I. Who Presents this Notice
This Notice describes the privacy practices of John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital (the "Hospital"), as well as the physician members of its workforce, the physician members of the medical staff, and allied health professionals who practice at the Hospital. The Hospital and the individual health care providers together are sometimes called "the Hospital and Health Professionals" in this Notice. While the Hospital and Health Professionals engage in many joint activities and provide services in a clinically integrated care setting, the Hospital and Health Professionals each are separate legal entities. This Notice applies to services furnished to you at John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, 47-111 Monroe St., Indio, CA 92201; Arthritis Institute, 84-719 Dr. Carreon Blvd. Ste "B", Indio, CA 92201, Urgent Care, 81-863 Dr. Carreon Blvd. Ste. 3, Indio, CA 92201; Outpatient Radiology, 82-013 Dr. Carreon Blvd. Ste.

II. Privacy Obligations
The Hospital and Health Professionals are required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information ("Protected Health Information" or "PHI") and to provide you with this Notice of legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your Protected Health Information. When the Hospital and Health Professionals use or disclose your Protected Health Information, the Hospital and Health Professionals are required to abide by the terms of this Notice (or other notice in effect at the time of the use or disclosure). Special privacy obligations, described in Section IV.D, apply to you if you are admitted to the Hospital's psychiatric unit or chemical dependency treatment center.
III. Permissible Uses and Disclosures Without Your Written Authorization
In certain situations, which are described in Section IV below, your written authorization must be obtained in order to use and/or disclose your PHI. However, the Hospital and Health Professionals do not need any type of authorization from you for the following uses and disclosures:
A. Uses and Disclosures for Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations.
Your PHI, but not your "Highly Confidential Information" (defined in Section IV.C below), may be used to treat you, obtain payment for services provided to you and conduct "health care operations" as detailed below:

Information in the directory may be disclosed to anyone who asks for you by name or members of the clergy; provided, however, that religious affiliation will only be disclosed to members of the clergy.
C. Disclosure to Relatives, Close Friends and Other Caregivers. Your PHI may be disclosed to a family member, other relative, a close personal friend or any other person identified by you when you are present for, or otherwise available prior to, the disclosure, if (1) your agreement is obtained; (2) provide you with the you do not object to the disclosure after being provided an opportunity to object; or (3) it can be reasonably inferred that you do not object to the disclosure.
If you are not present, or the opportunity to agree or object to a use or disclosure cannot practicably be provided because of your incapacity or an emergency circumstance, the Hospital and Health Professionals may exercise professional judgment to determine whether a disclosure is in your best interests. If information is disclosed to a family member, other relative or a close personal friend, the Hospital and Health Professionals would disclose only information believed to be directly relevant to the person's involvement with your health care or payment related to your health care. Your PHI also may be disclosed in order to notify (or assist in notifying) such persons of your location or general condition.
D. Public Health Activities. Your PHI may be disclosed for the following public health activities: (1) to report health information to public health authorities for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease, injury or disability; (2) to report child abuse and neglect to public health authorities or other government authorities authorized by law to receive such reports; (3) to report information about products and services under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; (4) to alert a person who may have been exposed to a communicable disease or may otherwise be at risk of contracting or spreading a disease or condition; and (5) to report information to your employer as required under laws addressing work-related illnesses and injuries or workplace medical surveillance.
E. Victims of Abuse, Neglect or Domestic Violence. Your PHI may be disclosed to a governmental authority, including a social service or protective services agency, authorized by law to receive reports of such abuse, neglect, or domestic violence if there is a reasonable belief that you are a victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence.

