A Febuary 4, 1900 "The Boston Globe" article describes the production of palm leaf baskets in Deerfield, Massachusetts': "And last but not least one must mention the revival of the old palm leaf industry, which is an interesting feature of old Deerfield life just now. The women who have taken up this work are largely those who used to braid years ago the palm leaf hats then in fashion. The gradual disappearance of those hats destroyed that industry, but there has now sprung up a demand for pretty little baskets of this light and delicate material. A fine grade of palm leaf is used, but experiments are being made with a coarser type. It is of a very light straw color and makes a very pretty basket. They are made into various shapes and sizes and when lined with soft silk are frequently converted into sewing baskets."

Cops have launched an investigation into what looks like Justin Bieber getting a police escort in the Miami area ... because it wasn't authorized by the brass, TMZ has learned.
Monday night when Justin's private jet touched down in South FL ... a fan posted a video, claiming it was Justin and co. driving away from the airstrip surrounded by 2 Opa-Locka PD cruisers -- one in front and one behind Justin's group.
TMZ contacted police about the escort, and we were told "usage of the vehicles was unauthorized by the Chief."
We're told they will be looking closely into what the police cars were doing at the airport.

In case you missed the first webinar: What's the Chemical Footprint of Plastics? Plastics Scorecard v1.0
September 15, 2014 Ann Blake & Mark Rossi BizNGO Events Webinars & Videos
Would you like to:
- Understand the deep connections between fossil fuels, chemicals, and plastics?
- Know how to measure Progress to Safer Chemicals in Polymer Manufacturing?
- Know how to measure the Chemical Footprint of a Plastic Product?
The goals of the Plastics Scorecard are to inform the selection of safer plastics by businesses and catalyze manufacturers to reduce the number and volume of CoHCs in manufacturing processes and products. If successful the Plastics Scorecard will advance the development and use of plastics that use inherently safer chemicals in all steps of polymer production as well as in the selection of additives. But first of course you must ask, "Is it necessary?"
--Ann Blake is an independent consultant working with governments, occupational health, public health and environmental advocates to find viable alternatives to toxic chemicals in manufacturing and consumer products. Dr. Blake's work covers toxics reduction strategies from product content screening and environmentally preferable purchasing to drafting local, national and international legislation and chemicals policies. Dr. Blake brings over 20 years of experience in chemicals in products in over a dozen sectors. She is a thought leader in chemicals policy reform and a strategic thinker in efforts to create a just and sustainable global economy.
--Mark Rossi, Co-Director of Clean Production Action and Chair of BizNGO. Mark is a collaborative developer of innovative programs, tools and initiatives for integrating sustainable materials and safer chemicals into the economy. In 2006, he founded BizNGO, a unique collaboration of business and environmental leaders who work together in advancing safer chemicals and sustainable materials. Mark is also the co-author of the GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals, the leading hazard assessment tool for benchmarking chemicals based on inherent hazard.

It is possible that the main title of the report Berylliosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Berylliosis is a form of metal poisoning caused by inhalation of beryllium dusts, vapors, or its compounds or implantation of the substance in the skin. The toxic effects of beryllium most commonly occur due to occupational exposure. Beryllium is a metallic element used in many industries, including electronics, high-technology ceramics, metals extraction, and dental alloy preparation.
There are two forms of beryllium-induced lung disease, acute and chronic. Acute berylliosis has a sudden, rapid onset and is characterized by severe inflammation of the lungs (pneumonitis), coughing, increasing breathlessness (dyspnea), and other associated symptoms and findings. In addition, in some individuals, the skin or the eyes may be affected. The more common, chronic form of the disease develops more slowly and, in some cases, may not become apparent for many years after initial beryllium exposure. Chronic berylliosis is characterized by the abnormal formation of inflammatory masses or nodules (granulomas) within certain tissues and organs and widespread scarring and thickening of deep lung tissues (interstitial pulmonary fibrosis). Although granuloma development primarily affects the lungs, it may also occur within other bodily tissues and organs, such as the skin and underlying (subcutaneous) tissues or the liver. In individuals with chronic berylliosis, associated symptoms and findings often include dry coughing, fatigue, weight loss, chest pain, and increasing shortness of breath.

Discussions continue on recreation center
by Janet Schultz
Tuesday night, the Lewiston Porter Board of Education received the proposal for phase two of the capital project from Steve DiMatteo, of Gordon W. Jones Associates Architects.
The proposed $26 million project includes putting an addition on to the high school that will house a new eight-lane swimming pool, and putting a small addition to the entry way of the auditorium area to serve as the main entrance for the high school.
"Security is the main reason for the reconfiguration of the auditorium area," said Superintendent Christopher Roser.
The main offices of the high school would move to that area, providing a more secure entrance for students and visitors to the campus. It will also provide for refurbishing and upgrading of the auditorium area including the music and choral areas, along with a new orchestra room and upgrades to the audio-visual and public address systems.
The move of the main office will allow for the relocation of two science rooms on the first floor to the math and science wing on the third floor.
There will also be a reconfiguration of the bus drop-off area and parking for the high school staff, which would also serve as parking for the athletic fields and events in the auditorium.
Many of the items in the proposal will not be as visible as new additions since the work includes upgrades to electrical and plumbing systems, new doors and windows.
Roser explained to the board that there would be no increase in the tax levy for this project with funding coming through the state.
In an update on the recreation center proposed by the Town of Lewiston, Roser told reporters that the negotiations are still going on and he feels they are on track.
"We are required by law to sell the property to the town at fair market value," he continued. "By law we cannot give it to them."
The property is worth $9,000 per acre on the high end and $2,500 per acre on the low end. Roser and the board chair Jodee Riordan feel that the $5,000-per-acre asking price is fair, but still negotiable.
The other issue that was raised in a recent meeting was Lewiston-Porter's use of the building.
"We are addressing that," Riordan said. "Our athletic director is putting together a list of events, times, etc., that should answer any questions the Town Board may have."
"We are doing our due diligence according to the law," said Roser. "We want the community to know that we are working with them and not trying to do anything that would stop the project from happening."
"It's a good move on both parts," Roser said.
"We think that the front of the school is a great place for the building," concluded Riordan.
In other board business, a donation of $8,450 from the boys and girls track and field teams was received and will be used for the purchase of track and field equipment and new uniforms.
Upcoming are budget workshops on March 5, 12 and 26 and April 9. A "Meet the Candidates Night" will be held May 8 followed by a budget hearing on May 14. The annual district budget vote and election of board members will be held May 21.

