Three People Indicted in Connection with Stealing Over $120,000 From State Medicaid Program
A Suffolk County Grand Jury returned indictments against Maryann Mohamoud, age 43, of New Salem on charges of Medicaid False Claims (4 counts), and Larceny by False Pretenses. Africa Mohamud, age 34, of Boston, and Oscar Savaria, age 27, of Granby, were both indicted on charges of Medicaid False Claims and Larceny by False Pretenses.
In May 2008, the Attorney General's Office began an investigation after the matter was referred by the Office of the State Auditor's Bureau of Special Investigations (BSI).
Maryann Mohamoud
Beginning in 2003, Mohamoud applied for and was approved to receive PCA services to be paid for by MassHealth. Authorities allege that Mohamoud's intent was to obtain the money that the people she purportedly hired as her PCAs would receive from MassHealth, and not the services. During the time period 2003 to 2009, Mohamoud schemed with several of the people she hired to be her PCA's to submit false timesheets claiming that they worked over 30 hours per week assisting Mohamoud with daily living needs, when they did little or no PCA work. Mohamoud allegedly kept Medicaid money that was supposed to be paid entirely to the PCA's, either by setting up joint bank accounts with the PCA and arranging for the Medicaid money to be directly deposited into a joint account, or, if the PCA was paid by check, having the PCA give her some or all of the money back in the form of cash or check. In total, investigators discovered that Mohamoud's false billing scheme resulted in over $120,000 worth of false billings to MassHealth.
Africa Mohamud
Investigators also discovered that from July 2003 to October 2004, Africa Mohamud knowingly participated in and profited from his sister Maryann's false billing scheme. Authorities allege that while supposedly providing his sister with PCA services, Africa Mohamud had a full time job in Boston, approximately two hours away from his sister's home. Nonetheless, Africa allegedly signed false timesheets and received direct deposits of Medicaid money into a joint account opened in his and his sister's name. Investigators discovered that during the timeframe Africa Mohamud participated in the scheme, the total amount billed to MassHealth was approximately $20,000.
Oscar Saravia
Authorities allege that between October 2004 through November 2008, Saravia was supposedly providing PCA services to Mohamoud, yet he was employed full-time in two restaurants. Investigators discovered that Saravia allegedly signed false timesheets and, for four years, received direct deposits of Medicaid money into a joint account opened in his and Mohamoud's name. After the State Auditor's Office began its investigation, Mohamoud and Saravia changed the bank account to one in Saravia's name only. During the time Saravia participated in the scheme, the total amount billed to MassHealth was approximately $80,000.
The MassHealth program provides comprehensive health insurance to more than one million Massachusetts children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities (referred to as "consumers"). Once approved to receive MassHealth benefits, a consumer with long-term disabilities may further qualify to participate in the Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program. The PCA program is designed to enable disabled consumers to live at home by providing them with funds to hire a person, the PCA, to help them with certain daily living activities.
A Suffolk County Grand Jury returned indictments against all three defendants late Thursday. Maryann Mohamoud, Africa Mohamud, and Oscar Saravia are scheduled to be arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on October 21, 2010.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Nancy Maroney and was investigated by Investigator Meaghan Fogaren, both of Attorney General Martha Coakley's Medicaid Fraud Division, in collaboration with investigators from the Bureau of Special Investigations of the Office of the State Auditor and the Boston office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services of the Inspector General. MassHealth also assisted in the Attorney General's investigation.

Updating a previous item, Detroit Tigers P Cesar Carrillo's 100-game suspension was related to his name surfacing in the Biogenesis documents this offseason. Carrillo is in the minors, and Major League Baseball has greater jurisdiction in suspending minor league players than major leaguers who are protected by the union.
Fantasy Tip: Carrillo's suspension probably doesn't mean much in relation to possible suspensions surrounding Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz, Gio Gonzalez and others that were mentioned in the Biogenesis records. Stay tuned.

