A San Francisco man has pleaded innocent to charges he posed as a dermatologist and treated patients out of his home, court records indicate.
Timothy Syed Andersson, who entered his plea Wednesday on a total of 51 felony counts, is accused of falsely claiming to have been a staff member at Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday.
Prosecutors allege as part of an attempt to pass as a dermatologist, the suspect used a needle to poke a patient dozens of times without offering the patient anesthetic.
Brian Buckelew, a spokesman for the district attorney's office, said prosecutors expect a bail challenge from Andersson's attorney, George Lazarus.
Andersson, 66, was being held on $1 million bail pending a March 11 court appearance, the Chronicle said.

About Sella (from Rockbusters):
Sella is one of the main crags in the Costa Blanca region.
This extensive area offers many different types of climbing. Easy and mid grade sport routes are found at the most popular main crags in the centre of the valley, whilst mid to harder grade routes are concentrated in steeper sectors like the famous Wild Side. There are also mostly bolted multi-pitch climbs in Pared de Rosaria as well as entirely traditional routes in Puig Campana. All of this on great quality limestone!
Most of Sella's routes are up to 30 m of slabby or vertical, fingery and technical climbing on little crimps and holes.
The Costa Blanca's sunny weather makes it a brilliant climbing destination throughout the year. However, the best time to visit is from September until April. The most popular sectors in Sella have a Southerly orientation which makes them a perfect destination on sunny Winter days. Although the steep Sector Wild Side hardly ever gets the sun, summertime will generally be too hot unless you head for the North-facing crags like Pared de Rosaria.
Sella is also very convenient in terms of accommodation, transport and cost. It is only about a one hour drive from Alicante airport. The nearest big city is Benidorm which is only 40 minutes away by car. It is easy to reach the Sella and once there you feel far away from the crowded Benidorm beaches. The Costa Blanca has a wide choice of all types of accommodation according to your taste and budget, ranging from package deals in Benidorm hotels to apartments and villas in Sella, Finestrat and Villa Joyosa. As there is a lot of climbing outside the main valley it is definitely worth hiring a car to make the most of your holiday. Don't forget that in the Costa Blanca there is always an option of spending your rest days on the beach!

Meet Flash Fiction Winner, Jeannie Waldridge
Jeannie recently won second place in the WOW! Women On Writing Winter 2015 Contest for her humorous flash story, "The Church Meeting." The current submission, "Serving Life on the Inside," is a bit of a departure for a humorous storyteller but a story that deserved to be told.
Jeannie is greatly supported by her writing group, Women Who Write, which is based in Louisville. The members readily offer their time, expertise and encouragement to all writers from the novice to the professional. Through the writing group, Jeannie has come to accept the fact that she is a writer as long as she continues to put pen to paper. Currently, Jeannie finds that photographs make great writing prompts and inspires fabulous storytelling.
interview by Marcia Peterson
WOW: Congratulations on your first place win in our Summer 2015 Flash Fiction competition! What inspired you to enter the contest?
Jeannie: Thank you so much. I must say I was a little shocked to win first place after placing second in the Winter Contest. This is quite an honor to be chosen again. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me.
I have found I am much more of a productive writer if I have a deadline and an idea. I also love competition and flash fiction does not carry a lot of time commitment stressors. I usually encourage my social media friends and writing group to enter contests as well. Having the benefit of receiving a critique in the WOW Contest is also a huge bonus. If I don't win, at least I can get an idea of what folks are looking for and how I can make improvements.
WOW: Can you tell us what encouraged the idea behind your story, "Serving Life on the Inside?"
Jeannie: For years I worked with youth in foster care and group homes. Many of them carried around their parent's baggage as well as their own. For many of them, it was hard to tell where one story ended and another story began. Many times the children would pick up their parent's story despite fighting temptation and having the desire for a better life. I wanted to tell that side of the story but have a somewhat better ending. Many of our foster children move from place to place with all of their belongings in garbage bags. It is a visually powerful message we send to the children, what you own is not worthy of a bag or a suitcase. The message becomes, you are disposable. The social workers are given limited resources and expected to work miracles. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure many of them can be caught walking on water from time to time. They do great work and care about the children but the system just keeps moving.
Unfortunately, this story plays out over and over all across the country until someone breaks the cycle. That doesn't mean they become president, work for NASA or make millions. It simply means they find a way to be productive beyond just surviving and they make it without having some agency make decisions for them. I heard that little girl's voice for a long time until I finally wrote her story. I think some of the demons of my past work life finally found peace from the story.
WOW: We'd love to know more about your writing routines. Could you tell us when and where you usually write? Do you have favorite tools or habits that get you going (you mentioned using photographs as writing prompts, for example)?
Jeannie: I tend to write in chaos. I like to have noise and activity. If things are too quiet, I find it terribly distracting. I am most content when I write with flash fiction parameters, small word count and a complete story at the end. Then the story is neatly wrapped up with a bow. I think it has been difficult for me to branch out with my writing style because I love completing the project and moving on to another story. There are only so many hours in the day and I tend to get distracted by shiny things. I really do benefit from having a specific challenge or contest to write or life creeps up and gets in the way. However, I am finding the note app on my phone to be a perfect typing medium. I can write a few lines here and there with little fanfare. It is amazing how productive you can be on a smartphone.
A friend of mine is a photographer and he has sent me some pictures and asked me to write a story. Those stories are some of my favorites. I really love that process and find that using photos is a great way to start a story. It is amazing where our imagination takes us with just a little snapshot from a moment in time.
I continue to attend my monthly writing group meeting called, Women Who Write in Louisville, KY. There are so many talented writers there it really pushes you to want to write better. Everyone has different styles so the feedback helps you look at your piece from different perspectives.
WOW: Great ideas for writing inspiration! Can you also share any good books you've read lately?
Jeannie: Tis the Christmas season so I have just finished Fannie Flagg's A Redbird's Christmas. I just love books with southern charm. I also read Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman. I usually like books that are more humorous and have memorable characters. Life can be stressful so I tend to stay away from anything that elevates my heart rate, so that limits my selection a great deal. I have found myself in the young reader section just to get an idea of the tempo and structure of the chapter books. I have some ideas for stories but want to see what is out there already.
WOW: Thanks so much for chatting with us today, Jeannie! Before you go, do you have any tips for our readers who may be thinking about entering writing contests?
Jeannie: I think everyone should enter at least one contest every six months. Of course, once a quarter is even better if you are entering the WOW contest. It is a great way to keep us all writing and sharing our talents. If there is a critique available, it is worth the investment to get the feedback. I would also join a writing group so they can offer feedback and support on a regular basis. It never hurts to have a little input before you hit the submit button. Who knows, you just might win.
Our Winter 2016 Flash Fiction Contest is OPEN