One of the reasons I like playing battlegrounds so much is the casual nature of queuing for them. I can go about my dailies while waiting for an invitation to pop, letting Blizzard do the work of putting a team of like-minded people together. I don't have to go assemble a crack team of 39 of my close friends to go freeze their buns off in the Alterac mountains, and then herd them all up to an island off the coast of Northrend. Instead, I get to check off some options and, if I think I've got 20 minutes to spare when the invitation comes, click "Yes, I would like to engage in mortal combat with other players please." Or something like that.
It's hard to imagine not having a battleground queue now. It is so easy, so convenient, that the idea of having to actually go to the battleground in question is strange and antiquated. I still get lost on my way to the WSG portal!
Battleground queues really help make BGs accessible to anyone who wants to try them out. And while I lament the loss of the pre-Wintergrasp party that queuing brought to that battleground, overall I think it's a great strength of the system.
So, it's not hard to imagine that a similar change is in store towards dungeon portals with the release of 3.3's LFG tool.
I ran Deadmines last night using it, and it was a totally surreal experience. I got to the first boss before I realized we were actually in the instance – I somehow thought we were still pulling trash on the way into the cave! That run from Moonbrook to the portal is so ingrained that even with all available evidence, like, oh, standing in front of the portal and buffing, I was still surprised to see that big silly orge standing there.
(I also ran H UK as a guild random dungeon and thought I was going to UP until I zoned in.)
I made the run to the Warsong Gulch portal today on my level 19 twink, and it's a long, long journey through a zone that can kill you a lot. It goes without saying that I wouldn't do that run a lot to go PvP, but it is interesting that people have been doing exactly that to run instances. Someone in the party had to get to the Summoning Stone, after all.
The convenience of running instances suddenly opens up a new leveling strategy – run random dungeons and battlegrounds instead of questing. I have known a lot of people who swear by instance leveling, and in most cases the loot is the best you can get. Combining this with some battlegrounds gives you variety without sacrificing loot or money.
Admittedly, you won't get many flight points this way.
But you will have a lot of fun.

What Do You Think?
I do remember how Elizabeth and Ron took photos of the marquetry that were hanging in the house in Tumwater, but those aren't available to all, plus there are pieces each of us have that were not included in that portfolio.
As Nate and I talked about this possibility, I started to wonder if this might, potentially, offer a way for communication with some people out in the big wide world who also have some of Dad's work, to comment, or indicate what they have. This would perhaps be a monumental task. Does it fit on the blog? Would Dwight need to start another blog (Penrose Mornings Part II) etc.
I just wanted to throw this out there for everyone to consider, comment on, etc.
Happy Monday!

How can we go wrong with a volunteer? What name should we give the blog?

I agree - we would scan like crazy! This is an excellent idea! Thanks, Judy! We'll watch for further developments.

I think some of us have discussed this before. I think it's a good idea, but we may want to watermark and do explicit copyright stuff to protect it. Steve may have input here. Ideally, we would have photos of the pictures of sufficient quality and pixel count so those of us who don't have some of the pictures that were part of our lives for so long could make adequate color prints that could be matted and framed. Etc.

It is rather interesting for me to read that blog. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to this matter. I would like to read more soon.
- January 19, 2010 at 9:15 AM

Okay, Steve, tell us how to do this so that the pictures are protected. Now I know we have to get a new computer! Scanning those pictures will put this one out of joint.

There's only one way to play the game and that's all out, which is what Ike Davis has shown us during his three-week Mets career.
Last night marked the third time he's gone over the dugout railing to make a catch, this time it was a game-ender.
Said Davis: "It's not that far a drop. I'd rather end the game than worry about getting a bruise.''
More telling, is Davis said he'd make the same effort regardless of the score.
Was last night a breakout game for Jason Bay?
"I would like to say yes, but I can't stand here and tell you that everything is hunky dory,'' said Bay, who had three singles and a bases-loaded walk. "It's a feel thing, and I am starting to feel a lot better.''
Bay has been struggling all season, the first of a four-year, $66 million deal. He entered the game batting .248 and ended it at .263, but with still only one homer.
Luis Castillo is playing with an orthopedic wrap on his left foot to protect a bone bruise that has bothered him since spring training.
How much playing time Chris Carter gets remains to be seen, but for now it looks as if it will be as a pinch-hitter. With Jason Bay and Jeff Francoeur had productive games last night so they probably won't rest, but it is a day game today so you never can tell.
Carter delivered a RBI double last night in the Mets' six-run eighth inning. "It's a great feeling,'' Carter said. "It's really special. I definitely felt like part of the team right there.''

