First Circuit
Third-party administrators and the risk of being an employer
March 17, 2014 by William Goren Leave a Comment
It is not unusual for companies of all sizes to outsource their HR functions and/or their benefit administration, though outsourcing their benefits administration is probably more common. What happens if the third party administrator starts making employment decisions for the company whose benefits they are administering? In that situation, there is a risk that the third party administrator will be deemed to be an employer under title I of the ADA with respect to employment discrimination claims and will not be protected by the safe harbor for insurance plans contained within the ADA. This is exactly what happened in an unpublished decision from the District Court of Maine in the case of Brown v. Bank of America, N.A., 2014 WL 901438 (D. Me, March 7, 2014). It is an unpublished decision and so you want to check your own local rules to see just how much influence this decision could have on your matter (if the reader is interested in how District Court decisions come to be published or unpublished, there is an excellent article from 2004 by Karen Swenson entitled Federal District Court Judges and the Decision to Publish, talking about what District Court judges consider in deciding whether to publish a case. It makes for very interesting reading. The citation for that article is 25 Justice System Journal 121).
In this case, the plaintiff was sexually assaulted by a coworker, one Mr. Clukey (the offender), at a social event at the University of Maine campus. As a result, she became fearful of returning to work with the offender present and suffered from physical and psychological aftereffects of the assault, including situational depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, panic attacks, and extreme anxiety. The plaintiff tried to reach a workplace accommodation with Bank of America in several different ways, including: moving the offender to a more distant cubicle in the common room in which they worked; setting up a safety plan with the unit of Bank of America responsible for accommodating persons with disabilities; and keeping Bank of America informed by weekly status calls, which had been agreed to by the plaintiff and her manager. None of that worked. In particular: the manager refused the plaintiff's request to move the offender to a more distant cubicle; The Bank of America department responsible for accommodating persons with disability refused to set up a safety plan for the plaintiff to allow her to return or to even discuss accommodations; and the weekly status calls were never returned. As a result of all this, the plaintiff applied for short term disability and FMLA leave. The plaintiff called Bank of America's agent, Aetna, to find out what documentation she needed to provide to obtain short-term disability and FMLA leave. Aetna informed her that they needed medical records or counseling records stating why she was unable to perform her job. While Aetna did inform her of that, they didn't tell the plaintiff that she needed to provide an evaluation from a psychiatrist. Accordingly her short-term disability was denied due to insufficient documentation. She appealed that determination and was denied again and so she got a psychiatric evaluation, and was again denied because the paperwork had been done at the incorrect time. The psychiatric evaluation showed that the plaintiff had posttraumatic stress disorder. On December 8, Aetna informed the plaintiff that they needed further documentation on why she required more leave, and the plaintiff said she would send it and asked them to let her know if that was enough. Aetna never responded to her as to whether more information was needed. Instead, Aetna emailed Bank of America informing them that the plaintiff was being placed on leave of absence closed and directing Bank of America to take action within three days. Three days after that email from Aetna to the Bank of America, the plaintiff received a letter telling her that she would be terminated a week later if she didn't return to work or provide additional documentation. Plaintiff didn't respond because there was nothing in the letter suggesting any willingness to talk to her about accommodations. Finally, Bank of America and Aetna did not make any efforts to work with the plaintiff to identify and make reasonable accommodations that would give her an opportunity to return to work.
1. Is Aetna an employer for purposes of title I of the ADA?
2. Is Aetna protected by the safe harbor?
The Reasoning of the Court
1. It is possible for an entity to constructively employ a person even though that person may not be technically an employee. ( Carparts Distribution Center, Inc. v. Automotive Wholesaler's Association of New England, Inc. 37 F.3d 12 (1st Cir. 1994).
2. Carparts set for three possible theories as to when a person may be constructively employed by another. Those possibilities are: exercise of control; agent of the employer; and interference.
3. With respect to the exercise of control, critical questions are: do the plan providers exist solely for the purpose of enabling the employer to delegate the responsibility to provide health insurance for their employees; do the plan providers have the authority to determine the level of benefits provided to employees and whether any alternative health plans were available to employees; and whether the third party administrator and the employer share in the administrative responsibilities resulting from the employee's participation in the plan. In this particular case, the plaintiff alleged: 1) Bank of America authorized Aetna to handle disability and FMLA claims for Bank of America; 2) Bank of America directed the plaintiff to provide information to Aetna to justify continued leave and that Aetna interacted with the plaintiff and directed the information she was to produce; and Aetna informed Bank of America that the plaintiff was being placed on leave of absence closed status and directed Bank of America to take action within three days.
4. With respect to the agent of the employer's theory, that refers to a typical agency relationship where you have the third-party administrators acting on behalf of the employer with respect to providing and administering employee health benefits. On this point, the court refers to the EEOC compliance manual discussing whether an employer controls another so as to establish an employment relationship. The court also references Clackamas Gastroenterology Associates, P.C. v. Wells, P.C., 538 U.S. 440 (2003), where the United States Supreme Court held that a partner may be an employee if the employer was exercising sufficient control over that employee despite the person's title to the contrary.
5. The court did not review the interference theory because subsequent to Carparts, that theory had been rejected in the First Circuit.
6. The issue of who is an employer will only be rarely resolved on a motion to dismiss.
The ADA does contain a safe harbor for insurers stating that title I of the ADA is not to be construed to prohibit or restrict an organization covered by the ADA from administering the terms of a bona fide benefit plan not subject to state laws regulating insurance. However, the court wasn't buying it because the plaintiff was not alleging a problem with the administration of the plan, rather she was alleging that Aetna discriminated against her on the basis of disability as an employer because Bank of America delegated to Aetna certain personnel functions normally handled by an employer, such as whether an employee's disability justified the leave of absence and whether Bank of America should accommodate the disability. Further, once Aetna made that decision, it refused to engage in the interactive process. All of these are employer issues and not issues pertaining to administration of the benefit plan.
1. For those third-party administrators that may be reading this blog, this case could be a real wake-up call. True, the decision is unpublished, but even so, depending upon the jurisdiction, it could be quite persuasive. Also, as Karen Swenson mentions in the article referred to above, unpublished opinions do not have a significantly different likelihood from published opinions of being reversed by a Court of Appeals.
2. If you represent a third-party administrator and you want to prevent liability under title I of the ADA for decisions that you make regarding leave and reasonable accommodations, make sure that it is the employer that has the final responsibility for those decisions. Also, the actual employer of the employee may want to think twice about slavishly following the decisions of third-party administrators in this area.
3. As we have seen many times before, failure to engage in the interactive process when placed on notice that a disability may be involved, is, from the employer perspective, a recipe for disaster and a boon for the plaintiff's attorney.
4. HR and legal counsel need to work closely together. In addition to that, as a matter of preventive law, a company may want to consider a policy were no employee is terminated except for cause, even if you are in an at will state, and not without review of legal counsel prior to termination. You may find that such a policy, as I found, will not only result in HR and legal counsel working more closely together but also will reduce outside counsel fees dramatically.
5. Of course, training by a person with expertise is always called for.
6. An employer and/or third party administrator needs to fully disclose just what are the requirements for getting FMLA leave or short-term or long-term disability benefits.

