Provider changes put foster program at risk Ariz. firm not licensed to continue Taos group’s treatment practices By Andrew Oxford The Taos News
An Arizona nonprofit taking over operations at Casa de Corazón in Taos will not immediately continue the organization’s treatment foster care program, according to the agency’s CEO. Casa de Corazón was one of 15 behavioral health care providers in New Mexico whose Medicaid payments from the state were frozen in June following an audit alleging fraud and overbilling. The state has contracted with Arizona firms to take over behavioral health services until an investigation into the fraud claims is complete. The state has said that the Arizona firms will rehire New Mexico clinicians working for the 15 providers targeted in the audit, and it has downplayed the possibility that some patients will lose their services.

For Santa Fe Opera supernumeraries, every role is important

n executioner and a thug. An army inductee and a banquet guest in ancient Judea. A three-headed dog and a giant toy monkey. No, they’re not wild characters in a science-fiction film, though they are theatrical as all get out. They’re supernumerary roles that have been filled by Santa Feans at The Santa Fe Opera in this and past summers — and those onstage this year are loving it.
Super fun Supernumerary is a fancy word for the theatrical terms extra, filler-in or spear carrier. They are characters who do not speak or sing, but whose silent presence is vital to the operatic illusion — maids, servants, monsters, animals, bystanders, barmaids, resident of a hamlet, you name it. There might be one or many or none in an opera, depending
on dramatic requirements and directors’ desires. Their types can range from children to adults to old people to specialists, such as acrobats or swordsmen or swimmers (yes, in 2006’s The Tempest by Thomas Adès). They get to enjoy being part of a major production, and they relieve the company’s apprentice artists from having to take on additional duties besides their own onerous vocal

MIAMI — Derek Medina’s was not the first Facebook confession, but it may have been the most graphic. At least a handful of others have posted online about killing someone, but this seems to be the first time anyone included a grisly photo of the corpse. In December 2011, a middle-aged Indiana man posted that he’d killed his ex-girlfriend and her friend. He also announced his own death. “someone call 911. three dead bodies at 3229 lima road fort wayne Indiana,” he wrote. “I’ve killed ryann, erin, and myself. People were warned not to …
