Reporting Patient Injuries to Law Enforcement: It's Not Just Gunshot Wounds
By Oleg Drozdowski
Health Information & Records, Public Health
Author Name: Jill Moore
Here at the School of Government, we get a lot of questions about disclosing medical records or information to law enforcement officials. Often the question arises when a law enforcement official appears at a health care facility and presents a search warrant or court order for the information, a situation my colleague Jeff Welty has written about on the SOG's North Carolina Criminal Law blog. But disclosure of medical information is not always initiated by law enforcement. Sometimes a health care provider treats a patient for an injury or illness, such as a gunshot or stab wound, that suggests a violent crime has occurred. Law enforcement may not be aware of these situations unless someone tells them. Therefore, North Carolina has a statute (G.S. 90-21.20) that requires health care providers to notify local law enforcement officials when they treat patients with particular injuries or illnesses.
The statute has two subsections that address the types of injuries and illnesses that must be reported—one that applies to all patients, and one that applies only to patients who are minor children. Subsection (b) identifies the injuries and illnesses that must be reported regardless of the patient's age. Subsection (c1) describes the additional circumstances in which a report is required if the patient is a minor child. This post summarizes the provisions of each section and then addresses some frequently asked questions.
Injury or Illness Potentially Caused by a Criminal Act [G.S. 90-21.20(b)]
A physician or administrator of a health care facility must report:
Gunshot wounds and any other injuries caused or apparently caused by the discharge of a firearm
Illnesses caused by poisoning
Wounds or injuries caused or apparently caused by a knife or sharp or pointed instrument, if it appears to the treating physician that a criminal act was involved
Wounds, injuries, or illnesses "in which there is grave bodily harm or grave illness if it appears to the physician or surgeon treating the case that the wound, injury or illness resulted from a criminal act of violence"
The report must be made to local law enforcement officials—the police department for the city in which the treatment occurred, or if the treatment occurs outside city limits, the county sheriff's department. The law does not specify how the report is to be made, but it requires that the report be made "as soon as it becomes practicable before, during or after completion of treatment." This suggests to me that a telephone call would be both appropriate and preferable to a written report. The information to be reported is specified (and limited to): the patient's name (if known), age, sex, race, residence or present location (if known), and the character and extent of the patient's injuries.
A physician or administrator who makes a report required by this section in good faith is immune from any civil or criminal liability that might otherwise arise under state law as a result of the disclosure of information.
Nonaccidental Recurrent Illness or Serious Physical Injury to a Child [G.S. 90-21.20(c1)]
The reports required by subsection (b) apply to all patients regardless of age. Subsection (c1) imposes an additional reporting requirement that applies only if the patient is a child under the age of 18. This subsection requires a physician or administrator to make a report if a child who is treated has a recurrent illness or serious physical injury that, in the physician's professional judgment, is the result of nonaccidental trauma.
The report must be made to local law enforcement officials—the police department for the city in which the treatment occurred, or if the treatment occurs outside city limits, the county sheriff's department. The law does not specify how the report is to be made, but like the reporting requirement of subsection (b), it requires that the report be made as soon as practicable. The content of the report is not specified.
The law specifies that the report to law enforcement must be made in addition to any report that is made to the department of social services pursuant to G.S. 7B-301 (requiring all persons to report cause to suspect a child is abused, neglected, dependent, or has died as a result of maltreatment). In other words, a report to DSS alone does not suffice; the physician or facility administrator must also report to law enforcement.
The statute gives the required reporters immunity from liability under state law. What about HIPAA, a federal law?
The HIPAA privacy rule specifically permits reports to law enforcement that are required by law, including reports of wounds and injuries. 45 C.F.R. 164.512(f). HIPAA defines "required by law" to include state statutes that require disclosures of information, which captures G.S. 90-21.20. So long as the disclosure complies with the terms of the statute—is made in good faith, reports an injury or illness that is required to be reported, etc.—the disclosure is permitted by HIPAA.
What constitutes "grave bodily harm" or "grave illness" for purposes of the reports required by subsection (b)?
Those terms are undefined and no court of record has interpreted them. In practice, physicians exercise their clinical judgment in determining whether an illness or injury falls into this category. In my experience, they are generally comfortable with their determinations that a patient has suffered bodily harm or an illness, but they sometimes ask what is meant by "grave." Merriam-Webster defines the adjective "grave" as (among other things) "likely to produce great harm or danger." Grave bodily harm or illness must be reported only if the treating physician believes it resulted from a "criminal act of violence," another undefined term, but one that causes less angst. If the physician believes in good faith that the grave harm was the result of intentional violence, I think that is sufficient to trigger the duty to report.
Similarly, what constitutes "recurrent illness" or "serious physical injury" for purposes of the reports about children required by subsection (c1)?
These terms are also undefined and uninterpreted, so physicians exercise their clinical judgment. Going back to the dictionary, it's easy to conclude that a "recurrent illness" is an illness that returns or occurs repeatedly. Whether a physical injury is serious may be a more difficult determination, but I think it is useful to bear in mind that "serious physical injury" is also the term used in the N.C. juvenile code's definition of "abused juveniles" for purposes of determining whether a child is in need of protective services. See G.S. 7B-101(1). In my opinion, if a nonaccidental physical injury triggers the duty to make a report of suspected child abuse to DSS, a physician likely has good-faith cause to believe the injury is serious enough to trigger this separate duty to report to law enforcement.
Are health care providers required to report domestic violence to law enforcement?
It depends on the nature of the victim's injuries. Some states have laws that specifically require health care providers to report domestic violence. North Carolina does not have a law that requires reports of domestic violence per se, but some domestic violence cases result in injuries that fall under the reporting requirements of G.S. 90-21.20. If a domestic violence victim suffers an injury or illness described in the bulleted list above, the physician or facility administrator must report the injury to law enforcement.
Suppose a health care provider makes a report to law enforcement that is required by G.S. 90-21.20. Law enforcement officials determine they need additional information for their investigation. May the health care provider respond to law enforcement requests for additional information?
G.S. 90-21.20 does not authorize any further disclosures to law enforcement officials. It is possible further disclosures may be made, but authority for such disclosures must come from some source other than this statute, and it must be permitted by HIPAA as well. That's a whole other blog post, but you can read my outline summary of when local health departments may disclose information to law enforcement officials here.