Is Wi-Fi making your child ill?
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of The Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
Is Wi-Fi making your child ill?
The Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers), May 21, 2015
Posted: 2017-05-29 16:49:11
Six years ago, Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe moved to the country, stopped carrying a mobile phone and sacrificed a successful career in emergency medicine to focus on ... radiation emitted by Wi-Fi, mobiles and other wireless devices. Her interest in EMFs started in 2009 after she began noticing increasing trends in certain symptoms – headaches, insomnia, fatigue and palpitations, but also more serious conditions including brain tumours in young people, fertility problems and accelerating neurological diseases. As Wi-Fi, laptops and iPads have become increasingly prevalent in classrooms, Mallery-Blythe says "hundreds" of families have sought her help with what they believe to be EMF-related diseases and health issues. "RF is currently classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a ... possible cause of cancer in humans," [says Mallery-Blythe]. "There is a vast amount of published literature documenting the harmful effects on every biological system." In February the French government banned Wi-Fi in nursery schools and restricted use in primary schools. The German government has recommended that the use of Wi-Fi in the workplace or home should be avoided where possible. LA has reduced student exposure to Wi-Fi radiation to 10,000 times below US government standard. A 2008 study found a fivefold increase in the risk of glioma (a form of brain cancer ... linked to mobile phone usage) for those starting mobile phone use under 20 years of age.
Note: For lots more reliable information on cellphone risk, read this well researched article. In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics urged the US to reassess cell phone safety standards for children.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.
Note: Why was ABC the only major news source to report on this highly revealing story? Read the shocking declassified documents on Operation Northwoods. Many military and political leaders look at the world as a grand chessboard. Sacrificing pawns (innocent civilians) is sometimes necessary to capture the queen.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.
[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the [9/11] suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.
Note: The deceptions in the 9/11 official story are clearly shown in this key story. The FBI never revised its list of alleged hijackers. These four are all listed in the official 9/11 Commission report as the hijackers. Click here and scroll down a little over half way to see their photos in the official report.

In the U.S., an Angioplasty Costs $32,000. Elsewhere? Maybe $6,400.
2019-12-27, New York Times
The International Federation of Health Plans, a group representing the C.E.O.s of health insurers worldwide, publishes a guide every few years on the international cost for common medical services. Its newest report, on 2017 prices, came out this month. Every time, the upshot is vivid and similar: For almost everything on the list, there is a large divergence between the United States and everyone else. Patients and insurance companies in the United States pay higher prices for medications, imaging tests, basic health visits and common operations. Those high prices make health care in the U.S. extremely expensive, and they also finance a robust and politically powerful health care industry, which means lowering prices will always be hard. For a typical angioplasty, a procedure that opens a blocked blood vessel to the heart, the average U.S. price is $32,200, compared with $6,400 in the Netherlands, or $7,400 in Switzerland, the survey finds. A typical M.R.I. scan costs $1,420 in the United States, but around $450 in Britain. An injection of Herceptin, an important breast cancer treatment, costs $211 in the United States, compared with $44 in South Africa. These examples aren't outliers. Researchers at Harvard conducted an exhaustive study last year of things that make health systems in developed countries different from one another. The clear finding of those researchers was that it's this huge gap in prices ... that helps explain why the United States is such an expensive place to be sick.

More Drugmakers Hike U.S. Prices as New Year Begins
2020-01-01, US News & World Report/Reuters
Drugmakers including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, Gilead Sciences Inc, and Biogen Inc hiked U.S. list prices on more than 50 drugs on Wednesday, bringing total New Year's Day drug price increases to more than 250, according to data analyzed by healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors. Reuters reported on Tuesday that drugmakers including Pfizer Inc, GlaxoSmithKline PLC and Sanofi SA were planning to increase prices on more than 200 drugs in the United States on Jan. 1. More early year price increases could still be announced. Many branded drugmakers have pledged to keep their U.S. list price increases below 10% a year, under pressure from politicians and patients. The United States, which leaves drug pricing to market competition, has higher prices than in other countries where governments directly or indirectly control the costs, making it the world's most lucrative market for manufacturers. Soaring U.S. prescription drug prices are expected to again be a central issue in the presidential election.

