May 27, 1970 - Jim Morrison interviewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Companies Tony Thomas. I know I'm a little late with this one, but it's such an interesting interview with Jim Morrison and isn't as widely known as other interviews, so I thought it's still of interest to Doors fans.
Interviewer Tony Thomas asks Morrison many excellent questions including timely (and dated) ones such as the 'generation gap' or the repercussions of 'unisex'. Morrison is also able to explicate and expand on his thinking of many of his ideas including "the medium is the message, and the message is me" (not what it may appear to be about at first reading) the idea of 'Connectors.' Morrison also talks about the role of the spectator in society, and comments on the function of war and heroes, and keeping mind Morrison had been exposed to those ideas his whole life from his fathers military career, something Morrison's audience at the time was probably not aware of, the hindsight making it all the more insightful and ironic.
There seems to be some discrepancy in the dating of this interview, it wasn't published until September of 1970 leading some to conclude that it wasn't recorded until August or September of 1970. Whatever the true dating of the interview (and it could be May 27, 1970) doesn't detract from the excellence of the interview.

Have you ever submitted multiple future termination dates for the same member on separate Wage and Contribution files? Did you know that the most recent termination date submitted is the one used in ERM?
For example:
On May 1, you submit a Last Day in Pay and Last Check Date of May 15 for a member on a Wage and Contribution file upload.
On May 2, you submit a Last Day in Pay and Last Check Date of May 30 for the same member on a Wage and Contribution file upload.
The Last Day in Pay and Last Check Date submitted on May 2 will be the termination information used in ERM.
For example:
If a member's retirement date is May 1, you need to submit the member's last day in pay as April 30 if that is truly the last day he or she earned wages.
As defined in INPRS' ERM Manuals, the last day in pay is the last day an employee accrued or earned a wage (i.e., termination date) as a covered or non-covered employee. This date should be reported no later than when an employee has completely separated from employment. A retirement cannot be processed until the employee has completely separated from employment and a last day in pay has been reported.

Looks like his business is picking up steam, as the wait times are out to almost 12 weeks, good for him, :hand10:
Also Tim was very nice in returning me a 10% Firefighter discount, even I told him no need to til my next order, I had just seen the deal on his site.
Nice folks over there, and anxious to get my goodies! That is all, and like to see some TTGunleather porn in this thread.

From Wikipedia:
Let $X$ be a random variable with a probability density function $f$ whose support is a set $\mathbb{X}$. The differential entropy $h(f)$ is defined as $$ h(f) = -\int_\mathbb{X} f(x)\log f(x)\,dx \quad \text{i.e.} \quad \mathrm{E}_f(-\log f(X)). $$
The discrete entropy of a discrete probability measure is also defined as $\mathrm{E}_p (-\log p(X))$, where $p$ is the mass probability function, which can be viewed as the density function with respect to the counting measure on the discrete sample space.
Am I right that the concept of entropy depends on the underlying measure of the sample space, since the integrand is the density function wrt some underlying measure?
If yes, what is the underlying measure on the sample space for differential entropy that Wiki refers to in the above quote?
What is the/some general structure(s) defined on the sample space for it to be meaningful to discuss entropy, more than $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Lebesgue measure being the underlying measure?
Thanks and regards!

