I created a simple website in Drupal Garden for a small tourism company. I would like to make it look better so we can publish the site. Majority of content and layout is done, just need it to look better, add images, connect with facebook/twitter, etc. Shouldn't be a big job, but need to have someone that doesn't need a lot of direction to make it a really great-looking site.

Ready to strengthen your body and feel younger?
Yoga is a holistic path of health and vitality. Regular practice tones and aligns the physical body and washes away stagnant energy. Your strength and muscle tone increase, along with your balance and flexibility. Yoga breathing techniques are deeply calming to the mind and nervous system, and many students report less anxiety and better sleep. Chronic pain is often released with a regular yoga practice.
Yoga is a comprehensive system for awakening the highest attributes of body, mind and spirit. It replenishes your wellspring of energy and mental clarity. The more frequently you practice (including doing yoga on your own), the more long-term benefits you will experience.
Your first yoga class is always free! I offer your first class for free, so you can try it for yourself and see if it is a good fit for what you want and need. If you are under the care of a doctor or physical therapist, always ask their advice before beginning a yoga practice.
Shari Philpott-Marsh leads yoga classes for students at all ability levels. She brings over two decades of teaching experience to her classes, and provides detailed instruction and support throughout the class. Shari specializes in making yoga practice accessible for everyone, and radiates a compassionate and joyful presence.
See more information on the Yoga FAQ and Yoga Classes & Pricing pages.
Is Yoga for me?
If you are ready to breathe deeply, flush out stress and strengthen the connection between body, mind and spirit — then yoga is for you. At the end of every class you feel greater ease and a sense of renewal.
In the course of love,
all that is not love must first rise to the surface
to be burned away, until nothing but love remains.

The construction of a copper and gold mine will have a serious impact on the lives of indigenous people living in a remote corner of Papua New Guinea, affecting the environment and the local economy and culture.Struggling for justice and presenting their case requires villagers on the Middle Sepik River to have access to information and communication. And yet a survey carried out in the Upper and Middle Sepik villages confirms that there has been little sharing of information on the part of the Xstrata mining company or the Government of PNG.Undertaken by the Sepik Wetlands Management Initiative (SWMI) with support from WACC, the survey assessed awareness and knowledge regarding the potential social, economic, cultural, political and environmental impacts of the new mining complex on the region and its inhabitants.Between 13 and 16 of April a team of three resource persons, a boat skipper and an assistant travelled from village to village to gather data and conduct interviews and meetings with the local people. In all, 16 villages along the Sepik River were visited: Kamanjaw, Ambunti, Sanaut, Korough, Suatmeri, Indavu, Yentchen, Kanganamun, Tigawi, Kararau, Kamanimbit, Indingai, Aibom and Kandinge.The findings show that while 7% knew of the mining company's presence in the villages, 93% had no proper awareness of the potential impact of the mine on the community. Villagers raised serious concerns that the mining company is not doing enough to inform people of its plans. The same concern exists among the community with regards the government of PNG.With regard to impact of the mine on the community, all the villages showed great fear and concern that the mine and its supporting infrastructure will have serious biophysical, social , cultural and economic consequences on the Sepik River communities. The survey determined that the biophysical environment is the single most important factor that connects the lives of all the people in the Sepik River region. Any detrimental impact on the biophysical environment will affect the food chain as well as the river communities socially, economically and culturally.The report recommends that the mining company conducts proper awareness and information sessions among all the affected communities; that an association is formed incorporating three smaller groupings from the Upper, Middle and Lower Sepik River communities; and that social infrastructure services must be in place prior to the commissioning of the mine.After sharing of the results of the survey with NGOs and the communities themselves, the project began planning a similar survey in the Lower Sepik and the formal organization of the association that will represent the interest of the villages before the mining company and the government of PNG.

Citrus definitely prefer a more acidic soil. You could try feeding with sequestrene. This has a form of iron the plant can take up. The calcium binds with a lot of elements in the soil and stops the plant using them.
They should be outside in a greenhouse by now. They are possibly too hot in a window.
Arum italicum marmoratum is the garden version with the marbled leaves.
Stick the head in a vase of water. I did this last week, it will still open. When it's fully open you can let the water dry up and you will have a nice seed head.

