In this paper we propose a signature-based biometric authentication system, where watermarking techniques are used to embed some dynamic signature features in a static representation of the signature itself. User authentication can be performed either by means of the only signature static image, or by using it together with the dynamic features embedded in the enrollment stage, by using a fusion approach. A multilevel authentication system, which is capable to provide two different levels of security, is then obtained. The proposed watermarking techniques are based on the properties of the Radon transform which well fits to the signature images. A robust embedding is obtained while keeping unaltered the original structure of the host signal.

Over the past four seasons, I've attempted to photogragh the aurora borealis from several natural settings away from Alaska's road system. I wouldn't refer to them all as "backcountry", but each location took significant effort to reach whether the aurora showed up or not. This fall I hoped to catch a good aurora show while camped near the base of Denali, but the overnight weather simply never cooperated. I spent a cold night winter camping with friends next to Black Rapids Glacier in mid-March but the great aurora show I was expecting showed up early and flared out by the time the sky darkened that night. Another attempted aurora photography adventure was thwarted in late March when I got my car stuck in the snow in my driveway.
With aurora photography season quickly coming to a close in Interior Alaska, I took advantage of a clear, moonless night in April with a good aurora forecast and set out to climb Donnelly Dome. Since there would be no moon to light up the landscape, I brought along supplies to make a rudimentary torch: a long wooden stick, an old t-shirt soaked in vegetable oil, some matches, and the toilet paper I always keep in my pack for kindling. The warm glow from a fire nicely complements the aurora on dark nights and adds a bit of life to an aurora image, and with the torch I would have the freedom to move around and create more adventurous shots than with a campfire.
I arrived at the base of Donnelly Dome after 10 p.m. with the orange glow of nautical twilight still on the horizon. The aurora was already stirring so I paused for a few shots as I snowshoed up the trail toward the steep slope on the north side of the dome. After an hour or so I reached the summit ridge and found a steep rocky portion where I began waiting for the aurora to brighten again. The breeze was cold enough that I felt the need to put on my parka, and I threw on my polar bear pajama bottoms as a joke for anyone looking closely at my photographs.
I prepared my camera gear and took a few test shots without the torch so I'd be ready when the aurora sparked up. The foreground appeared very dim and blended in too much with the flats below. Posing silhouetted on the ridge made the image more interesting, but it still didn't really pop. I waited for over an hour until the aurora finally showed signs of life, at which point I quickly lit the torch and began photographing.
The torch burned brightly, completely outclassing my headlamp and making it difficult to prevent overexposing the foreground as I executed my shot looking towards Fort Greely. I used my camera's timer to capture images of me posing with the torch while trying to stay completely still in the breeze. It doesn't seem like a t-shirt and a little vegetable oil would burn very long but the torch lasted over 20 minutes, which allowed me to try several different compositions as the aurora shifted in the sky. For about 30 seconds the aurora went wild over the summit of Donnelly Dome in the opposite direction, but I didn't have enough time to reposition the tripod, change the timer settings and find a good spot to pose with the torch to capture the display. Oh well, it was still a cool sight.
After the torch burned out, so did the aurora. I made my way down in the dark and got back to town sometime after 4 a.m. These aurora images turned out to be my last of the season and I won't be taking any more until at least August. Hopefully, solar minimum will have passed by then and we'll see more frequent stunning aurora displays next winter!

The atmosphere at the Rose Hill Gym Saturday evening was the way it should be every game, and Fordham gave the sell-out crowd many reasons to cheer. But they couldn't finish off the upset of #11 Butler at home, losing 68-63. Fordham has now lost six straight contests, and this once certainly bites.
Fordham used the crowd, and some veteran leadership to propel them a 66-63 victory over Rhode Island on Saturday at the Rose Hill Gym. Like the last home game the Rams played against UMass, the battle of the Rams went right down the wire and foul shooting was the key.
Travion Leonard (2) goes for the tip-in.
Kenny Ducey and Mack Rosenberg breakdown all the games this weekend in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs. The Kenny makes a bold claim about the 49ers and Mack tells you why the New England-Houston matchup will be another snoozefest. The guys give their predictions and touch on other hot topics around the league including: Tuesday's Jets press conference, the RGIII injury and the coaching carousel.
