An Inside Look at Recovery Oversight
The Recovery Board, when you get right down to it, has two principal jobs—giving taxpayers a close-up look at how Recovery money is being spent and ensuring that those dollars are not misused.
To accomplish the first job of transparency, the Board posts detailed information from recipients of Recovery Act funds on Recovery.gov. The second job—accountability—requires the Board to review many of those recipient reports and work closely with the federal Inspector General community to protect taxpayer dollars.
The Recovery Operations Center, an analysis facility based in our offices in Washington, serves as the heart of our oversight operation. Known within the Board as the ROC, the center is an exceedingly useful analysis tool for the Board and for those in law enforcement, including Inspectors General. We also give access to the ROC to some federal agencies that fund Recovery contracts, grants, and loans.
Given that backdrop, I thought I would explain the history of the ROC and how we use it to keep fraudsters from running off with your tax money. The Board developed and launched the ROC in the early days of the Recovery program. The idea was pretty simple: We needed an analysis capability that would allow us to track $276 billion—the amount of taxpayer money allocated for contracts, grants, and loans that would be awarded to tens of thousands of recipients.
We weren't looking to develop just another pay-and-chase oversight program that would detect fraud after all the money went out the door. Detection was part of the plan, of course, but our focus was on being pro-active—preventing criminals and other bad actors from ever getting their hands on Recovery funds. To do that, we decided to build a program that would identify potential risks early on—questionable activities and business practices, business owners with shady backgrounds, and other factors that could put taxpayer funds at risk.
But a serious oversight program required more than sophisticated computer technology that integrated 27 government and commercial datasets into a single analytical platform. Someone had to review and make sense of the data fed into that IT system. We set about finding a group of young analysts and trained them to scour the recipient data looking for risk factors in the backgrounds of recipients of Recovery funds.
Coupled with the strong work of the IG community and law enforcement agents around the country, the ROC has proved to be a very effective oversight tool the past three years. What have been the results? For a program with so much money in the pipeline, the fraud numbers are surprisingly low. All told, the latest statistics show, an estimated $11.1 million has been lost to fraud. The 29 IGs with Recovery oversight responsibility have more than 1,900 investigations under way; convictions and judgments total 598.Many of those IG inquiries are based on information referred by ROC analysts.
Meanwhile, we are continually helping agencies review sensitive procurement issues, including some with criminal potential sent to us by the Department of Justice and others in law enforcement. "The ROC allows the IGs and DOJ prosecutors to focus their assets better. They can target risks within a program,'' says John McCarty, the Board's Assistant Director for Law Enforcement Liaison. "The ROC allows you to build a case from a reasonable suspicion to probable cause—rapidly and with reliability.''
Let's take a look at some of the ROC's results:
- Working with the Veterans Benefit Administration, an arm of the Department of Veterans Affairs, ROC analysts discovered that veterans claimed more than 16,000 dependents with Social Security numbers matching those of dead people. We briefed the benefits agency on our findings.
- In a separate review, conducted jointly with the Department of Veterans Affairs, ROC analysts found that more than 150 potential shell companies may have improperly received Recovery funds set aside for the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business program. Our findings were forwarded to the relevant IGs for further review.
- Acting on information supplied by a news reporter, ROC analysts identified nearly 30 potentially fraudulent Medicare providers operating in two dilapidated buildings. The information was provided to the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human Services.
- ROC analysts discovered that more than 400 Recovery Act recipients of funds from 15 federal agencies had previously been terminated for default. Most certified incorrectly, some multiple times, that they had not been terminated for default.
The list could go on but suffice it to say that we are undertaking even more ambitious projects and handling dozens of requests for assistance from various federal agencies. Most involve Recovery funds but we are using the limited authority given to us by Congress to analyze other government spending projects unrelated to the Recovery program. What that tells you is this: The Recovery Board is taking the lead in providing strong oversight of the use of taxpayer funds.

We got fiber optic internet installed in our very rural area (that will not be developing anytime soon). We already had DsL, which was fine, but our Netflix took a while to load. The people installing gave me the figures: 300 homes at a cost of $3 million! That is 10K per home! They also told me Obama's stimulus bill was paying for it. Actually, my kids and grandkids will be paying for it! So I can have uninterrupted Netflix . . .
"the fraud numbers are surprisingly low. All told, the latest statistics show, an estimated $11.1 million has been lost to fraud." Are low? 11.1 million is NOT acceptable. You may call it low–I call it too much-high.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Federal authorities say three Chinese immigrants have been arrested after being found hidden in the trunk of a car at a checkpoint south of Tucson.
U.S. Border Patrol officials say agents using a dog and an X-ray scanner determined that the three were being transported in the trunk of a vehicle passing though the Interstate 19 checkpoint.
Authorities say the car was being driven by a U.S. resident whose name wasn't released Wednesday.
They say the driver was arrested and the three Chinese immigrants were being processed to be returned to their home country.

