Individuals who pose a clear and present danger to other residents (including, but not limited to, registered sex offenders) are not eligible to live in university housing. Individuals with felonies on their record will be required to disclose details of the felony. The university retains the right to not offer housing to a student on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of GCU's Housing Background Check Committee.

Graduate Students:
Graduate students (including traditional, non-traditional and cohort students) and graduate assistants are not eligible for campus housing, including remote GCU housing. The exceptions, based on availability, are as follows:
- International students with F1 visas
- Student athletes
Graduate students with extreme circumstances may appeal. Please review the Housing Appeals Committee section below.
Residential Course Load Requirement & Eviction
Residents must maintain a full-time enrollment status of 12 credits each semester, eight (8) of which must be taken in the traditional campus format. If a resident's course load falls below the course requirement, the resident will be subject to immediate housing removal as described below. Students below the credit requirement may appeal to the housing committee to remain in campus housing.
Housing Removal Process
Students who fall below the course load requirement including, but not limited to, dismissed or withdrawn students, are subject to immediate removal from GCU housing. The following process will take place:
- Housing staff will contact the student's student services advisor to verify enrollment status.
- Housing staff will call the student.
- The student will be served a first housing removal notice via letter and email with detailed instructions regarding move-out and checkout. Students are provided two business days to complete checkout instructions.
- Building staff will be notified of the pending housing removal.
- Failure to move out by the established deadline will result in the following:
- $150 improper checkout charge applied to student's account (for each failure to respond to notice)
- Second and/or third housing removal notice
- Building access turned off
- Meal plan turned off
- Please note: Public Safety will remove student from all on-campus living areas after third housing removal notice.
ABANDONMENT - PERSONAL PROPERTY: The university shall hold the resident's personal property for a period of 10 days after the university's declaration of abandonment. The university shall use reasonable care in holding the resident's personal property. If the university holds the property for this period, and the resident makes no reasonable effort to recover it, the university may sell the property, retain the proceeds and apply them toward the resident's outstanding rent or other costs that are covered in the lease agreement or otherwise provided for in title 33, chapter 10 or title 12, chapter 8, and have been incurred by the university due to the resident's abandonment. Any excess proceeds shall be mailed to the resident at the resident's last known address. A resident does not have any right of access to that property until the actual removal and storage costs have been paid in full, except that the resident may obtain clothing, the tools, apparatus and books of a trade or profession and any identification or financial documents, including all those related to the resident's immigration status, employment status, public assistance or medical care. The university may destroy or otherwise dispose of some or all of the property if the university reasonably determines that the value of the property is so low that the cost of moving, storage and conducting a public sale exceeds the amount that would be realized from the sale. "Abandonment" means either the absence of the resident from the dwelling unit without notice to the university for at least seven days, if rent for the dwelling unit is outstanding and unpaid for 10 days and there is no reasonable evidence other than the presence of the resident's personal property that the resident is occupying the residence — or the absence of the resident for at least five days, if the rent for the dwelling unit is outstanding and unpaid for five days and none of the resident's personal property is in the dwelling unit.