The Fordham Rams (2-9) were defeated by the Connecticut Huskies (9-2) in Hartford on Friday night, 88-73. UConn led by 29 at the half and seemingly never looked back. Ryan Boatwright has 26 points for the Huskies, as did Branden Frazier for Fordham, good for a career high.
Eric Mollo, WFUV Sports
After opening up the season at 1-4 on the road, the Rams were eager to give a packed Rose Hill Gym a win in their first home game. Instead, they suffer a tough loss to the Manhattan Jaspers in a game they led in the middle of the second half.
Last season Fordham defeated Texas State in the Rose Hill Gymnasium behind a 35 point performance from forward Chirs Gaston. This year, the Texas State Bobcats flipped the script in their building and won 86-76 in the opener for both teams.

Essential guide to the new Care Act
The new Care Act 2014 is mainly concerned with adults and their adult carers and the government says the changes being introduced are designed “to make care and support, and the way we pay for it, clearer, easier to access and more consistent across the whole of England.”
The Act is being introduced in two phases. The first phase was enacted on 1st April 2015 and the second phase will come into force in April 2016.
Changes introduced in April 2015 included:
- How local authorities should carry out carer’s assessments and needs assessments.
- How local authorities should determine who is eligible for support.
- A number of new obligations, including personal budgets and deferred payments.
Changes to be introduced in April 2016 include:
- How local authorities should charge for residential and community care.
- The introduction of the ‘care cap’.
National eligibility criteria
The new Act has introduced the same eligibility threshold across the country, which means access to care and support should no longer be a post code lottery.
People are entitled to have their needs met by their local authority if they fit the ‘eligibility criteria'; they live in that local authority; and one of the these conditions apply:
- the care they need is available free of charge
- they cannot afford to pay the full cost of their care
- they ask the local authority to meet their needs
- they do not have mental capacity, and no one else to arrange their care
- their total care and support costs exceed the cap that comes into force in April 2016.
The new eligibility criteria cover people who have care needs as a result of a physical or mental disability or illness which means they are unable to achieve at least one of the following:
- Basic activities (such as eating, washing, dressing, going to the toilet, moving about the home, cleaning the home).
- Maintaining family or personal relationships.
- Working, volunteering, or studying.
- Accessing community facilities.
- Caring for a child.
Under the Act, local authorities must provide a personalised care and support plan (or a support plan for carers). People will also have a legal right to receive a personal budget which can be used by service users or carers to request a direct payment, so people can arrange their own care if they wish to.
However, personal budgets paid by local councils to people considered ‘eligible’ under the Act will only cover the cost that the Council would pay if they were sourcing the care themselves and people may have to pay top-up fees themselves.
Deferred payment agreements
Under the new Act, all local councils in England have a legal duty to offer deferred payment agreements to enable people to use the value of their homes to help pay for care costs. If eligible, the council will help to pay for care home bills which you can delay repaying until you choose to sell your home, or until after your death.
Support for carers
One of the big changes to be introduced by the new Care Act is that local councils have a new duty to promote people’s ‘wellbeing’ and this applies to carers for the first time.
Carers have a legal right to be assessed for local authority support – in recognition of the valuable contribution that carers make to society. If eligible, the support will usually be provided for free.
CarersUK provide some detailed advice on how the new Care Act impacts carers.
Human Rights protection
For the first time people receiving care through their local council either at home or in residential care are now protected by the Human Rights Act and can use this law if they believe they are receiving substandard care. However, this protection is not available self-funders or those people who privately arrange their own care.
Accessible information and advice
Under the new Act, local authorities must now provide an Information and Advice service about available care and support, as well as independent financial advice on care funding, that is accessible to everyone – not just service users.
Focus on prevention
The new Act gives local authorities new duties to maintain the health of service users rather than dealing with people after a crisis or emergency. This ties in with the previous point about access to information as it will help people make better decisions about the care and support they need well before reaching a crisis point.
