Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Records, Social Security Administration, Deputy Commissioner for Human Resources, Office of Personnel, Center for Employee Services
Effective Date: January 11, 2006
System name:
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Records, Social Security Administration, Deputy Commissioner for Human Resources, Office of Personnel, Center for Employee Services.
Security classification:
System Location:
Social Security Administration
Office of Human Resources
Office of Personnel
Center for Employee Services
Employee Assistance Program
Social Security Administration (SSA) Regional Offices, Human Resources Center (contact the system manager or access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_g.htm for address information).
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
This system covers SSA employees, employees of other organizations serviced by SSA Employee Assistant Program (EAP), or family members of any of these employees who have been counseled and/or referred for counseling for personal problems by the EAP.
Categories of Records in the system:
The system contains records of each employee and family member who has utilized the EAP for a personal problem. Examples of information that may be found in each record are employee or family member name, date of birth, grade, job title, home address, telephone numbers, and supervisor's name and telephone number. In addition to the demographic data, certain clinical information is normally maintained in each record including a psychosocial history, assessment of personal problems, information regarding referrals to treatment facilities in the community, and intervention outcomes. Also, information relating to finances that the employee voluntarily provides; disposition, including employees stated intentions; record of letters or tax forms sent as replies; letters from creditors or their representatives and copies of our replies and copies of tax levies against employees. Finally, if an employee is referred to the EAP by a supervisor, the record may contain information regarding the referral such as leave record, reasons for referral, and outcomes of supervisory interventions.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
5 U.S.C. 7361, 7362, 7901, and 7904.
These records are used to document the nature and extent of the employee's or family member's personal problem and the background information necessary for formulating an intervention plan in an effort to resolve the personal problem and return the employee to full productivity. The record is also used to document, when appropriate, where the employee or family member has been referred for treatment or rehabilitation and the progress in such treatment. Anonymous information from these records is also needed for the purpose of preparing statistical reports and analytical studies in support of the EAP's management.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosure may be made for routine uses as indicated below.
1. To contractors if the Social Security Administration contracts with private firms, individuals, or other groups such as a Federal Employee Assistance Program (EAP) consortium for the purpose of providing the EAP functions. The contractor shall be required to maintain Privacy Act safeguards with respect to such records. The contractors will surrender to the EAP all of these records as well as any new records at the time of contract termination.
2. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court or other tribunal, or another party before such tribunal, when:
(a) The Social Security Administration (SSA), or any component thereof; or
(b) Any SSA employee in his/her official capacity; or
(c) Any SSA employee in his/her individual capacity where DOJ (or SSA, where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) The United States or any agency thereof where SSA determines that the litigation is likely to affect SSA or any of its components, is a party to the litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and SSA determines that the use of such records by DOJ, a court or other
tribunal, or another party before such tribunal, is relevant and necessary to the litigation, provided, however, that in each case, SSA determines that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
3. To a congressional office in response to any inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of the record.
4. To a court or other tribunal, or a party before the same, where the records are covered by the Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records regulations (42 CFR part 2). Any disclosure of such patient records must be pursuant to a qualified service
organization agreement that meets the requirements of 42 CFR part 2 and must also comply with all other aspects of these regulations. The Employee Assistance Program Administrators in each program location must personally approve any disclosure made under this routine use based on his or her determination that it is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
5. To student volunteers, individuals working under a personal services contract, and other workers who technically do not have the status of Federal employees, when they are performing work for the Social Security Administration (SSA), as authorized by law, and they need access to personally identifiable information in SSA records in order to perform their assigned Agency functions.
6. To the General Services Administration and the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, as amended by the NARA Act of 1984, information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law for the use of those agencies in conducting records management studies.
7. We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of its records.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system:
Records are maintained in automated form (e.g., computer readable media, hard drives, floppy disks, and Compact Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM)) and in paper form (e.g., folders, index cards).
Records are retrieved by a case code number. These numbers are cross-indexed by name of employee or family member.
1. Authorized Users: Access to these records is limited to the EAP Administrators who work directly with employees and family members in each program location and their immediate staffs (including staff counselors, staff secretaries, contract or consortia counselors and secretaries). All EAP Administrators, whether or not they directly provide clinical services, may access the records for the purposes of program evaluation, destroying records at the end of their period of maintenance, and transferring records from one contractor to another.
2. Physical Safeguards: All records are stored in a metal filing cabinet equipped with at least a combination lock, and preferably a locking bar. This file cabinet is in a secured area, accessible only to the EAP staff, and is locked when not in use. Computer readable
information is maintained in discrete systems and/or is password protected. Computers are also stored in secured areas, accessible to only the EAP staff. These records are always maintained separate from any other system of records.
3. Procedural Safeguards: All persons having access to the records shall have previous training in the proper handling of records covered by the Privacy Act and 42 CFR part 2 (Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records). These restrict disclosures to unique situations, such as medical emergencies, except when the employee or family member has consented in writing. Furthermore, employees and family members who utilize the EAP will be informed in writing of the confidentiality provisions; and secondary disclosure of information is prohibited without employee consent.
Access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_g.htm for additional information relating to SSA data security measures.
Retention and disposal:
Records are retained until three years after the employee or family member has ceased contact with the EAP or until any litigation is resolved. However, if an employee has been terminated from SSA employment, records are retained for at least three years after the
official date of termination and until any litigation is resolved. Files are then destroyed.
System manager(s) and address(es):
Social Security Administration
Center for Employee Services
Office of Personnel
Office of Human Resources
Notification procedures:
Upon receiving a request, the EAP Administrator shall weigh the need for disclosure against the potential injury to the patient, to the physician-patient relationship, and to the treatment services. The EAP Administrator will then determine the extent to which any disclosure of all or any part of the record is necessary (42 CFR part 2 does not compel disclosure).
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels information in the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject
individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Also, requesters should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance
with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Information in this system of records is: (1) Supplied directly by the individual, or (2) supplied by a member of the employee's family, or (3) derived from information supplied by the individual, or (4) supplied by sources to whom the employee and/or family member has been referred for assistance, or (5) supplied by SSA officials, or (6) supplied by EAP counselors.
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act:

Susana - from Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep.
There are a number of egg-free egg substitutes available on the market that can replace eggs. There is also egg free cake mixes available, check at your local health food store or the healthful food aisle at your local grocery store.
Vegetable shortening can be used as a substitute for butter or margarine. These products will give a similar but not quite exact texture as butter. Vegetable shortening now comes in butter flavor. Try to choose shortening that is trans-fat free. Do not substitute liquid oils for butter or margarine as they will completely change the texture of the recipe you are making.

"Boxes where parents can leave an unwanted baby, common in medieval Europe, have been making a comeback over the last 10 years. Supporters say a heated box, monitored by nurses, is better for babies than abandonment on the street - but the UN says it violates the rights of the child."
I can understand why these would be a postitive thing in saving lives whereas unwanted babies may otherwise be abandoned to die or end up infanticide statistics. The controversy touches on the anonymity factor and that no birth mother information can ever be obtained by the child in the future. Additionally it doesn't address the mother's need for counselling and her health.
Edited for spelling.

Spaanstra elected chairman of Mines Board of Trustees
GOLDEN, Colo., Feb. 10, 2011 – The Colorado School of Mines Board of Trustees recently elected trustee James Spaanstra to serve as chairman of the board through Dec. 31, 2012.
Spaanstra, who initially was appointed to the board of trustees in 2008, is a partner in the law firm of Faegre & Benson LLP. He has been in private practice for more than 30 years, developing one of the largest and most diverse environmental practices in the Rocky Mountain region.
Spaanstra has worked his entire career on major projects for the extractive industries developed in large part by Mines graduates -- from the Exxon Colony Oil Shale project in the early 1980s to the recently approved Energy Fuels Piñon Ridge uranium mill. Early in his career, he served as a staff attorney for the Council on Environmental Quality in the Executive Office of the President of the United States where he helped develop national environmental policy. Since that time, he has actively participated in the drafting and development of environmental laws and regulations at the local, state and federal levels.
Spaanstra also currently serves as treasurer of the Great Outdoors Colorado Board of Directors and is a recent past chair of the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline and the Jefferson County Planning Commission. He is a founding director of the Colorado Hazardous Waste Management Society.
He received his B.S.in economics and political science from Grand Valley State University and his joint degree in Law and Public Policy from the University of Michigan Law School and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.
The board also elected trustee Admiral Richard Truly as vice chairman. Truly is a former astronaut who piloted the space shuttle Columbia and was commander of the space shuttle Discovery. He later served as administrator of NASA and director of NREL. Trustee Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains was elected as secretary of the board and Mines Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Kirsten Volpi was elected treasurer.

You have your blinker on, EVERYONE will understand. Those silly cars wanting to drive in what is now your turn lane will just have to wait!

By Kathy Van Mullekom Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)
When you don't have or want a traditional garden, you can still enjoy homegrown vegetables and herbs, thanks to some alternative ways of planting.
Here are two easy ones to try, and you don't need a yard to use them:
Pallet planting
Materials you need include a pallet, enough landscape fabric to line the pallet on both sides, vegetable or flower transplants, 1 cubic foot potting soil and fertilizer.
Here's how to plant a pallet, courtesy McDonald Garden Center in southeast Virginia.
Place the landscape fabric-lined pallet on end and fill with potting soil. Be sure not to pack too full so that the landscape fabric is bulging, but tap the soil down so it levels out, making sure to fill it to the top.
Pick out veggies, herbs, or flowers in annual packs to use for planting. Those in cell packs are smaller and easier to work with.
Cut the landscape fabric in the shape of an X to create a small hole or planting pocket and sprinkle in fertilizer.
Plant the edible or flower in the hole and push any excess soil up around the roots.
Space edibles out on each row of the pallet, about 3 inches apart.
Finish planting by adding edibles or flowering plants to the top of the pallet. These should be more vertical plants.
When watering, make sure the pallet is vertical with the open/top side up and slowly water every two to three days during spring or fall and daily during summer when soil dries out quickly.
Sometimes water may need to be added directly to young seedlings. Be sure to allow enough time for the water to seep down through the soil to get to the bottom plants.
Tip: You can either hang the veggie pallet on the wall or lean to display your vertical garden.
Straw bale gardening
The new book "Straw Bale Gardening" details how to grow vegetables anywhere: think patio, deck, porch, courtyard, driveway, parking lot, roof top or in the lawn.
Soilless, straw bales give you benefits to gardening, according to author Joel Karsten, a Minnesota-based garden author and University of Minnesota horticulture graduate, including:
- All the advantages of a raised bed garden, including taller height, less compaction, back-friendly planting and convenient harvesting.
- Fresh, insect- and disease-free growing media each season when you use new straw bales. Older ones can be composted or recycled.
- Earlier planting time because as the new straw decomposes, it releases heat that's good for seedlings and transplants. Poly tent covers are easy to fashion to protect crops from night temperatures that drop too low.
He also shares how to condition the bales over 10 to 12 days, using water and fertilizer so the bale center decomposes to create the ideal environment for seeds and plants.
Planting mixes can be used directly on top of the bales to grow cool-season crops such as peas, beans and lettuces; trellising wire-type structures can also be used to support vining crops.
The 140-page book, which includes plant profiles for the best crops, is $20.