In a previous blog entry, the principle of sovereign immunity and how they might apply to a County was discussed. What wasn't discussed, was whether sovereign immunity would apply to a public university or public college. A case that addresses this is Doe v. Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, 280 Neb. 492, 788 N.W.2d 264 (2010). In this case, a medical student who was granted a leave of absence in order to receive treatment for depression, insomnia, and anxiety was eventually removed from the medical school after he returned from that leave of absence and things continued to not go well. Id. at 496-497. He brought suit alleging fraudulent concealment, disability discrimination, violation of his due process rights, and breach of contract. See Id. at 497.
The court had several issues before it, but for our purposes the issue to focus on is whether the University of Nebraska could successfully claim immunity under the 11th amendment to the plaintiff's suit for disability discrimination. As has been noted when it comes to employment, states and arms of the states are going to have to specifically consent to being sued as sovereign immunity principles apply. However, as mentioned previously, when it comes to suing under title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, whether sovereign immunity principles apply is a very fact specific situation. As discussed previously, if a fundamental right is involved, then the state or, the state is not going to be able to successfully claim sovereign immunity. Thus, there are two questions. First, is a fundamental right involved? If a fundamental right is not involved, does that mean that the state or arm of the state automatically gets to claim sovereign immunity? Is education a fundamental right?
The Nebraska Supreme Court said that education is not a fundamental right. Id. at 521. However, as mentioned above, that doesn't answer the question as to whether the state still has the right to claim sovereign immunity. The Nebraska Supreme Court concluded that even though education is not a fundamental right, the University of Nebraska still could not claim sovereign immunity with respect to a title II of the ADA suit. Id. They reasoned as followed. First, one of the things that United States Supreme Court did after deciding Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509 (2004), was to vacate several title II decision and remand them for reconsideration in light of that decision, including one from the Sixth Circuit concluding that sovereign immunity barred a student's title II claim against the University. Id. at 520.
Second, the Nebraska Supreme Court relied on a case from the First Circuit in which they noted that there was a widespread pattern of state's unconstitutionally excluding disabled children from public education and irrationally discriminating against disabled students within schools. See Id. at 522.
Third, under the cases interpreting Lane, the judicial decisions, statutes, and personal antidotes collected by the Congressional task force that indicated general history of discrimination of public education were sufficient to support the title II scheme. Id.
Fourth, the title II scheme was a narrow remedy to redress discrimination in education because: title II protects only qualified individuals with disabilities; a person must still meet the essential eligibility requirements of the program or activity regardless of disability; schools and universities are not required under title II to undertake any measures imposing undue financial or administrative burden or threatened historic preservation interest; and a school or university is not required to fundamentally alter the nature of the program or activity. Doe v. Board of Regents of the University Nebraska 788 N.W.2d at 523-524 citing to Toledo v. Sanchez 454 F.3d at 39. Accordingly, the title II scheme is a justified as a reasonably targeted system to prevent a persistent pattern of exclusion and irrational treatment of disabled students in public education especially when compared against the consequences of the harm from such discrimination. Id.
Preventive tips: If you are public entity, the very first thing you want to do is check to see whether the state that you are in has explicitly waived its sovereign immunity with respect to title II claims of the ADA. Illinois for example, has waived sovereign immunity with respect to ADA suits but not in all cases. See 745 I.L.C.S. 5/1.5(d) (Westlaw, Current through P.A. 97-1132 of the 2012 Reg. Sess.).
Second, if you are public entity and find that the state has not waived its sovereign immunity with respect to title II of the ADA lawsuits, feel free to argue that sovereign immunity prevents the lawsuit since the Nebraska Supreme Court is definitely not the last word we are going to see on the subject. For example, see Doe v. Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, 429 F. Supp. 2d 930 (N.D. Ill. 2006), for a contrary view.
Third, if you are student with a disability or are representing a student with a disability, it would be very helpful to compile an extensive dossier of any discrimination faced by students with disabilities in education by the states over time. See Toledo v. Sanchez 454 F.3d 24, 35 (1st Cir. 2006). The more you can find as a plaintiff , the better your ability is going to be to be able to argue that the title II of the ADA scheme is a proportionate response to the discrimination meant to be redressed. Another thing a plaintiff would want to do would be to be sure to exhaust the school or university's administrative process.
Fourth, the plaintiff might want to consider filing a claim with the Department of Justice. On the public entity's side, as discussed previously, preventive systems are always best. Sure, you may win on a sovereign immunity grounds, but winning on such a ground doesn't do anything for University or college's image as a University or college that is amenable to persons with disabilities. Sovereign immunity litigation is also no doubt expensive. A grievance procedure/system that allows a full airing of the opinion with neutral and informed deciders is always recommended. If the public entity loses on sovereign immunity grounds, then a comprehensive and fair grievance system will go a long way towards ultimately winning the dispute as courts are extremely hesitant to overturn academic decisions in general, and especially where they are the result of a comprehensive and fair airing of the grievance.
Fifth, if you are a plaintiff or a person representing one, you may also want to have a claim against the public educational institution alleging violation of § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Having such a claim would allow you to argue that sovereign immunity was waived since the public entity in all probability receives federal funds and Congress made it a condition of receiving federal funds that the states waive their sovereign immunity. See Doe v. Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois 429 F. Supp. 2d at 940. The Rehabilitation Act and the ADA are extremely similar, which makes sense since the ADA was based upon the Rehabilitation Act. However, § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act does contain "sole cause," language whereas title II of the ADA contains, "by reason of" language. Accordingly, it is possible that causation under the two acts may be different even though substantively they are otherwise the same.
Sixth, keep in mind, that sovereign immunity is not going to apply if you have a claim for prospective relief. Thus, a claim for injunctive relief could be very handy if you are plaintiff or are representing one.See Doe v. Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois 429 F. Supp. 2d at 940-941.
Finally, since you are seeing courts split on this, look for the question of whether Congress validly abrogated the states sovereign immunity with respect to title II of the ADA to eventually wind up before the United States Supreme Court.

