"We often look away when confronted with imagery of the sick, the deformed, the dead and dying, but in the nineteenth century there was a brisk trade in such photographs of "the other"; the circus freak, the bearded lady, Siamese twins, and so forth were popular subjects to be collected and traded. To the extent that we worry about exploitation of bodies which do not conform to the norm or suffer from some affliction, our reticence is humane; but to the extent that we refuse to confront the human condition, it is pathological."

True perverts are born, not made.
Those who are truly bewitched by a good/evil power play in their sexuality, those who have a deep impulse to stick pins in their scrotums and hooks in their nipples, or be mummified, tied up and caned by mean women in tall boots, are slightly different from other people.
Those who have tried to embrace a more "kinky" sexuality than the one they naturally possess and found themselves lacking the vital chromosome necessary know what I mean. To the so-called normal brain of the average sexual pedestrian, the black latex, hardware and dire theatrics seem more campy and silly than erotic.
The true perv, however, needs and believes in a fearful, deviant badness and hellishness in sexuality, and responds to it with all the mordant, ritualistic seriousness and ceremony of a Black Mass. If you have ever watched someone handle a pair of spike-heeled shoes with trembling awe, while you giggled uncomfortably, you know what I'm talking about.
I believe that Joel-Peter Witkin is a true, born pervert - in the visual sphere that is. What his sexual predilections are I wouldn't know. Witkin is a photographer who has been mistaken for a grave robber, whose works were described by Marina Isola in TheMet as "Part Hieronymus Bosch, part 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre.'"
He has been the reigning king of deviant imagery — indeed, the thinking Goth's favorite artist — since he came to public acclaim in the 1980s with his delicately posed corpses and bravely naked mutants, floridly arranged in beaten-silvertone, antique nightmare-scapes.
Witkin's visual world evokes a Byronesque mortician's playroom from some particularly grim 19th century fairy tale, or a weird and ghastly accident of the arts that everyone would sooner put behind them — the Renaissance, Picasso, Miro, Mapplethorpe and Buquel after a horrific spin through a large blender; everybody's legs and arms missing, recognizable styles poking through among the tattered meats, genitals and mercury.
Joel-Peter Witkin tore his way out of the womb on Sept, 13, 1939, in Brooklyn, N.Y. His father was a Jewish glazier, his mother a Roman Catholic who worked in a DDT plant. His parents were unable to transcend their religious differences and the two divorced when Witkin was young, the boy remaining with his mother. He attended grammar school at Saint Cecelia's in Brooklyn, and went on to Grover Cleveland High School.
In his 1998 book "The Bone House," Witkin claims that his unique visual sensibilities began to churn when, as a small child, he witnessed a terrible car accident in front of his home, in which a little girl was decapitated. He recalls her head rolling to his feet, her dead eyes staring upward. Witkin also cites urban crime photographer Weegee as an early influence.
In an interview with Michael Sand that appeared in World Art in January 1996, Witkin credited his father for having instilled his own latent photographic ambitions in his young son:
He took me aside and showed me some clips from Life magazine or Look magazine, the Daily Mirror, or the News (he wasn't a New York Times reader). I was about 5, and I knew when he was showing me these photographs that he was telling me he couldn't do this, but maybe there was a chance that part of him could, somehow, through me. Without saying it, I looked at him, and I knew, and he knew, that I could try.In his 1995 book "Witkin," the photographer writes: "I began making photographs when I was sixteen. That same year, Edward Steichen selected one of my photographs to be included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. That was the beginning of a life devoted to photography."
After high school, Witkin got jobs that would enable him to learn the nuts and bolts of photographic technique. He worked as a color photography printer until he enlisted in the Army in 1961, where he served as a technical sergeant and worked as a photo technician and a photographer, documenting assorted military accidents, until 1964.
After the Army, he returned to New York and worked as a professional freelance assistant for technical, medical and commercial photographers. He earned a BFA from Cooper Union on the G.I. Bill, studying sculpture, and received a fellowship in poetry from Columbia University. In 1974, Witkin was awarded a CAPS grant in photography through the New York State Council on the Arts.
In 1976, Witkin went on to pursue his graduate and postgraduate work in photography at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. While there, he received a Ford Foundation grant in 1977. And in 1978 he married his wife, Cynthia, a tattoo artist. The two live in Albuquerque with their son, Kirsten-Ahanu Witkin, and Mrs. Witkin's lover, Cynthia Cook, and another woman by the name of Barbara Gilbert, whose apparent function is to care for the post-nuclear family's three dogs.
The '80s, in their naively serious, death-rock demimonde tone, were good to Joel-Peter Witkin. He was awarded a flurry of NEA grants in 1982, 1984 and 1986 and received his MFA in 1986 from the University of New Mexico.
Over the years he'd developed an involved and zealous process for making his prints, which resulted in the silvery, found-antique quality his work became known for. Witkin scratches the negatives, then prints them through tissue paper to fuzz the texture of the image, giving the prints a specifically blurry, "timeless" quality. He then mounts the image on aluminum and applies pigments by hand. Finally, he covers the photographs with hot beeswax and reheats them, then cools and polishes. With this procedure, Witkin, a rabid perfectionist, produces an average of 10 of his coldly luxurious finished prints in a year.
Witkin's engrossing work paid off, and he continued to receive many of the best grants and awards the art world had to offer: In 1988, he received the International Center of Photography Award and the Distinguished Alumni Citation from Cooper Union; in 1990, the French minister of culture awarded Witkin the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres; in 1993 he earned a residency in France through the NEA and the American Center in Paris. What's more, he had the unquestioning reverence of all the ultra-cool, black-clad hipsters and morbid dirge-rock bands.
Witkin's subject matter is, in fact, atrocity itself, or anyone who looks like a victim of it, by accident or unfortunate birth. In 1985, he ran this advertisement to solicit models, asking the following people to contact him:
Pinheads, dwarfs, giants, hunchbacks, pre-op transsexuals, bearded women, people with tails, horns, wings, reversed hands or feet, anyone born without arms, legs, eyes, breast, genitals, ears, nose, lips. All people with unusually large genitals. All manner of extreme visual perversion. Hermaphrodites and teratoids (alive and dead). Anyone bearing the wounds of Christ.Witkin succeeded in reaching so many amputees, pre-operative transsexuals and other pinnacles of unseen society as modeling fodder that in 1989 he added to his original request: "women whose faces are covered with hair or large skin lesions willing to pose in evening gowns. People who live as comic-book heroes, boot, corset and bondage fetishists. Anyone claiming to be God. God."
God is a big theme for Witkin. Like many good perverts, Witkin seems to suffer from what I like to call "Catholic burn." As a practicing Roman Catholic, he appears to be obsessed with the fetishizing of everything nasty on the fringes of Jesus' world, of all the "other" stuff ordinarily shunned by suburban philistines and the religiously repressed: freaks, violated corpses, fists up the ass, bondage, etc.
But Witkin routinely insists it's not for prurient reasons. Oh, no. His work is a product of his higher religious leanings: "The images tended to repel and shock. Yet, I believe they possessed tender and enlightened qualities which were strangely moving … the figures were always isolated because the Sacred is always beyond nature, beyond existence."
As Witkin explained to the Seattle Times in 1994, "My work shows my journey to become a more loving, unselfish person."
While art-pop intellectuals devoured his work gleefully as an excellently trendy, shocking blackboard to wank long-haired Lacan/Foucault-inspired postmodern critiques over, the Christian Coalition was unmoved by Witkin's search for the divine. Objecting to a $20,000 NEA grant Witkin received in 1992, NEA foes featured the Witkin print "Testicle Stretch With the Possibility of a Crushed Face" in their 1993 anti-NEA protest in Washington.
Fans celebrate Witkin's ability to make the ugly beautiful, and champion his work as an explosion of mankind's refusal to confront and embrace the abject. Others, like 1993 Artforum contributor Keith Seward, argue that Witkin
often claims to see himself as "loving the unloved, the damaged, the outcasts," and such unconditional acceptance characterizes his work in general: like St. Francis of Assisi, who drank the pus of lepers in order to overcome his repulsion of them, Witkin is not a rubbernecker, an exploiter or a pessimist, but one who says Yes to everything questionable, even to the terrible. Why would you want to say Yes to death, dismemberment, or any of the other staples in Witkin's banquet of the bizarre? It's sort of like an extreme form of multiculturalism, a respect for that which is drastically foreign to you, even terrifying.Germano Celant, who was curator of contemporary art at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 1995 when Witkin had his retrospective, explains the photographer's importance with the following:
The formless and the deformed, the base and the terrifying must be brought back into the light. In this sense Witkin works with Arbus and Robert Mapplethorpe to ensure that the notion of "cruelty" is no longer hostile but is transformed into a cognitive nucleus purged of its dark and negative connotations.Despite all controversies, and despite the fact that Witkin's photographs came to the art world at a time when works of photography were rarely permitted the mantle of "high art," Witkin prints wormed their ways into the permanent collections of the world's foremost museums, among others, the Bibliothhque Nationale in Paris, the San Francisco MoMA, Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum, the New York MoMA, the Whitney.
Witkin's greatest artistic accomplishment may be the deal he was able to work out with a hospital morgue in Mexico City, which allowed him to sift through its daily supply of anonymous corpses picked up from the streets and cavalierly manipulate them into "art." "I am no longer the helpless observer," explains Witkin, "but the objectifier who chooses to share the 'hell' of his confusion visually, rather than confront the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body."
The World Art interview with Sand fully demonstrates Witkin's unflinchingly ghoulish approach to becoming a more loving, unselfish person: He discusses a time when he stayed a few extra days in Mexico City, because he "wasn't getting the bodies [he] wanted." Witkin was able to convince the men from the morgue to not simply throw the bloated corpses onto their faces in the truck, because this routinely broke their noses, making them unsightly.
Witkin described one of the dead men brought in on the last day as "a real punk, nothing good visually." But he used him anyway: "For some people, the evidence of their spirit is either there or not there in death. Nonetheless, when I saw this last guy, I said, 'I want him.' I'm in this room with a dead guy. I'm propping him up, and I put a fish in his hand as a kind of prop, and I'm checking the lighting. I take a few photographs. And as soon as he's being autopsied, he starts changing! … I turn to my Mexican translator, who is a very, very bright man, and we have seen the same thing. He says, 'He's being judged. This guy is being judged right now.'"
"Suddenly, he's not a punk any more. He's gone through this kind of transfiguration on the table, on the autopsy table. I say to the technician, 'Don't wash him down. I want all the blood from the suturing.' When they were carrying the brain, I said, 'Look at this brain — it may have contained thoughts of evil, but however he was judged, he is now a different presence!'"
Witkin goes on to claim the corpse's fingers had miraculously grown an extra 50 percent, as if he were "reaching for eternity."
In another Mexican morgue episode, Witkin described how he created "Feast of Fools," one of his more fetching still-life prints, which features a dead baby slumped amid fruity abundance. He told Sand of his horror upon discovering a drawer full of bodily fluids with severed arms, legs, eyes, penises and little children floating around in them. "Because the bureaucracy is so incredibly corrupt, no one had said 'get this stuff out of here.' No one had the balls to do it. That time I did say, 'Why am I doing this?'"
But Witkin's divine mission prevailed over his outrage, and he liberally utilized the drawer's contents. "I did have the belief that there was a purpose to my being there," he concludes, "that I could make something beautiful."
Witkin is undeterred by naysayers, maintaining that those who don't like his work in actuality don't understand it. Says Witkin, "Those who understand what I do appreciate the determination, love and courage it takes to find wonder and beauty in people who are considered by society to be damaged, unclean, dysfunctional or wretched. My art is the way I perceive and define life. It is sacred work, since what I make are my prayers."
You can imagine Joel-Peter Witkin's bloated statements explaining himself springing from the mouth of Dieter on "Saturday Night Live": "I am a dark poem. When every moment is transcendent, then images presented here will be seen as they truly were, photographs from a time resplendent in the atrocity we once called life. Touch my monkey."
In "Bone House," Witkin speaks of his realization in adulthood that his camera was, in fact, his response to the child's decapitated head that allegedly rolled into his childhood, that his camera is, in fact, "Her face!" (Mordant psycho-chord from echoey church organ. Bats flying out of belfry.)
Witkin, like a perfect '80s persona-star, never drops the mask of Serious Diremaster, never lets on whether he is giggling at how he has been able to peddle a titillating rubberneck image as "high art" via his considerable talent. But he became king of his artistic niche: those who wholeheartedly embraced body modification and other outlaw alterations of kinkiness that the late '80s and early '90s wrought on the human body. All the kids with five pounds of metal on their lips and eyebrows who've stuck their dicks in dirty animals of the night to find that cool, tar-colored "truth" will always put a Witkin on their Web site, now and forever, because they don't drop their masks, either.
For all of his nonstop posturing, at odd blasts in the Witkin collection there are simpler pieces that I feel actually pull off his higher intentions better than the more sensational, Rococo works.
"Baccante," a photo of a woman from the back, leaning, with one shriveled arm and one large arm, next to a distorted skull, asks the viewer whether deformity is only a question of perspective: Is her arm shriveled, or is it just photographically distant? Like cubist works and those of Pablo Picasso, Witkin's simpler images have less a feeling of deformity than of an illumination of the non-omniscient gaze of the viewer: You don't see all sides, you can't see everything, so don't judge.
Much of his work, however, despite his darkly fertile imagination and masterful printing process, can be labeled a fairly straightforward freak show, with Witkin utilizing little more than a mask and the nudity of the abnormal subject as a means of transporting his lofty message — a message all too easily inferred as purely prurient.
The work is beautiful enough to be "real art," but it is still an intellectually camouflaged, carny peep show of the most debased and obvious water. You can put as many flowery wreaths and as much gorgeous photo technique as you want around a dead baby, and it will be art, yes, but it is still a dead baby. It is still a sideshow for the morbidly curious, regardless of how much Witkin may drone on about the deeply religious quality of his work.
In my angrier years I thought Witkin's photographs were a great metaphor for everything, especially Hollywood: "Look, at first sight, it is a sumptuous banquet, an abundant horn of plenty. Look closer, it is in reality a human arm, being eaten by a one-legged dog, etc."
Now I say Joel-Peter Witkin's photographs are pretty, a visually avant-garde and "hep" take on the standard Pottery Barn timelessness, a good post-punk twist on shabby chic. Yes, a Witkin would look perfect on my wall right over my zucchini-green velvet love seat. Ooh! Daring.
I've always liked his photographs; I like to look at them, the same way I used to like to look at the RESearch "Freaks" book, or read the National Enquirer or listen to Bauhaus. Now, however, like these other comestibles, they have become dated. Witkin has sifted down into my consciousness as being essentially the Anne Rice of photography, certainly deserving of his place on the shelf with all of the other fine staples of Goth-style shock-rock — Nine Inch Nails, Michael Gira and the Swans, all that nasty Baudelaire yadda yadda, black-clad ultra-serious teenaged Todesangst.
Ultimately, all that careful work just looks trivial to me, silly, lowbrow and campy, because of the hard-headed perversion of the subject matter. I laugh at Witkin pictures the same way I laugh at pictures of my former self in all that eyeliner I used to wear and those pointy "Cure" boots with the skull buckles.
We all need our fright-wig period, but only the most fearful artists feel such a heavy, pounding need to express adolescent, in-your-face ideas about life, death, mortality and culture for the entirety of their careers. The artists I respect get more irreverent with age while, at the same time, they humanize; they lighten up, they drop the old mask, they actually start to care about things more and open up a little, laughing about things they used to take to heart as deathly serious. They evolve — for better or worse.
While '80s direness icons like Diamanda Galas and Henry Rollins have lightened up and are even capable of making fun of their old, dark disciplines of persona, Witkin is still cranking out big black books of self-important horror with titles like "Harm's Way: Lust & Madness, Murder & Mayhem." The enigma wears thin after a while; the mechanical Head of Fire becomes transparent. If the nerdy little wizard in the booth is able to get over himself and wave hello, you realize he isn't such a bad guy after all.
It's too much work, too much double talk, to try to art up the ruse any harder, past a certain point — to try to ascribe too much meaning to it all. Call it a good blast of horror fiction. It's more fun that way.
Oh, Joel-Peter, take your black cape off and stop scowling at the picture window. Come in and eat Thanksgiving dinner with the rest of the family.