Topic: Mum Diagnosed
Hi Everyone,
I have been avoiding introducing myself with the hope that the doctors got it wrong. My mother was diagnosed with cc April 25th 2007, a klatskins tumor in the bile duct is what they advised they had found after she had lost lots of weight, turned yellow and had terrible itching. A resection of the bile duct and part of the liver was planned for 20th of May, however once they went in they found the tumor had spread and they promptly stitched her back up and gave us the dreaded news.
We waited nearly 2 weeks to meet with the oncologist only to be given the news that the results of the biopsy that had been taken during surgery at one of the lymph nodes came back as negative - not cancer, in fact fibrosis. she went on to explain that sometimes the fibrosis surrounds the cancer and perhaps they didnt' take enough sample at the time. She then ran immunology tests and did some tumor markers, again, this has come back as negative. Yesterday Mum went in to have the temporary stent replaced with a metal one and they have now found that she will need two stents, one on the left and right side of the bile duct. they have taken samples from the bile duct to test and we wont know anything for a week with regards to whether it is definitely cancer. Has anyone here had any experiences like this?
Despite this rollercoaster, my mother remains strong and remarkably positive.
We are in Sydney, Australia and she is being treated at RPA.
thank you in advance

i want to design web site for Responsive which sizes i have to design?
I would think less about designing for specific resolution sizes, and instead design your site in a way that will function properly at any screen size. If you base your site around certain mobile screen sizes, and then a new phone/tablet comes out with a new unique size, then your site might suddenly break on that device.
which sizes i have to design?
All of them but none of them specifically.:)
As mentioned above it should be the content that dictates the breakpoint for you media query and not the width of some yet unknown device. Create a fluid site that scales all the way up and all the way down and you will collect all devices on the way without knowing anything about them.
Hi klevinparker123,
I think you should have to watch some tutorials from Youtube or Lynda.com then you must be understand which sizes or every thing you are learned from these site's tutorials.
Regards, Mamoon
Try some online tuts, check these links too-
Sizes: http://mobile.smashingmagazine.com/2013/03/21/responsive-web-design-with-physical-units/How to Approach: http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1816
Hi, Responsive web design means ensure that your website work well in on both large and small devices.While responsive design always consider in mind images, quick navigation, less loading time, typography. So design your website in a way that it run in all resolution sizes
If you design to 30x30 then it should fit on any device
In reality responsive means not designing for a size but building a site that automatically adjusts to the size of the display.
From what I've known responsive is supposed to fit all sizes. So if you're going to choose one size, how can it be called responsive?
Hi @klevinparker123 I asked the same question about responsive design a few months ago and got some great help, heres the link: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?1178981-Responsive-Design&p=5601500#post5601500
The most useful piece of information I found from this was this tutorial: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/css/cr...ideo-tutorial/
I have been doing web design for a year now, so I don't have the most advanced skill set as of yet and I easily followed this video. Found it very simple to follow and was quite chuffed with myself for building a responsive website.
I'm sure there are plenty of other great tutorials out there, as @Paul_O_B has mentioned above (I'd definitely take a look at these as he has helped me out a lot over the last few months! But just found the tutorial I have mentioned very helpful.
@Smarties83 In relation to your question:
I think you're asking the question that I originally asked on the subject. When you've finished the main code for your page you add some additional code as media query, this tells the page to behave in a certain way when the window is a certain size, here is some code that I did in the tutorial, hope this gives some kind of explanation:
@media only screen and (min-width: 150px) and (max-width: 600px)
.body {
width: 90%;
font-size: 95%;
.mainHeader img {
width: 100%;
.mainHeader nav {
height: 160px;
.mainHeader nav ul {
padding-left: 0;
.mainHeader nav ul li {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
.mainHeader nav a:link, .mainHeader nav a:visited {
padding: 10px 25px;
height: 20px;
display: block;
.content {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin-top: 2%;
.post-info {
display: none;
.topcontent {
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
padding: 3% 5%;
margin-top: 2px;
margin-bottom: 4%;
.bottomcontent {
margin-top: 3%;
.top-sidebar, .middle-sidebar, .bottom-sidebar {
width: 94%;
margin: 2% 0 2% 0;
padding: 2% 3%;
As I said I am just a beginner, so bear with me if any of this is incorrect or pretty simple...jus thought it might help.
Interested in learning how to make a responsive website also.. checking all the links provided.. Thanks
If you want to creating website for mobile view you can use Smartphone <480px
for tablet:Tablets portrait <768pxTablets landscape >768px
for desc top:Desktop >1024px
This dimensions are not fixed one.If you want change the dimension based on your device.
First of all you have to add meta viewport name and content in the header position of html.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
And then add the media query in your css styles page:
@media all and (max-width: 420px) { /* CSS coding for your device*/}

