught the Civil Right of Persons with Disabilities Seminar.

Supported by funds from the Law & Health Care Program, the Rueben Shiling Mental Health Law Fund, the Dr. Richard H. Heller Fund, and the Maryland Bar Foundation, the Handbook will be made available free of charge to attorneys and laypeople throughout the state. All or portions of the Handbook can be duplicated and distributed without charge with proper attribution to the UM Carey Law's Law & Health Care Program and the Maryland State Bar Association.

NELP Unemployment Insurance: Keeping the Promise - Today and Tomorrow
The Great Recession officially ended more than two years ago, but families continue to struggle to regain their economic footing in an economy with minimal job growth. Meanwhile, policy makers are facing structural challenges and tough choices in nearly every aspect of the unemployment insurance (UI) program.
Poor state UI financing has combined with record long-term unemployment to create the perfect storm for the UI system nationally. More than half of all state trust funds are insolvent, having built up close to $40 billion in federal debt. During the last state solvency crisis, the UI program was decimated with recipiency falling by nearly half. Once again state legislatures have reacted by chipping away at the New Deal promise to provide workers who are involuntarily unemployed with a fair level of partial wage replacement. In the first six months of 2011, ten states have enacted major UI benefit cuts, slashing the number of benefit weeks and benefit amounts, while erecting new obstacles to eligibility.
At this critical moment, states and UI advocates are at an important crossroads. We invite you to take part in a gathering of leading policy makers, advocates, and researchers, which will help chart an agenda for keeping the promise of the UI program. The conference will include a roundtable of state UI Administrators discussing major issues facing the program, as well as a panel of key Congressional staff addressing federal legislation affecting the unemployed.
In addition, workshops will cover such key issues as:
• Defending state UI programs from legislative efforts to cut benefits
• The Administration's "Improper Payment Initiative" and its potential impact on UI state laws and unemployed workers
• Telling workers' stories: Using social media to mobilize state UI campaigns
• Reemployment strategies for the long-term unemployed
• Services and supports for unemployed workers who exhaust benefits
• State and federal approaches to restoring and maintaining solvency
• How advocates can use data and research effectively to make the case for a strong UI program
In addition, NELP will host a Monday evening social event (details to be announced) at which a special award will be given to a UI advocate in honor of the late Jerry Hildebrand, former Chief of the USDOL UI Legislative Division and long-time champion of the UI system.
The conference will be a great opportunity for state worker advocates to hear about UI developments and trends around the country, and to network with counterparts. The conference will start at 1pm on Monday, December 5th and run all day Tuesday December 6th.

Board on Aging publishes Health Care Choices booklet for seniors
The Minnesota Board on Aging has published the 2012 edition of Health Care Choices for Minnesotans on Medicare. A print edition of the book is also available by calling Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433.
The Minnesota Board on Aging has published the 2012 edition of Health Care Choices for Minnesotans on Medicare. A print edition of the book is also available by calling Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433.
The 192-page booklet is full of information about Medicare enrollment, Medicare supplements, health plans, Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, Medicare savings programs, Medicare Advantage plans and Special Need Plans, Minnesota Long-Term Care Partnership insurance, other long-term care options and much more. It is the only comprehensive, objective statewide publication available that provides information about all Medicare options for Minnesotans. The book also contains:
Information about long-term care planning, fraud alerts and how to find needed resources
Information on the new One Stop Shop for Seniors
Information for Medicare beneficiaries of all ages residing in any of Minnesota's 87 counties.
"This is an important resource for people wanting information about Medicare and all its programs and options," said Jean Wood, executive director, Minnesota Board on Aging. "It would be hard to find another resource that has all the information that this book has."
The primary purpose of the governor-appointed Minnesota Board on Aging is to ensure that older Minnesotans and their families are effectively served by state and local policies and programs in order to age well and live well. Partnering with area agencies on aging and others, the MBA administers and oversees the use of the Older Americans Act funds as well as state funds to support older Minnesotans. In addition, the MBA provides objective information and data to the Minnesota Legislature, the governor and state agencies to shape policies that reflect the needs and interests of older Minnesotans.

