To my Moslem Family, Women and Men of all ages, and in particular I write this for the Children of Islam, who are the hope and will be the salvation of All Mankind! By The Will of Allah!
Islam is like a fruit bearing tree, fruits the likes of which have never before been seen. It is as if Allah in His Great Mercy, took the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil and The Tree of Life, and made of them a single wonderful plant, which as it grows, gives new kinds of fruits in every generation, according to the needs of the time and that generation. These fruits can heal the mind and body in ways no one can now predict.
Imagine you found a cherry seed but had never seen a cherry or a cherry tree and you couldn't know it is a cherry tree just from looking at the seed. You would have no idea and no way to imagine what it's flowers will look like, nor could you imagine their fragrance, nor could you guess their color or the true nature of the gift a cherry fruit can be, how it makes one smile with gratitude and wonder when it brings forth the special sweetness of it's heart shaped red and purple fruits.
Islam is unimaginably more wonderful than a Cherry Tree! It will bear fruits of every kind and all yet unknown and never before eaten! Wait and see. Be patient and full of peace.
The mountain will come to me, not because I Have Faith and have called it to obey, but because Allah has given me Faith and Commanded me To Call Out and By His Will Alone the mountain of resistance surrenders and obeys as do I, whom am Allah's Faithful Slave!
Now It Is The Will of Allah that True Islam has been hidden in a cloudy deadly storm of envious strife and bloodshed over what is it's legitimate historical narrative and what is The Birthright of The Leaders Of Islam. Brothers in Islam disagreed over the inheritance and legacy, both materiel and spiritual, that came from The Great Prophet's teachings and they took to violence so as to coerce their interpretation of whatever facts, they believed themselves to have knowledge of.
It is Allah's Great And Loving Cunning to hide The Greatest Treasures of Truth and Wisdom in the most unlikely places, this so that only the most courageous warriors of Jihad, can find them where they are In Islam and their own heart, and extract from false doctrines and self serving dogmas what is most essential to Allah, that being a Truthful Piety that seeks NOTHING of the transient wealth of this world.
Those who seek respect and honor and wealth and popularity among men, those who want political power of any kind, those who seek to enforce Islam in any way, anyone who believes Jihad means to coerce good people into submission with fear, are not of the fruit of Islam at all. They are the means by which Allah hides the wisdom and life enhancing essence of The Great Prophets' Teachings, so that only those who fearlessly seek the truth and who are willing to give up all the treasures of this world for Allah's Gardens, can find Those Gardens and Their Treasures within their own Pure Heart. For these are the souls who Islam has been meant for, from the beginning of Creation!
And among the Children of Islam today and the uncountable souls yet unborn, are the souls of those who will appreciate and be grateful for what Islam has yet to become.
No longer a religion at war within it's self and with much of the world over the heritage of the Prophets, but a way of Living The Truth, and this first by telling yourself the truth about your own motives, for doing what you do. Acknowledging THE REALITY of your own feelings of hostility and envy. Recognizing your fear of being shamed or blamed or punished for standing up against injustice.
Before a soul knows the motives of the heart, it cannot truthfully profess any Faith in Allah by witnessing what the heart is after. A pure heart wants nothing but to surrender to it's King, for no other reason and out of no motive other than peace seeking, In a MIND that sets a wonderful harmony of diversity among mankind, as it's highest value, beneath only Surrendering To Allah's Creative Will in Pure Faith, which is The Highest Value of them all..
Now I have come to teach my family of Islam how to search one's own heart and soul and mind, and weed out the poisonous plants of envy and false pride and feelings of superiority
that turn Allah's Garden into an ugly jungle of competing demons, who all devour one's vitality with false beliefs, Ideological Icons, Idols, that lead men to violence and sin.
And by The Will Of Allah, who has brought me back to life from the sleep of oblivion, that is what I know I am here to do.
I am King David, here to Teach TRUE Jihad and how to FINALLY become The Master of One's Own Heart who then delivers it completely and absolutely over To Allah, to do with it As He Wills, so that greed and fear of consequence and over confidence when doing unpopular right things, no longer lead one astray from doing Allah's Will.
Now no human entity has corrupted the idea of Jihad more than the American CIA.
They did so first in Afghanistan, to inspire what became The Taliban to fight fiercely against the Soviets who had invaded their land. Osama Ben Laden became the most infamous fighter and teacher of these corrupt doctrines. Now make no mistake, fighting godless communists who have invaded one's home, is not a sin. But these teachings were far more insidious than that. They had a long term plan to deceitfully create a pretext for the invasion of Afghanistan for many economic and geopolitical reasons. Not the least of which the control of Heroin production played a major role. Turning Islam into an enemy culminated in the events of September 11th, 2001, which was perpetrated by The CIA and in consort with the Israeli Mossad, Israel being the greatest beneficiary of the fall of Saddam Husein.
I love Israel, and were it not Allah Himself who is dictating to me what I write, I would never blame Jews for doing whatever necessary to prevent another Holocaust. However, the spilling of innocent blood, and all blood is innocent unless it has spilled the blood of innocents, is a grave and unforgivable sin, unless acknowledged and repented for.
Only Allah can forgive the spilling of innocent blood, a sin as King David I committed and which is why I slept in oblivion until forgiven and brought back to life as who I am today,
The Moslem Messiah of Israel.
Today my name is Jonathan Michael Robbins.
I first surrendered completely to Allah in a Mosque in Jaffa, near Tel-Aviv. I was myself astounded by the tears that ran down my cheeks, as if a fountain of forgiveness was washing away all the dust and clutter from my heart. I don't know Arabic and recited the prayers as told to, by a Moslem man there who took me under his wing. I prostrated my self with my forehead on the ground, again again, only understanding the words " Allah is Merciful!".
Oh, Indeed He Is !
When prayers were over, he took me to his home and his wife set before me all the food she had in her refrigerator. At the time I was homeless and not as well dressed as I would have liked to have been, as a guest and stranger in a stranger's home. But I felt very welcomed and their kindness to me, an impoverished unkempt homeless man, was remarkable. I was very grateful.
This was ten years ago.
I still considered myself a Jew until recently, when Allah told me, and He speaks to me in my heart all the time, as I become what I am mean To Be, Allah Tells Me, "Judaism has become completely corrupt as a religion, it has reached the fulfillment of it's purpose, like Christianity." Without coercion or violence, these dead fossils of religion are coming to an end.
Islam is the only way for a Truth Seeking, Peace Loving man, if he wants to help establish a peaceful commonwealth of free men and women all over the Globe.
And this will happen, however long it takes.
Islam is an Eternal Faith that Will Heal Mankind, By The Will of Allah and The Teachings of His Prophets, of which I am one.
I am King David, and this I swear with All of My Faith!
Who wants to come walk with me, walk the whole path into Allah's Radiant Gardens, where we can discuss as Allah's Family Of Peace, The Pure and Faithful of Mankind, His Glorious Grace?