Evidence has been discovered that the following players were sold performance-enhancing drugs from an anti-aging clinic in Miami called Biogenesis: New York Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez, Washington Nationals SP Gio Gonzalez, Texas Rangers OF Nelson Cruz, Toronto Blue Jays OF Melky Cabrera, Detroit Tigers SP Cesar Carrillo, Oakland Athletics SP Bartolo Colon and San Diego Padres C Yasmani Grandal.
Fantasy Tip: Some of the details aren't clear whether the players actually received or used banned substances. It's unclear whether any suspensions will or can be handed out. Losing Gonzalez or Cruz for 50 games would have significant fantasy implications. Stay tuned to this story, which should be a prevalent one for weeks to come.

A six-alarm fire ripped through the top floor of a West Main Street condominium complex Monday, leaving 67 people temporarily homeless. Firefighters from a dozen communities battled the blaze at the Lake Williams condo complex at 271-277 West Main St. much of the day, drawing water from nearby Lake Williams to increase the volume they poured onto the fire.
A six-alarm fire ripped through the top floor of a West Main Street condominium complex Monday, leaving 67 people temporarily homeless.
Firefighters from a dozen communities battled the blaze at the Lake Williams condo complex at 271-277 West Main St. much of the day, drawing water from nearby Lake Williams to increase the volume they poured onto the fire.
"All in all, we were fortunate that there were no serious injuries to the occupants or firefighters," Fire Chief James Fortin said last night.
Four firefighters were sent to the hospital with minor injuries and released, Fortin said.
The blaze appears to have started in the top floor of the building, which is where residents stored property. Fortin said a cause has not yet been determined, and expected an investigation conducted by his department as well as the state fire marshal to continue overnight and into tomorrow.
Fortin said a passerby called 911 at about 9 a.m. and reported smoke was coming from the corner of the roof of one of several condo buildings.
The fire expanded rapidly in the first 15 minutes, he said, and the department called in help from nearby departments.
Most of the fire was confined to the top floor, but the building received extensive water damage, Fortin said.
It still isn't clear if any pets died in the fire. A city press release said "several" pets died, but Fortin said he hadn't heard of any missing pets.
At 1:20 p.m., smoke and flames were still pouring from the building. Traffic on Rte. 20 was rerouted throughout the day and into the evening. The exits leading to Marlborough from Interstate 495 were also closed.
Marlborough Emergency Management Director Donald Cusson said power was shut down to the area for firefighter safety, which forced Marlborough District Court to shut down for the day.
Red Cross of Central Massachusetts Director of Disaster Services Suzanne Billings said her organization was working with the city to find arrangements for displaced residents.
The Red Cross set up an emergency center at the Senior Center at 250 Main St. to help residents.
In a press release, Mayor Arthur Vigeant thanked the Fire Department for its swift response and successful evacuation of residents.
"The most important thing to report is that there was no loss of life and we are all very grateful for that," Vigeant said.
Also providing help yesterday were firefighters from Hudson, Southborough, Westborough, Northborough, Sudbury, Framingham, Shrewsbury, Hopkinton, Natick, Stow and Berlin.
Capt. David D'Amico said the fire was under control around 2 p.m. and was fully out by 4:30 p.m. Crews will remain on duty to make sure the fire does not rekindle.
Many residents stood outside the building watching glumly as firefighters fought the fire.
Newlyweds Alyssa and Anthony Pacific said all their wedding presents and Alyssa's wedding dress were stored in the attic where the fire started, and resident John Elwell was concerned he lost everything.
Displaced resident Marvin Cohen had just pressed the snooze alarm to grab a few extra minutes sleep when he was awakened by firefighters pounding at his door.
He threw on some pants, grabbed his cellphone and wallet and ran out the door in a fog, he said.
"I locked the door behind me like a fool," he said this afternoon as he watched firefighters on the roof pour water onto the fire.
Cohen had also forgotten his dentures, but that was the least of his worries.
He was worried about his two black cats, Rudy and Clarice, whom he rescued from a shelter about two years ago.
"I'm just praying they're OK," he said.
Earlier in the day, Cohen was taken to the hospital to be treated for anxiety, but returned later to see if his cats were OK.
Firefighters rescued a number of dogs and cats — and a few birds — from the building, but Rudy and Clarice were still missing.
Finally, at about 3 p.m., Hudson firefighter Richard Hubert emerged holding a cage containing a wet, frightened, but otherwise OK Rudy. About 10 minutes later, firefighters emerged holding a laundry basket Clarice had jumped into. She, too, was wet but healthy.
Cohen thanked firefighters effusively for saving his beloved animals, and spoke soothingly to Rudy, who was shaken up by the affair and refused to come out of his cage.
A bar supervisor at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Cohen also thanked his coworkers for saving a room for him at the inn and going out to buy him necessities.
He was overjoyed when firefighters brought out his dentures and several other personal items when they returned with Clarice.
"They got one of my work shirts," he smiled, holding up a badly soiled white collared shirt that had been in the laundry basket. "So I get to go to work tomorrow."