Government of India is hosting the Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC) 2010 from October 27-29, 2010 on the theme of 'Up-scaling and Mainstreaming Renewables for Energy
Security, Climate Change and Economic Development".
DIREC 2010 is the fourth in the series of global Ministerial-level Conferences on Renewable Energy, which follows from the initiative taken at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg, acknowledging the significance of renewable energy for sustainable development. DIREC 2010 is an international platform for government, private sector, and civil society leaders to
jointly address the goal of advancing renewable energy. It will build upon the success and outcomes of the previous events in Washington in 2008, Beijing in 2005 and Bonn in 2004.
Since the initiation of the first IREC in Bonn in
2004, this conference has achieved high-level
international participation of stakeholders from
policy, business, science and civil society. The
Bonn "Renewables2004" and the subsequent
conferences in Beijing (BIREC 2005) and
Washington (WIREC 2008) provided important
fora for the internastional discourse on renewable
energy. The Bonn 2004 conference yielded a political declaration as one of its outcomes...

NEW DELHI (CNN) — Police in eastern India have arrested the husband and parents-in-law of a young woman for allegedly burning her and her baby girl alive.
The primary motive behind January 30 the attack is suspected to be dowry-related, as alleged by the parents of the dead woman, Jharkhand state police superintendent N.K. Mishra said.
The three suspects poured kerosene on Annu Devi, 22, and the baby girl at their village home in the state's Dumka district and set them on fire, Mishra said.
The 1-year-old child died instantly, and the mother later succumbed to her injuries in a hospital, police said.
A court has sent the three suspects to jail to await trial, Mishra told CNN.
Asked whether the fact that Devi gave birth to a girl was also a motive, Mishra said: "That could be a factor. But it was mainly for dowry. Her family has said in their complaint she was harassed for money and other things."
Devi married three years ago, Mishra said.
Dowry is banned in India, but giving expensive "gifts" to the grooms and their relatives at weddings hosted by the brides' families remains a common practice in the country.
Police across India registered 8,233 murders of women as dowry deaths in 2012, according to national crime data.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's antagonists, chief among them the Palestinian Authority, routinely claim that Israel is trying to "Judaize" Jerusalem and even ethnically cleanse the city of all but its Jewish inhabitants.
The Jerusalem Municipality has provided another bit of evidence that such claims are nothing but vicious lies.
Early next week, the Jerusalem Municipality, in cooperation with the Jewish National Fund, will provide thousands of Christmas trees free of charge to the city's Christian residents.
The municipality is also coordinating with local residents and shop keepers to decorate the city in commemoration of the Christian holiday. "Our city is proud to be an open city, with freedom of religion for all residents," read a statement put out by city hall.

This post contain a couple of affiliate links. This comes at no extra cost to you but helps keep The Autism Cafe up and running. Thank you for your support!
Last updated September 2018.
When I started this blog, I had no idea I could make money from it. I just wanted to share Charlie's journey with people and help others who are going through the same struggles as us. After a few months, I started getting contacted by brands and blogging agencies and realized it was actually possible to make a living with my blog. I started filling out applications in hope of being accepted into influencer networks. These marketing agencies are basically middle men between influencers and brands looking to advertise.
A click-based agency. You get paid per click. I get offers from them a couple of times per month. Some of my blogger friends get offers from them every week. I've worked with brands like Cottonelle, Wente, Kleenex, Dove, Happy Family, and Sprout through them. Sign up here —
I was Linqia's influencer of the month in March 2018. Check out my interviews with them —>
How to create a professional Personal Brand
Great for beginners. It's Instagram and YouTube collaborations. Pay depends on your following and other factors too, and I got my first job within a week. I've worked with brands like Panera, Perrier, Yankee Candle, and Kit Kat through them. Since June 2018, they added a draft approval process and it's honestly been a bit of a pain in the butt. Their guidelines are getting more and more specific and my posts get denied half the time. Great if you're having a slow month and you need extra money. Sign up —> here
This is an awesome platform for beginner bloggers. Your rate depends on the number of followers you have on Instagram. I got three campaigns with them during my first week. Sign up here —>
Note: The rates are VERY low but you only have to leave your post up for 72 hours and most of the time the image is provided for you. Easy money. I don't use them anymore because of their rates but many of my friends do.
I love them! They have amazing opportunities for mommy bloggers. If you're a mom, you'll love that they work with brands like Disney, Enfamil, ErgoBaby, Huggies, Boon, and OXO. The campaign managers are super friendly and helpful. They're definitely in my top 3!
I wrote a blog post for them, sharing my photography tips —>
Another great agency who's gotten me work with brands like Pampers, Amazon, Tai Pei, Nabisco, and Purell. They have a lot of opportunities for parenting, lifestyle, and food bloggers. Their rates have been on the low side lately (about $300 for a blog post + social media amplification).
Sponsorships for everyone. Name-your-rate opportunities. Sign up here —> IZEA
This is the agency through which I used to get most of my jobs. I've worked with brands like Colgate, Clif, Nokia, V-tech, HEB, Maxi-Cosi, The UPS Store, VTech, Dove, and Stouffer's through them. The pay is fair and the campaign leaders are friendly and professional. One of my favorite agencies to work with.
I was Clever's influencer of the month in August 2018
Meet Clever's Influencer, Eileen Lamb
So many great brands on Social Fabric. Great for food bloggers too. I get about 4 campaigns a month on SoFab. The pay depends on your reach but they're definitely in my top 3 best agencies to work with as a blogger!
I'm new to this network. Looks promising though. Sign up —> HERE
Lots of offers. Great for food and fashion influencers. They have a variety of offers for fashion and food bloggers. Also great for mom influencers. They have a lot of name-your-rate campaigns. I don't get a lot of work with them but you might!
This is the agency through which I got my first job with Carter's, and I'm attached to them for that reason. They send a newsletter with offers once a month. I also worked on three campaigns with Oshkosh. The pay is always fair and prompt, the campaign leaders are friendly. I love them!
For bloggers who have over 20,000 views per month on their blog. Limited opportunities but worth joining. I worked on a campaign with Pop Secret.
I love Obvious.ly. It's very straightforward. Collabs mostly consist of 1 Instagram post in exchange for a product. They work with brands like Google and Sephora. You also have the opportunity to earn money after completing several campaigns.
Their rates are usually fair. They email you when a campaign matches your brand. Lots of different brands. I've worked on a campaign with Aveeno through them.
Great for mom-bloggers and lifestyle bloggers alike.
Download the app on your phone. They have a lot of opportunities and they're all name-your-rate. I've had good and bad experiences with them. You usually need to submit three photos and the brand decides which one you post on social media.
I've worked on two campaigns with Pampers through them. They email you when they find a campaign that matches your profile.
Many awesome brands here. Product collaborations and sponsored posts. I've worked with brands like Zevia, Hello Fresh, Displate, and Perfect Bar.