Funny Things We Call Our Significant Others
"Boyfriend" and "girlfriend" are too high school for most grownups. But some alternatives aren't any better

His son eventually solved the problem (for him, anyway) by dubbing me "Dad's special lady friend," and it kind of stuck. So for years he'd call me that with a smile, and I suspected it allayed any deeper sense of awkwardness that might arise from being in his 50s and being unmarried.
I, on the other hand, remained flummoxed. "Boyfriend" was OK, but it felt inadequate for someone who would help my father out of the Alzheimer's ward and struggle like Ahab to get him into a wheelchair and out for a Saturday dinner in a restaurant. Archie was Betty's boyfriend. Surely the man with whom I intended to grow old was more than that.
As I continued to grapple with this issue, I did what I always do when stymied by a deep philosophical issue: I posted a query on Facebook. Replies came in from all corners of the globe, some helpful, many amusing, all enlightening. While this may not have been the most scientific approach to collecting suitable names for one's romantic partner to whom one is not married, everyone agreed that there is a void that deserves to be filled.
What We Call Our Spouse Equivalents
"Boyfriend" and "girlfriend" are the most widely used, but most people agree they feel a bit puerile. Many chimed in with "my other half," "my better half," "honey," "sweetheart," "beloved," "lover" (or its quirky variant, "lovah"), "beau," "sweetheart," "significant other." A few contemporaries noted that the jargon of our youth is more appropriate now than then: "old man," "old lady." And while some folks use "partner" or "romantic partner," the majority felt that term connotes business colleague or same sex — not, as many were quick to add, that there's anything wrong with it.
Two different unmarried-parent female friends said they call him their "baby daddy." One commented, "When someone comes out and asks if we're married, we say, 'Nah, we're just doing the Brangelina thing.'"
Some people refuse to get too worked up over it. One friend, a divorced guy, adds levity by calling his special lady friend "the" girlfriend. Another says he has two names: At first, he calls them HSE (Hope Springs Eternal), but eventually switches to his "insignificant other." And more than one recently wed friend, when asked what they used to call each other, replied, "Why do you think we got married?"
This brings up a related issue, another linguistic sticky wicket: what to call the ex. The same group of thoughtful friends offered suggestions, but most of them were unsuitable for publication. My personal favorite: "was-band." The tactful consensus: "my kids' father (or mother)."
But none of these were right for me the day I was shopping with my ex in Home Depot. He was in lumber, I was picking doorknobs. After explaining a lot of details, the salesman asked me which one I wanted. Even though we were divorced, I still valued my ex's opinion on all things matériel. But I stood there speechless, not knowing how to finish a sentence that began, "Thanks, but I need to go ask …"
Saying his name would have been too familiar. "Ex-husband" was TMI. "Father of my kid" totally inappropriate. I decided to simply say "him," but with enough emphasis to imply something. And I smiled at the man in the orange apron and left it at that.