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

DALLAS – Jurors say billionaire Mark Cuban did not commit insider-trading when he sold his shares in an Internet company in 2004 after learning of a development that would dilute the value of his investment.
The jury in federal court found that the SEC failed to prove several key elements of its case, including that Cuban traded on nonpublic information.
The nine-member jury deliberated for about four hours.
The Securities and Exchange Commission accused Cuban of using inside information to sell $7.9 million of stock in Mamma.com after he learned confidentially of a stock offering that would send the share price down.
Cuban testified that he never agreed to keep information about the stock deal private and told the company that he would sell his shares.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Bickering between Missouri and Illinois over how to fund the sorely needed Mississippi River bridge at St. Louis stalled the $670 million project for years. Now that construction is in full swing, the two states are differing again, debating what the span should be named — and who has the prevailing authority to do it.
The disagreement appeared to deepen this week, when the Illinois House voted 109-0 on a resolution for the Interstate 70 crossing to be dubbed the Veterans Memorial Bridge. Never mind that Missouri lawmakers and key members of Congress from both states insist the bridge, scheduled to open next year, should bear the name of late St. Louis Cardinals icon Stan "The Man" Musial —"the Stan Span," for short.
The two ideas have at least one commonality, albeit slight: Musial, the Hall of Famer and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient who died in January at age 92, was a veteran, having served in the Navy during World War II.
Beyond that, there's little to bridge the states' divide over what to call the region's first span across the Mississippi in more than four decades.
Leading the charge on the Veterans Memorial Bridge moniker, Illinois Rep. Jay Hoffman — a Democrat from Belleville, just east of St. Louis and a towering Musial statue gracing Busch Stadium — insisted Thursday that's not a slight to Musial, widely considered the greatest Cardinals player ever.
Calling Musial "a huge hero of mine," Hoffman said he's among the lawmakers who have promised veterans they'd pursue universally honoring their service with the bridge.
"I understand everyone's request to name the bridge after Stan Musial. He was a great man for the area and a great man for the country," said Hoffman, a self-professed lifelong Cardinals fan who wore No. 6, Musial's jersey number, during his high school baseball career. "And I think if he was around, he'd say it'd be more appropriate to recognize all veterans."
Hoffman said that if his measure clears the Illinois General Assembly, he'd reach out to Missouri lawmakers to encourage them to follow suit.
But the prospect of Hoffman getting his way in Missouri appears as murky as the river itself.
In April, the Missouri House voted 147-0 in favor of a measure naming the span the Stan Musial Memorial Bridge, adding momentum to the push by Cardinals fans since Musial's death. The Missouri Senate overwhelmingly signed off on that idea last week, sending the measure back to the House with amendments.
And in March, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill to name the span after Musial, the three-time MVP and seven-time batting champ who spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and help guide them to three World Series titles.
The congressional measure — introduced by Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, and backed by her Republican colleague, Roy Blunt, along with their Illinois counterparts — now is being considered by the House.
"Stan was a true hero to so many Americans, both on and off the field," Blunt after the measure advanced. "This is a great way for us remember his legacy for years to come."
A spokeswoman for Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, recently suggested that whatever the states decide may be moot, insisting that Congress and the president hold naming rights because the project involves federal aid — some $240 million of it.
To McCaskill, honoring Musial is a no-brainer.
"As most St. Louisans know, folks that live on the Illinois side of the St. Louis region are by and large Cardinals fans," she told The Associated Press recently. "They aren't cheering for the (Chicago) Cubs. I think it (naming the bridge) is something that unites the two states."
Fat chance, given the years Missouri and Illinois spent feuding before the first shovel was turned on the planned four-lane, cable-stayed bridge meant to relieve the 50-year-old Poplar Street Bridge, one of just two in the nation that accommodate three freeways.
As part of a lingering squabble over how to finance the bridge, Missouri insisted that it be a tollway — a notion flatly rejected by Illinois as potentially onerous for tens of thousands of its residents who commute daily to St. Louis and its Missouri suburbs.
Illinois later proposed a sister bridge to an existing span, calling it affordable at $450 million. Missouri said it wasn't a long-term solution.
Both states ended the impasse in early 2008, announcing a compromise after Missouri relented on the tolls.
Hoffman believes diplomacy can be the name of the game.
"This is not in any way saying Missouri is wrong or that federal lawmakers are wrong by wanting to name this after a great man," he said. But, "this is not something states should have a grand debate over."