The new ‘care cap’
From April 2016 there will be a maximum cap of £72,000 on total care costs for those judged eligible for either care at home or residential care.
Once the cap is reached, the local authority is responsible for all further costs to meet the person’s eligible needs. Importantly, this care cap should prevent people from losing life savings to pay for their care.
However, the cap does not include living costs or allow for refunds on payments made before April 2016. Also, if someone chooses to pay for more expensive care services, the local authority would not be responsible for these extra costs.
New means-tested thresholds
From April 2016 the upper capital limit for residential care where the value of someone’s home is included will rise from £23,250 to £118,000. If the value of the home is not included, the upper limit will increase from £23,250 to £27,000. The lower capital limit will rise from £14,250 to £17,000.
The significance of these changes is that from April 2016 people who have capital and were receiving help from their local authority might receive more help, and people who were self-funders might, for the first time, receive help.

text: Serine biosynthesis in plants proceeds by two pathways; a photorespiratory pathway which is associated with photorespiration and a pathway from phosphoglycerate. A cDNA encoding plastidic phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) which catalyzes the formation of phosphoserine from phosphohydroxypyruvate has been isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. Genomic DNA blot analysis indicated that this enzyme is most probably encoded by a single gene and is mapped on the lower arm of chromosome 4. The deduced protein contains an N-terminal extension exhibiting the general features of a plastidic transit peptide, which was confirmed by subcellular organelle localization using GFP (green flourescence protein). Northern analysis indicated preferential expression of PSAT in roots of light-grown plants, supporting the idea that the phosphorylated pathway may play an important role in supplying the serine requirement of plants in non-green tissues. In situ hybridization analysis of PSAT revealed that the gene is generally expressed in all types of cells with a significantly higher amount in the meristem tissue of root tips.

Massie’s final point that was the punchline:
Here the Kentucky Representative hit the bullseye, as this is precisely the endgame. However, since one can’t unleash the full $350 trillion overnight without classical economists admitting the truth about what the real nature of this bailout is, it will be done piecemeal with other crises, and other “unprecedented” emergencies emerging in the near future and unlocking the path to what is the real goal of this unprecedented reflationary bailout of the world’s most indebted nation. It also indirectly addresses Massie’s final point:

Miss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is outraged:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is very upset that
potential immigrants won’t be receiving $1,200 checks in the $2 trillion
emergency relief bill unanimously passed by the Senate Wednesday night.
For example, we could clear out these useless trees to make room for apartment complexes:
It’s a shame that all this empty space is not being used for factories to help support our burgeoning immigrant population:
If only we had the political will, there’s no reason we can’t bulldoze these ugly, and uneven, rocks and build shopping malls:
As you can see, we have plenty of space that is not being utilized
for the advancement of diversity. I would even say that such waste is a
crime against humanity.
All foreign investment in
Australia will now require approval in a Federal Government move
designed to prevent international raids on struggling companies hit by
the coronavirus pandemic.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the number of people present at public gatherings will be limited to a maximum of two people.
The previous limit was 10 people… “I should stress that 10-person limit is enforceable now in most states and territories and can carry very significant on-the-spot fines,” Mr Morrison said.
Mr Morrison made the announcement following a National Cabinet meeting with state and territory leaders on Sunday.
He also said states and territories would move to temporarily ban the eviction of people facing financial distress from rental properties.
Measures to address rental stress for both businesses and residents have been considered by the National Cabinet for days.
Mr Morrison said the Government was relying on landlords and tenants to
come up with arrangements to help them get through the crisis.
In addition to the new gathering restrictions, outside gyms and skate parks will be closed from Monday.
Boot camps will also be reduced to two people.
Specifically, as Bloomberg details, at the center of it all are a small band of traders who for years had cashed in on what had always been a sure-fire bet: shorting gold futures in New York against being long physical gold in London. Usually, they’d ride the trade out till the end of the contract when
they’d have a couple of options to get out without marking much, if any,
But the virus, and the global economic collapse that it’s
sparking, have created such extreme price distortions that those
easy-exit options disappeared on them.
… The real price.. for real gold?Nearer $1,800. If you can get it.
“The case for gold is simple,” says Strauss.
