Just as medical practices nationwide may have adjusted to the requirements imposed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rules, Congress changed the reporting duties of covered entities in the case of a breach of certain patient information. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Congress include Title XII referred to as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). HITECH substantially altered the reporting requirements of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules by requiring notification of certain breaches of unsecured protected health information (PHI) to the affected individuals, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and even the media should the covered entity determine that the breach meets a certain harm threshold. A covered entity includes a healthcare provider, a health plan or a healthcare clearinghouse although breaches may be a result of actions taken by business associates of a covered entity.
Our firm makes it a priority in counseling its clients to enable them to avoid HIPAA violations by keeping them up to date in the developments under HIPAA and HITECH. Our attorneys counsel clients in training their personnel to comply with HIPAA. We also have the ability to help implement a pro-active methodology to prevent HIPAA breaches in advance of any HIPAA incidents, and provide analysis when an incident occurs.
HHS issued Interim Final Rules in August 2009 implementing the HITECH Act but the Office of Civil Rights withdrew the draft rules in July 2010 to allow for further consideration and are to announce new rules at a later date. The obligation to report breaches of unsecured PHI still remains in effect despite the withdrawal of the Rules. Several members of Congress have publicly expressed opposition to the significant risk of harm standard As a result, covered entities should have in place a breach notification policy with appropriate procedures to investigate, report and mitigate breaches of PHI. There is, however, a chance that the harm threshold could end up being removed by HHS in the future.
In order to determine how to investigate a PHI breach that triggers a notification requirement, one must first understand the relevant terms. "PHI" means individually identifiable health information created, transmitted or maintained by a covered entity or business associate, that identifies individual health information as provided under 45 CFR §164.503. "Individually identifiable health information" is any PHI that can possibly be used to identify an individual and connect that person to the health information that is created or received by a healthcare provider, payor, employer or data clearinghouse. A "business associate" generally includes any individual or entity, that is retained to perform or assist in the performance of a function or activity, involving the use or disclosure of PHI or that provides services for the covered entity where the provision of the services involves the disclosure of PHI.
A covered entity incurs notification requirements of a breach where the unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of PHI compromises its security or privacy, except when the unauthorized recipient could not reasonably have been able to retain the information. Pursuant to HHS regulations, notification is required only where the violation or breach poses "significant risk of financial, reputational or other harm to the individual." Notification may not be necessary if a covered entity determines, after conducting a risk assessment, that the individual whose PHI had been disclosed, may not be harmed. When unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of PHI occurs, the burden of proof is on the provider to demonstrate an ensuing appropriate notice analysis.
A risk assessment is only triggered where "unsecured PHI" is disclosed. This refers to PHI that remains unusable to unauthorized individuals.
There are exceptions and safe harbors for the unauthorized release of PHI. In certain circumstances breach notification is not required. The exceptions are: 1) where unauthorized access or use of PHI is unintentional, is made by a workforce member of a covered entity or a business associate within the scope of their job, if such acquisition, access or use was made in good faith and does not result in further unauthorized use or disclosure; and, 2) inadvertent disclosure by a person with authorized access to PHI, to another individual at another healthcare facility who is also authorized to access, acquire or use PHI at their facility, and the information is not further used in an impermissible manner and the individual agrees to return or destroy the PHI. These safe harbors exist when the data is encrypted (as required by HHS) and/or destroyed or rendered unretrievable or where the PHI is rendered unidentifiable. Also excluded are "limited data sets", a form of partially de-identified PHI that excludes direct identifiers such as names and addresses, which ordinarily are subject to the breach notification requirement unless they exclude ZIP codes and dates of birth.
In the event of a suspected violation or breach, a covered entity must first determine whether any safe harbor or exception applies. If not, a risk assessment must be performed by the covered entity. The investigation must be documented, even if a decision is reached that notification is not necessary, and such documentation must be kept for six years. To conduct the investigation, the organization should assign an individual who will manage the breach investigation, complete the risk assessment and coordinate with others as required. This includes retention of legal counsel if believed necessary.
The investigator must first determine whether there has been an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI. Even if not, the incident should be documented by the organization. If there is an impermissible use or disclosure, then a risk assessment to determine whether there is significant risk of harm must occur. The risk assessment is fact specific and should consider such factors as the individual who impermissibly used or to whom the information was impermissibly disclosed; the nature and content of the PHI disclosed; whether the information was intentionally or accidentally obtained; the reason that the PHI was obtained; whether the PHI was retrieved prior to improper use; whether the information was destroyed; the likelihood the information could be misused; anything done to mitigate potential harm; and the relationship of the recipient and the patient. When analyzing the content of the PHI in particular, an investigation should consider whether personal identifiers were present; whether the social security number was disclosed; whether detailed content was disclosed or content typically considered "sensitive"; and, the age of the PHI.
The organization may also wish to contact the affected individual when it cannot decide its harm determination to see if that person is disturbed by the disclosure and so that the organization may apologize for the occurrence.
As part of the risk assessment, a covered entity should also prepare an investigation report. The information in the report should include the incident/name; date of event; number of individuals affected, point of contact for the covered entity; brief summary of events and findings; final decision by the covered entity; and the individual and/or organization responsible for the impermissible access, use or disclosure.
In addition to the investigation report, a covered entity shall maintain a process to record or log all breaches of unsecured PHI. The log should include a description of what happened; date of breach; date of discovery; patient name(s) and number of number of patients affected if known; description of the type of PHI involved in the breach; the individual or organization that caused the breach; any action taken to mitigate the consequences and avoid future reoccurrence; the action taken by the covered entity with regard to notification of patients; and the HHS reporting date if applicable. An organization must provide an annual report to HSS of any breach of unsecured PHI by maintaining a log of each breach involving less than 500 individuals and providing such log to HHS on an annual basis within 60 days after the end of the calendar year.
An organization should follow a consistent approach in conducting risk assessments backed up by evidence and formal metrics with an objective description of the incident. There are harm threshold assessments that have been developed such as the North Carolina Healthcare Information and Communications Alliance HITECH Act Breach Notification Risk Assessment Tool that an organization may consult in trying to determine whether notification is necessary. None of these tools is dispositive of the issue but may help a covered entity in its determination.
A breach shall be considered discovered on the date that the organization knows or should have known of the breach. Notice of a breach must be made without "unreasonable delay" and in any event no later than 60 days from the date of discovery. Each of the individuals that may be affected by the HIPAA breach, i.e. the patients, are to be notified by first class mail at their last known address or by electronic mail if they have given consent to electronic notice. If the covered entity lacks current information for fewer than 10 individuals than substitute notice may be provided.
If more than 10 individuals lack up to date contact information then notice shall be in the form of either posting conspicuous notice on the organization's web site for 90 days, or by placing conspicuous notice in a major print or broadcast media. If a reportable breach involves 500 or more individuals, the covered entity must give notice to media outlets in the area in the form of a press release. If a reportable breach affects 500 or more individuals, covered entities must notify the Secretary without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 days following a breach. If, however, a reportable breach affects fewer than 500 individuals, the covered entity may notify the Secretary of such breaches on an annual basis. Reports of breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals are due to the Secretary no later than 60 days after the end of the calendar year in which the breaches occurred.