Collin County Gun Range Benefit Match
Collin County IDPA will host a match to benefit the Collin County Gun Range legal defense fund on Saturday, June 30, 2001 from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM at the Collin County Gun Range. Collin County Gun Range is threatened with closure by the recently-passed City of McKinney Gun Range Ordinance. In addition to destroying the IDPA club by requiring all firing to take place from fixed firing positions, the ordinance will force the range to be closed on Sundays, and eliminate most training for law enforcement and the public, thereby reducing the range's revenues to less than 50% of current levels. Clearly, the City Council is unconcerned with the fact that no business can survive this kind of assault.
For more information on this issue, please see http://www.ccgunrange.com/alert.html
In response to the passage of this draconian ordinance, the Collin County Gun Range has filed suit and is seeking injunctive relief. Collin County IDPA club supports them in this action. Therefore, we are hosting this match, with all proceeds going directly to fund CCGR's legal costs.
The match will consist of six exciting pistol stages. Details are still being worked out, but several IDPA-style stages and steel plate stages, and mixed paper-and-steel stages will be featured. The scoring systems will vary in accordance with the stage type, but will be standardized to a final score expressed in seconds.
Certificates will be awarded for the top three places in the following divisions:
IDPA Stock Service Pistol
IDPA Enhanced Service Pistol
IDPA Custom Defensive Pistol
IDPA Stock Service Revolver
USPSA Open Pistol or Revolver
USPSA Limited Pistol or Revolver
The match will be open to all experienced and qualified action pistol shooters, with no requirements for IDPA, USPSA/IPSC, or ICORE membership or classification. However, safety rules will be strictly enforced, and any safety violations may result in immediate disqualification from the match. CCGR is a "cold range"; guns will be unloaded and holstered at all times unless otherwise directed by the Safety Officer.
There will be no range fees or match fees. Admission to the match will be contingent upon a minimum $25.00 donation to the Collin County Gun Range legal defense fund. Registration and donations will be accepted at the door; advance payment is not required. 100% of donations go to the legal defense fund.
Volunteer Safety Officers are needed. SO's will need to show up 90 minutes early for the match. If you are willing to donate your time to this worthy cause, please let us know when pre-registering for the match.
Please note: Parking is extremely limited. Please car-pool if at all possible.
This will be a "no-frills" match with emphasis on fun, safety, and helping the range defend itself against the city. We hope you will join us in supporting this worthy cause!

