Episode 2 of 8
Duration: 1 hour
In this episode, Andrew Marr tells the story of the first empires which laid the foundations for the modern world.
From the Assyrians to Alexander the Great, conquerors rampaged across the Middle East and vicious wars were fought all the way from China to the Mediterranean. But this time of chaos and destruction also brought enormous progress and inspired human development. In the Middle East, the Phoenicians invented the alphabet, and one of the most powerful ideas in world history emerged: the belief in just one God. In India, the Buddha offered a radical alternative to empire building - a way of living that had no place for violence or hierarchy and was open to everyone.
Great thinkers from Socrates to Confucius proposed new ideas about how to rule more wisely and live in a better society. And in Greece, democracy was born - the greatest political experiment of all. But within just a few years, its future would be under threat from invasion by an empire in the east...

Manager Paulo Sergio believes the short and long-term future is bright for Hearts as the Edinburgh club continues to battle financial problems.
Hearts paid their first-team squad and coaching staff their March wages on Wednesday, which had been due on March 16, as salaries were delayed significantly for a fourth time this season.
Sergio, whose own future is still to be clarified, said: "The Hearts board and directors are serious people. They are fighting. Life is not easy in this moment all over the world.
"We are getting paid with a delay. It's a pity we can't get paid in the right moment, because they're finding the money not in the right moment.
"That doesn't help, but we have to believe that people are working hard to live a normal situation.
"I believe that's going to happen in the future, that's going to happen next season.
"People are working hard to put things in place."
There was a glimpse of the future last week against St Johnstone, with injuries forcing the promotion to the first-team ranks of a number of younger players, who could yet come further to the fore next term with cost-cutting measures likely to be implemented this summer.
Among them was goalkeeper Mark Ridgers, who came on as a half-time substitute after Jamie MacDonald left the action due to a hip injury.
MacDonald is to be assessed ahead of Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Aberdeen as Hearts go in search of the point which will almost certainly secure their place in the top half of the table at the imminent split.
But Scotland Under-21 international Ridgers could start if MacDonald fails to prove his fitness, with no sign of an end to impasse over Marian Kello, who is out of contract at the end of the season and has been in dispute with the Hearts board.
"I think it's going to be okay," Sergio said of the goalkeeper situation.
Strikers Craig Beattie (heel) and Stephen Elliott (hip) and midfielders Ian Black (hernia) and Mehdi Taouil (back) were also absent from the Perth clash.
Sergio had a similar complaint to Beattie while he was a player in his native Portugal and believes the only cure is rest - a luxury Hearts do not have with the SPL campaign and a William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final to come.
"Your heel you use to walk, to drive, to do everything," Sergio added.
"To be completely healed he needs a long period. Now we need to manage that."
Midfielder Jason Holt made an impression on his maiden first-team start and scored in the 2-1 loss at Hearts, but Sergio believes more young talent is at his disposal and it is down to them to prove they can feature regularly next season.
Sergio added: "There are a few others that after a long season like this that deserve to have that chance to play too. Like Denis Prychynenko, Jordan Morton, others. I believe they have the quality.
"I will try to give them that chance (before the end of the season). It's up to them to show if they are strong enough, good enough to be part of that future."
Sergio is eager for Hearts to finish the season strongly, once the top-six place is secure.
He added: "After January, achieving the top six first was our target. That doesn't mean that we don't have ambition.
"If we can be fifth, we don't want to be sixth. If we can be fourth, we don't want to be fifth.
"Each game is going to be hard but we're going to be ready to fight for the points in each one.
"This is a tight league. In each game everybody can beat everybody.
"We need to be very focused and work a lot to beat Aberdeen."