As already reported by others FindYourDomain.com sold Trumpet.com on Namejet for a price of $57,500 domains on Namejet. DNN reached out to the buyer, Nokta Domains. Arif Şengören told DNN:
As NoktaDomains.com, we are still going on buying premium domains in order to refresh and improve our domain portfolio. We are mainly focusing on one-word or two-word generic, commercial domains and Trumpet.com was one of them.
We believe that, $57,500 is a fair price for a one-word domain and we are proud to be the owner of this domain. In a very near future, it will be impossible to find a one-word domain with 5 figure prices.
What do you think of the purchase price? What would you do with the domain?

Much like how I attempt to do in my Walking Dead write-ups, I will try to judge the show on its own merits, rather than just as an adaptation of the novels. However, at the end of each review will be the condescendingly named 'Reader's Corner,' which will be a section just for those who have read the books. Here, I will ask questions and pose theories that may give away some future events.
With all of that said, let's get to it! Sunday's season premiere, 'The North Remembers,' had a ton of balls in the air, which it managed to juggle fairly well. We spent the entire episode checking in with faces both old and new, and laying the basic groundwork for the events of the coming season. Every few minutes, we would jump across the world, from a forest to a city to a desert to north of the Wall. As a result, the episode had a strange introductory feel, where it felt like they only had time to introduce stories, rather than tell them. However, the scenes we did get were all pretty great introductions, which set the tone for a more eventful season. It caused me to wonder how they are going to squeeze the book into ten episodes since they only had enough time to tell a few minutes of everyone's stories.
The season picks up back in King's Landing, where evil (and annoying and weird-looking, but admittedly pretty scary) King Joffrey is having a birthday party. It should come as no surprise that Joffrey's birthday parties involve men beating each other to death, with small children mopping up the blood afterwards. We're introduced to Ser Dontos, an oafish drunk who Joffrey attempts to have killed, until Sansa, his terrified wife-to-be, and the Hound, his personal thug, step in and convince him to spare Ser Dontos, making him his fool instead. It was interesting to see Sansa and the Hound team up like this, and I'm hoping this means that we'll get more of the Hound this season than we did last, 'cause he's awesome.
And then Tyrion shows up and instantly out-awesomes everyone else there. He saunters into the King's birthday party, with Joffrey frantically demanding to know why he's there. He strolls into his sister's Small Counsel meeting, whistling to himself. The thing I'm probably most excited for this season is lots of scenes of Tyrion giving Cersei a verbal smackdown, and this scene did not disappoint. I loved how Cersei immediately screamed for everyone but Tyrion to leave, and how totally bemused and unaffected Tyrion was by all of this. He loves being in a position of authority, even though he'd never admit it. Or actually, you know, maybe he would.
Tyrion's the only character we really checked in on more than once in this episode, (well, Cersei and Joffrey too, but they were part of the same King's Landing thread) and when we caught up with him again, he was enjoying the smells of the city with Shae, the prostitute who his father expressly forbid him from taking with him. Well, she's here, and her and Tyrion seem to be greatly enjoying each other's company, although we can only assume that she is still getting paid quite handsomely. It's always interesting to see Tyrion in this mode, rather than in political scheming mode, because he's so unused to being happy. In fact, that will be one ofthe most interesting things about Season 2 in general, as it's a season where things mostly go well for Tyrion. He's in power, he's got a beautiful woman, his sister doesn't have the authority to stop him from doing things, and for the first time, he's something besides 'The Imp.' He continues to easily be the most interesting character on a show full of interesting characters.
The other big King's Landing scene we got this week was between Cersei and Littlefinger, and it was one of my favorite moments in the episode. Littlefinger arrogantly proclaims that knowledge is power, and really, who knows more than him? Cersei, however, is quick to show him that 'power is power,' by having her guards nearly cut his throat. It was great to see Littlefinger overstep his bounds, but the true delight in the scene comes from knowing that no matter how much direct control Cersie has, Littlefinger is playing a much longer game, and probably has her exactly where he wants her. Littlefinger and Varys are some of the most fun characters to watch, because we're never sure what they're up to, but we know they're up to something.
We also got a scene between Joffrey and Cersei in the throne room, which I'm only going to bring up because Joffrey got slapped in it, which brings me great joy. Hopefully that happens at least once per episode.
While we're talking about my favorite scenes from the episode, let's talk about Jaime and Robb. The actor that plays Jaime was excellent here, finding the perfect balance between Jaime's inherent cockiness, and the shame he feels at having been defeated. Jaime is one of my favorite characters from the books, and it's great that they're going to give him more to do this season. (In the books, Jaime isn't really in Book 2, but the writers have said that they are moving some of his Book 3 storyline, which is AWESOME, into season 2 of the show.) The direwolf still didn't look amazing, but at least this time it wasn't just a dog, right? And it was still pretty cool to see a giant freakin' wolf running around.
Speaking of CG animals, Danaerys is lost in the desert with no food or water, but at least she's got dragons! There's not a ton to say about this scene, except 'hey, dragons!' Book 2 is pretty light on Dany as well, so it will be interesting to see where they take her character this season.
Meanwhile, North of the Wall, Jon and the boys of the Night's Watch are crashing at the home of a creepy old wildling named Craster, who marries all of his daughters. He's quick to single out Jon as a potential threat, and makes all sorts of threats about what will happen if Jon so much as looks at one of his creepy wives. The guy they got for Craster was great, and this scene had some really nice tension. The guy that plays Jon does a great Stoic Hero, and it's nice to see him out of his depths.
We got to meet some new characters this episode, in the form of Stannis, Davos, and Melisandre. Stannis is Robert's rightful heir, with Davos as his right-hand man, and Melisandre as his creepy witch advisor, who burns effigies of the old gods on the beach. This scene had a great, creepy quality to it, although I'm still not sure I love the casting of Melisandre. Stannis on the other hand is cast perfectly, and his personality is quickly and effectively portrayed with a scene where he copy-edits a letter, insisting that Jaime be referred to as both 'Ser' and 'Kingslayer,' since they are both technically correct. This scene also gave us another dose of magic, when Melisandre withstands drinking a glass of poison. This isn't the last trick we'll see ol' Mel pull this season, as her fiery God has blessed her with all sorts of creepy gifts. Something I love about this show is how shocking it is when something magical happens, since most of the characters have never seen magic in their lives.
This brings us to the end of the episode, where they murdered a baby in a brothel, just in case you forgot you were watching an HBO show. This scene was disturbing and effective, as we witnessed all of Robert's bastards being eliminated. All except for Gendry, who we see on the road with Arya. And then.... cut to black.
All in all, a pretty good premier, despite feeling a bit overstuffed. Hopefully later episodes will feel free to shift their focus to a few specific characters, rather than feeling like they need to constantly check in with everyone. Regardless, I know I'm looking forward to seeing how they squeeze it all in.
Readers Corner (SPOILERS)
- Hello fellow bookies. So... What did you guys think of Stannis, Davos, and Melisandre, since we know that they're gonna be around for a while?
- Did anyone one else laugh out loud when Theon called himself an 'honest man?'
- We probably get to meet Brienne and Margaery next week! I'm excited.
- Did anyone else think it was weird that they introduced Ser Dontos so early? I really like the guy they got to play him, though.
- What moments from the book are you guys looking forward to this season?