Tor Fantasy
The Thirteen Orphans and their allies have opened the ninth gate into the Lands Born from Smoke and Sacrifice . . . and discover that the Lands have been altered almost beyond recognition, transformed by magic into an apparently uninhabited world where land shifts beneath one's feet and fire burns blue. Investigating, the Orphans learn that the Center of the world is sealed behind nearly-impassable barriers composed of each of the five elements of Chinese myth. Combining ancient and modern magics, a scouting party penetrates the barriers, only to be captured and given over to tortures designed to separate the Orphans from their magical abilities.
On Earth, Pearl Bright, the Tiger, is attacked—is this treachery by our world's magical traditions or has one of the Orphans betrayed her? Brenda Morris learns of the Orphans' dangers when it is nearly too late—but along with the sidhe, who are drawn to her Irish heritage, Brenda risks her life to help rescue those trapped in the Lands.
A story of betrayal and redemption, of bravery in the face of terror, and of loyalty and hatred that reach beyond the grave, Five Odd Honors continues Jane Lindskold's stunning Breaking the Wall series.
"A convincing tale of a young woman entering adulthood, assuming responsibility for herself and others, and making sometimes-wrenching decisions. Recommend this one to [readers] who enjoy urban fantasies by authors such as Charles de Lint, Jim Butcher, or Lilith Saintcrow."--School Library Journal on Thirteen Orphans
"Fans of Charles de Lint and Jim Butcher will enjoy this intricate, beautifully written urban fantasy and will wait impatiently for the next installment."--VOYA on Thirteen Orphans
"I highly recommend Thirteen Orphans to readers who like urban fantasy, stories where brains are as important as powers, and just a touch of romance."--SFRevu.com on Thirteen Orphans
"[Recalls] stories by Chinese writers such as Amy Tan. An interesting blend of the modern world and Chinese mythology. I look forward to the sequel."--SciFi.com on Thirteen Orphans

WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish flag carrier LOT
LOT, the first European airline to receive the trouble-plagued Boeing 787s, canceled two transatlantic flights this week.
"A flight to Chicago was canceled on Wednesday because of problems with the power system, while another to Toronto was postponed due to issues associated with the plane's tracking system," LOT spokeswoman Barbara Pijanowska-Kuras said on Friday.
"The problems were minor and not linked to the battery problems behind the global grounding of the 787 fleet earlier this year."
LOT, besieged by its own financial problems, has four Dreamliner jets and expects to take delivery of two more.
Authorities grounded the entire fleet of new Dreamliners in January for more than three months over concerns with its overheating batteries. Regulators cleared the jets to fly again after Boeing re-designed the battery system.

Feeling better about Google's mobile transition
The search giant's profit increased by nearly 7% in the final quarter of 2012, as the company stemmed a slide in ad revenue.
This week, technology companies take their turn in the spotlight. And for some of them -- notably former market superstar Apple (AAPL) -- that's proving to be a most uncomfortable place to be.
The technology universe offers a muddled outlook, and that may be why the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) has lagged in recent weeks as other major market indicators have either set new highs -- the Russell 2000 Index ($RUT) -- or broken above technical barriers and into territory not seen in months -- the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX). For the year, the Nasdaq is up about 4.5%, while the S&P 500 has risen closer to 5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) has climbed 5.1%.
Trying to anticipate what kind of earnings will come from the technology universe is tricky, given the very different issues affecting various parts of that world.
And then came Google's (GOOG) results, announced Jan. 22. The bottom line of $10.59 a share, excluding some items, beat analysts' expectations of $10.42 a share. While revenue growth was an impressive 36%, it didn't measure up to what analysts had been looking for, at least once traffic acquisition costs were removed from the equation.
There are upsides that warrant a degree of optimism, though: The company announced an uptick in advertising and its average cost per click -- what advertisers fork over to Google every time you or I click on one of those buttons on a Google search return page or an ad on our Gmail accounts -- fell 6%, an improvement over the 15% slide in the third quarter. That encouraged analysts who had worried that the shift from computers to mobile devices would wallop Google's business.
"We come out of the fourth quarter feeling better about Google's mobile transition and segment growth rate going forward," JPMorgan Securities analyst Doug Anmuth said in a note to clients, cited by Reuters.