IV. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Written Authorization
A. Use or Disclosure with Your Authorization. For any purpose other than the ones described above in Section III, your PHI may be used or disclosed only when you provide your written authorization on an authorization form ("Your Authorization"). For instance, you will need to execute an authorization form before PHI can be sent to your life insurance company or to the attorney representing the other party in litigation in which you are involved.
B. Marketing. Your written authorization ("Your Marketing Authorization") also must be obtained prior to using your PHI to send you any marketing materials. (However, marketing materials can be provided you in a face-to-face encounter without obtaining Your Marketing Authorization. The Hospital and Health Professionals are also permitted to give you a promotional gift of nominal value, if they so choose, without obtaining Your Marketing Authorization.) In addition, the Hospital and Health Professionals may communicate with you about products or services relating to your treatment, case management or care coordination, or alternative treatments, therapies, providers or care settings without Your Marketing Authorization.
C. Uses and Disclosures of Your Highly Confidential Information. In addition, federal and California law requires special privacy protections for certain highly confidential information about you ("Highly Confidential Information"), including the subset of your PHI that: (1) is maintained in psychotherapy notes; (2) is about mental health and developmental disabilities services; (3) is about alcohol and drug abuse prevention, treatment, and referral; (4) is about HIV/AIDS testing, diagnosis or treatment; (5) is about communicable disease(s); (6) is about genetic testing; (7) is about child abuse and neglect; (8) is about domestic and elder abuse; or (9) is about sexual assault. In order for your Highly Confidential Information to be disclosed for a purpose other than those permitted by law, your written authorization is required.
Reasonable attempts will be made to notify your next of kin or any other person designated by you of your admittance for inpatient care, your release, transfer, serious illness or injury, unless you object to such disclosures. Your PHI will not be disclosed to your family members or any other person designated by you seeking information about your diagnosis, prognosis, medications and your progress unless your written Authorization is obtained. The Hospital and/or Heath Professionals will not respond to other inquiries about your treatment and will not disclose information revealing that you are a patient of the psychiatric unit to other unauthorized individuals who call the Hospital to seek information without your written Authorization. If you are a minor or have a personal representative (such as a guardian or person authorized under a power of attorney), the Hospital and/or Heath Professionals will consult with you prior to sharing information with such person. If you refuse to grant permission or are unable to grant permission, information may be shared with your personal representative only to the extent permitted or required by state law.
The Hospital and/or Heath Professionals
If you are a minor twelve years of age or younger or have a personal representative (such as a guardian or person authorized under a power of attorney), you will be consulted prior to sharing information about your care. If you refuse to grant permission or are unable to grant permission, information may be shared with your personal representative only to the extent permitted or required by state law. The Hospital and Health Professionals will comply with federal and California law in reporting your PHI for public health activities or health oversight activities. If you disclose information related to child abuse, the Hospital and Health Professionals may be required to report such information to governmental authorities responsible to investigate such abuse. If you commit a crime on the premises your PHI may be used to report the crime. To the extent possible the Hospital and/or Heath Professionals will notify you or seek a protective order prior to disclosing information to a judicial proceeding. Your PHI will not be used for marketing.
V. Your Rights Regarding Your Protected Health Information
A. For Further Information; Complaints. If you desire further information about your privacy rights, are concerned that your privacy rights have been violated or disagree with a decision made about access to your PHI, you may contact the Hospital Privacy Office. You may also file written complaints with the Director, Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Upon request, the Hospital Privacy Office will provide you with the correct address for the Director. The Hospital and Health Professionals will not retaliate against you if you file a complaint with the Hospital Privacy Office or the Director.
B. Right to Request Additional Restrictions. You may request restrictions on the use and disclosure of your PHI (1) for treatment, payment and health care operations, (2) to individuals (such as a family member, other relative, close personal friend or any other person identified by you) involved with your care or with payment related to your care, or (3) to notify or assist in the notification of such individuals regarding your location and general condition. While all requests for additional restrictions will be carefully considered, the Hospital and Health Professionals are not required to agree to a requested restriction.

A form of Written Revocation is available upon request from the Privacy Office.
E. Right to Inspect and Copy Your Health Information. You may request access to your medical record file and billing records maintained by the Hospital and Health Professionals in order to inspect and request copies of the records. Under limited circumstances, you may be denied access to a portion of your records. You should take note that, if you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor, certain portions of the minor's medical record will not be accessible to you (for example, records pertaining to health care services for which the minor can lawfully give consent and therefore for which the minor has the right to inspect or obtain copies of the record (i.e. abortion or mental health treatment); or the health care provider determines, in good faith, that access to the patient records requested by the representative would have a detrimental effect on the provider's professional relationship with the minor patient or on the minor's physical safety or psychological well-being. If you desire access to your records, please obtain a record request form from the Hospital Privacy Office and submit the completed form to the Hospital Privacy Office. If you request copies, you will be charged the reasonable cost of copies in accordance with federal and state law.

If you desire to amend your records, please obtain an amendment request form from the Hospital Privacy Office and submit the completed form to the Hospital Privacy Office.

/ Newsroom / Latest Releases / Release No. 0144.10
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2010 - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA will be holding a series of school nutrition events throughout the country to highlight the Obama Administration's efforts to improve school meals as Congress considers reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act. USDA leaders will outline a number of steps to reduce hunger and improve the health and nutrition of our nation's children.
"With childhood hunger and obesity on the rise we owe it to our child to ensure our nutrition programs address these challenges," said Vilsack. "The President and First Lady have asked the American people to join in this effort not only for our children, but for the future of our country. And this year presents an unprecedented opportunity to improve the health and well being of our children when Congress considers legislation to improve the Child Nutrition Act."
A strong reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act is the legislative centerpiece for First Lady Michelle Obama's recently announced Let's Move! campaign to end childhood obesity within a generation. USDA leadership will host the school nutrition events in regions throughout the country where participants will include food service workers, school officials, community and advocacy members, federal, state and local officials, parents and students.
"Reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act allows us to enhance the nutritional quality of school meals and improve the overall health of our school environments," said Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Kevin Concannon. "We must also continue to work towards reducing barriers and ensuring that all eligible children can participate in our school meals programs."
USDA's nutrition programs help form a national safety net against hunger. Altogether, more than 31 million children are served through the National School Lunch Program and 11 million children are served through the National School Breakfast Program. Administration priorities include eliminating barriers that keep children from participating in school nutrition programs, improving the quality of school meals and the health of the school environment, and enhancing program performance.
Dates and locations for the school nutrition events include:
Date: Week of April 5th, 2010
Location: Little Rock, Ark.
Who: Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Deputy Under Secretary Janey Thornton
Date: April 13, 2010