In this post I will show you how to turn a Raspberry Pi Zero into the ultimate Retro Gaming Machine.
We will do this by plugging some cables together and than install RetroPie on the Raspberry. This project shouldn't take you more than half a day, so you'll be up and running, playing games from your childhood in no time.
RetroPie is a collection of programs, which allow you to emulate many retro gaming systems. It's open source and an awesome project. A full list of supported consoles is available here.
Because we will install RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi Zero with very limited processing power, not all systems will work well. That being said, it is definitely fast enough to emulate the NES, SNES and various GameBoys.
To follow along you will need the following parts.
I linked to the Amazon product page using affiliate links but feel free do buy them (or similar ones) anywhere you want.
Pi Zeros are usally sold out everywhere, because they are awesome.You might have to wait a bit until you can get your hands on one.
You can also get an SNES Controller for about the same amount of money. It enables you to play SNES games as well. Furthermore, you can just as easily use an XBOX 360 or PS3 Controller if you happen to own one.
I used an old cardboard box, cut a hole for the cables in it and painted it with acrylic paint in the style of the NES.
PROTIP: Ask someone who can paint to do this.
From my experience you don't have to care about ventilation for the Pi Zero. I just glued mine on the bottom of the box and never had heat issues.
Use the official step-by-step guide on Github or watch one on of the many video tutorials on Youtube.
Plug the USB Splitter in the Port labeled "USB"
Plug in the power cable in the Port labeled "PWR"
Start configuring your controller by following the instructions on the screen. If your controller has less buttons than RetroPie is trying to configure just skip them by pressing any key for a long time.
The files containing the games are called ROMS. I won't link to a website where you can get these (for legal reasons) but a simple Google Search for "NES ROMS" or "SNES ROMS" should get you started. ROMS are usually about 5 MB big so the download does not take long.
If you are signing up for something or installing anything on your PC to get ROMS you are doing it wrong. You might want to try another site.
There is also no need to use BitTorrent for this if you don't want to. There are many easy to find sites which will provide free direct downloads.
Use the built-in scraper from EmulationStation to get meta information like pictures of the box, ratings or number of players. To do this you will need a connection to the internet. I used an old USB Wifi dongle, which I plugged into the USB Splitter. You will also need to connect a wired USB keyboard to type your wifi password. After that reboot your Pi by pulling the power chord and select RetroPie from the main menu. Here you select menu point WIFI and connect to your network.
Click here for a full list of hotkeys.
There are a lot of Themes available for EmulationStation. Themes allow you to customize your experience. Go to RetroPie in the Main Menu and select ES Themes. Here you can download new Themes. Again, you will need a Wifi Dongle and a Keyboard for this.
After you downloaded some themes, you can activate them by pressing "Start" and going to "UI Settings"