Extreme Networks Enhances BYOD Campus Network Solution With New Low-Cost Wireless Access Points
Newly expanded family of high performance Access Points (APs) complements intelligent switches, identity management and high performance controllers
SINGAPORE, June 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- COMMUNICASIA -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced further expansion of its Intelligent Mobile Edge (IME) Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) campus solution. The Company is making mobility more affordable with a new line of 802.11n wireless LAN access points complementing its sophisticated identity management, ease of user and device onboarding, and Smart RF® for automated site deployment of wireless LANs. The solution is supported by ExtremeXOS®, a single modular software platform supporting all edge and core network switches.
Extreme Networks® new solution helps mobilize businesses and schools with a combination of hardware and software intelligence easing the burden of the BYOD movement. Extreme Networks IME is available with expanded offerings to help enterprises respond to the proliferation of devices and wireless services across campus networks. Enterprises require expanded choices and more affordable solutions to deploy next-generation 802.11n wireless technology without compromising mobility features and performance.
The key benefits of Extreme Networks IME include a converged data plane based on the Motorola WiNG 5 architecture. The system can increase the performance of wireless services compared to traditional hub and spoke WLAN systems by removing traditional bottlenecks. Extreme Networks smart identity management brings user, device and location awareness to network administrators, so that mobile users are tracked and accounted for without manual intervention.
Extreme Networks new wireless APs serve to lower the cost of deploying wireless networks and meet the growing demands of increased wireless traffic with intelligence and independence. The SmartRF system for APs helps ensure uninterrupted user access by dynamically sensing weak of failing signals, securely moving users to alternate APs and automatically boosting signal power to fill in coverage gaps.
"The growth of wireless traffic and new devices has organizations struggling with the costs of upgrading their networks to meet user demand," said David Ginsburg, CMO for Extreme Networks. "Extreme Networks is addressing the challenge by providing IT with increased WLAN options, and lower prices supporting the most sophisticated, enterprise-class mobility solution."
Extreme Networks IME portfolio:
The Intelligent Mobile Edge solution will be showcased at CommunicAsia in Singapore this week.

Health Department Asks for Public Input on Health Priorities
Albany, April 18 -- What should New York State's public health priorities be in the next decade? The New York State Department of Health has launched an unprecedented effort to seek public opinion by going directly to the source -- the people whose health they protect.
In kicking off the extensive outreach effort, State Health Commissioner Barbara A. DeBuono, M.D., said, "We want to know what important health issues are facing your family, your friends and your community. What is the cause of these health problems and how can they be corrected?"
People will be able to provide input and obtain information through regular mail and the Internet's electronic mail, by calling a statewide, toll-free number, or by participating in regional roundtable workshop discussions.
The initiative is being conducted by the State Health Department in conjunction with the Public Health Council. A special Public Health Priorities Committee established by the Public Health Council will develop public health objectives for the next decade. The Committee is chaired by Dr. Mary Hibberd, Suffolk County Health Commissioner. "New Yorkers' input is very valuable. We're hoping to hear from everyone, from public health professionals, health care providers, academics, representatives of business and labor, clergy, and consumer groups, senior citizens, teenagers and college students, parents, and anyone else interested in health issues," said Public Health Priorities Chairperson Mary Hibberd.
"We also are looking for local, successful public health activities which will lead to the largest reduction in preventable death and disabilities and the greatest improvement in the quality of life for New Yorkers."
"Each health issue identified by the public will be considered by the panel," Dr. Hibberd promised. "New York has a diverse population spread out in urban areas, suburbs and rural communities. While each county has its unique concerns, there are shared health problems as well."
A Sampling of Department Data Reveals Statewide Health Issues, such as:
- Heart Disease. It's the leading cause of death in the State.
- Cancer. Lung cancer kills nearly 10,000 New Yorkers annually, and about 3,500 women die of breast cancer.
- Physical Fitness. Obesity among adults in New York increased from 19% in 1987 to 27% in 1994.
- HIV Infection. As of March 1, 1996, 97,850 AIDS cases were reported; New York accounts for nearly 20% of AIDS cases reported nationwide.
- Alcohol and Drugs. New York's age-adjusted, drug-related death rate is approximately 7 out of every 100,000, more than twice as high as the national goal.
- Adolescents and Tobacco. In 1994, 17% of adolescents were smoking daily.
- Lead Poisoning. In 1993, an estimated 28% of children, nine months to five years, were tested for lead poisoning.
"While health statistics can track and assess public health diseases and services, we'd like New Yorkers from different areas of the state to help identify and prioritize health issues most important to them and to their communities," Public Health Council Chairperson Louise Woerner said.
New Yorkers Can Provide Input in Many Ways. Six Roundtable Workshops are Scheduled During May in Various Regions in the State:
- May 1, Binghamton
- May 2, East Syracuse
- May 6, Batavia
- May 9, Albany
- May 14, Stony Brook
- May 17, Manhattan
Those wishing to attend need to pre-register by calling 1-800-458-1158. Those interested in submitting written comments may mail them to the New York State Health Department, Health Priorities, Box 2000, Albany, New York 12220. Comments may also be sent by electronic mail to email@example.com or to the Department's World Wide Web page at http://www.state.ny.us. New Yorkers may also call a statewide toll-free hotline to report their health concerns at 888-281-7806.
"This is an excellent opportunity for New Yorkers to actively take part and directly contribute to improving the quality of health for themselves, their loved ones and their community. The more ideas we garner, the better tailored and effective our health priorities plan can be," Dr. DeBuono stressed.