Must the Internet be accessible to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act?
June 23, 2012 by William Goren 9 Comments
I have written over the years several times about the Internet and whether it needs to be accessible to persons with disabilities. That discussion appears in my book. I also wrote an article on whether colleges and universities home pages need to be accessible to people with disabilities. Finally, I wrote an article on whether law firms must have their website be such so that they are accessible to people with disabilities. As mentioned in those articles, there are several lines of thought on this. First, one line of thought is that the ADA applies in electronic space ( Doe v. Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company 179 F.3d 557 (seventh circuit 1999). Second, another line of thought is that the ADA only applies in physical space ( Access Now, Inc. v. Southwest Airlines Company 227 F. Supp. 2d 1312 (S.D. Fla. 2002). A third line of thought Is that the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to the Internet where the Internet is a gateway to a brick-and-mortar store. ( See National Federation of the Blind v. Target Corporation 452 F. Supp. 2d 946 (N.D. Cal. 2006)).
So what about if you're watching a Netflix movie and the movie is not closed-captioned. I personally have faced this. While I have not watched Netflix in the streaming content, I have watched it on DVD. There are many DVDs that are not close captioned. This makes it very difficult for me to view the movie. Would this be subject to a violation of the ADA claim? That is, would the ADA force Netflix to close caption its DVDs? What if you watch the movies by streaming, would the ADA force Netflix to make sure that the streaming was close captioned? How does that play with the recently signed 21st-Century Communication Video Accessibility Act of 2010, which says that things shown on TV and then migrate to the Internet must be close captioned after a certain date.
A case that addresses all these questions is National Association of the Deaf v. Netflix, Inc. , 2012 WL 2343666 (D. Mass. June 19, 2012). In this case, a deaf person, the National Association of the Deaf and the National Association of the Deaf's Massachusetts affiliate brought suit against Netflix alleging that its streaming, which was not close captioned, violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The defendant responded that the Americans with Disabilities Act was not violated and that the Americans with Disabilities Act was preempted by the 21st-Century Communication Video Accessibility Act of 2010.
The court was having none of these arguments. First, the court said that the ADA was meant to evolve with technology. Second, the court read the categories of what is a place of public accommodations and assumed they applied in the context of the Internet regardless of how the product of the business is consumed because the ADA covers the services "of" a place of public accommodation and not services "at" or "in" a place of public accommodation. National Association of the Deaf 2012 WL 2343666, at *4 (The National Federation of the Blind case made the same argument). For example, Netflix could well be a service establishment because it provides customers with the ability to stream video programming through the Internet. It could also be a place of exhibition or entertainment because it displays movies, television program and other content. Finally, it could be a rental establishment because it engages customers to pay for the rental of video programming (Id. at At *3). In other words, there is no reason why these categories could not apply in electronic space.
A business entity sued for not being accessible in accordance with its obligations as a place of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act must also be the entity that owns the place that is being sued. Netflix claimed that it was not such an entity. However, Netflix did admit that it was working to provide captioning for the content on it streaming service. That was enough for the court to say that Netflix had some degree of control over the situation. Id. at *5.
Finally, the defendant tried to claim that the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 precluded claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and/or conflicted with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The court was having none of this either. Nothing in the 21st-century Communications Act suggested that that Act preempted the Americans with Disabilities Act. Further, the court saw no conflict between the two acts because the scope of the 21st-century Communications Act is fairly narrow. That is, that act requires captioning of things originally shown on TV that make its way to the Internet after a certain date. Much of that may not even be applicable to the Netflix situation. Id. at **6-10.
So what does this all mean? It means that disability rights advocates have now been given the green light to think beyond the three traditional lines of thought that had previously existed on whether an Internet site could be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act. It also means, that defendants must be aware that their exclusively online businesses even if they don't fit the traditional lines of thought that existed previously, may now be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act. This case is significant because of the new approach that it takes. That is, it just assumes that businesses are places of public accommodations if they are exclusively on the Internet providing they are doing what places of public accommodations listed in the Americans with Disabilities Act would be doing if they were in physical space.
All this said, it isn't that complicated to have your website accessible to persons with disabilities (find someone familiar with Section 508 standards). It also makes good business sense.
Update: Many times, blogs will talk about the same cases. There is not a problem so long as a variety of perspectives are offered. This particular case came to me courtesy of the Seyfarth Shaw blog that is on my blogroll. It is Cullen v. Netflix, Inc. 2012 WL 2906245 (N.D. Cal. July 13, 2012). This particular case was identical on its facts to the Massachusetts case discussed above. The only difference being that it was a suit under the California Unruh's Civil Rights Act and the California's Disabled Person's Act. In this case, the Northern District of California said that for the Americans with Disabilities Act to apply, a physical space must be involved. They did note the Massachusetts case above as well as the Seventh Circuit case, which as noted above had held, in dicta, that the ADA applies to electronic space. They also acknowledged The National Federation of the Blind case where a District Court in California said that the ADA applied where the Internet was a gateway to a brick-and-mortar store (no such gateway existed with Netflix). Also discussed in this case was whether the plaintiff had an independent cause of action under the California Unruh's Civil Rights Act. That particular act is tied into the ADA. However, a separate cause of action independent of the ADA is allowable if intentional discrimination exists. However, the court found that no such intentional discrimination existed, and therefore, the claims under the California Unruh's Civil Rights Act had to be dismissed.
In short, this question is undoubtedly headed to the United States Supreme Court. It would make sense for the plaintiff to appeal this case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for a couple of different reasons. First, if it doesn't lead to a reversal (for example, an adoption of the reasoning in the Massachusetts case), it could lead to an affirmation that the Americans with Disabilities Act applies where the Internet is a gateway to a brick-and-mortar store. Second, since the National Federation of the Blind v. Target case is a U.S. District court case, the Ninth Circuit would have the opportunity to address that case directly. Third, if the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to physical space only, perhaps also allowing for the gateway, that would set up a conflict with the Massachusetts case, assuming that case was affirmed by the First Circuit. Of course, the Massachusetts case could be appealed to the first circuit and it is possible that the first circuit might agree with the District Court decision in the California case. No doubt, be on the lookout for further developments.
What is a business to do? From a preventive law standpoint, it makes sense for the business to go about its business as if the Americans with Disabilities Act applied to the Internet. That also may be good business sense as it increases the customer base for the business. However, a business would be perfectly justified in taking the position that the Americans with Disabilities Act does not apply where the business is strictly on the Internet. Ultimately, this will probably be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court. If the personnel is the same by the time this case reaches the U.S. Supreme Court it is hard to say how the case would go. Previously, the swing vote in Americans with Disabilities Act cases with Justice O'Connor (compare Tennessee v. Lane with Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama v. Garrett). Before Justice Alito assumed his position on U.S. Supreme Court, his Americans with Disabilities Act cases were pretty much a literal interpretation of the Americans with Disabilities Act as applied to the facts. Of course, it is entirely possible that the composition of the court will have changed by the time this case gets there.