One Response to "Reporting Patient Injuries to Law Enforcement: It's Not Just Gunshot Wounds"
The Penn State sexual abuse scandal has prompted me to ponder this (thankfully hypothetical) question: What if the acts described in the grand jury report occurred on a health care provider's premises–would confidentiality laws permit a report to law enforcement? The answer is clearly yes. It's possible the report would be required by the law described in this post, if the victim suffered one of the injuries that must be reported under subsection (b) or (c1). But even if there were no such injury, the health care provider could make a report to law enforcement under a provision of HIPAA that specifically addresses reports to law enforcement about crimes on the provider's premises. 45 CFR 164.512(f)(5) expressly permits a HIPAA-covered entity to disclose patient information if the covered entity believes in good faith that the information constitutes evidence of criminal conduct that occurred on the covered entity's premises.

Internet Traffic | New PR Words - and Music!
Yikes! It's the last day of May and to my horror I recognize that I haven't yet posted to my blog this month. Yesterday something I read really got me focused on this.
Fast forward to our online world and the formula holds true in spades. Hubspot — which put the oomph in Inbound Marketing — has done research that shows that businesses that blog get 55% more website traffic. And the more you blog the more traffic you get and the more opportunities to convert visitors to leads who will become customers by and by with proper nurturing.
Indeed I teach this to my clients and spend chunks of my billable time helping them to post regularly. All of a sudden I find myself suffering from Shoemaker's Child Syndrome. I know for a fact that my business will grow faster if I blog more, yet here I am scrambling to not have a goose egg next to my May archives.
It's not that I don't write. I co-author an article every month for WestFair Online and its Fairfield and Westchester County Business Journals. I began writing for Technorati this month and provided a guest post to Network Solutions. These kinds of efforts definitely contribute to a broader web presence which is good for getting found. But more consistent blogging will get me more traffic faster and – more important – provide better value to you the subscriber.
So, how did I get into this non-posting mode? In all honesty, the way I positioned my blog – as a music as well as information/experience-sharing venue – has made it difficult to be as spontaneous as I need to be to post more. As much as I love selecting just the right tune from my jazz collection to share with you as you read, it's very time consuming and I don't often have the time anymore.
With this post I'm changing the model. The blog is still called New PR Words and Music, and I'll still share music with you whenever I have the leisure. But when I'm pressed for time – which is most days – you'll get words and images. I vow to do my best to make them helpful for you and your business.
Many entrepreneurs have proved that trial and error — and flexibility – pave the path to success. What have you changed about your business or your life in general that's helped you to do better?
Today's tune – "Hearts Take Time" sung by blues/jazz vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur – refers to a romantic relationship gone wrong. This post is about the customer/client relationship online and how to begin and nurture it — starting with how not to.
Earlier this week, I received a Linked In invitation from an acquaintance who I know recently changed careers and is now in the financial services industry. I met her through someone I'm very close with and who has known her for many years.
She sent the invitation from her personal Linked In profile, which listed her by her nickname and gave her personal email address for contact. I like this person and promptly accepted her invitation.
Later the same day I received two emails in a row from her business email address. One informed me that she had added my email address to her marketing list and that I would be receiving information from time to time. The other was a sales message offering me products and services that I had never inquired about.
Both emails did have opt-out links. But that put me in the somewhat awkward position of letting this person know that I do not want to be contacted further about business.
She made the incorrect assumption that my accepting a Linked In invitation was an open invitation to be marketed to. My emotional response to that was very negative. I felt that it was a violation.
My reasons for connecting on Linked In are to widen my network, to refresh my memory about who I haven't been in touch with for too long, to learn and to share information. Many other reasons, too. None of them is to make myself a target for an unsolicited sales pitch. By the way, this goes for all social media I engage with. In addition to a breach of social media etiquette, this person at best showed lack of knowledge and at worst bad judgment, which does not inspire confidence.
If she had taken a different approach, there's a possibility that we might have done business together. She could have sent me a personal email asking whether I have any current needs in her area of expertise and/or pointing me in the direction of some info about her business offerings to build credibility in the event I knew of someone else who could benefit.
If I did indicate some level of interest, she could then use the opportunity to ask me to opt in to her list with the clear understanding that I could feel free to opt out at any time – that an opt-out would not have any impact on our personal relationship.
Even though it's well-known that permission-based marketing works best, business people regularly ignore this best practice. If you do so, recognize that you may very well permanently kill an opportunity to develop a meaningful business relationship – including ongoing referrals – over the longer term. Hearts take time!!
To celebrate the end of the week and get us groovin' into the weekend hit the play button for pianist Gene Harris' version of 'Put it Where You Want It'. More about why this selection at the end of the post. If you're getting this by email – visit the blog to listen.
In inbound marketing we encourage clients to imagine their important audiences as Buyer Personae – individual types with particular qualities, characteristics and personality traits. Subsequent marketing to buyer personae becomes more focused and resonates more authentically with customers and prospects.
Lately, in consulting with a number of small and mid-sized businesses, I've started formulating some thoughts about Brand Personalities. Beyond the visual identities/logos, and overarching brand promises/values that marketers work hard to put forth with consistency, brands have personalities.
Like humans, brand personalities are comprised of a variety of traits and behaviors that can and should be displayed appropriately depending upon the audience, the interaction and the venue.
A brand may be dead serious about R&D and product safety. It may be playful in marketing promotions and intellectually curious in establishing thought leadership. It might be daring – or risk averse. It could be an advocate for its employees and a kind neighbor that gives back through voluntarism or philanthropy. It could be a no-nonsense negotiator in protecting investor value.
Companies need to consider their own personality traits when establishing their online presence. The array of social media and Web 2.0 tools offer ample opportunity to share various brand personality attributes in different ways.
For example, a firm's website might present its most formal face to the general array of possible visitors: prospects, customers, referral sources, prospective funders, industry analysts, media, etc. There might be a calendar page listing upcoming events, speaking engagements and so forth. There might also be a page where the company's philosophy of community involvement is described. Other pages would present products and services.
Offsite tools can make the personality traits associated with each aspect of your company and its activities come alive. Put the photos from a recent speaking engagement or community service event on Facebook, tagging noted guests, officials and employees. You can also share fan-only promotions, offers and contests there.
Post PowerPoint decks from analyst briefings on Linked In and solicit comments and questions. Share comments that highlight your understanding of your business on blogs and sites that cover your industry.
Use Twitter to tap into issues of importance to your key audiences, then comment, showing concern as well as expertise and sharing information that adds value to the conversation. Leverage your brand's knowledge base on your blog, sharing insights from employees in various roles and commenting on industry developments, company issues, and customer concerns.
Regardless of the venue, link every part of your online presence to every other part so that over time those who engage with your company will get a fully rounded picture of your rich and diverse brand personality.
I chose the Gene Harris tune 'Put It Where You Want It' from his album Alley Cats for two reasons. First, the album notes say, "Soulful, bluesy, swingin', hard-bopping, funky – which of these best describes the two-fisted jazz piano stylings of Gene Harris? Answer: All of them!!" So it is with multi-faceted brand personalities. And, second, you can take the online content that best represents each aspect of your brand and – you guessed it – put it where you want it! Enjoy and see you soon!!