By John Boyle Herald Writer
RENTON — The contract extension signed by Kam Chancellor was good news for the Seattle Seahawks because it means they'll keep one of their key defensive players for the foreseeable future.
Chancellor's new contract was also, however, a reminder that the Seahawks have a lot of young, talented players who are looking to get paid in the coming years.
And while Chancellor's presence will help Seattle's secondary for years to come, his contract, as well as those that could be coming to free safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Richard Sherman next offseason, are reasons why the Seahawks need to draft well in other areas this week. The Seahawks can afford to pay their young defensive backs, and later down the road, quarterback Russell Wilson, only if they are saving money in other areas.
It's all fine and good to spend big on pass-catchers and linemen, which Seattle is now, when the quarterback and All-Pro corner are on rookie deals. But if the Seahawks are going to pay those young players to keep them around, they'll need to find bargains at other positions soon.
And in this year's draft, some of the best bargains could come in the trenches, particularly at offensive tackle and throughout the defensive line. Left tackle Russell Okung is a player the Seahawks hope to keep around. But if there was a rookie out there, say someone like Arkansas Pine-Bluff's Terron Armstead, capable of replacing right tackle Breno Giacomini at a fraction of the cost, Seattle would have to consider that type of move. The Seahawks wouldn't replace Giacomini because they're unhappy with his play, but if they could avoid paying him $3.5 million this year while paying a rookie a few hundred thousand, that might make good business sense.
When asked about how he builds a draft board, Seahawks general manager John Schneider said, "It's impacted based on the depth at each position and how we think people compete at certain positions with the guys that are currently on our roster or the guys that we project may not be on the roster in 2014."
So it isn't just a matter of taking the best guy available, but rather addressing depth, and as mentioned above, the Seahawks need to develop depth in the trenches more than anywhere. Giacomini is a free agent after this season, and on the defensive line, players like Brandon Mebane, Chris Clemons, Red Bryant and Cliff Avril all are taking up a lot of cap space.
If the Seahawks are looking for offensive line depth in the middle rounds, a possibility mentioned by CBSSports.com draft guru Rob Rang is Alabama's Barrett Jones. Jones, who is listed as a center, has the versatility to play just about anywhere on the line, which could make him an ideal backup who might develop into a starter.
"He's actually not a very good athlete, but he's so tough and so smart that I could see them being intrigued by a player like him," Rang said.
What might make more sense in the second round for Seattle is to draft a defensive lineman, especially if that player is a starting-caliber tackle. Two-year starter Alan Branch is gone, and while the Seahawks have options on the roster to fill that spot, including the recently-added Tony McDaniel and second-year players Jaye Howard and Greg Scruggs, none of them are a lock to win the starting job.
This year's draft is deep on the defensive line, so when the Seahawks are on the clock Friday, they should have good options available if they do in fact want to bolster the D-line.
"I personally think defensive line is the more likely scenario for them, and there should be a number of defensive lineman available at 56 (the 56th overall pick in the draft) who could complement what they're doing," Rang said. "They could go for an interior player like Brandon Williams, a small school kid from Missouri Southern. Then some of the pass rushers on the outside, Alex Okafor from Texas, Sam Montgomery from LSU, those are guys who use their hands well, they're stronger at the point of attack that Bruce Irvin, so they'd complement him rather than be a player with the same skill set."
Adding another defensive end might seem strange when you just look at the 2013 season alone, but for a team that has playoff-caliber talent before adding anyone this week, picking an end who could replace an expensive veteran in a year or two could prove vital if the Seahawks are to maintain a high level of play for years to come.