CO-Runner: Tanya climbs a 14er!
I've been trying for some time now to get Tanya to climb a 14er with me. Initially, I got the "not in a million years" response. Well, as you can see I finally got her to stand at 14K feet with me. Sure she drove up and hiked the last 130 feet...that doesn't matter. What matters is that she has caught the bug and felt that amazing feeling of standing on "top of the world".
I'm even more excited because she has tentatively agreed to hike a 14er with me this summer! Plans are still in the works, but it will be so cool to climb one together.


Children are naturally creative, I find that observing my kids make things, tell stories around their creations and getting to experience their world through their play and creativity is a way of getting to know them in a very deep and meaningful way. Drawing, painting, mark making in general is such an important and fun part of their development, from learning to hold and handle a pen, to the brain-hand connection that helps them process their stories and information in a way a tablet doesn't, is significant.
One of the things I am really fascinated by, both for myself and my family, but also for work, is neuroplasticity. It is how our thoughts, actions, experiences and relationships physically change our brains, and the way we think. How our brains can be rewired and our triggers and reactions changed. I am so interested and inspired by relationships between people, energies and objects and I think it's pretty amazing how we throughout our lives can rewire our brains. Imagine the possibilities.
I have a friend that I love very much. Her name is Cara and she is a visual communicator and facilitator, and she told me something that I really loved. When you work visually, like doodle or draw something, or express yourself visually, your brain lights up in a completely different way than if you are just reading, or listening to something. And you process information more efficiently if you are doodling while listening, did you know that? I didn't, but I like it. That is one reason that we ask you to incorporate a visual element at the end of the client intake when hiring a nanny, through your drawing or making of the avatar we get a lot of information about who you are and what you like, in a way we don't with a questionnaire.
Allowing space for creativity and visual thinking makes better results because it goes deeper.
ps. If you are curious about that visual in the intake and you are looking to hire a nanny you can get started here.