Arrived at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. Out of the train at 6 A.M., now in barracks, as at Ft. Lewis — not rooms as at Ft. Ord.
Weather: hot, wet, and sticky.
Sorry the connection last night was not as good as it should be. Hope it will be better later in the week and I can at least say "hello" to all of you.
We are at Camp Kilmer, a camp that has existed only one month. It is a "Staging Center" from which units being shipped out are equipped and shipped. Final shots, etc. are given. It is not supposed to be known just where we are and the 59th is not supposed to be connected with this camp – we go by a special number here. Therefore, for information of all others, we are in a camp by New York.
Visitors are allowed here between certain hours and I hope to have Alain here today if I can reach him, as the Post is going on the "alert" tomorrow and during that time no visitors are allowed, no wires, phones or letters will leave the Post.
After whatever outfit that goes out is far enough out to sea, then the Post can come off the alert – and not until then. When the alert goes on, the units here don't know which one of them is going out until the last minute. The unit commander, of course, knows 24 hours ahead anyway. We are not scheduled to go out during the alert as far as we know or the Col. knows.
When we are the outfit leaving, the only way you will be able to know is if I get a chance to write just before – the letter being mailed after we're gone a few days. Most of these alerts, I understand, last from 3 to 7 days, so you can figure from that. I'll try to write every day that we can.
When not on the alert, and after the first three days of "processing," we will be allowed 24-hour leaves every other day.
We are not far from from New York – about 1 mile from New Brunswick, which can be transversed by bus; and New Brunswick is 40 minutes from New York by train. Morrisville, where Alain is, is only 25 miles from here.
Yesterday we spent quite a while giving the third Typhus shots. Today we have to give the enlisted men another tetanus shot and begin another Typhoid series, as they had theirs over 6 months ago. Bert and I are running the immunization show with the aid of Russ Klein, Armanini and either Cy Johnson or Roy Cohn.
Yesterday we gave the whole outfit, except the nurses, their typhus shots in 1 hour. We had to do our own filling of syringes, putting on clean needles, sterilizing needles, etc. Bert, Russ and I fixed up everything and all Armanini and Johnson had to do was shoot. It was like a factory belt – remember the old Charlie Chaplain picture – well that was us. More today!
The weather yesterday was fierce!! Hot and sticky as the deuce!! Three showers weren't of any help. It poured for quite a while, hard, with thunder and lightening. Clean clothes were shot to heck in no time.
Last night slept o.k. as it had cooled off somewhat. Slept with all windows open and no pajamas or sheets or blankets.
I phoned Alain at noon yesterday and he drove here by 6:45 P.M. He is only about 25 miles away. He has a nice, rather new, Ford coupe. He has changed little, except in his viewpoint towards the Germans. He was most jovial, and in fact, got quite a kick out of our troubles last night when, in a drenching downpour, when the whole Post was a mass of large puddles, he drove into a 2 ft. deep ditch by the Nurses House, where we were going to pick up Lois.
We couldn't get the car out of the ditch until we waded out of the car and bumped into one of our sergeants driving a truck. He pulled us out of the ditch but the motor was so wet we couldn't get it started.
We decided to let the engine dry, so we went into the lobby of the Nurses House where Alain was most informative and not too reluctant to talk about some of his experiences. Most of what he told us was in his letter to you, but he added considerable concerning the German prison camps, the food, treatment, etc. – which, of course are considerably different from the concentration camps.
Alain said he got out of Paris by having Raoul disguise him as a brakeman on a train and he was perched on top of a tank car, waving a lantern for 250-300 miles. But, how his grandmother ever got out (of Paris and made it to Nice) is beyond him. He said that David Salomon is also in Nice.
Alain finally got his car started after we were shoved a few times and left here about 10 P.M. He will probably be with us, or vice versa, another day this week.
Today we got our helmets – the new type that are in 2 parts – inside for protection against sun, and outside steel for protection against bullets, shrapnel, etc.
It looks pretty much as if we'll be going pretty soon – within a week, possibly and the chances are probably 9 to 1 that we will be seeing the U.C. unit in the near future.
P.S. Start numbering your letters so I can know if I get them all. I will start numbering after we leave here.
Alain Dreyfus – René's second cousin, born in Paris. By the time René meets up with him in New Jersey, Alain had been drafted into the French army, captured by the Germans, escaped from a hospital where he was being held, and had made his way to the United States. Shown here (left) with his cousin Jean Pierre Baumann in 1938.
On the night of the 18th, there was a dance given by an outfit next door to us and it would have been lots better if the hall hadn't been so hot. How the Col. was able to dance every dance when most of us were in a lather after one dance, we do not know.
Yesterday was a rather nice day – not too darn hot. We loafed and played volleyball most of the day.
Last night the gals gave a dance for the officers – only about half the bunch were there as Group I was allowed their 24 hr. leave beginning yesterday. Our Group goes off at 5:30 P.M. this afternoon. Plans still a little indefinite.