It's a three hour drive each way for me . What time are you meeting up.?
Likewise, busy lizzie. My current raspberry patch is totally infested with perennial weeds, docks, bindweed etc. I think I will start a new patch , dig this lot out and give it a blitz to clear the land out and start again.
Raspberries are my favourite fruit. So I want suggestions for good varieties to give me continuity from as early as poss to late as poss.
I'm using Levington Pro M3.
It is peat based and intended for nurseries. Its lovely stuff. For some things that like sharper drainage I mix with fine grit.
I've stopped using compost with recycyled rubbish in. I got fed up with lumps of wood and the odd nail, not to mention shards of pottery and glass. I object to having to sieve it before use, surely they should do that on an industrial basis before it is bagged.?
I agree with you, Frank, I spend too much on seeds to lose them with poor compost.
I've got raspberries that roam. The roamers do better than the ones in the rows. Twice a year fruiting, first in Autumn, or into November last year, and then again on the same canes in June. I cant remember the variety, and they were only in the catalogues one year. big fruit, and the canes are currently at 8ft.
Where abouts in Derbyshire, Clarington?
Weird thing.. I just emptied a watering can and it rattled. When I investigated further, I found a pair of reading glasses(not mine) folded up inside.

The Tom Dougherty Blog
The Internet of Things is everywhere
In just the last few years, my life has been reimagined. Mind you, it hasn't been my doing, but rather, the Internet of Things that has done so.
If the Internet of Things is a phrase you are novice to, Wikipedia coins it as the "Network of physical objects or 'things' embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data."
I look to my life and the world my children and their children now live in, and it expands by the day. My son's home, for instance, is entrenched with the Internet of Things. He controls his music by calling out to the Amazon Echo to play him whatever stylings he desires. He and his wife control all the lights in their home by way of the Phillips Hue. They watch all of their TV through their Apple TVs, control the temperature of their home with a Nest, and they even have a smart lock for their front door in which they just tap on it to unlock.
Granted, he is an extreme example. What is not extreme to suggest that nearly all of us has taken a step towards constant connectivity through the devices in our home.
Should we fear the Internet of Things?
Techradar doesn't think so and looks forward to the future of the IoT: "The real power of the IoT may come from how easily we are able to integrate all of those different data sources – perhaps for the first time, we could see the hidden connections between people in one part of the world and producers in another or how our actions in one part of our lives influences our health, or the state of our cities."
Yet, the flip side of this argument hinges on how we can maintain our privacy in a constantly connected world. Already, I can be contacted wherever I go. Do I need my refrigerator to be able to contact me now too?
How does branding play into the Internet of Things?
As brand experts, part of our job is to stay current. If we do not appreciate the world around us, and act as brand anthropologists, we will never truly know the customer and context of the world in which they live in.
Ultimately, by embracing the Internet of Things, our strategies, tactics and executions will remain current. And fortunately, as a techie, embracing the IoT isn't hard for me at all.
Southwest Transfarency too clever
The image of the national airlines is so bad that when travelers were enduring long lines and delayed flights because of a Southwest Airlines computer glitch yesterday, we barely batted an eye. We expect the worst from our airlines – even from one of the most likable of all the airlines.
We at Stealing Share have long lamented the inability of airlines to create preference beyond ticket prices, loyalty programs and gate availability. The only brand that has come close is Southwest because it has basically positioned itself against all other airlines. Its advertising, as I've said before, comes this-close to saying that the other airlines are crooks.
It is, for that reason, that I'm not into their new campaign called Transfarency, a name the airline has admitted it made up and is supposed to state that Southwest is transparent with "nothing to hide."
The idea of Southwest Transfarency is right because, like a lot of Southwest's messages, it suggests that other airlines are not transparent. Anyone who has flown on any kind of regular basis would certainly agree with that. How airlines come up with ticket prices is more bewildering than how costs are created at the gas pump.
For example, if I fly from Greensboro to Charlotte to Orlando, say, it is less expensive than simply taking the direct flight from Charlotte to Orlando. How does that happen?
Cleverness is the enemy of all marketing.