New York City commuters read from the opening pages of Lowboy.
Novelist John Wray reads a letter from his title character to his mother, written while Lowboy was spending time in a mental health facilty. Wray read at Spike Hill in Williamsburg on March 12.
Go inside WNYC's studio and see Wray's interview with Leonard Lopate.
Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, Bored to Death, Funny or Die, SNL, Youth in Revolt, Up in the Air, Comedians of Comedy) in conversation with John Wray (author of the critically acclaimed Lowboy).
"[Wray's] third novel, Lowboy, is his best yet . . . Lowboy is told in a series of impressionistic flashes . . . and it moves with extremely confident speed to its heart-wrenching conclusion." —Steve Donoghue, The OLM Blog, Open Letters
"Wray's writing is tremendously smart and perceptive." —Alison Hallett, The Portland Mercury
"Occasionally comical and consistently tragic, Lowboy is an engaging novel with a difficult subject." —Mark Flanagan, About.com
"[Lowboy is] truly remarkable!" —Leah Taylor, Flavorwire
"Wray's breakthrough novel . . . will likely be filed alongside the work of his bestselling Brooklyn contemporaries. Lowboy's meticulous mapping of metropolitan myth recalls Paul Auster's City of Glass and nods to the genre tics of Jonathan Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn . . . This poetic, stirringly strange novel offers an empathic reminder that, for many, the light at the end of the tunnel can be taken for a harbinger of doom." —Akiva Gottlieb, Los Angeles Times
"Wray captures Lowboy almost immediately and gives him to us in intense, sharp pages that burst in our minds as we read . . . When you're reading Lowboy you know, in the hands of its talented young creator, that it's certainly the best thing." —Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune
"Strange and splendid . . . What makes Lowboy extraordinary is its rapt conviction, not the cool manipulation of plot devices." —Craig Seligman, Bloomberg.com
"John Wray's latest novel, Lowboy, is a compelling tale that captures the foreign internal and external landscapes of a teenager with mental illness . . . Wray depicts Will's descent into both the subway system and mental illness in clear, glittering prose . . . John Wray's writing itself is like a blessing, and reading Lowboy, while not a religious experience, is perhaps as close as a person can come to experiencing the mix of poignant and desperate emotions and actions that come together in a teenager with mental illness."—Doug Robins, Sacramento Book Review
"John Wray's prose is at once spare and powerful, comic and profound, and as his protagonist's fate unfolds, the suspense rises until the very last line." —Sandra Mangan, The Evening News
"Wray has created a novel that is rich in characters and insights. You may be able to finish it in half a day, but William's view of the world will almost certainly stay with you for longer." —Marcel Thee, Jarkarta Globe
"[Lowboy] is weird and horribly sad, but balanced and completely believable. [It] will leave a gnawing pain in your stomach, like hunger or fear or the feeling that he's got it all right." —Micah Ling, Keyhole
"Dizzyingly seductive . . . Making your central character deeply insane is, of course, a risky and ambitious trick, but Wray carries it off with a fluid, inventive style that rises at times to a frightening pitch." —Michael Lindgren, The Washington Post
"Wray's pacing is superb . . . [and his] writing shines . . . This is a fine novel by a talented writer." —Gordon Houser, The Wichita Eagle
"Wray spins out an increasingly suspenseful, psychologically astute narrative, perfectly pitching the voice to accommodate each character's particular motivations." —Eric Liebetrau, Paste Magazine
"Lowboy is an incredibly competent novel from a young, clearly passionate writer . . . Wray deposits moments of exposition at key points in his apparent madcap narrative, showing the careful planning and loving consideration of a first-rate writing talent. His prose flies along with the unstoppable force of a subway train, but he can still make me pause and wring my heart out over poor Lowboy." —Jillian J. Goodman, The Harvard Crimson
"John Wray handles it all masterfully in this odd story [that is] part sci-fi parable, part mental health drama, part love story." —Ralph Greco, Jr., Short and Sweet NYC blog

Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines Technical Revision
IFC is launching a three-year consultative process to revise the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines. More »
This page (www.ifc.org/ehsguidelines) contains the most updated versions of the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines (known as the "EHS Guidelines").
The EHS Guidelines were developed as part of a two and a half year review process that ended in 2007. They are intended to be living documents and are occasionally updated.
The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP), as defined in
IFC's Performance Standard 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention. IFC uses the EHS Guidelines as a technical source of information during project appraisal activities, as described in IFC's Environmental and Social Review Procedures Manual [PDF].
The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable to IFC, and that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities at reasonable costs by existing technology. For IFC-financed projects, application of the EHS Guidelines to existing facilities may involve the establishment of site-specific targets with an appropriate timetable for achieving them. The environmental assessment process may recommend alternative (higher or lower) levels or measures, which, if acceptable to IFC, become project- or site-specific requirements.
When host country regulations differ from the levels and measures presented in the EHS Guidelines, projects will be required to achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures than those provided in the EHS Guidelines are appropriate in view of specific project circumstances, a full and detailed justification must be provided for any proposed alternatives through the environmental and social risks and impacts identification and assessment process. This justification must demonstrate that the choice for any alternate performance levels is consistent with the objectives of Performance Standard 3.
Translations of the EHS Guidelines are now available:
The General EHS Guidelines contain information on cross-cutting environmental, health, and safety issues potentially applicable to all industry sectors. It should
be used together with the relevant industry sector guideline(s).