Claire Phillips is a Cyborg (Maybe)
Claire Phillips and I sip our morning cappuccinos at the ever-busy, ever-trendy Intelligentsia Café. I squint swollen-eyed over cappuccino steam and tell Claire how early 11 am feels to me. She laughs with the confidence of a woman who's been wide-awake for hours. Her red lipstick is perfectly placed and her sleek, waved black hair does not frizz beneath the light February breeze. I suspect that she is the type who can stay up late, wake up early, and still look lively; possibly she is not human. Maybe she is a cyborg.
I've wanted to interview Claire since I first took her Science Fiction writing class at CalArts. Her syllabus offered a wide array of sci-fi names I'd seen, as well as many names I hadn't. Claire opened the door to galaxies of fantastic worlds that any budding fantastical writer should have the opportunity to experience.
Now that I've sampled her brilliant reading list, I have the mastermind here in my presence, flocked by glancing hipsters who vacantly browse the web on their laptops. I wonder if they feel the telepathic vibrations of a genius among their ranks.
BLACK CLOCK: Are there any projects you're currently working on? Are they science fiction related?
CLAIRE PHILLIPS: I'm finishing a novel called The Story of Dora that will appear in conjunction with the photographs of the Dutch artist Monica Nouwens. I'd call it a satire with science fiction tinges. I don't think of myself as a straight science fiction writer because it's not a mainstream work. It's about a cyborg who predicts the stock market with her orgasms, and I based this on [international investment firm] D. E. Shaw's stock market prediction machine from the '90's.
I wrote the text on my own and Nouwens' photographs interact with the text. It's very much an artists' book. We decided to collaborate because both my writing and her photography centered on Los Angeles. The Netherlands Architecture Institute picked it up and [the] publishing grants are still in the works.
Are you working on any science fiction related shorts?
I'm working on a couple of short pieces. I became very interested in some of the themes from the course I'm teaching at CalArts. One piece I'm writing is vampire-themed, another is sci-fi based, an homage to and mad rendering of James Tiptree*, you could say.
*James Tiptree, Jr. being one of the pseudonyms employed by author Alice Bradley Sheldon, who published speculative fiction via this male persona for nearly two decades. (eds.)
What initially sparked your interest in works of science fiction and "slipstream" fiction? Who inspires you?
My dad is a scientist, so I would read everything he had in his closet, namely Vonnegut and Asimov, all books he collected at airports in the '70's. At age 16 I was sucked up into this sort of technocratic hysteria, the belief that you could predict the future with psychohistory and then save mankind, sort of messianic and elitist. I was really interested in Isaac Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy. Maybe that's something I needed to do, save the world, learn everything there was to know. Later on I became much more cynical, of course.
The Foundation Trilogy is actually related to The Story of Dora. Lots of physicists have entered Wall Street; they took their science and put it into predicting the market. If one scientist can own that, what does it mean for everyone else? Who would you want to give that power of prediction to, if it were possible? In the interview I read with one of the computer scientist's working on the stock market black box, I sensed he knew it wasn't morally right, but rationalized it, using Asimov's "psychohistory", which I found interesting and disturbing. It took me ten years to find my way into that story. Dora the cyborg is born of an interest in what is happening for physicists today, and my concern and interest is in how capitalist markets are run, and of course, the female orgasm. That dovetailed into teaching science fiction and slipstream.
On that note, how do you define "slipstream" fiction?
Well it's not technically a sub-genre. Bruce Sterling coined the phrase to define what was happening in 1989 within the science fiction genre. Sci-fi is now moving into the mainstream, so in magazines there is still hard sci-fi, but the fantasy elements are taking center stage. I don't know if that term will be very dated two years from now. People are trying to sell their anthologies and books, which I understand, it's hard to sell books, but I think that students are interested in the tropes of the horror genre, fantasy.
I think everyone likes to write science fiction now. There is no such thing as sci-fi. We are no longer Future Shocked like in the '70's when there was surprise over how quickly things were changing. Now people anticipate fast, technological change. If we start terraforming, then there will be nothing we haven't done. Maybe we'll get back to [Russell Hoban's] Riddley Walker eventually, back to where it's post-apocalyptic, to the Stone Age and nature and reinventing the wheel. I think sci-fi is an important vehicle for our study in history in America of genius inventors, rags-to-riches tales, part of the American fabric that will always be interesting to study. I think that we've moved out of seeing scientists in the same god-fearing way, and they are not the giants in charge of the culture's focus or progress. It's more diluted than that and I'm still trying to figure out why. Maybe technology has been more democratized.
Your novella Black Market Babies is a staggering piece of work. It tweaks the reader's sense of reality in sly, artful ways, so that when one finishes the novella, she realizes she's been on a tumultuous journey. Who is your ideal reader?
That book was written at a very different time for me and I no longer have the same goals as a writer. An improvisational work. I began as a poet. That is more a part of that work than what I write now. What I write now is more dialogue- and plot-driven. I would never put the reader through such hair-raising turns ever again. I don't think I could do it, so, Black Market Babies would have a very different reader than I want, maybe. My ideal reader would be all readers. If it's a good book, it has that potential to be read by everyone. Not my father, though [laughs].
Tell me more about your publisher for Black Market Babies, 11th Hour Press. Do they have a history of publishing works that dance around the science fiction genre?
They're really a group of people who decided they would support me. Artist and illustrator Jonathon Rosen designed the book and did the cover illustration. I was living in the Bay Area at that time, which is a great area for small presses. Small Press Traffic helped. Ron Turner, who runs Last Gasp [Books], he discovered R. Crumb. Ron Turner publishes transgressive stuff, cartoons, low-brow art. I called him up and said, "I have this book and I really wanted to be included on the table at Virgin Books". He said, why don't you come with me to the Chicago Book Expo and I'll give you a badge, so I went to the big book expo and we did business there. By the end of that weekend he bought 250 of my books off the bat, which was exciting, because most distributors don't pay upfront. I got a lot of distributors and then it went from there. He was really instrumental.
Which literary journals, in your opinion, are most receptive to works of fantastical fiction?
I don't write short fiction very much, and it's all so experimental, so I don't usually submit to these magazines. But I'd say Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, McSweeney's, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Strange Horizons.
Do you like cats?
As much as Cordwainer Smith, maybe more.
Claire Phillips teaches writing and science fiction at the Southern California Institute for Architecture (SCI-Arc) and CalArts. She is a recipient of the American Academy of Poets Award. A podcast of her recent fiction can be found on the Writer's Block at KQED.org.

Things to see and do - Jabugo
Leaving for Spain
Iberian ham
Iberian ham
Emmanuel Tresmontant - 2009-12-15
Over the past few years, European epicureans have developed a veritable passion for the ham made from the meat of Iberian black-trotter hogs (pata negra) fed with acorns (bellota). Nearly all cured meat aficionados are of the same opinion: the world's finest hams are produced in Jabugo (Andalusia), Extremadure and Guijuelo (in the Salamanca province)…
Perfect when sliced paper-thin and served with aperitifs, they are a well-rounded delicacy, combining a melt-in-your-mouth texture, a hint of fat and fragrances of hazelnut, wild plants, forests and mushrooms.
The Spanish enjoy this deluxe delicatessen meat (not to be confused with Serrano ham, also excellent but far more ordinary) with a very dry wine with iodine tones, such as a Manzanilla, which provides a marked counterpoint to the fatty ham.
For Christmas, however, I would recommend uncorking a bottle of pink Champagne instead; Selosse, Larmendier-Bernier, Drappier and Billecart Salmon are all good choices.
Bellota (ham from acorn-fed hogs) may also be served on slices of toast rubbed with tomato, olive oil and fresh garlic: terrific! Since this is very expensive meat (around € 266 or £ 246 per kilo), avoid buying counterfeit ham by looking for the 'real iberico' label at reliable establishments or ordering it on-line.
In Spain, you can purchase extraordinary 100% Iberian 'unico' ham from Pedro Hernàndez Martin in Barcelona. In Jabugo, in the Sierra de Huelva, 100 km from Seville, the Osborne family's Sanchez Romero ham is considered a national treasure.