Therefore, the idea of Southwest Transfarency is spot on. But the name itself is far too clever, and cleverness is always your enemy in marketing and branding messages. Clever sounds like it was written by Madison Avenue and, therefore, not believable. When you become clever, it just sounds like marketing and not of this world.
The best themelines are ones that are in spoken language, like Apple's "Think Different" and Nike's "Just Do It." Those are believable because they state exactly and clearly what the brand and those who use that brand stand for.
Transfarency sounds like something an ad agency sold to the airline without thinking whether it would resonate or not. (I can see the boardroom response now: "Wow. That's clever!") Even if Southwest says, "We're all about being open and honest with customers and making sure pesky fees stay away from our low fares," that's not really being transparent.
Now there's an idea. Why not show how those fares are created and simply use the spoken word "Transparent"? That would resonate in the market and would help Southwest Airlines say once again that the other airlines are thieves.
FanDuel v DraftKings and who really loses
Fantasy sports have become a multi-billion dollar business with FanDuel and DraftKings leading the way. It is estimated that Americans will spend about $5 billion on fantasy sports this year alone. FanDuel and DraftKings are taking in and paying out millions of dollars each.
In light of the recent scandal involving the two daily fantasy sports machines, the ad spend is shockingly high.
iSpot.tv, a media tracking site, says that in the first week of the NFL season, DraftKings spent more that $24 million on advertising, outpacing all other TV advertisers including AT&T, GEICO, Ford and Warner Brothers. In fact, DraftKings had nearly 7,000 national airings during that week. In the last seven days, FanDuel has spent more than $14.5 million on advertising, outspending all other advertisers other than GEICO during the same period of time. Basically, the FanDuel v DraftKings battle is resulting in an absurd amount of money spent on advertising – and both are making a huge mistake.
Who wins in FanDuel v DraftKings?
With all of the money these two companies are throwing at television, The FanDuel v DraftKings battle means they are only building the category, not preference. Think about it. They are advertising so much that I doubt most people could tell you which is which. I'm certain that most anyone who watches TV would be able to name both FanDuel and DraftKings, but they would be unable to differentiate the two.
Even with the scandal, few can say off the top of their head which side did the equivalent of insider trading.
The number of entries for each prove this to a certain extent with DraftKings having 3.75 million entries and FanDuel 3.18 million. While there is a small difference, I don't think the numbers show preference as much as they show the results of DraftKings spending more money earlier in the NFL season. The reality is that you can't put a sheet of paper between the differences of the two companies.
FanDuel and DraftKings have failed to give people a reason to choose one over other than "We have fantasy sports betting." I don't believe the ad spend at this level is sustainable and, when they pull it back, then what? If they were really smart, they would spend a fraction of their ad spend and hire a company like ours to position them in an undifferentiated market. Unless they do, once the fad dies down and/or fantasy sports betting becomes regulated and the advertising dollars dry up, all those loyal customers will simply move on with no reason to stay, because neither FanDuel nor DraftKings have given them any reason to.
The SEC Brand is more important than team excellence
No one manages its brand better than the SEC. How great is that SEC brand? Better than the real greatness of any of its member football teams.
As brand guy, I give keynote speeches on what corporations can learn from the SEC brand in terms of brand management. The SEC brand manages media reports, sport commentary, game day analysts and the supposed independent polls that make up the college football rankings. They manage the message and the message is BIGGER than the talent in the league.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think the teams are bad. Far from it. They are a good football conference made up of very good football teams who manage the SEC brand's polish by trying very hard not to give the outside world any means to judge the actual talent level of the individual teams. They have succeeded in this. They do this by playing virtually no one of substance from outside of their own co-conspirators.
Before I get into the examples of the conference's brand management for this year, I want to point out that last year the vast superiority of all the SEC teams found a rough landing in the post-season bowl games. The ongoing claim of the inherent mediocrity of everyone (except SEC teams) really showed its ugly side in post season.