IODPA Admin 2019-07-29 2019-11-18 Testimonial
Ray is 56 years old, married and father to two adult children.
Following two duty motorcycle collisions in the late 1990's, he required emergency spinal surgery and was eventually medically retired from the Police due to these injuries in June 2000.
His injuries were assessed to reduce his earning potential by 32% and he was given an injury pension based on that.
In 2002, his injury pension was reviewed and as there was no change in his condition it was left unaltered.
In 2004, his injury pension was reviewed again. This time, although it was stated that there was no medical change in his injury, his assessed earning potential disablement was reduced to 0% and his injury pension reduced to the lowest possible level.
Since his pension was reduced to the lowest possible level, he has not been called back to be reviewed again.
The justification given for the injury pension reduction was that, since medical retirement, he had been fully employed in a new career which made use of his engineering qualifications and knowledge, qualifications and experience as a traffic patrol officer.
He did well in his new career quickly progressing into a management position.
As his actual earnings had risen to a similar level to his previous police salary, it was decided that his earnings were no longer adversely affected by his injury.
In about 2016, he found out about the Injured On Duty Pensioners Association (IODPA).
Having studied their blogs and discussed his situation with other members he soon realised that the justification for his pension reduction was based on an incorrect interpretation of the Police Injury Pension Regulations.
The regulations require an assessment of uninjured earning potential based on ALL of the individual's qualifications and experience which must be compared to realistic injured earning potential.
The 2004 review did not look at his skills and qualifications gained before and during his police career or make any comparison between his injured and uninjured earning potential, but merely showed his actual earnings were comparable to his old police pay.
The Police Federation funded a specialist solicitor to write to his former police employer, detailing judicial reviews which demonstrated that the 2004 review was contrary to the regulations.
A few months later, he received over 13 years worth of injury pension underpayment with interest and was reinstated at his previous level of injury award.
Unfortunately his back has now deteriorated to a point where he cannot walk up or down stairs, he can only walk short distances slowly using crutches and cannot sit upright for more than about an hour.
As a result of this deterioration in his duty injury his new employer ended his career last year, following a report from an Occupational Physician who found that as a result of his spinal injury that he is now unfit for any work of any description.
This doctors report renders him unemployable, so effectively his earnings disablement should now be 100%.
He knows that being unemployed and on the lowest level of injury pension, he would have struggled to pay his bills and so is very grateful that IODPA were able to provide him with knowledge and support, so that he received what he is entitled to.
He hopes that this article will help to spread the message to injured officers and those who know injured officers, that IODPA may be able to help those who are unaware of their rights under the injury pension regulations.
He would also like to express his thanks to the Police Federation for funding a solicitor with specialist knowledge of the judicial reviews and regulations governing police pensions who were able resolve the situation for him.

The L-Lactic Acid Test Kit is intended for measuring the L-lactic acid in wines to ensure that malolactic fermentation has begun. The product, with a test range of 10 - 400 mg/L, can also be used to screen for high levels of contamination by lactic acid bacteria. The test kits contain the number tests and samplers that correspond to the size of the kit.


Mitsubishi CP-D70DW Driver Download. The sublimation printer Mitsubishi CP-D70DW produces lab-quality photos and up to size 15 x 23 cm. The clear, color-sensitive prints look natural and brilliant, because with new image processing mechanisms it ensures sharp transitions and clean edges. In a hurry, there is the CP-D707DW rapid variation. The thermal sublimation printers, which transfer their color onto the paper from a film in gaseous form, are popular for their photoreal output.
Unlike inkjet printers, which create the impression of color nuances by screening their printing ink, the thermal sublimation printer can dose its ink application and thus produces lab-quality photos with lower print resolution. One advantage is that the printing costs can be clearly quantified, since a fixed amount of the printing ink sheet and a sheet of paper are consumed per print. The thermal sublimation printer also eliminates the annoying, time-consuming and ink-consuming nozzle cleaning, which makes inkjet printing so cumbersome.
The two printers from Mitsubishi print photos with a resolution of 300 dpi and offer four different formats (10 x 15, 13 x 18, 15 x 20 and 15 x 23 cm). Both models have already been introduced this summer, but now they have a printer driver for Mac OS X "which is now also suitable for photographers". The larger model is the D707DW, which consists of two superimposed printing units. These complement each other and thus enable a faster pressure. While the compact D70DW for a 10x15cm print needs about 8.4 seconds, the D707DW manages in 5.9 seconds.
The compact, more cost-effective CP-D70DW (left) and the CP-D707DW offer identical characteristics up to print speed and dimensions. This Mitsubishi CP-D70DW printer has fast printing: 8.4 seconds for 10 x 15 cm (D70DW: 5.9 seconds) in 4 printing formats: 10 x 15, 13 x 18, 15 x 20 and 15 x 23 cm with space-saving dimensions: (275 x 446 x 170 mm). Dust-free prints thanks to innovative ventilation technology also easy and fast handling.


Never seen one episode... but maybe they get found?
Desmond, Jack, and Evil Locke all went to the light source. Desmond unplugged the light and the island started to sink. A side-effect of the light going out was that Jack and Evil Locke became mortal. After a fight where Jack was stabbed, Kate shot Locke and killed him.
Hurley took Jack's place as the island's protector with Ben as his advisor. Jack died in the bamboo forest where he woke up in episode 1. Kate, Claire, Sawyer, Richard, Lepetis, and Miles escaped on a plane.
It's not pointed out, but Rose and Bernard also were left on the island.
The "side flashes" this season were the "ideal lives" of the Oceanic survivors. They were all dead inside this "reality", just waiting for the moment when they would remember their former lives and pass on to the next stage in the afterlife. Which they did at the end of the episode.
The more I think about it, the more I like the ending, and I liked it right off the bat.
Coolio. One of these days I'll get around to watching it.