Wyatt, Nordness Pick Up BIG EAST Weekly Honors
Sept. 24, 2012
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Following a week in which she notched five points—the first five of her collegiate career—DePaul freshman Elise Wyatt was named the BIG EAST Conference's Rookie of the Week. Joining her is junior defender Kylie Nordness, whose strong backline play earned her a spot on the BIG EAST Honor Roll.
In DePaul's 2-0 shutout of Saint Louis on Thursday, Wyatt, after a great run on the attack, dished out an assist on the game-winner to pick up her first career point.
It was Sunday's efforts against Pittsburgh, however, that gave Wyatt edge over her fellow freshman counterparts.
With the Blue Demons leading the Panthers, 1-0, in the second half, Wyatt provided the insurance. In the 59th minute, the Victoria, British Columbia native found herself in the right place to make an impact. After Natasa Radosavljevic sent a well-placed service toward the box and Rebekah Roller tapped it forward, Wyatt got behind the defense to finish with the header and give DePaul the 2-0 lead.
Less than a minute later, Wyatt found the back of the net once again—this time, with her foot. Wyatt took a pass from Radosaljevic and buried it into the lower left side of the net to give the Blue Demons a commanding 3-0 lead. The Rookie of the Week honor is DePaul's first since Tiffany Jordan was awared it on September 3, 2007.
Despite the flurry of goals, DePaul's backline needed just one in both contests thanks to the play of its backline, anchored by the junior Nordness.
The Wisconsin native played in all 180 minutes of both matches, helping DePaul to back-to-back shutouts. Sunday's shutout effort boosted the Blue Demons to a 2-1 record in BIG EAST action.
The conference honors are the first of both Wyatt and Nordness' careers.
Marquette goalkeeper Amanda Engel earned the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week nod, while Notre Dame's Cari Roccaro picked up Offensive Player of the Week and Georgetown's Emily Menges was named Defender of the Week. The conference release can be viewed here.
The Blue Demons return to conference play on Friday as they travel to Storrs, Conn., to take on the Huskies on Friday night. That Sunday, DePaul then heads to Providence to battle the Friars to close out the weekend.

The Articles and Resources section of the website is dedicated to these questions and many more including selling tips, approaching galleries and others.

Investigators Take Action Following Heathrow Fire
Thursday, July 18, 2013
Nearly one week ago, a fire erupted inside a parked Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 at London's Heathrow Airport. Thursday, the British Air Investigation Branch issued a bulletin urging the deactivation of an emergency transmitter on all 787s. The British investigators stopped just short of blaming the Emergency Locator Transmitter for the fire.

What it is: Marzipan, or some cousin of the almond paste, is common in many cultures, and often shaped into fruits or even small animals. Thailand has its own unique twist, which perhaps assuages guilt over eating too much: making the paste with mung beans and coconut milk, and then shaping the candies into tiny vegetables (preferably chili peppers). Sugar and jasmine water help create a glossy exterior that makes them almost too pretty to eat.
How it tastes: Mexican candy lovers will be disappointed—no actual pepper flavor here, but rather a mild coconut, mixed with the flowery aroma.
Where to get it: For all the intricate work, you can still buy a handful at street markets in Bangkok for about $3.

In a battle of state-ranked lacrosse teams, No. 9 Grand Haven took to the road and scored a huge victory at No. 7 Holland Christian on Tuesday, 10-8.
Jack Bouman led the Buccaneers' attack with three goals and two assists, while midfielder Jake Vieau added two goals and an assist.
Jared VanOordt had a goal and two assists, while Matt Mulcahy led the defense with eight ground balls.
"This was a battle from the first whistle," said Bucs' coach Murle Greer. "Holland Christian is so talented and well coached. Our defense was key, taking the ball away from the attack and forcing turnovers.
"We had a slight edge in face-offs, which turned out to be crucial in a close game like this. Defender Matt Mulcahy was extremely important in the win with turnovers, loose balls and scoring a late-game goal, which locked in the win."
Junior Varsity: The Bucs suffered an 8-1 loss at Holland Christian despite 13 saves from goalie Tristan Groh. Adam Penland scored his team's lone goal, assisted by Luke Blauvelt.
Casey Davis continued her torrid scoring for the Grand Haven varsity girls lacrosse team, putting seven balls in the net in the Bucs' 15-12 win over West Ottawa on Monday.

