Hospitals and healthcare organizations in New York stand to lose more than $2.13 billion in Medicare reimbursements if across-the-board cuts -- the sequester -- occur,according to an analysis
by the Healthcare Association of New York State. These cuts would deal a blow to hospitals and healthcare organizations in the Capital District, which would lose more than $78 million. Locally, the four hospitals within the St. Peter's Health Partners would lose a combined $32.8 million Samaritan and St. Mary's in Troy would lose $103 million, while St. Peter's Hospital and Albany Memorial would lose $18.7 and $3.6 million, respectively. The additional cuts would compound $20 billion providers are expected to lose in the next 10 years. These are the result of a $15.9 billion reduction from the implementations Affordable Care Act, a $4.1 billion loss from medicare in patient coding reductions, and $23.5 million in Medicare cuts in support to providers for patients' unpaid debts. "An additional $2 billion on top of the $20 billion in cuts our hospitals and health systems already face will have a profound impact on access to care," said HANYS President Daniel Sisto. "This unprecedented level of reductions would significantly reduce patient access to care, and lead to longer drives and wait times, and additional layoffs and service reductions at facilities across the state." The reduction in Medicare reimbursements would be accompanied by a loss of $1 million in funds that was to go to helping the state upgrade its ability to respond to public health threats, such as natural disasters like such as infectious diseases, and biological, nuclear and radiological events. Hospitals and health care organizations in the state lost 6,135 jobs since 2010, according to a HANYS analysis of public records. If the sequester goes into effect, most federal programs will suffer cuts March 1, with the Medicare cuts, capped at 2 percent, going into effect April 1.

Just went to Minoas for a preholiday gathering with friends...I wish I lived closer! The food was sooo good... I have been coming here for 5 years, and everytime I am reminded of why I keep coming back! I had the grilled calamari appetizer (delicious with a squish of fresh lemon) and my favorite lamb shoulder (kleftiko)... Alex was my server and it was nice to catch up with him. Thanks for the amazing food and wonderful service guys!! - Sergio
My husband and I went to Minoas for the first time last week and we were impressed with the warm service and delicious food. Located on Kingsway near Boundary, this Greek Restaurant looks like a little house and can be easily missed if not paying attention… but it was a good thing we stopped in!! We started with the saganaki appetizer (pan-fried Greek cheese) which became my instant favorite! The cheese had a nice hot crust on the outside and perfected melted inside, it was so yummy with a quish of fresh lemon! I decided to try the kleftico (lamb shoulder) dinner and the portion was huge! I ended up taking half of it home to eat for lunch the next day. The lamb was tender with intense flavor… and melting off the bone. It was on special for $13.95 and I can't wait to go back and taste it again! My lamb was served with the usual Greek accompaniments; rice pilaf, stewed veggies, Greek salad & lemon potatoes (the potatoes were to die for!). Even though it was a little busy that night because of the special event across at Swangard Stadium, the service was good and the food was worth the extra few minutes wait… We will back real soon! Thank you Georgia for being such an excellent (and funny) waitress! - Sarah
The only place we go for Greek food is Minoas, as we can not find any place that compares to the friendly atmosphere and great food. Some of are favorites are calamari, lamb and ribs, they are fantastic. Also there are many other items on the menu we have tried and enjoyed them also. The appetizers are so good we have tried them all. The service is great too. - Ray, Joanne, Lucio, Simone
We had lunch at Minoas last Friday. When we walked upstairs into the main dining area, we were seated right away, at a table overlooking Kingsway. The dining area was bright and cheerful, with white stucco walls, plants everywhere and some Greek music playing in the background. It immediately brought back fond memories of my vacation to Greece a number of years ago. One of the staff quickly took our initial order, and some chilled white Greek wine appeared at the table within a couple of minutes. For lunch we had a appetizer platter, including grilled calamari, spinach pie, Greek salad. The calamari was excellent, with a bit of tzatziki complementing the taste! Minoas grilled calamari is now my favourite. The rest of the meal was great too, including fresh Greek salad, tasty and tender spinach pie, and nice garlicy hummus. The server and other staff passed by regularly, topping up the wine and water glasses, asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything else. They were friendly while being professional, keeping an eye on how our meal was progressing, stopping to chat from time to time, ensuring we felt well taken care of. Our hot appetizer platter and half litre of wine was great value. We'll be going back again, but the difficult decision will be whether to have that wonderful hot appy platter again, or to try other menu selections.
Made the trek out to Minoa's again today because my business associate wanted lamb. And who serves the best lamb in the Lower Mainland? .... yes, ... Minoa's. Not sure how they can afford to make any money, but it was the biggest, most succulent lamb I have ever seen. Even though I usually go vegetarian, even I had a bite. It was delicious, tender, the aroma from the herbs ..... incredible!
I had the pastitsio with Greek salad. Loved the way they prepare the rice and potatoes. I gave the garlic sauce that comes with it to my friend who wanted it to dip the pita bread into.
We had a bottle of a new Greek wine that they are now carrying. Didn't get the name, but it is very good. It was a full bodied red.
No dessert. No coffee, but the people who walked past us (a group of local teachers) all raved about the coffee drinks. I don't know if they were loaded up, or just drip. They all smelled delicious when the waiter walked past us to deliver them to the table next to us.
Before leaving Anna and her mum gave us a couple of their homemade cookies. Oh, I love those cookies!
Forgot to mention that the place was packed and had to park a block away. It was worth the long drive (30 minutes) and block walk in the rain to get there.
Thank you to Anna, the mum and the staff. Another incredible meal. 5 out of 5 stars. Two thumbs up.