"The number one priority will be the budget," says Woody Anderson, a Mitchell County farmer and chairman of the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee for Agriculture and Livestock.
Anderson discussed his committee's work during the recent Texas Commodity Symposium in Amarillo.
"The budget shortfall will get a lot of attention from this session of the Texas legislature," Anderson said. "Depending on whose numbers you believe the deficit could range from $3 billion to $5 billion or from $10 billion to $12 billion. Every segment of the government will be looking for budget relief."
Agriculture, he said, will not be exempt, but he hopes the cuts are not deep enough to cripple the industry. Of particular concern to rural areas and the overall state economy are tax issues, Anderson said. "We expect the legislature to look hard at sales tax and agricultural use exemptions."
He said exemptions for agriculture go back a long way, all the way to the Texas Constitution.
"Property tax exemptions deserve some scrutiny and ought to be considered for productivity value exemptions instead of the old usage title," he said. Exemptions on property tax for agricultural use go back to 1979, he said.
Eliminating that exemption would play havoc with rural economies without offering significant relief to the state's deficit. "The state lost only $1.1 billion in taxes through this exemption in 2001. Compare that to the $1.5 billion loss from the Homestead Exemption that many Texans receive. And compared to the overall budget, it's insignificant, less than 1 percent of the total.
"But if the exemption is eliminated, it will wreak havoc on the farm economy and on rural Texas."
Anderson said water, although not the main concern of this legislative session, may be the second, third and fourth priorities. "We have a number of players interested in water legislation," he said. "We want to make certain that local control, through underground water districts, remains the guideline for water management in the state."
He said regulatory issues to watch include Total Maximum Daily Limits, point and non-point pollution standards and a process that allows citizens to collect evidence against suspected polluters and make a case against them.
Water users should be aware of compliance rules, Anderson said. "Those looking for remediation will find more attentive ears if they have a history of compliance."
He said improving infrastructure to increase water use efficiency will be a key issue. "We also expect more interest in brush control, especially efforts to eradicate invasive species."
He said the Texas legislature likely would not take action against Mexico to force compliance with the 1944 U.S.-Mexico Water Treaty, which Mexico has ignored for more than a decade. "But I expect our legislators will discuss the issue thoroughly. State leadership will make recommendations to the Federal Government but I don't anticipate any legislation issuing from Texas."
Anderson said the "right of capture" rule has been a "sacrosanct" element of Texas water laws for years but may be subject to discussion as the state wrestles with a growing demand for water, especially from metropolitan areas such as Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio.
Other issues that could affect rural Texans include animal health concerns, insurance liabilities, and workmen's compensation. "And this short list doesn't really scratch the surface of the legislature's agenda," he said.

Lemon Blossoms (Paula Dean's recipe)
18.5 oz package yellow cake mix
3.5 oz package instant lemon pudding mix
4 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups confectioner's sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp water
Preheat oven 350 deg
Spray miniature muffin tins with cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and oil and blend well with an electric mixer until smooth, about two minuts.
Pour a small amount of batter, filling each muffin tin about 3/4 full. Bake for 12 minutes (mine cooked faster than that). Turn onto a tea towel.
To make the glaze, sift the sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, zest, oil and 3 tbsp water. Mix with a spoon until smooth.
With fingers, dip the cupcakes into the glaze while they're warm, covering as much of the cake as possible. Place on wire racks with waxed paper underneath to catch drips.
Let glaze set thoroughly, about one hour.
These are really fun to make and they disappear quickly

Engine 29 Chum-Bucket Chicken Chili
8 pounds chicken breast
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cups H2O
4 cans chicken broth
4 potatoes, peeled & chopped
4 small onions, diced
4 cups frozen yellow corn
2 carrots, sliced
4 celery stalks, diced
3 cans(14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cans(28 0z) red kidney beans, plus liquid
4 fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers, diced
1 cup chopped Italian parsley
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 heaping tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon basil
1. Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat. Cook the chicken on both side until done -- about 7-10 minutes per side. Cool the chicken until it can be handled. Do not rinse the pot.
2. Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place the pieces back into the pot.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to high. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 hours. Stir mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces shred into much smaller bits. Chili should reduce substantially to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
4. Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve it on the side for topping the chili, if desired.
Makes 20 normal servings.