Q: Synchronizing Statically Allocated Struct Instances between CPU and GPU I have a struct that contains an array, and I want to copy the contents from an instance of that struct in CPU memory to another instance in GPU memory.
My question is similar to this one. There are two big difference between this question and the one from the link:

*

*I'm not using an array of structs. I just need one.

*All instances of the struct are statically allocated.

In attempt to answer my own question, I tried modifying the code in the answer as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define cudaCheckError() { \
    cudaError_t err = cudaGetLastError(); \
    if(err != cudaSuccess) { \
      printf("Cuda error: %s:%d: %s\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, cudaGetErrorString(err)); \
      exit(1); \
    } \
  }

struct Test {
    char array[5];
};

__global__ void kernel(Test *dev_test) {
    for(int i=0; i < 5; i++) {
        printf("Kernel[0][i]: %c \n", dev_test[0].array[i]);
    }
}

__device__ Test dev_test; //dev_test is now global, statically allocated, and one instance of the struct

int main(void) {

    int size = 5;
    Test test; //test is now statically allocated and one instance of the struct

    char temp[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' , 'e' };
    memcpy(test.array, temp, size * sizeof(char));

    cudaCheckError();
    cudaMemcpy(&dev_test, &test, sizeof(Test), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
    cudaCheckError();
    kernel<<<1, 1>>>(&dev_test);
    cudaCheckError();
    cudaDeviceSynchronize();
    cudaCheckError();

    //  memory free
    return 0;
}

But this code throws a runtime error:
Cuda error: HelloCUDA.cu:34: invalid argument

Is there a way to copy test into dev_test?

A: When using a statically allocated __device__ variable:

*

*We don't use the cudaMemcpy API.  We use the cudaMemcpyToSymbol (or cudaMemcpyFromSymbol) API

*We don't pass __device__ variables as kernel arguments.  They are at global scope. You just use them in your kernel code.
The following code has these issues addressed:
$ cat t10.cu
#include <stdio.h>

#define cudaCheckError() { \
    cudaError_t err = cudaGetLastError(); \
    if(err != cudaSuccess) { \
      printf("Cuda error: %s:%d: %s\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, cudaGetErrorString(err)); \
      exit(1); \
    } \
  }

struct Test {
    char array[5];
};

__device__ Test dev_test; //dev_test is now global, statically allocated, and one instance of the struct

__global__ void kernel() {
    for(int i=0; i < 5; i++) {
        printf("Kernel[0][i]: %c \n", dev_test.array[i]);
    }
}

int main(void) {

    int size = 5;
    Test test; //test is now statically allocated and one instance of the struct

    char temp[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' , 'e' };
    memcpy(test.array, temp, size * sizeof(char));

    cudaCheckError();
    cudaMemcpyToSymbol(dev_test, &test, sizeof(Test));
    cudaCheckError();
    kernel<<<1, 1>>>();
    cudaCheckError();
    cudaDeviceSynchronize();
    cudaCheckError();

    //  memory free
    return 0;
}
$ nvcc -o t10 t10.cu
$ cuda-memcheck ./t10
========= CUDA-MEMCHECK
Kernel[0][i]: a
Kernel[0][i]: b
Kernel[0][i]: c
Kernel[0][i]: d
Kernel[0][i]: e
========= ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors
$

(your array usage in kernel code also didn't make sense.  dev_test is not an  array, therefore you cannot index into it: dev_test[0]....)