In 2010 6.4 million people, more than 17,000 people a day, crossed from Mexico into the United States at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Add crossing vehicles and it's more than 80,000 people a day, making it the busiest border crossing in America, accounting for one in four people who enter the country at a U.S. border crossing, according to Customs and Border Protection statistics.
At a press conference held at the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce Thursday, the South County Economic Development Council revealed a survey conducted over the course of the last year of pedestrians crossing into the U.S. from Mexico.
The results concluded that slow border waits are draining economy on both sides of the border and undermining economic growth in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
A San Diego Association of Governments study released in 2005 found that inefficient border crossing drains billions of dollars from both sides of the border and more than 100,000 jobs.
More than 5,800 surveys were completed with people coming from Mexico into the United States between July 2010 and June 2011.
Roughly five percent of people surveyed had SENTRI passes or another form of Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler programs to speed up crossing time.
With SENTRI passes, the average wait time for people surveyed was 20 minutes. People surveyed without a SENTRI pass waited 52 minutes and two hours at peak times.
- 71 percent cross the border at least once a week, 27 percent cross daily
- 38 percent were American citizens and 44 percent were Mexican citizens
- 31 percent cross for shopping, 23 percent cross for business or work and 20 percent cross to visit friends or family. 10 percent cross to attend school.
A little more than 50 percent of pedestrians crossing the border came for business, work or shopping.
Another survey conducted by Crossborder Business Associates found that Mexican citizens spent between $70-100 million in San Diego during the holiday season in 2010.
"The amount of economic activity that we are leaving on the table due to excessive and unnecessary wait times at the border is inexcusable," said U.S. Congressman Bob Filner, who joined business and political leaders from both sides of the border.
"Improving efficiency at our Port of Entry will make our border safer and help stimulate the economy on both sides of the border," he said.

12oz bottle served in a Prairie Teku
A - Pours a cloudy glowing orange color with a massive frothy head that mounds up and with billowy foam. Great sticky lacing patterns. Very cool looking beer.
S - Bready, fresh hoppy aroma, tangerines, Mandarin oranges, spicy, dried mace and clove are prominent.
T - Bright citrus, some tropical fruit, mango and papaya, pureed peach, malted wheat, lightly spicy yeast, there's a soft sweetness that is rounded out with a slightly spicy bitterness. Finishes fruity with some bitterness left on the palate.
M - Very smooth and creamy body, ample carbonation, the wheat gives it plenty of heft without being too heavy.
Not your typical Weizenbock but very tasty indeed. The dry hopping is welcomed and the twist of tropical and citrus fruit really works with the wheat malts almost giving a bright lift. The body is smooth and creamy and the beer is beautiful in a glass. This is a must try.

Pours an insanely huge, dense, white head that has tons of persistence and laces all over the place. A bright, astringent, citrus-rind aroma with some yeastiness behind it (not good, but not bad...definitely weird). Hazy, straw color. Starts off with a huge burst of citrus hops, then warming booziness as the sweet malt starts to show. Medium bitterness, and a yeasty, citrus finish atop of smooth malt.
This is a weird one. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. It is quite good, but also odd. It's a yeasty, somewhat sweet, malty brew with a HUGE citric quality that isn't necessarily out of place, but just really unexpected. Definitely not for everyone (myself included).

Pour is hazed deep amber with a tight off white head leaving a thick lace. Nose is interesting, a lightly muddled wheat malt and spicy earthy yeast note give way to lemon and clove with a touch of candied lemon. There is a bit of an herbal back end. Taste has a lot happening, the wheat malt is up front, its earthy and musky. The yeast is quite spicy mingling with the candied lemon and some sweetness through the finish. Well carbonated, spice lingers, peppery. Body is full and creamy, faint dryness and a bit sweet through the finish.

12 oz bottle poured into a stemless wine glass. No bottle date, but this isn't the most recent Thumbprint release, so I assume that this is at least a few months old. I love the Thumbprint series, and this may be one of the best.
A - gorgeous beer, near perfect. It pours a huge head, even on a gentle pour, rising three, four fingers high. It recedes very, very slowly from the sides, remains thick in the middle, lacing all the way up to the top of the glass. The color is a nice orange, semi-translucent, some sediment, pervasive carbonation bubbles.
S - delicious. Sweet hints of citrus right up front, followed by some dank, Belgian-yeast. Not unlike a Berliner Weisse, yet very subtle. The alcohol is undetectable.
T - good. There are some interesting things going on here. This beer almost drinks like grapefruit juice, because there's not much carbonation at first, and it starts bitter, threatens to overwhelm, but quickly becomes sweet. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a bret yeast strain, though it's not as biting as I'd expect. The base is certainly wheaty, but the flavors stack in a really nice way.
M - there's balance here, but it's not like any beer I've ever tried. There's some sourness and bittnerness that clings to the mouth, making it less smooth than it could be. The alcohol, again, is well-hidden.
O - one of my favorite New Glarus beers to date. I hope they bring this one back.

Bottle from a generous friend. Pours a hazy orange yellow with a massive creamy and fluffy white to off-white head. The head just won't quit! Beautiful fruit medley of banana, pear, bright citrus, spicy earthy funky yeast, bubble gum, floral notes of hibiscus and jasmine, and even what smells like some dank hops. This is beautiful, really incredible nose. The flavor is big florals and zesty hops up front followed by sweet pears and orange citrus, then finishing with a funky banana yeasty ness. There is significant zest to this in front of what seems to be a nice hefe and the combination is both unique and deliciously refreshing. I am surprised at how bright the hops still are, as I waited way too long to drink this. Medium body with medium high carbonation and loads of complex flavors. New Glarus does it again. I could drink this all day and there is no sign of the 9%+ ABV anywhere. This one could get dangerous.