The water bill…the electric bill…the gas bill…it's all come in the mail, and they are all high. You hardly had enough money for rent or your mortgage, and now you have all the utilities to pay.
All you can think about is how your water, electric and gas might be shut off soon because you can't pay them – all you want to do is run into a hole and hide.
Wait, don't run off just yet. You have hope! You can get help in paying for your utility bills.
Yes, there are utility assistance programs specially designed for people just like you struggling to pay for their utilities. They come to the rescue when you have nowhere to turn to pay for the items you need the most to keep your home running safely and efficiently.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
This program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families provides funding in the form of a Block Grant, Leveraging Incentive Program, Residential Energy Assistance Challenge Program (REACH), and Contingency Funds.
To be eligible for energy assistance, a household's income cannot be greater than 150 percent of the poverty level or 60 percent of the State's median income. Priority is given to homes with the highest energy costs.
An application can be found on the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program website at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/.
Contact the Water, Electric, or Gas Company
Many water and energy companies have programs for low-income families. For example, the Southern California Gas Company has a California Alternate Rates for Energy Program (CARE), which qualifies some people to receive a 20 percent rate discount. They also have a gas assistance fund, which provides up to $100 towards bills during the winter months.
To find out what you may be eligible for, you must call them to find out since these programs are sometimes not widely advertised.
You may also be able to budget your bill. This means you can ask them to bill you the same amount every month; instead, of paying what you owe each month.
That way, you know exactly how much you need to pay each month and avoid the shocking bills that come in the mail during the middle of the winter and summer.
Program Information from Social Services
Contact your local social services office, as they have information about energy assistance programs before most other places do. This includes assistance from area and national organizations as well as churches looking to donate assistance to needy families.
What to Know When Applying for Energy Assistance
It's important to know that when you apply for energy assistance, you must provide information about your income and energy bills. While this may feel like an invasion of privacy, it's necessary because they need to ensure their funding goes to people who truly need it.
The more information you can provide assistance programs, the more they can help you meet your energy needs in the quickest and easiest way possible.

The City of Columbus has outfitted each of its police patrol cars with external defibrillators as part of the City's larger effort under Mayor Kristen Brown's administration to ensure optimal victim survivability in any life-threatening situation. The medical devices also will be placed at City facilities, including City Hall, in case of emergencies.
External defibrillators are medical devices that diagnose life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms, or cardiac arrhythmia, and deliver electrical energy to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. They are used in emergency situations on patients who have collapsed due to sudden cardiac arrest. When used in the first few minutes following collapse, these devices often save lives.
The City has purchased 67 external defibrillators, 55 of which will be placed in Columbus Police Department patrol cars. Other units will be placed at city facilities and in Columbus Fire Department administrative vehicles. The fire department's emergency vehicles are already equipped with the devices.
The defibrillators are an important piece in ensuring victim survivability. Under Mayor Brown's direction, the City has set a goal of having Columbus Fire Department EMTs and paramedics to any emergency medical scene within 4 minutes more than 90 percent of the time, with a Columbus Regional Hospital transport ambulance arriving on scene in less than 9 minutes more than 90 percent of the time.
Police officers are often the first to arrive at any emergency scene. By equipping patrol officers with external defibrillators, they can immediately begin life-saving procedures until emergency medical personnel arrive.
Columbus Police Chief Jason Maddix hopes to have all patrol cars equipped with the devices and officers trained by the end of February. The external defibrillators were purchased from Northern Kentucky EMS for $73,700, which was paid for from the City's general fund capital improvement money.

After a tough day of qualifying at Michigan International Speedway on Friday, Joe Gibbs Racing didn't fare much better on Sunday afternoon, as Matt Kenseth led the three-car team with a 14th-place finish in the Quicken Loans 400. His JGR teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch finished 29th and 41st, respectively.
Kenseth, who started 21st in the No. 20 Dollar General Toyota Camry on Sunday, had a relatively uneventful day, as his climb and fall through the field was the result of pit strategies and inopportune caution flags. He ran in the top 15 for much of the afternoon, and led briefly during late-race pit stops.
Hamlin, in the No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota, started 29th and battled handling issues through the race, only to end up where he started in 29th. Contact with Aric Almirola on Lap 123 brought Hamlin's car to the attention of his crew, who got him back on track for the end of the race.
Busch started the No. 18 M&Ms Toyota in 14th place and at the end reversed those numbers for a 41st-place finish. After running in the top 10 early on, Busch radioed in to his crew with a possible tire issue on Lap 72; a caution one lap later brought Busch into the pits for new rubber. Busch restarted fifth, but immediately called the crew again, as the issue had not solved itself with new tires. He went to the garage and the team discovered an issue with the left rear wheel hub; after repairs, Busch returned to the track 26 laps down.
Jimmie Johnson went to victory lane at Michigan, followed by Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Paul Menard, and Kasey Kahne.
The Sprint Cup Series heads west to Sonoma Raceway in California for the Toyota/SaveMart 350 on Sunday, June 22nd. Keep up with the action at joegibbsracing.com.