Wildwood Springs Lodge welcomes the New Riders of the Purple Sage to their Wildwood Concert Series, Sep. 29, 6 p.m.-10 p.m.
The New Riders of the Purple sage, signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis, released its eponymous first album in September 1971 to widespread acclaim. In the next 11 years the band toured and released over 12 albums, selling over 4 million records.
NRPS began as a part-time spin-off from the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia (pedal steel guitar), Phil Lesh (bass) and Mickey Hart (drums) teamed up with John Dawson (guitar, vocals) and David Nelson (guitar). Although early live appearances were viewed as an informal warm-up to the main attraction, the group quickly established an independent identity through the strength of Dawson's original songs.
By 1970 Dave Torbert had replaced Lesh, and Spencer Dryden, formerly of Jefferson Airplane, had joined as the group's permanent drummer. Garcia remained in both The Dead and The New Riders until he found himself overcommitted, at which time Buddy Cage replaced him and the classic NRPS lineup was born.

With the return of hipster favorites Ra Ra Riot, Toro y Moi, and The Joy Formidable, this is an especially fertile week for indie rock releases. Also on the menu are new offerings from classic punk stalwarts Bad Religion and OurStage's own rising star Tyler Bryant.
Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown – Wild Child
We've been fans of Tyler Bryant's barn-burning blues guitar skills for years, and now, with the release of Wild Child, Bryant and his band are poised to take the national scene by storm. Their new album has enough plaintive slide guitar, ripping solos, boot stomping and gang vocals to last you a lifetime. Or at least until their next release comes out.
By the way, the single "Say A Prayer" is currently iTunes' Free Single Of The Week.
Ra Ra Riot – Beta Love
Ra Ra Riot are back with an album of danceable minimalist synth pop that also manages to incorporate more organic sounds from swelling string arrangements. Strong echoes of David Byrne are still recognizable in frontman Wes Miles' voice, but he generally sounds much more self-assured and in reach of a true personal vocal style this time around.

Enforcer Scheduled to Return to Boston on Monday
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, entering their 19th season in the American Hockey League, today announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have assigned forward Brian McGrattan to Providence for conditioning. The P-Bruins have three games this weekend, after which McGrattan is scheduled to rejoin Boston on Monday, November 1.
McGrattan, 29, has yet to appear in any of Boston's seven games this season after signing a one-year contract with the Bruins as a free agent on October 11. The right wing was invited to Bruins training camp on a tryout and accompanied the squad to Belfast and Prague.
The ninth-year pro is a veteran of 379 games, including 182 at the NHL level. McGrattan has spent time at the game's top level with the Ottawa Senators, Phoenix Coyotes and, most recently in 2009-10, the Calgary Flames. In parts of five NHL seasons, the right wing has scored 14 points (3g, 11a) and totaled 395 penalty minutes.
In McGrattan's pro career, including AHL time with the Binghamton Senators and San Antonio Rampage, he has registered 61 points (28g, 33a) and racked up 1,448 PIM during the regular season, plus two assists and 28 PIM in eight postseason games. McGrattan owns the AHL single-season penalty minutes record after accumulating 551 in 71 games during the 2004-05 campaign as a member of the Senators. That total included 53 minors, 41 majors, 18 misconducts and six game misconducts.
The native of Hamilton, Ontario, was originally selected by the Los Angeles Kings 104th overall in round four of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
The P-Bruins' roster is now comprised of 24 players, including 15 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
Providence gets back into action tonight at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for Pink in the Rink Night against the Albany Devils at 7:05 p.m. All fans will receive free pink T-shirts as portions of the proceeds from the evening will go to support the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation. The P-Bruins then play a home-and-home series with the Worcester Sharks, Saturday at the DCU Center at 1 p.m. and Sunday at The Dunk on 1:05 p.m. Sunday's game will feature special Halloween-themed posters, free to the first 1,000 fans.
P-Bruins ticket packages and individual game tickets are on sale now for the 2010-11 season. To purchase tickets or for more information, call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