Reuven Cohen, Contributor
I focus on disruptive trends in technology and cloud computing.
It's been awhile since I've had to sit down and actually build something for the web. When I started developing websites way back in 1995 there really were not a lot of choices other than a text editor and some good old fashion trial and error. I still remember the day I received my first copy of FrontPage, not the Microsoft Microsoft version but the Vermeer Technologies version pre-acquisition. Later, as my company grew I began to do less and less in terms of actual development work until finally the company was acquired. Now in my new role, I'm finally getting the opportunity to explore my developer roots and explore some of the latest approaches to creating web and mobile applications.
A lot has changed since 1995, literally anyone with almost no technical capabilities can crank out a web or mobile app with ease. So I thought I'd take the opportunity to share some of the more interesting App development platforms I've discovered recently.
Knack - Create online databases. All by yourself.
Knack is an interesting platform. Where many companies in the data space focus on so called "Big Data" solutions, Knack has created what can be best described as a cross between Filemaker Pro and Caspio for little data. They describe themselves as a way to build simple web apps. The DIY tool is focused on building web apps that work with your data. The platform makes including functionality like search, custom forms and data display a breeze. The cloud service can be easily integrated in your website via a Javascript or web API.
Although the company is very new, it has already managed to attract a dedicated customer base including a variety of up-starts like transportation management platform MileLogic.com who are using the plaform to manage & track fleet assets, truck mileage, jobs dispatching, and taxes. Another firm using the plaform is Prontomarketing.com who uses it for creating custom reports and pivot table searches. The company says that "this sort of thing just isn't possible by using Google Google Spreadsheet formulas. With Knack they are finding all sorts of new ways to explore and share our data."
Appery.io - Cloud-based Mobile App Builder
Another very cool platform is Appery.io formerly called Tiggzi. The platfrom is described as a "cloud-based HTML5, jQuery Mobile and Hybrid Mobile App Builder." It's very easy to use and builds real cross platform HTML5 applications using jQuery Mobile. It supports Android, iOS and Windows Phone using integrated Apache Apache Cordova/PhoneGap output. As the builder is running in the cloud, there is nothing to install or download so it's very easy to build your app using a powerful drag and drop visual builder tool. The company says "a mobile UI is not very useful without data so Appery.io connects to any REST API that can be easily used in your app. You can even test the REST API before using it on the page and automatically define the service response structure. This makes it very fast to try any new service."
Codiqa - Pure HTML5 with jQuery Mobile
If you are less programmer and more designer then you'll love Codiqa. Similar to Tiggzi, but less developer focused, Codiqa's drag-and-drop interface allows for fast and easy mobile prototype building, with a Preview mode to test your prototype. The cloud based platform builds your App with 100% HTML5 components. Their pitch is you can take your idea, prototype it, and output real, usable code. No need to code all over again after making your prototype. No coding necessary.
Conduit – Make Free Mobile Apps
By far the simplest mobile application builder I've found is from Conduit. Their pitch is pretty simple, "build stunning app designs quick and easy — no coding, one click and it's ready!" I've tried the application for a Virtustream Mobile App and I was literally able to develop an App for both iOS and Android in a matter of minutes. The tool includes a variety of components such as social feed, RSS, events, e-commerce, notifications and more. They will even submit your App to the various App Stores for you. If you're non-technical. This is the solution for you.
Kinvey - Bring store-ready mobile apps to market faster
Kinvey is probably the most technical of the various cloud based app development platforms I looked at. But if you don't mind a little programming, it's probably the most powerful too. The company describes itself as "taking the hassle out of building and operating mobile backends" and like the others listed it comes through on its promise. Kinvey's value proposition is to "eliminate your risk by reducing backend development time from weeks to hours, allowing you to prototype faster and with less effort. No servers to spin up and manage, no "API spaghetti" to detangle, no tedious backend code (e.g., database, user / file management) to write. And you never have to pay unless your app is successful." Major companies like Johnson & Johnson Johnson & Johnson and startups like Fetchnotes have built apps on Kinvey. It's a very nice platform and worth a closer look.
I would like to add http://cloudbase.io to the list – full service for mobile applications including cloud database, custom functions in the cloud, multi-platform push notifications and analytics. Supports all mobile platforms
Thank you!
Another i would recommend is Strikingly.com. For a simple website which is cross platform this is the one for beginners.
Hey Reuven, thanks for the great mention of Codiqa! We are definitely humbled to be on this list, and excited for where the market is headed and where we are headed with Codiqa.
If anyone has questions about Codiqa I'm @maxlynch on Twitter.
Hey Reuven, please check out http://mobileroadie.com, we have been around 4 years, over 3,000 LIVE apps in iTunes and Google Play, and powering among others apps for the World Economic Forum, Harvard University, Allthingsd, the Wynn Las Vegas, Rolling Stones (just featured by Apple), and many others. We're not based on HTML5 (most other app platforms are) but true native code which benefits the user experience and return rate significantly.
Hey Reuven, great list of tools. We would like to add http://www.AppMedia.com.au for those interested in Australian based mobile app builders. Thanks for the post!
I recommend giving a look at http://hull.io – Social platform as a service for developers.
It goes even further by packaging social mechanics on top of a database layer, and exposing them through an API.
It also offers a complete client architecture with a large library of ready-to-use widgets, something that's missing from most backend-as-a-service.
It really allows something to be built in minutes, like this instagram clone in HTML : http://gram.hull.io (less than 300 Lines of code)
Hi, we have just launched our mobile web-app builder which we hope you find interesting www.zapplab.net
Happy to be using Knack so far! I'm with Pronto Marketing (www.prontomarketing.com). If anybody has any questions or would like to know how we're using Knack more feel free to shoot me a mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Silver Star was awarded to 1st Lt. Thomas E. Cogan, executive officer for Company E, Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, June 9 by Lt. Gen. Robert R. Blackman, commanding general of the Okinawa-based III Marine Expeditionary Force, during an early morning ceremony held at the camp's West Chapel.Cogan, a Philadelphia native, was presented the award for actions during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Ramadi, Iraq, while serving as the platoon commander for 3rd Platoon, E Co., during April of last year.On April 6, 2004, 2nd Platoon was ambushed by enemy forces while moving to reinforce a heavily engaged unit. With total disregard for his personal safety, Cogan led his platoon across a fire-swept field and directed fire. Though caught in the crossfire, he exposed himself to direct fire in order to cross an open field and position himself to direct fires on the enemy. His actions enabled the company command element to move to safety. After consolidating his platoon, Cogan led his men through a fierce, three-hour, house-to-house assault that destroyed remaining enemy forces in his zone of action.Blackman spoke to the Marines attending the ceremony about the award, hailing Cogan's deeds on the battlefield as great leadership under fire."Lieutenant Cogan displayed great tactical skill in a combat environment, leading his Marines and pursuing the enemy," Blackman said.Cogan also spoke, giving a few short and humble words about his accomplishment, thanking those in attendance for their presence, but mostly attributing the award to his Marines who where involved in the action."I'm sure, at times, my Marines were wondering 'What is this guy thinking?'" Cogan said. "But they never hesitated, and it's because of their hard work and willingness that we were able to push through."