MUNROE, GRAFTON, D.D.S. - One of the representative dentists of Springfield is Dr. Grafton Munroe, who is pleasantly situated at No. 304 Ferguson Building, corner of Sixth and Monroe Streets, while his residence is at No. 1300 North Fifth Street. He was born at Annapolis, Md., August 5, 1863, a son of James and Matilda Rebecca (Walter) Munroe.
Dr. Munroe is a graduate of St. John's College of Annapolis, Md., Class of 1882, degree of A.B. The further degree of A.M. was conferred on him by the same school in 1890. His dental training was obtained in the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1885, with a degree of D.D.S. He also graduated from Edward H. Angle School of Orthodontia, of St. Louis, Mo. 1900. From the time of his graduation until 1888, Dr. Munroe practiced dentistry at Annapolis, Md., and then moved to Springfield, Ill., which has since been his home. There he has built up a large and constantly growing practice, some of his patients having been with him all these years.
On October 2, 1890, Dr. Munroe was united in marriage, at Springfield, Ill., with Bettie Jane Brown. Three children have been born of this marriage: Ogden Brown, Frances Josephine, and Grafton, Jr. (deceased). In national matters, Dr. Munroe is a Republican, but in local affairs he votes for the man he thinks will best fill the office. He was brought up a Methodist, but later became a Presbyterian, and now is a supporter of that church.
Dr. Munroe is one of the solid men of Springfield, whose example tends to elevate the tone of the community. He has many warm, personal friends here, and is justly recognized as one of the leaders in his profession in Sangamon County. He is the author of the article in this work entitled "The history of Dental Surgery in Springfield and Sangamon County."

So, having given up on Blogger, which I can't for the life of me access from home, I've started this new blog. First things first, so a Hagrid-sized thank you to my Sockret Pal, Christy. We may be miles apart in terms of political ideology (she's the Crafty Conservative, and I would be, um, not conservative), we are of one mind in our love of Harry Potter. And I've got the socks to prove it, if I can figure out how to post the pics.
well, maybe not. I've asked the nice folks at WordPress to help me out. I'm fine once I do something once, but I'm not very tech-savvy.
On another note, I started a shawl for my sister, using 100% cashmere from Colourmart. She's not picky or anything, but she said Zephyr was itchy. Zephyr. Butter is itchier than Zephyr, but since she's the one who will be wearing it, I bought cashmere. It's too thin to knit single-strand (she wants it thicker than laceweight, but not fingering weight. Again, not.at.all.picky.), so I've been working on it triple-stranded. I started (Bird's Nest pattern from Folk Shawls), knit 10,000 stitches, and frogged it. Why yes, that was a lot of stitches to frog. No, I didn't cry. Much. I just don't like the yarn with the pattern. So Kathy's coming to visit in April, and we're going to buy yarn together. And I'll try again. Now, what to do with 4,500 yards of oatmeal colored cashmere yarn, very thin?

I'm trying to generate some vocabulary for Xinkutlan around the concepts of family and relations. I was thinking about some of the different ways Kazakh and some of the other languages I know bits of classify different relatives, and I started wondering. Do your conlangs have any "interesting" ways of classifying family relationships? What distinctions are made/not made? Eg are there separate words for elder and younger siblings? Different terms depending on birth order? How far "out" does "brother" extend? (Two common parents, one common parent, uncles, friends, people from your village...) How many generations back and forward have specific titles (ie mother, grandmother, great-grandmother etc)? Do the ancestral ones vary depending on which side of the family? How do you refer to in-laws? Do husbands and wives use different words for family members? What does your language's conculture consider to constitute "a family"? Nuclear or extended- and how far extended?

Judge denies youthful offender status for Clifton Park teen accused of sex crimes
June 19, 2018 06:52 PM
A Clifton Park teen appeared before a judge Tuesday afternoon to learn his fate. Taylor Pierre is accused of several crimes - including trying to convince underage girls to send him explicit photos and videos on social media.
The big question on Tuesday was would the judge grant Pierre youthful offender status. Had he done that, then Pierre would not have to register as a sex offender.
His attorney argued that he was only 17 at the time and being labeled a sex offender will severely impact his abilities to become a good citizen as an adult.
One of the victim's fathers spoke, saying he fears Pierre is a predator. It seems the judge agreed.
Pierre first came on the public radar back in December of 2015 for threatening to bring a shotgun to his high school. He was 16 at the time and charged with making a terroristic threat. Then in August of 2017, he was arrested and charged in local court with raping an underage girl at his apartment and trying to get other young girls to send him sexually explicit photos on social media.
Pierre agreed to plead guilty to felony possession of sexual performance of a child, promoting sexual performance of a child and one count of sexual misconduct.
Most of the hearing and sentencing was off-limits to cameras until Judge Murphy ruled he is not eligible for youthful offender status.
The judge said he might have considered it if there was only one victim, but with four known, he sees a pattern of behavior. He said the public should be aware of what Pierre has done and his crimes deserve "public memorialization."
NewsChannel 13 learned Tuesday that Pierre fathered a child with one of the victims in this case, who was 14 years old.
He's been sentenced to 10 years' probation and has orders of protection to stay away from the victims. The judge did say Pierre can have the orders amended in Family Court when it comes to the baby and its mother.
They will be back in court again next month to determine the level of registry status.