In a recap of last year's SEC performance, Alabama lost to Ohio State in the first round of the National Championship series. Ole Miss was spanked by TCU in the Chick Fil-A Peach Bowl. Mississippi State (Number 1 in the polls for a bit) was handily beaten by Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Notre Dame beat LSU 31-28 and Auburn lost to Wisconsin. South Carolina was one of the few bright spots in the postseason by beating Miami (whose current coach is on the hot seat) 24-21. Arkansas beat a 6-6 Texas team 31-7. Missouri beat Minnesota, Georgia beat Louisville, Tennessee beat Iowa and Florida beat ECU. So in the final tally last year the SEC brand was 6-5. Not a bad record but by no means a dominating performance by a conference with that much hype. Why such a letdown? Does such a poor finish matter?
The SEC brand and Alabama
Nope. Not a jot. Let's look at Alabama this year and see exactly what is going on. Alabama was ranked third in preseason polls. It moved up to second with a 35-17 win over Wisconsin (3-2 at this writing with no wins over any major program). The Crimson Tide remained in that spot until it was defeated and nearly spanked at home by Ole Miss 37-43 (Ole Miss another SEC brand school and my sister's passion). So what happened to Alabama with that loss? Alabama dropped to 12th and Ole Miss rolled up to 3rd. After all, one team beat another SEC team and the other team lost to an SEC team. Neither scenario should matter in the eye of an SEC fan.
This past weekend, Alabama (an underdog for the first time in years) beat an undefeated SEC Georgia team. It had major repercussions in the national rankings because it was an SEC game. I am not even going to get into the shenanigans in the polls after The Gators beat the Rebels last week. Good grief.
This is where the SEC brand power diverges from the reality of the actual team performance. Georgia was favored and ranked 8thnationaly. Yet, when you look at the Georgia schedule, the Bulldogs have no major wins under their belt—unless you consider any win against any SEC team a signature win (I guess many do). Georgia beat lowly South Carolina and a 2-3 Vanderbilt team. The rest of its wins came against schools that were scheduled as gimmees. Middle Tennessee and Louisiana Monroe (who also played Alabama). Louisiana Monroe, by the way, is like the SEC version of the Harlem Globetrotters' arch rivals, the Washington Generals. You play them to ensure a win. They play you for the money. After this Alabama win, the 'Bama schedule toughens up until the matchup with their arch rivals Charleston Southern on November 21.
Why the SEC Brand and not SEC football?
So why is this about brand and not about reality? I am sure this blog will excite all sorts of emotional reactions from SEC fans. It's hard to dispassionately argue with the patsy scheduling and the lack of a desire to measure the conference mettle against quality non-conference foes. But considering the brand blindness exhibited by the fans, I don't blame them (the SEC brand managers). Why risk upsetting the brand battlewagon by stretching into no-win scenarios like playing a Pac 12, ACC or, dare I say, the AAC powerhouses? Ole Miss might have made a major mistake in scheduling Memphis, habitually a gimmee, but an undefeated squad this year. I'm sure Memphis is not up to SEC standards because it is not in the SEC.
By playing only each other, the mystique of the SEC conference remains intact and no one will ever fault them for losing to other SEC conference teams. All true SEC fans know that every slot of the top 14 rankings rightly belongs to the SEC conference teams.
The power of a brand is always seen in emotional attachments that have very little, if anything, to do with product performance or side-by-side comparisons. Adherents will defend a brand choice with virulent emotional defense because, when the brand is attacked, they feel as if they have been personally affronted. I always count on this power of retention in creating brands and the SEC is chock full of such devotees. At the end of the day, the brand is not about the schools or the conference. Like all successful brands, it has transcended all that and the brand is about them, the fan. This is not an accident.
If you are an SEC fan and you see this blog as an attack on you… You prove my point. This is not an attack on the SEC teams. They play VERY good football. It's just a brand reality that can be said of many other schools and conferences. What other football teams and conferences envy is not the caliber of the athletes or the fame of the coaches. They envy the SEC brand and the emotional connection that the SEC brand has created with fans who see no correlation between the reality of a 6-5 finish last year and their own personal recollection of the season.

The wonderful smell of Play-Doh
When it comes to Play-Doh, my two and a half year-old granddaughter is a raging lunatic.
She asks my son and daughter-in-law to "Play Play-Doh with me!" all the time – even when she wakes up in the middle of the night. Play-Doh is always top of mind, even when my son would rather it not be.