- Score the steaks lightly on both sides using a sharp knife. Place in a shallow baking dish. Pour the Italian dressing and Worcestershire sauce over them, and sprinkle with garlic. Rub the marinade into the steaks using the back of a spoon or fork. Turn steaks over, and repeat on the other side. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grate lightly with a paper towel dipped in olive oil.
- Grill steaks for about 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Great marinade! I cut the recipe in half and used Kraft Light Italian dressing. I added a little more olive oil and instead of salt and pepper I used a douple dashes of Montreal Steak seasoning. I let it marinate overnight. Very garlicy and very good!
I used Kraft Light Zesty Italian, accidently doubled the worsheshire sauce and purposely doubled the garlic, and it came out just fine! So I would say this is a forgiving recipe, since you can screw it up and it still comes out a hit. Will make again.
marinated for 2 days, tasted like i had just poured vinegar all over it. was so bad no one could eat it

Former CIA agent sentenced to 30 months in prison for leaking classified info to reportersA former CIA officer who was charged with repeatedly leaking classified information pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to a single charge of disclosing the identity of an undercover CIA operative.
Under the plea agreement, the former officer, John C. Kiriakou, will be sentenced to prison for up to 30 months.
But he is most widely known for being among the first former CIA officials to speak publicly about the agencys secret interrogation program, describing in a 2007 television interview the use of waterboarding on al-Qaeda suspects.As part of the agreement, the Justice Department dropped four other charges against Kiriakou, including allegations that he had illegally shared sensitive national defense information with reporters and had lied to the CIAs publication review board about the contents of a memoir he published.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Drugmaker Glenmark Generics says it is recalling seven lots of birth control pills because in some packages, the pills were in the wrong order.
Glenmark says the pills were distributed between Sept. 21 and Dec. 30.
In some packages, blisters of pills were rotated so they were not in the proper sequence. The error also made the lot number and expiration date harder to see, and company says the recall applies to any blister package for which the lot number and expiration date are not visible.
A month's supply of birth control pills contains three different medications that are each taken one a day for a week, and a week's worth of inert pills. If the pills are taken out of order, they may not work.

CHAPEL HILL — Students at Carrboro Elementary School may transfer to other schools next year because the school failed to meet federal No Child Left Behind standards in reading for the second year in a row.
When a school does not meet standards in the same subject two years in a row, the district must offer at least two options for parents wishing to transfer their children.
The test measures performance in subgroups of students, and a school still falls short even if different groups miss the mark in consecutive years.
This year, too few Hispanic students at Carrboro Elementary passed the reading exam. Last year, too few students in the low socioeconomic category passed.
Parents of Carrboro Elementary students may choose to send their children to Estes Hills Elementary or Ephesus Elementary because all other schools in the district are at or above capacity.
This year, Estes Hills Elementary in Chapel Hill was on the state's watch list under reading. But it met its reading goal and is now in the clear, school officials said in a release.
The Orange County Schools district did not release its reading exam results Tuesday because school officials are still verifying the figures. Officials expect to release them later this week, said Anne D'Annunzio, the district spokeswoman.
Math is the other subject monitored under the No Child Left Behind Act. But none of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools is on the watch list for math, said Diane Villwock, the district's testing director.
The math results won't come in until Oct. 5.