#AceSocialReport – Mar.28: But it seems that many are totally ignoring a very obvious way to reduce usage significantly, and that is by disabling autoplay on their web sites and in their apps: To give an example, a couple of days ago I was watching a show on Hulu, … but I drifted off to sleep………….Two hours later I awoke and realize that Hulu had streamed two additional episodes that no one was watching. I searched in vain for a way to disable autoplay of the next episode, but if there is some way to do it I could not find it:
What I wonder is how many people even want autoplay? I believe Netflix finally gave their users a way to disable it, but they need to affirmatively do so via a setting somewhere. But many other platforms give their users no option to disable autoplay.
That is also true of many individual apps that can be used on a Roku or similar device:
In Ukraine, the measures to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus highlighted the class divide. The well-traveled rich are most likely to bring the disease into the country, yet the poor will suffer most from the restrictions.
Even the key measure, staying home, is problematic for many in Ukraine. A recent survey showed that 57% don’t have funds to live in strict quarantine for more than four weeks. Only 16% can stretch savings for up to two months.
Those who are hit hardest are low-income families, service workers, manual laborers, creative class professionals, the elderly and the disabled.
They can’t afford to stock up. The prospects of getting the next paycheck are uncertain for those who are employed in the sectors greatly damaged already: hospitality, entertainment, retail, services, seasonal work abroad, etc.
For those who stay at home, the quality of their time in quarantine also depends on their financial situation.
Five of the nation’s largest banks have agreed to temporarily suspend residential mortgage payments for people whose jobs have been affected by the CCP virus, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on March 25.
The announcement came as Newsom provided yet another grim statistic about the economic devastation from the virus: 1 million Californians have filed for unemployment benefits since March 13 as businesses shut down or dramatically scaled back because of a statewide “stay-at-home” order to prevent virus spread.
The repo market underpins much of the U.S. financial system, helping to ensure banks have the liquidity to meet their daily operational needs and maintain sufficient reserves.
In a repo trade, Wall Street
firms and banks offer U.S. Treasuries and other high-quality securities as collateral to raise cash, often overnight, to finance their trading and lending activities. The next day, borrowers repay their loans plus what is typically a nominal rate of interest and get their bonds back.
In other words, they repurchase, or repo, the bonds.
An Australian senator is warning that Australia must guard itself against foreign buyers amid an economic recession triggered by the CCP virus pandemic.
The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China before it was transmitted worldwide.
Senator Pauline Hanson, who leads the nationalist One Nation Party, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Scott Morrison warning against “international vultures” and asked that he immediately suspend any sale approvals by the country’s foreign investment regulator, the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).
“Given unemployment numbers are surging, our stocks have been knee-capped, housing prices are set to fall, and our dollar is weakened, I will not allow foreign nations to fight over the carcass of Australia’s misfortune,” Hanson wrote.
The senator said she had alerted parliament “on numerous occasions the unforgivable volume of FIRB approvals.”

All new Volvo cars to have over-the-air (OTA) software update capability – latest round will reach 190k cars – paultan.org
Volvo has announced that all its new car models from model year 2023 will be available with over-the-air (OTA) software update capability. With this, OTA will be available on the latest XC90 SUV, S60 sedan and V60 wagon models and it follows the tech’s introduction in Volvo’s fully-electric cars.
In this latest round of OTA updates, Volvo owners will get an upgrade of their infotainment system to the latest version of Android Automotive OS, Android 11. They will also get access to new app categories on Google Play, including navigation, charging and parking, while video streaming is expected to be added later in the year.
The update also brings feature improvements, ranging from better energy management through improved climate timers (boosts driving range) and updates to mobile app functionality and in-car applications. The Volvo app will also have more frequent updates from the car on the charging level during an ongoing session.
This is Volvo’s eighth complete car update and it will reach more than 190,000 cars worldwide. This week’s release also marks the debut of OTA updates in several markets such as India, Taiwan and New Zealand; after expansion to markets such as South Korea, Australia, Thailand and Singapore earlier in the year.