Rising to the challenge
The 186,000-square-foot Gary & Donna Hall Tower, which opened at Freeman West in fall 2007, gave the health system room to grow and provided patients with enhanced trauma services, life-saving technologies, and soothing amenities to make families feel at home and speed patient recovery.
Freeman built the 6-story expansion to fulfill its mission of improving the health of the communities it serves through contemporary, innovative, quality healthcare solutions. This expansion tripled the size of the emergency room and added 56 private patient rooms, 250 conveniently located parking places, and a new physical plant to the facility.
In 2003, Freeman began planning for the needs of an aging population, reasoning that as baby boomers get older, the demand for hospital services would increase. "We needed room to grow," said Lance Beshore, PhD, Chairman of the Freeman Health System Board of Directors.
While health system administrators initially proposed a modest expansion, the Freeman Board of Directors wanted more; plans for a six-story tower grew from their vision. "I think the spirit here is very entrepreneurial," Beshore said. "It's risk-taking with a calculated approach, trying to improve healthcare for the people here. It's not about going up; it's about providing healthcare services for people right here in their community. People in this area used to go to Tulsa, Kansas City, or Little Rock for procedures and surgeries. That's all changed."
Gary & Donna Hall Tower was built to improve the health of the community by giving the hospital space to house medical innovation and increase patient satisfaction. In addition, the beauty of the design improves the image of the community, and the quality of the facility helps attract new residents and new businesses to the area.
The 5th floor of Gary & Donna Hall Tower opened in March 2012, while the 6th floor is currently under construction. Additional patient rooms require additional nurses and support staff; this translates into more good-paying jobs to stimulate the economy. Experts predict a doctor shortage in the next few years, and the new Freeman expansion will help recruiters bring qualified physicians to work in the Four States ensuring the continued, close-to-home availability of essential healthcare services.
Project description and distinguishing features
Trends in healthcare point to customer convenience and amenities—Gary & Donna Hall Tower provides many innovative features that promote both lifesaving healthcare and exceptional customer service.
Emergency Department features:
Lots of windows and natural light throughout facility
Decorated with refreshing colors and photographs of four-state scenery
Built-in noise-reduction measures such as wide corridors and glassed-enclosed nursing stations
Waterfall in lobby
Integrated, state-of-the-art nurse call and communication systems
Plentiful, comfortable waiting areas throughout the facility
Retail services—QuickMeds Pharmacy™ and Freeman Gift Gallery—conveniently located in the hospital lobby
Region's first Admitting & Discharge Lounge with private exit to car
Multiple drive-up lanes to main entrance for customer convenience
Environmental and energy impact
Freeman's expansion also included the construction of a new physical plant to meet the electrical and heating and cooling demands of the new facility as well as those of the existing hospital. Described as Freeman's hidden gem, the new physical plant features environmental controls, designed exclusively for Freeman, that conserve energy as efficiently as any in the world. The plant also uses a state-of-the art chill water system that does everything from providing drinking water to cooling the temperature of patient rooms to sterilizing surgical instruments.
Construction overview
The Freeman expansion project took place in phases. First phase site improvements included reorientation and construction of all parking lots adjacent to Freeman West, relocation of the existing water main, new electrical service for the addition, demolition of an existing office building, alignment of 34th Street, and new streets to the main and emergency entries and parking lots; the second phase centered on building the six-story tower; and the third phase focused on construction of a new, two-story, stand- alone central plant.

Summer 2013, Volume 21, Number 3
September is the 24th annual National Recovery Month, which celebrates people in recovery from mental and substance use disorders, their treatment and service providers, and the idea that recovery is possible. Now, Recovery Month is going international.
Last year, Recovery Month celebrations took place in countries as diverse as Canada, England, Indonesia, Japan, and Tanzania, as well as all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Communities in Canada and England are already planning events for 2013. There is even talk at SAMHSA of adding an international category to the awards recognizing those who organize the best Recovery Month community events.
People marching in Tokyo, Japan's Recovery Month Parade.
"Recovery is a whole new concept in some countries," said Ivette A. Torres, M.Ed., M.Sc., Director of Consumer Affairs in SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, who is working to engage Recovery Month participants in the Americas while on detail to the Pan-American Health Organization in Washington, DC. "The response I've received demonstrates there is certainly an interest."
No matter where in the world Recovery Month events take place, the theme this year will be the same: "Join the Voices of Recovery: Together on Pathways to Wellness." That theme highlights two ideas—that individuals are not alone on the journey toward recovery and that there are many paths to recovery, including medical care and other professional treatment, group support, and self-help.
For its part, SAMHSA will officially kick off Recovery Month with a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, on September 4. In addition to launching Recovery Month, the press conference will feature the release of the latest findings from SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. At a brunch sponsored by the National Association for Children of Alcoholics and the Entertainment Industries Council following the press event, SAMHSA will present its annual community event awards.
This year's National Recovery Month main event will be a Rally for Recovery organized by the Rhode Island Rally for Recovery Coalition. Organizers hope the event, which will take place on September 21 in Providence, RI, will draw more than 15,000 participants from throughout the region.
If you want to organize an event in your own community, consult the 2013 Recovery Month Toolkit. The toolkit features planning tools as well as educational materials you can distribute in your community or at your local event. You'll learn how to organize and promote events, reach out to the media, issue official proclamations, get the word out on radio and beyond, and raise funds to support your efforts. There are even sample logos, banners, and proclamations.
"You don't need a lot of money to put together an event," emphasized Ms. Torres, adding that collaborating with local partners is a key cost-saving strategy. "Plus," she said, "partners don't have to give money. A neighborhood coffee shop might offer refreshments and other contributions to volunteers and participants, for example. It's especially important to consider inviting elected officials since they could play a key role in supporting recovery in communities throughout the U.S."
"A lot can be done with a phone call!" said Ms. Torres. "Someone knows someone, and poof! It happens."

Peter Capaldi named new Doctor Who
Peter Capaldi has been named as the twelfth actor to play Doctor Who, the main character of the long-running science-fiction series of the same name, replacing Matt Smith, who has played the role for the past four years.
"It's so wonderful not to keep this secret any longer," Capaldi says. "I haven't played Doctor Who since I was 9 on the playground." The announcement was made during a live television special on the BBC, offering a glimpse of the series' upcoming 50th anniversary special. Capaldi himself won't make his first appearance until the 2013 Christmas Special.
Scottish actor Capaldi is best known as the foul-mouthed political fixer Malcolm Tucker in the TV series "The Thick of It" and its movie spin-off, "In the Loop," though he also showed up previously in the "Doctor Who" universe as part of the "Torchwood" miniseries, "Children of Earth."