Pacers' O'Neal could be sidelined for season
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) – Indiana Pacers All-Star forward Jermaine
O'Neal will be sidelined indefinitely and could possibly miss the rest of the
season as he continues to be plagued by a subluxated sprain of the right
O'Neal sustained the injury in a March 3 loss to the Nuggets when he was hit
on the right arm by Denver's Francisco Elson while driving to the basket.
He was placed on the injured list the next day and has missed the last five
games. O'Neal is eligible to be activated for Wednesday's game against Utah,
but head coach Rick Carlisle does not expect his star player to return to the
lineup anytime soon.
"He's going to be out for awhile," Carlisle said. "I have no idea when, or if,
he will return. His situation continues to be monitored and as the swelling
goes down we'll be able to make a better determination as to exactly where he
There has not been any decision made on whether O'Neal will require surgery to
repair the shoulder, but if he does need an operation then his season would
likely be over.
The 26-year-old O'Neal, who made the All-Star Game as a reserve this season,
is the Pacers' leading scorer, rebounder and shot-blocker. He is averaging
24.8 points to go along with 9.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per outing.
O'Neal has already missed more games this season (21) than in the previous
four years combined (20), due mostly to the 15 contests he missed while
serving a league suspension for his part in the mid-November brawl at Detroit.
The Pacers are 22-19 with O'Neal in the lineup and 9-12 without him this year.
"We've got to find a way to get to the playoffs, and that's going to be a
challenge in itself," Carlisle said. "We've got to go on the idea that he's
not going to be here. That's the way we have to approach it. We can't be
hanging our hopes on his return because it's going to be awhile if he comes
back at all. We've got to do it with the guys we have available."

New Music: Rihanna Ft. JT - Hole In My Head
Rihanna worked with Justin Timberlake once again on her new album 'Rated R'. The singer nabbed JT for "Hole In My Head", which is featured as a bonus track. The upbeat track was producted by Justin's production team The Y's, who also did "Cold Case Love". This song is hot. I hate that JT isn't putting out his own album but this track is hot.
Take a listen HERE and share your thoughts.

Admittedly, it is an outright shame I only went for one day, but the poetry and conversations encountered in that one day were enough to make me, a gluttinuous gobbler of poetry, overwhelmed. Highlight included the humour of Coleman Barks, the discovery of poets Matthea Harvey and Taha Muhammad Ali, and the intensity of Taslima Nasreen.
It was cold. COLD. Ink does not like the cold! BUT … there was (almost) free coffee. One of the most accommodating features of the festival this year was the Greene Brothers' coffee station. For $7.95 consumers were given a closable travel mug with infinite refills. …INFINITE REFILLS!!! Now most people stop at 3-4 cups a day, but INK HATES COLD!!! I must have gone through 20-some cups @ 20 oz. each. So a formal thank you for the Greene Brothers for keeping my innards warm throughout the coldest day yet this year.
On to the poetry!
Coleman Barks and his earnest, though commercially successful, Rumi readings are always a treat. Take the jolliest English professor/teacher you've ever had, make him Santa Clause, then give him a humour, humility, and universal comprehension worthy of god, and there will be re-created Coleman Barks. Much do I hold him in high esteem, not only for his dedication to the works of Rumi, which were entirely oral … only reproduced though those that heard them, but for his humanity in reading Rumi.
To open one's eyes against an 8 am backdrop of poetry can be hard…but with some coffee and Colman Bark's humour, the day … the poetry started with a light and tender hand as equally humourous as it was enlightening. Yes, I realize I'm gushing. That's ok. Much like the pair of lover's eyes you awaken to, so were the early morning Rumi poems to the breath-exposing audience. Barks was backed by the Paul Winter Consort, which, although not as integrated with the poetry as I would have liked (I loved the musicians' music at the festival prior to this one), were great when they got on with their proverbial groove. The musicians stood out, however, when backing Coleman Barks' original works, which were read as comic relief between heavier-hitting Rumi poems.
So, by 9:15, my early ears were tickled and eager. "Let's to the 'Poetry as Disruptive/Centering Force' discussion'" my internal self directed. "Ok," my feet replied.
Here I was looking forward to the topic with a group of poets I've never read/heard/heard about before. But it was here that I discovered 2 absolutely indispensable poets: Taha Muhammad Ali and Taslima Nasreen.
Taha M. Ali (apologies to the supposed prophet for the shortening of his name into an initial and then this blatantly long parenthetical statement explaining such an action) is an Iranian poet who is a disruptive force in a very distinctive manner: he wants the world to stop quarreling and take the time to realize how wonderful the life is that we ignore as a consequence of our bickering over religion, hate, and superficiality. He celebrates the human condition…how appropriate for a poet in New Jersey. Though his English was decent, he did have, on-hand, a translator: one Peter Cole. And, in a statement on why he though poetry was important in turbulent times, he offered something to the accord of "poetry is beauty." The man was enthralled with words, their sounds, their possibilities, but, most importantly, the way we interact with them. This gave his poems a humanitarian scope that Red Cross would be hard to match. In his own land, although is is not religious and against governmental policies, he is lifted above crowds by the very same people who dislike him as the people before him cheer for any utterance he offers. Much was the same way in our tent at Waterloo.
On the same panel was one Taslima Nasreen, an advocate and activist for women's rights in India who is an exile in her own home town. Her poetry took me back to my English literature courses during America's own Women's right movement. And, back then (in college), I never was quiet affected by the works we read. There was no urgency…no sense of impending doom or necessary action. After all…I was living in America, and things were, at the very least, not as bad as they were then and on the slope of improvement.
But with Taslima, there is definitely an urgency, a desperation that grabs the heart like the writings of American women writers must've grabbed the hearts of their fellow women and any other sympathizers that should happen to fall upon the rarity of their words in print. As an example, I offer a snippit of the poem that made my own heart realize it was concrete when I felt it's impact upon my stomach:
"Shabita is not a poet,
but today she has written a poem,
contentment showing as she writes.
For ever since childhood,
she had wanted to write a poem,
a beautiful poem;
throwing her newborn daughter
from the sixth floor
was like writing a poem,
a perfect poem.
For had the daughter lived for 50 years,
she would had suffered for 50 years
simply for being a woman.
She has written a beautiful poem,
reducing her daughter's pain
from 50 years to 50 minutes."
This is the real deal. This is the true power of poet and message, urgency and delivery, reader and realization. Her poems power rely, at least the translations I heard, on insistent repetition and non-conjunctive imagery…classic elements of poetry that she exploits as if it were her native tongue. Even now, having listened to that bit of poem so that I might transcribe it for anyone who'd happen upon this blog, I'm weighted. And thus say, if you, reader, are here with me now, go to amazon.com or whatever book buying outlet you prefer and support this woman's effort by gaining her knowledge, experience, and caring … and then, dear reader, give some back. Just because you may not have a reach to India to stop the abuse, doesn't mean you acting kinder to your fellow man wasn't the intention either.
On a lighter note, and one of the poets who made me laugh much, was Matthea Harvey. With books entitled "Sad Little Breathing Machine" and "Pity the Bathtub its Formed Embrace," how was I not destined to be endeared. Unfortunately, I'm writing this more than a week after my visit to Dodge, so I don't remember solids about her work. The only piece that springs to mind was a microcosm composed of a series of poems involving the character, "robot-boy." One of the poems she read from this series dealt with robot boy finding the original box he came in and deciding to go back inside. Yes, the metaphors are clear as day, but with language so simultaneously careful and playful, it's impossible not to be won over for fear of calling yourself an automaton.
Saying anything more would be reaching into faded memories. So for now, go to your local bookstore and place a few orders for the poetry above. You will thank you.