“By making all Volvo models able to receive OTA updates, we make important progress towards our ambition of making our customers’ cars better every day. This is a significant milestone: we’re now updating cars of all models in a majority of our markets, bringing the benefits of remote continuous updates to an ever increasing number of customers,” said Henrik Green, chief product officer at Volvo Cars.
Since the beginning of 2021, Volvo has been offering OTA updates on a regular basis in the majority of its markets, and the Geely-owned company expects the volume of cars covered by such updates to grow with every new update. Markets where Volvo now introduces OTA updates include Australia, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
Separately, Volvo also announced that it will offer its infotainment system with Google apps and services such as Google Assistant and Google Maps built-in across all new models. Jointly developed with Google, Volvo says that its infotainment system offers customers a user-friendly interface, unparalleled connectivity and access to well-known apps and services. However, OTA capability and Google Services are not available on the XC40.

On Tuesday, April 3, a woman plunged 60 feet trying to take a selfie on the 730 foot tall Foresthill Bridge in California.
The woman was knocked unconscious, and fractured several bones and suffered a deep gash to the arm. She was airlifted to hospital after the accident and is luckily expected to live.
Comments on the CNN story on Facebook were scathing. “The Darwin rule applies,” said Lyn Larsen, referring to the notion that stupidity leads people to remove themselves from the gene pool. “Unbelievable how self absorbed we have become,” Susan Brewer commented. More than seven hundred people reacted with a laughing emoji on the story, presumably because of how the woman was preoccupied before her fall.
Wikipedia’s entry ‘List of selfie-related injuries and deaths’ is growing by the day.
Why are people risking their lives for self-promotion? It it just stupidity?

Вы только вдумайтесь в эту цифру: это выше, чем Эйфелева башня и даже выше, чем смотровая площадка Останкинской телебашни! —————————————— We climbed on the abandoned tower – 350 meters !!! You just think about this figure: this is higher than the Eiffel Tower!
Actually, it’s an excellent business decision.
Social media related positions are multiplying every day, and it pays (literally) to have an eye-catching online profile with a strong following. That usually means regular content that depicts the subject as adventurous, fun and cosmopolitan. That means selfies.
Search ‘social media position’ and dozens of ads will appear on LinkedIn and Indeed, searching for candidates with “expert knowledge of Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Reddit” and the “ability to adapt to the style, tonality and vernacular of the current “voice” of consumers.”
Internships are popping up like mushrooms that require young candidates to promote their companies and products online. And the skill to do that begins with promoting yourself.
Driving Force, a vehicle rental company, recently circulated an ad for a young person with a “sparkling personality” to take a publicity tour across Canada to promote their brand. “This is a short-term position (two months) that could mean long-term benefits for your career,” the brief read.
Royal Carribean UK & Ireland is giving away a free cruise and $3,700 to a candidate “skilled with Instagram” to document their trip on social media.
World of Beer, a chain of pubs, offers $12 000 every summer to interns. They are looking, in their own words, for “social media nuts who are always snapping photos of beer and food to share on social media.”
In other words, these companies are looking for influencers.
Celebrity spokespeople are falling out of fashion and social media experts are taking their place.
Oroton, a luxury accessories company, made headlines last week after it fired Rose Byrne, an actress, in favour of ‘younger influencers.’ In a statement to The Daily Telegraph, a spokesperson for the company said, “Typically, an influencer will not cost as much as a major globally known actor.”
There is a growing group of go-between “talent agency” companies such as Tribe that connect influencers to companies.
There is a financial incentive on both sides.
For companies, young people have major clout with their followers and for social media gurus, they get paid.
The Canadian Youth Unemployment rate has been holding steady at around 13 per cent for the last five years.
In 1990, about half of young Canadians had completed some form of post-secondary education. By 2011, that number rose to 75.5 per cent. Competition for any jobs at all is stiff, but this is especially true for skilled jobs.
The top field of study for graduates, according to Statistics Canada, is business, management and public administration. The reality is, in today’s job market, and especially in business, knowledge of social media and advancement of one’s personal brand is critical.
In fact, it has become de rigeur to require candidates to submit their personal websites, twitter accounts, LinkedIn, and other indicators of social media presence along with resumes and cover letters.