Cyber attacks and electronic voting errors threaten 2020 outcome, experts warn
2020-01-02, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
Seven top agency officials, including the heads of the FBI and CIA, issued a joint statement predicting Russia, and other countries intend to meddle in the 2020 elections via cyber attacks or social media. "Russia, China, Iran, and other foreign malicious actors all will seek to interfere in the voting process or influence voter perceptions," the joint statement said. The threat of more cyber attacks, plus disinformation and social media operations to sway public opinion, has prompted the federal government to work closely with officials in all 50 states, the statement said. A Senate intelligence committee report in mid-2019 concluded that Kremlin hackers manipulated election systems in all 50 states, and succeeded in breaching systems in two Florida counties and another state. New questions are being raised about the safety of some electronic voting equipment given problems in 2019 and 2018, respectively, in Pennsylvania and Georgia. A lawsuit was filed last month to block Pennsylvania from certifying electronic voting equipment that Philadelphia has purchased, after the same machines encountered significant problems in November in undercounting votes. The equipment was made by ... ES&S, which boasts about 50% of the national voting machine market and has been cited before for malfunctions. In Georgia in the 2018 elections, for instance, old voting machines made by ES&S were involved in counting votes in a race where reportedly about 80,000 votes were strangely not cast.
Note: There have been serious problems with electronic voting in the US for decades. There is little doubt powerful factions within the US have taken advantage of this. Only now that the Russians are being accused is anyone talking about this.

Trita Parsi on India's Balancing Act With Iran
By Smriti Rao
Tensions over a nuclear-armed Iran continue to keep oil on the boil with Brent crude hovering around $125 a barrel. With no end in sight to the standoff between the West and Iran, India has its work cut out. Higher fuel prices and a poor electoral performance in key states have saddled the Congress-led UPA government with a political tinderbox at home, while it also is being asked to pick sides between old friends Iran and Israel.
On Friday, Indian Oil Minister Jaipal Reddy said India will continue to import crude oil from Iran so long as doing so will not break international laws.
New Delhi is walking a tightrope.

Trita Parsi, the founder and president of the Washington-based National Iranian Council, assesses India's diplomatic performance so far and offers a view of how the U.S. can defuse the tension over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Mr. Parsi is the author of "A Single Roll of the Dice: Obama's Diplomacy With Iran."
Edited excerpts:
India imports 80% of its petroleum needs and buys $12 billion of Iranian oil annually. How damaging to oil prices is Iran's saber-rattling?
The U.S. has been trying to get sanctions on Iran and what the Iranians want to do in response is hurt the West. And one of the ways to do that is through saber-rattling that gets oil prices to shoot up. The Iranian government benefits because it's an oil producer and exporter and the Western countries take a big hit because they are consumers. Obama takes a particularly big hit because higher petrol prices mean higher gas prices. And higher gas prices mean it's going to be more difficult to create jobs in the United States.
Can OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia make up for the shortfall in Iranian oil production?
I'm not an expert on Saudi oil and their capacity to produce but what is clear is that whatever their capacity is, the markets don't seem to be convinced and petrol prices are shooting up.
Despite the Iran-Israel standoff, India is pressing ahead with its economic agenda with Tehran. We're looking at refurbishing the Chabahar port in Iran and we also managed to find a way around the West's oil sanctions by making oil payments in rupees. How are these moves being perceived in Washington -- who India has great relations with -- and in Israel, from whom India buys its arms?
Both Israel and the United States are annoyed that throughout this period, India has managed to keep a neutral position and have good relations with all sides. At the same time India is such an important country that it has become difficult for the United States to increase its pressure on India too much. Obviously there will be some increased pressure but the question is how far the West can go on this issue. I've heard that the U.S. will now tell India that they view the relationship with Iran as "offensive" which is a step higher than how it has been viewed in the past.
And how might that impact U.S.-India relations?
The question is how far the U.S. is willing to take this and it seems unlikely that the U.S. is willing to risk a conflict with India over this issue. At the same time how far is India willing to take this? Is India willing to forgo the Iranian market and Iranian energy in order to retain its position with the West? I feel the Indian government's calculation is that it feels it is completely unfair for the West, and the U.S. in particular, to put India in a position where it has to choose one friend over another. And some of India's resistance is that it simply refuses to yield into such a pressure that perhaps smaller countries can succumb to, but for a rising power like India, it would be a bit embarrassing.
How are the Israelis viewing India's position?
The Israelis have far less leverage on the Indians than this. And they have tried for quite some time to turn India, but the relationship that Israel has with India is of such value that it is not going to be sacrificed over a different perspective on Iran. The Israelis would rather put more pressure on the U.S. to put more pressure on India rather than doing it directly.
Indian authorities had earlier refused to implicate Iran for the Feb. 13 bomb attack on an Israeli diplomat's wife's car. But now, the investigations in New Delhi are turned towards the Iranians and to people with ties to Iran. Does that change the India-Iran dynamic in the conversation now?
Here's two things that are happening right now that's pulling India in different directions. On the one hand, there's the decision by the Indian police to go after the suspects with warrants (in the Israeli diplomat's attack case). And it's a very serious matter for the Indians if Iranians are engaged in terrorism or assassinations on Indian soil. It's unacceptable to India. It's saddling them with tensions and works to the advantage of those who want to see Iran-India ties deteriorate. On the other hand, the serious deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan's role is causing worry. It's quite the balancing act for the Indians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. President Obama in Washington this month and said Israel has to be the "master of its own fate." What options is Israel pursuing right now and how realistic is an Israeli military strike on Iran?
The main option that Israel is hoping for right now is that the United States commits itself or undertakes a military operation against Iran's nuclear facility. There is an implicit threat that the Israelis would do it themselves. But it's not a threat that is very credible because the Israelis have been making it for 10 years. The Israelis could be so foolish to do it themselves but it would have several negative consequences. One being it would really create a lot of tension between the U.S. and Israel because the Israelis are simply not capable of doing it successfully, and as a result in the view of the U.S. it would just matters worse.
It's striking that the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey and the Secretary of Defense Leon Pannetta seem to think attacking Iran at this point would be a bad idea. So, how does Washington hope to reconcile the differences between what politicians say and what the military thinks is viable?
The American option as President Obama laid out is that they want to continue doing diplomacy (with Iran.) I think that is the right approach. The effort needs to be more dedicated and sustainable than what the Obama administration has managed to muster so far. But the military is really concerned about being rushed into a confrontation with Iran because at the end of the day there really isn't a military solution to this. Because it's a very vague operation with very vague objectives, how will you determine whether it has been a success or not? Most likely, the Iranians will reconstitute the nuclear program or probably push more aggressively towards building a weapon. The U.S. military is not keen on the Israeli idea of going and bombing Iran every two or three years. That's not something the U.S. is interested in... mindful of the tremendous destabilizing impact that would have on the region and on the energy markets.
The West has imposed sanctions on Iran. How effective are they in pushing Iran to come to the table to talk?
I don't think the sanctions have had much to do with that. Frankly because Iranian offers to come and talk on the 20% (enriched nuclear fuel) issue were already existing last summer.
What the U.S. wants, of course, is that the Iranians would commit themselves to the agenda that the P5-plus-1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) have put together and now it seems the Iranians have done so. The U.S. may think it's because of sanctions, but the Iranians may feel we have now mastered the 20% enrichment and they've built their own fuel pads and as a result they may feel they're in a stronger position and therefore are ready to negotiate.
The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's loyalists won a majority in the parliamentary elections this month - making Ahmadinejad a lame duck president. Is this victory likely to have any impact on Iran's foreign policy and help cool oil prices?
I think 2012 is a crucial year. It's critical to make sure tensions reduce because of the elections cycle (in the U.S. and Israel.) But if we manage to make sure tensions are not increased during this period... there is an opportunity to get this issue resolved diplomatically.