07 Jan Creating a Competition to WOW Your Audience
To excel and grow your business, competitions are a great way to expand over social networks, drive the traffic to your organisation and get a stronger outcome for the future of your company. Producing the buzz with your audience will create a sturdier more fun force of follower and word of mouth will spread about what you are doing, offering and get their competitive streak racing. With these 5 key point to use while organising your showcase competition, you will be able to execute something extravagant and will be the words on everyone's lips.
Create the Drama
Hype is a fantastic force to get viewers excited to the run up and during your race to the prize. You should always have a "Hype week" which should start about 3-4 days before the competition launch. This is where you count down to the launch day which will get everyone ready for the starter line and this should be on all of you social media outlets, your main website and also other sites that can host it like Magic Freebie who shall display you contest to a bigger viewing.
Contact is key!
Keeping the contact and giving regular updates with all involved in the competition will stop it from going stale and becoming yesterday's news throughout the duration. Make sure you have regular images and short messages about the competition going to all your social feeds and pages. With completions you can show off your own product or get on board with other company which is an extremely good way for growth, progression and growing bonds with others in your industry. It doesn't hurt to contact them to hear their thoughts about your comp ideas.
Building the foundations
Getting the basics right with a strong graphic/visuals, correct wording and plan of action is so important in generating the basis of a successful platform from which you can conduct your audience's excitement from. The stronger the base of your competition, the greater the outcome will be in both a business and pleasure sense.
The live show
After your count down to the prize, the first day of your launch is so important to make the biggest fuss. One thing to keep in mind with your promotion is timings! Hitting the cyber rush hour periods is key to get your competition full coverage. In the UK you should push the promotion around working hours so between 7.00am – 9.00am, Lunch time 12.00pm – 1.00pm and then after work 6.00pm – 9.00pm is when you get the biggest traffic flow. If you are hitting the American audience too, you must look in to posts going out throughout the night with a social media service like Plug My Social, where you will be able to schedule pictures and text at times of your choice on all your social media forums, the best way to keep your live show alive.
The winners stand
Congratulating everyone involve will keep the interest for your viewers and will keep them ready for your next prize winning draw. When announcing the winner of the competition, it is so important to let all the runner ups know who has taken the trophy home. But do always check with the winner you have chosen that it's ok to use their details over social space first. Go out with a bang and not a flop.

Bizarre natural phenomenon of baby spider falling from the sky dubbed Angel Hair. It's Raining Spiders!
If you suffer from arachnophobia don't move to New South Wales Australia…A resident of the Southern Tablelands in New South Wales Australia took to Facebook to report that millions of baby spiders appeared to be falling from the sky onto his property. Yes it's raining spiders. The phenomenon, dubbed 'angel hair', sees baby spiders climb to the top of vegetation and release a streamer of silk that catches on the breeze and carries them into the air. The result is spiders falling from the sky.
The natural phenomenon usually take place in May and August because Outback arachnids throw their webs up into the air, moving in large formations through the sky. These spider colonies then travel through the air and fall in masses of web and silk down to the ground, coating everything from farmlands to buildings.
It's Raining Spiders
The onslaught of spiders can be explained by a migration technique called "ballooning," It is thought that some spiders have been carried almost 1.8 miles above the ground and can travel long distances.

That Doctor Who Children In Need scene reaction in full
(off the top of my head, before reading anyone else's comments, but after half a bottle of rather expensive French plonk)
- Hello, David Tennant. Aren't you lovely?
- And aren't you particularly lovely in Mr Eccleston's clothes?
- I know, I feel slightly cheap for even thinking that, but it was true.
- Also, Rose's hair looks much nicer than last series.
- I can proudly announce that anyone who picked option 2 in my recent poll can consider themselves the proud winners of a No-Prize. Yeah, there was less arguing than that question implied, but there was categorical and undeniable handporn. (And no, I didn't make any untoward noises. Honest, I didn't. I did do an expression of the kind I think I last practised in the fluffy animal house at London Zoo, though.)
- The mole. All right, ladies and gentlemen, please meet the one true constant of every single sex scene in the as-yet-unwritten realms of oncoming Ten/Rose fiction. A round of applause might be appropriate, possibly followed by a teasingly gentle stroke of the fingertip. Ha.
- They mentioned Jack! And the Doctor knows Jack is alive, does he? Well, he must be magic, then. I don't mind the cavalier attitude to Jack's whereabouts since one can write that off as post-regeneration sickness bonkers disease, but I am now wondering how the sane and rational bit of the Doctor is going to explain it. When he comes back. On Christmas Day. Not long now. Gosh.
- That is all for now, apart from general excited noises of a non-specific but actually highly literate nature. No, really.