Needless to say, these innocent demands don't let up when she has a sleepover at her Mimi and Pop-Pop's house. Which, when she asks to play Play-Doh, we give into her. She even asks to watch Play-Doh tutorials on YouTube. Yes, such things exist.
My little goofball granddaughter is the apple of my eye, but Play-Doh reminds me that smell – yes, even the smell of Play-Doh – can be a brand equity.
Smell can be an important part of a brand.
That's right. Smell.
Do you remember the smell of Play Doh?
If you're anything like me, the odor of it is impregnated in your mind. It was still nestled there right before I first agreed to play Play-Doh with my granddaughter.
What does that smell remind you of?
I am brought back to the enthusiastic feeling of opening a new can where I can see the slight ridges of fresh Doh. I am filled with the urge to press it between my hands and to smell it.
The smell of is one of innocence, creativity, excitement and joy.
Play-Doh's brand owns this smell.
It's a strange thing to consider, but it's true.
We've written a lot about brand positioning. Brand positioning is about reflecting who your customers are when they use your brand. Smell, just like the other senses, can help to define this experience for customers.
The smell of Play-Doh did for me, just as it will forever with my granddaughter.
American Apparel bankruptcy predictable
I suppose you could say that just about any industry is brutal for the players involved. The restaurant business, for example, is extremely tough to break into, as the rate of success for a new restaurant is extremely low.
Another industry that comes to mind is the retail industry, especially in apparel. Much of the blame falls on the retailers themselves as many of them have failed to adapt to changing consumer patterns, stubbornly holding on to old business models and brand meaning.
With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that American Apparel will file for bankruptcy today, coming off declining sales numbers that have put the retailer's existence in jeopardy. It lost $134 million in just the last three months, a fourth straight quarterly drop.
The American Apparel bankruptcy is not a surprise because, even though American Apparel has suffered some bad PR recently with its now-fired founder being shown the door after allegations of inappropriate behavior, American Apparel just doesn't mean anything within the retail space.
Bankruptcy will be coming to other retailers.
This is a common problem with retailers as their meanings simply blend from one into another. Instinctively, few of us understand the difference between, for example, American Apparel and H&M. You could go down the list of retailers and come up with the same equation: As brands, the meaning just comes down to hip clothes for hip youth. Where's the differentiation in that?
Recently, Stealing Share did a study of the retail apparel market and much of what I've written here is further explained in it. We concluded that retailers must own something that its competition does not. And few do.
The American Apparel bankruptcy is just the start. More and more retailers, especially those in retail who depend on shoppers coming to the mall, will find themselves facing bankruptcy and wondering why their sales are dropping.
Retailers need to own something that actually gets shoppers to choose them, rather than just clicking on Amazon. Which is what they are doing right now.
Airlines need culture change
I have not blogged on airlines in quite a while and I thought it was appropriate to look at the category again in light of the new CEO for United Airlines (Read a market study on the entire category here) and my thinking that airlines need culture change.
Funny thing, United is getting criticism for not looking within the industry when it appointed Oscar Munoz as its new CEO. It seems that United has trailed all of the major carriers in terms of customer satisfaction in the past few years and this is being blamed on the fact that former CEO, Jeff Smisek, who resigned last month because he was a sleezball, was not from inside the industry either. Come on. Give me a break.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I am what United has designated as being Global Services. This is their highest status in their frequent flyer pantheon. For those that do not know all the benefits I am privy to because of this status, it means that I get to board the aircraft right after the lame and the infirmed and then have the privilege of being crammed into a tiny seat for longer than almost all other flyers. In the common event that the flight is delayed, I get to sit in my confined space a few minutes longer than others. Sounds good doesn't it?
United has continued to disappoint me. It doesn't even recognize that, in an industry of mediocrity, that all airlines needs culture change. The flights are so delayed that I have taken to flying out of my local airport first thing in the morning even if my connecting flight leaves late in the afternoon. All too often, subsequent flights out of Greensboro are later and later as the delay in takeoff is compounded by all the other late flights that my aircraft suffers before arriving to GSO (Triad International Airport, named so despite the fact that no international flights begin or end there). These delays are getting all the more common as airlines (not just United) push these planes to the breaking point by flying tight schedules designed to eek out every penny of profit from the over-worked commuter flights that feed their infamous hubs.