Balsamic-Jalapeno Grilled Flank or Flatiron Steak
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
About 2 teaspoons sugar
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 fresh jalapeno chile with seeds, or to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1-1/2- to 2-pound flank steak, about 1-inch thick
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Fire up the grill or preheat broiler, placing rack so meat will be about 4 inches from the heat. In a food processor, blend oil, sugar, garlic, jalapeno and vinegar. Taste for sweet, hot, tart balance. Adjust if necessary. Rub mixture over the steak. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill over a hot fire, or set on a rack in a pan and broil. Figure about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Since heat sources differ, check doneness by poking with your finger, or making a small slit in the steak.
Very soft is very rare, some firmness is medium rare. Firm is well done.
Transfer steak to a heated platter. Slice on an angle across the width of the meat. Spoon pan juices over each serving.

The Spill Compensation and Control Tax is imposed on owners or operators of one or more major facilities used to refine, store, produce, handle, transfer, process, or transport hazardous substances, including petroleum products, to ensure compensation for cleanup costs and damages due to discharge of hazardous substances.
The tax is also imposed on owners of a hazardous substance which is transferred to a public storage terminal, and to any transferor of a previously untaxed nonpetroleum hazardous substance from a major facility to one which is a nonmajor facility.
1. Nonpetroleum hazardous substances—1.53% of fair market value;
2. Petroleum products—$0.023 per barrel;
3. Precious metals—$0.023 per barrel;
4. Elemental phosphorus—$0.023 per barrel; and
5. Elemental antimony or antimony trioxide—$0.023 per barrel, with annual approval.
The tax rate may be increased in the case of a major discharge or series of discharges of petroleum products to a rate not to exceed $0.04 per barrel until the revenue produced by the increased rate equals 150% of the total dollar amount of all pending reasonable claims resulting from the discharge.
The tax for an individual taxpayer facility which paid the tax in 1986 is capped at a certain percentage of the taxpayer's 1986 liability. Other tax cap benefits may apply.
Disposition of Revenues
The proceeds constitute a fund (New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund) to ensure compensation for cleanup costs and damage associated with the discharge of petroleum products and other hazardous substances.

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, one of the most highly respected and well-known medical education facilities in the world, recently opened its $45 million Anne and Michael Armstrong Medical Education Building. The new facility includes two Harkness Matt Plus Mini-Perf screens and Wrap-round frames in its lecture hall.
This large lecture hall space was designed to have the ability to be split into two separate rooms by pulling out folding panels across the middle of the auditorium. As a result, two projection screens were installed on each side of the partition so the space can be used as either one large lecture hall capable of seating 360 students or two smaller rooms that can accommodate 180 students each.
"The installation at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine presented a unique challenge to us because we had to align the actual screen itself with the adjacent wood panels and had very limited space behind the wall," says Rick Wilson, product manager for Projection Screens and Visual Display Boards at Sun Controls who led the installation on the project. "Normally, this particular frame is hung on the wall and the frame itself comes out off the wall."
It took some ingenuity on the part of Wilson and his crew to be able to maneuver the screen and install it properly. "We had to wrap the screen on the floor and lift it up into place which is different than how you would normally install this type and size of screen," continues Wilson.
For this project, two 3-tower Wrap round frame systems each with a picture size of 10 feet 5 inches x 18 feet 8 inches were used. The bottom picture line is seven feet.
"Harkness was chosen because of its reliability and affordability," adds Wilson. "The screens we installed are a beautiful looking product and a great fabric. We have received nothing but positive feedback from the people at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute."
Harkness' Matt Plus screens are considered by leading cinema exhibitors worldwide to be the best matt white projection surface. The flexible PVC-based material is manufactured to a unique formulation and specification providing wide viewing angles, high contrast, bright pictures and excellent color temperature.