'Smoke detector' enables fungal partnership that allowed plants to first survive on land

Credit: Paszkowski lab, Cambridge
New research has revealed that a plant protein known to detect growth-promoting compounds in smoke from burning vegetation has a much older and broader role: recognising initial signals sent from the beneficial soil fungi that deliver nutrients directly into plant cells.
By identifying the molecular signals emitted through the soil by friendly fungi, the protein enables a plant to "roll out the red carpet" for cell colonisation by the fungi, and all the survival advantages this mutually-beneficial relationship brings - the fungi feeds minerals such as phosphate into plant cells in return for sugar extraction.
This "symbiosis" between plants and certain microbial fungi is prevalent across the plant kingdom, and thought to date back to the earliest transitions of plant life from water to land some 450 million years ago, as plants had to develop ways of surviving on land by acquiring nutrients from soil many millennia before they evolved roots.
Scientists believe this ancient relationship with fungi was likely critical to the early terrestrial survival of plants, and consequently the evolution of "all higher life on earth".
While previous research had shown that plants can clearly tell the difference between beneficial fungi and those that offer nothing or cause disease, how they make the distinction had proved mysterious. Now, latest research has unravelled the genetic code of the plant protein that enables the "cross-kingdom dialogue" between plants and fungi - allowing plants to let the right fungi in.
Surprisingly, the protein is an enzyme known to science as the receptor for Karrikin, a plant hormone created when vegetation is burned. Karrikin - from karrik, the Aboriginal word for fire - triggers seed germination in certain species of plant known as "fire-chasers": plants that are first to sprout once wildfires have devastated their competitors.
While only those few fire-following species such as eucalyptus and some members of the tobacco family use the protein (called D14L) to "tune into smoke signals", the latest study shows that this same protein is used by the vast majority of plant life on Earth to tune into fungi - perceiving the molecular signals from friendly fungi, and enabling a relationship that helped sustain plant life on land hundreds of millions of years before the evolution of roots and seeds.
"This protein had already been seen to detect smoke hormones in a few fire-chasing plant species, but now we've shown it's the same protein that is central to the everyday interaction of plants with beneficial fungi. This primary, ancestral role of forging a symbiosis with fungi is harnessed by over 80% of all plant species on the planet," said Dr Uta Paszkowski, from Cambridge University's Department of Plant Science, senior author of the study published today in the journal Science.
"Such fungal symbioses assisted plants to make the transition to land. We are beginning to unlock a process which is taking us back to the first stages of plant life on land some 450 million years ago, one of the key evolutionary steps of life on planet Earth," she said.
For the new study, scientists found the first "mutant" rice plant that had no susceptibility at all to the friendly fungi. The team was able to work out the missing gene, and isolated the D14L protein as the critical element for the detection of these fungi in plants.
"Fungi and plants secrete all sorts of molecules, like a dialogue through the soil, and what we captured is the 'hearing' side in plants. Removal of the protein renders the plant insensitive to the fungus - in other words, the plant has become deaf," said Paszkowski.
When colonising a plant, the beneficial fungus blooms within individual plant cells, growing thin tendrils called hyphae that extend into surrounding soil and pump minerals and nutrients straight into the heart of plant cells. Plants colonised by friendly fungi get between 70 to 100% of their phosphate directly from these hyphae, for example. In return, the fungus gets its sugars from the plant.
Plants monitor their surrounding for the presence of other bacterial or fungal invaders normally using 'receptor-kinases'. "We and others had assumed the protein mechanism plants use for identifying beneficial fungi would be related to those," said Paszkowski.
She describes it as a "real surprise" to find the D14L protein, a 'hydrolase' protein which functions deep inside the cell, to be necessary for the communication with the friendly fungi.
As the D14L protein is also involved in plants developmental responses to light Paszkowski talks of a "gut feeling" that - with this ancient protein responding to light, atmosphere (through smoke detection) and soil environment (through fungal symbiosis) - it could have been a developmental crossroads vital to plants' evolutionary leap out of the oceans.
"Light; atmosphere; soil: all aspects crucially different when making that change from water to land, and all adaptations that would be influenced by this one protein. The D14L protein may take us back to the earliest days of life on land," she said.

For today, the specific of the criminal cases covers virtually all areas of law – from the crimes against the person to the crimes against the state.
At the same time, in most cases, the questions of indemnity are also the subject to trial in criminal proceedings. The mentioned questions are related to subjects of the criminal justice.
In turn, there are not so many lawyers, who possess knowledge in the majority of areas of law that are connected with such processes and who are able to carry out independently a full protection of your rights and interests. Therefore, the execution of protection in criminal or administrative processes by one person seems to be ineffective.
Due to this, in most cases, the performance of protection in criminal or administrative processes is carried out by several experienced lawyers and attorneys of a multibusiness law firm.
In turn, we have full authority to state that lawyers and attorneys of our law firms have extensive experience and knowledge in legal defence of rights and interests.
We succeeded in all criminal and administrative court cases in which we participated.
Concerning matters of protection from unlawful prosecution of an offense, none of our clients has been prosecuted or instituted to administrative actions.
Moreover, we managed to cancel the illegal decisions, which were previously passed by the courts whith the participation in the processes of other lawyers (including sentences to life imprisonment).
As for matters of indemnity and punishment of the perpetrators, our lawyers and attorneys strived the maximum punishment for those found responsible. The desired outcome for our clients, who were the victims of crimes, was also achieved.
Lawyers of our law firms are about to give all their strength, experience and knowledge to protect your rights and interests.
To gain wealth you need bravery; to preserve it - wisdom, and to spend wisely - art.

Q: Setting default values for Design tab in Product Information in Magento admin I was wondering, is it possible to set default values for the Design tab of a product in the dashboard in Magento admin. By default, this is how the design tab looks:

Given this, I find it quite tedious to have to repeatedly select the design and page layout every time I add a new product. So, is there any way I can set this to the option I use most for products? Also, I'd like to hide Active From, Active To and Custom Layout Update if it's possible.