All Americans deserve comprehensive health coverage.
According to the Census Bureau, 49.9 million Americans were uninsured in 2010, a slight increase from 49 million in 2009. The federal government provides health coverage to some Americans through the Medicare and Medicaid programs and to some low-income children through the Children's Health Insurance Program. In 2014, the provisions in the Affordable Care Act will greatly expand health insurance to many of the uninsured.
APHA calls on Congress to fully implement and fund the main public health and coverage provisions included in the Affordable Care Act that take effect in 2014.

Due to a special event taking place in the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, September 18, there will be no tours of the U.S. Capitol that day until approximately noon. The Capitol Visitor Center will remain open during this time, and guided tours in the Capitol Visitor Center will be available.
After the Nineteenth Amendment secured women's voting rights in 1920, suffragist Alice Paul drafted the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to guarantee women's full legal equality. Introduced in every Congress from 1923 to 1972, the ERA was repeatedly stymied in committee. Its opponents feared loss of special protections for women and resisted increasing federal authority. In 1970 Representative Martha Griffiths of Michigan got the ERA discharged from committee. Slightly revised, the amendment passed both houses in 1972 but failed ratification by the required number of states and was never adopted.

"I was surprised how swiftly my proof was reviewed and the short amount of time which it took to arrive at my door! Wonderful service as well as product! Thank you!"
"I am having two bridal showers (for people who live in two different cities), and this is the invitation my sister/maid-of-honor picked for one of them. I absolutely love the design and the shape. When we were viewing it online, we thought the "marigold" color looked almost baby poo-ish, but it turns out it is actually a really nice yellow/gold color. It is so incredibly classy looking, yet still super fun. I can't wait to mail them out! We ordered the ones with the "bracket" edge, and it was definitely worth the extra money. It makes this already cute and classy invitation even more so!"
"This is the third time I have used wedding paper divas. I ordered my saves the dates, and wedding invitations from them as well. The quality from all of my products has been very good, Beautiful designs, and VERY fast delivery. I have received every product within days of placing my order. I love wedding paper divas! I recommend them to all of my newly engaged friends! And would definitely use them again!"
"Easy to personalize. Came quickly. Paper is good thick card stock. Color is as shown onscreen. Used Vintage Circus stamps to continue with the theme. Lots of fun!"
"The service was rapid and the graphic designer did a great job to ensure the text works with the image. I had a great experience and look forward to using Wedding Paper Divas again soon :)"

This woman obviously brought in her smartphone to the voting booth, but at least covered up her completed ballot.
It's usual for many people to document your lives with photographs, but the voting booth may not be that place.
Several states have laws against bringing in photographic or recording devices into the polling place, and your smartphone counts as one of those devices, according to AllThingsD. California law states, "After his or her ballot is marked, a voter shall not show it to any person in such a way as to reveal its contents," and although it doesn't expressly say online, we think it's a good bet that it probably also means taking photographs of it with your smartphone.
Wisconsin recently informed voters not to tweet photos of their ballots or put them on Facebook -- but both state party chairs did so anyway (and then removed them.) And one voter in North Carolina was relieved of his smartphone when he whipped it out at the polling place.
We think it's great that people are excited to be voting and we applaud that. However, it's illegal in many states to take pictures of your completed ballot or bring in photographic equipment to the polling place. While we don't know if anyone will actually be arrested on election day for doing this, it will likely annoy polling place officials. Save your photos for outside of the voting booth and the building and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Phantom to reach 100 points last Friday with his
power-play goal from the left-circle at Binghamton.
He is the 22nd player in the 17-year history of
the Phantoms' franchise into the 100-point club
but the first to do it exclusively with Adirondack.
A couple weeks ago, he passed Denis Hamel (96)
for the most points in Adirondack Phantoms history.
Two other players are also in the Phantoms 100-Point
club. Danny Syvret (141) and David Laliberte (123)
had some of their points with the Philadelphia
Phantoms in 2008-09 too.