Chicken saltimbocca. Photo: Marina Oliphant
- 2 skinless, free-range organic chicken fillets
- 8 sage leaves
- 8 slices pancetta or prosciutto
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 50g butter, chilled and cubed
Remove the supreme (the long thin piece) and set aside*. Cut chicken fillets in half. Cut each half through crossways so that you have two thin, flat pieces.
Place a sage leaf on top and cover with a piece of pancetta. Repeat until all pieces are covered (four pieces of chicken for each fillet). Dust lightly with flour.
Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan and place chicken in the pan, pancetta side down. Cook for a couple of minutes each side, until golden. Remove and set aside.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine. Scrape up any lovely meaty bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Next, add the chilled butter, a little at a time, and stir until combined and slightly thickened. When the sauce is ready, return the chicken to the pan and heat through.
Serve with steamed vegetables.
*If you're wondering what to do with the supreme, simply pan fry it and save it for sandwiches tomorrow.

Widows, Luke Fischbeck's new album as Lucky Dragons, starts with stringed instruments that almost make it seem like some sort of Americana album, except that they immediately sound weird: lighter than air, floating toward space. And it only gets spacier and more abstract from there. Widows flows more elegantly than previous Lucky Dragons releases—of jittery, visceral electronic cut-ups—like the expansive landscapes of the country which the album occasionally seems to evoke. Nature is part of the soundscape; the music almost seems to emulate its mystery and beauty, in both its expanse and actual sounds (like the bird noises that become free jazz in "V Pattern"). Lyrics are sung sometimes ("give it all away / give it all away"), or chanted. In concert, Fischbeck gives himself over to shamanistic, religious fits of ecstasy and prayer in front of his laptop. There's plenty of "real" instruments here, and numerous friends singing and playing; together they're creating some new age of new-age American music, strange and exciting.

Conserving Energy
Energy Management at Penn
An effective energy management and conservation strategy remains an integral component of Penn's Climate Action Plan 2.0, as decreasing or eliminating energy consumption is the most direct method of reducing the University's carbon footprint.
Conservation Initiatives
century bond programThe implementation of the Century Bond program will allow Penn to accelerate building renovation programs. This program includes two key components: first, $300M worth of funds were raised through bond sales in the spring of 2013, and secondly, a rigorous analysis was conducted of Penn buildings and building systems to determine how best to use the available bond funding. Nine buildings have been identified for HVAC and systems replacements, and 45 buildings are slated for comprehensive lighting upgrades. |
OPERATIONS COMMAND CENTERPenn saves more than $5-million annually in energy costs through state-of the-art central monitoring and control of utilities. From its Operations Command Center, Penn engineers can control campus-wide chilled water and steam utilities, and air-handling systems in buildings across the campus. Through sophisticated temperature/time optimization, temperature setback, and demand management techniques, Penn is able to avoid costly peak utility charges and conserve energy year-round. |
CHILLED WATER LOOPCampus buildings are fed from a central chilled water loop completed in 2007 after 19 years of planned incremental growth and an investment of over $200 million. Penn's chiller plant freezes water at night when energy costs are low to provide supplemental daytime cooling capacity, reducing Penn's burden on the regional electrical grid and saving money. By the end of 2015, there are plans to expand existing building with 10,000 tons of new steam-driven chillers and associated cooling towers. Members of the Penn Community may view total electricity usage for campus overall and by building by clicking here. (PennKey required). |
tc chan center partnershipThe T.C. Chan Center for Building and Energy Studies, a faculty-led research group in Penn's School of Design, has had a long history of providing assistance to the University's sustainability efforts. The Center completed the initial carbon emissions inventory for Penn in 2005, and since the launch of the 2009 Climate Action Plan has consulted on a variety of energy efficiency projects, including the creation of the Penn Carbon Calculator. In FY14, the Center was commissioned to provide the technical analysis of the building renovation and recommissioning proposals included in this plan, and assisted in the development of the carbon reduction goals. The Center's findings were documented in Energy, Carbon, and Financial Analysis of Climate Action Plan Scenarios for Buildings. |
green power purchasePenn continues to be the largest purchaser of Green Power among institutions of higher education, and regularly recognized by the EPA's Green Power Partnership recognition program. In 2013, the University signed a five year contract to purchase over 200M kWh of wind Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) annually. According to the EPA's accounting of voluntary REC purchases, this offsets over 50% of the emissions from Penn's total electrical usage. |
metering and cost-allocation modelWith the launch of the 2009 Climate Action Plan, Penn began a comprehensive steam and chilled water metering initiative on campus. Not only did the initiative aim to put these meters in a majority of campus buildings, but it also simultaneously implemented new visualization and analysis capabilities of the metered energy data. As of FY14, the metering initiative is 98% complete, with 388 meters installed over the past five years. With completion of the comprehensive metering initiative, Penn Facilities & Real Estate Services began to accumulate sufficient data to initiate plans for direct billing of Schools and Centers based on their actual building-specific energy use, instead of the long-standing method of billing based on an estimated costs. Billing using actual steam meter data will begin in FY16 and chilled water meter data will be used starting in FY17, with meter-based billing being phased in over four years for all metered buildings. |
energy tickerIn 2012, the Penn Institute for Urban Research collaborated with FRES, PJM Interconnection, the Philadelphia Navy Yard, PECO, EEB Hub and DOE Grid Star to develop a real-time energy ticker online to promote energy education and conservation. The energy ticker updates every five minutes and provides the current regional and wholesale price of electricity in the PECO zone – encouraging conservation by making users aware of the costliest energy use times. |
RecommissioningThe goal of Penn's Recommissioning Program, established in 2010, is to "tune-up" existing building systems back to the level at which they were designed to operate. The program assesses campus building performance and then recommends targeted maintenance and repair. As a result of the Recommissioning Program, Penn has been able to identify common Energy Saving Opportunities (ESOs) across campus. Many of these ESOs can be applied to all buildings on campus, including items like discharge air temperature reset on air handling units and the adjustment of ventilation rates to current standards. Identifying and addressing recurring ESOs throughout campus has been an important contribution of the Recommissioning Program. |