World War II Memorial, DC - Iron & Manganese Reduction
Multi-Contaminant
30 gpm
In 2003, AdEdge Water Technologies began working with EarthTech, the assigned engineering firm responsible for specifying and selecting the various water treatment systems to serve the upcoming World War II Monument in Washington, DC. Stormwater and groundwater control and treatment were essential aspects of this project given the location of the site on the National Mall adjacent to the reflecting pool and Washington Monument. Based on experience and approach, AdEdge was subsequently contracted by Walsh Construction, the general contractor providing the integrated groundwater treatment system for this high-profile project.
The needs for treatment arose because of shallow groundwater collected by the subsurface drainage system inside a bentonite slurry cut-off wall surrounding the 11-acre site. Primary contaminants for treatment include iron, manganese and arsenic. Water on the site must be extracted and treated to meet the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted discharge limits prior to final conveyance to the Potomac River, which are below U.S. EPA drinking water maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). The systems are located 20 feet below ground in a secured concrete vault containing other conveyance piping, pumps and support systems for the Memorial.
AdEdge designed systems consisting of two parallel skid-mounted systems rated for 30 gallons per minute (gpm), each capable of removing the contaminants of concern. Each treatment train includes an AdEdge AD26 iron removal system and an AdEdge Packaged Unit (APU) for arsenic treatment to attain the stringent discharge limits. The water is pumped from the groundwater feed pumps and enters the dual-vessel AD26 system following in-line hypochlorite (chlorine) injection.
Hypochlorite solution is fed in-line through a computer-controlled metering and feed system capable of real-time chlorine residual measurement and control. Iron and manganese are oxidized and filtered/adsorbed with the proprietary AD26 catalytic media-based system. Treated water, free of iron and manganese from the AD26 systems, flow through their respective APU adsorption system containing NSF 61-certified media, a granular ferric oxide (GFO) media specifically engineered for arsenic removal. Attractive features of the systems are their small footprint, long media life, simplicity and minimal operator attention required.
Each of the skid-mounted systems are equipped with automatic controls, backwashing features, switches and sample ports for complete functioning packaged units. Instrumentation is provided on a control panel to measure critical operating parameters. Total gallon throughput and flow rate for each unit is measured continuously with a dedicated flow totalizing meter. The AdEdge adsorption system requires no chemicals or regeneration, and does not generate liquid or hazardous waste. Media, when spent, can be discarded as a non-hazardous solid waste.
The system was placed into operation in early June 2004 and is operated by the National Park Service.

Zombie vs. Ninja (auch bekannt als: Zombie Rival: The Super Ninja Master) ist ein Low-Budget-Ninja-Film des Hongkong-Regisseurs Godfrey Ho aus dem Jahr 1989.

Handlung
Cheng wird von einer Gruppe Dieben und deren Anführer Titus ermordet. Sie lassen Chengs Sohn, Ethan, verwundet und dem Tod überlassen zurück. Doch kurz darauf findet ihn ein Totengräber und kümmert sich um ihn. Mason, der Vater von Titus, und Kopf der Bande, hatte Cheng ermorden lassen, um mit Hilfe dessen Goldes eine einflussreiche Position in der Regierung zu kaufen. Diese sollte von Titus eingenommen, aber von ihm selbst kontrolliert werden.

Wieder gesund, stellt Ethan fest, dass der Totengräber ein Kung-Fu-Meister ist und trainiert mit dessen Hilfe, um den Tod seines Vaters zu rächen. Der Meister, Master T., kann außerdem tote Krieger erwecken, sie kontrollieren und sie kämpfen lassen. Diese Fähigkeit nutzt er zugleich als Training für Ethan, sowie als Verteidigung gegen Feinde.

Auf seiner Suche nach Mason trifft Ethan hin und wieder den Ninja Duncon, der auch ein Schüler von Master T. war. Duncon hilft Ethan dabei Masons Handlanger vom Hals zu halten und ihm den Weg zu dessen Heimstätte zu weisen. Zuvor noch etwas unerfahren, verbessert Ethan seine Ninjafähigkeiten, und besiegt nacheinander die Handlanger Masons, bevor er diesen selbst in einem letzten großen Duell tötet.