Airlines need culture change not more of the same
I recognize that all I do is complain about airlines. Some of you may say that I need to move to a city that has direct flights and does not rely on connecting flights as a requisite to get anywhere. I have to admit. I have entertained this idea at times. But such a change in domicile is not without costs. By COSTS I mean the flights that fly direct are WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. It is actually cheaper, much cheaper, for me to fly from Greensboro to Washington Dulles and then connect to a flight to Geneva then it is for me to fly direct from DC to Geneva without the connection. Crazy.
The problem with airlines is the airline insider. Think about the way those in the industry measure customer satisfaction. The percentage of on-time flights, comfort in the seats and whether the airline gives you a 5-cent bag of pretzels and 4oz of a soft drink or water. They also offer coffee but I don't seem to be able to recognize the taste as any version of coffee. Think about it. They measure customer satisfaction by standards that should denote the lowest common denominator of any airline.
I think the industry only has hope by looking to an outsider to change direction and recognize that, while they may be in the transportation business, the airlines are equally in the hospitality business. Is Oscar Munoz the answer? I don't know. If he fails to change the entire paradigm, I would suggest that they appoint a new COO who understands the logistics of the industry and then hire a senior leader from Ritz Carleton as its next CEO.
How might culture change when leadership decided that customer satisfaction was more than being on-time? Ritz is not just a hotel brand. It has actively positioned itself as different and better from its competition. It has made service personalized and actually makes you feel as though you are fortunate to have chosen that brand.
What ALL the airlines need is culture change and a recognition that we would like more than what we are getting. They could start to measure their preference not in terms of oversold flights because they have cut back on the schedule but rather how many more flights they would need to account for the increase in traffic. Even Southwest would begin to worry. Maybe standing in line for a seat is not that much fun. Is everything in the airline industry based upon discount fares and fewer fees? There may be a different path. Hopefully someone sees that. Airlines need culture change.
Sting's TED Talk is a necessary listen
Yesterday, by happenstance, I opened my podcast app and decided to update my five podcast subscriptions.
I'm glad I did.
One of the podcasts I like to come back to from time to time is the Ted Talk Radio Hour, which is hosted by NPR (can you ever really go wrong with, NPR?).
This week's podcast was a rebroadcast of a show that aired last October entitled, "The Source of Creativity."
As is per usual, the show is broken into a handful of segments and rehashes key components of the TED Talk series. It's definitely worth your time and attention.
The first segment was on the musician, Sting. I've always been a middle of the road fan of his solo work and a much greater fan of The Police. While that's besides the point, it was that reason alone that I was curious enough to hear what he had to say about inception of creativity and how to overcome writer's block.
We all struggle to come up with good ideas.
Sting gave powerful insight into an eight-year period of writer's block. Prior, he was a hit machine, writing songs, which he admits, were solely about him and his experiences. It came to a point where he tapped out of things to say about his life experience from his vantage point.
He searched that entire time. Asking questions of his faith and of himself, "Have I said all that I am supposed to say?" This tormenting thought weighs heavy on any person of creativity.
Soon, he realized his vantage point needed to change. It was time for him to write about the people he knew, who he grew up with in Wallsend, from their perspective. Soon enough he was writing songs that took on dialects and were used as fodder for a Broadway play, The Last Ship.
Sting reminded me of what it means to be creative.
When we create, we are taking a chance. We are placing our faith in an idea that doesn't come from the mind, but from the gut. It takes practice to embrace those creative ideas and not overthink them and a willingness to ask hard questions of yourself, like Sting did. It's that journey and self-reflection which, if we are willing to accept, can bring us to the ideas we are looking for.
It's also a process from which you develop powerful brands. Stepping outside yourself and looking at things from an outsider's perspective. That's when you truly become creative and persuasive.

Welfare Benefits:
States Need Social Security's Death Data to Avoid Payment Error or Fraud
HRD-91-73: Published: Apr 2, 1991. Publicly Released: Apr 2, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7230
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the feasibility of computer matching Social Security Administration (SSA) death data with benefit payment files for Maryland, Pennsylvania, and District of Columbia benefit programs to determine whether states paid welfare benefits to deceased recipients.