gmp Architekten just won an international design competition to create a grand new exhibition center in Tianjin, China. The 1.2 million sq meter (12.9 million sq ft) exhibition center will be one of the largest of its kind in the world, and its most prominent feature is a dramatic overhanging filigree shade roof that fills the main entrance hall with daylight. The Tianjin Exhibition Center also features a connection to the adjacent Haihe river, open-air areas, restaurants and gardens.
The Tianjin Exhibition Center will be China's third international exhibition center (after the ones in Shanghai and Guangzhou), and it's expected to be completed in the next few years. Located on Tianjin Avenue, the site is bordered on two sides by a main traffic artery that links Tianjin's historic center with the so-called Binhai Development Area. It also sits adjacent to the Haihe River and connects to a large green belt around the development. A central avenue runs from the traffic artery straight to the river to create a new connection.
The main entrance hall is a light-filled space topped with a filigree roof canopy. A main central thoroughfare leads to 8 separate exhibition halls. Each exhibition hall offers 12,500 square meters of space, and they can be used separately or combined with an adjoining hall to create 25,000 square meters of space. The project also features an open-air exhibition space, a congress centre, hotels, offices and administration facilities. gmp's design is a grand statement that creates the impression that much of the space is outdoors, although is actually contained and protected from the elements while enjoying ample daylighting. Gardens and outdoor spaces further the center's connection to the outdoors.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Actor Ethan Hawke says it's crucial that all children get an education from an early age, pointing to his own daughter's struggles with dyslexia.
Hawke spoke Wednesday in Romania, where he is promoting his recent film "Before Midnight."
His mother, Leslie Hawke, has worked with some of Romania's most impoverished young children. She has been raising awareness and educational funds for Romanian children since arriving here as a Peace Corps volunteer in 2000.
The Hollywood star told reporters that he is "affected by children whether it is in New York or Romania." He says his "eldest daughter is dyslexic ... if she were from a poor family everyone would assume she was stupid."
"Before Midnight" premiered in May and is the third in the series, following 1995's "Before Sunrise" and 2004's "Before Sunset." Hawke plays Jesse, who is married to Frenchwoman Celine.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 17, 2012) – ETSU softball wrapped up its fall season last week after having six weeks of team practices and seven games.
Head ETSU softball coach Brad Irwin returns for a third season at the helm.
"We are excited about going into the spring now that we completed our fall season," said Irwin. "I think as a whole we played with a little more passion, fight and competiveness which we have been stressing all fall. We are playing a little better as far as taking it to the opponent and being aggressive, which we have been preaching."
The Buccaneers started the fall season with individual workouts that emphasized the fundamentals and being aggressive in all aspects of the game. The Bucs then used inter-squad scrimmages and situational drills to help prepare for their seven fall contests.
ETSU played doubleheaders against Walters State, Tusculum and Milligan, and squared off versus Mars Hill in a single game. In the Bucs' seven games, ETSU had a mix veterans and newcomers step up and perform very well.
Freshman Jennine Duncan (Jonesborough, Tenn.) led the squad by going 7-for-13 for a .538 batting average and also slugged .615. Fellow freshman Samantha Carpenter (Forest City, N.C.) belted two home runs and led the team with a .800 slugging percentage and recorded a .333 batting average.
Nicole Fox (Peachtree City, Ga.), Whitley Hensley (Erwin, Tenn.), Casey Horner (Whitesburg, Tenn.), and Haley Thompson (Nicholson, Ga.) led the way for the returners. Hensley, a senior catcher, showed great leadership behind the dish, while batting .438 with a pair of doubles. The trio of sophomores, Fox, Horner, and Thompson recorded key hits in important situations. Thompson showed more pop in her bat compared to last season as she belted a pair home runs and slugged .706 with a .294 batting average. Fox looked sharp throughout the fall as she hit a solid .429 (6-for-14) after missing most of the 2012 season to a shoulder injury. Horner continued where she left off from the spring by slugging .667 and batting .400 with a home run and a double.
The Bucs' pitching staff kept the opposition off-balance as returner Katie Wolff (LaGrange, Texas) and newcomers Elliana Cabrera (Hayden, Ariz.) and Samantha Harrell (Okeechobee, Fla.) showed great progress throughout the fall. All three pitchers seemed to really show their stuff by the last couple of games and should be three solid starters come February.
"We have a lot of work to do in the weight room between now and when we come back in January," said Irwin. "Come January, we know there's some work to be done in the cages and on the field, but I feel we have a pretty good base coming out of the fall."