For musicians and artists, grant applications such as this form provided by Music Nova Scotia often have a category for ‘social media reach’ that helps determine the amount of funding and support they receive.
In a market where young people are asked to source their worth through their online branding, it makes sense that particularly ambitious youths are putting their lives on the line for the cause.

Covington Students Bullied by American Left During "No Name-Calling Week"
Let's stand with these kids. They did nothing wrong.
Oh, the ironies. By now, most of you have heard about the Covington Catholic High School boys who attended the March for Life in Washington and while waiting for their bus to pick them up at the Lincoln Memorial, were accosted by two small groups of radical "identity politics" demonstrators.
Covington Catholic teen retains composure as activist drums in his face
The key boy targeted by a Native American demonstrator, who shoved his drum right in the boy's face trying to provoke a response, behaved in a very restrained manner, and should be commended for not reacting antagonistically.
But guess what? A highly- edited videotaped version of the events was posted on YouTube and before waiting for the entire video, not just the left but many conservatives and even their own school, mayor and church jumped on these boys, suspending them from school. The school and these families are now facing threats of violence from the unhinged, child-attacking adult left.
A firestorm of criticism of the boys (not the deceitful, obscene activists) erupted on Twitter with some publishing their personal information and calling for violence against them.And Twitter allowed this...!
Some of you will recall that Mission America sent out an alert a few days ago (see HERE) about the homosexual-backed "No Name-Calling Week" observed in many schools this week (timed strategically to coincide with MLK Day, even though "LGBT" behaviors do not qualify as civil rights but moral wrongs).
Doesn't it strike you as very troubling that adults are openly calling for teens to be harmed this week? Teens who did nothing wrong, even when provoked, but only because they apparently hold conservative, pro-life views, and some were wearing hats supporting President Trump?
We don't buy the idea of "hate speech"-- but if ever something fits that description, it's when adults attack kids like this.
See the article below with a press statement from the We the People Convention.
Ohio Tea Party Leader: DOJ Should Enforce Law, Protect Covington Boys and Families
Tom Zawistowski, We the People Convention, January 22, 2019
OHIO TEA PARTY LEADER CALLS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP
TO ENFORCE THE LAW AND PROTECT AMERICANS
Akron, OH - Today, Tom Zawistowski, President of the TEA Party Affiliated We the People Convention, called on President Trump to use the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and other government agencies, to enforce the law and protect all American citizens from the criminal acts being committed by political groups and individuals who are trying to silence speech in our nation and persecute individuals for their political positions.
Zawistowski contends that the recent attack on high school students from Covington Catholic High School is a tipping point that requires the President to act by demanding that federal agencies do their job and protect the rights of all Americans.
Zawistowski said, "Mr. President, when do We the People get 'equal justice' and 'equal protection' under the law?? When is ANYONE who makes a death threat, like against the teenagers from Covington Catholic, going to be publicly identified, arrested and prosecuted? When is ANYONE who makes a bomb threat, like the ones made against Covington Catholic School, going to be publicly identified, arrested and charged??? When is your DOJ going to reverse the anti-constitutional and illegal position of the Holder/Lynch/Obama administration and return to the historic position of ‘equal justice for all’ where white Americans are not ‘fair game’ for rampant overt racial discrimination; vicious personal, verbal and physical attacks based solely on the color of their skin; and bullying and intimidation by radical race-based political groups like we saw this weekend in D.C. and are threatening Covington Catholic school today?"

Local hospitals join fight against Malloy budget plan they say will hurt them
The region's two hospitals have joined with the Connecticut Hospital Association in pushing hard against the portions of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's budget proposal they say would have a devastating effect on their operations, and are encouraged that sympathy seems to be growing among state legislators who've heard their pitch.
"We're educating them, and they're beginning to recognize these cuts are very, very deep," David Whitehead, president and chief executive officer of The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, said Monday.