Category: naming twins
I am name obsessed. When I am reading at bedtime to my eight-year old son, I will pause as we encounter new characters, "Hmm … Polly, that's a good name isn't it?" before he puts his fingers in his ears and begs for mercy, "Stop the naming madness, Mummy!"
I scan the credits of every TV show, hoping for divine inspiration.
My own mother taunts me; "You have been making lists of names since you could write and you can't even chose a name for your own daughter. But I don't like Ruby, dogs are called Ruby, the stupidest person I know has a granddaughter called Ruby, I don't want a granddaughter called Ruby."
I am due with non-identical twin girls in about four weeks time. My partner and I agreed we'd name a baby each. He has chosen his name – Leonora Mary.
If a recent New York Times article is to be believed, naming a baby is more anxiety-inducing than ever before. So much pressure to find the one. perfect. name. But what happens when you need two perfect names and I don't mean in succession. Like virtually everything else to do with having twins, is naming them double the trouble?
There is a real sense in which choosing a pair of twins' names is just like choosing a sibling set. For me, the same basic rules applied. The names had to be complementary and of a comparable level of originality. They had to roll off the tongue together, because, lord knows, they will be spoken in tandem more often than you can imagine. It would be a bonus if they shared some common, but not overwhelming, feature: a group of letters perhaps or a vague significance of meaning. Better yet, a sense of style. I have seen, for instance, all of my children's names described as "Antique Charm." This was a happy coincidence for the first two. For the twins, as numbers three and four, it felt almost like a necessity.
Guest blogger Laura Blackwell offers some practical advice for naming multiples–based on her own experience.
When you find out you're having twins, your baby-naming duties get more than doubly complicated. The moment my husband and I saw that second jellybean on the ultrasound, some of our plans went out the window. Since then, we've learned about many challenges and much confusion over twin names–some before naming our daughters, and some after.
Nameberry has already touched on several of the pitfalls of naming multiples: the matchy-matchy names, the rhymes, the names so different that anyone they meet will think one kid got the "good" name. The following are some more of the surprises that parents of multiples encounter.
Equal weight: If you're into the meanings of names, finding comparable names for your kids can be challenging. In childhood, my friend Craig was taunted by his sister Cynthia. "I'm named after a goddess," she told him, "and you're named after a rock." They're not even twins. Thinking about that made us decide against giving one of our twins a mythological name and the other the name of a flower.
Initial difficulties: Cute as it may seem to name your kids with the same first letter, it can cause problems. I have heard twin moms say that their insurance tried to deny claims as double-billing, based on the first initial and birth date. And if originality is important to you, limiting yourself to one letter may backfire. I know three different moms who named their twin daughters Hayley and Hannah (with spelling variations).
"Which one is the boy?": Boy/girl twins are the most common type of multiples. Many well-meaning people will simply assume that one of your kids is male and the other female. Gender-ambiguous names, such as last-names-as-first-names, add to the confusion. If you're naming your boys Cooper and Edison, brace yourself for compliments about your "daughter's" long eyelashes. Which one they call the daughter will vary.
They can't even tell the names apart: Have you ever heard a restaurant hostess call "Denise," only to have a peeved-looking Dennis stand up? Not everybody is good at phonetic spelling. To many of the people your kids will encounter in life, Casey and Cassie look like the same name. Your children will almost certainly share a birthdate, and if they're same-sex, they may look a lot alike…it's better if at least their names are different.
This blog is adapted from our most recent book, Beyond Ava & Aiden: The Enlightened Guide to Naming Your Baby
Twins offer a rare opportunity for parents to choose two related names at the same time, but also multiply the potential difficulties of sibling naming. With twins, it can be more tempting to use rhyme, sound play, and same initial names, but in our opinion pairings like Eddie and Teddy, Faith and Charity, or Nicholas and Nicole should be relegated to a time capsule.
While same-initial names that are clearly distinct from each other – Garrett and Grace, say, or Susannah and Simone – are okay, different-initial names are consistent in style and tone are preferable.
Some celebrity examples that work: Brad and Angelia's Knox and Vivienne, Julia Roberts' Phinnaeus and Hazel, Patrick Dempsey's Sullivan and Darby, and Marcia Cross's Eden and Savannah. Although each of these sets of names is very different in style and feel, they all embody the qualities that matter most in twin names. Each name in the set is distinct from the other yet they make a harmonious pair – exactly what most parents would wish for the twins themselves.
Gender compatibility may be more important for twins than it is for siblings. One pair of starbaby twins whose names don't quite work as well as they should: Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Jessie James and D'Lila Star. Both are girls, yet Jessie's name seems thoroughly boyish while D'Lila's is feminine to the point of frilly. Melissa Ethridge's twins are Johnnie and Miller – but unless you know their middle names, you wouldn't guess that Johnnie is a girl, Miller a boy. Such gender confusion seems needless, well, confusing.
Lookydaddy.com's Brian Sargent, today's guest blogger, is the stay-at-home dad of now-four-year-old twin girls and a third-grader. Those are his daughters, above.
My wife and I knew it would be tough to name twin girls, so we assigned ourselves jobs. My wife's job was to suggest possible names for consideration. My job was to say I didn't like them.
Not to be immodest, but I did my job well.
"You're not even trying, anymore, are you?"
I did my job so well that toward the end of my wife's pregnancy, I began to fear for my life. With each passing week, in an attempt to sleep comfortably, my wife had stacked foam pads, sleeping bags, pillows, and even an air mattress on her side of our marital bed, and as the twins' due date approached, I knew that all she would have to do was roll over in the middle of the night to literally crush the baby-name objections right out of me.
I kid, of course. My wife could have never rolled over without my help.
Finally, exasperated with the selfless way in which I saved my children from names that belonged to my ex-students or had too many Ys, this is what my wife did: She wrote down a list of her ten favorite names, posted it on the refrigerator, and informed me none of the names could be removed from the list unless they were replaced with better ones.
So there they stood: Ten names. Who knows where they came from? Some I recognized as my wife's coworkers. Some may have been from TV shows. And some were there simply to make me wonder why I had ever thought my wife and I had enough in common to successfully raise a child together. And, unless I could come up with better, two of them would become my twin girls.
I never came up with better. The two girls currently pulling on my arms as I type, giving my spellchecker a run for its money, bear names that came from that list of ten. And you know what? It's fine. In fact, it's more than fine. When I look back on it, I'm not sure why I was such a jerk about the whole name-choosing process in the first place. My girls, my beautiful, wonderful Lila and Victoria, are beautiful and wonderful no matter what we call them. And besides, they turned out to be identical, so it's not like we use their names anyway. Beats us who is who.
But, happily, neither of them are is Hester.