Their rates used to be awesome but I haven't gotten a job with them since February 2018 so I don't know what it's like now. Download the Takumi App on your phone.
There are other agencies for bloggers and influencers too like Intermix, Fresh Press Media, and MavenX, but I don't know much about them yet.

When it comes to monetization, I've tried it all.
I started with Adsense… but was let down by the low CPCs.
Then I promoted affiliate products… but I couldn't get the traffic to convert.
Then I tried CPA marketing… and quickly realized that it was THE best way to monetize.
(In fact, CPA helped one of my sites go from 0 to $10k/month in record time), so as a blogger I
suggest to join (maxbounty-mostCPA-peerfly) and choose YOUR niche, suitable offers and then start write some blogs about those offers. I guarantee that you reach out your money goals.

Caterham reveals CT05 after delay
The new Caterham CT05 finally broke cover at Jerez after a delayed launch due to a few early teething problems.
The Caterham left the garage at 15:10 on the first day of testing and features another different take on the new nose regulations. New driver Marcus Ericsson was at the wheel.
But the new nose design was criticised by Adrian Newey. "If you hit the back of a car square-on, you go underneath and you end up with a rear-crash structure in your face, a much worse scenario," he said.
The CT05 features a the team's standard green livery along with the unique nose and front wing. This year Ericsson is joined by Formula One returnee Kamui Kobayashi, who missed the 2013 season after losing his Sauber drive.

Solid Job Numbers Increase Fear of Fed Bond Action
The Labor Department's strong June employment report - the addition of 195,000 jobs - has improved the odds the Federal Reserve will begin to pull back on its $85 billion-per-month bond-buying program by the end of 2013. WSJ's Sudeep Reddy explains.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... the June employment report showed that the economy added hundred and ninety five thousand jobs ... over the course of the month that's hardly spectacular but it's good enough for the Federal Reserve ... to start pulling back on its bond buying later this year ... the report appears to keep the Fed on track ... to start reducing the pace of its bond purchases ... by the September meeting when the Fed will hold a press conference ... that the Fed chairman Ben burn Anqi of the last month has already indicated ... the Fed is moving toward that so you'll start to see bond buying come back a little bit at the September meeting ... and if the economy continues to improve ... the Fed could continue pulling back on those purchases over the course of the next year ... the Fed is said to thresholds of unemployment to watch as it pulls back on its bond buying the first is seven percent the unemployment rate is now seven point six percent ... and we will see it die if job gains continue unemployment drop closer to seven percent ... which the Fed thinks will come sometime in mid twenty fourteen ... the other number once the bond buying is done ... if the economy improves by mid twenty fourteen ... is to watch ... it the six point five percent unemployment rate that's the threshold the Fed has said ... for reaching before it even starts to raise its overall interest rate target ... so once we get closer to six point five percent you'll start to see expectations rise ... for an increase in ... its return interest rates ... and once we drop below six point five percent the Fed will probably be moving more more ... tea to raise interest rates ... the final target ... which is the Fed's ... long term goal for unemployment to five point two six percent when to get there you'll you'll certainly be seeing interest rates rise ... much ... higher than where they are now ... near zero ... for The Wall Street Journal and Sudeep Reddy in Washington ...

Triumph and disaster
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his wife, Patti, address the hoard of media in Dirksen U.S. Courthouse after the former governor was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Blagojevich began his remarks by quoting a line from a Rudyard Kipling poem: "If you can meet with triumph and disaster."