Apr 3 - Cal Heeter (G) - Recalled from loan by
Philadelphia (NHL)
One of the newest Adirondack Phantoms is Brandon
Alderson who joined the team this week.
The 21-year-old just completed his Major Juniors
career with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in
the Ontario Hockey League. He signed an entry-level
contract with the Philadelphia Flyers last month
(pictured below). Welcome to the Phantoms, Brandon!
Cal Heeter received a nice opportunity
due to Philadelphia's in-between state among their
backup goalies. Wednesday afternoon, the Flyers
traded Michael Leighton to Columbus in exchange
for Steve Mason. But Mason would not be able to
make it to Philadelphia in time to serve as the
backup goalie for the game. So Heeter was called
upon to take that role and barely made it to Wells
Fargo Center in time for the game. He didn't get
to play, but just the experience of getting to
dress for an NHL game for the first time was a
nice moment for the rookie goalie.
Phantoms Week in Review
Friday, March 29 - Binghamton Senators
5 - Adirondack Phantoms 2
Jason Akeson became the first player to reach
100 points with the Adirondack Phantoms when he
blasted his team-leading 15th goal of the season
in the second period, but Adirondack lost on the
road to the Binghamton Senators 5-2 on Friday
Binghamton raced out to a 4-0 lead by the opening
minutes of the second period and the Phantoms
weren't able to recover. Adirondack helped open
the game up when they got down in the game and
had several chances to narrow the margin in the
wild and exciting second period but only the Akeson
tally would get past Nathan Lawson in that frame.
Eric Wellwood also scored for the Phantoms, on
a power play early in the third period, for his
ninth of the year. Adirondack had closed the lead
to 4-2 but Derek Grant's goal about seven minutes
into the third would dim the Phantoms' hopes of
a comeback. Cole Schneider had two goals for Binghamton
who improved to 4-3-0 against Adirondack this
year. The game ended the Phantoms' two-game winning
Saturday, March 30 - Adirondack Phantoms
4 - Bridgeport Sound Tigers 1
It was a sneak-peak into the future of the Adirondack
Phantoms and some of the additions likely to be
on the team next season. Newcomers Kyle Flanagan
and Derek Mathers both notched their first professional
goals as Adirondack disposed of the Bridgeport
Sound Tigers 4-1 on Saturday night in Glens Falls.
The Phantoms have won their last four straight
home games as they improved to 3-1-1 against the
Sound Tigers this year. Adirondack knocked out
veteran goalie Rick DiPietro in the process.
Rookie Marcel Noebels (11th) and veteran Jon Sim
(4th with ADK) also scored in the win. For Sim,
the goal came against his former team as well
as teammate in DiPietro. He had played with Bridgeport
and their parent-club, the New York Islanders,
a couple seasons ago.
Noebels recorded his fourth goal in his last seven
games. The young prospect from Germany now has
20 total goals this season including the nine
he scored with Trenton in the ECHL in the first-half
of the season.
But it was Flanagan and Mathers who perhaps drew
the most attention as the newest kids on the block
scored the first two goals on the night with puck-saving
moments on their historic professional firsts.
Saratoga Spine Phantoms Player of the
Week - Kyle Flanagan
It was a nice start in the professional career
of Kyle Flanagan who earns Saratoga Spine Player
of the Week honors. He scored his first pro goal
less than two minutes into Saturday night's game,
added a terrific assist later on a Jon Sim deflection,
and earned #1 Star of the Game honors. All of
this in just his fourth game as a pro.
The Hobey Baker Finalist out of St. Lawrence University
who comes to the Phantoms from Canton, NY (home
of SLU) was one of the top scorers in college
hockey scoring 15 goals and 32 assists for 47
points in only 35 games this year.
Key Team Stats
The Phantoms are...
- 26-8-3 when tied or leading after two periods.
(15-2-1 if leading after two. 11-6-2 if tied after
- 13-3-1 when leading after one period.
- 22-4-2 when score 3 or more goals
- 16-1-1 when they score 4 or more goals
- 2-2 in overtimes and 4-3 in shootouts for a
combined 6-5 in games decided after regulation.
- 13 of the Phantoms wins have come when they
have held the opponents to 0 or 1 goals.
- 19-5-1 when scoring the first goal.
- 16-14-1 at home
- 24-16-2 when scoring at least one PPG
Power Surge
The Phantoms have been lighting it up especially
well on the power play. All the more impressive
when one considers the various promotions to Philadelphia
and all the roster moves and near-constant changes
to the personnel on the team's man-advantage.
Adirondack has notched a power-play goal in each
of the last four games going 8-for-20 (40%). The
Phantoms are also 13-for-49 (26.5%) in their last
nine games.
The Phantoms keep leap-frogging past teams with
all their power-play goals lately and have moved
all the way up to 13th out of 30 in the AHL at
Upcoming Opponents
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, 37-28-4 (Pittsburgh
Friday, April 5 (7:00) - Glens Falls Civic Center
- $2 Draft Beer Specials
Adirondack and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton wrap up the
four-game regular season series as the Penguins
visit Glens Falls for their only trip this year.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is in sixth-place in the
Eastern Conference with 78 points entering the
last three weeks of the regular season. They are
on a four-game point streak which included a 3-2