Jennifer Trefelner: Sunrise Theatre plans free summer movies
What better way to beat the heat than relaxing in an elegant theater watching a classic movie, indulging in tasty snacks and having a cocktail bar at your disposal?
Fortunately for us, the Sunrise Theatre in downtown Fort Pierce is offering free movies this summer on its big screen!
Thanks to sponsors Humana & Coast 101.3 FM, every Sunday at 3 and 7 p.m. from July 10 through Aug. 28 we will be able to watch classic movies in a classic venue.
Pick up free tickets between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Sunrise, 117 S. Second St. Tickets are limited to four per person, and there is no assigned seating.
The usual movie snacks will be served from the concession area, but unlike your typical theater, the Sunrise has a full bar available.
"I think guests will enjoy watching these classic films in a historic theater," said Sunrise executive director John Wilkes. "The majority of (the free) films have been previously shown ... when the Sunrise originated as a movie theater."
My husband has fond memories of enjoying his first big screen experience at the Sunrise Theatre, coming downtown for a fun evening movie with his family. We are blessed that this great tradition has returned to St. Lucie County this summer!
For more information, visit, www.SunriseTheatre.com.
July 10: "Gone with the Wind" (divided into two parts)
This film, based on the 1936 best-selling book by Margaret Mitchell, sold more tickets than any other box-office hit. For comparison, "Gone with the Wind" was seen by more than double the amount of movie-goers of the incredibly popular film "Titanic." Wilkes said some guests are even planning on dressing like antebellum Southerners when attending this movie.
July 17: "Citizen Kane" and "All the President's Men"
I look forward to this Sunday, and watching Kane, a newspaper tycoon who dies uttering his cryptic last word, "Rosebud." He leaves a reporter with the job of uncovering the significance of this famous word. After dining downtown, I will return to the Sunrise for the next film, which stars Robert Redford. Watching the trailer of "All the President's Men," which uncovers the details of the Watergate scandal leading to President Nixon's resignation, enticed me to make plans for a lazy afternoon.
July 24: The Godfather (parts I and II)
The original "Godfather movie," about the power struggles of a fictional mafia family, received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay, and is ranked third on the American Film Institute's top 100 movie list (behind "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca," which also are being shown at the Sunrise). Imagine seeing this action and these actors — Brando! Pacino! — come alive again on the big screen!
July 29: "Some Like It Hot" and "Rebel Without A Cause"
Marilyn Monroe is chased by the cross-dressing Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in the afternoon. In the evening, Natalie Wood runs around with bad boy James Dean.
Aug. 7: "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Wiz"
Take the kids to these G-rated movies. First, enjoy the classic in all its Technicolor glory, reveling in Dorothy's ruby slippers and cheering when the Wicked Witch finally cries, "I'm melting!" Later, check out the Motown version, released in 1978, starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and Nipsy Russell.
Aug. 14: "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon"
Watch the danger, love, excitement and quests for passion and power unfold once again. Then realize why Humphrey Bogart was a star.
Aug. 21: "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"
Both of these films explore racial prejudice. "To Kill a Mockingbird," based on the classic novel by Harper Lee taught every year in schoolrooms across the U.S., takes a more serious approach, while "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" allows room for a few laughs as Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy learn their new son-in-law is Sidney Poitier.
Aug. 28: "Patton" and "Apocalypse Now"
If you like war movies, this is the day for you. Based on the controversial American general's World War II career, "Patton" is depicted as a biographical war film and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Stay for "Apocalypse Now," which was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry in 2000.