Lawyer: Accusations Against US Senator Are False
By EZEQUIEL ABIU LOPEZ Associated Press
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic March 5, 2013 (AP)
A Dominican woman who once said in a video that she had sex with a New Jersey senator for money is now acknowledging that the allegation was false, according to a sworn statement released by a lawyer enmeshed in the accusations.
The attorney, Vinicio Castillo Seman, told reporters at a Monday press conference that the 23-year-old woman, identified as Nexis de los Santos, now claims in a sworn statement that she not only "never went to bed with" U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez but she never actually met him.
Castillo has been accused of hosting outings on his yacht in which the U.S. senator used the services of prostitutes. He has strongly denied the allegations and said he would seek a criminal investigation into the source of the reports.
On Monday, Castillo distributed copies of the woman's sworn statement to reporters during a press conference in his Santo Domingo office. The woman did not attend.
In the sworn statement, the 23-year-old woman claims that she and a friend were approached by another Dominican lawyer, Melanio Figueroa, who was allegedly responsible for manufacturing the accusations against Menendez. The two women recited the accusations on a video that was recorded without their consent, she stated.
Figueroa has not responded to numerous calls and emails seeking comment. Last month, an assistant at Figueroa's law office said they had dropped the case involving the two women on the video.
In Washington, Menendez told reporters that the accusations against him were "smears."
"I've always said that these are all false, they're smears, and so I look forward to seeing whatever the Dominican courts have that prove what I've said all along," Menendez said Monday.
On Tuesday, the 23-year-old woman and her lawyer, Miguel Galvan, are expected to appear before a judge in La Romana to file the affidavit claiming that she was in the video but it is false and was recorded without her authorization.
She is hoping to avoid being detained during an investigation to determine who was responsible for making and distributing the video. She is not expected to speak at the hearing.
Castillo, the son of a Dominican presidential adviser and the brother of a member of the country's Congress, has said he has known Menendez for some 15 years and had never seen him with a prostitute. He said he's never hosted any parties involving prostitutes.
In the video released last year, the two Dominican women, whose faces were blurred, also claimed they had sex with Castillo and Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor of Dominican descent who is a prominent Democratic campaign contributor and a major supporter of Menendez. De los Santos now claims that those allegations are also fabricated.
Menendez's ties to Melgen have come under close scrutiny after an FBI raid early last month at the doctor's West Palm Beach, Florida, offices. Menendez has acknowledged flying on Melgen's private jet to the Dominican Republic twice and was compelled to reimburse $58,000 for the two flights that he had previously failed to report.
A watchdog group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, has said it had received emails starting in April 2012 alleging that Menendez used the services of prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. The emails came from someone identified as "Peter Williams," though that may be a pseudonym.
Just before Menendez's successful re-election last November, The Daily Caller, a conservative web site, published a story that included a video interview with two women who claimed to be prostitutes. The women said Menendez paid them $100 for sex after agreeing to a fee of $500.
The Daily Caller did not immediately respond to emails and phone calls on Monday.
The whereabouts and identity of the other Dominican woman in the video is not clear.
Associated Press writers Erica Werner and Henry C. Jackson contributed to this story from Washington.

Congressman Pete Gallego (D-Texas) became a bit of a hero on his plane ride home last Friday when he performed the Heimlich maneuver on a 3-year-old who was choking on chicken nuggets.
In a conversation with Business Insider on Monday, Gallego recalled the episode, which ultimately involved in the nuggets coming back up all over the federal lawmaker's suit.
"I unbuckled the little boy, held him back and compressed his chest a little bit and put some pressure so he would throw up. Unfortunately, I thought I was aiming him forward," Gallego said. "I ended up with chicken nuggets on my chest. But the little boy was fine and that was important in the end."
Gallego said he didn't have any specific medical training to prepare him for the incident, first reported by the Houston Chronicle. But the congressman said he learned how to perform the Heimlich maneuver on a child while raising his own son, who once choked on a piece of bacon.
Even without medical training, Gallego apparently impressed some of the passengers on the flight.
"Afterward, the gentleman who was across the aisle … he looks at me and says, 'Wow, you looked pretty quick. Are you a doctor?' And I said laughingly, 'I'm not a doctor. I'm just a dad,'" he recalled.
The child's mother also showered Gallego with praise on Twitter.
"So thankful for his quick reaction!" she wrote. "It was so scary to see my son unable to breath! Sorry for the mess! Thank you!!!!"
Gallego said his suit is currently at the cleaners.