Chasm / Re: Karma.
« on: May 06, 2013, 12:22:19 AM »
I must say that I, too, have a soft spot for wasps. Or, at least for yellow jackets. They taught me much about the fine art of observing one's surroundings before plowing ahead. And I only had to get stung about 300 times to learn!
Chasm / Re: Karma.
« on: May 05, 2013, 04:19:17 AM »I like wasps. Maybe I like them because they are incredibly, foolishly, suicidally brave.
They will take on anything at all; wolverines on steroids.
So I never kill wasps.
Except, a year or so ago, when I had to dig out an old tree stump, in preparation for building a carport.
A wasp warned me off, as I dug. It became more and more threatening, the more I dug and dug.
But I needed that stump gone, and so I ignored the wasp and carried on.
Until it became so insistent that I retired, hurrying across the lawn, while it relentlessly followed me.
The fool thing became stuck inside my glove, between glove and wrist, whereupon it stung me.
Well. When I get hurt, I get angry, and man, that hurt!
Before I knew I'd done it, the wasp was dead...
I've felt bad, ever since, for killing that wasp. It was an expert in bushido, and I regretted having had to off it.
Bad for my karma, too, I imagined, and golly, what price would I have to pay for that?
And suddenly I realized:
If there is such a thing as karma, then surely it doesn't just apply to humans.
It applies to every living thing. Wasps too.
No matter how well-armed one is, and however justified in one's actions, there are consequences to one's actions.
Take on something thousands of times your size, and those consequences are likely to be unpleasant.
Perhaps, as my wife reminded me, that wasp was the reincarnation of an especially ornery human.
Some characters just never learn.
I love this story. When Americans speak of 'karma,' they talk about it like its some sort of convenient cosmic system for granting the weak revenge upon the strong. You know, like Christianity.
In my more fanciful moments, I like to think that life's little mishaps are just nature's way of reminding us to value what we do. Most people place very little value on most of what they do, and consequently do most everything poorly, and with ill-concealed resentment. I've come to welcome the occasional annoyance or setback; it helps me to remember that every challenge is worth overcoming and every task begun is worth finishing, and finishing well. It is hard to value that which we have not worked for.
Chasm / Re: Mystical Thinking.
« on: March 10, 2013, 02:41:29 PM »Dylar, what is is beyond thought; a thought can be pointed out, but reality is the pointer - how can a knife cut itself? The mystical experience, the experience of that reality (of one's own reality), is not primarily a thought-state, though, of course, thought might arise; even so, it is known, at that point, that one is not the thinker (it is no longer "my thought"). Shiva sits upon Kailash in the deepest of meditations, being only the Self; there is no thought, no feeling, no sensation, only existence.
Nonsense. Mystical experiences, like any other thoughts, are ephemera conjured by the human mind, no more, no less. The distinction is whether one imposes conscious control of the process.
Chasm / Re: Mystical Thinking.
« on: March 10, 2013, 02:26:45 PM »We are talking about two different things here.
What you say is true, up to the point where it is no longer true.
When I say 'no thought', that is exactly what I mean:
A state in which thought is utterly superfluous, and simply ceases to occur.
Indeed, as soon as a thought manifests, the no-thought state ceases, and the thinker returns to its accustomed state.
There is, for example, in the no-thought state, no hint of emotion, or identity; only one-ness with everything.
Thinking separates itself from everything else, in order to consider it.
Not-thinking removes that separation.
Ha. I had to repair the insane misspelling of that last 'separation' about nine times before it was right.
That sense of "oneness"? It's only in your head. It is, as we like to call it in the parlance of my generation, a thought.
Chasm / Re: Mystical Thinking.
« on: March 08, 2013, 06:52:00 PM »
The mystic experience isn't non-thought, it is thought in its least adulterated state, thought divorced from sensory input, thought untainted by discourse with others and their thoughts. The tools of the mysticisolation, asceticism, meditation, trance states etc.aren't tools for emptying the mind of thought (even if they are presented as such), they are tools for clearing the mind of impediments to thought and the obligation to consciously shape thought or herd it in a particular direction.
Chasm / Re: Mystical Thinking.
« on: March 03, 2013, 08:31:11 AM »
When I encounter a situation that calls for less thought and more...whatever, I'll let you know.