In other news, it must have been a clairvoyant casting director that employed Mr Tennant to appear in the GoF movie, because they successfully anticipated the fact that I'd feel very little eagerness to go and see it otherwise. Might see it on Sunday, however, since that's traditionally the day on which mindless entertainment is most welcome.

Business Associate Dismissal Denied in HIPAA Data Breach Case
Press America's motion to dismiss claims in a HIPAA data breach case with CVS Pharmacy was recently denied by a New York District Court.
Source: Thinkstock
- A HIPAA data breach case that stemmed from a business associate disclosing PHI will not be dismissed, according to a US District Court decision.
CVS Pharmacy, Inc. and Caremark Rx LLC (CVS) sought reimbursement from its business associate, Press America, Inc., following a 2012 PHI data breach.
CVS was responsible for providing beneficiaries of IBM's health plan with mail order pharmacy services, court documents explained. Press America was in charge of mailing the information and incorrectly addressed mail containing beneficiaries' PHI, which disclosed the data of 41individuals.
CVS credited IBM $1,845,000 and then sought reimbursement from Press America, which the business associate denied. Press America then moved to dismiss the case, saying it was not obligated to pay. The Southern District of New York court dismissed the motion for denial in January 2018.
New York state law requires that negligence claims must establish "the existence of a duty on defendant's part as to plaintiff," and a breach of that duty took place. A negligence claim must also establish "injury to the plaintiff as a result thereof," the Court explained.

"CVS alleges that 'Press America owed CVS a duty of reasonable care in a manner consistent with the knowledge and ability possessed by such a vendor,'" the case stated. "Second, CVS alleges that 'Press America breached its duty of reasonable care to CVS by, among other things, negligently disclosing PHI.'"
"Third, CVS alleges that it was damaged by Press America's negligence because among other things, it was required to pay IBM, conduct an 'exhaustive investigation' into the extent of the disclosures, 'assess the extent of various HIPAA compliance issues,' and notify the affected customers," the court continued.
Press America did not demonstrate that CVS failed to plausibly plead negligence, the decision read. The business associate also made the premature argument "that the payment provision in the IBM Contract was not the proximate cause of CVS's damages."
CVS and Press America had two written agreements together before the data breach took place. First, the two organizations entered into a Master Service Agreement and Statement of Work, where Press America said it would provide printing and mailing services to CVS. A second Statement of Work specifically outlined the printing services that would be required of Press America.
There was also a business associate agreement (BAA), where "Press America agreed not to use or disclose PHI except as specifically permitted by contract."

The Court explained that the contracts also contained indemnity provisions. For example, the BAA established that CVS would be indemnified and held harmless "arising out of or in connection with any breach of the terms of this Agreement, any Breach of Private Information under the control of [Press America] or its agents or subcontractors that requires notification under the HIPAA Rules or state law, or any failure to perform its obligations with respect to Private Information by [Press America], it[s] officers, employees, agents, or any person or entity under [Press America's] direction or control."
CVS also had agreements with IBM, including one that required CVS to comply with "performance standards." One of these standards explained that CVS must pay a fee in the event of a "Protection of Information Failure," which included PHI disclosures.
"On December 31, 2012, CVS credited IBM $1,845,000—calculated as three percent of the annual fee amount at risk for the performance guarantees ($45,000), multiplied by the total number of disclosures," the Court wrote. "Thereafter, CVS sought reimbursement from Press America. Despite CVS's demands, however, Press America refused to pay."
Press America claimed that there was no factual material presented in the Amended Complaint that showed what contract existed between CVS and IBM on the date of the data breach. However, the Court determined that the Amended Complaint "plausibly pleads that the IBM Contract existed and was in effect at the time of the disclosures."
The language used in the Master Agreement and BAA were broad enough to capture CVS's payment to IBM, the Court added.
READ MORE: CareFirst Data Breach Case Moves to US Supreme Court
"There is no express exclusion in either of these provisions for contractual obligations that may be triggered by Press America's negligence," the decision read. "In the absence of such an exclusion, the language of the contract encompasses the payments to IBM triggered by Press America's negligent acts."
Citing a previous case, the Court also said reviewing "potential causes and determining which parties are liable is a task for a jury."
"The enforceability of the IBM Contract's payment provision may ultimately impact the Court's evaluation of whether CVS is entitled to indemnification," the Court wrote. "For example, Press America may argue that it was not within the intendment of the parties for it to be liable for reimbursement of an unenforceable penalty. But an evaluation of that argument is different from a direct attack on the enforceability of the provision, which Press America launches here, and the Court rejects."
While the CVS and Press America case is yet to be final, it is a strong example of why BAAs are so critical for healthcare organizations.
The HIPAA Omnibus Rule determined that business associates can now be held liable to similar repercussions as covered entities should PHI become compromised.
Covered entities "are not required to monitor or oversee the means by which their business associates carry out privacy safeguards or the extent to which the business associate abides by the privacy requirements of the contract," HHS states on its website, adding that covered entities are not responsible or liable for their business associates' actions.
"If a covered entity finds out about a material breach or violation of the contract by the business associate, it must take reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation, and, if unsuccessful, terminate the contract with the business associate," HHS explains. "If termination is not feasible (e.g., where there are no other viable business alternatives for the covered entity), the covered entity must report the problem to the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights."
Covered entities must create and enforce applicable BAAs for comprehensive PHI security. Having responsibilities for both parties described in writing will be beneficial in the event of a data breach to help determine appropriate steps in remedying the situation.