Why Ugandans Tolerate Acholi Genocide
Ugandans must wake up and not behave like the proverbial ostrich or the Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan, because what has happened in Acholiland during the last 20 years could one day repeat itself elsewhere in our country.
[Africa: Op-Ed]
In Uganda the Acholi had suffered widespread resentment in recent years—especially from the Bantu of southern and western Uganda.
In the West Nile region the Acholi are resented because they are associated with the horrendous human rights atrocities committed by the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) for six years following the overthrow of the notorious dictator Idi Amin Dada on 11 April 1979. It is unfortunate that a whole populace could be associated with crimes committed by an army that, not withstanding, contained mostly Acholis.
There is also some resentment within the Acholi community. For example, some locals of Kitgum are not fond of Acholis from Gulu although both are of the same Acholi ethnic group.
At a time when Yoweri Museveni's National Resistance Movement (NRM) leadership is busy committing genocide in Northern Uganda, one would think the Acholi would bury their internal differences and stand united to face their common enemies—the National Resistance Army, now known as Uganda Peoples Defense Force (UPDF).
Such divisions between Gulu and Kitgum in a tragic way plays into the hands of their enemy.
The Langi, who speak Lwo like the Acholi, blame the Acholi faction of the UNLA, led by the late General Tito Okello and the late General Bazilio Olara Okello, for overthrowing Milton Obote's second regime on July 27th 1985, which paved the way for the bandits of NRA to take over the reins of power on January 25th
1986. Obote had prophetically warned Acholi elders at a stormy meeting held at the Nile Hotel in July 1985 before his downfall that, if they overthrew the Uganda People's Congress (UPC) government which he led, they would suffer more than they have ever done in Uganda's history.
Only the late Otema Allimadi, who was then prime minister, among the senior Acholi in government at that time, stood by the late President Obote. Some Acholi elders mocked him by alleging that after all he was a Madi, not a pure Acholi.
The Banyankole/Baganda alliance, a.k.a NRA/NRM, which launched and fought the Luwero bush war from 1981 to 1986 was inspired, founded and sustained by their common resentment of the Acholi in particular and northerners in general. That alliance is now falling apart as all dubious deals made on this earth eventually do; but the enduring legacy of the NRA/NRM is the shameless and short-sighted revival and use of ethnicity as a means to achieve political ends; which act will haunt Uganda for a long time.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that as the genocide in Northern Uganda continues to unfold, most Ugandans could not care less? Most Ugandans have chosen to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the gross human rights violations committed jointly, in Acholiland, by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and UPDF.
Both combatants are responsible for the genocide in Northern Uganda. The International Criminal Court (ICC) must hold the LRA, the UPDF and, especially the permanent leader of the NRM, accountable for the thousands of men, women and children who have suffered and perished in Acholiland since 1986.
Ernesto Che Guevara once said that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. Hence, a leader who is motivated by hatred and greed is a false revolutionary and a fraud. This is the inconvenient truth about the hatemonger and self-proclaimed visionary leader of the NRM, a man who has taken Ugandans for a ride for 21 long years.
Ugandans must wake up and not behave like the proverbial ostrich or the Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan, because what has happened in Acholiland during the last 20 years could one day repeat itself elsewhere in our country. We are all our brothers' keeper and must play an active role in putting an end to the despicable and obnoxious human rights situation in Northern Uganda.
The tragedy of Acholiland must not be seen as some form of poetic justice, because the vast majority of the Acholi people are innocent of the atrocities committed by the undisciplined UNLA in Luwero, the West Nile region, Lango and elsewhere in Uganda.
Too many Ugandans wrongly believe that the Acholi deserve what they have gone through during the last 21 years. This explains, to a large extent, why the enormous suffering inflicted upon the Acholi people by the LRA and the UPDF has not met with universal condemnation at the national as well as international level.
It is time to call a spade a spade and put an end to the conspiracy of silence about the genocide in Northern Uganda. The culprits of this crime against humanity must not be allowed to get away with their evil deeds by holding so-called "peace talks" in order to exonerate themselves from the just anger of the vast majority of the people of Uganda.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — The connection goes beyond being Super Bowl teams.
The Broncos and Seahawks also are linked because they're from the states where recreational marijuana use is legal.
It was only a matter of time before the use of the drug was broached in a Super Bowl news conference. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday it's worth the NFL pursuing whether players should be permitted the use of medicinal marijuana. Commissioner Roger Goodell raised the subject last week, suggesting the NFL might look into the idea.
"First off, I can't speak for anybody else in that regard," Carroll said. "We have to continue to explore and compete to find ways that are going to make our game a better game and take care of our players in the best way possible. The fact that it's in the world of medicine is obviously something the commissioner realizes and him making the expression that we need to follow the information and the research, absolutely I'm in support of. Regardless of what other stigmas may be involved, I think we have to do this because the world of medicine is trying to do the exact same thing and figure it out, and they're coming to some conclusions."
Ex-Broncos receiver Nate Jackson recently said pot should be allowed to help relieve pain.
Runs like a verb? Left tackle Russell Okung admitted that Seattle's offensive linemen "feed off" Marshawn Lynch's destructive style. His love of contact is unique among NFL running backs. Just don't ask Okung how to explain Lynch, who rarely talks to reporters but remains immensely popular with his teammates.
"He's an adjective," Okung said. "Which adjective? I couldn't even begin to tell you. I don't know."
Candy man. Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett is looking for a super endorsement. He has one in mind — combining with his brother Martellus, a tight end with the Chicago Bears.
"We could do blue and orange M&Ms (in a commercial)," Bennett said.
Bennett, who will be a free agent, said he is open to joining his brother with the Bears if the oppor- tunity presents itself.
Footnotes. Safety Kam Chancellor leaves the trash talking to all-pro cornerback Richard Sherman. Chancellor uses cues to get under an opponent's skin. "It's a certain look they give me. I just smile back. Then their eyes become big," he said. … Returning to the practice field, even at the New York Giants' facility, offered a sense of normalcy for the Seahawks. "It was great to get back to football because it hasn't really been about that the last couple of days with the travel and all that. Now we can kind of roll into a regular week," said tight end Zach Miller.

