[CPMD-list] Meaning of Kohn Sham output

I am having some trouble understanding the output of a Kohn Sham run.  As an 
example I'm providing input and output from a run done on water (I have 
tried this with more complex systems).

At the beginning of the run cpmd indicates there are 7 occupied alpha states 
and 9 occupied beta states, however, at the end of the run it indicates that 
there are 8 occupied states for both alpha
and beta.  Which of these outputs should I use to find the HOMO/LUMO 
orbitals, or am I misinterpreting the output?

Output:

NUMBER OF STATES:                                             24
NUMBER OF ELECTRONS:                                    16.00000

SPIN MULTIPLICITY:                                       TRIPLET
NUMBER OF ALPHA STATES:                                       11
NUMBER OF BETA STATES:                                        13