GAO found that: (1) between January 1986 and December 1987, the 3 states continued benefit payments at least 2 months after SSA files recorded the eligible recipients' death in 2,950 cases; (2) states' follow-up analysis of 229 of those cases confirmed the recipient's death in 86 cases, concluded that 85 recipients were actually alive, and could not determine the recipient's status in 58 cases; (3) states provided weak or inconclusive evidence to support their conclusions that some recipients were alive; (4) state welfare officials generally believed that receiving SSA death data would assist them in identifying false claims made under deceased recipients' social security numbers; (5) SSA expressed concern that states and agencies also independently verify reported deaths and provide advance notice before adjusting benefits, since its data were not always accurate; and (6) SSA believed that its Enumeration Verification System would require only minimal inexpensive changes to include reporting death information to states.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SSA modified the contracts with states that provide restricted death data to allow for redisclosure. SSA made the required systems changes to make the data available.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Health and Human Services should direct the Commissioner of Social Security to modify the current social security number verification systems to routinely provide death information to states for their use in processing welfare benefit claims and payments.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: SSA has closed the case on this recommendation and plans no further action.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Health and Human Services should direct the Commissioner of Social Security to publish and make available to the states appropriate instructions on accessing and using this information, including the need to verify SSA-provided death information and to give people advance notice before initiating actions to stop, deny, or adjust payments.

NEW YORK -- Lleyton Hewitt knows that there's no easy way to win a grand slam title.
Not only has he fallen short in his last 11 attempts, but the 24-year-old Australian has lost to the eventual champion in the last six major tournaments. Half of those losses were to Roger Federer, whom Hewitt will now face in the U.S. Open semifinals.
"If you're going to win the majors, you're going to have to beat him somewhere along the line," Hewitt said of Federer.
Although Hewitt needed five sets against Jarkko Niemenen on Thursday and Taylor Dent in the fourth round, he's still the guy who has the best chance of taking out Federer. Their 18th career meeting was solidified when Federer took 100 minutes to beat David Nalbandian in three sets on Thursday night.
Federer has dominated Hewitt of late, having defeated him eight straight times dating back to their meeting in the fourth round of the 2004 Australian Open. In fact, Hewitt has not won a set from the world's top ranked player in their last five meetings. But Hewitt, at his best -- armed with speed, ability and the necessary mental fortitude -- could give Federer more trouble than any of the remaining players.
"He's good enough with his base to beat me on a day when I'm not on," Federer said.
Federer, who has won Grand Slam titles everywhere but on the Roland Garros clay, has proven that he's very consistent on all surfaces. He has only lost three matches this year and is now 33-0 on hard courts this season.
Over the course of their careers, however, Hewitt actually has a better winning percentage than Federer on the courts in Flushing Meadows. Hewitt's 34-5 record represents a men's draw high of prevailing in 87.2 percent of his matches.
"The court surface, I think suits my game pretty well," said Hewitt. He says the pace of the ball coming off the ground is similar to the courts he played on while growing up in Australia.
Hewitt and Andre Agassi, who has an 81.7 percent winning percentage throughout his 20 years of playing in this tournament, are the only active players who have fared better at the USTA National Tennis Center than Federer. With his win over Nalbandian, Federer's career record in New York is now 22-5 (81.4 percent wins).
That Hewitt has played in two five-set matches might suggest that he's not as sharp as in years past. But in 2001, the year he won it all here, he also was forced to play a fifth twice.
Hewitt knows that beating the defending champion will be a monumental task.
"No one has been able to find the exact formula to topple him just yet," Hewitt said.
Said Federer: "I've been standing in his way and the more chances that he gets, the more chances he has to beat me."

Haymitch sits, slumped in his chair, a bottle of liquor in his hand. It never leaves his hand, but he drinks from it less often. He is still drunk, but sober enough to help the kids in the arena. He half watches them as he chokes down some more alcohol. They are killing him. I have watched him mentor forty tributes over the past twenty year, including this pair. There were eight others before I became the escort for District 12. He drowned out their faces in a drunken stupor. He knew he couldn't get them home, so he didn't even try. I don't think he's tried at anything since the last cannon blew at the fiftieth Hunger Games. The Second Quarter Quell. Where his world was ripped apart and he lost himself.