My, how things have changed.
In light of Google's recent decision to put its own Google+ social service results above all other results in its search engine, it is amusing to contrast today's Google with the "don't be evil" Google of a few years ago.
For example, our Matt Rosoff just highlighted this statement by CEO Larry Page from 2004.
In an interview with Playboy prior to the IPO, Google founder Larry Page was explaining why Google would never put its content above content from elsewhere because that would be "a conflict of interest, analogous to taking money for search results."
Don't believe it? Read for yourself:
PLAYBOY: With the addition of e-mail, Froogle—your new shopping site—and Google news, plus your search engine, will Google become a portal similar to Yahoo, AOL or MSN? Many Internet companies were founded as portals. It was assumed that the more services you provided, the longer people would stay on your website and the more revenue you could generate from advertising and pay services.
PAGE: We built a business on the opposite message. We want you to come to Google and quickly find what you want. Then we're happy to send you to the other sites. In fact, that's the point. The portal strategy tries to own all of the information.
PLAYBOY: Portals attempt to create what they call sticky content to keep a user as long as possible.
PAGE: That's the problem. Most portals show their own content above content elsewhere on the web. We feel that's a conflict of interest, analogous to taking money for search results. Their search engine doesn't necessarily provide the best results; it provides the portal's results. Google conscientiously tries to stay away from that. We want to get you out of Google and to the right place as fast as possible. It's a very different model.
The irony of Google's new Microsoft-like attitude (use your monopoly to "link and lever" into other services) is that Google's new "personal" search results would be vastly improved if they included results from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, et al. But Google seems so intent on promoting Google+ that it seems willing to sacrifice the utility and quality of its personal SERPs to get Google+ off the ground.
As Matt observes, Google's turning into a portal. And now that they're halfway there, they might as well own up to it and go the whole way.

STRATHAM — Many aid efforts following Superstorm Sandy have been focused on people, but the N.H. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is working to make sure there's help for pets, too.
STRATHAM — Many aid efforts following Superstorm Sandy have been focused on people, but the N.H. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is working to make sure there's help for pets, too.
The Stratham organization brought nine dogs and four cats to Newfields Thursday from an area of New York where Sandy hit hard.
"It was a long day, but it was worth it," said SPCA adoption counselor and trainer Kelly Marinel. "It was a really great experience."
The animals are mostly strays that have been in a shelter in Hempstead, N.Y., since well before Sandy hit, according to SPCA cruelty investigator Steve Sprowl. Bringing them to New Hampshire opens up room for other newly homeless animals that are quickly filling New York and New Jersey shelters as their owners lose their homes or the ability to take care of their pets.
The SPCA chose to bring the animals that have been in the shelter longer in order to give owners a chance to claim those the shelter has just recently taken in, Sprowl said.
Sprowl and Marinel embarked on their trip to New York at 5 a.m. Thursday and returned to Stratham at 9 p.m. the same day.
They took a van equipped with cages for the dogs and cats.
Sprowl said the animals didn't mind the trip and slept most of the way home.
Sprowl said that although he and Marinel didn't see the worst of Sandy's destruction on the trip, they did see a lot, such as a house with its roof ripped off and large trees struck down along the water.
The SPCA is no stranger to trips like this. One of the organization's most memorable trips took place after Hurricane Katrina, when five staff members traveled south for a week of volunteering and brought back 28 dogs.
"They're beautiful dogs, but there's just so many of them. They're on the euthanization list, so we try to save as many as we can," Sprowl said.
The dogs from New York will stay at Bittersweet Kennel in Newfields for about two days for health checks, and then will be brought to the SPCA and put up for adoption.
Sprowl said the SPCA and Bittersweet Kennel often work together and that the kennel has opened at odd hours to receive animals at the end of these trips many times before.
SPCA staff will likely return to New York or New Jersey to pick up more animals as these are adopted, Sprowl said.
Adopting one of these cats or dogs would help with Superstorm Sandy relief in a meaningful and unique way, Sprowl said, noting it would open room for the SPCA to take in more animals from New York or New Jersey and keep those animals off the streets and prevent shelters from overcrowding.
Donations can be made to the SPCA specifically for rescue trips by sending a check to the SPCA at PO Box 196, 104 Portsmouth Ave., Stratham, NH 03885 and writing "SOS Fund" as a memo.

Good morning,
for some strange reason, the paper-clip icon in the paper-clip column (index columns) is not reliably indicated if attachments are delivered with a message. This is very annoying as this information is very helpful in order to see at a glance, which messages do have attachments and which ones do not.
Background info : often I receive several messages with identical subject from my customers within a short period of time (an hour, or so). Often some of the messages do have attachments (files to translate, reference pdf's, pictures, etc.), some only contain text. My message pane size is configured so it shows 8 message-lines. Because in many cases the paper-clip icon is (for some reason) not shown, even if a message has an attachment, I cannot see at a glance which message I have to check, whether it carries the attachment I'm looking for. So I have to check each single message, in order to find the one(s) that has/have attachments and could eventually contain the material that I'm looking for. It's really very annoying and time-consuming.
I read on the forum, that it might have to do with "inline" attachments. But in my opinion it doesn't matter, what type of attachment we talk about. It should be indicated by the paper-clip icon in the paper-clip column in any case.
Is there a logical reason for this strange behaviour ? Is there a fix or workaround ? Can it be fixed at all ? Can anybody help me please... Eric, Tomas
Thanks in advance.

Our main aim is to find out if there is anomaly in our network. A special case would be to detect reboots. what would be the advantage of analyzing Network anomalies against traditional signature based approach? or what could we find out else with this information?
Note: As far as I know there is just a little bit malware, who reboot computer. Is there any anomaly causing a host to reboot?