by Michaela Reitano, GFS Class of 2014
Last weekend, Germantown Friends School hosted "A Cappella Fest," the much-anticipated annual music festival showcasing close-harmony singing groups from local schools. A total of nine groups performed over two nights, each taking the stage to reveal the songs they had been working on since the beginning of the school year to a packed auditorium of family and friends.
At the Friday Preview concert, the roster included the GFS Middle School A Cappella, The Baldwin B-Flats, The University of Pennsylvania's Penn Pipers and GFS A Cappella, the only group to perform both nights. Highlights included the Baldwin B-Flats, who exhibited an impressive unity and stage presence on numbers like "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor and "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall, and the Penn Pipers, a male subset of the Penn Glee Club from the University of Pennsylvania, who performed many Barber Shop- and Doo-wop-style songs that showcased their amazing sound and command of the music. The show closed with GFS A Cappella, giving a preview of their Saturday night lineup.
Saturday's Festival — the main event — did not disappoint. The first group to perform was the Quakers Dozen from Penn Charter, which sang songs by a diverse group of artists, including "Esto Les Digo" by Kinley Lange and "It Don't Have to Change" by John Legend.
The Dozen did a complete 180 with their last number, "We Found Love" by Rihanna/Calvin Harris, which was a departure in tone from the beginning of their set. The song was cleverly staged, and the audience really enjoyed the high-tempo performance.
The Chamber Singers of SCH Academy (a combination of the Laurelai and the Hilltones) followed, performing together as well as separately. There was a sweet contrast between the low voices of the Hilltones and the higher voices of the Laurelai. Each group impressed the audience with their passionate sound.
GFS A Cappella came next, performing a variety of songs ranging from "I'll Be Waiting" by Adele to "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by CAKE to "Jai Ho" by A.R. Rahman. The group, which was just nominated for four Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (including Best High School Album for The Blue and White Album), had a high-powered, dynamic sound and great stage presence. The highlight of their set was a choreographed medley that featured "A History of Rejection" and "If I Had a Million Dollars" by the Barenaked Ladies, which morphed into "Can't Buy Me Love" by the Beatles.
After GFS A Cappella, Penn's Off the Beat took the stage and astonished the audience with their jaw-dropping dynamics and sheer ability. Each member impressed with his or her amazing voice.
The last act of the night was JD Walter, a phenomenal jazz singer who used special equipment to record himself live on stage and then used those recordings, which sounded like a live band playing behind him, to sing A Cappella. His performance left the crowd cheering and marked the end to yet another unbelievable A Cappella Fest.

1. Purpose
1.1. East Carolina University's Health Care Components ("ECU's Health Care Components") have a legal duty to protect the privacy of protected health information ("PHI"). Notice of this requirement, including certain rights of individuals regarding their health information maintained by ECU's Health Care Components, must be provided to each individual with whom a Direct Treatment Relationship exists. This Notice of Privacy Practices ("NPP") must also be clearly labeled and prominently displayed at all service delivery sites. The purpose of this regulation is to define how ECU's Health Care Components will implement this requirement.
2. Definitions
2.1. Direct Treatment Relationship means a treatment relationship between an individual and a health care provider in which the provider delivers health care services or products, or reports diagnoses or results from that health care, directly to that individual, under the provider's own orders and with no other provider intervening.
2.2. Indirect Treatment Relationship means a relationship between an individual and a health care provider in which:
2.2.1. The health care provider delivers health care service to the individual based on the orders of another provider; and
2.2.2. The health care provider typically provides services or products, or reports the diagnosis or results associated with the health care, directly to another health care provider, who provides the services or products or reports to the individual.
3. Regulation
3.1. It is the policy of East Carolina University to provide each individual, with whom a Direct Treatment Relationship exists or is established from interactions with ECU's Health Care Components, with its Notice of Privacy Practices at the first date of delivery of service or at any other time if requested by an individual. This notice shall adequately explain ECU's legal duties and certain rights associated with each individual's health information. This notice will be clearly labeled and prominently displayed in all delivery sites within ECU's Health Care Components. Additionally, an electronic version will be located on the privacy forms section of the ECU HIPAA Privacy website.
4. Exceptions
4.1. Emergency Situations.
ECU Health Care Components are not required to obtain written acknowledgement of receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices in emergency situations. However, as soon as reasonably practicable after the emergency situation, efforts should be made to obtain a written acknowledgement. If not obtained, the ECU Health Care Component must document, in the Component's medical record or appropriate systems, its good faith efforts to obtain such acknowledgement and the reasons why the acknowledgement was not obtained.
4.2. Health Care Services Provided Outside of ECU's Health Care Components. ECU Providers, including students, who provide professional health care services to other institutions at their physical facilities/locations, under contract or some other legally binding agreement, are not required to present ECU's Notice of Privacy Practices. In certain cases, there may still be a requirement that other ECU documents be obtained as a result of services provided.
5. Procedure
5.1. Provision of NPP.
Subject to the exceptions in section 4 of this regulation, all ECU Health Care Components shall provide individuals with whom a Direct Treatment Relationship exists with a NPP no later than the date of the first delivery of health care service including health care services delivered electronically.
5.1.1. Subject to paragraph 5.6.1, ECU Health Care Components are only required to provide the NPP and obtain the individual's written acknowledgement of receipt upon the individual's initial interaction with an ECU Health Care Component that will result in a direct treatment relationship being established.
5.2. Written Acknowledgement.
The individual or their legally accepted representative shall provide written acknowledgement of receipt of the NPP.
5.2.1. A copy will be provided to the individual and the original shall be maintained in the Component's medical record.
5.2.2. A good faith effort must be made to obtain a written acknowledgement of receipt of the NPP, and if not obtained, the ECU Health Care Component must document its good faith efforts to obtain such acknowledgement and the reason why the acknowledgement was not obtained in the medical record or appropriate system.
184.108.40.206. Examples of situations when a written acknowledgement may not be obtained may include: where the patient or legal representative either refuse to provide written acknowledgement or when a patient is not physically present, i.e., medical services provided over the telephone.
5.3. Documentation.
Each ECU Health Care Component should develop the appropriate tracking mechanism to ensure that acknowledgement of receipt is obtained in order to prevent repeated acknowledgment on subsequent interactions across multiple Components. If feasible, cross Component tracking should occur.
5.4. Requests.
Individuals may at any time request and obtain a copy of the NPP. Written acknowledgment is not required on such individual requests.
5.5. Posting of NPP.
ECU Health Care Components will prominently post the NPP within all their physical delivery sites where it is reasonable to expect that individuals could read the NPP.
5.6. Revision of NPP.
ECU Health Care Components will make the notice available upon request on or after the effective date of the revision and promptly comply with the requirements of paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5.
5.6.1. In certain circumstances, redistribution to all individuals may be necessary. The ECU HIPAA Privacy office will notify ECU Health Care Components when such redistribution is necessary.