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Seed testing laboratories worldwide analyse samples for quarantine assessments to prevent the entry of prohibited and restricted seeds. Current practices of identifying seeds by comparing an unknown seed with samples of known seeds or photographs of seeds are time consuming, costly and inefficient. A Seed Identification Key using a computerised database has been developed to identify prohibited and restricted seeds. There are currently 78 prohibited and 47 restricted seeds in the database. Lucid software was used to develop the Key because of its versatility in handling both text and image data. A total of 21 externally visible seed characters were identified as most suitable for development of the Key. Explanatory images and notes are attached to the character states to assist the user in correct selection of the state. The Key may be helpful to quarantine officers as well as seed analysts working in seed testing laboratories. It may also be used as an educational tool by agricultural scientists, students and others interested in seeds.

The RGR (Ruffle Genealogy Resource) will hopefully be a collection of all the Ruffle/Ruffell/Ruffel data, like a one name study.
I currently have over 200 Ruffle names in my family history and as I have the same surname I though it would be a good name to research.
This will be an user community site i.e. I am counting on web surfers who are
family historians/genealogists to submit their Ruffle data so that it cam be
included onto this site which will hopefully become an invaluable research aid
for Ruffle researchers.
The site will have a guest book so any Ruffle info can be exchanged.
Untill the RGR is up and running you can start sending me Ruffle data via email which will be included onto the site - Please note only verifiable data will be accepted eg Census records, Parish records, BDM certificates, good quality family knowledge will be accepted for recent Ruffles (born after 1901).
A few Ruffle facts to start with:-
Common alternative names - Ruffle, Ruffell, Ruffel
Known spelling errors - Ruffall, Rubble
The UK 1881 Census shows 2 main populations of Ruffles: Hampshire based & Essex based - which ones are your ancesters?
For now try the list of individuals
to look for a Ruffle. Note most are Hampshire based.

Curt Schilling's 38 Studios, which released its first game to generally positive reviews earlier this year, closed its doors Thursday, laying off its entire staff.
Despite having received a $75 million loan guarantee from Rhode Island, the company failed to stay afloat while trying to develop a large-scale MMO called Copernicus. This despite the fact that the game it released this February, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, sold 1.2 million copies in its first 90 days, according to Schilling.
38 Studios' future had been uncertain after it missed a scheduled payment to Rhode Island earlier this month. It was later reported that in trying to make a late payment of $1.1 million, the company gave the state a bad check.
Schilling, an avid gamer even during his years in the majors, was hoping Copernicus would make a dent in the lucrative MMO market largely ruled by World of Warcraft. It was to be the first game developed by 38 Studios. Reckoning was developed by Big Huge Games, a company bought by 38 Studios in 2010.

Couldn't agree more, it's a douchebag statement at best.
- El Bravo - May 24, 2012 at 5:45 PM
Dang, I heard some positive stuff about that game that many other good RPGs (Fallout, Elder Scrolls) don't do as well (fighting mainly). If they could have stayed afloat for a follow-up release, I bet it would have done very well. Most game sequels take care of the bugs and kinks of the previous iteration, so I bet it would have been quite an improvement (see Mass Effect to ME2 as an example).

What a shame – I really liked Amalur a lot. They needed to amp their marketing budget by about a trillion, though.
- xmatt0926x - May 24, 2012 at 6:31 PM
The thing is that I don't think there were many bugs or anything generally bad in their first game at all. In every story about the financial mess they always state that the game had "favorable" or "generally positive" reviews but the sites that I read reviews on were extremely favorable. That's why I was surprised when the whole situation came up a week or so ago as far as the company struggling to pay its bills. Seems like all you can hope for as a game company is to get off to a great start with a well received game and they appear to have done that, yet they have no money. No money to the extent that they struggled to make a million dollar payment which would seem to be a drop in the bucket. I guess they dumped it all into the mmo that they were developing. It looks like Rhode Island is the only real loser here.

Where did all the money go if the game sold 1.2 million copies? I know the developer only gets a certain cut of that, but those are decent sale numbers. I bought the game and I guess no more updates for it lol