Yesterday in Guam we spent much of the morning discussing the WCPFC's Technical and Compliance Committee's Provisional Monitoring Report from their 7th regular session on Surveillance and zzzzzz……. If you didn't fall asleep during that sentence then you're doing at least as well as many of the delegates to this super important meeting that will decide the future of Pacific tuna.
These meetings can be fiery at times, with Pacific Island delegates virtually leaping across the floor and going for the jugular of distant fishing nations who block conservation measures.
But they can also feature hours upon hours of very dry technical discussion that only a handful of people fully understand.
Either way, you can imagine how popular the coffee cart in the foyer can be some times.
So you can probably also imagine just how excited we are that right by the coffee cart Greenpeace has set up our whopping great big screen onto which is a projected a mesmerizing virtual aquarium. Across that aquarium your tweets are delivered live and the petition counter climbs with every signature.
It's an absolute hit! It's loved and hated, depending on whether you're asking a tuna plunderer or a delegate who's also fighting to save out tuna. And that's the whole idea.
We've received thanks and praise from many here for giving you the chance to speak directly to them. There are encouraging countries and individuals and there are tweets chastising those who act as roadblocks to sensible reforms.
There are favourite tweets, and there are tweets that have made some delegates sweat – we've been asked to take some down, we've been asked to repeat some - usually the same tweet will draw opposite reactions depending which side of the sustainability fence you're sitting on.
Send yours through now ...
Here are a few favourites:

Oakland's BrightSource cancels IPO at 11th hour
ENERGY BrightSource cites adverse conditions
BrightSource Energy of Oakland, a solar power-plant developer whose first major project won $1.6 billion in federal support, abruptly canceled its initial public stock offering Wednesday night, just hours before trading was scheduled to begin.
The surprise move killed what had been the most hotly anticipated clean-tech IPO this spring. And it cast doubt on investor appetite for similar offerings in the future.
The clean-tech industry, much of it based in the Bay Area, has generated few IPOs and even fewer breakout stocks, with electric car-maker Tesla Motors in Palo Alto a notable exception. Analysts had been eager to see how well BrightSource would perform on its first day of trading, expected Thursday on the Nasdaq exchange.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
But Wednesday night, the company issued a statement saying market conditions were too adverse. Rather than postpone the offering, BrightSource canceled it.
"While we received significant interest from potential investors, the continued market and economic volatility are not optimal conditions for an IPO," said CEO John Woolard. "As a company, we've consistently made decisions in the best interest of our shareholders, employees and customers, and we will continue to do so. Fortunately, we're in a strong financial position and have the support of world-class investors and partners."
Solar stocks took a beating last year, even before the high-profile bankruptcy of Fremont's Solyndra focused public attention on the industry's woes. A glut of solar panels on the global market slashed prices and squeezed profit margins for solar manufacturers.
But BrightSource, founded in 2004, doesn't make solar panels.
The company builds large power plants that use fields of mirrors to concentrate sunlight on towers and generate intense heat, a technology called "concentrating solar thermal." Its first major project, a $2.2 billion cluster of plants called the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, is under construction in the Mojave Desert, backed by the federal government and such big-name investors as Google Inc. Two California utilities, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and Southern California Edison, already have signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) to buy Ivanpah's electricity, with the contracts lasting at least 20 years.
As a result, some analysts considered BrightSource shares a relatively safe investment, even if the company has yet to turn a profit.
"I'm surprised, because we look to BrightSource as a company that has rock-solid PPAs," said Sheeraz Haji, CEO of the Cleantech Group research firm. "At the end of the day, the message here is there's too much negativity around solar."
BrightSource filed its IPO paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nearly a year ago. But the company held off, waiting for market conditions to improve. Then last month, BrightSource submitted a new SEC filing, saying it planned to move forward and price its shares from $21 to $23.
BrightSource chose to press ahead with its IPO after seeing U.S. stock markets surge during the first three months of the year, said a source close to the deal. But as company executives hit the road to meet with large, institutional investors earlier this month, the markets dropped sharply. That lessened the odds of BrightSource raising the $182.5 million it wanted, the source said.
BrightSource wasn't the only company to make that calculation. Aluminum maker Aleris Corp. had been expected to hold its IPO on Thursday, but chose late Wednesday to delay the offering.
Some analysts say potential investors may have been troubled by issues specific to BrightSource, rather than the whole solar industry.
Now that the price of solar panels has plunged, developers are using them to build entire power plants, an idea that just a few years ago would have been considered far too expensive. Concentrating solar thermal plants may have a hard time competing, as panel prices continue to drop.
In addition to Ivanpah, BrightSource has two other power plant projects waiting for approval from the California Energy Commission, both of them using solar thermal technology. Both projects already have power purchase agreements for their electricity.
"BrightSource does have a good project pipeline," said Shayle Kann, managing director of GTM Research. "The real risk for them is how much more of a pipeline can they build? Are they going to be winning more PPAs in the future? BrightSource is probably running head-to-head against those PV projects."
BrightSource notes that it has something photovoltaic power plants lack - a means for storing large amounts of electricity, using molten salts to hold heat. BrightSource plants equipped with that storage technology will be able to deliver electricity well after the sun sets.
The cancellation of BrightSource's IPO could revive the debate over federal support for renewable power companies. Solyndra, which received $528 million from the same government program that backed Ivanpah, also canceled a planned IPO the year before it plunged into bankruptcy.
However, there are key differences between the companies, and between the projects that received federal support.
Solyndra used the money to build a factory for making tube-shaped solar modules, hoping to grow sales as production increased. BrightSource is building power plants that already have customers locked in for decades to come. In addition, the Ivanpah project is majority-owned by NRG Energy, a major nationwide power plant operator, and Google. The $1.6 billion in federal loans guarantees went to Ivanpah, rather than to BrightSource itself.
U.S. Department of Energy spokesman Damien LaVera said the government is not worried about BrightSource's financial health.
"Not only is BrightSource an innovative company with strong backing from the private sector, but this project has signed long-term contracts with utilities to purchase electric power for more than 20 years," he said.