Security pros have mixed reactions to updated HIPAA regulations
The newly updated HIPAA regulations bring certainty to many areas of privacy and security, but could make life hard for compliance officers.
After a wait of nearly three years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Office for Civil Rights released the much-anticipated update to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Enforcement and Breach Notification Rules, also known as the HIPAA omnibus. Read the reactions from industry experts in this two-part feature.
While some compliance professionals welcomed the release of the new HIPAA regulations for the certainty they will bring, others are railing against what they see as an increased regulatory burden.
Many of the rules contained in the final regulation are familiar. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) left unchanged large parts of the proposed rule, which was initially released in July 2010. One of the main things to come out of the release is that organizations can now operate with certainty that their privacy and security policies comply with all applicable regulations. "These are the big things we've been talking about for what seems like forever," said Angela Dinh Rose, director of health information management solutions with the American Health Information Management Association. "The industry has been waiting for this for so long that everyone is breathing a sigh of relief."
Organizations in the past might have been trying to do the right thing and still got a negative outcome. Now it makes it much clearer what the right thing is.
Doug Pollack,
chief marketing officer, ID Experts
The new rules put in place more objective standards for assessing a health care provider's liability following a data breach. Rose said this will simplify breach response. Additionally, the new regulations hold business associates (BAs) to the same standards for protecting patient health information as covered entities, which she said is one of the most significant pieces of the regulatory update.
This new regulation regarding BAs could streamline future contract negotiations between health care organizations and service providers that utilize personal health information (PHI). In the past, differences of opinion over the liability of BAs derailed some contract negotiations.
Business associates on the hook
But while the new status of BAs will clarify their responsibilities and liability, it could also lead to compliance difficulties. Many BAs might not realize the new HIPAA regulations apply to them. Those that are aware of their responsibilities could be inexperienced at complying with federal privacy regulations. It might take fines and penalties for health care contractors to familiarize themselves with their new responsibilities.
"When you think about the stream of health contractors who touch health information, I think it's going to clarify who has what obligation," said Doug Pollack, chief marketing officer at ID Experts. "But my guess is that you're going to start seeing some very prominent enforcement action by OCR against business associates as a wake-up call." The OCR has historically declined to pursue fines and penalties against BAs responsible for data breaches because the regulations describing their liability were not clear, he said. BAs now are squarely in the crosshairs of regulators, however, and the OCR has indicated it is eager to pursue investigations against any entity responsible for lost PHI, he added.
Data ownership rules will prove thorny
One rule included in the updated HIPAA regulations indicates that patients who pay cash for medical services, thereby bypassing third-party payers, have greater rights to limit the use of data created by their physician than do patients who pay through an insurance provider. Ali Pabrai, CEO and co-founder of information security company ecfirst Inc., said practices could have difficulty complying with this provision, due to technical limitations.
The problem is that few electronic health record (EHR) systems have the capability to differentiate between data sets on the basis of payment type. Vendors will have to re-engineer systems to give patients who pay in cash better controls on their data. "I think that's an area that EHR vendors would have to go back and see if their products provide the kind of functionality so that their customers would be able to limit access," Pabrai said.
Pabrai doesn't expect vendors to jump on this issue immediately, however. He pointed out that vendors were slow to offer physicians functionality that was mandated by the meaningful use program, such as robust security features. It was only when physicians started demanding these features that vendors added them.
Industry remains divided on HIPAA regulations' impact
Ultimately, the privacy and security professionals interviewed for this article were divided on whether the new HIPAA regulations will primarily be a burden to the industry or will simplify areas that lacked clarity.
Lisa Sotto, head of the global privacy and data security practice at the law firm Hunton and Williams, said the fact that covered entities will likely have to renegotiate BA agreements, combined with the sheer length of the document, makes the HIPAA omnibus something that many organizations will have difficulty complying with on time. "This is going to be a bit of a bear for these entities," she said. "We were all sitting here puzzled at why it hadn't been released, but now that it has, it is monstrous at 563 pages and is a huge amount to wade through."
On the other hand, ID Experts' Pollack sees the rules as eliminating ambiguity. This will make it easier for organizations to develop policies that they know comply with existing regulations and will continue to comply into the future. "Organizations in the past might have been trying to do the right thing and still got a negative outcome," he said. "Now it makes it much clearer what the right thing is, and most organizations will find that it is a little more of a documentation burden, but it's the same documentation burden since the HITECH Act was passed."