A: If you want to one design to all product, then you can set it from app\design\frontend\YOUR_TEMPLATE_PATH\default\layout\catalog.xml.
From this xml you can set template. Search for <catalog_product_view translate="label"> and under this node you will find template settings.
Hope this will help

A: So, you want default image for most of the product? Otherwise, you want to add new image, you can add image on based on each product?
If you want based on upper description, Go to
    System->Configuration
Under Catalog tab and Click on Catalog Menu link and Go to Product Image Place Holders. You can set there for default image. If you add new product image on each product, new image override to this default image.See picture
!
Hope help :)

The American university in Cairo Performing and Visual Arts opened its 1998 Spring Season on February 13th in Wallace Theater on campus with Harold Pinter's play, Betrayal. This play was directed by Eric Grischkat, and the costume design was made by Timaree Mc Cormick. AUC students have strongly participated in the designing, lighting, setting, directing, and in acting. These students were Noha Farouk, Shereef Bishay, Karim Bishay, Ramsi Lehner, and Alaa Shalaby.
Betrayal is play that tell the story of two very close friends, Robert, and Jerry. Both of them were married and had children. Both families loved, and respectedeach other. However, this did not last long because betrayals took place. This play includes eight betrayals; therefore, one can obviously see how well fit the title is to the main theme of the play . In thefirst place, Emma resorted to betraying her husband because she did not find true love with him so she thought she could find it with Jerry . However, she failed this time too and so she tried Casey. Robert was not the right person for Emma as he was so cold. There is nothing that moves him even when he knew that Emma was betraying him , he was only concerned with whether Ned was his son or not. This is not the normal action of any husband who have just found out that his wife has been betraying him with his best friend for five whole years !
Pinter has written this play in an unusual way . Its actions move from the latter to the former;( i.e. the play began in the year 1977 and ended in 1968 ). Pinter said that the most effective way to handle this play was by moving backwards. I agree with him because if it moved normally from the oldest to the latest it would not have been that interesting .


FORT BRAGG — Started in 1986, All American Week honors the soldiers who have been part of the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division with a series of events, competitions and memorials that welcome back former military members and bring civilians to Fort Bragg for four days.This year's event is special in that it's the 100th anniversary of the 82nd Airborne. The division is the U.S. Army's quick-action force, able to mobilize, load and land anywhere in the world in less than 36 hours, making it an essential facet of the country's military and humanitarian efforts.Formed after World War I in 1917, the 82nd Airborne has been part of operations in World War II (including the invasion of Normandy), Vietnam, Grenada, the Persian Gulf War, post-Sept. 11 operations in the Middle East, and countless others, along with relief efforts following catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.Thousands of 82nd Airborne soldiers are serving overseas now, and in late April it was announced approximately 1,500 soldiers from the division's 1st Brigade Combat Team would be deployed to Afghanistan in the U.S.'s ongoing efforts against the Taliban and Islamic State.All American Week has honored the soldiers both at Fort Bragg and abroad, past and present, for more than two decades, though the festivities were not held in four of the last 15 years (2003, 2006, 2010 and 2012) because of military conflicts.The name of the event was born from the 82nd Airborne's nickname, the All American Division, which came from the fact its first members came from 48 states (prior to Hawaii and Alaska becoming states). The nickname is reflected in the 82nd Airborne's patch, the "AA" with "Airborne" arced above it.The 100th celebration of the 82nd Airborne kicked off Monday at 6:30 a.m. with the Division Run. Reports said about 15,000 participated in the four-mile run, which included helicopter formations flying overhead, artillery fire and 7,300 boots that represent all of the U.S. service members who have died since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.It was followed by the Paratrooper Breakfast where members of the 82nd Airborne and veterans meet and greet over mess hall cuisine. Several picnics and get-togethers throughout the week allow veterans and current soldiers to meet with their regiments.Tuesday's events opened with a 9 a.m. prayer breakfast and ended with a 7 p.m. Fun Run, and people were also given the chance to try out the division's 34-foot jump tower.All week the units and paratroopers compete in various "friendly" sporting events. A 10-mile race, tug of war, softball, soccer and flag football games, and combat fitness testing are some of the offerings, with boxing and combatives final matches coming Wednesday evening.Fallen soldiers were set to be honored Wednesday, with wreath layings for those lost in Vietnam and Operation Power Pack (part of the U.S.'s intervention into the Dominican Civil War in 1965). There is also a planned memorial service at the 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum.The highlight of the celebration will likely be Thursday's Airborne Review, where transport aircraft will drop heavy equipment and countless paratroopers (more than 1,400 jumped last year) at the Sicily Drop Zone.

inMusic festival headliners 2014
Date: Monday 23 June, Wednesday 25 June, 2014
Location: Lake Jarun, Zagreb, Croatia
Site: www.inmusicfestival.com
INmusic festival is Croatia's biggest international open-air festival. The festival is held annually in June in Zagreb and takes place on Youth Island (Croatian: Otok hrvatske mladeži) in the middle of Zagreb's Lake Jarun. The festival was started in 2006 and is usually held over two or three days. It includes several genre-specific stages with internationally renowned indie rock, heavy metal and electronica artists. In 2008 The Times included INmusic among the top 20 European summer festivals.
Croatia's largest open air festival has the feel and line up of larger festivals without the crowds. INmusic presents a solid line up of past and present major acts across a range of genres. INmusic is a camping festival which boasts six stages and middle size crowds for less cost than major European festivals. For all of these reasons INmusic festival made it into the times top 20 European festivals.
The INmusic Festival was started in 2006 and has grown every year. From hosting local artists and having local sponsors last year saw T-Mobile sponsoring and acts as big as Cypress Hill and The Streets.
The INmusic Festival is known for having the feel of a big festival without the crowds, so as you would imagine the crowds are as excited as they would be at a major festival but have more space to enjoy themselves. The other effect the size of the crowd has on the vibe is how friendly everyone is, it has a real small time festival friendliness to it. Source: wikipedia.org

How have self-incompatibility haplotypes diversified? Generation of new haplotypes during the evolution of self-incompatibility from self-compatibility
Satoki Sakai
I developed a gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) model to study the conditions leading to diversification in SI haplotypes. In the model, the SI system is assumed to be incomplete, and the pollen expressing a given specificity is not fully rejected by the pistils expressing the same specificity. I also assumed that mutations can occur that enhance the rejection of pollen by pistils with the same haplotype variant and reduce rejection by pistils with other variants in the same haplotype. I found that if such mutations occur, the new haplotypes (mutant variants) can stably coexist with the ancestral haplotype in which the mutant arose. This is because pollen bearing the new haplotype is most strongly rejected by pistils bearing the same new haplotype among the pistils in the population; hence, negative frequency-dependent selection prevents their fixation. I also performed simulations and found that the nearly complete SI system evolves from completely self-compatible populations and that SI haplotypes can increase to about 40–50 within a few thousand generations. On the basis of my findings, I propose that diversification of SI haplotypes occurred during the evolution of SI from self-compatibility.