I bought this dress at a small boutique in downtown Toronto. The dress is an Ivory English net strapless cross drape empire gown with cascading overskirt and Swarovski crystal hand beaded alencon lace neckline and hem. I got married in a park so it was a perfect bohemian-style dress that was both comfortable and classic. The empire waist made it very flattering for pear shapes or girls with smaller tops and wider hips.
- Alterations: The dress had a very sheer lining so I had it replaced with all new fabric that was more opaque and also left more room for my hips. The front of the dress was raised slightly so that it had more of a rise and fall hem with a sweep train (which has a one-point over bustle) My measurements: Bust: 31.5" Waist: 25" Hips: 39.5" Height: 5'6"
- Preservation Method: Dress has been professionally cleaned and stored in a garment bag. More images are available upon request

Francis Scott Key may have been tone death according to author, Marc Leepson
FREDERICK, Md. – Most critics agree that The Star-Spangled-Banner is difficult to sing.
Francis Scott Key, who wrote the lyrics after watching the Sept. 13-14, 1814 bombardment of Fort McHenry, located in the harbor of Baltimore, Md. In his biography "What So Proudly We Hailed: Francis Scott Key, A Life " Marc Leepson said Key may have been tone deaf.
"Up until relatively recently, historians believed Key was writing a poem that night because he was an amateur poet," Leepson said, in a Tuesday interview. "He was not musical and he had never written a song in his life and he may have been tone deaf. Now opinion has changed. Back in that time period it was common for people to take lyrics and put them to a well-known tune. This tune was very well known."
Originally entitled The Defence of Fort McHenry, the tune was wedded to a popular British melody, The Anacreon in Heaven. Key wrote the lyrics on the morning of Sept. 14, 1814, while on an American truce ship anchored in the Patapsco River, Leepson said. At the time, there were many patriotic songs used by the military.
The Star-Spangled-Banner was first recognized for official use by the U.S. Navy in 1889, Leepson said. It became the national anthem as a result of the adoption of a congressional resolution on Marc 3, 1931, and was signed into law by President Herbert Hoover.
Leepson's new biography is the first one written about Key in more than 75 years. Other little-known facts examined in the book about Key, a Washington, DC, attorney who witnessed the 1814 bombardment of Fort McHenry, included his involvement as an advocate of shipping free African Americans back to Africa.
Leepson said Key was a member of The Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color of America, ACS, which promoted the idea of returning and transplanting African Americans as citizens of the colony of Liberia, which the organization helped found. In the book, Leepson details the activities of Key, along with other ACS members, which included John Randolph, Charles Fenton Mercer, Henry Clay and Richard Bland Lee, who argued that Liberia would provide greater freedom for African Americans, than they had in the U.S.
Leepson said that Key and other members of the organization believed that returning African Americans to Africa would also help end slave trafficking—but, it didn't.. Slavery would continue to be an issue in American politics, until President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.
Key's legal career included arguing more than 100 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, Leepson said. In some cases, Key represented the legal rights of freed African Americans, but in other cases, the Maryland-born attorney, represented the rights of owners of runaway slaves.
"Up until relatively recently, historians believed Key was writing a poem that night because he was an amateur poet," Leepson said. "He was not musical and he had never written a song in his life and he may have been tone deaf. Now opinion has changed. Back in that time period it was common for people to take lyrics and put them to a well-known tune. This tune was very well known."
Key spoke about writing The Star-Spangled-Banner, in public, only once, 20 years later, Leepson said. At the time, the song was one of many patriotic tunes.
Leepson said Key wrote poems for family and friends, but he never wanted his work to be published. In the 1850s, after his death, a book of his poems was published, but "they were not very good," Leepson said.
Key became an overnight success, and will forever be enshrined in the pantheon of famous American patriots. Of all of Key's descendants, only one would reach prominence for his written works, Leepson said. That individual, also born in Maryland, was novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Leepson's other works include "Desperate Engagement," which details the Battle of the Monocacy;" "Lafayette: Lessons in Leadership from the Idealist General;" "Flag: An American Biography;" and "Saving Monticello: The Levy Family's Epic Quest to Rescue the House that Jefferson Built."

The University of California requires all students to have major medical health insurance as a non-academic condition of enrollment. All full and part-time undergraduate and graduate students with a USHIP/GSHIP fee assessed are automatically enrolled in, and charged for, the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). Students who demonstrate comparable health insurance coverage may submit an online request to waive out of SHIP.
- UC SHIP & Healthcare Reform
For Graduates
- Filing Fee
Waiving SHIP
Unless it is for a Medical Emergency Care, you always need to obtain a referral issued by a Student Health Center Provider prior to seeking outside services or your claim will be denied.
Student Health Insurance Office Contact Information:
Fall Quarter 2016 SHIP Waiver Period opens on June 20, 2016. The last day to waive out of SHIP for Fall Quarter 2016 is September 9, 2016.
Check-Out/Cashiering Procedure Has Changed!
Insurance Plan
Undergraduate Student Health Insurance Plan (USHIP)
Effective fall quarter 2001 the Regents of the University of California instituted health insurance coverage as a condition of enrollment for all undergraduate students (more info about their decision). This insurance is included in your student fees and enrollment in the plan is automatic when you pay your fees. You may waive out of this plan if you can demonstrate comparable and verifiable health coverage that meets the campus' minimum standards for insurance.
For the upcoming 2015-2016 academic year, Nationwide will continue to be the underwriter for UC Irvine's Undergraduate Student Health Insurance Plan (USHIP). Personal Insurance Administrators, Inc. (PIA) is the benefit plan administrator of USHIP and First Health is the preferred provider organization network (PPO). Please note that students must first obtain a referral authorization from a Student Health Center primary care provider BEFORE seeking treatment from a non-SHC specialist. If a referral authorization is not obtained in advance, the claim(s) will be paid at a reduced level of benefits and the student will incur greater out-of-pocket expenses. Exceptions to the referral requirement can be found in the "How to use SHIP" section below and on page 13 of the Plan Brochure.
"Transition of Care" ("TOC") Approval Guidelines, FAQ's and Request Form
The USHIP plan is changing its PPO network from CIGNA to First Health Network for the 2015-16 plan year that becomes effective on 9-21-2015. Students who are currently undergoing treatment may be affected by the plan's transition to a new network. If the student is receiving medical care or treatment from a provider who is considered "in‐network" under the CIGNA PPO, then the student may find that their provider is no longer considered "in‐network" under the new First Health Network PPO. The services rendered by an out-of-network provider are subject to benefits payable at the "non‐network" level resulting in higher out-of-pocket expenses for the student. If the treatment is ongoing, then it may not be within the control of the student to change providers during this transition. Personal Insurance Administrators (PIA), the plan administrator, follows internal guidelines granting the student authorization to continue the course of treatment with the same provider thereby allowing services to be paid at the "in‐network" coinsurance level, subject to reasonable and customary limits (if applicable), for a duration specified by PIA. For PIA to approve continuing care payable at the in‐network level, the student must request approval in writing using the Transition of Care Request form.

Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP)
UC SHIP Granted MEC Certification
Student Health Mobile App Now Available for Grad Students Enrolled in GSHIP
University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP) is the University sponsored health insurance program for graduate students. Eligible students are automatically enrolled in UC SHIP, and the premium for this insurance is assessed each term on the graduate student's registration fee statement. You may request to waive out of this plan if you can demonstrate comparable and verifiable health coverage that meets the campus' minimum standards for insurance.
UC SHIP is a comprehensive health plan that provides medical, mental health care, pharmacy, vision and dental coverage. It features year-round, world-wide coverage using the Anthem Blue Cross PPO network. UC SHIP provides optimal coverage for services on campus and in the UC Irvine community and peace of mind for both parents and students.
UC SHIP members receive their primary care at the Student Health Center, where treatment will be administered or, if necessary, a referral issued. Please note that, although the UC SHIP plan is technically a PPO-type plan, students must first obtain a referral authorization from a Student Health Center primary care provider BEFORE seeking treatment from a non-SHC provider. If a referral authorization is not obtained in advance for any outside services other than emergency care or mental health care, then the claim will be denied.
Important Notice: The Graduate SHIP medical plan for 2016-2017 will remain with the UC Regents' self-funded plan and will be effective 9-19-2016. Anthem will remain as the medical/behavioral health plan carrier and network. The dental plan carrier/network (Delta Dental) and the vision plan carrier/network (Anthem Blue View Vision) will remain the same. The website will be updated with 2016-17 GSHIP plan materials as soon as they are finalized.

SHIP Coverage Periods for Academic Years 2015-2016 through 2018-2019
Here are the basics to get you started:
|When you need health care:
With SHIP, all care must begin at Student Health Center (SHC). When you need medical care, there are three ways to make an appointment:
There are no claims to file for SHC visits.
|Referrals from SHC clinicians
If necessary, the SHC physician will provide you with a referral for specialty care treatment that is not offered at the SHC. You must have outside appointments pre-authorized by the Insurance Office. Off-campus care (care outside of UCI SHC) is coordinated by SHC clinicians, and the Insurance Office staff will provide referral authorizations for covered services to ensure that your claims are handled accurately.
For off-campus care, UC SHIP contracts with Anthem Blue Cross (Graduate students) and First Health (undergraduate students) to provide medical and mental health services through their extensive network of hospitals and providers. If providers or facilities are used that are not part of the Anthem Blue Cross Prudent Buyer Provider Network (Graduate students) or First Health Network (Undergraduate students), then your claims will be paid at a percentage of the "limited fee schedule". These rates are often significantly lower than the network rate and could result in a higher out-of-pocket cost to you. To find an Anthem Blue Cross Prudent Buyer or First Health preferred provider, you can call the customer service number on the back of your health insurance card.
|Emergency care
No referral/authorization from the Student Health Insurance Office is required for visits to an emergency room or urgent care center. Please provide the facility with your insurance card. Students must return to the SHC for all follow-up treatment.
|Pre-existing conditions
SHIP does not exclude pre-existing conditions. There is no waiting period for coverage for pre-existing conditions.
|Authorization for Services
All non-emergency services provided outside of SHC must receive prior authorization from SHC or your claim will be either be denied or paid at a significantly reduced benefit level resulting in greater out-of-pocket costs for you.
GSHIP (Graduate Student Plan):
USHIP (Undergraduate Student Plan):
|Billing for services at SHC
At the time of service, patients will pay only the fees for which they are responsible (e.g., co-pay for office visit and pharmacy; coinsurance for lab tests and x-rays). SHC will then file a claim with Anthem Blue Cross (graduate) and PIA (undergraduate) for payment of the remainder of the covered charges.
|Billing for services outside SHC
When students receive care outside of Student Health Center, the health care provider may require the co-payment and/or coinsurance at the time of service, or they may send a bill after the insurance company has paid the covered amount. Most providers will submit bills directly to the insurance company. If a student receives a bill for the full cost of services, the student should contact Anthem Blue Cross (graduate) or PIA (undergraduate) for assistance. For questions about claims or the Explanation of Benefits, graduate students may call Anthem Blue Cross at 866-940-8306. Undergraduate students may call PIA at 855-515-2423.
For out of state claims for graduate students: When you are outside of California and receive health care services, you should request that your provider bill the local Blue Cross - Blue Shield company in that state to ensure that your services are covered according to your UC SHIP benefits.
For out of country claims: Be sure to obtain a bill that contains all of the information listed below. For graduate students, you can print and use an "international claim form" from the BlueCard® Worldwide website. For undergraduate students, call United Healthcare GlobalAccess Service Center collect at 410-453-6330 24/7 for more information.
To ensure proper payment or reimbursement of your claim, make sure that you receive an itemized bill from the provider. An itemized bill includes:
If any of this information is not included on a claim, the insurance payment may be delayed or denied. Most providers are aware of what is required for processing an insurance claim and will be happy to exchange an incomplete bill with one containing all of the required information.
Undergraduate Students:
Graduate Students:
|Dual coverage
Services provided at SHC will be billed exclusively to Anthem Blue Cross (graduate) and PIA (undergraduate) regardless of whether you have dual coverage through another plan in addition to SHIP. For services provided outside of SHC, SHIP is secondary to all other insurance plans, (except Medi-Cal, TriCare, and MRMIP) meaning the other plan must pay for services first. In this case, SHIP will cover any charges, within the plan's benefit limits, not covered by your other plan. In order to coordinate coverage and payment, Anthem Blue Cross or PIA may ask you for information about your other plan.
|Annual out-of-pocket maximum
Undergraduate Students:
Graduate Students:
|Lifetime maximum
UC SHIP plans (both GSHIP and USHIP) have no lifetime maximum.
|Managing your plan
Updated address: It is very important that you keep your address updated with the Office of the Registrar as this is the same address that SHIP utilizes. When you move or go away for the summer, please remember to update your address with the Office of the Registrar at http://www.reg.uci.edu/request/changeaddress.html.