At the Marina at Pier 57, Christie® M-Series HD projectors are helping visitors "travel" through New York City by creating a multi-sensory experience for The Interactive New York (T.I.N.Y) exhibition, an interactive multimedia art installation by video artist Garson Yu. The exhibit is inspired by New York City as a living organism, and will let visitors interact with video and sound reminiscent of traveling in the city.
The interim art space, created at the entryway to Pier 57, features a "magic carpet" sculptural installation of 36 hanging shipping containers designed by Madrid-based architecture firm CH+QS Arquitectos. Eight Christie HD10K-M 1080 HD 3-chip DLP® projectors create a special interactive experience within the space, projecting moving images onto the containers of everyday life in New York, including subway scenes and scenes of childhood memories. Displayed in brilliant HD and using the projectors' embedded warping, blending and color matching capabilities, the images help to simulate a virtual subway train – with visitors traveling from end to end, passing through the containers as one would walk through the different cars of the train. There is an ambient audio track built around the rhythmic rumble of a subway train and layered with city sounds. Walking further into the installation, visitors become participants, and are encouraged to yell and make different vocal sounds into microphones that trigger motion of the visuals.

Reverse Mortgage loans give seniors the ability to live in their home, with no monthly mortgage payments¹, by converting home equity into cash while still maintaining ownership!
Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs), also known as reverse mortgage loans, were created over 25 years ago to help homeowners age 62 and older convert a portion of home equity into tax-free money.³
How does it work?
A reverse mortgage loan allows you to turn some of the equity in your home into cash to improve your financial situation. With a reverse mortgage loan, you will remain on title and can stay in your home without making monthly mortgage payments during the loan period.¹The borrower will be required to pay for property taxes, home insurance and home maintenance .The loan balance becomes due upon the occurrence of other events including non-compliance with the loan terms.
This federally-insured loan offers multiple ways to receive the proceeds and gives you the ability to spend the cash as needed. Common uses of Reverse Mortgage loans include:
- Paying off debt
- Cover costly medical bills and prescriptions
- Home repairs and modifications
- Delay Social Security benefits²
- …and much more!
Important features of a reverse mortgage loan include:
- Proceeds from a Reverse Mortgage loan are tax-free³.
- There are multiple ways to receive the loan proceeds, either as a line of credit, a term payment, a tenure payment or lump sum.
- Live in your home with no monthly mortgage payments¹.
Qualifications include:
- The borrower must be 62 years or older (a non-borrowing spouse may be under age 62)
- The home must be and remain the borrower's primary residence
- The borrower must own the home
- The borrower must meet the financial requirements of the HECM program

Two 5ins x 5ins cards today using Impex Crafts wooden embellishments. I have so many embellishments some bought on a whim because they were a bargain …. so I have put one drawer from my cupboard by my craft desk and I really, really am trying to work my way through it …..
When I looked at the set of embellishments I realised that only the baby and booties could carry a card on their own ……
….. so I made tags with the bib and the heart and put them as a bonus in with the cards in their display bags.
I now just have to work out what to do with the bottle!!

Day 2
Day two concentrated on using
W.I,F.F.L.E in an interview situation, setting up and using professional
equipment. The theory of lighting was explained and the students learnt
how to set up lights, attach tie pin microphones and the techniques
used to get a good interview. Each student took turns with all the different jobs such as camera, sound, lighting and interviewer. One student acted as the interviewee to help with framing and sound. To focus the camera it was necessary to zoom in very close and then frame the shot allowing for nose room. This is having the camera at an angle and keep space to one side, not shooting straight on. The lighting had to balance the light from the window to eliminate shadows. During the soundcheck the audio levels were checked by asking the interviewee to count to ten in their normal voice after the tie pin microphone was attached. Later interviewing techniques were discussed including using open questions. Maintaining interested eye contact (not staring), and allowing the interviewee to finish their sentences.