Born on September 16, 1932 .
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Mary Butler 79 years old , born on September 16, 1932 and passed away on January 28, 2012. We will remember her forever.
My Mom, I Love and Miss you already and you only left yesterday.


Child support is court-ordered funds to be paid by one parent to the custodial parent of a minor child after a divorce or separation. Generally the amount of child support is based on each parents' income, number and special needs of the children, and the expenses of the custodial parent. Child support may also include health insurance, school tuition or other expenses.
Child support payments are due at a certain time every month. The paying parent can make the child support payments to a child support registry, which will then send the payments to the custodial parent, or can have their wages garnished meaning the child support payments may be withheld from their paycheck.
Child support laws vary from state to state. Depending on the jurisdiction, a custodial parent might legally be required to account for how child support money is spent. Most generally, to obtain child support, you must request an order for support from a state family court. The court will use a set of guidelines to set the amount of child support paid if the parties are not in agreement of the amount. There are different worksheets used in the calculation depending on the custodial arrangement. The worksheets are available at the Clerk of Court.
Either parent may seek a change (increase or decrease) in child support at any time if a substantial change in circumstances occurred after the court entered the order. To ask for an increase in child support, the receiving parent must be able to prove to the court that the paying parent's income has increased, specifically if the current amount of child support does not meet the child's immediate needs. Child support may also be increased due to such circumstances as medical treatment, therapy or special tutoring.
Contact a Iowa family law lawyer representing clients in Altoona, Iowa today to schedule your initial consultation.
The paying parent may seek to have child support decreased under such circumstances as a reduction in income, loss of a job or if the custodial parent has an increase in their income. Generally however, courts are disinclined to decrease child support payments.
Non-custodial parents who refuse to pay their child support obligation are often termed as dead-beat parents. In 2003, the US Department of Health and Human Services estimated that 68% of child support cases had arrearages.
Although a non-custodial parent is not paying court ordered child support, the custodial parent can not interfere in the visitation schedule. In the same sense, the paying parent (non-custodial) can not stop making child support payments because the custodial parent is not in compliance with court ordered visitation schedule. These are matters that need to be addressed in court and an experienced family law attorney can assist you with these matters.
If a non-custodial parent does not pay court ordered child support, he/she can be held in contempt or prosecuted for failure to support, therefore being taken into custody and remanded to jail. Your driver's license and other licenses can be suspended. Your tax refunds can be seized. The courts have numerous options to enforce child support orders.
If the biological parents were never married, they both still owe the child financial support. In some cases, the person named as the father denies paternity and requests a DNA test. Once paternity of the child is determined, an order for child support will be entered.
Child support generally terminates when a child turns 18 or 21 (depending on state law), or graduates from high school, or becomes self-supporting.
Family Law is a very complex area of the law, covering many issues, which require careful, sensitive representation to obtain an outcome that is in your best interest. If you or a loved one are dealing with an issue in this area, contact one of our experienced attorneys for assistance with your situation.

Rich Hill Scratched From Next Start, Could Still Be Traded
Bryan Zarpentine
Posted on July 30, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine
Image via sfgate.com
Oakland Athletics pitcher Rich Hill will not make his next scheduled start on Sunday, as he continues to have problems with a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. Hill being scratched from Sunday's start makes a trip to the DL a distinct possibility for him. At the same time, Oakland says it continues to receive trade interest from other teams regarding Hill, setting up a rather unpredictable few days leading up to the non-waiver trade deadline on Monday.
Hill left his last start on July 17 after just five pitches because of the blister. He threw a 60-pitch bullpen session on Friday, and despite saying progress was being made with the blister, he also reported the blister feeling "hot" afterwards. That was enough for the A's to bump hill from Sunday's start. "It feels like we're making good progress, but if we run out there and end up in a situation like we were last time, we're pushing it back even more," Hill said Friday. "We're already at two weeks at this point."
Interestingly, Hill's blister issue "hasn't diminished the number of phone calls we've fielded," according to Oakland GM David Forst. "The Deadline is Monday, no matter what happens with Rich," Forst said. "There has been interest, we've had conversations. We're not going to give Rich away just because he's a free agent next year. He has a lot of value to us and, frankly, who's to say we're not interested in keeping Rich beyond this year?"

On paper, Oakland is clearly out of contention, but Forst has been impressed with the team's play as of late and appears to be in no rush to trade Hill or anyone else on Oakland's roster that may be a viable trade chip, specifically outfielder Josh Reddick. "The fact is, our guys have played really well since the All-Star break. We're obviously looking up at a lot of teams in the standings, but they deserve a lot of credit," Forst said. In terms of making any trades before the deadline, Forst commented: "We're having a lot of conversations. I couldn't handicap it right now as to whether we do something or not."
Hill's relatively cheap contract makes it likely he would get claimed if the A's try to pass him through waivers after the deadline, which would lower his trade value considerably. Of course, the value of a pitcher who may be about to go on the DL is also diminished unless Forst can work out a trade that involves contingency plans based on how many starts Hill makes for the team that acquires him. Forst has also floated the possibility that Oakland will try to retain Hill after the season, possibly making him a qualifying offer, which could tempt him to return.
What ends up happening with Hill at this point is anybody's guess. In 14 starts this year, Hill is 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA, making him a potential game changer for a contending team. However, the current situation with his blister and his history of injuries throughout his career could impact his value. At this point, just about any possible outcome is on the table when it comes to Hill.