win at Norfolk on Tuesday in their most recent
Jeff Zatkoff seems to have won the #1 goaltender
position on the team and, in fact, is the #1 goaltender
in the AHL right now with some impressive stats
boosted by the stingy defense of his teammates
in front of him. Zatkoff's 1.99 goals-against
average is best in the AHL and his .919 saves
percentage rates highly as well.
The Penguins boast the top defense in the AHL
allowing just 2.35 goals per game. They accomplish
that by limiting their opponents shots on goal,
26 per game which is second-best in the AHL. WBS
is an impressive 20-9-4 in one-goal games this
Bobby Farnham knows how to agitate and drop the
gloves. He leads AHL rookies with 19 major penalties
and also leads in minor penalties with 32.
Trevor Smith (21-25-46) and Riley Holzapfel (18-26-44)
lead the offense.
Rochester Americans, 37-26-4 (Buffalo Sabres)
Saturday, April 6 (7:00) - Glens Falls Civic Center
Fan Appreciation Night presented by Stored-Tech
- Hundreds of Prizes!
Adirondack is 1-2 against Rochester this season
but has not played against the Americans since
December. The Americans are in fifth-place in
the Western Conference with 78 points and are
in good shape for a post-season berth.
One needs to beat these guys in the first 65 minutes.
If the game gets to a shootout, Rochester is 7-1,
best in the AHL.
Ron Rolston was in his second year as head coach
of the Americans but was called up to Buffalo
on February 20 after the Sabres fired Lindy Ruff.
Assistant Chadd Cassidy took over at the helm
shortly after.
David Leggio is the workhorse goaltender of the
AHL again this season. He is running away with
the league lead in total games (57), minutes (3433)
and saves (1765). His 35 victories give him a
three-win advantage over Niklas Svedberg of Providence
for most in that category as well. He made 23
consecutive starts to finish last season and continued
that streak and extended it to 35 consecutive
Leggio was CCM/AHL Goaltender of the Month for
March gong 9-4-0, 1.86, .946 with two shutouts.
He allowed two goals or fewer in 11 of those 13
Rochester isn't just about the goaltending though.
They are fifth in the league in total offense
with 3.1 goals per game. They will give the opponents
some chances as they allow 33.5 shots against
per game which is 29th out of 30. Indeed, the
last time Adirondack played against Rochester
was December 7 at Blue Cross Arena as the Phantoms
outshot the Amerks 42-21 yet lost the game 3-1
against rookie Connor Knapp in a rare game NOT
started by Leggio.
Mark Mancari (20-38-58) leads the offense. Brayden
McNabb from the blue-line has 5-21-36.
Bridgeport Sound Tigers, 28-28-11
(New York Islanders)
Sunday, April 7 (5:00) - Webster Bank Arena, Bridgeport,
Adirondack is 3-1-1 entering the sixth and last
game of the regular-season series against their
Northeast Division rivals.
The Phantoms bounced Rick DiPietro to an early
exit last Saturday in a 4-1 win in Glens Falls.
Adirondack last played at Bridgeport on March
2 in a match-up of Sound Tigers alums. Rick DiPietro
of Bridgeport defeated Scott Munroe of Adirondack
4-3 in that one on a late game-winner by Brock
Nelson of the Sound Tigers shortly after Matt
Konan's first career professional goal had tied
it for Adirondack. It was DiPietro's first win
in Bridgeport since 2002.
Bridgeport is allowing 3.25 goals per game which
is 30th out of 30 in the AHL.
Rick DiPietro - 6-5-0, 3.08, .888. The most famous
Bridgeport Sound Tiger who was sent down from
the Islanders about a month ago. The #1 overall
pick in the draft in 2000 out of Boston University
has a career NHL record of 130-133-8-28, 2.86,
.903 with the Islanders. This season, he went
0-3 in three games for New York with a 4.09 goals-against.
He had last suited up for Bridgeport in 2009-10
playing in four games going 1-2. His last AHL
win was December 19, 2009 at Springfield and his
last AHL game was January 3, 2010 vs. the Worcester
Sharks in a loss.
Head Coach Scott Pellerin - 1992 Hobey Baker
Award winner from the University of Maine might
be remembered by long-time fans in the area when
he played for the Albany River Rats for three
seasons including on their Calder Cup Championship
team in 1995. He also played in 536 career NHL
games mostly with New Jersey and St. Louis. In
first season as AHL head coach after serving as
an assistant coach with Manchester for six years.
Nino Niederreiter - 26-19-45. 20 year old Swiss
prospect. 5th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry
Draft while Philadelphia's Brayden Schenn was
the fifth overall selection in the 2009 draft
(by the Los Angeles Kings). 55 games with Islanders
last year scoring 1 goal. 41 goals with Portland
(WHL) in 2010-11.
Brock Nelson, 19-26-45. Another 2010 first-rounder
(30th overall). Joined the team last season out
of the University of North Dakota.
Aaron Ness, 3-22-25. In second full season with
Bridgeport. Second-round pick in 2008 out of the
University of Minnesota.

Good morning! If you liked the fog and clouds yesterday (okay, okay I know... most people are craving sunshine) you're going to love today. Our Friday should be very much a repeat of what we saw yesterday. We'll start with clouds and fog across the region and temperatures in the teens.
By the afternoon we could see a few sporadic sunbreaks--but this will be limited. Some patchy afternoon fog as well and highs in the upper 20s.
Our Air Stagnation Advisory for limited air movement and an increase in possible pollution and air quality is extended to Tuesday.
Have a wonderful weekend folks!