« on: January 15, 2013, 03:06:24 AM »
Political ideologieslike their religious counterpartsprovide a mythic framework for A.) explaining why things aren't the way they ought to be and B.) how things can be made to be the way they ought to be. Childish, yes, but for a human being, who might reasonable expect 80 years of life in a universe where a billion years is chump change, a certain degree of perpetual childishness is to be expected, no?
Chasm / Re: Celebrate neurodiversity

Or, perhaps we need to bend the arc of our "current contemporary culture" away from its current path toward an ever more secure haven for passive, effeminate, organization-minded (as in "company man," not the capacity to provide organization) failboaters...
Chasm / Re: Racist hate laws returning
« on: June 10, 2012, 02:34:30 AM »nor will requiring voters to show photo identification disenfranchise any substantial number of minorities.
You're wrong there. It definitely will, as minority groups tend to have higher rates of crime in the USA, and so have a higher chance of being prohibted from carrying common state issued ID's like drivers licenses or trade licenses. Of course, the standard issue regular "state ID" which just says one's name, DOB, and what state they're from in addition to personal characteristics can be obtained, but not many people have them or know about them to my knowledge.
But, that just highlights problems inherent to those respective minority groups, not these laws. Ultimately I agree that these laws are just a distraction from the real problems.
When you look at who actually shows up to vote in the first place, it's clear that laws like this don't really result in much of the way of actual vote suppression: the people who end up being impacted by ID requirements are people who wouldn't have turned out to vote in any event. Vote fraud and vote suppression are non-issues masquerading as significant.
Chasm / Re: Racist hate laws returning
« on: June 05, 2012, 10:06:31 PM »Trust us: when the Congressional Black Caucus tells you that a voter ID law will be detrimental to black empowerment black political empowerment we know what we are talking about and it is for real, Butterfield continued, before contradicting himself (with respect to the alleged goals of the right-wing conspiracy trying to return to 1900. What they want to do is not take away the right to vote, but if black voter participation can be diminished even by ten percent it will make that critical difference all across the country. President Obama won my state, in the last election, by 14,000 votes. Had we had a voter ID law in North Carolina he would not have won the state of NC and probably could not have won the presidency.
(What leadership under a liberal democracy does with your time.)
It's a classic illustration of the ways in which our politicians love to address issues that don't matter to the exclusion of those that do. There's not enough vote fraud in the US to justify spending a second of legislative time on laws to prevent it, nor will requiring voters to show photo identification disenfranchise any substantial number of minorities. These are laws that aren't needed, but have no real negative impact, either. Which, I suppose, makes them perfect bones for contention: no one has to risk losing anything important..
Chasm / Re: Invasive species
« on: May 20, 2012, 04:53:53 PM »
Organisms are adapted to the specific environments in which they evolve. Even where they are "successful" upon introduction into another ecosystem, that very "success" can thoroughly destabilize and degrade the ecosystems into which they are introduced. It's not justor even primarilythat they out-compete native species: the problem is the accretion of secondary effects that follows from the initial displacement of native species. A lot of ecosystems have fairly tight tolerances, so relatively small changes can disrupt equilibrium to a degree sufficient to induce systemic decline.

That's worth supporting.Thats what kills me, if you hate Jews so much, why not help with their Zionist mission and help them get the hell out of Dodge? If Zionists had their way, you wouldn't have to deal with the Jews materialistic bullshit, and they wouldn't have to deal with European and American pogroms. It's win-win.
Well, unless you're a Palestinian Arab.
Chasm / Re: Far right expanding and consolidating
« on: May 03, 2012, 11:06:52 PM »and anyone trying to pin these problems on other demographic groups is selling something.
The argument being advanced by the Golden Dawn is that closing Greece's borders to immigration will have a measurable economic impact and help alleviate the debt crisis, yet this addresses exactly none of the real problems Greece actually faces. This isn't a solution: it's soccer hooliganism masquerading as a political stance.
Chasm / Re: The two hemispheres are fundamentally at odds.
« on: May 03, 2012, 08:33:40 PM »
The brain is one of those things about which we know very little, and understand even less. As a result, I am always, at the very least, suspicious of grand sweeping claims about brain function. I am particularly suspicious when such speculation is couched in vague, imagistic terms that read like a personality sorter...or a horoscope.
Chasm / Re: Far right expanding and consolidating
« on: May 03, 2012, 04:40:13 PM »Greek here.
The Golden Dawn, as of now at least, is undoubtedly one of the biggest embarrassments of the nation, along with nincompoop teenage/young adult Anarchists.
Moronic, meaningless violence and hooliganism, Illogical racism, Nazi sympathising, directionlessness. Despite what nonsense they might preach, they have no actual program, and they ponder only to sections of the block-headed lower classes, especially those with fetishes for flashy rallies, slogans and street fights. In essence they're just reactionary, and like the NSDAP, what prosperity they have achieved is solely due to the damaged economy.
You sell the Nazis short. They were politically successful in the 1930s largely because the NSDAP and the NSDAP alone had coherent and comprehensive solutions to the two most important problems facing Germany: massive economic dysfunction and disastrous strategic weakness in the face of the rising power of Stalinist Russia. That they wrapped it all in confidence-building spectacle and effective sloganeering is neither here nor there. They offered what modern far-right parties never seem to get around to: an actual program of policies designed to achieve something meaningful.

>> Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel is continuing her high fashion crossover with a solo Fall 2011 Tom Ford ad campaign. She fronts the womenswear portion of Ford's campaign, while Lara Stone is doing Fall 2011 beauty honors. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott were behind the lens this season — instead of Ford himself — and shot Swanepoel outdoors in London in a spot overlooking the Thames River.
Watch Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova, and More Snarl for Givenchy's Fall 2011 Campaign
>> In tune with the roaring panther prints of Givenchy's Fall 2011 collection, the accompanying ad campaign sees Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova, Kristen McMenamy, and house favorite Mariacarla Boscono each roaring for the lens of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Get a look behind-the-scenes at the shoot, for which Riccardo Tisci imagined the four new Givenchy faces as "dark 1950s pinups," captured individually atop a printed cushion in a corner. [Style File, WWD]
Miu Miu Changes Direction with Hailee Steinfeld's Fall 2011 Campaign
>> After nine seasons of color-saturated Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-shot ad campaigns, Miu Miu is going in a new direction, courtesy of Bruce Weber, who shot the latest Miu Miu muse — 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld — for the label's Fall 2011 campaign. Steinfeld first began a relationship with Miuccia Prada at the beginning of the year, when she wore Prada to the SAG Awards, according to her stylist, Karla Welch: "Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear." She went on to attend the Miu Miu show in March as a special guest of Miuccia Prada. [TFS]
Versace Ushers In a New Era with a Brunette Face
>> Versace is in a state of change, Donatella Versace confirms. For the first time ever, she recently opened the house archives for a music video — Lady Gaga's new "Edge of Glory" video, to be exact — in which Gaga wears a strappy vintage Versace corset top and shorts, both in gold studded black leather. Style.com noted the change in direction earlier this week at Versace's Resort 2012 preview, of which many were reportedly commenting, "I'm not a Versace girl, but I'd wear that."
The house's Fall 2011 campaign is also perpetuating a new Versace era; instead of Mario Testino, who has done Versace campaign honors since 2004, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott were the photographers of choice, a Versace first. And rather than featuring a celebrity or a blonde — as is typical for Versace — the campaign focuses on the brunette Saskia de Brauw. "For me, it is expected to have the blonde girl, the sexy girl, and this is what Versace meant recently," explained Donatella. "But I thought about how in the past, when Gianni used girls like Kristen McMenamy and Stella Tennant, everyone was always saying, 'Wow, this is not a Versace girl, she is not blonde.' Sometimes you need to renew yourself to work better and to make a little bit of a push."
Of the resulting images, Versace added: "It's a glamorous woman and it's a little pop, which I love. Mert and Marcus are very talented and full of ideas. This season is just the beginning. I want to push something different and new."
Edward Enninful Has Big Plans for W's September Issue
>> W's new fashion and style editor Edward Enninful won't make his full debut for the magazine until September, but his stamp can already be seen on the magazine's July 2011 cover featuring Christina Aguilera, he says: "I was involved with Christina. I worked with our contributing editor Giovanna Battaglia on the look and the photography and also Lynn Hirschberg. And I wanted to show Christina in a new light, show off the icon that she is."
As for his future plans for the magazine: "We'll continue to work with photographers like Craig McDean, Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Sorrenti, Inez and Vinoodh, Mert and Marcus, but we also have a few big names in the pipeline and you'll see it in the coming months, particularly in September ... The September issue will be first big issue for myself, along with Alex Gonzalez, the creative director, and sort of Giovanna Battaglia, whom we offered to be fashion editor and hopefully a few other editors. And we're going to feature the industry's biggest names and well-known photographers. I think you'll be pleased. And what I love about this sort of blend of photographers is that each one has their own unique style. So if it's okay I'd like to keep their names under wrap just to surprise our readers. It's really hard to keep anything secret these days. But I try."
Lara Stone Breaks Calvin Klein Exclusive with New Tom Ford Beauty Campaign
>> Lara Stone, who landed a Calvin Klein exclusive a year ago and is still making appearances on behalf of the brand — just two days ago she wore Calvin Klein at a CK one-sponsored event in Berlin — doesn't seem to be an exclusive for the brand any more. She's appearing alongside Tom Ford in the campaign for his new beauty collection — which is Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-lensed, instead of photographed by Ford or Terry Richardson as the designer's campaigns have been in the past.
Behind-the-Scenes at the Alberta Ferretti, Ralph Lauren Fall 2011 Campaign Shoots; Plus, Lanvin and Roberto Cavalli Cast Details
>> The Fall 2011 campaign parade continues: Arizona Muse was on set for Alberta Ferretti yesterday, as were Valentina Zeliaeva and Magdalena Frackowiak for Ralph Lauren (left).
Raquel Zimmermann recently confirmed: "I'll be in the Lanvin campaign which was shot by photographer Steven Meisel, but I can not describe how it was, total secrecy until the campaign out!" And Roberto Cavalli is reportedly employing Natasha Poly, Mariacarla Boscono, and Karen Elson to be shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and styled by Panos Yiapanis.
After Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted leaving Coach headquarters recently with Reed Krakoff, meanwhile, rumors have been fanned that the actress might be a new face for either Coach or Krakoff's Coach-funded eponymous label.