Little legend: Child with rare form of dwarfism begins his biggest adventure yet
A child's first day of school can be a daunting experience – both for the new student and their anxious parents.
But when your child is just a little bit different – like five-year-old Floyd Henry Morley – the first day of school brings with it a whole new host of challenges.
Floyd was born with a rare form of dwarfism called Achondroplasia.
Floyd Morley was born with a rare form of dwarfism, called Achondroplasia. (60 Minutes)
People with Achondroplasia typically have short arms and legs, an enlarged head and an average-sized torso.
60 Minutes first met Floyd and his family in 2014 when he was just 5 months old.
After the initial shock of Floyd's diagnosis – which came completely at random – parents Jade and Ross decided to share their experience with their family and friends online.
Parents Jade and Ross told their family about Floyd's condition in a Facebook video. (60 Minutes)
Their emotional video, posted to Facebook in the weeks after Floyd's diagnosis, went viral.
"We're happy to have a unique little boy who is alive and well," Ross said in the video.
"We are not sad because we feel so grateful that we have him with us today," confirmed Jade.
For five years they've shared their family life and Floyd's progress on Facebook and Instagram, raising awareness and sharing information about Floyd's dwarfism.
Floyd Morley has now embarked on his biggest adventure yet – starting school. (60 Minutes)
Now, at the age of five, Floyd has started kindergarten – a huge milestone he was excited to share with 60 Minutes.
"I guess I'm nervous about not being able to help him. Hopefully he will feel ok with answering the kids' questions," Jade told the program.
"I'm sure he'll be absolutely fine but you get a little bit emotional… that everyone is going to be really kind to him and not throw too many questions at him.
"Hopefully he'll be like every other kid."
Jade and Floyd have been preparing for this day for a number of months, with mum and son doing 'role-play' of how Floyd can answer his classmates questions.
"Hopefully he'll be like everybody else." (60 Minutes)
"We say, 'Floyd, what do you say if someone asks you how old you are, or how come you're so small?' And he just responds with, 'I'm five years old, and my bones don't grow quickly. That's why I'm smaller.'"
While mum and dad have been anxious, his new school – St Anthony's Primary in Kingscliff in Northern NSW – couldn't wait to have the spirited Floyd in the classroom.
The school has been proactive in making adjustments and changes to the classrooms and school grounds so that every space is accessible for Floyd.
And the verdict is that Floyd's first day at 'big-kid school' was a huge success.
"I just hope that he's really happy, and he can embrace who he is, the way that we have embraced who he is,"" Jade said.
"It's just Floyd. Just small, that's all!"

Diversity Standards
ISO Diversity
Henderson and Carobolante to lead the development of ISO global standards for diversity and inclusion
Effenus Henderson, President of Henderworks, Inc. and Co-founder of the Institute for Sustainable Diversity and Inclusion has been elected Convener of ISO's Technical Committee 260's new work group which will guide the development of global standards for diversity and Inclusion.
Henderson, a global thought leader on diversity and inclusion, and retired Chief Diversity Officer for the Weyerhaeuser Company, said: "I am honored and deeply humbled by the support of leaders from around the world who voted in favor of moving the work forward and who demonstrated their confidence in me to lead the effort. I am also deeply gratified that Lorelei Carobolante, President and CEO of G2nd Systems, a San Diego based firm, will serve as co-convener and project manager."
Both Henderson and Carobolante have been instrumental in helping to develop US national standards in diversity and inclusion. SHRM, the initial sponsor of the US efforts to create national standards, is in the process of transitioning the sponsorship to the American Society for Testing and Measurement. "I am hopeful that the US standards process, which appears stalled, will pick up steam as SHRM and ASTM finalizes hand-offs" says Henderson. National standards for diversity and inclusion are emerging in the UK, France, Australia as a tool in raising skills, competencies and effectiveness in the diversity and inclusion area.
HR standards are developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 260, Human resource management, whose secretariat is held by ANSI, ISO's member for the USA. Committee Chair James Lewis said improving HR performance is not just about staffing, but about aligning the values of an organization throughout and taking all stakeholders into account.
Henderson and Carobolante are encouraging HR and diversity leaders who have responsibility for operations in the US and in other countries around the world to lend their support to this ground breaking effort.