Whitehead joined William Stanley, vice president for development and community relations at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London, Dr. Oliver Mayorga, chairman of emergency services at L+M, and two leaders of the hospital association in a meeting with The Day's editorial board. Since the governor unveiled his budget last month, hospitals around the state and the association have been meeting with lawmakers and testifying at legislative hearings to explain how the state's 30 hospitals stand to lose a total of $548 million in state funding by 2015. That amount, they say, would force them to lay off hundreds of workers, cut programs and increase wait times at emergency rooms, among other effects. Particularly vulnerable would be programs that currently run at a deficit, including psychiatric services, but are now seen as more critical than ever, hospital officials said. Malloy's budget, they said, would exact a disproportionately large impact on hospitals compared to other areas, in effect using hospital cuts to close about more than one-quarter of the state budget gap.
"I don't think there's any other sector that will see the same impact," said Stanley.
L+M would lose $18.5 million - about 5 percent of its annual revenues - under the governor's budget proposal, while Backus would lose $20 million - about 6.5 percent of its annual revenues.
In response to the hospitals' objections, Gian-Carl Casa, spokesman for the state Office of Policy and Management, said that under the governor's budget, hospitals would still receive $1.7 billion in state funding from Medicaid reimbursements and other sources. He added that hospitals are also in line to receive increased income from private insurance as the Affordable Care Act moves more state residents now covered by Medicaid into the private insurance pool, where reimbursement rates are higher. The act will also reduce the number of uninsured state residents from about 10 percent to 2 percent, he said, so hospitals will rely less on the state reimbursement for uncompensated care.
Hospitals, however, are skeptical of the calculations about the impact of the Affordable Care Act. In addition, they strongly object to one of the mechanisms the governor's budget would use. A hospital tax, originally enacted as a complicated means of leveraging additional federal dollars and then returning the tax funds back to the hospitals, has been turned into a true tax on hospital revenues, hospital officials said. They provided a chart showing that in 2012, hospitals paid about $350 million in taxes to the state and received $400.3 million back. But starting in 2013, the ratio shifts, so that hospitals would get $26.6 million less than they pay in the tax in 2013, and by 2015, would get back just $81.5 million after paying the same $350 million, for a net tax of $268.5 million.
"We're quite alarmed about this tax," said Stephen Frayne, senior vice president for health policy at the state hospital association. "The effective tax rate would be 55 percent of all hospitals' net income, versus the corporate tax rate of nine percent."
State Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, is a member of the Appropriations Committee and heard the testimony of all 30 hospitals at a recent hearing. She said she is "not unsympathetic" to the hospitals' case, but is still gathering information.
"I want to understand the whole package of money that goes to the hospitals," she said. "But this whole thing is very concerning to me. I've talked to the governor's people, and I've talked to the hospital people, and I never get the entire picture."
State Sen. Terry Gerratana, D-New Britain, and state Rep. Susan Johnson, D-Windham, are co-chairwomen of the Public Health Committee, and Gerratana also heads the Appropriations' Committee's Health and Hospitals Subcommittee. Both said they expect the governor's proposal will be revised and that there is support for softening the impacts on hospitals.
"The cuts are very drastic," said Gerrantana. "We need to really look at this."

These SunButter Soft Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are addictive and will not last long in your house! You will love these gluten free chocolate chip cookies.
This post does contain affiliate ad links.
Update: We recently updated the photos of this recipe! Same delicious recipe but new photos!
First off, I LOVE SUNBUTTER. (affiliate ad link) I am so sorry to yell, but I wanted to be clear! I even visited the SunButter headquarters. You can see my amazing trip here and learn all about how SunButter is made!
We initially found SunButter because my youngest had a peanut allergy. Fast forward a few years and he has thankfully outgrown that allergy. He does have an allergy to almonds so we have to be careful of the spread we use. Thankfully, we can rely on SunButter.
We also have created other delicious recipes using SunButter. Check out our SunButter Spaghetti with Red Peppers and our SunButter Banana Oatmeal! Just incase you are hungry for something other than cookies.
Now if you do not have a food allergy or aren’t in the mood for sunflower seed spread, you can certainly use peanut butter. (affiliate ad link)
The funny thing about these cookies, is they are magic. Not really, but they do kinda perform a magic trick!