Waiving Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)
All eligible graduate and undergraduate students at UC Irvine are automatically enrolled in SHIP and charged a health insurance fee as part of registration at UC Irvine. If you are currently covered by major medical health insurance that is comparable to SHIP, you may request to waive out of the plan.
To waive out of the UC Irvine sponsored health insurance plan for 2016-2017, you must submit a request on-line during the open waiver period as shown in the pdf document below entitled "SHIP Waiver Schedules". If approved, the waiver is in effect for the current term and the remainder of the academic year. A new waiver request must be submitted at the beginning of each academic year.
The waiver process is managed by Wells Fargo Insurance Services on behalf of UCI. There are four separate online waiver websites depending upon the group to which you belong as noted below:
Wells Fargo Online Waiver (for 1st year, transfer and continuing students)
Wells Fargo Online Waiver (for Returning Summer Medical Students and Summer Prime-LC Medical Students)
Wells Fargo Online Waiver (for 1st year "early start" medical students - August start date) - Coming Soon
Wells Fargo Online Waiver (for 1st year "early start" law students - August start date) - Coming Soon
Important Notice to UC Irvine undergraduate students studying abroad through the Education Abroad Program (EAP):
Effective with the 2015-2016 academic year, EAP students must maintain their domestic health insurance coverage in order to be compliant with the Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) requirements mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The travel insurance policy administered through EAP does not qualify as an MEC-compliant plan. Therefore, EAP students, as with all registered students, will be automatically enrolled in SHIP and are responsible for paying the SHIP insurance premium to UCI by the UCI Fee Payment Deadline for each quarter unless they waive out of SHIP successfully by the waiver application deadline. EAP students, as with all registered students, will not be able to waive out of SHIP successfully unless they are covered under another domestic MEC-compliant health insurance plan that also meets the SHIP waiver criteria. Students should contact their EAP Advisor at 949-824-6343 for questions specific to EAP or SHC's Insurance Services Department at 949-824-2388 for questions pertaining to SHIP coverage, benefits and/or the waiver application process.
SHIP Waiver Schedules for Academic Years 2015-2016 through 2018-2019
Please follow the link below to view the 2016-2017 SHIP waiver criteria. To satisfy UC's health insurance requirement for enrolled students, the plan under which the student is covered must meet all of these criteria.
SHIP Waiver Criteria for 2016-2017
1.) For all students, all plans must provide unrestricted access to an in-network hospital or doctor providing full, non-emergency medical and behavioral health care within 50 miles of the UC Irvine campus or the student's place of residence while attending school. NOTE: this criterion applies to all plan types, including Covered California plans.
2.) Travel plans are not allowed to be used to waive participation in SHIP.
If you have any questions regarding the SHIP Waiver criteria, please call or email the SHC Insurance Office at 949-824-2388; email@example.com; or stop by the Insurance Office at the Student Health Center between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
IMPORTANT! You can submit the waiver request ONE TIME ONLY. Once the waiver has been submitted you will receive a "Waiver Accepted" or "Waiver Denied" response based on the answers provided on the waiver form. You will NOT be able to access the waiver system again to make any corrections, so it is important that you have all of the correct information in advance of submitting the waiver.
Please use the waiver worksheet to help gather your plan information and other requested information BEFORE you begin your online waiver application to complete all the questions quickly and accurately.
If you don't know the answers to the questions, please call the Member or Customer Service number on your insurance card for assistance. Most plan information can be found in your plan benefit booklet, benefits summary, contract, or policy, or check the carrier's website the health information to find the details of your plan. Incorrect answers could result in delay or denial of your waiver application. When you are ready to go on-line to waive, please remember to print a page of the waiver acceptance/denial page. The Insurance Office will not accept waiver requests past the posted deadlines and does not accept waiver requests in paper format.
Please submit your waiver application as soon as possible. If you wait until the last minute, you risk running into an overloaded computer system.
Your insurance coverage will be compared to SHIP guidelines and a waiver will be granted or denied based upon the comparison.
If you submit a waiver request online, you will receive an instantaneous response. The last screen of the on-line waiver application process will provide you with approval or denial information. You should print this screen for your records. If your waiver has been approved, fees will be reversed and reflected on the student's account within ten (10) business days.
You may also check your SHIP waiver status on Zot Account Online. (If you pay your fees before you have been notified that you have been granted a waiver, be sure you pay the entire fee amount. If you deduct the health insurance amount from the amount of fees you pay and your waiver request is denied, you risk having your classes dropped unless you pay the remainder of the fee before the registration fee deadline.)
SHIP Appeal of Waiver Denial Form
If your waiver application has been denied due to inaccurate or incomplete information or because your existing health insurance does not meet all of the waiver criteria, you may complete and submit the Waiver Appeal Form, including supporting documents, to the SHC Insurance Office. The "Appeal of Waiver Denial" must be received within 10 business days of your waiver denial. AS SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION, DO NOT SEND YOUR ENTIRE PLAN BOOKLET! PLEASE SEND A SUMMARY OF BENEFITS ONLY AND A COPY OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE ID CARD.
SHIP Waiver Reversal Form
If you have waived SHIP enrollment and wish to reverse your waiver, you can fill out a Waiver Reversal Form and submit the completed form to SHC Insurance Office during the enrollment period.
Also, if you lose your private insurance between terms, you can purchase SHIP at the full cost of the term. An official Letter of Termination/Loss of Coverage from your previous health insurance carrier must be submitted to the SHC Insurance Office to initiate the enrollment process. Your effective date of coverage will be the day following completion of the waiver reversal form and documentation of your loss of coverage. Please note: UC SHIP policy states that students who waive UC SHIP must notify the Student Health Center no later than 30 days following the date that the student lost the coverage that they used to waive out of UC SHIP. If the student has no other coverage, then they will be enrolled in UC SHIP at that time and pay the premium for the entire term. Maintaining health care insurance at all times that meets UC's minimum requirements is a condition of enrollment at UC.