This Multi-Platform Partnership Dubbed SUITS & STYLE Brings the Worlds of Entertainment, Fashion, Technology and Commerce Together Across Multiple Touchpoints in Collaboration with Vanity Fair
The Second Season of SUITS Premieres on Thursday, June 14th at 10/9c
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - May 24, 2012 - USA Network and MR PORTER.COM, the premier online global retail destination for men's style, present SUITS & STYLE, a fashion and lifestyle collaboration celebrating the return of the second season of the hit original series SUITS. Inspired by the complimentary sensibilities of the SUITS and MR PORTER brands, SUITS & STYLE will bring their shared philosophy and sophisticated aesthetic to life through an innovative, multi-platform integration of fashion, technology, commerce and entertainment.
The combined worlds of television and style will kick-off the collaboration with a SUITS-inspired microsite within MR PORTER that explores the refined style of SUITS and a dedicated SUIT Yourself IOS App that enables users to virtually try on various suits and accessories. The multi-touchpoint partnership continues with the SUITS & STYLE Gallery, an immersive shopping and lifestyle pop-up store located in Manhattan's Meatpacking District with dynamic interactive experiences and products available for purchase curated by the MR PORTER team; multi-market Army of Suitors street teams featuring men dressed in ACNE suits on bikes distributing a 20-page SUITS-themed print publication - the MR PORTER POST; and all culminating in a state of the art fashion show on New York City's High Line featuring the series leads Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams. USA Network will additionally support the partnership via on-air, online, VOD, paid media (including a special insert in the July issue of Vanity Fair) and in-show integration and messaging. All will compliment USA's massive multi-pronged marketing campaign supporting the second season of SUITS.
"America has already fallen in love with the aesthetic, the urban New York setting and dynamic characters of SUITS," said Alexandra Shapiro, EVP, Marketing & Digital at USA Network. "The MR PORTER alliance allows us to bring the SUITS world to life and directly involve our consumers globally in a uniquely innovative, sophisticated and immersive way. MR PORTER's taste, sensibility and editorial voice is perfectly aligned with the SUITS franchise. "
"SUITS and its characters align perfectly with the MR PORTER brand and aesthetic," said Mario Muttenthaler, Head of Sales & Marketing at MR PORTER. "By way of taking inspiration of the SUITS show to create an innovative multi-platform, multi-channel partnership, we look forward to exposing the SUITS and MR PORTER audiences to exclusively created content, looks inspired by the show and new touch points with the MR PORTER brand such as the Style Gallery, for a deeper immersion with both."
Highlights of the partnership include:
Fashion Show on The High Line
On Tuesday June 12, USA and MR PORTER along with Vanity Fair will host a dynamic, technologically sophisticated live fashion show staged at New York City's famed High Line. Against the backdrop of the Hudson River, hundreds of fashion insiders and VIP guests will view SUITS-inspired menswear looks curated by the team at MR PORTER. The innovative environment will feature a 60' long LED runway backdrop, custom graphic and lighting installations, Instaprint stations offering prints of Instagram photos taken onsite, and a special appearance by SUITS stars Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty and Rick Hoffman.
SUITS & STYLE Microsite
Beginning with a soft launch on June 6, USA and MR PORTER will launch a microsite featuring original editorial content and a customized collection of clothing and accessories for purchase curated by the team at MR PORTER. The microsite will feature original photography, behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews with SUITS stars Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams. The site will also provide an entry point for a sweepstakes through USANETWORK.com offering a $25,000 wardrobe from MR PORTER.
SUIT Yourself App
The SUIT Yourself IOS app, available for download on the SUITS & STYLE microsite and iTunes in the first week of June, will give consumers an opportunity to find the suit that best suits them. Users can virtually try on various suits and accessory styles and share the results with friends through social media.
Special Edition of the MR PORTER POST
MR PORTER will create a special SUITS & STYLE edition of the MR PORTER POST, a 20-page publication of original editorial content featuring fine art photography. The Post will feature cutting-edge Aurasma integration, delivering users relevant content through the use of a mobile app. 500,000 copies of the publication will be distributed to consumers and tastemakers throughout the country via multiple channels (including targeted drops) and suit-clad street teams on custom-branded bicycles.
Army of Suitors
Inspired by SUITS' stylish bicycle enthusiast Mike Ross, USA and MR PORTER will distribute the MR PORTER POST through a striking urban spectacle known as the "Army of Suitors." Groups of identically clad male models will bicycle through the streets of four major cities throughout the US (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago) outfitted by MR PORTER in sharp ACNE suits and Converse sneakers. The Suitors will distribute the SUITS-inspired MR PORTER POST on custom-branded white bicycles, encouraging consumers to visit the SUITS & STYLE microsite and driving tune-in. In New York, the Suitors will also drive the public to visit the SUITS & STYLE Gallery.
SUITS & STYLE Gallery
The SUITS & STYLE Gallery, a shopping and lifestyle pop-up shop, will be open to the public from June 9th-June 17th between the hours of 12pm and 9pm. Located in Manhattan's fashion-focused Meatpacking District at 72 Gansevoort Street, the retail environment will include the next generation Microsoft surface experience for shopping, an interactive media wall and a Vanity Fair library. Additional on-site features will include a special collection of products curated by MR PORTER, style consultations from MR PORTER's fashion experts, a lounge offering complimentary grooming services from Aesop, a barista, shoeshines, and an exclusive glimpse of the all-new season of SUITS.
About SUITS
Set in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of a top Manhattan corporate law firm, SUITS stars Gabriel Macht as legendary law partner Harvey Specter, and SAG Award-nominee Patrick J. Adams as his brilliant, but not-technically-legal associate Mike Ross. Despite his lack of bonafide credentials, Mike's photographic memory and encyclopedic legal knowledge make him an invaluable asset to Harvey and to their firm, Pearson Hardman. The dynamic duo have managed to guard their secret thus far, but as the first season came to a close, Mike's ex-best friend was determined to expose him to the firm's top suit, Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), and Mike's future was left hanging in the balance. Jessica, however, may have bigger problems on her hands, with the other half of Pearson Hardman reemerging on the scene. Meanwhile, Mike's love life has become increasingly complicated, jeopardizing his relationship with Rachel (Meghan Markle), the firm's best paralegal and his only friend in the office. The series also stars Rick Hoffman and Sarah Rafferty. From Universal Cable Productions, SUITS was created and is executive produced by Aaron Korsh. Doug Liman and David Bartis of Hypnotic also serve as executive producers.