Pacific hosts Music in May; film student screens production in Portland festival; media arts projects appear on Grant's Getaways.Jenni Luckett | Editor
A little student life came back to Pacific's Forest Grove campus this week, as almost 400 high-schoolers descended on the school for the Music in May 2012.
Founded in 1948, this is one of the longest-running high school music festivals in the country, now featuring the opportunity for elite young orchestra, band and choir students to come together from throughout the Pacific Northwest, experience college campus life for a few days and perform great music.
Recent graduate Ashleigh Simons writes a bit about this year's festival on the Pacific University homepage. I, however, offer a story from a previous year: In the early 1970s, my mom was a participant in Music in May (she's fabulously musical, particularly vocally—a talent that skipped me and landed straight on my sister). Unfortunately, she spent the weekend at Pacific miserable with the flu. I hope all of this year's participants are having a much better time!
Meanwhile, though the College of Arts & Sciences' undergraduate classes are on summer hiatus, the "arts" portion of Pacific's liberal arts focus is still thriving.
Tonight, film and video major Anika Tobiason '13 is screening her film, Reveillant, at the Experimental Film Festival Portland. The festival features dozens of films over a weeklong period. Tobiason's production is one of 19 shorts that will be screened at Studio Two, 810 SE Belmont St., starting tonight at 8:45 p.m. Tickets are $6.
You also can catch some of the work of recent media arts graduates and students at home on your TV this weekend. Korina Kaio-Maddox and Molly Trotter, both 2012 graduates, along with senior Alexa Block '13, produced segments of this weekend's Grant's Getaways show that appears on KGW NewsChannel 8 this weekend. Working under the instruction of Grant McOmie '75 (and working with videographer Jeff Kastner '05) in an electronic media course at Pacific, the students produced segments on local outdoor adventures, including a white-water kayaking trip with Pacific's Outback program, local hiking and the Tree to Tree Adventure Park near Hagg Lake. The Forest Grove News-Times writes about the students' work in this week's newspaper edition, and you can catch Grant's Getaways on KGW NewsChannel 8 on Saturday evenings and on Northwest Cable News at 10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays.