- sincitybonobo - May 24, 2012 at 7:04 PM
Hopefully, the state will recover at least a portion of this $75 million. I would assume an independent audit has taken place. RI could have given $1 million loan guarantees to 75 companies, effectively spreading the risk. I'm curious if Schilling will be less of an insufferable blowhard as a result of this episode. At the very least, I'm guessing we'll see less of him on the 2012 campaign trail. Also, I am curious what was Schilling's salary at this company. He ought to, at the least, disclose this number and return every dime to the Rhode Island treasury.
- Glenn - May 24, 2012 at 7:39 PM
I am assuming that they did not get $75 million in loans yet, just a promise for that total into the future.
- jwbiii - May 24, 2012 at 8:06 PM
Schilling was pleading for more loans last week, so he already had the full $75M.
- bloodysock - May 24, 2012 at 8:30 PM
Rhode Island provided the company about $49 million of the $75 million loan.
- chap0904 - May 24, 2012 at 7:31 PM
So the big mouth "no government spending" republican OWES THE GOVERMENT MONEY HE BORROWED FROM THEM. JERK
- Glenn - May 24, 2012 at 7:41 PM
If Schilling does not repay what it cost the RI taxpayers to support his private venture, then he is a huge hypocrite. Everyone worries about welfare, but it is corporate welfare and breaks for the wealthy that are killing us.
- flyerscup2010 - May 24, 2012 at 7:52 PM
wait, so curt schilling is in the business of taking loans from the government? i seem to recall him flapping his gums about bailouts (aka loans from the government) in 2008 while he was singing the praises of sarah palin.
- Old Gator - May 25, 2012 at 12:56 AM
Remind you of any owners of a storied MLB franchise that hasn't won a championship in a century or so?
- chap0904 - May 24, 2012 at 8:56 PM
Glenn, he has already asked to be forgiven a payment on the loan. That would be government loan!
- ufullpj - May 24, 2012 at 9:11 PM
For all the folks losing their job, this sucks – totally & completely. And that sentiment trumps everything I'm going to say below.
One of the reasons I'm no longer a registered Republican (I'm officially an independent) is because of situations like this. Here is Schilling, an outspoken arch-conservative who is griping and complaining about government spending, etc., while always screaming about the need for smaller government. Well, if RI keeps losing $49-75 Million on brutal investments like Schilling, there will be a much smaller government, including waste services, fire, police, etc. across the state and municipal levels.
The once-extremist, now more normal Republican is in favor of smaller government when it comes to regulations that impact their businesses (like the EPA for oil companies, financial reform for Wall Street, Insurance regulation for the Insurance industry, etc.) – but are then for much larger government and more government regulations on social / legal issues they don't like – such as abortion, women's health (such as planned parenthood), gay rights, tort reform, medicare, etc.
In a word, like Schilling in this case, they are all hypocrites. Or, in three words: D**che-Bag Supremes.
- rexryanstoecheese - May 25, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Guess what, you can't blame the Fox for raiding the hen house, can you?
A fox will do what a fox will do, period.
Regardless of Schilling's hypocrisy, the accountability for this disaster falls squarely on the shoulders of whichever elected officials got all starry eyed and earmarked such an enormous sum for 1 start up.From many industry accounts, the MMO market segment is extremely costly to enter with SIGNIFICANT barriers to entry. Furthermore, where is the CFO in all of this? Where is the guy watching the revenue forecast models, cost structure,
business model and long-term business plan?If you don't have the forecasted funds to support development of this MMO model in the first couple years of your existence, then you don't go all-in on that product — you develop it while launching other other products and revenue generating services- such as a follow up to the first game, as was mentioned here.
50Mill is an incredible amount of money to squander and the RI politicians responsible for passing this loan off to them should be escorted out of the State House …..today.Government and Private Sector: DO NOT MIX.
Career Politicians "trying their hand" at upstart's and private industry is like you or I trying to play in MLB after age 50. Absurd.

- xhosa17 - May 25, 2012 at 12:40 PM
Schilling is definitely a hypocrite but the blame for this falls squarely on the shoulders of the RI government official who approved the loan. The MMO industry is notorious for having a handful of real winners (WoW, EQ1, DAOC, EVE) and scores of losers that lost millions of dollars and thousands of hours of development time (WAR, Asheron's Call, APB, Tabula Rasa). Notice a trend? By and large, the success stories are backed by companies like Blizzard/Activision, Sony, EA etc…companies that are capable of creating a massive marketing machine behind the product, not to mention the development costs incurred.
But RI gave a massive loan for the development of an MMO to… Curt Schilling?! And people are actually surprised that the studio closed after Amalur sales were strong and Copernicus was in development? Happens all the time in the gaming industry.
Whoever approved that should be investigated, at the very least.
- chrisexv6 - May 25, 2012 at 2:16 PM
Too bad they couldnt keep it going.
It could have meant the end of the World (of WarCraft)
South Park anyone?
- chap0904 - May 25, 2012 at 2:32 PM
On a similar note, the billionaire owner of the Cubs (who just smeared Obama for his "spending"), is asking for government money to build a new stadium. These people have no shame and no souls.
- xhosa17 - May 25, 2012 at 4:10 PM
This gets better and better. Apparently before the loan was granted, the numbers RI was shown indicated that that Kingdom of Amalur needed to sell $3M copies to make good on the loan.
- proudliberal85392 - May 25, 2012 at 5:58 PM
Why didn't Schilling call Tim Thomas for a loan? Schilling's a typical hypocritical teabagger who wants it both ways. Problem is, a lot of innocent workers lost jobs today because of this creep.
- proudliberal85392 - May 25, 2012 at 5:59 PM
Bless you, chap0904. You are so right!

The need for approval: a psychological study of the influence of Confucian values on the social behaviour of East Asians
Cheng, Stephen Kin Kwok (1997) The need for approval: a psychological study of the influence of Confucian values on the social behaviour of East Asians. PhD thesis, Murdoch University.
This thesis begins with a critical overview of crosscultural psychology and a re-examination of the concepts of emic and etic. It argues that the time has come for cross-cultural psychology to free itself from the moorings of its Western, universalistic paradigm and take non- Western, indigenous psychology seriously, especially that of East Asia.
To address the need for an East Asian psychology, the thesis presents an empirical study on the psychological influence of Confucianism on East Asians. It hypothesises that the Confucian values of filiality, propriety and harmony induce a strong need for approval and a range of approval-seeking behaviours in the individual. In contrast, the Western values of individuation, autonomy and conflict induce a strong need for independence and a range of independence-seeking behaviours.
To test this hypothesis, a 26-item, 5-point Likert scale was developed and'administered to 1625 university students across East Asia, which include East Asian samples from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as Caucasian samples from Australia, United Kingdom and the United States.
The study has confirmed its hypothesis that the Confucian values of filiality, propriety and harmony characterise the approval-driven social behaviours of East Asians and that the values of individuation, autonomy and conflict characterise the independence-driven social behaviours of Westerners. However, it has also found that, contrary to many long-held assumptions, there are significant differences in the way Confucian values have exerted their respective influence on the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and other East Asians.
The findings suggest not only that the culturally induced need for approval can be used as an overarching construct for the psychological study of East Asians from an indigenous perspective, but also that the innovative model used in this study can be applied to the study of other indigenous psychologies as well. More significantly, the study has found that, in contrast to the need for divine approval which has motivated the achievements of European Protestants in the past, the need for human approval is what characterises the achievement motivation and behaviours of Confucian East Asians today.

Comments about Sorel Womens Caribou 9" Boot:
The last pair of winter boots I had were Sorel's. They were exactly like the Sorel Snowlion and they lasted over 35 years. Had to walk several miles in minus 54 windchill once and that pair of Sorel's kept my feet toasty warm. I often went barefoot in them to do my chores and still my feet were toasty warm. It was difficult for me to get rid of them, but the soles were worn smooth. No more traction. I wear my Sorel's all winter long, everywhere I go. You can't go wrong with Sorel. Sorel, my Forever brand.