- After getting the radioactive substance, your child may have pictures taken right away or may have to wait several hours or days to allow the radioactive molecules to travel throughout the body.
- Nuclear medicine scans themselves do not hurt, but your child may need to have an intravenous (IV) line inserted into a vein or a catheter inserted into his or her bladder, depending on the exam. Your child may be a bit uncomfortable for a moment when the IV or catheter is first inserted.
- A nuclear medicine scan can take from a few minutes to several hours to complete.
- Children who may not be able to stay still for the entire test can be given sedation medication to help them sleep during the test; however, sedation is not necessary for most nuclear medicine tests.
- On the day of the test, there may be special rules for eating and drinking.
Fast Facts About Sedation
Your child's doctor may recommend that the scan be done under sedation so your child is able to stay completely still for the whole test. That means your child will be given medication to make him or her sleep during the entire scan.
- If your child receives sedation medication, he or she will not feel anything during the scan or remember it afterward.
- Either a doctor, physician's assistant (PA) or certified registered nurse practitioner (CRNP) will prescribe the sedation medication for your child, depending on your child's age and medical history. A pediatric radiology nurse will give your child the sedation medication.
- The sedation medication may be given to your child either orally (through the mouth) or intravenously (through an IV placed in your child's arm, hand, or foot) depending on his or her age. There are no inhaled medications given. This medication will take effect very quickly once it is given.
- During the test, your child's heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen level will be checked continuously by a pediatric radiology nurse.
- A supervising pediatric radiology doctor is always nearby when sedation medication is given.
What Is A Nuclear Medicine Test?
A nuclear medicine test uses small amounts of a special liquid known as a radiopharmaceutical to look at and to treat diseases. Nuclear medicine tests are safe and give doctors pictures of the human body using a special camera.
Other radiology tests, such as MRI and CT scans, take detailed pictures of the body. Nuclear medicine scans can show changes taking place inside the body that other tests cannot. These detailed pictures of the body's functions help doctors evaluate a problem, choose the best treatment, or see how well a treatment is working.
The radiopharmaceutical is given either by an IV line directly into a vein; by breathing it in; by a catheter placed into the bladder; or by eating a solid or liquid meal before the test. Once it reaches the part of the body that is being tested, the radioactive substance sends signals that can be read by the nuclear medicine camera. The amount of radioactivity that your child will receive is about the same as the radiation in other radiology tests, such as CT scans or X-rays.
Home Preparation
- Have your child wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes on the day of the test.
- Depending on the type of nuclear medicine test, there may be specific things you may need to do or bring with you. You may contact the Department of Pediatric Radiology for specifics for each nuclear medicine test.
- The prescribing doctor will tell you if your child may take any medicine before the test.
- You may want to bring along a "comfort item"—such as a favorite stuffed animal or "blankie"—for your child to hold during the test.
If sedation has been ordered for your child, there are important rules for eating and drinking that must be followed in the hours before the test.
- Your child may not have solid foods or milk products up to 8 hours before the scheduled time.
- Formula-fed babies may be given formula up to 6 hours before the scheduled time.
- Breastfed babies may nurse up to 4 hours before the scheduled time.
- Your child may have ONLY the following liquids: water, Pedialyte® and apple juice up to 2 hours before the scheduled time. Your child cannot drink anything carbonated.
The Test
There are several types of nuclear medicine tests. Depending on the type of nuclear medicine test being done, your child may be given the radiopharmaceutical either by an IV line directly into a vein; by breathing it in; by a catheter placed into the bladder; or by eating a solid or liquid meal before the test.
Nuclear medicine tests are done at the Department of Pediatric Radiology of Children's Hospital by a nuclear medicine technologist. In the room will be a nuclear medicine technologist and sometimes a pediatric radiology nurse. You will also see a table and a nuclear medicine camera. The lights will be dim inside the room.
- Your child will usually be asked to lie down on the table.
- The technologist may place a Velcro strap across your child's waist or use a papoose board to help him or her stay still during the test.
- During the scan, the camera will either move over your child's body or stay in one position, but will not touch your child at any point. The scan itself does not hurt.
- The technologist will remain in the room for most of the test.
- If your child received sedation medication for relaxation or sleep, he or she will be taken to the recovery area to be watched until the medication wears off and he or she is awake again.
After The Test
After the nuclear medicine scan, the quality of the pictures will be checked by a radiology doctor. Once the quality is approved, then the test is complete. A report of your child's scan will be sent to the doctor who ordered it, usually within 48 hours. If the results are urgent, the referring doctor will be contacted immediately.
- Please contact the doctor who ordered the scan for the results.
- If your child did not receive sedation, then no special follow-up care for your child is necessary. Your child may resume his or her normal activities and diet when you get home.
Waking Up/Going Home After Sedation
- If your child received sedation for the scan, he or she will be moved to a recovery area after the scan and will stay there until the medication wears off. The length of time it takes the medication to wear off will vary, as some children take longer than others to become alert. The minimum amount of time spent in recovery is 1 hour.
- Your child will not be discharged until he or she is able to eat and drink. A nurse in the recovery area will give your child juice and crackers.
- When your child is discharged, he or she may still be groggy and should take it easy for the rest of the day.
- Your child may resume normal eating and drinking when you get home.
- Your child may resume normal activities the next day.
A Parent's/Guardian's Role During the Test
We welcome your help and support during this test. One parent or guardian is invited to join your child in the scan room. Other adults and children must stay in the waiting area.
- If your child is having sedation, you will be asked as the parent or legal guardian to sign a consent form before the sedation is given.
- The most important role of a parent or guardian during the test is to help your child stay calm and relaxed. It is important that your child stays still when the scan is being done.
- The best way to help your child stay calm is for you to stay calm.
- We encourage you to talk to your child and hold his or her hand, if possible.
- If an IV or catheter must be placed, you can help by reassuring and calming your child. Please tell the staff of ways that they might also help in keeping your child calm.
- Please do not distract the technologist or interrupt the test in any way.
- We welcome your questions, but please ask them either before or after the test.
- If your child needed sedation medication, you should gather all of your belongings after the scan is finished so your child can be taken immediately to the recovery area.
Special Needs and Patient Preparation
If your child has any special needs or health issues you feel the doctor or technologist performing the test needs to know about, about please call the Department of Pediatric Radiology at Children's before the test and ask to speak with a nurse. It is important to notify us in advance about any special needs.
Before you come to the hospital, explain to your child what will happen in words that he or she can understand. Preparing your child beforehand, as well as comforting your child during the test, will help your child have a more positive experience. Sometimes it is difficult to know how to explain tests to children. If you have any questions about ways to prepare or support your child, please contact the child life specialist at the phone number listed below.