He still hasn't found himself. I don't know if he ever will. But at least he is trying again. He is trying to save these tributes. I'm not sure if he knows why he is doing this, but I do. And with the new revision, there is the slightest possibility that both could come home. That is, if the Capitol played fair. Which they don't. They never have. They are just working towards the most epic ending in Hunger Game history. Two lovers pitted against each other in a fight to the death.
"I don't want it to come down to the two of them." I whisper nervously, watching the screen. I stand beside Haymitch's chair. I cannot sit. I am too anxious.
Katniss tends to Peeta's wounds, but the boy is in bad shape. They'll be lucky if they can move from the riverbank, let alone find decent shelter. But they are survivors. If anyone can beat the odds, it will be them. Katniss is so much like Haymitch. Far too stubborn to die. And Peeta, well he has something to live for, something he loves. If I understand him as well as I think I do, he will not go quietly in the night. He will survive, because she needs him. But in the end it won't matter. The Capitol will only let one of them come home, the revision is a trick, only they don't see it yet. Which only makes it that much more cruel.
I feel Haymitch's eyes on me. I glance over at him. His eyes are much clearer than they have been in years. While they are still glassy from drink, they are not lost in an unreachable stupor.
"Whatever do you mean Effie?" He asks condescendingly. "The Capitol says two can come home, surely you don't think they'll break their word."
I roll my eyes and glare at him, holding back a biting retort. He smirks for a second, but then his expression shifts. His eyes flash dangerously. There is a crazed look in his eyes. He sees something that he has never noticed before. I know what he has recognized, even before he does. Seam eyes.
He can see it now, the merchant blue eyes. Maybe it's the lack of alcohol in his system. Maybe it's just the first time in twenty years that he is actually looking at me. Maybe it's because he's finally ready to see. He stares intently into my shockingly blue eyes.
"Who are you?" He whispers.
He grabs my wrist and pulls me toward him. His grip is so tight that it hurts. He pulls me so close that I can feel his hot, liquor laced breath on my face. It makes my eyes water. I look away from him, but his other hand grabs my chin and turns my face back towards him. Our eyes meet again. I stare into his steel gray eyes. They seem so focused and years of drinking are erased. For a second he is the young man who beat the odds and won the Hunger Games.
For the first time in twenty-four years, I think he might be ready for the truth. I glance past him to be sure we are still alone. I lean in closer to him until my lips brush against his ear and I whisper softly, so as not to be overheard.
"We'd live longer the two of us."
Haymitch jerks back as though I have physically struck him. He stares at me wordlessly. For the first time ever, Haymitch Abernathy is completely thrown for a loop. Recognition dawns slowly in his gray eyes as he looks past the years and surgical alterations.
"I guess you just proved that." He replies with a smirk, trying to regain his trademark detachment.
With those six words I know he knows everything. Maybe not the details, but he knows the truth. Effie Trinket has never existed. The woman before him is none other than Maysilee Donner. The girl who died in his arms. The girl who took his heart to her grave. The girl who beat the Capitol at their own game.
I look away from Haymitch and notice Katniss on the screen. The pin on her shirt. The Mockingjay. Her token, but really it is my token. The bird that is a slap in the face to the Capitol. The unintended mutation. The bird that was never meant to exist.
I may have worn it during my game, but I was never the Mockingjay. The Capitol choose me, made me what I am. Katniss is the Mockingjay. The Capitol didn't plan for her to be in the Games. And now she mocks them, forcing them to change their rules. Capturing the heart of the districts with her song.
I am not the Mockingjay. I made the Mockingjay. I played the Capitol for the fools they are. I deceived all of Panem. I broke the man who sits before me.
I live even though the Capitol decreed I should die for a crime that was not my own. I thrive in a different form than was originally mine. I undermine the Capitol and everything they stand for with every breath I take. Because I am what they made me. But I have become more than they ever imagined I could be.
I am the Jabberjay.
So, I am on a not so temporary hiatus from my other stories, but I had this idea and I really liked it. If you think I should turn it into a longer story, let me know.