Once again, I pause at the the end of the blopathon to savor the view. I can't say this feeling is quite as exhilarating as last year, when, to a much younger blogger, all things seemed possible. As I examine my psyche now, I can't help but feel a little bruised, mostly because of the chaff I thrust forth into the world over the past month. Lots of posts start with seemingly good ideas that are later exposed as sucktastic, and these posts are rightly shunted off into some alternate limbo-cache, retrievable by only the most adept techsmiths. But when you're blopping, you can't afford to discern. You type it, out it goes, and it either soars off with the rest of the flock or you scrape it off the road. Que sera sera.
I do, however, again feel tempered by the accomplishment. After all, I lived to see the end of NaBloPoMo 2.0, but Evel Knievel did not. If I can survive something that one of the world's most indestructible sumbitches can't, that must say something for my ruggedry, right?
[Rest in peace, Mr. K. Enjoy your rightful place at the head table in the Pantheon of Crazy.]
Fittingly, I'm preparing to celebrate my surging machismo as most of us he-men types do: with an evening of wine tasting and musical theater. My friend Michael is an expert on one and a fan of the other, so he wrote a piece that will have a limited run on the Upper West Side. We have also been promised six wines to sample during the performance, which means we'll at least all be 1) drunk or 2) spitting in unison. Either way, it should be memorable.

SANTA FE, N.M. � The city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is trying to land the "The Bachelor," and it may shell out some money for the mission.
The Albuquerque Journal reports councilors are expected Wednesday to consider a request to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 from Tourism Santa Fe's reserve budget in an effort to attract the popular ABC-TV dating show.
Officials want the show to film one of next season's episodes in Santa Fe. The New Mexico Department of Tourism already has agreed to a letter of intent to commit $50,000 to the effort.
Randy Randall, Tourism Santa Fe's executive director, says the show's producers approached Santa Fe two weeks ago about possibly shooting in the city.
"The Bachelor," which debuted in 2002, follows a single man as he goes on dates and chooses a potential bride from 25 women.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #288
From Psalm 149
O praise ye the Lord
And sing a new song,
Amid all his saints
His praises prolong;
The praise of their Maker
His people shall sing,
And children of Zion
Rejoice in their King.
With timbrel and harp
And joyful acclaim,
With gladness and mirth,
Sing praise to his Name;
For God in his people
His pleasure doth seek,
With robes of salvation
He clotheth the meek.
In glory exult,
Ye saints of the Lord;
With songs in the night
High praises accord;
Go forth in his service,
Be strong in his might
To conquer all evil
And stand for the right.
For this is his word:
His saints shall not fail,
But over the earth
Their pow'r shall prevail;
All kingdoms and nations
Shall yield to their sway.
To God give the glory
And praise him for aye.

Tyra Banks has signed once again to IMG Models, the agency announced earlier this week.
"Supermodel, actress, and television host Tyra Banks rejoins IMG Models," the agency first announced on Tuesday via its blog. "Welcome home Tyra!"
VIEW THE PHOTOS: From Sexy Supermodel to TV Mogul: Hot Shots of Tyra Banks!
However, the new contract doesn't signify a return to the catwalk for the "America's Next Top Model" host.
"The last time I was with IMG, I was set on taking on the modeling world in the high fashion and commercial sectors," Tyra said in a statement on Thursday. "Now I'm dreaming even bigger, but this time for my company as well. Aligning myself with brands that I believe in, and helping them achieve the kind of success they're looking for, helps all of us as we grow our businesses."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Scenes From Tyra's Bi-Racial Photo Shoot On 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 13
Ivan Bart, Senior Vice President and Managing Direct of IMG, added in a statement that the company "will help her expand her relationships with companies through endorsements, and… developing business relationships."
The former supermodel retired from the runway to focus on her television projects in 2005 – and the busy star's career hasn't stopped expanding since.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, earlier this month, Tyra announced her first novel, "Modelland," due in summer 2011, and plans for a three-book deal.

In December, she announced that her daytime talk show, "The Tyra Show" would conclude at the end of its current, fifth season. At the time, she also revealed the formation of Bankable Studios, a production company for film.
Last week, Tyra also crowned the latest "ANTM" winner — Krista White — on The CW show's season finale.

I would like a new title banner for my blog, but am in no way a graphic artist. In fact, I don't have a solid idea of how I would like it to look. I'm just tired of it and would like to have it updated.
Since I'm sure that some of you have more experiance with this sort of thing then I do, I thought I would open it up to you guys. I would love to see what you guys can come up with. So, so if your are an artist of some sort an would like to have some of your work displayed at the top of my blog please submit a picture to my email address (graymatterwow (at) gmail Dot com).
Here are the guidelines.
1. The banner above is 1000 by 200. I would all submissions to be about the same size. It could be a little taller if needed but no wider.
2. Obviously it should say "Gray Matter" some where on the picture. I would also like it to say "All the Matters of Gray" and "A World of Warcraft Blog" somewhere in the banner, but please feel free to leave it out if you think it takes away from the picture.
3. It should be Moonkin related.
4. I don't care if it is computer generated or done by hand. I just want it to look good.
So, other then that you have free reign. Please try and send me all the submissions by February 28th. Obviously by submitting a banner your giving me permission to use the picture for my blog.