Kristen Parker is accused of swapping out a powerful painkiller called Fentanyl for saline while she worked at Rose Medical Center. Investigators suspect she injected herself with Fentanyl and then filled up the dirty syringes with saline before placing them back on an anesthesiologist's cart.
Parker has hepatitis C and Rose has sent letters to 4,700 patients who had surgery at Rose or at the Wolf Building, warning them they could have been exposed to the disease. She also could have exposed another 1,000 patients at the Audubon Surgical Center in Colorado Springs.
Now a hospital in Westchester County, New York is notifying about 2,800 patients that they could have been exposed to hepatitis C because Parker worked there last year before she moved to Colorado.
At least 10 people connected to Rose have tested positive for hepatitis C, but investigators aren't positive Parker is the source of the infection.
No patients at the Westchester County hospital contracted hepatitis C from there, but the hospital is alerting patients as a precaution.
Parker is in federal custody and the U.S. Attorney's office says she could potentially face more charges from the New York investigation.
If Parker is found guilty on all charges she currently faces, she could face more than 30 years in prison. If the court finds her actions seriously harmed someone, she could face additional prison time. If the court finds her actions caused death, Parker could face life in prison.
Parker claims she did not know she had hepatitis C when she started working at Rose, but Rose maintains the hospital told her she was infected after getting back positive test results.
Rose has offered free testing to anyone who may have been exposed to the disease. The Westchester County hospital has done the same thing.