A ten percentage point increase in recovery rates* for people experiencing anxiety and depression has been achieved thanks to the work of the Oxford Academic Health Science Network Anxiety and Depression Clinical Network.
£755,494 saved for the NHS taking account of extra staff training costs.
Based on a review of patients who had not fully recovered, it was agreed that a new approach was needed to further improve outcomes for people experiencing anxiety and depression. This was based on a commitment to continuous performance improvement with patients routinely receiving the best treatment at first point of contact. The Oxford Academic Health Science Network Anxiety and Depression Clinical Network focused on collecting comprehensive data, accessing high quality research, identifying patient outcome themes and putting the right staff training in place. They built on links with existing networks, particularly IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) services which see 19,000 patients a year in the Oxford AHSN region. A critical element was regular workshops to share innovation, best practice and latest research – as well as making time for hands-on training.
The success in improving recovery rates has led to a number of national plaudits from the NHS and government. David Clark, the Oxford Academic Health Science Network Anxiety and Depression Clinical Network Clinical Lead (Adults), is leading a national mental health information network and the services within the Oxford AHSN region are running workshops across the country at the request of NHS England to share the secrets of their success.
The approach is ongoing with a commitment to achieve further improvements in recovery rates.
* Recovery rate = by the end of treatment the patient has dropped below the clinical/non-clinical threshold for both anxiety and depression.

Michael Crichton's Lies Have Kept Us From a Real Dinosaur Park
'Jurassic Park' could have worked, dammit — and here's proof
If you've seen the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park a few times, you surely remember a line from Dr. Ian Malcolm, the pessimistic chaos theory expert played by the magnificently odd Jeff Goldblum. It is, more or less, the cautionary thesis of the film (and of the Michael Crichton book it's based on, in which Malcolm delivers rather the same opinion): "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
That is, the dream of cloning dinosaurs from their preserved DNA for an island nature preserve and theme park was never interrogated on its own merits, and many of the risks went unforeseen as it became reality. A 25-year franchise later, we've seen the risks realized plenty of times: the only rule of the movies is that at some point, the dinosaurs will break loose and start eating people.
But despite this recycled warning — or perhaps because it's been hammered into us — I've grown suspicious of Malcolm's argument. When I now ask myself whether we should try to raise dinosaurs in captivity for a tourist attraction, the answer is clear: Yes, of course. Absofuckinglutely.
How dare Michael Crichton — and then Steven Spielberg — inflict this admittedly entertaining anti-Jurassic Park propaganda on the world? Humankind had barely heard of genomics before these chicken littles were shouting, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T BIOENGINEER A BUNCH OF DINOSAURS! YOUR HUBRIS WILL COST LIVES!! With all due respect, sirs, get bent. Yes, I know Crichton is dead, but he can get bent all the same. He's the reason I still can't drop my life savings on an unforgettable vacation to a tropical island where I get to feed a brachiosaurus. What's worse, I spent my dinosaur-obsessed childhood accepting his alarmism as well-founded; he and Goldblum easily brainwashed me into believing that the resurrection of extinct species was the height of folly.
Absurd!
It was plain fear-mongering. An actual Jurassic Park would rule.
just don't let the dinosaurs escape. how fucking hard could it be https://t.co/hse1GYffC5
— Miles Klee (@MilesKlee) July 17, 2019
right like i am tired of going to the zoo to see a polar bear depressed that it's 80 degrees out. clone some goddamn dinos https://t.co/7L835jtIOC
Look, I get it. Crichton's whole genre was "action-adventure resulting from science gone awry, with a dash of corporate greed and/or malfeasance." Without a disaster, there is no story, no bestseller, no big-budget adaptation with cool special effects. He couldn't very well write a novel about a dinosaur zoo where everyone has a great time and buys nice souvenirs — even though this is roughly a billion times more plausible.
You doubt it? Then ask yourself how Jurassic Park fell apart. One supposed issue was that some dinosaurs, though bred to be female, had spontaneously switched sex and were starting to mate. Who cares. Another: The velociraptors were too smart and more aggressive than expected. Well, if anyone had listened to Robert Muldoon, the game warden — a guy I'm fairly sure was drawing a decent salary for exactly this kind of advice — the raptors would have been destroyed. That leaves us with the character, motive and MacGuffin most responsible for the mayhem in Jurassic Park: Dennis Nedry, the employee who sabotages the security systems to steal embryos for a rival biogenetics company.
Nedry is a hilarious presence — unsurprising, as Wayne Knight is one of the finest comedic talents of his generation — but in terms of plot, it's a wild stretch to suppose he'd ever have the opportunity to go rogue and bring down the whole enterprise. Even then, he might have the ounce of self-preservational instinct necessary to not release hordes of deadly animals throughout an island on which he is also currently trapped. Anyway, we're led to think that John Hammond, the park's jolly old financier, laid out a few billion dollars for his pet project ("Spared no expense!") but got stingy when it came to hiring programmers to automate it, eventually winding up with only two guys in the control room on the dark and stormy night he's running a proof of concept to assure his nervous investors that everything works just fine: an exhausted, chain-smoking Samuel L. Jackson, and Nedry, who snacks and whines that he's underpaid.
Give me a goddamn break.
Why is Nedry still around at this stage in the game? Hammond doesn't even like him! Also, dude can afford any coder in the known universe. "Oh, sure, Miles," you protest, "it's easy to see his mistake in hindsight, but the point of chaos theory…" No. Shut up. The only blunder more avoidable than giving complete control of the park to a selfish, not very bright asshole — something Hammond freely admits he did — was when the characters in Jurassic World thought their new giant killer dino had climbed out of its pen and decided to OPEN THE DOOR AND WALK INSIDE TO LOOK AROUND FOR IT, at which point it de-camouflaged and barreled straight out the exit.
Nonetheless, when Hammond starts to talk about how he could try to fix Jurassic Park and learn from a bad experience, Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) tells him that's dumb, that his vision was a sham, and basically, that he's responsible for a slew of deaths. She's right that he was blinded by ambition, but saying the concept could never be ironed out? Come on. Not even the characters of this fictional universe believe that — Jurassic World is the proof.
You'll excuse me, then, if I don't view the five Jurassic movies as evidence that we should never attempt to create the type of attraction doomed to fail in their tired narrative. If anything, we have the advantage of observing within them every potential idiotic human interaction with dinosaurs. We have glimpsed the worst-case scenarios, and we still want a Jurassic Park. Do a couple of accidents on roller coasters stop us from riding them? Of course not. And honestly, who are you going to trust — me, a professional shitposter, or Crichton, who spent his late career denying climate change?
By the way, he's the reason we can't have robot cowboys, either. I swear the guy never wanted us to have any amusement parks besides Disneyland. So let us break free of his tyrannical imagination and bring dinosaurs back to life. Assuming, uh, we can figure out how.