Miasmata(Edited: )
Greenlit on Steam
Release date: November 28, 2012
What is it?
Miasmata is a first-person survival/adventure game, developed from the ground-up by brothers Joe and Bob Johnson. You play as Robert Hughes, a plague-stricken scientist on a journey to discover a cure. Your adventure begins on the shores of a remote island called Eden. Long ago, Eden was inhabited by a group of indigenous people, whose extant monuments still decorate the island landscape.
Eden is now home to a scientific research outpost, and it is your hope to reunite with your colleagues working there. Unfortunately, you'll soon discover that something has gone terribly wrong.
Miasmata is a game of survival, exploration and discovery. Our goal was to create gameplay that was unconventional. We wanted an immersive experience that gives the player the freedom to discover the world at his/her own pace and in his own way.
During his adventure, the player will encounter a mysterious and deadly creature. This creature can stalk the player for miles, lurking behind grasses and vegetative cover. By treading carefully and quietly, the player may be able to elude the creature. If he's careless, however, the player will be forced to confront the creature head-on.
The island of Eden is filled with dozens of plants and fungi, many of which have unique medicinal properties. Some of these plants hold the secret to curing the plague, so the player must harvest them and run lab experiments to determine their worth.
Exploration is a key component to Miasmata, so we developed an interesting cartography system. The player can use landmarks, such as ruins and statues, to triangulate his location and construct a map of Eden's boundaries and contours.
The graphics technology powering Miasmata is our MILO engine. MILO is a brand new engine and tool-chain, written from scratch by Joe himself. It is state of the art, featuring outstanding lighting/shader effects and innovative real-time simulations. Some of the unique features include: voxel-based volumetric clouds, advanced water reflection and refraction, volumetric lightshafts and atmospheric scattering simulations.
Miasmata's island of Eden is dense and beautifully detailed. Its landscape is covered by forests with lush canopies. The terrain surfaces are blanketed by tufts of moss and grass. The forest floors have thick undergrowth and are littered with fallen leaves, rotting logs, stumps and sticks.
The creature is governed by a deep artificial intelligence. He uses sight, hearing and smell to track the player and react to his movements. Our robust path-finding algorithms allow the creature to find advantageous positions and trap the player.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—The Black Forest Fire Rescue Protection District Board of Directors is asking an independent investigator to review how the state's most destructive wildfire was handled after El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa and Black Forest Fire Chief Bob Harvey got into a dispute over handling of the wildfire and the ongoing investigation.
Maketa has accused the fire chief of misrepresenting the department's response to the fire, which Harvey denied. Harvey accused the sheriff of refusing to cooperate with his fire investigators, impeding the investigation.
The Black Forest Fire started June 11. It killed two people, destroyed 486 homes and damaged 37 other homes in a residential area northeast of Colorado Springs. The fire charred 24 square miles.
The fire department board said Monday it wants an outside investigator to review official records and responding firefighters to rebut what it called "reports of seemingly unfounded accusations." The board also issued a statement backing the fire chief.
Maketa said the fire chief made some bad calls after the Black Forest wildfire was reported, refusing to call for outside help for two hours.
"Had we gotten the resources and had we gotten to jump on it as quickly as we would have liked to, we would have still lost homes, we would have still lost a lot of timber, but there is a belief that we wouldn't have seen the devastation that we witnessed," Maketa said as the dispute escalated last month. Harvey previously told KRDO the fire "appears intentional," but Maketa said while it was human caused, there's no evidence it was intentionally set.

Hello fellow yankee fans!
I've been reading this site for over 10 years, finally got around to making an account. Though I did have to wait about two weeks to get approved, so I missed out on the playoff game threads so far which is what I was really hoping to be able to post in. It's alright though, this is a great site with a ton of baseball knowledge being passed around.
This has been an amazing season, no matter what happens from here on out. I think we have a very good shot of taking one of the next two games, and a Yankee-Dodgers World Series will be huge.
Re: Hello fellow yankee fans!
Welcome to the site.
The game threads can be alot of fun. I didnt go in any of them until the playoffs this season.
I was reading here for probably 3 years before I made an account. Havent found a better sports site period.
Enjoy your stay"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
I love baseball in general and the Yankees just happen to be my favorite team since I knew what baseball was.