Railhead Systems is one of three divisions encompassing Railhead Corporation founded in 1964. Although we specialize in mobile applications, RVS now offers platform video within the transportation industry.
Our story begins with our first video installation on Amtrak in 1995, thus making us a true pioneer in the industry. The video systems installed on Amtrak had their own specific objective. The system was equipped in a cab car comprising of a forward facing camera, microphone and recorder. It was designed to catch trespassers and vehicles going around the crossing gates.
Another system was installed on a switcher locomotive consisting of a camera and monitor. This system was designed to cover the blind spots on the locomotive during switching operations.
Technology has come a long way since those first installations fifteen years ago. We are now able to view up to 16 channels of live wireless video, synchronize with GPS time and maps, synchronize with and remotely view Event Recorder Data, and now we even offer Stand Alone Systems for commuter platforms utilizing the same proven software in our mobile platform.
We work both in aftermarket and OEM with many makes and models of locomotives and cab cars. Our primary strength has always been our ability to customize the solution to the job.

Men and Women Close Home Schedule with Impressive Performances
SAINT LEO, Fla. – It was a special day at the Bowman Center Pool as five team records fell in the Lions dual triumphs over visiting Rollins College in Sunshine State Conference action on Senior Day. The men rolled in a 157-105 victory and the women rallied in the final three events to claim a 142-120 win.
"Our women tied earlier in the year, so to beat the Tars by 22 points is a direct reflection of our improvement from the beginning of the year to now," quoted head coach Paul Mangen. "We will use this momentum as we head into the conference and NCAA preparations. The SSC is one of the most highly anticipated DII swimming conferences in the country and we're very excited to be a part of that equation and add to the zeal.
Like the women, our men increased the margin of victory from 20 to 52, showing more development despite some injuries and roster changes from the last time we faced the Tars. The men wanted to break that 200 medley relay today so we decided to put up one of our best lineups for that specific event. They accomplished that team goal as well as about a dozen best dual meet swims individually."
After honoring six graduating seniors prior to the meet, the Lions proceeded to claim wins in 21-of-28 combined events, with Michael Cozzi claiming wins in four individual events. Men's swimmer Antonio Roki had the best day of all SLU swimmers as he broke three team records in his four victories.
When reflecting on his relationship with his graduating class, Mangen said, "I'm happy for our seniors to have had such accomplished careers here at Saint Leo and to cap off our dual meet season with two big wins over a program that's been around for two decades. Their contributions in the pool and the classroom, and their character are invaluable and play an integral part in our growth as a program."
Roki set new marks of :53.56 in the 100 yd backstroke, 1:57.57 in the 200 yard backstroke and set a record in the backstroke leg of the 200 yard medley relay with a time of :25.17. He wasn't the only men's swimmer to set records as Derek Maddigan and Gabriel Keown also set marks in their respective legs of the 200 IM. Maddigan set a new mark in the breaststroke leg with a time of :27.17 and Keown set a mark in the butterfly leg with a time of :23:17.
While the men's side of the meet was determined in the first half of the day, the Saint Leo women needed to rally after originally holding a lead over the visiting Tars. Suddenly down by one point with just three events remaining, the Lions saw seniors Mindy Pierce and Jessica Pall pick up wins in the 100 yd butterfly and the 200 yd IM to get SLU back on top. The Lions solidified the SSC win on the women's side when Saint Leo's top relay team claimed victory in the 400 yd freestyle relay.
Bianca Muniz and Maggie Walker were tops for on the women's side as both played parts in four individual or team wins. Muniz claimed victory in the 100 and 200 yd breaststroke and Walker won honors in 50 and 100 yd freestyle. Both teamed up, along with Pierce and senior Alisha Adams to win the 400 freestyle relay, .09 away from a new team record, and Chloe Pellican and Adams to pick up the 200 IM relay.
"The team as a whole has finally broken through with the rigors of a very demanding training regiment, some tough losses, and for the past four weeks straight we've all gotten faster and I do not think that trend will change through conference and the NCAA's."
After concluding the final regular season meet for the Lions' six seniors, Adams, Pierce, Pall, Liz Casey, Thomas Rey and Travis VanBuren, the Lions will prepare for the SSC Swimming Championships in Orlando, Fla. The Lions will join the five other conference teams at the YMCA Aquatic Center over the week of February 17-20 to compete for the first-ever SSC swim title.