This week, we're going to do things a little differently. I know the usual format here on AwfulVision is for me to post some poor hapless schmuck's horrible video -- possibly with a witty title, possibly not -- and then devote from 1 to 4 paragraphs to making really obvious and unfunny jokes about the video followed up with some real honest to god comments from real Youtubers.
It wouldn't let me make a number smaller than 1%. Trust me, I tried.Well, not this week.
This week we're going to feature some honestly hilarious videos from Youtube. You see, since I started writing AwfulVision last summer, I've relied on both my world renown Youtube search skillz as well as submissions from readers like you to give me new material each week. 99.9999% of the time, these videos are fucking horrible and are a scourge upon mandkind from the deepest, blackest pits of Hell (and therefor perfect for AwfulVision). The problem is that I also tend to bookmark the 0.00001% of the videos that don't suck with the intention of using them at some point.
As you are probably well aware, I'm a horribly lazy and inconsistent writer (remember when I actually used to put time and effort into my updates? Me neither!) and most of these videos haven't been used... until now!
That's right: I'm doing an entire update of videos that are actually fucking awesome. Don't get too used to it, though. Good videos on Youtube are so few and far between that their occurrence is actually well below the margin of error. These videos may, in fact, not exist. For that matter, AwfulVision may just be the result of the overactive imagination of an autistic child with a snow globe. God bless us, every one.
You may have thought that a long dead author who was basically terrified of black people would be bad at the dozens. And you'd be right.
Dr. Oz, professional TV doctor, offers up some dieting tips and advice on how to remove all your negative ions.

As you may have noticed, the most popular viral videos at any given time are amazingly banal, annoying, and cliched pieces of waste. It almost seems as if the internet naturally gravitates towards the worst possible Youtube and Google video selections. So it stands to reason that if the terrible videos become popular, then the unpopular videos must be awesome! We here at Something Awful present to you AwfulVision™, our own patented service dedicated to showcasing a wide selection of unpopular videos that apparently must be good! Welcome to Web 3.9. Welcome to AwfulVision™!

A fresh look at issues addressed a decade ago by Frances Moore Lappe (Diet for a Small Planet), Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating shines a strong light on the unhealthful, inhumane, and destructive aspects of the typical American diet. Vegan is packed with documented research, nutritional information, and telling photos. Features leading heart specialist Dean Ornish, M.D. Forward by Howard Lyman, Humane Society of the U.S.
Click here to learn more about this book Click here for Books on Vegetarianism Click here for Books on Veganism Click here for Ecological Philosophy Books
People are interested in veganism for the same reasons as vegetarianism -- not participating in practices that cause suffering, supporting more environmentally-friendly and sustainable agricultural practices, and improving their health.
With such a diversity of reasons, it is not surprising that there are many definitions of veganism. Like other philosophies, the specific meaning of vegan varies from person to person. A plurality of people who call themselves vegetarian state that their motivation is health, but the majority of vegans state ethics as the primary reason for their chosen lifestyle. An ethical vegan realizes that not only can animals suffer, but they also value their lives in many of the same ways as humans. Thus, animals are neither tools nor objects for our use, but rather individuals with inherent worth. From this understanding follows a set of specific actions; namely, choosing products that do not require using animals. Or, by the more common definition, not eating meat, dairy, or eggs; not buying leather or wool; trying to avoid products made by companies that test on animals. Beyond this basic definition, each individual has different opinions about and experiences with being vegan; there is no set list of rules to follow.
By not consuming the products that come from animal exploitation, each individual is making a statement against inhumane practices, undertaking an economic boycott, and supporting the production of vegan products with their subsequent choices. These decisions, and the message they send to others, help to move society away from industries that use animals as a means to human ends.
Although the end goal is generally the same, the path an individual takes towards veganism is a unique one. Some people follow a methodical process of cutting out foods in the order that they consider to be the most cruel, or the foods they find the most easiest to avoid. Others initially concerned with health eventually cut out "healthy" products (chicken and fish, low-fat dairy products) as they become more aware of the suffering involved in the production of these goods. Others go "cold-tofu," giving up all animal foods, donating their leather goods to charity, returning their Procter & Gamble products to the company, etc.
This eco-friendly superstore has vegan and vegetarian foods you can purchase online.
For example:
Every year, thousands of people visit Farm Sanctuary in upstate New York and northern California. Here, people have the opportunity to be touched by rescued farm animals. Farm Sanctuary also hosts various conferences and events, and operates Bed & Breakfast cabins at its New York farm.
Farm Sanctuary has videos, photos, and other resources to help educate people about farm animal abuse, and it has reached millions through the media. The organization also publishes a quarterly newsletter to keep its members informed.
A Scottish vegan family offer help and advice on veganism and related subjects - recipes, ethics, parenting, books, chocolate and a message board too.
Site Includes:
Veganism, the natural extension of vegetarianism, is an integral component of a cruelty-free lifestyle. Living vegan provides numerous benefits: to animals and the quality of their lives, to the ecological integrity of our environment, and to ourselves, by protecting our bodies from the dietary problems associated with consumption of animal products.
The meat and dairy industry causes billions of chickens, cows, and other animals untold suffering in producing milk and egg products each year. The animals suffer unspeakable cruelties in order to maximize their output of milk and eggs. Most live their short lives caged, drugged, mutilated, and deprived. Today's farms are not like the ones most of us learned about in school; they are mechanized factories where animal welfare is of less concern than profit. Veganism emerges as the lifestyle most consistent with the philosophy that animals are not ours to use.
Animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the earth. It is an inefficient way of producing food, which squanders the vast majority of all grain grown in the U.S., as well as much of our water. This increased dependence on high yields exacerbates the problem of topsoil erosion on our farmlands, rendering land less and less productive for crop cultivation, and forcing the conversion of wilderness lands to grazing and farm lands. Animal waste is a disposal problem on today's massive feedlots and factory farms, poisoning groundwater and rivers; and the disastrous effects of cattle ranching have degraded thousands of acres in every western state.
Consumption of animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart disease, colon and breast cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, and a whole host of other debilitating conditions. Vegan foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, are low in fat, especially saturated fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in fiber and nutrients. Plus, vegans get the perfect amount of protein. Cows' milk contains ideal amounts of fat and protein for young calves, but far too much for humans! Eating eggs may be the surest way to get a heart attack, as they are higher in cholesterol than any other food.
Vegan organic horticulture is a method of growing plants without the use of chemical fertilizers, sprays etc and without using any animal products (except those obtained from humans). It is a system of caring for the soil in a sustainable way to ensure it retains its fertility for future generations. It is a method of growing plants that works in harmony with nature, encouraging a wide diversity of plant and animal life to share the land with us. This leaflet is a brief guide to the basic principles of vegan organics. A list of suggested reading is given at the end should you want to find more specific information...