It is Mothering Sunday when mothers the land over should be spoiled and pampered....before returning to the more normal state of affairs tomorrow!
The CCM's favourite cake flavouring by far is coffee. When I looked back over my previous coffee bakes they have all been sponge and some sort of buttercream. Time for something a little different. But not that different as these are sponge too!
I added a chocolate ganache and put some of the coffee syrup into this to provide an extra coffee hit. My top tip for coating cakes in ganache is to place tin foil under the wrack so that, when you're clearing up, all you have to do is scrunch up the foil rather than scrub your work top clean.
Using brown sugar gave an interesting extra taste and it worked really well. Coffee is bitter and the brown sugar gave it an almost caramel-y toffee edge that sweetened it but left it unmistakably coffee.
Some more of the coffee syrup went into lightly whipped cream to serve alongside the cakes. When I create a coffee cake I really put coffee into it!
For the sponge:
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
4 tablespoons boiling water
180g soured cream
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
165g soft brown sugar
4 eggs
310g self raising flour
For the coffee syrup (this will make enough to brush over the cakes, use in the ganache and the whipped cream):
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
330g soft brown sugar
340ml water
For the chocolate ganache:
250g dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
300ml double cream (have extra on standby should it be needed to get the thickness you want)
3 tablespoons of the coffee syrup (recipe above)
Method- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/ fan oven 160˚C /350˚F/Gas mark 4.
- Have ready 12 mini loaf pans each one with a capacity of 250ml. You could use a cupcake pan but will probably get many more – 24 I should imagine. You can grease the tin but I didn't and my cakes turned out fine. Make a judgement on how 'non stick' you think your pans are!
- Start by making the cakes: dissolve the coffee into the hot water and stir until there are no lumps.
- Allow to cool, then stir in the soured cream. Put to one side.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until well combined and light. It won't go fluffy because the brown sugar is a heavy and granular sugar.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Fold in the flour in three batches, alternating with the soured cream coffee mixture.
- Spoon into the tins and level the surface.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Mine sank a little on removing from the oven but this had no effect on the lightness of the sponge.
- About 10 minutes before the cooking time is up make the coffee syrup: Place all the ingredients into a saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved – you can tell this by looking at the back of your spoon; no crystals? It's dissolved.
- Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
- Brush some coffee syrup over the straight-from-the-oven cakes. If you want a wet, rum baba style cake use most of the syrup. I didn't, so brushed each cake three times with some syrup barely using half.
- Leave the cakes to cool completely in their tins before turning out. At this point they will keep in an airtight container for three days.
- On the day of serving make the ganache: place the cream and coffee syrup into a saucepan over a medium heat and bring it just to the boil.
- Remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Use a whisk to ensure the chocolate melts.
- At this point you have a choice: continue whisking if you want a fluffy, thick whipped chocolate ganache. I wanted a thick but runny ganache to spoon over my cakes like a glaze so stopped whisking. If the ganache is too thick to run over the cakes whisk in a dash more cream.
- Spoon over the cakes and allow to run over the edges. My tip for avoiding lots of mess is place the cakes on a wire rack over a sheet of foil. Any drips will land on the foil and you can simply throw this away.
- Let set for 20 minutes or so before placing your chosen decoration on top.
- Serve with lightly whipped cream – add some of the coffee syrup to the cream if you wish.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Please check out our game, the developer of Jack Lumber asked me, as I walked through the indie booth.
My reply, because I was in a hurry: Can you pitch me the game in 10 seconds?
In fewer than 10 seconds, the developer told me that the game is about a man whose grandmother was murdered by a tree. It's a revenge story.
Sold, but I'd have to come back the next day.
We came back and he started playing. It... looked like a Fruit Ninja clone. And then it got interesting. Very interesting.
Bottom line: I really am sold. I think Jack Lumber (official site here) is a winner.

This is excellent although my fans likely won't want to sign up for yet another service like pinterest. But I'll do my best as i'm trying to reach Damond for my gear and apparel company "Datsusara" (dsgear.com …shopify store). I have been reaching out to Tim and I plan to attend the Shark Tank Los Angels casting call next week if needed, I will reach him somehow :)

For some reason our original pin isn't showing up on the Shopify board with all the pins and repins. Right now we have 166, hopefully this won't be an issue. When you click on the #shopify_contest hashtag, however, it will take you to all the pins tagged with that and you can see the original.

My product was never added to the official board even after I posted here and sent an email. That isn't something that makes Shopify look very good.

ALGIERS, Algeria – Islamic militants have told a Mauritanian news outlet that that 35 hostages were killed but seven are still alive after Algerian military helicopters strafed a gas complex deep in the Sahara.
The spokesman for the Masked Brigade, which claimed responsibility for the attack Wednesday on the Algerian gas plant, said Thursday the survivors included three Belgians, two Americans, a Briton and a Japanese citizen.
The information came from the Nouakchott Information Agency, which often carries reports from al-Qaida-linked extremist groups.
The militant spokesman said the kidnappers were attacked by Algerian helicopters as they tried to leave the complex.
Algeria's news agency, citing local police, said four foreign hostages were freed in the operation.
The Algerian government would not immediately comment and the Associated Press could not confirm the information independently.