Bahrain: The Arabic language – two for the price of one!
Happy New Year from Bahrain! This week we have reflections on the year gone by, and plans for the one to come. A number of bloggers have complaints about the media, a new blogger describes an unusual experiment, and we end with some thoughts on the nature of Arabic.
وقبل الإنجراف في المزيد من 2008 لا بأس من جرد حساب للعام الماضي. أشعر بالرضا عن 2007 لولا المرارة التي جاءت بها النهاية. … أما على الصعيد الشخصي وهو الأهم فقد كانت سنة حافلة بالإنجازات. … عدت للكتابة بعد جفاف طال، ويجب أن اعترف ان المدونة كانت مفتاح أساسي. اشتريت لابت توب أخيراً ولكنه لم يكن بالروعة التي تصورتها، ومازلت أقضي الوقت الأكبر في غرفتي كما كنت أفعل أيام الكومبيوتر الثابت. أمضيت بعض الوقت في الدراسة وذكرت نفسي بمتعة التعلم وأني لم أزل أستطيع التفكير! وأضفت إلى رصيدي العلمي شهادة جديدة. سافرت إلى أماكن جديدة، وقابلت بعض الأشخاص اللطفاء، واشتقت للبحرين والبحارنة في كل مرة.
Before the erosion of any more of 2008, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take stock of the last year. I feel satisfied with 2007, except for the bitterness which came at the end. On a personal level, the most important, it was a year full of achievements. I returned to writing after a long drought, and I have to acknowledge that my blog was the key. I bought a laptop at last, but it wasn't the wondrous thing I imagined, and I still spent a lot of time in my room as I used to do with a PC.
طبعاً محاولة نسيان الماضي شيء إيجابي ومعزز للذات لكن مع بداية السنة قد نستذكر الماضي لغرض واحد ألا وهو معرفة ما أنجز في السنة الماضية وتقييمها ورسم خطط السنة الجديدة.
Of course an attempt to forget the past is a positive thing, and good for self-esteem, but with the beginning of the year maybe we should recall the past with one aim, to know what we achieved in the last year, and to evaluate it, and to draw up a plan for the new year.
While in some cases they were good enough (i.e. pass all my exams), in other cases they sucked (i.e join the gym). What was I joining the gym for? To lose weight? or to get fit? And when was I going to join the gym? for how long? If I just joined the gym, did I accomplish this point, or did I actually need to attend the gym regularly and work out? You see – a resolution like "join the gym" is crap. I should've been more specific.
I chose not to watch the program of Sawsan AlSha'er [Bahraini columnist and TV presenter] the other day; I have taken a personal oath to stay away from all national media starting the 16th of December, you really don't expect much of local news or even proper coverage on the media throughout those couple of weeks, nothing but force feeding that Bahrain is in fact a prosperous wealthy and democratic country that hosts the best F1 races known to the humankind.
I came across a clip of the program uploaded by one of the viewers and couldn't help but to laugh at the hypocrisy and the lies that were so bluntly pulled out at the nation by people supposedly representing ministries and individuals representing the so-called "pro-governmental views". […] But what was aired on the program was different; all of a sudden it wasn't funny anymore. How someone would stand out like that and lie on public TV is just way beyond me, how low can you get really?
For details of what Mohammed objected to, see here.
My five-year old nephew made a profound statement. I was watching this news channel that will not be named because I'm in a good mood… (T)his news channel never tackles anything serious or substantive, and instead, gives importance to news events that are of tabloid-y nature. And just as I was watching one such insignificant 'news' (for want of a better word) and chuckling at the serious expression on the anchor's face that my nephew suddenly blurted out, 'they show cartoons on this news channel.' I burst out laughing at my nephew's statement because, unknowingly, the youngster managed to get to the very heart of this issue.
Ashish goes on to examine the media in India; to read his opinions, see here.
I did it several times, stopping by traffic lights wearing worn out clothes, carrying roses in my hands to sell – not because of need but because I wanted to see how people would react to me and the flowers. I stood by the traffic light near the Bahrain Map, and then in Gufool and Adliya as well as many other places. I had my face covered up, carrying the roses. I would pass by cars and select the faces I would offer the roses to, meeting the requests of the faces which asked for them. When someone would ask me about the price, I would say it was a present, and give them to him and smile at him, then go. I saw many smiles, and even more astonishment. But what annoyed me was the Muharraqi man near the Gufool traffic lights. He was an elderly man. He asked for a rose. I gave it to him. What surprised me was that he did not ask me how much it was, but took out BD10 [approx. 26 USD] from his pocket and told me to keep the rest. I smiled and told him it was a gift. He looked at me in surprise and kept staring at my face, as the mask had slipped when I wasn't paying attention. He got out of his car, and held my face in his hands, his wide eyes focused on my face. All of this was happening in silence; it was as if he had a secret he wanted to uncover, while I had fear in my heart and didn't want to end up in a police station, thanks to my crazy ideas. He then said my name. I was shocked. I strongly denied it was me, but he asked me whether I was the son of so-and-so. Here he became silent as it became obvious that he had recognised me while I didn't know him. He insisted that I get into his car, despite my refusal. At this point, the cars behind him started honking loudly. He drove ahead, parked his car and returned walking to me. He asked me why I was doing that while I was well-off and had an inheritance. He asked why I was selling roses when I had all that money. I asked him to calm down and told him that all I was doing was reflecting on people's behaviour. I wasn't selling anything. I had bought all those roses and was giving them out to those who asked for them, just like water.
From time to time I have come across claims (though I can't seem to find good references on the internet) that illiteracy in the Arab world is closely tied to Arabic being a diglossic language, i.e. that there is a marked difference between the written and various spoken forms. […] I've been discussing this subject – diglossia, literacy – with various friends recently, to get their opinions, but we didn't reach any clear conclusions. One person claimed that the use of Standard Arabic was increasing, because of satellite channels – it's the only way a programme can get an audience across the Arab world. Another told me exactly the opposite – that because of satellite TV, people are more familiar with the different dialects of Arabic and are more confident of understanding and of being understood, therefore no longer feel the need to speak a standardised form.
We'll leave you to think about that – more from Bahrain next week!

The organizers of a proposed ballot measure that would raise money for the downtown convention center and homelessness programs will launch their signature-gathering effort today. The Yes! For a Better San Diego campaign proposes a 42-year increase in the city's visitor tax that they say would generate $3.78-billion to expand and update the convention center, $2.02-billion for homelessness services and $604-million for street repairs over the life of the measure. They must gather 71,000 signatures for the issue to appear on the November ballot.
If approved by voters, the measure would increase the visitor tax on hotel bills by 1.25% to 3.25%. Hotels closest to the convention center would see the largest hike. During the first years of the tax increase, 59% of revenues would go toward the convention center and 41% to homelessness programs. Between 2025 and 2061, 59% would go toward the center, 31% to homelessness programs and 10% to city street repairs.
Supporters include hospitality industry leaders, Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Father Joe Carroll of Father Joe's Villages, Bob McElroy of the Alpha Project and the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council. They say the measure would offer long-term solutions to some of the city's most vexing problems. The campaign says the upgrades to, and expansion of, the convention center would generate $40-billion in economic activity over the life of the measure and create about 7,000 jobs.
The City Council is considering another ballot question proposed by Councilman David Alvarez that would earmark existing hotel tax revenue exclusively for homelessness prevention and housing programs.

I often get a random taste for something that I just can't shake. This was the case earlier this week when I decided that I HAVE To have spinach-artichoke dip. Of course, I didn't even have any artichokes and the frugal streak in me wouldn't let me go to the store and buy the ingredients. If I was going to satisfy this craving, I was going to have to do it with what was in the house.
So, as with most of my recipes, this recipe should really be titled (Here's What You Do When You Don't Have The Right Ingredients To Make) Spinach-Artichoke Dip. The key was finding the "magic" with the standard recipe and making sure I, at least, had the right ingredients to recreate that magic. It turns out the special flavor in spinach-artichoke dip doesn't come from the spinach or artichokes- its the cheeses and raw garlic! I know this because I tasted along the way and it was pretty blah until there was this big bang of flavor as soon as those items came together.
The actual recipe below is for a pretty spinachy dip. It turned out to be more flexible this way and I used it as a dip, sandwich spread, inside a hamburger (Jucy Lucy), in an omelete, and as a small, low-carb side dish. In fact, it's been almost a week and I still have some left that I'm working through slowly. I was thinking about stuffing the rest into mushroom caps and baking. YUM!
Mix up the ingredients and microwave for a few minutes. Stop and stir about every 30 seconds until it's mixed well. It doesn't really need to be baked like many recipes but it would be nice placed in a ceramic dish, topped with some extra cheese and then broiled for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
I really think the key ingredients are the cream cheese, mayo and garlic. The recipe above gives the classic taste minus the artichokes. If you wanted to turn this into the real thing, I would either use half the spinach and add a can of artichoke hearts, coarsly chopped. I think as long as you have cream cheese, mayo and garlic you can really spin off on some delicious and wild variations. I was thinking about adding some smoked paprika and chorizo for a Spanish flavor. Some raw vegetables like onions and celery might add a nice crunch as long as you don't cook it too long. It would be tasty cold but you would probably want to add in some sour cream and cut back on cream cheese or else it would be too stiff.