VIDEO: Madawala murder case: Firearm and supplier produced in court
June 13, 2013 12:51 pm
The firearm allegedly used in killing of Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha member Hasitha Madawala and the person suspected to have supplied the weapon were produced at the Mahara Magistrate Court today by the CID.
Also the CID produced the laptop belonging to the suspect Ishan Edirisinghe which contained photos of the firearm used in the murder. The Mahara Magistrate ordered the suspect to be remanded until June 23.
The five suspects arrested in connection with the murder of Hasitha Madawala have been presented to the Mahara Magistrate Court.
Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha member Hasitha Madawala died due to gunshot injuries sustained by an unknown gang on January 5.
He was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital following the shooting, which occurred in front of his residence in Waragoda, however had succumbed to injurious soon after.
Madawala was a supporter of the current Chairman of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha who along with several other PS members took a stand against alleged corruption and irregularities in the Kelaniya electorate.
The prime suspect in the killing was arrested on January 7 at the Bandaranaike International Airport while attempting to leave the country.
The suspect, Rangan, had revealed during interrogations that he was planning to board a flight to Singapore, police spokesman SSP Prishantha Jayakody said.
According to information uncovered following interrogation, four other suspects were arrested over the murder from the Kelaniya and Kiribathgoda areas while one of them, Singapore Sarath is said to be a relative of Rangan.
The firearm and motorcycle used by the suspects to carry out the murder were recovered while a magazine, two bullets, two bike helmets, a T81 rifle, 42 ammo and a three-wheeler found in their possession were also seized.
It was reported that the residents in the area have informed security forces that the chief suspect, Rangan is a supporter of Minister Mervyn Silva.
The case was then handed over to the CID which assigned a special team to conduct investigations.
The incident was met with a host of criticisms by opposition parties and some members of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha who stated that the government Minister Mervyn Silva was in some way involved in the murder.
Even though Minister Maithripala Sirisena stated that an impartial investigation should be carried out regarding the murder of Kelaniya PS member Hasitha Madawala UNP MP Tissa Attanayake questioned its probability.
He stated that thug politics is currently prevailing in Kelaniya and that an impartial investigation cannot be expected on a person representing the government.
Condemning the murder of the UPFA member of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha, the UNP General Secretary stated that such situations had not prevailed in Kelaniya previously.
The Chairman of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha Prasanna Ranaweera claimed that the murderers of Hasitha Madawala have confessed to accepting a Rs. 3.5 million contract from Minister Mervyn Silva to assassinate several PS members.
He stated that officials of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha were afraid to attend assembly or even a public meeting.
He stated that they were all active members of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and requested the President, Defense Secretary and IGP to guarantee their safety.
Ranaweera stated that even though he has been provided with security, he requests authorities to do the same for the remainder of the PS members.
However, the main person - Minister Mervyn Silva still walks free and until he is arrested, there is a threat to our lives, the Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman told reporters during a press conference.
Mervyn Silva tendered his resignation from the post of Kelaniya Chief Organizer which was accepted by President Mahinda Rajapaksa on January 11.
However, Ranaweera added that removing Mervyn from the post of Keleniya electorate chief organizer alone will not suffice.

Working Group on 'The Crimes of the Powerful'
2013 Manifesto: Working document
This European working group provides a network and database for teachers, researchers, students and activists across and beyond Europe who have an interest studying and confronting corporate and state crimes and harms – in their various forms. The working group will provide an opportunity to share our knowledge of corporate and state harm and help establish new links with activists and academics who critically engage with the current forms, extent and nature of such crimes and harms. The working group will thus provide an opportunity to connect local campaigns with a wider network through which we can collectively provide solidarity and support. The working group also aims to foster a greater understanding of criminal and harmful corporate and state activities; offer possibilities for collaborative research; and work towards emancipatory change.
Based upon observations and insights offered by academic research, investigative journalism and the struggles of campaigning and activist organisations, we recognise that:
These features of state and corporate crimes and harms require and energetic, co-operative and sustained response. This group seeks to provide one forum for galvanising such a response. To this end, we are committed to the following:
In seeking to achieve these commitments, the Group aims to provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas which is at the same time a space free of sexist, racist or class-based prejudices, either in the form of words or actions.
We recognise that there are a plethora of groups and individuals long engaged in these practices .. and … the aim of this group is neither to usurp nor to act parasitically upon any of these activities… As academics we do not privilege academic activity. But we do recognise that, even in an era of marketised education many academics enjoy resources and privileges which it is our obligation to make as widely available as possible.
The organisation of the European working group on corporate and state crime and harm is undertaken by a steering group that will consist of at least the following: a working group coordinator; the coordinator of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control; the secretary of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control. Members of the working group may also be invited to join a steering group. The working group will meet every year at the annual conference of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control and members are encouraged to organise other events, meetings and conferences throughout the calendar year to help generate ideas, networks and direct interventions. Such events may be full meetings for the whole working group or specially convened meetings of local activists in one given region / nation. A separate mailing list will be maintained and other European Group media sources, such as facebook, youtube, twitter and crim-space, will be used to disseminate information about the working group and its activities. The working group coordinator will be elected at the European Group annual conference and full details of the membership of the working group will be detailed on our website www.europeangroup.org

I don't have all the answers and don't profess to.
I love everyone and still get mad at folks. I struggle with finances like many folks do, yet I decree the prosperity God's Word promises. I sometimes get headaches and symptoms of sickness but I decree what God's Word says about my healing before I take any medicine. I'm not the perfect husband, father, or pastor, but I strive to be the best I can be.
I am frequently lambasted for what I teach concerning the Word of God – particularly the Gospel of God's unconditional Love and Grace. I believe that the Gospel is the only thing that simultaneously delivers freedom to sinners and liberty to saints. Similarly, I believe that the Gospel is the only message that has the potential to reform and reshape the world into the ideal God had in creation. Sometimes I see the miraculous and other times I wonder if anything actually happened.
Nevertheless, I continue to preach and with the boldness and simplicity God has told me to preach and teach with. I may not always get it right but I stay connected to Jesus, who is always right!
In other words, I'm HUMAN! But I believe God's Word trumps ANY circumstance and that God has given me dominion over all my circumstances and situations. I believe He has given you that dominion, too.
Yes, YOU!
I feel better, now! God Bless You!