See Emmanuelle Alt's Second Vogue Paris Cover, Featuring Kate Moss
>> In a followup to her first Vogue Paris cover featuring Gisele Bundchen, Emmanuelle Alt's second cover for the magazine features another supermodel: Kate Moss, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in London. [Vogue.fr, HuffPo]
Will Kate Moss Be in Louis Vuitton's Fall 2011 Ad Campaign? Plus, More Casting Rumors
>> The latest Fall 2011 campaign scuttlebutt: Isabeli Fontana is taking the early lead, with campaigns for Escada and Donna Karan booked, and a rumored appearance for Bottega Veneta as well. Karan's campaign, which was captured by Patrick Demarchelier the past three seasons, was snapped by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for Fall 2011.
Meanwhile, Steven Meisel shot (and Karl Templer styled) the Fall 2011 Louis Vuitton campaign in New York yesterday — but there will reportedly be no Kate Moss appearance as there was on the runway. In fact, no supermodels will be featured at all: Instead, the six models chosen are said to be from the current generation — "Top 50-ish, a bit new. Nothing from the Icon list." Daphne Groeneveld and Fei Fei Sun are rumored to be among them.
Kate Moss has reportedly been cast for another Fall 2011 campaign for Mango; however, it will be shot by Terry Richardson and is today, making lots of appearances on his blog.
Versace, like Donna Karan, is also switching up photographers — after going with Mario Testino for the past eight seasons, Donatella Versace has chosen Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to do the Fall 2011 honors (with styling by Joe McKenna). Originally, the Versace campaign, like Vuitton, was reportedly supposed to feature six models, including Candice Swanepoel and Groeneveld, but the photographers are rumored to have settled instead on one girl with "short dark hair" who is a "cover star." Some are thinking that might indicate Saskia de Brauw as Versace's new girl.
To round out the Fall 2011 campaign placements so far, Juergen Teller shot Irina Kulikova yesterday for Moschino at Turin's Ristorante del Cambio, Ralph Lauren has reportedly cast its runway opener Sui He, and Liu Wen is rumored to be in the upcoming Dolce & Gabbana campaign.
A few images from the various shoots in the gallery.
Will Emmanuelle Alt's Second Vogue Paris Cover Also Feature a Supermodel?
>> Emmanuelle Alt's first Vogue Paris cover — for April 2011 — came out last week, with Gisele Bundchen photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in a white Dolce & Gabbana dress — a dress that has also been recently featured on the covers of Vogue Spain and Germany. Is Alt planning to go the supermodel route again for May, her second cover? Apparently she recently styled Kate Moss in a haute couture editorial for Vogue Paris's May issue — shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in London. It seems unlikely that the shoot wouldn't come with a cover deal, and Moss is, after all, among the coterie of Alt's favored models. [Telegraph UK]