Kritik
Der Film hat eine IMDB-Wertung von 2,9 bei 533 Bewertungen.

Trivia
 Der Film wurde von Godfrey Ho im Cut-and-Paste-Verfahren gedreht, d. h. der größte Teil des Filmes besteht aus Aufnahmen aus einem anderen bereits vorhandenen und unveröffentlichten Film, und wurde durch eine neue Synchronisation im Sinn verändert und durch neu gedrehte Szenen erweitert.
 Film A, aus dem die Originalaufnahmen stammen, ist Gravedigger von 1983.
 Einer der neun Filme von Pierre Kirby und mit Full Metal Ninja der letzte, bevor er 1990 starb.

The History (so far!!) of Wild Irish Foragers
In the wilds of Co.Offaly is a small 5th generation family farm. Yes, it is small, the gates might not hang perfectly, the hedgerows are pretty wild, and grass grows in the middle of the lanes, unusual wild flowers spring up hither & thither as they wish to, but 5 generations in, we feel a deep connection with this land.
We have an old, sometimes reliable Leyland, 5 kids & a love for our little patch of Ireland. Sons, father, his father & his father & his father before him have all walked this land, cared for it, loved it and struggled to make a living from such a small patch, but they all have strived to keep it in good stead for the next generation.
Reclaiming Lost Knowledge
Back in 2008, whilst out picking blackberries our youngest daughter Emily looked up in the hedge & asked "What is that? "she didn't know what a Rosehip was! We were shocked as we had presumed that if we knew what it was then surely she knew too. How wrong we were to presume that this part of country living as we knew it was automatically being passed on. We picked some Rosehips that day & that night rooted out an old recipe and the first time she tasted Rosehip Syrup it was in a wee cup, still warm from the pot. Over the next few years we sourced old recipes for Elderberry Syrup and more and our interest grew and grew. Our passionate connection with this land had deepened even further.
In April 2013 we decided to share our love for this land and its bounty and started a small business called The Wild Irish Foragers & Preservers. From the farm we personally hand harvest Wild Rosehips, Elderberries, Damsons, Elderflowers, Gorse, Rowanberries, Sloes, Spring Nettles, Blackberries, Honeysuckle, Goosegrass, Clovers to name but a few!. From these incredible, natural wild Irish ingredients we make Syrups, Sauces, Fruit Cheeses, Jellies, Pontack and our newest product, Shrubs.
We strive to recreate a taste of the past, recipes that were used in a bygone era. Wild food used in this way is part of Irish Food Heritage, a simple taste that has been almost forgotten. When we started out we went to Farmers Markets etc. and were amazed at the level of interest in our products and the amount of people who were so thrilled to taste a reminder of many of their childhoods.
Hand Picked, Hand Crafted
All our wild berries, flowers and herbs are handpicked by the whole family, but Gordon is our main forager and all the Wildies are handmade by Sharon in small batches. To date, our products are stocked in wonderful independent shops such as The Good Food Shop in The English Market, Cork City, Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, The Fine Wine & Food Co, Athlone,, Hereford & More, Tullamore, Crinkle Stores, Dingle & are used in many restaurants & hotels around the country such as Adare Manor,Co.Limerick, Aghadoe Heights, Co. Kerry, Aniar, Galway City, ,Harveys Point, Co.Donegal and we have a growing interest from outside of Ireland.

Governor Signs Smucker Voting Standards Bill into Law
HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett signed into law Wednesday a bill authored by Sen. Lloyd K. Smucker that indefinitely extends Pennsylvania's voting standards, which were first adopted a decade ago and were set to expire this year.
SB 436 removes the sunset provision in the Pennsylvania Election Code dealing with voting standards adopted in 2003 in compliance with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002.
"This legislation ensures that consistent and unbiased voting standards will remain in place for the foreseeable future," Smucker said. "I thank the governor for his support in solidifying a critical and now permanent part of the electoral process."
In 2003, the federal government required states to begin implementing HAVA by adopting uniform and nondiscriminatory standards defining what constitutes a vote cast through a paper ballot and what constitutes a valid vote cast through an electronic voting system. The standards, which were adopted by the Voting Standards Development Board on Aug. 2, 2003, make certain county boards of elections have proper guidance regarding the validation process.
In the 2011-12 legislative session, Sen. Charles McIlhinney introduced legislation that would extend the adopted voting standards through the 2011 and 2012 elections. Smucker's bill ensures that future legislation further extending the standards will not be necessary.