Good boot
By Zeke
from Fairbanks, AK
Love this boot. I read another review before I bought it and ordered over size, as it said they run a little small, which they do. Ended up fitting perfect. The heel lockdown is great, no heel lift at all, excellent board control. Nice snug fit all over, and still released when I took a hard fall.

Tough to beat cwb bindings. These are fairly flexible and good for boning out grabs and such. But they also provide enough support and heal lock for those hard landings in the flats.

Business Partnership Agreement
Locate a Local Business Lawyer
What's a Business Partnership Agreement?
A business partnership is a legal document that governs the terms and conditions for individuals to conduct business as partners. It outlines the duties and responsibilities of the partners, and also defines the scope of activity for the partnership. It is basically a contract among the various partners that provides legal enforcement for the terms of the business operations.
The business partnership agreement may be referred to in instances of dispute or legal contention regarding the activities ofthe business and the partners. In the event of a lawsuit or a violation, the court may examine the agreement to determine the partnership's information and stance on certain legal issues.
What Is Contained in a Business Partnership Agreement?
A partnership agreement should be clearly written and should include precise details regarding the company's activities. It should include:
- Information regarding each partner (names, contact information, etc.)
- Duties and responsibilities of partners
- Allocation of profits and losses for the partners (these are typically equal amongst partners)
- The scope of the partnership's functions and activities
- The goals and mission statements of the partnership
- Restrictions on management and leadership
- Instructions regarding termination and dissolution of the partnership
In addition, some partnership agreements may contain a clause defining what should happen in the event of a legal dispute. For instance, the agreement may state that legal disputes may be resolved by lawsuit. Or, the agreement may state that the parties must seek alternative methods first such as dispute resolution or mediation. This all depends on the preferences of the parties.
Can a Partnership Be Changed or Amended?
In most cases, a partnership may be changed or amended at the agreement of all the members. Voting procedures may be instituted for determining which changes can be made to an agreement or not. This may be important for many partnerships, since the needs and requirements of the partnership may change over time. This is especially true if the partnership has experienced large amounts of growth. In such cases, the agreement may need to be reworked in order to reflect the new aims and needs of the organization.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Help with a Partnership Agreement?Partnership agreements can often be complex legal documents. It's in your best interests to hire a lawyer for help with a partnership agreement. Your attorney can help you draft the document, and can also review the agreement for accuracy. In the event of a legal dispute, your lawyer can go over the partnership agreement to determine your rights, and can represent you in court as needed.