Wow Christian, that's pretty cool looking! With a new grey theme and what not, I think it'd look really awesome on the blog. RL and what not so I'm afraid I don't have an entry, but I'm sure you got some good ones. Can't wait to see what happens!

"Wreck-It Ralph," the latest Disney animated feature for families, begins with a creative brainstorm: The movie occurs mostly inside the worlds of several arcade-style video games, providing an excuse for the backgrounds, ground rules and characters to constantly reinvent themselves. The title is inspired by its hero, one of those clumsy, misunderstood big guys who dreams only of being loved.
For Wreck-It Ralph, this will never happen in the universe he inhabits, the Fix-It Felix Jr. video game. Shown in animation only a generation advanced from Pac-Man, Ralph is a muscular freak who has only one function, using his fists and feet to pound holes in a high-rise apartment building. Then it's Fix-It Felix Jr., a handyman with unlimited skills, to the rescue. Winning the hearts of the Nicelanders, the residents of the building, Felix is regularly invited to their high-class parties, while Ralph is relegated every night to the town junk yard.
Ralph's depression is invaluably conveyed by the voice dubbing of John C. Reilly, who can sound put-upon almost by his very nature. Felix, voiced by Jack McBrayer, from "30 Rock," is cheerful, high-spirited and helpful, even if trapped in the identity of Goody Two-Shoes.
After decades of this existence, Ralph yearns to escape, and that's the excuse for the movie to break free from the sameness of its game. Ralph journeys through power cables and a surge projector to a place named Grand Game Central, where characters can visit. Warning: Although the rules allow them to die casually and frequently inside their native games, if they die outside, it's curtains.
Ralph hears of a game named "Hero's Duty," where troops are led by a sergeant (tough-sounding Jane Lynch) in shooting down the Cybugs that are the scourge of all games. He wins a big gold medal and hopes it will make him look good to the Nicelanders. Ralph's next stop is a teeny-bopper game named Sugar Rush Speedway, which seems painted entirely in the colors of those cheap bright candies sold on Valentine's Day (remember the pink and yellow hearts reading "I Love You?")
The big deal here is Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), who embodies some glitches and isn't too skilled at handling the game's race cars, but she sure wants to be. She's discouraged by the stuck-up, bratty King Candy (Alan Tudyk). Then there's a big showdown involving hordes of Cybugs.
More than in most animated films, the art design and color palette of "Wreck-It Ralph" permit unlimited sets, costumes and rules, giving the movie tireless originality and different behavior in every different cyber world. Wreck-It Ralph, who seems not a million miles separate from Shrek, makes a lovable guide through this arcade universe.
I have a complaint, and it's my usual one: The whole movie comes down to an interminable high-velocity race and chase scene, perhaps timed to match the moment when the kids in the audience have consumed so much pop and candy they're having their own sugar rush. That can get old real fast for the adults, and heaven help those parents whose children insist on viewing the DVD over and over and over and over again. I suppose that goes with the territory.

Morcellator Lawsuits Filed for Cancer - Attorneys Handling Morcellator Cancer Lawsuits Offer No-Cost, No-Obligation Morcellator Cancer Case Review
Information about Cancer Lawsuits from Lawyers Handling Morcellator Lawsuits Nationwide
Morcellator devices have been recalled by Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon division due to the risk of spreading ovarian cancer. Power morcellators are used to perform hysterectomies and to remove ovarian fibroids in approximately 60,000 patients each year. Promoted as an improvement over open surgery, morcellators mince uterine tissues into small pieces that are removed via tiny incisions. In patients with preexisting uterine cancer, this process can scatter the cancer cells throughout the abdomen, transforming a manageable, localized cancer into an advanced-stage and fatal disease. The risk of morcellator cancer has been the subject of FDA warnings, FDA medical device committee hearings, and Ethicon market withdrawals, as well as warnings and bans issued by major hospitals, individual doctors, and national patient advocacy groups.
Johnson & Johnson, the primary manufacturer of morcellators used for ovarian surgery, has issued a global recall of three laparoscopic power morcellators: Gynecare Morcellex, Gynecare X-Tract, and Morcellex Sigma. The J&J morcellator recall represents yet another major product safety recall from one of the largest medical suppliers in the nation. Late in 2013, J&J announced it would pay a total of $2.5 billion to settle 8,000 hip implant recall cases resulting from product defects in its DePuy Orthapaedics line. J&J is currently facing approximately 30,000 lawsuits for defective pelvic mesh implants that cause severe harm in women. Despite these setbacks, J&J increased sales during 2013 by 6.1%, reporting annual sales of $71.3 billion.
Attorneys handling morcellator cancer lawsuits believe that persons who were diagnosed with cancer after ovarian surgery may be entitled to compensation. If you or a loved one underwent ovarian surgery such as hysterectomy or myomectomy and were later diagnosed with cancer, you may qualify. Evidence suggests that Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon officials were aware of the risks of morecellator cancer as early as 2006, yet waited to recall the device until 2014 when the company came under FDA pressure. Each lawsuit that is filed will serve to increase Johnson & Johnson's accountability for the safety of its product. Lawyers handling morcellator recall lawsuits provide no-cost, no-obligation case reviews. To learn if your case may qualify to file a morcellator lawsuit and to have your questions answered by an experienced morcellator attorney, contact our firm today.