Rewrite Needed>>>>>>>>>>
Christina rode furiously for what seemed like days, determined to reach the kingdom of Carbonville as soon as possible, her mind full of revenge. As she neared the boarders to the Kingdom of Carbonville, she had to pass through the desolate valleys, named the Sorrowful Realm of Moodles. No one knew what moodles were, some said they were the souls of loved ones lost, destined to walk the earth for eternity, others said they were giant baby eating ogres that only came out at night.
What Christina didn't know, was that "The Deadly One" had many spies around the borders of Carbonville, and had already been alerted to her travels. After consulting the great seer Flame of the Fang Clan, and learning of Christina's intents, he sent one of his minions, The Migster, to stop her from reaching the castle by all means necessary.
The Migster had the ability to turn into a black crow, and it didn't take him long to find Christina, she had stopped at a creek bed to drink and replenish her energy. He swooped down on her, and turned back into his true form, she was startled and was not able to get to her horse, but instead ran across the valley, and head first into a forest of black wood trees. She was already tired to the point of exhaustion, the sword becoming like an anvil as she ran. Her normal brave exterior was cracking, and soon she was sobbing and tripping as she tried to get away from The Migster and his poisoned daggers of death.
She came out of the forest and nearly toppled over the edge of a cliff, stopping only just in time, as pebbles tumbled into the giant chasm that stood before her, a deep ravine with raging waters at the base. She turned as she heard The Migster come up behind her, snarling and leering. He had a job to do after all, he didn't always like it, or enjoy it, but if he disobeyed, he'd lose everything, and he swore he'd always put blood before water.
"I'm sorry, but he has commanded, and so it must be." He took one of his daggers and aimed for poor Christina's heart, as he went to throw it, a giant roar came from above, startling the Migster and throwing off his aim, the dagger sinking into Christina's right shoulder instead of her beating heart. The pain and shock sent her backwards, falling weightlessly to her doom, but at the last second, a giant black winged figure appeared in the sky, swooping down and catching Christina mid-fall, and carried her off, to safety or her death, there was no way to know. The Migster was annoyed, but confident the poison would kill her regardless, and left to tell his master that the deed was done.

Sharing with you the first layout made with the beautiful Flying Unicorn October Kit. The 49&Market papers are so gorgeous and lucky us, the kit had double the quantity of them. Yum.
I started of with fuzzy cutting the whole sheet that had all the small items on there. More extraordinary, this layout is one without any flowers, well that's not happening a lot if you regularly check out my work. All these parts created some nice layers.
The little burlap banners I first stamped with the stamp that came with the kit in a matching color. I used this as a background for my title. The clock face I had coated with some clear crackle paint.
The cork embellishments are a gorgeous compliment to the papers and the whole feel of the layout. Trying to layer my layouts a bit more and having fun with it.

Just the tiniest of space, so I can have a chance to stay neutral before spitting out unnecessary words of defense (no one is attacking me!). Try to step back and just watch.

I've tried to find statistics about how many people have problems with fragrances but nobody seems to know and estimates run anywhere from seven to seventeen percent of the population.
Other than stores that sell cosmetics, cleaning products, and women's clothing, churches are among the likeliest places to encounter fragrances. Besides those using incense and scented candles in sanctuaries, many churches fill their entire buildings with perfume because they think it makes people feel welcome.
I've suggested to staff in several churches that they try to make their environments fragrance-free but was told the value of the scents to the majority of the people outweighed the "inconvenience" to the number of people with allergies and sensitivities.
Of course the severity of reactions varies greatly and people who might go into anaphylactic shock and possibly die or have serious asthma attacks because of smelling perfumes have learned to avoid churches and businesses that are likely to use them.
Ironically, many of the same churches use grape juice instead of wine for communion and forbid the use of alcoholic beverages in their buildings because they don't want to be a problem for alcoholics in recovery.
I've searched for the percentage of the population who are alcoholics and, again, nobody knows for sure what that number is. However estimates say as many as 8% of the population are alcoholics, although less than one percent have been diagnosed or know they are addicted. And, as with sensitivities to fragrances, people with the worst problems are not likely to attend church anyway.
I wish churches and other religious groups would care as much about one health issue as they do about the other.

Obama's plan to reward schools for innovation sparks debate
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
At Adelphi Elementary School, students peel away from their classrooms twice a week for tutorials in reading and math. Clusters of five or six children shuffle into a book closet, a hallway, a computer lab or any place teachers can fit a few chairs for 45 minutes of catch-up lessons or enrichment.
Such all-out efforts helped this Prince George's County school win a national award this year for gains in test scores. But the federal anti-poverty program that funds the academic drive at Adelphi represents a model of education reform -- spreading aid to states based on population and need -- that is fast going out of fashion.
President Obama aims to reinvent the Education Department as a venture capitalist for school reform, investing more in schools with innovative ideas. The Title I program, which supports Adelphi and thousands of other schools in low-income areas based on formulas of need, is not facing extinction. But Obama would freeze funding to the core of that program even as he sends billions of dollars to states that harmonize their policies with his.
The proposal splits congressional Democrats. They are staunch protectors of education funding for their states and districts, and many worry about promoting innovation at the expense of equity. Obama's $4 billion Race to the Top, a prime example of what he wants to expand, awarded large payouts in March to Delaware and Tennessee but left 39 applicants empty-handed.
Most states will not receive a dime this year from the school reform fund. Some senior lawmakers say there's a limit to the value of competition at a time of enormous fiscal strain on schools.
"We're all for improving our schools," Rep. David R. Obey (D-Wis.), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, told Education Secretary Arne Duncan in a hearing last month. "But right now, many school districts are drowning in a sea of red ink. We need to help them keep afloat -- not have them filling out long applications to compete for grants based on a reform agenda that they're not able to pursue in this economy."
But others are backing Obama's bet on the power of incentives. "Ensuring improvement of education in a globally competitive economy has got to be the top priority," said Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), one of several Democratic senators who have endorsed expansion of competitive grants. "That means we've got to break a little glass and shake up the system."
Duncan is expected to pitch the Obama budget Wednesday to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The stakes are particularly high for schools such as Adelphi Elementary, in a working-class neighborhood near the University of Maryland. Eighty percent of the school's 400 students come from families poor enough to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Many are from immigrant families. Yet four of every five students passed state tests last year in reading and math, earning Adelphi notice as a "National Title I Distinguished School." The award is printed on bumper stickers Principal Jane Q. Ennis hands out to parents and visitors.
Maryland, which has no guarantee that it will score any Race to the Top funding, receives more than $180 million a year from the core Title I program. That translates to $250,000 for Adelphi Elementary for extra teachers, after-school lessons and other academic support.
One recent morning, the school was immersed in its ritual of 45-minute "pullout" lessons Ennis choreographs through constant scrutiny of test scores.
"We're going to talk a little bit about place value, okay?" math specialist Andrea Mark told five sixth-graders seated in a storage area surrounded by books, paper towels and empty milk jugs. She launched into a session on whole numbers, coins and decimal points. "So what's worth more, a dime or a penny?"