It has been raining, well sprinkling really, all day today and the weather is nice and cool. No gusty winds or downpours, just enough rain drops to cover everything in a thin layer of water. It's days like today that remind me of when I was in grade school; whenever it rained, it always meant that it was time for grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. Now, whenever it rains, I feel that I am obligated to make some version of this, like a grilled cheese sandwich made with focaccia dipped in tomato basil soup.
Today was a day to do things a little differently, though. I've had some bread bowl loaves hanging out in my freezer, and I was just waiting for the perfect recipe to use them. What I thought of was an amalgamation of things that I love! One being tomato soup (with spinach in this case), another being sourdough bread bowls, and lastly, some cheddar shreds. All of the ingredients came together beautifully, with the browned bread bowl with its flavorful soupy filling and cheesy topping; it is definitely the epitome of comfort food.
Of course, the only problem with tomato soup when it's nearly December is that tomatoes are not in season (but, don't tell my tomato plant that), so I have resorted to using canned sauces and tomatoes. Which I have to say, feels a lot like cheating considering that I'm used to roasting tomatoes and making soup from scratch. But, this makes it a super easy recipe to make, that your family can enjoy in no time.

A few weeks ago Luke and I made the fast drive down to Vegas for some sun and slots. I didn't actually gamble, which is a shame when you are in Vegas. There was a crew of friends down from Salt Lake and I ran into former Utah climbers Pete and Heather Lowe. That is one of the best parts of climbing, you are bound to run into friends at any destination when the weather is good.
Cerre Francis climbs Red Rock
Pete has been establishing tons of new boulder problems and guided us to a few of them. It is always amazing to me how boulders can sit fifteen minutes from popular areas and go unclimbed for years. I am still nursing a finger injury from months ago. It has been really hard to deal with and my patience and ego make it even harder to allow it to heal.
I climbed a beautiful line that was tall and crimpy and I had to throw a heel-hook at the top which is always exciting when you're 18 feet up. I wish I had a photo, but Luke had to spot me instead. After that climb, my finger hurt which makes my mind overtake my climbing and I couldn't seem to manage getting ten feet off the ground.
There was this cool traverse (photo) with a hard start and finish which was perfect for my head, I didn't need to worry about falling and got some good climbing in. It's hot in SLC, time for routes or a much needed break if I can wrap my head around taking serious time off.

Operating Manual to Space Ship Earth
By James Hancock in Video on Wednesday 11 June 2014
I love Buckminster Fuller's 'Operating Manual to Space Ship Earth. Fuller is not technically an architect but I really dig his overarching way of thinking about things. There seems to be a groundswell of popular interest in this way of thinking about philosophy/design/politics/urban planning that is super exciting. Maybe it's got something to do with […]
Pen-ee Half Frame camera
By James Hancock in New Products on Wednesday 26 October 2011
I recently picked up a PEN-EE 1/2 frame camera on Ebay and have enjoyed getting back into film. Because it gets 72 shots to a roll of 36, it almost feels like you can casually take photos like a digital camera but it's film, so it looks amazing and random stuff happens. I LOVE THAT.
Rod and Gun Club: a private social club in Brooklyn
By James Hancock in Cool Travel on Wednesday 26 October 2011
Wandering aimlessly around Williamsburg the other night I stumbled across a garage that had been converted into a mini-venue. A classic Brooklyn makeshift space.

Such a monkish soul in the midst of the most fickle industry around. It's amazing to see someone who works at photographing every hour […]