Our lasagna is made in the traditional way using sheets of spinach pasta, with layers of our Bolognese sauce (pork ragu) and creamy Bechamel topped with hand grated Parmigiano.
Cooking instructions:
Fresh: Remove cover and bake 375 degrees for about an hour and a half
Frozen: Remove cover and bake 375 degrees for about 4 and a half hours
If you have a frozen lasagna and want to defrost over night, I recommend putting it on a tray in the refrigerator. (While defrosting it does lose some water)

Looking through old family photographs, it recently dawned on me that not only do I look more like my mother everyday, but that I have also inherited her pragmatic and minimalist style of dress. She will laugh when she reads this because she doesn't consider herself as stylish at all and is certainly not very confident about it—at least not anymore.
It was different when she was a young woman and newly arrived in this country in the 1950s. Leaving a difficult war-torn childhood behind, she was embarking on a new life full of promise. She met her husband to be — my father— married him and together they bought a house and started a family. They had very little money, but she knew how to use it well to achieve their ambitions of making a better life for their children. And a large part of that was to assimilate. Outwardly, that began with how she dressed.
Senior Style: A Few Good Pieces
It was my mother who taught me the value of amortizing a few good items in your closet in contrast to the waste of buying an "outfit" for every occasion. I remember shopping trips to Lord & Taylor — our local upscale department store in West Hartford, Connecticut — where I would beg for things like the latest pink frilly party dress. And she would direct me to the sale rack and pick out the plain dresses with simple cuts. There was one A-line gray and white knit dress that I remember wearing to everything. It reminded me of upholstery and I thought it was horrid. But now I find it difficult to resist a classic A-line because of its versatility. My mother would say she was just practical in her frugality. Others would have described her as elegant in her simplicity.
She would direct me to the sale rack and pick out the plain dresses with simple cuts.
As she approached her fifties, my mother started to change the way she dressed, and she no longer seemed interested in style. Now that I have lived through my own changing body and suffered through the accompanying altered image of myself, I understand why she just wanted to be comfortable, and with the tuition demands of four children in private schools and college, her frugality took precedence over style. Thus the downward spiral began, and she began to lose confidence in her appearance. Her sartorial solution was to live in hand me downs from my brothers — more specifically, their old t-shirts and sweatpants. One of my brothers was a coxswain through high school and college. Wearing his competitors' branded university t-shirts, she dressed like she might have been the rower in the family.
Senior Style: Forgetting Her Own Rules
Paying their last tuition bill in the mid-'90s coincided with the beginning of globalization. Clothes cost less, and my parents had more disposable income. My mother began to shed her comfort clothes for a new wardrobe. With few budget constraints and no longer confident about her image, she'd forgotten her own rules. She began to buy too much because she could. But she still never knew what to wear.
I realized that our roles had reversed: I was the one steering her toward buying well and less. Now suffering with irritable bowel syndrome, she has become even less sure about herself. Like all of us, if you don't feel physically strong, you often don't feel mentally strong, either. She would wait for my visits from London to L.A. to help her cull through her closet and put outfits together.
We laid the clothes on the bed and collaborated on styling the outfits.
On my last visit, we decided to create a look book with the clothes in her closet. A talented photographer and stylist friend of mine had given me the idea when she told me that before packing for a trip, she takes snapshots of herself in outfits she is considering wearing and then edits by scrolling. My tech-savvy mother — she has made many genius friends at her local Apple store — embraced this idea with enthusiasm.
We laid the clothes on the bed and collaborated on styling the outfits. My mother then started to try them on and model them down the runway of her hall. If we thought the outfits worked, I took a photograph. We mixed and matched and through our laughter, we edited as well. By the end of the afternoon, we had come up with about ten outfits that she could wear to casual or formal events. We also managed to create a large pile of clothes to give away. At the end of the session, she said, "This is great. You've given me outfits that I know will work." I'd like to think that I gave her some of her confidence and style back.