The Increasing Interest In Healthy Breakfast01/06/2014 14:42
Morning meal menus in restaurants and cafes in America are quite limiting nutritionally. Restaurant chains do get imaginative with their morning meal menus when, they rev-up assortments with nice breads, more processed sugars, fatty dairy and oleaginous, inferior meats. All this development additionally revs up the cost to that of a three-program supper! Breakfast in The us must be uncomplicated, fit, varied, quick, and affordable.If you are searching to learn more about Breakfast Ocean City NJ, look into the above website.Break fast meals like eggs and hotcakes, hash-browns, and prepared meats generally found in local restaurants or bars are mucoid-forming. Dairyman and red-meat merchandises are among the worst. The digestive tube is stuffed with food that is helped by mucous to move easily through an extended field of intestines. More mucous is formed to help shove the meals down, when food is released that is tough to digest.After liquids and nutritional elements are absorbed by the lining in the guts, the waste is pressed on to the colons assimilation more for and Too much mucous everywhere along this long trail leads to back-up and slowing of fecal matter simply like we see copies in the highway at rush hour. As time passes, old, remaining mucous transforms to glue, gets pasty, and hardens sticking to the partitions of the bowels and colons like plaque on filthy teeth.
That's why it is essential to get fibrous meals such as wholegrains and fruit down initial thing in the morning and before mattress. Whole grains add also more precious for the day and get the digestive tract moving nutritional elements maybe not within other coagulating foods such as dairy and meat. Consuming healthy reduces health care costs cancers, stopping by heart disease, and But where is healthful breakfast meals offered? Melted potatoes, breads, cookies, tortillas, gravies, and breaded, melted meats produce a menu at the neighborhood restaurant or cafe look large, but those foods also make Americans seem huge everywhere they waddle.
Since this is simply not the culturally popular solution to consume, healthier people must-eat at house or get the continental breakfast in a motor hotel. At least motel management will see that there's hot and chilly whole-grain cereal, yoghurt, and fruit to select from at most of the inns.Effectively, there must not be much profit in getting America to eat healthful. Most Americans make the motor hotel sensation as they haven't eaten since they don't have a big, greasy clump in their gut that wears them down all day long to cuddle Food market dietitians and cooks must find wholesome venues for American customers. They need to create fresh and appealing wholesome sites that maintain Americans out of doctor's offices, hospitals, and emergency areas.

It is often said that the only constant is change, and that's certainly true in the business world. The recent election and a new administration are sure to bring even more corporate compliance and regulation changes. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is already proving this axiom.
The EEOC has proposed changes to their update procedure for the EEO-1 report to require the inclusion of pay data for certain companies. If your organization employs more than 100 workers, these changes will definitely create the need for additional effort to the way you track and report the EEO-1. So it's best to get in front of this update now, rather than fall behind in practice when the new tracking period begins on January 1, 2017.
Let's take a look at what the EEOC filing changes mean for your clients and the steps you can take today to help them prepare.
This new regulation was created to improve EEOC investigations into pay discrimination based on gender, race and ethnicity. As stated, if a company has more than 100 employees and file the EEO-1 report, they are affected. This means the way companies report employee data to the EEOC will be much more detailed in scope and breadth. For one thing, the report will include not only the standard demographic data you're used to providing, but also will add W-2 pay data and total hours worked by employees. This new pay data expands into 12 subset bands for each job category, turning less than 200 possible boxes for data into more than 1,800. As fun as that significant expansion sounds, there's more. Having to provide total employee hours means more work in tracking and detailing those hours if the change becomes effective in 2017.
Your clients will need to start tracking in the updated fashion on January 1, 2017 for March 31, 2018 reports, so preparing now is essential to help ensure they're ready for the start date. HR information must be up to date so companies can immediately start tracking payrolls and total hours worked. Keep in mind that the entire organization will need an expansion of data records to include categories such as goal tracking, performance management and disciplinary actions so they can more easily evaluate pay practices, and quickly correct any discrepancies or disparities that could result in an audit.
Bottom line: Be ready. The EEO-1 changes mean more work in a much more complicated manner, and the process will need your full attention — likely along with some expert guidance. The expansion of this tracking and reporting will affect the company as a whole, and it's a report that requires coordination of time, HR and payroll systems. Because the report requires collecting and aggregating data from three separate sources, completing it by hand is going to be daunting and almost impossible.
Of course, changes like these are always subject to reexamination when transitioning from an election that transfers power from one administration to the next, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that these rules and regulations could be shelved altogether. But keep in mind, whether the new administration does away with the form or not, the news of these changes is likely sparking dialogue among employees. The more they hear about regulations like this (and the possible overtime changes that are being considered by the Department of Labor), the more questions they will have. It's best to evaluate and document all pay practices now.
If you're partnering with a service to assist with your DOL overtime updates, it might be a good idea to enlist help with this major change as well. Regardless of whether you handle the prep for the EEO-1 revision yourself or you farm it out to a trusted provider, it's best to be prepared for the change that's coming.