If you submitted a waiver application online, then you will receive an instantaneous response. The last screen of the online waiver application process will provide you with approval or denial information. You should print this screen for your records.

Payroll employment declines in June 2010
July 06, 2010
Total nonfarm payroll employment declined by 125,000 in June, reflecting the departure of 225,000 temporary Census 2010 workers from Federal government payrolls.
Total private employment edged up over the month (+83,000) due to modest increases in several industries. So far this year, private-sector employment has increased by 593,000 but in June was 7.9 million below its December 2007 level.
In June, within professional and business services, employment continued to increase in temporary help services (+21,000). Employment in temporary help has risen by 379,000 since a recent low in September 2009. Elsewhere in professional and business services, management and technical consulting (+11,000) and business support services (+7,000) also added jobs over the month.
From May to June, within leisure and hospitality, employment in amusements, gambling, and recreation rose by 28,000.
Construction employment decreased by 22,000 in June, with the largest decline occurring in nonresidential specialty trade contracting. On net, construction employment has shown little change over the last 4 months.
These data are from the Current Employment Statistics program. These data are seasonally adjusted, and data for the most recent two months are preliminary. To learn more, see "The Employment Situation – June 2010," (HTML) (PDF) news release USDL-10-0886.

One Tipp City non-profit organization has taken the responsibility to ensure that one local food bank has fresh, nutritious and locally grown produce available on a weekly basis. HarvestShare at the Food from the Earth divides shares of land with people around the community who will grow and produce fresh vegetables for the community. A portion of their crop is donated to The New Path food bank.
"Having fresh produce at the food pantry gives our families fresh healthy food options, instead of processed foods high in sodium and fat. Food from the Earth has been a real blessing and has really opened our eyes about the quality of the food we offer. We want to help those in need, but giving them foods that are bad for their health is hardly helping anyone," The New Path Program Coordinator, Sherry Loschi said. "So often, food pantries are filled with food other people didn't want or the least expensive foods a donor can find. Rarely do we receive donations of healthy foods that will be a help to one's body. Most health problems stem from a poor diet and if people don't have access to healthy foods they cannot choose to eat healthy. Obesity, adult onset diabetes and high cholesterol and even heart problems stem from a poor diet and lack of exercise. Poor diet has a huge impact on our health and no one is more challenged than those who are dependent on the kindness of others."
Food from the Earth Community Garden operates much like other community supported agriculture programs except they donate between 10-20% of their yield to The New Path food pantry each week. HarvestShare-Holders purchase shares of land at the beginning of the growing season and each week donate their percentage for the needy.
"This is a financially sustainable model that allows us to make donations of high-quality, naturally-grown, local produce to the food pantry throughout the summer," Food from the Earth garden coordinator and ministry leader, Erin McKenzie said. "Ginghamsburg Church had the land available and New Path food pantry was interested in a direct way to receive fresh produce, and it was an opportunity for other gardeners and myself to use our passion of gardening to help service the community."
Unlike a traditional "community garden," the Food from the Earth garden is not subdivided into plots for individuals, families or individual groups where they individually plan, maintain, and harvest their own produce. Instead, McKenzie decides, based on input from shareholders and the food pantry clients, how much and what to grow in the entire garden. Then, shareholders and other Ginghamsburg Church and Tipp City community gardeners come alongside to help her complete the work. There are currently 25 gardeners that are currently involved in the shared garden. The shared garden still has 5 full or 10 half-shares available for interested gardeners.
"Local food production programs like ours provide direct access to naturally-grown, local produce to food pantry clients, who more frequently must choose from canned and boxed goods, McKenzie continued. "The program reconnects people with the land and our agrarian past by bringing people out to the garden to work and harvest and strengthens community bonds through food, faith, and work."
The gardening season just begun and will continue throughout the season until mid-October.
For more information regarding the community garden, contact Erin McKenzie at (937) 668-1364 or visit their website at http://foodfromtheearth.wordpress.com or their Facebook page at https://wwwfacebook.com/FoodfromtheEarth.