Shake A Leg
Idle juvenile on the street, on the street
Who is kicking everything with his feet, with his feet
Fighting on the wrong side of the law, of the law
Don't kick, don't fight, don't sleep at night
It's shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg, shake it yeah
Keeping out of trouble with eyes in the back of my face
Kicking ass in the class and they tell me you're a damn disgrace
They tell me what they think but they stink and I really don't care
Got a mind of my own, move on, get out of my hair
Shake a leg, shake your head
Shake a leg, wake the dead
Shake a leg, get stuck in
Shake a leg, shake a leg yeah
Magazines, wet dreams, dirty women on machines for me
Big licks, skin flicks, trickey dick's are my chemistry
Goin' against the grain, trying to keep me sane with you
So stop your grinnin' and drop your linen for me
Idle juvenile on the street, on the street
Kicking everything with his feet, with his feet
Fighting on the wrong side of the law, of the law
Spitting and biten' and kicking and fightin' for more

Quest:Thunderhorn Totem

Start | Mull Thunderhorn |
End | Mull Thunderhorn |
Level | 7 Requires Level 5 |
Category | Mulgore |
Experience | 65-625 XP or at Level 90 |
Reputation | +250 Thunderbluff |
Previous | Winterhoof Cleansing |
Next | Thunderhorn Cleansing |
Thunderhorn Totem is the third quest of the Poison Water quest chain, available only to tauren.
[show]Objective Edit
Bring 6 Stalker Claws and 6 Cougar Claws to Mull Thunderhorn.
To create the [Thunderhorn Cleansing Totem], you must gather the claws of the predators of the Mulgore plains. Hunt prairie stalkers for their stalker claws and flatland cougars for their cougar claws, then return to me.
You will find the prairie stalkers and flatland cougars to the east and west.
<name>, do you have the claws I sent you to gather? The Thunderhorn Water Well grows more tainted with each passing hour!
Thank you, <name>. The purity with which these beasts hunt is vital in the creation of the next cleansing totem.
The goblins will never learn the difference between contending with the land, and living in harmony with it.
Notes Edit
- The drop rate on the stalker claws seems low so you'll probably need to kill many of them before getting enough.

Rapid Fire!: Tactics for High Threat, Protection and Combat Operations
Item Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide information to enhance tactics and protection skills for those operating in high threat, protection and combat environments. This includes the operations of the following, by no means exclusive list: special operations forces (SOF), specialized military teams, security escort teams, high threat protection agents, tactical law enforcement and SWAT teams, paramilitary law enforcement teams, and also civilians intent on improving their tactical skills and knowledge. The information in this manual is derived from years of experience gained from training and operational service with SOF followed by years of employment as a security contractor in hostile environments including Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a distillation of military and security training, principles, and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) adapted to the threat and environment anticipated in this type of scenario in order to provide knowledge needed to train tactical teams to operate effectively in high threat and combat environments. Author's blog: maxvelocitytactical.blogspot.com Authors note on choosing Contact or Rapid Fire: Contact and Rapid Fire are not designed as sequels, but are aimed at different audiences. There is an amount of material, the main bulk of the tactical stuff, which is common to both books. It is not intended that you buy both, just one or the other depending on your requirements.

What is the study with the dual-task experiment that involved a colour-wheel change detection task?
Thanks, they are a little similar, but that's not quite the one I was looking for. But this paper will be useful and I do appreciate it! I have many of Hollingworth's papers, but didn't have this one. |

How can I create computer based psychology experiments using OS X?
OS X (the comment was intended for Speldosa, but also for anyone else wanting to use PsychToolbox on OS X. Just something to be aware of; it's not a show-stopper [e.g., you can install multiple instances of Matlab, or just install the latest 64-bit version and use the 32-bit version of Octave to run PsychToolbox scripts]). |

How can I create computer based psychology experiments using OS X?
Just make sure that you install MATLAB R2010a or earlier. R2010b and later versions of MATLAB are 64-bit-only, and PsychToolbox is 32-bit-only. |

Defining shyness towards strangers in confrontational situations
Indeed, given how many publications there are on the phenomena of interpersonal conflict-resolution styles, there's bound to be something out there to address the integral parts of your question. I just haven't had the time to delve that deeply, and I won't be upset if someone scoops me on a complete answer. ;) |

The immediate problem is that * is greedy - it matches as much as it can so it gobbles up everything from the start of the first gene to the end of the last gene. The solution is to use the ? modifier to make it non-greedy: /[AG]TG.*?T[AG][AG]/ig. However there is room for a little more tidying up of your script. Consider: Prints: Note that you should always use strictures (use strict; use warnings;) to catch various errors and typos as soon as possible. Avoid using $a and $b because they are special variables used by sort. The array is not needed at all as you only assign a single value to it, but in any case you should not use the same name for different variables (the array @k and the scalar $k are different variables) because you will very likely cause confusion that way - confusing scripts are hard to maintain. The = () = trick puts the regular expression in list context and allows the assignment to effectively directly assign the count of matches to a scalar. The <<REPORT in the print introduces a here doc. The following lines up to the matching REPORT behave as a string that effectively replaces <<REPORT.

Privacy eSuite (PeS)
Privacy eSuite is the 'consent engine' at the heart of our ability to capture and enforce consumer, organizational and jurisdictional privacy policies for hospitals, health information exchanges / organizations and physician practices both large and small.
PeS consists of two service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based web services:
1. |
Consent Management Service – this enables consumer, organizational and jurisdictional privacy policies to be administered and processed into computable access rules |
2. |
Consent Validation Service – this high-speed service determines if a user's access to a patient's PHI is appropriate based on the rules of the existing privacy policies. |
PeS supports 'break-the-glass' (override) access to PHI.
Standards-based privacy policies may be created at various levels of granularity including:
purpose of use – e.g. treatment, research, marketing, etc. |
information type – e.g. laboratory results, radiology exam, medication, etc. |
specific user(s), roles, groups of users, facility, etc. |