If Nautical Nonsense be Something You Wish, then head to Broadway for Spongebob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical!
By Tahlia Campbell
18 years after the porous yellow sponge first appeared on TV screens, Spongebob Squarepants is coming to Broadway in burst of nostalgia and talent. To bring the much-loved cartoon to life on stage, the creative team has brought in a multitude of big names to make the soundtrack pop with stellar numbers.
The book, written by Kyle Jarrow, is written exactly as an episode of the cartoon would be. The musical is a new adventure for Spongebob and friends, but it stays true to the source material in so many wonderful ways, making it a real treat for the millions of people who have grown up with the show near and dear to their hearts.
In the musical, a volcano threatens to destroy Bikini Bottom, and it's up to Spongebob and his friends to stop it. The cast is made up of the characters we all know and love, as well as some new ones. The wacky sea-creatures get up to their old antics in this action-packed stage show, giving the audience plenty of easter eggs and in-jokes that will keep them laughing from the overture to the bows.
This musical is a joyous flashback for anyone who was a child of the 90's. Familiar characters like Old Man Jenkins, Mrs Puff, Larry the Lobster and Patchy the Pirate make appearances alongside the main cast, and all of the character's signature quirks are consistent, making it feel tailor-made to take the audience back to a more care-free time.
Costume designer David Zinn took care to make sure that the characters looked as cartoony on stage as the do on screen. The costumes capture the essence of the character in a delightfully creative way. Squidward has an extra pair of legs attached, facing the 90 degrees to his real legs to create his signature walk. Mr Krabs' claws are created with big red boxing gloves, and Pearl is given extra height with her clunky platform shoes and voluminous hair.
Plankton and Karen, the show's villains, are given especially creative costumes. While Plankton's actor, Wesley Taylor, wears a slick green suit and an eyepatch, the other actors interact with a finger puppet modeled after the cartoon version of Plankton. Karen is Plankton's computer wife, so on top of giving Stephanie Hsu a futuristic metallic outfit and a swish purple hairdo, she also has a prop computer with a bleeping screen to make her character shine. The use of puppetry in this show is an effective solution to characters that would be hard for actors to play otherwise.
Sound is also used to bring the cartoon into reality. The actors work with sound director (TK) to perfectly time sound effects, like squeaking of Spongebobs shoes every time he walks, the action-packed sound of a karate-chop, or the collection of random sounds like a screeching cat, and drum cymbals to signify a crash.
Adding to the auditory component of the show is the actors' voices, many of which are uncanny in how much they sound like their characters. Ethan Slater has mastered Spongebob's cheerful falsetto voice as well as his characteristic snore and laugh, embodying the ambitiously optimistic protagonist with endearing amount of goofiness and youthful energy. Gavin Lee encapsulates Squidward's sarcastic pessimism with his monotonous, nasally voice.
Bringing vibrancy the the musical of Spongebob is a long list of A-list musicians who helped write songs for the soundtrack. Among these artists are Cyndi Lauper, Steven Tyler & Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Lady Antebellum, John Legend, Panic! At The Disco, The Plain White T's, the original voice of Spongebob, Tom Kenny, and the late David Bowie.
Though the songs are written by a colorful variety of artists, the soundtrack fits together in a bright and energetic mixture of pop, metal, show tunes, and hip hop. No Control, the show's sinister end-of-the-world number, is a reworking of a song by the same name by David Bowie and Brian Eno. Plain White T's BFF is an upbeat and peppy anthem to friendship, and They Might Be Giant's I'm Not a Loser is a typical flashy show tune complete with tap-dancing and sequins.
No expenses were spared on set design and props - visually, the show is a kaleidoscope of shapes and colors that shift and blend between scenes to bring the rich world of Bikini Bottom to life. The deep sea-blue backdrop is offset by vibrant magenta in the form of floating umbrellas that represent jellyfish. Stacked-up boxes that shift and move across the stage with the help of the ensemble create a volcano for Spongebob and Sandy to climb.
As much as Spongebob follows the cartoon, there's a surprising amount of heart in the musical. The show takes a turn into the sincere during (I Guess I) Miss You, a ballad between Spongebob and Patrick that gives the actors a chance to let their voices shine in a more serious scene. It's hard not to be affected by the messages of friendship and hope that resonate so strongly through the musical, and you wouldn't be blamed for getting a little teary-eyed.
At the core of the Spongebob Musical is the human nature that resides in all of the characters. Director Tina Landau wanted to ensure that the actors were playing people, rather than 2-dimensional characters. The show caters to fans of the cartoon who want to see their favorite characters onstage, but then it builds upon those characters to give them very human ambitions and dreams.
On the surface, it's a fun and wacky adventure, but there is also some deeper commentary on human nature. It shows the way people can change under pressure and how easy it is to take the easy way out, but it also reminds its audience how important it is to stay optimistic and see the best in life, even when the world is falling apart. Maybe it's strange that a musical about a cartoon sponge has cultural relevance, but it could be just what the world needs.

South Africa is endowed with abundant renewable resources in the form of solar and wind energy. The Government's White Paper on Renewable Energy Policy, released in 2003, supports the development of alternative energy systems with an ambitious target of generating 10,000GWh green electricity by 2013.
The growing climate change concerns related to burning fossil fuels is also providing an impetus to renewable energy initiatives in South Africa. Not surprisingly, Eskom is financing 100MW solar and 100MW wind energy projects to jumpstart the renewable energy market in South Africa. Cleantech investments soared to more than US$ 13 billion in 2017, a welcome sign for fast-paced developments in South African clean energy sector.
The renewable resource with the greatest potential in South Africa is solar energy. The total area of high radiation in South Africa amounts to approximately 194,000 km2, including the Northern Cape, one of the best solar resource areas in the world, as proved by Eskom's initiative to build 100MW CSP Power Project in Upington. South Africa has average daily solar radiation of between 4.5 and 6.5 kWh per m2. Solar thermal heating is the predominant mode of solar energy utilization in South Africa.
The high level of solar radiation enables solar water heating technology to be the least-cost means of meeting the national renewable energy target. The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is embarking on an ambitious programme to roll out 60,000 systems while the City of Cape Town is pioneering a solar water heating by-law to support its strategy to achieve 10 percent penetration of private homes by 2010 and 10 percent of city owned buildings by 2012. Eskom is offering capital subsidies in order to reduce electricity demand by incorporating solar hot water into its demand-side management program in and has planned one million new systems by the end of 2012.
Eskom is building a 100MW concentrated solar (CSP) power project in Upington (Northern Cape) with financial assistance from the World Bank. The Clinton Climate Initiative is partnering with the Department of Energy to set up a solar park in the Northern Cape, which will add 5GW to South Africa's electricity generation.
Siemens is also currently conducting a feasibility study on a possible 210 MW CSP plant in the Northern Cape to possibly come online by 2014 and the Industrial Development Corporation is also investigating a CSP demonstration plan. To sum up, there are about 600 MW of CSP projects in different stages of development, with 75 percent of these able to deploy by 2013. In addition, Eskom is constructing a 1,350 MW pumped storage facility to be operational by 2013. The introduction of Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariff (REFIT) has generated good interest among Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to develop renewable energy projects in South Africa.