PCMag UK | Reviews | Input Devices | Computer Mice | Review
By Joel Santo Domingo Oct 30, 2015
Rechargeable battery. Multitouch surface. Good for both left- and right-handed use. Automatically pairs with Macs via Bluetooth. Ships with Lightning-to-USB cable.
Requires OS X El Capitan or later. Cannot use the mouse while it is charging. Shallow design doesn't fill the curve of your hand.
The Apple Magic Mouse 2 looks and feels the same as its predecessor, and now comes with rechargeable batteries. Its minimalist design may not be comfortable for everyone, however, and the Lightning port isn't in the best location.
One of the biggest gripes that Mac users have with the Apple Magic Mouse is its relatively short battery life. It isn't unheard of to find the mouse needing new cells in as little as four weeks, which means you're burning through a lot of AA batteries. Apple has heard the plight of its users, and introduces the Magic Mouse 2 as standard equipment for new iMacs, including the latest Apple iMac 21.5-inch with 4K Retina display. Upgrades include rechargeable batteries and an idiot-proof pairing process. It's certainly an improvement over the previous iteration, though at $79 (if you buy it on its own), it is $10 more expensive.
Design and Features
Side by side, the Magic Mouse 2 looks just like the Apple Magic Mouse, with the same white, polycarbonate, arched profile. It's 0.85 inch tall, which is an almost-imperceptible 0.1-inch difference from the older model, and less than a quarter-ounce heavier at 3.52 ounces. It glides on a pair of low-friction strips, tracking just as smoothly as the last Magic Mouse. The optical sensor on the bottom reacts quickly to movements, and you can adjust sensitivity and tracking in the Mouse system preferences on your Mac.

"This story had me sucked in on page one and kept me up until 4a.m. reading. I guarantee once you pick up this book you will not want to put it down!"
"...continues on with the fabulous, descriptive writing style readers have come to enjoy through Brenda's Talisman series. Readers will easily dive into this story!"
"With Everblue , Brenda Pandos presents wonderfully imaginative world building, well rounded character development and a perfect timing for establishing conflict, which all helps to create a treasure of a tale that proves her talent and will do much to further establish her footing in this highly competitive industry."
"Recently there have been quite a few mermaid themed YA books released, but Everblue tops the charts! The story was absolutely captivating!"
"... this is not your typical mermaid story, especially seeing as the mermaid it is about isn't a mermaid at all. He is a merman. I have never read a book written from the point-of-view of a merman and it was very refreshing. Seeing the underwater life through the eyes of a guy is not something I thought I would enjoy but it was really interesting."
"Everblue is not my first mermaid book that I've read. Everblue is the first Mermaid story I loved though."
"I have heard about Mermaid/Mer people books in the blogosphere but hadn't read one ever... I wasn't sure what to expect but Everblue definitely surprised me positively."
Week one of the tour has commenced and it's been a nail bitter for me. The desires for each book are the same: a page-turner, something (mostly) original, adoration for the characters, a believable story. It's the fun and hard part of writing and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. I know my story won't resonate with everyone, but when it comes down to it, I like writing and want to provide something people like to read, plain and simple. Whew... glad I got that off my chest.
"I knew going into this that I'd probably like it, as Pandos has shown that she's got the ability to craft a really good story. And this one, wow. Even better than I'd expected. "
"I love this book. It's a sweet escape with lovable characters, especially the adorable Fin. "
"Overall, I very much enjoyed Everblue. Brenda is awesome at weaving a story together and making you feel like you're there with the characters. And while I might not have liked all the characters or elements in Everblue, I felt engaged as a reader and really, that's more important to me."
"...an excellent choice for many teens as the struggles the kids go through are pretty similar to what they may be going through. That time of life is one where things you believe are true change as you comprehend how the world really works. It's kind of funny that fantasy is a place to work it out but maybe it is exactly the fantastic aspect that allows kids the room to do so without their own world being threatened."
Eleni, my friend since the beginning of my writing career and fabulous supporter of my work, touched my heart with her review. Thank you for hosting!!
"The dual narrative that was going on between Ashlyn and Fin created a great balance for both stories. It helped me connect with the human side of things, while also losing myself in the fantastical sea world. Overall, it was a delightful mer tale that will leave you wanting the sequel! "
"I just adored this book. I loved the creativeness of the world, how it's told from duel viewpoints, the romance, the friendships, I just loved it all. Being able to be inside Fin and Ash's head and follow each of their stories was just brilliantly done."
And she was the first to comment on the fin at the end of the E of Everblue. Extra cookies for her!
Thank you, ladies for your insight and reflections! I'm so honored you'd take the time to comment on my latest story!
I'm borrowing this idea from my good friend and author Kristie Cook. First, I'm super excited to be able to sign Kindle copies now at kindlegraph.com and would love to see where else my babies have found homes.

Q: JavaFX: Populating TableView with data from different classes I am creating an application that have different classes such as User, Product, Donor and Car. Each of these classes stores relevant information to be shown in a JavaFX TableView – the User class having a String name and int userID for instance.
I collect all of these in a class called Data that takes the above mentioned classes and stores them. I end up with an ArrayList<Data> where each index stores the four classes above.
If I make an ObservableArrayList based on the ArrayList<Data> how do I retrieve the information from each class stored in the Data class? I am following Oracle's own tutorial here, but it only accounts for a case where you want to store a single class' information.
Thanks!