For three weeks each year, from late February to early March, the city of Perth in Western Australia enjoys more than just the heat and endless sunshine of a glorious summer. Residents and numerous visitors revel in one of the biggest arts events on the Australian calendar, the Festival of Perth.
This year marked the 47th in its history, and also the swan song of its director David Blenkinsop, who departed after 23 years at the helm. Irishman Sean Doran, responsible for steering the festival into the new millennium, comes highly qualified for the job after running a similar event in Belfast under the auspices of Queens University.
The festival's program features music (both contemporary and classical), theatre, visual arts, film, and dance, and offers such a diverse program there is usually something to appeal to everyone's taste and budget. Dance was a main course at the festival this year, with French and Australian contemporary companies receiving star billing.
Burswood Theatre, a former casino showroom that was recently revamped, hosted the festival dance program, which gave the venue a high-profile opportunity to launch its new "theatre" format. All three visiting French companies performed there, and its wide proscenium arch stage, huge wing space, and the most comfortable seats in town made it an ideal dance venue.
Compagnie Montalvo-Hervieu opened the dance season with Paradis, an extraordinary work that uses video inventively, with live dancers interacting with their video doubles, creating images that amuse and confound. The style of dance embraced everything from hip hop to classical, funk, African, and street dance. Working with video has been a priority for the company for the last eight years, and it has created an amazing visual universe with the use of it in Paradis.
This presents some serious lighting challenges in the endless struggle to balance light levels to suit the onstage dancers, the audience, and video. The company's technical director, Yves Favier, is a cool operator who takes it all in stride, believing that nothing is impossible if you've got the time, money, and creativity. "All of our productions are works in progress, with small details being refined and reworked all the time. What we do with video is not difficult, it just requires a lot of precise planning."
The production was performed on an empty stage in front of a plastic cyclorama/projection screen that had invisible slits in it, allowing the dancers to make surreptitious entrances and exits that melded with the projected video action. The lighting was overseen by Favier, who described the basic design concept as being "blue, blue, and more blue in a monochromatic way. Jose Montalvo, the choreographer, is experiencing a Picasso-like 'blue' period at the moment."
The design calls for double Rosco 79 --which most people would agree is a pretty serious dose of blue--as well as Rosco 119 and Lee 120. The fresnels with the double R79 also used a heat shield to stop the gel from burning at a rapid rate. "It's been very expensive for us in the past to use such saturated colors and watch them not even last a performance, but the heat shield gives us good value for money by expanding the life of the gel," Favier says.
The lighting rig was focused to keep the light off the cyclorama but there were a number of sequences where the onstage dancers worked very close to it when interacting with their video doubles; tightly focused ERS profiles were the obvious luminaire for this area. Favier had to compromise on his preference for plano-convex (PC) spots for the color washes by using fresnels, when he realized that Australian theatres don't carry the same level of stock of PCs as found in France. He prefers the beam texture of PCs to fresnels and feels they work better for this production.
It is always interesting to observe the relationship between video and lighting and see which wins the struggle for domination, but in Paradis the marriage is a successful one and the visual balance is just right. This is a tight show with a lot of wit and style, and Favier says the calling of the video, sound, and lighting cues is so precise it's like being on headsets during a NASA countdown.
Olivier Tessier is the lighting designer for Centre Choreographique National de Nantes, the second French company featured this year. His lighting for Humains, Dites-Vous! (Humans, Tell Us About Them!) is influenced by 16th-century paintings from masters such as Michelangelo, da Vinci, Botticelli, and Titian. With its haunting tableaux, the choreography by Claude Brumachon is inspired by the misery, intrigue, tension, and darkness of the religious wars that pervaded this period in France's history.
Tessier's philosophy is that the LD is there to service the production and not seek attention for the lighting unless it is warranted. "I enjoy painting the body and assisting the choreographer to sculpt the form. In the first half of Humains I was greatly influenced by the costumes and how restrictive they were for the dancers."
This restriction is reflected in his dark, moody, and very tight lighting states. This was not a design based on washes but on confined areas out of which eerie tableaux emerged. Such was the control of the movement and the stillness of the light, there were moments when one could believe that the tableaux truly were paintings from the old masters.
Scenes were sculpted with multidirectional light angled from above, sides, or simply from the back, with Tessier's use of gobos carving even more texture out of the light. Humains was performed in a black box with a minimal set, with dirt spread all over the stage floor. The dancers' movements caused dust to rise and be caught in the beams, further enhancing the texture of the light.
Tessier loves working in dance because he finds it a challenge to light the human form. "I like to use hot colors, not primary colors, just rich, intense ones, as they always look so great on bare flesh. You can do so much with the naked body and light, but I like the light to be soft."
Across town, Australian LD Mark Howett was immersed in lighting a futuristic world for local dance company Skadada's production, Electronic Big Top, which featured aerial work, bungee dancing, and blacklight theatre. Howett worked closely with set designer Andrew Carter to devise a visual style for the production.
"Andrew and I spent a whole day together in his studio in the hills outside of Perth with phones switched off and no distractions. Choreographer Jon Burtt had originally said to us that he was interested in a visual style that reflected influences of the movies Blade Runner and Delicatessen, but Andrew and I decided that since we didn't have a lot of money we would devise a more intangible concept that we knew we could pull off without an enormous budget."
The pair's concept was to have all the visual elements on the vertical rather than the horizontal. Howett was conscious that even a horizontal lighting bar would destroy the visual impact so he looked for other solutions once he saw the shape of the scenic elements. "Andrew had created a series of large suspended cones made from transparent sailing cloth that took the light brilliantly. We filled them with dry ice and it was amazing to watch the fog squeeze out through small holes in the bottom of the cones and fill the space without reaching the floor. Usually you worry about dry ice distributing evenly over the space but we were interested in the random nature of the dispersion, which worked really well."
The performance was divided between the aerial and earthbound worlds, and one of the challenges for Howett was creating a lighting environment that was safe for the aerialists yet still looked stunning. "Initially I had problems with the aerialists who weren't used to working with the kind of lighting states I was creating, but once I took them out into the auditorium to look at the stage they understood what I was trying to achieve and they were fine about it."
The primary light sources were the side booms, although only 10-20 luminaires in the rig were actually focused on the dancers--the rest were focused on the cones or slashing across the space to create texture. Howett also used eight High End Systems Trackspots(R) controlled from a Jands Hog 250 desk to add some flexibility to the rig and achieve shifting angles. "I really hate performers exiting awkwardly and there were a lot of entrances and exits in this show, so I'd sweep the Trackspots at the end of a dance phrase to take the attention away from the performers moving offstage."
The only colors Howett used was Lee color correction (both blue and orange), as he was after a clean, unsaturated look that worked well with the costumes and the space. "There was a lot of black on black in this show and I found that the muted colors I chose were great for slicing bodies out of the space."
Back at the Burswood Theatre, the final dance production for the festival, Almanach Bruitax (Almanac of Noises) from Compagnie Castafiore, was intriguing audiences with its quirky and surreal visuals. Spanish lighting director Begonia Garcia-Navas found herself in a difficult situation when she rejoined the company. "I work with this company and another dance company in France, moving between the two. I actually hadn't done this show for a year, and when I looked at the lighting plan I realized that many changes had been made since I last rigged it. Some of them I didn't agree with, so I had to try and put them right in a tight time frame."
Garcia-Navas enjoys touring and adding her own stamp to the lighting even when she is not originally responsible for the design. "I find that working with dance companies is a collaboration, so even though I may not be credited as the lighting designer I still have input, since it's up to me to make it work on the road in a multitude of venues with a whole range of equipment." Garcia-Nevas loved working at Burswood, being one of the few touring LDs to come through who could actually operate the Avab Viking desk, the only one in Australia. "I've used the Viking in Europe, so it wasn't a problem for me, and the crew was really helpful: very friendly and professional."
After three weeks of stimulation and excitement, the event is over and the touring productions move on, leaving Perth to enjoy the tail end of yet another perfect summer, made even more so by the international delights of the Festival.