"Fighting scrapers and hackers is a cold war so we need to be able to leverage accurate, real-time threat intelligence. The alliance of Distil-protected sites constitutes a highly effective nexus of knowledge and power to defeat our shared enemy--malicious bots."
-- Ivan Bercovich, Vice President of Engineering, Graphiq
Graphiq is a technology company focused on collecting and interpreting data. For consumers, Graphiq operates over a dozen trusted datadriven research websites, spanning consumer products to personal finance and real estate to sports statistics. For online content creators, the company offers several solutions for improving audience engagement with embeddable, interactive data visuals.
Graphiq operates one of the largest websites on the Internet in terms of the number of pages and amount of data hosted. They are constantly targeted by scrapers, bots and botnets who try to steal their valuable data. Graphiq aims to provide data and tools to its legitimate users and block out nefarious actors and 'copycats'.
- Scrapers stole data from hundreds of millions of pages and built duplicate sites
- Random spikes in bot traffic impacted performance and increased infrastructure costs
- Fighting bots was resourceintensive and took Engineering away from product development
- Homegrown solution caused falsepositives, damaging the user experience; manually un-blocking legitimate traffic was timeconsuming
Distil Appliance
- Blocked scrapers and gave Engineering tools to monitor suspicious activity
- Immediately eliminated spikes in traffic and improved performance
- Outsourced the bot problem, allowing Engineering to focus on product development
- Significantly improved the user experience

Hot Gin & Cold Nuts
Sometimes, living in Tasmania feels like getting cropped out of a photo. We're that friend who is perpetually never ready for the flash. We're the state Sunrise forgets when discussing economics and the rise and fall of house prices. Just a heads up, Kochie – you can buy a house for under $150k in Australia. Sure, it's shit, but it's a house and it's in Australia. Sort of.
Despite being the last kid picked for the sports team, tourists are en route to Tassie in droves right now, as the whole of Hobart is transforming into a literal red light district for the MoFo of all festivals that kicks off this week.
We see your Earthcore, Victoria and raise / out-weird you our Dark Mofo. Basically, it's like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet throws up all over Princes Wharf 1, add in a bunch of epic eats and booze, light shit on fire and dance around it while exploring links between ancient and contemporary mythology and Solstice rituals from many winters ago.
I'm not doing the best job of selling it here, so Hobart's resident Dark MoFo expert Simon is going to take the reins after everything has commenced and do a full run-down on the weird, wonderful and wacky goings on throughout the festival with much wit, hilarity and heinous hangovers, as he has bought tickets to just about every event, and I only have tickets to the free things. He even has the balls to do the Nude Solstice Swim at the end of the festival. And I know he does, we all saw them in high definition on WIN News when he stripped off for it last year.
I asked him to give me a little spiel on how his experience and love of the festival makes him the perfect unofficial spokesperson, and he said, "Can I do it when I get home? I'm eating noodles at the laundromat."
Not wanting to come between a man and his noods, I said sure, but, now that he's home, I'll let his self-marketing skills shine:
"Despite my best attempts to get on the MONA payroll, once again I take up my role as official unofficial Dark Mofo ambassador. 2017 promises to be as big, as dark, as fun, and as naked as every other year; this year however, I'll be sharing the craziness with you, dear reader, on Kate's blog. So join me as I share the experience of the best time of the year to be in Hobart – and help me justify what will be an accumulated credit card debt that's sure to rival the GDP of a small nation. Perhaps, if I do well, David Walsh will bail me out…"
I have friends visiting over the coming weeks because as our Lord Mayor old mate Hickey says, "Dark MoFo has reached "unmissable" status for visitors and locals alike, with people returning year after year for a mid-winter experience that is unlike anything else in the country." Two of the visiting friends have experienced Dark MoFo before – last time, we planted ourselves outside the stall serving Hot Toddys and drank until thermal clothing was no longer necessary. Speaking of, anyone know how we got home that night?
So, dress warm, strap in and strip off, and hopefully we will catch many of you along the short walk from Dark Park to the Winter Feast, stopping to sip a hot gin in our Tassie Tuxedos. Over to you, Simon. Send noods.

Better day today
My husband slept well and has his 3 daughters with him. They've been hugging and crying together, as well as praying together. He's had friends visit also. He's eating better today and feeling more cheerful. The girls just have a hard time dealing with their daddy's illness. I'm glad they are here.

- Info
How These Great Seed Products Work
Seedsticks come in a small booklet, similar to a matchbook. There are multiple sticks within the booklet which can be torn off and used to grow a plant. At the end of each stick is a seed, and the stick can be inserted into the soil to start the plant.
The sticks are made with recycled boards and biodegradable glue, so that they don't cause harm to the environment. They are an easy way to plant a seed, and your customers will love the unique gift that they receive.
The Seedsticks are secure within the package in order to protect the seeds, using a patented tab technique. The way the sticks are designed helps to ensure that the plant will grow, because it will come in contact with the soil when it is inserted into the ground. Each stick has a line to show the correct planting depth, so that you can easily see how deep the seed should be pushed into the soil.
The biodegradable glue won't interfere with the growth of the plant, because the seed can easily separate from the stick when it is in the soil. This process allows the seed to successfully germinate, so that the plant can begin to grow.
Customising Our Seed Stick Range
When you order Seedsticks, the packages can be customised to match your company logo and message. You might put the company logo on the outside of the package, along with a tagline about planting a seed, growing a business, or any other fun tagline to match the message that you want to share.
Seedsticks aren't limited to business use, because there are many ways that they can be used for personal gifts as well. For example, you might consider passing them out as party gifts at your birthday party, or they are great gifts to give to guests at a wedding. If you are using them at a wedding, you can add a custom thank you message from the bride and groom.
Because the packaging can be custom printed to match your requirements, the marketing possibilities are endless. You can choose the colour and design for the packaging, and we will make sure that the design matches your requirements.
Here at Dynamic Gift, we are dedicated to make sure that each customer is happy with their order. We offer a variety of promotional products that can be customised to market your business, and we would love to help you find the perfect promotional item for your needs. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us any time!