Silver Taube Receives "Unsung Hero" Award for Victim Aid
Deborah Lohse
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 3, 2013 — The supervising attorney of the Workers' Rights Clinic at the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center at Santa Clara University School of Law has received the Unsung Hero Award from the Santa Clara County Victim Support Network.
Ruth Silver Taube, who is also a senior staff attorney at the Legal Aid Society's Employment Law Center in San Jose, received the award Oct. 2. The Victim Support Network is an association of victim service professionals who strive to enhance the quantity and quality of services for crime victims in Santa Clara County.
The organization cited Silver Taube's lifetime of protecting the rights of workers; her promotion of the expansion of civil legal remedies for human trafficking survivors; and her organization of a day-long human trafficking conference on criminal and civil litigation. The award also recognized her efforts to train communities including lesbian and gay workers, disabled people, Filipina domestic workers, and farmworkers on human trafficking laws that protect exploited workers in such communities.
During her tenure as supervising attorney of the Workers' Rights Clinic, Silver Taube has enabled low-income workers in the greater San José area to receive assistance and representation and has trained law students in employment law. The California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement recently partnered with Silver Taube and her students to conduct investigations of retaliation claims filed with that agency.
For her effectiveness in improving access to legal services for organizations and communities, she received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition Sept. 27, signed by Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, and was keynote speaker and honoree at the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Northern California's (VABANC) dinner. The Congressional certificate was presented "in recognition of outstanding and invaluable service to the community." VABANC honored Silver Taube for her work establishing the South Bay VABANC/KGACLC clinic for Vietnamese-speaking clients; for training and mentorship of Vietnamese-American law students, and for her supervision of a VABANC Law Foundation fellow in San Jose, sponsored by the Legal Aid Society's Employment Law Center.
Melissa Hagg, US Attorney for the Northern District of California and one of the speakers at the Unsung Heroes Awards event, noted that winners of this award "do not seek recognition or other forms of compensation; rather, they go home every day with the quiet satisfaction of knowing that they have made a difference, something truly wonderful in somebody's life."

Disney and YouTube's content deal is alive, which means that roughly 70 episodes from Disney Channel shows are now available for free viewing on YouTube. Fan favorites like Hannah Montana, That's So Raven and the Suite Life of Zach and Cody are all available in 23-minute long bursts on Disney's YouTube channel.
And while YouTube's move into Netflix and Hulu's turf is an important one for the company, it's glaringly obvious that the YouTube user interface is pretty terrible for TV shows. It's impossible to tell what the first Hannah Montana episode is, or how many episodes of any given show are available. Add in the fact that web shorts are mixed in with the good, long-form stuff, and you come to the conclusion that YouTube needs a serious UI makeover if they want to start offering more than just user-uploaded clips.

It is a theft of intellectual property and will not be tolerated, whether intentional or not.Student Honor Creed
As an MSU Student, I pledge not to lie, cheat, steal, or help anyone else do so."
As students at MSU, we recognize that any great society must be composed of empowered, responsible citizens. We also recognize universities play an important role in helping mold these responsible citizens. We believe students themselves play an important part in developing responsible citizenship by maintaining a community where integrity and honorable character are the norm, not the exception.
Thus, We, the Students of Midwestern State University, resolve to uphold the honor of the University by affirming our commitment to complete academic honesty. We resolve not only to be honest but also to hold our peers accountable for complete honesty in all university matters.
We consider it dishonest to ask for, give, or receive help in examinations or quizzes, to use any unauthorized material in examinations, or to present, as one's own, work or ideas which are not entirely one's own. We recognize that any instructor has the right to expect that all student work is honest, original work. We accept and acknowledge that responsibility for lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty fundamentally rests within each individual student.
We expect of ourselves academic integrity, personal professionalism, and ethical character. We appreciate steps taken by University officials to protect the honor of the University against any who would disgrace the MSU student body by violating the spirit of this creed.
Written and adopted by the 2002-2003 MSU Student Senate.

text: Biofuels Hold New Revenue Opportunities March 3, 2013 10:49 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email The next generation of biofuels will create new revenue streams for producers near advanced biofuel plants, and rural communities could also see a boost due to job creation. Within the next decade, the biofuel industry could be worth more than $60 billion, supporting 18,000 jobs, according to a recent analysis by Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2), a nonprofit focusing on building environmental policy that also builds economic prosperity. According to E2, 82 advanced biofuel companies, refineries, and related operations are located in at least 27 states. By far, California leads the nation with 30 advanced biofuel companies. Illinois is second with eight, followed by Colorado with six, Texas with five, and Iowa with four. By 2015, an additional 26 bio-refineries are expected to open, according to E2. Advanced biofuels are renewable, liquid transportation fuels that can replace traditional gasoline and diesel while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50%. These fuels are made from agricultural resides like corn stover, municipal solid waste, woody biomass, or from crops like sugar cane, sugar beets, switchgrass, and wheatgrass. "Forty percent of corn stover needs to lie on the field, but 60% can be repositioned," says Mary Solecki, clean fuels analyst at E2. She notes that Abengoa Bioenergia, based in Saint Louis, pays producers within a 50-mile radius of its plant near Hugoton, Kansas, $17 million per year for feedstocks. Other producers who are practicing crop rotations are planting energy crops (sugar beets or sugar cane) at times of the year when their fields would have traditionally remained fallow, says Solecki. "It's a brand new source of revenue," She adds. "I see a lot of opportunities for producers to do what comes naturally to them—doing more with what they already have." Behind Schedule In a separate report, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) notes that several companies combined to produce about 20,000 gallons of fuels using cellulosic biomass (e.g., wood waste, sugarcane bagasse) from commercial-scale facilities in late 2012. EIA estimates this output could grow to more than 5 million gallons in 2013. Although volumes of cellulosic biofuels are expected to grow significantly relative to current levels, they will likely remain well below the targets envisioned in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. That law set a target level of 500 million gallons of cellulosic biofuels for 2012 and 1 billion gallons for 2013, growing to 16 billion gallons by 2022. "To the extent that feedstock for these processes are waste products and little-to-no fossil inputs are required for their conversion, greenhouse gas emissions could be as much as 80% to 90% below those of petroleum products on a life-cycle basis," says EIA in its report. The path to commercial biofuels has not been smooth, says EIA. A number of projects have been canceled before starting major construction, and many projects have been delayed due to difficulties obtaining financing, technology scale-up difficulties at startup companies, and strategic corporate shifts due to increased availability of low-cost natural gas.