Many people are genetically predisposed to hate cilantro.
If you've got a particular dislike for cilantro, it looks like you now have something to blame it on besides a picky taste in food- your DNA. You wouldn't be alone in your dislike of cilantro either. Even Julia Child hated it. So how do genetics determine your love or hate of cilantro? Here's how researchers found this out.
To verify that genetics play a role, neuroscientist Charles J. Wysocki determined that identical twins typically have the same feelings on the leaf. In school, did your Biology or Anatomy teacher ever have you do a genetics lab where you see if you can smell or taste certain things? That same principle is what affects how much people like cilantro.
Wysocki essentially heated up some cilantro. First, the "soapy" smell that people hate came out. After, the pleasant "herb" smell came out, but only those who liked cilantro could smell it. Wysocki hypothesizes that it's because of either a mutated gene or a missing receptor gene, like in the case of people who can't smell flowers.
Though he says it's still speculative, the idea that a dislike of cilantro is something to blame on genetics should be good news for those chastised for it. So the next time someone raises an eyebrow at your dislike of cilantro, you can feel free to bust out Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."

Thanksgiving – what's it all about, really? Oh, I know on this Black Friday, some arose early for the special sales, however, I can't think of anything worth the setting of a 4 a.m. alarm, with the exception of a family need, of course. I am also positive most of us enjoyed turkey sandwiches on this day and flipped the TV channels for the Big Game.
One: shopping, Two: eating, Three: football. – is that all? Of course, not – read as I evaluate, calculate, and, perhaps, even demonstrate the attributes of Thanksgiving.
Freedom – we, as U.S. citizens, have the freedom to celebrate. We may celebrate in any fashion that we choose, as long as it is legal. Most American households gather with family members, enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of roasted turkey, dressing/stuffing with giblet gravy, cranberry sauce, pecan, pumpkin, or sweet potato pie (probably all three), plus, two or three favorite-family-dishes, along with sweet tea and coffee, with dessert. After the big meal, we have the freedom to watch football, take a nap, call out-of-town relatives, hug aunties and kiss the babies. Hey, we can almost accomplish all of these activities simultaneously – just takes a large screen TV, comfy recliner, and a room full of relatives and friends.
Tradition – again, we, as U.S. citizens, have the option to follow the longstanding tradition of thanking our Maker for His gracious Blessings. Yes, Americans may celebrate our heritage with a thankful heart, without the intrusion of governmental soldiers storming the door. We may gather in a church of our choice to rejoice and offer thanks for our bountiful harvest – whether the harvest is in the form of good health, friends and family, kindnesses of church family members or even strangers. We may gather peacefully and offer our heartfelt thanks to our Lord.
At this time of year, I am always drawn to what is traditionally known as The First Thanksgiving. History recorded the 1621 event was when the Plymouth settlers held a harvest feast after a successful growing season. The reason for the success was attributed to Squanto, a Patuxet Native American who resided with the Wampanoag tribe. He taught the pilgrims how to plant and harvest corn. The generosity on the part of the Wampanoag tribe also included food donations from their Chief Massasoit during the prior winter. Without the food donations, the fledging colony would have surely perished.
It is recorded the Pilgrims celebrated at Plymouth three days after the successful harvest. The following is a personal account of the 1621 feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts:
"Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labor. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which we brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty." Edward Winslow
During the Revolutionary War, the First National Proclamation of Thanksgiving was given by the Continental Congress in 1777:
FOR AS MUCH as it is the indispensable Duty of all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God: to acknowledge with Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received, and to implore such farther Blessings as they stand in Need of: And it having pleased him in his abundant Mercy, not only to continue to us the innumerable Bounties of his common Providence; but also to smile upon us in the Prosecution of a just and necessary War, for the Defense and Establishment of our unalienable Rights and Liberties: particularly in that he hath been pleased, in so great a Measure, to prosper the Means used for the Support of our Troops, and to crown our Arms with signal success:
'It is therefore recommended to the legislative or executive Powers of these UNITED STATES to set apart THURSDAY, the eighteenth Day of December next, for SOLEMN THANKSGIVING and PRAISE …"
During the next 90 years, several presidents issued proclamations for individual days that proclaimed Thanksgiving, but in 1863, largely due to a series of editorials written by Sarah Josepha Hale, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a National Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November 1863. Since that time Thanksgiving has been observed annually in America.
President Lincoln's successors continued the tradition of the event celebrated on the last Thursday of the month, until the year of 1939, when November had five Thursdays – an unusual occurrence. At that time, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday as Thanksgiving, rather than the fifth Thursday.
It was on November 29, 1963 that President John F. Kennedy spared the life of one selected turkey – a practice known as "pardoning" a turkey. The practice became a permanent tradition in 1989 and has continued each year.
The First Thanksgiving feast celebrated in 1621 featured, among other food items, fowl or turkey. The U.S. has continued the tradition serving roasted turkeys as the main course of the Thanksgiving Day meal. Throughout our nation, many communities collect donated turkeys for those who are in need. Meridian is considered a generous community, as is the entire state of Mississippi. This week many families enjoyed a full Thanksgiving meal donated by kindhearted local folks, churches, organizations and individuals.
Last week, as I visited a large private school in Jackson, during the Thanksgiving Feast, children were dressed as Pilgrims and Indians. Parents and grandparents joined students and faculty for the annual celebration. In this 21st Century, the memory of a fall day in 1621 has continued the grand tradition of Giving Thanks for our bountiful harvest.
Oh, and Tom Turkey, football, and Black Friday – I'm sure the Pilgrims and Indians would join in the fun, with thankful hearts.