Behold the Orange...Cauliflower
The gene enables the cauliflower to build up higher stores of beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A that gives carrots their distinctive hue. (Scientists have already figured out a way to engineer rice to be rich in beta-carotene, but that method's more cumbersome, involving several genes, and doesn't work in a lot of plants.) The original mutant orange cauliflower was discovered three decades ago in a farmer's field, according to a news release describing the finding, which was reported in the journal Plant Cell (which won't let you read all about it unless you pay, bah, humbug).Okay, I've heard of purple cauliflower, but never orange. Here's what one looks like:

Link: Mission in Space: The Lost Colony
Developer: StormAlligator
Genre: Strategy
FlashMush Rating: 8.5/10
Haven't played a good turn based strategy game in a while so I'm quite glad I found Mission in Space: The Lost Colony as it's given me a great game to get back into the strategy genre with.
You can tell Mission in Space did it's homework. It has all the right turn based strategy game staples and executes them quite flawlessly. In fact, Mission in Space puts a lot of emphasis on a cinematic style. While a lot of strategy games have overall story lines, I feel Mission in Space puts the emphasis on theirs first and foremost. Each level is focusing heavily on the overall storyline theme and require movie like aspects at times. This gives the game a more dramatic feel and really invests you into the characters and gameplay.
In terms of actual gameplay, Mission in Space does a great job. The movement system is perfect and they added nice features like having to reload, auto pilot for other characters and other environmental interaction abilities. There is also a skill tree for each of your soldiers of completely unique skill sets. Overall, Mission in Space: The Lost Colony does a great job at bringing an intense feeling into flash games and everyone should try it out!

One of the best parts of being a part of the blogosphere is finding others who not only are similar to you but also inspire you on a daily basis. I have quite a few blogs that I follow regularly but only a few leave a lasting impression, like Stefanie Kuncman's blog, Steffy's Pros & Cons. She is a favorite of mine at the moment for always being positive with a quirky attitude and style. We've become friendly via twitter and leaving comments for each other on our latest posts. She was nice enough to agree to do an interview with me and her answers were just as amazing as her blog!
What made you decide to start your blog, Steffy's Pros & Cons?
I started my blog after I moved back from living in Nicaragua with matt for 7 months. I lived off of reading fashion blogs while I was there because I was fashion deprived, and it would make me feel inspired. When I came back I just couldn't NOT start a blog of my own, and so steffys pros and cons was born!
You also have a very sweet vintage shop, Tea & Tulips! Did you start off with that or your blog?
I started off with the blog and my best friend sara suggested the shop. I thought it was a good suggestion.
Do you work full time on your blog & shop or do you have another day job? Do you have a fashion and/or business academic background?
I work part time 2 days a week at a local boutique and I go to school full time for fashion merchandising. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism also that I completed in 2009, and after working in the industry for a year and a half I decided my passion lies with fashion, so I made the decision to go back to school for it.
Where are your favorite spots/ shops to buy at for your shop? What do you try and look for?
I have a few spots I go to in order to shop for the store, and I know by now when each one will have "what I am looking for." My favorite by far is "flamingo plaza" the best plaza ever here in Miami. Also, urban jungle in Brooklyn is amazing. I always try to look for whatever color I am in the mood for, great patterns like polka dots or bright florals, and of course cute collars! Just things that pop out to me!
It seems that vintage clothing shops are starting to become a movement, what do you think differentiates your store from all the others out there?
I think my shop is just 'me.' I think anyone who knows me can look into my shop and think that what I am selling makes sense. I think people who don't know me can get an idea of who I am from my shop. Everyone is different and unique, so I think my shop is different just because I am different and it is a direct representation of me.
Where do you hope you (and your blog/shop) will be in the next 5 years?
I don't hope too much or have too many expectations. I do it because I love to do it, and because I meet so many amazing people through it. I probably will never have the guts to rely on my store full-time, even if it blows up and begins doing amazing. I just like to have financial security, and you can never predict anything when it comes to income/sales.
What are some tips you can give for new bloggers and/or shop owners that are first starting out?
Hm, well I am kind of just starting out too so give me tips jk! I would say.. try to sell items that you don't think anyone can find anywhere else. That is my biggest tip. Sometimes I will see a shirt and fall in love with it, but when I really think about it I feel like someone can get it somewhere else. Customers are paying shipping so they really want to get their hands on something unique!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Suzibelle2 A table for many uses... I used this table as a bar. It is perfect. Easy to be inspired by the red color and the campaign table lines. What fun! August 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by bouchardmiller Beautiful finish Color is bright red and beautiful. Solid and perfect size. Fits into our theme and I love it. When on sale, a very good deal. August 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2ndOpinion Fantastic, beautiful desk! I picked up my desk on July 24, 2015 after waiting for it to be delivered to the store. At the time, the desk was available in three colors: black, white, and red. The black and white versions were priced at $149, while the red, for some reason, was only $99. If anything, it should have been the other way around because the red version is stunning. Even better, I was able to apply a 15% coupon! The desk is surprisingly heavy which makes it very stable. The weight is nothing that one person couldn't handle alone. Also, it could not be easier to put together. The two legs arrive assembled and the top is assembled also, with the drawer fully installed. All that's left to do is bolt the legs to the top, five bolts each. Presto! Brand new desk! The drawer operates smoothly and flawlessly. It is meant to hold a keyboard and, most likely, a mouse too. The front of the drawer folds down to provide access to the keyboard and places it at optimum height for typing. What's not to like? Finally, the packaging is robust with high density styrofoam all around. The result is that the desk arrives in perfect condition. Get yourself one, you won't regret it. Get a red one, you'll love it. July 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by marybea123 Versatile and quality desk Very Sturdy and heavy. Easy to assemble. Has a modern look. March 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BoiseD Great choice for my home office Beautiful red color, great quality, super easy to assemble (my eleven-year-old daughter tightened the screws). I was lucky to buy this during the 50% off sale, so I bought two and put them together as a big working table for the office. March 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by TamiB88 STUNNING DESK! Very very happy with this desk, I purchased the red one and it is absolutely beautiful. Was looking for a simple but elegant desk and red is my accent color in a gray room, this is just perfect. It is just how it looks in the picture! I have gotten many compliments on this piece. I believe its a great value and would recommend to anyone looking. October 30, 2014