Oprah Winfrey's 'biggest yard sale ever'
(Yahoo!) - Some people really want to get their hands on Oprah's hand-me-downs! The talk show queen hosted what she called "the biggest yard sale ever" at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club on Saturday, Nov. 2, and fetched nearly $600,000 for her personal items, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The "Oprah Winfrey Collection," which included "antiques, contemporary items, and fine art" from the OWN founder's homes in Santa Barbara, Chicago, Hawaii, and Indiana, attracted many buyers who simply wanted to own something that belonged to Oprah, no matter how high the price.
The big-ticket item of the day was six 18th century Louis XVI armchairs with hand-embroidered details, which sold for $60,000, reported the Times.
One of O's teapots nabbed $1,000, but was reported to be worth less than $100. A set of crystal lamp bases without the shades, worth $200 to $400, grabbed $2,500. A dog portrait characterized in the catalog as "folk art" went for $1,400 –about three times its estimated value.
Getting ready.Having biggest yard sale ever this wknd! Before u bid sign up here:http://t.co/zKlFNSPn5n #Redecorating pic.twitter.com/nkaD2XAN9O— Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) October 30, 2013
Oprah took to Twitter during the auction to say she "had so much fun at the auction" before she headed out to another event.
Had so much fun at the auction which is still going on. Getting ready for tweet fest for @IyanlaVanzant #FixMyLife see you 9pm— Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) November 2, 2013
The proceeds from the sale will all be donated to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation College Fund, which is dedicated to helping graduates of The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls — South Africa attend colleges and universities around the world. The final tally for the auction will be revealed on Monday.
It sounds like Oprah had a pretty good day at the bidding block. Would you have paid that much for one of O's pieces?

Was $249.95 NOW $179.95
This hot air fryer earned The Best designation from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it fried the crispiest, most succulent food with only a tablespoon of oil. The Best model fried french fries, chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks until they were golden-brown with crisp exteriors and moist, flavorful interiors, unlike lesser models that burned the outside or undercooked the inside. The Best Hot Air Fryer has an infrared heating element that heats to 400� F and its internal fan circulates dry hot air to cook food evenly with 80% less fat than deep-fried foodstuffs. The Best model was the only unit with a removable divider that keeps foods like fish sticks and potato chips separate while they cook simultaneously. The unit adjusts to cook between 170� F and 400� F, it has a 60-minute timer, and cooks up to four cups of french fries at once. Frying basket is dishwasher safe. 13" H x 13 1/2" W x 11" D.

This works great. I have had several deep fryers over the years. This works almost as good as a real deep fryer. The taste is very close to deep fried with oil only a little healthier.

Should amateurs be paid a purse - yes or no?
The very definition of amateur means they should not be paid, as in all other amateur sports. So, if you think amateur mma fighters who fight under whatever interpretation of rules you wish, should or should not be paid a purse, all I'm asking is what are your reasons.
Personally, I think it makes a mockery of the sport when amateurs are requesting a purse to fight, whether no headshots, NSAC/UAR rules, if the sport is to move forward in recognition and professionailm, there needs to be a clear definition between the two codes, and that includes a sound amateur base just like in boxing.
Amateur ranks are deemed as the lace to learn your trade. Professional is where you're supposed to get paid.
Promoters I feel should stop paying purses for amateurs. By all means cover expenses for travel and give ticket deals, but advertising purses for amateurs is a farce. Just look at Find A Fight to see the amount of adverts on there.
What is the justification for paying an amateur to fight?
Look forward to constructive comments from you folks.

VICTORVILLE - A Corona man was arrested by San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies at his home Wednesday on suspicion of burglary and extortion.
Dennis Jackson, 61, is alleged to have posed as a state Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspector at the Pick and Pull Automotive on Gas Line Road, using the alias of Tim Peters.
Jackson also claimed to be a retired FBI agent and showed employees a badge, the Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
He told the owner he needed to inspect the business and during the inspection, he told the owner he was going to fine him for a violation, authorities said.
Jackson told the owner he could settle the fine by paying him cash, authorities said.
The owner learned in a phone call to Cal OSHA that Jackson was not an employee.
Investigators identified Jackson after the business owner provided them with a car license plate.
On Wednesday, a search warrant was served at Jackson's Corona home in the 24000 Block of Fawnskin Drive and he was arrested on suspicion of entering a business with the intent to commit theft.
He was booked at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga. He posted bail Wednesday night and was released.
Investigators said Jackson may have attempted to or has been successful at extorting money from other businesses.
Investigators ask anyone with information, or who believe they may have been a victim, to contact the sheriff's Victorville station at 760-241-2911.