After a few hours the inside of these cookies turn GREEN, if you are using SunButter. My kids LOVE this trick! Do not fear, it is NOT mold!
It is a chemical reaction! Over on the SunButter site you can find a full explanation in the FAQ’s. But the basic story is that the chlorophyll in the sunflower seeds reacts with the baking soda/powder in recipes when baked.
We love SunButter!
That’s it. Just a fun chemical reaction. SunButter offers suggestions on how to avoid the green, but we love that magic trick!
I prefer to gently push down the soft gluten free chocolate chip cookies when they come out of the oven! I like my cookies a little on the flat side, verses being too round.
These cookies are soft and delicious. They aren’t necessarily the dunking kind of cookie. These cookies can be stored on the counter in a sealed container for 1-2 days or in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
Hungry for more?
If you are looking for more delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipes you can visit my friend Michelle at My Gluten Free Kitchen. She has an amazing gluten free cookie recipe on her site! It uses cream cheese and is mouthwatering!
If gluten free double chocolate chip cookies are your thing, then you need to hit up my friend Chrystal’s page, Gluten Free Palate! Her cookies are addictive! Be warned! So yummy! Or if you can have peanut butter, this cookie is a delicious option: Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Need more gluten-free dessert recipes? Visit the Recipe Index to see all of our recipes, or try one of these: Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, Lemon Cranberry Cookies, Gluten Free Brownie Trifle, or Triple Chocolate Cake!

A marvelously clear picture taken from the top of the elevator of the Eiffel Tower during going up and coming down of the car. This wonderful tower is 1,000 feet in height, and the picture produces a most sensational effect. As the camera leaves the ground and rises to the top of the tower, the enormous white city opens out to the view of the astonished spectator. Arriving at the top of the tower, a bird's eye view of the Exposition looking toward the Trocadero, and also toward the Palace of Electricity, is made, and the camera begins its descent. The entire trip is shown on a 200-foot film.

The Benefit of Yoga Therapy in San Antonio
Originally posted on https://www.sanantoniorecoverycenter.com/rehab-blog/yoga-therapy-in-san-antonio/
Addictions reach past the physical; they affect every part of the addict’s life. Addiction can even touch their body, soul, and mind. This is why holistic forms of therapy, in general, are so beneficial to addicts. You need something to heal your entire body, not just the addiction. An excellent way to clear your mind and find healing is yoga therapy in San Antonio.
YOGA THERAPY IN SAN ANTONIO
Comorbidity complicates things. Comorbidity is a term used to describe an addiction that exists alongside one or more diseases or conditions. Whether an addict suffers from other diseases or conditions that may or may not contribute to the addiction, yoga has a way of helping. Yoga decreases stress and depression, it creates physical strength, and it helps the mind to become more focused amongst many other benefits. This can help to retrain the brain from looping in negative thought patterns. Yoga also promotes blood flow, which is beneficial in removing toxins from the body. Yoga provides an excellent form of self-love to the addict, which is necessary for recovery.
Yoga is beneficial to virtually everyone. Your first step is to reach out for help. From there, you will go through recovery, but don’t stop there. You can have the life you have always wanted. You can’t do it all in one step. That would be nice. Realistically, it’s a bunch of little steps that will lead you to your destination. This is a good thing because you will evolve into this beautiful person who is full of strength. Yoga and other forms of San Antonio addiction therapy can help with addiction, but it also provides balance and peace. Yoga is also beneficial for aftercare in preventing relapse.
ALTERNATIVE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
If you have been searching for yoga therapy in San Antonio, we want you to know we offer this form of therapy amongst many others. Learning about available addiction therapy services is key to finding the best help for your needs. Everyone recovers from addiction in their own way, which means you need treatment and therapy that is right for you.
San Antonio Recovery Center provides many forms of alternative addiction rehab programs and therapies, such as:
- Holistic therapy
- Fitness therapy
- Meditation therapy
- Spirituality therapy
- Spiritual counseling
- 90-day treatment programs
- Aftercare programs
Our individualized treatment plans, which takes your wants and needs into account, will help you to recover from your addiction. We know you’ve struggled with this. It’s time to give us a call.