A: The tutorial you mention uses a PropertyValueFactory.  That is not applicable here as that only introspects on a given class, but if you look at the documentation for that class it includes the following long form:
TableColumn<Person,String> firstNameCol = new TableColumn<Person,String>("First Name");
firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory(new Callback<CellDataFeatures<Person, String>, ObservableValue<String>>() {
     public ObservableValue<String> call(CellDataFeatures<Person, String> p) {
         // p.getValue() returns the Person instance for a particular TableView row
         return p.getValue().firstNameProperty();
     }
  });
}

So you can use the same concept with your data class to retrieve the appropriate field from the user object of the data object:
firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory(new Callback<CellDataFeatures<Data, String>, ObservableValue<String>>() {
     public ObservableValue<String> call(CellDataFeatures<Data, String> data) {
         // data.getValue() returns the Data instance for a particular TableView row
         return data.getValue().getUser().firstNameProperty();
     }
  });
}

Some of the ugliness can be removed if you use Java 8 lambdas.
If your user object doesn't have property accessors for the values, but only getters, you can wrap the result in a ReadOnlyObjectWrapper as described in the PropertyValueFactory documentation:
return new ReadOnlyObjectWrapper(data.getValue().getUser().getFirstName());

This is fine if your table is not editable and you don't want the table data to change automatically If the underlying field changes, otherwise the property accessor based method is preferred.

Q: Weird
* height bug on Microsoft Edge with a "display: table" child element So I have this simple code which works perfectly on Chrome:

.section-sub-desc-list {
    margin: 0px;
    font-weight: normal;
    list-style-type: square;
}

.display-table {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
}

.display-table-cell {
    display: table-cell;
}

.time-interval {
    display: table-cell;
    width: 30%;
    text-align: right;
    font-style: italic;
    font-weight: normal;
}

Clicking the run button shows the expected result, but this is how it renders on Edge: image
The problem is the extra height that is added on the "li" tag but I don't know what is the cause of that and how would I go about fixing it.

A: Ok, I've been thinkering a little with the display property and I finally got it working on Edge as well.
This is the new code:

.section-sub-desc-list {
  margin: 0px;
  font-weight: normal;
  list-style-type: square;
}

.display-table {
  display: inline-flex;
  width: 100%;
}

.display-table-cell {
  width: 100%;
}

.time-interval {
  white-space: nowrap;
  text-align: right;
  font-style: italic;
  font-weight: normal;
}

Some remarks

*

*display: inline-flex; width: 100% on the wrapper div(display-table)
is the same thing as just writing display: flex. Why did I use the
inline-flex method? Because Edge still messes up the heights if I
just use the display: flex property on the wrapper, for some unknown reason.

*Using width: 100% on the B.S. Computer Science text div does not make it fill up the whole row, because we are now working with flex items, since the parent(display-table) is a flex container. At least this is how I think flex items work.

*I have used the white-space: nowrap property on the time interval text because it would wrap around for reasons unknown

I have a set of new JBW CRS wheels, the ones that look like steel 'S' wheels but are in fact alloy copies. They seem very well made and needed virtually no balance weights, and were supplied with chromed 'tall' wheel nuts and stainless steel hubcaps. On the car they look great, but the wheel nuts just catch on the hubcaps and leave a very small dent in the surface as a result.
I'm not sure standard bzp Mini radiused 3/8" UNF wheelnuts as supplied by Minispares will work safely with these wheels, as they are presumably designed for steels. The chrome nuts supplied by JBW have a larger radiused base to locate the 'chamfer' in the cast wheel.
Hope this works as the forum seems to have been virtually dead for the last year or so.
I think my fears for the forum may be true... it's not felt quite the same since it went to the 'big print' version!
Anyhow, I've turned down the nuts on the lathe so they clear the hubcaps. It's all a bit odd as JBW tell me they've sold loads of sets and supply Minispares but nobody else has noticed. There must be a lot of cars out there with a neat row of dings at a set radius in the hubcaps!
I'd have to say the wheels are excellent. Only one needed a very small balance weight, and the finish and look of them is superb. Best of all is that with the hubcaps fitted, they look very close to the standard wheels - you have to look closely to tell they're alloys. I was never totally happy with the Minilite look, as my car looks outwardly very stock, with a full-length Webasto, so these really suit it, I think.

Adam & Rowe are delighted to represent the new prints of Celia Paul and to announce the publication of nine new limited edition etchings.
The prints are available now and will form part of an exhibition, entitled Celia Paul: Prints and Small Works on Paper, at Enitharmon Editions in March 2015. They will be shown alongside a small selection of watercolours and drawings, some of which are observations of nature, sketched during Celia Paul's visits to Wales and Cambridgeshire.
These new soft-ground etchings are characterised by an intense feeling of light and atmosphere radiating from the complex tones of the medium. As with many of Celia Paul's recent paintings, they represent something of a departure for the artist in their focus on the places where she lives and works. The British Museum and the plane tree are visible from Celia Paul's studio in one direction and the spire of St George's from another and Waves is based on the coast around Lee Abbey in Devon.
The etchings have been printed by Paupers Press, Hoxton, London in a small limited edition of 15 on Somerset 300 gsm soft white paper. Each print is priced at £500 +Vat.
The exhibition will take place at Enitharmon Editions in March 2015. Enitharmon is a renowned independent literary press situated adjacent to the London Review of Books in Bloomsbury, which specialises in publishing artists' books and poetry.
There will be a fully illustrated catalogue with a new poem by Dr Rowan Williams inspired by the prints.