It's going to be interesting to see how they increase the screen size without lowering the ppi below the magic 300 or adding any significant fragmentation. Hopefully 9:5 as imagined by a caller on The Verge.
4.0 inches ?
Welcome to 2009, Apple.
4.7" to 5.0" screens are currently doing it for consumers.
Apple's problem lies in producing just one size phone - and with screens, one size most definitely doesn't fit all.
Every other manufacturer does small, medium and large variants - difficult to understand why Apple refuses to see the writing on the wall here.
It can't be a profit thing because while it saves on manuf'g costs to have one size, the net is negative because you lose all the customers who don't want the size you're making.
From which we must deduce that it some kind of cult thing.
Apple needs to understand that cult status is not a function of limiting choice, but of producing excellence.
Whether you love or hate them, big screens are outselling small ones.
The problem for me is that I always wonder whether large-screen hatred comes from the same Apple fanboys who if Apple only made 4.7" screens, would hate small screens.
That's why I always find the screensize conversation on Apple forums difficult ... because it's difficult to have a useful conversation with any kind of fanboy.
Not saying you are one - just explaining why this conversation often ends up with people making themselves look ridiculous ... and apparently not realising or perhaps, caring about it.
Owning both a 4s and the HTC One X I can honestly say the display on the X is so much clearer and nicer to look at. 4.7 inches seems to work perfectly. I too looked at the note and think it is bizarre. I still prefer theming on ios but that aside its a no brainer.
'according to unnamed sources'... Post-death Jobs is going to become like post-death Disney: I look forward to reports of him being in cryogenic suspension under Apple HQ.
Its called natural progression I suppose. Apple has to compete with what is currently out there. Android phones get bigger by the hour. Soon enough they will introduce and iPad sized handset ahhaha! I mean come on..back to the Zach Morris phone? Just make the screen bigger Apple and leave the body alone..thanks in advance!
Can you imagine picking it up is no longer just picking it up - it's opening something up too.
Why not have a screen that's larger than the body ?
Maybe a lateral holographic extension ?
I think wanting a larger screen in the same sized body is known as wanting to have cake and eat it.
Unfortunately, only one at a time is possible (currently).
Then go check out smartphone sales trends by screensize.
The reason Android phones sell against the superior iPhone is BECAUSE they cater to the sector of the market ignored by Apple : - the sector that wants a screen bigger than 3.5".
If Apple DID cater for that sector, I'd probably never even bought the selection of Android phones I did.
They could drop the next iPhone and every succeeding iPhone with a 3.5" screen and watch their market share decline to a hard core of Apple fanboys.
And as to Who the hell wants a bigass brick in your hands for a phone, that would be me and everyone who's bought a smartphone with a screen larger than 3.5" ... a pretty bigass percentage of the market that Apple's missed out on.
But I have a 7" tablet and an iPad - both of which serve particular size-specific roles.
I can see my iPhone-4 screen clear as day - but I can see my HTC Evo 3D's 4.3" screen even clearer.
Apple's orientation will grow increasingly commercial and within three years, they'll start offering the iPhone in a variety of sizes ... and you won't have to poop your diapers every time someone voices their desire for one with a larger screen.
I like the idea but that looks stupid compared to the other gen iPhones with either the black or white on both sides of the screen

As Typhoon Haiyan ripped through the Philippines,
Mount Saint Mary College nursing professor Priscilla Sagar knew she
had to aid the people of her home country.
Sagar, whose brothers and extended family live in the
Philippines, said the news of the natural disaster was "very
shocking. I couldn't believe the destruction, and it devastated me
just looking at it."
The professor is a longtime member of the Philippine Nurses
Association of New York, a chapter of the Philippine Nurses
Association of America, Inc.
Sagar partnered with the organization – comprised of
Filipino-American nurses from across the country – to help with
relief efforts.
"Many, many people need help," she said. "Not just now – when
current efforts are done, they will still need so much."
Donations will be given to the PNA chapter in the Philippines,
to be used for food, medical supplies, water, and other
To donate, make checks payable to Philippine Nurses Association
of America and send to:
Jeanette Livelo
20 Woodcliff Road
Holbrook, MA 02343
"I'm really very thankful to the Mount community for helping
out," said Sagar.
Sagar is an expert in transcultural nursing.
Her second book, Transcultural Nursing Education Strategies,
will be released in December 2013. Book contributors include six
Mount faculty members, a former faculty member, and two May 2013
Faculty, staff, and students at Mount Saint Mary College have a
long history of quickly responding to local and national
When Colorado was slammed by massive flooding early this
semester, Mount students gathered more than $300 for food and water
donations in less than a week.
Last semester, about two dozen Mount students made a
humanitarian trip to the Dominican Republic. The group gave away
more than 600 "health packs," which contained soap, a tooth brush,
toothpaste, and adhesive bandages.
In January 2014, students will return to the Dominican Republic
to give another round of aid.
They welcome donations of vitamins, toothbrushes, toothpaste,
soap, and gift cards to local merchants, which can be dropped off
at the nursing office, Aquinas Hall, second floor, 330 Powell
Avenue, Newburgh, NY between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm, through
December 15, 2013.
Mount students actively serve the local area through club
participation in Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity,
the MSMC Serves initiative, Knights in the Community, and more.
The Mount's International Education Week took place only days
after the typhoon, and Emily Marmo, director of international
studies, used the opportunity to focus students on relief
International Education Week celebrates the benefits of
education and idea exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the

This is the third year Mount Saint Mary College has participated
in the event, which included a discussion of international health
issues and introductions to Irish and Spanish dance.
Amanda Alexander, a nursing major, had never played the African
drums before Mount Saint Mary College's recent International
Education Week introduced her to the instrument.
As her hands swept over the skin of the African drum,
Alexander's song was a rhythmic heartbeat, pumping sound and soul
through the crowd.
The Filipino people can recover, said Sagar, with a little heart
from local donors, and some soul of their own.