WHO spearheads vaccination awareness weeks
20-26 APRIL 2009 - This week, two regions - Americas and Europe - are uniting to vaccinate millions of children, adults and seniors. The European Immunization Week (EIW) is taking place from 20 to 26 April and the Vaccination week in the Americas (VWA) will be held from 25 April to 2 May.
A news story highlighting the two events has been posted on the IVB website.
For the first time, the EIW is using innovative Internet-based viral techniques and social media to advocate for immunization across Europe. An animated video, which posted on YouTube, aims to spread the EIW message virally (online) as well as driving traffic to the EIW website. Social networking sites such as Facebook, BKontakte and Studivz are also used to reinforce the message.

Red Cross Investigation
CBS investigates "widespread mismanagement and fraud" the Red Cross has been grappling with. Based on internal memos and audits, the series reports on how Joseph Lecowitch, head of the New Jersey chapter stole more than one million dollars. Other findings are that many chapters have not remitted their Sept. 11 donations to national headquarters; chapters are dipping into the National Disaster Fund "for unnamed purposes;" blood has been taken from donors who said they tested positive for AIDS or were not properly screened; and suspected transfusion-related diseases are not investigated.

ICG Communications, a telecommunication upstart that provided Internet services, is heading toward Chapter 11 despite industry titans pouring money into the company. ICG borrowed heavily to grow fast, but could not manage its growth. The CEO, a politically-connected jet-setter, was rarely seen in office during troubled times.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #216 Crown him with many crowns, The Lamb upon his throne; Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own: Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who died for thee, And hail him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. Crown him the Lord of love; Behold his hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified: No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. Crown him the Lord of peace; Whose pow'r a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise: His reign shall know no end; And round his pierced feet Fair flowers of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time; Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime: All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me: Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity.

The development of large-scale suspension cell cultures using microcarriers has long been a focus of attention in the fields of pharmacy and biotechnology. Previously, we developed cell-detachable microcarriers based on temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm)-grafted beads, on which adhering cells can be noninvasively harvested by only reducing the temperature without the need for proteolytic enzyme treatment. In this study, to improve the cell harvest efficiency from bead surfaces while maintaining cell adhesion and proliferation properties, we prepared temperature-responsive cationic copolymer-grafted beads bearing a copolymer brush consisting of IPAAm, positively charged quaternary amine monomer (3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride; APTAC), and hydrophobic monomer (N-tert-butylacrylamide; tBAAm). The incorporation of positively charged APTAC into the grafted copolymer brush facilitated bead dispersibility in a cell culture system containing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells and consequently allowed for enhanced cell proliferation in the system compared to that of unmodified CMPS and conventional PIPAAm homopolymer-grafted beads. Additionally, P(IPAAm-co-APTAC-co-tBAAm) terpolymer-grafted beads exhibited the most rapid and efficient cell detachment behavior after the temperature was reduced to 20 °C, presumably because the highly hydrated APTAC promoted the overall hydration of the P(IPAAm-co-APTAC-co-tBAAm) chains. Therefore, P(IPAAm-co-APTAC-co-tBAAm) terpolymer-grafted microcarriers are effective in facilitating both cell proliferation and thermally induced cell detachment in a suspension culture system. |

Quick Wins
Unlike traffic generating exercises such as search engine optimisation many of the gains to be realised in improving conversion rates can come relatively quickly.
One of the quickest ways to identify these is by conducting a Conversion Audit. An audit can be completed by Push within two to three days, often with actions that can be immediately implemented to allow your business to start benefiting from conversion improvements.
For now here are some quick wins you should consider
- Take the 'ten out of ten' test. Take 10 people who have never seen your site (or heard of your business) before and show them the main page on your site for just 10 seconds. Ask them independently what the site does. You might be surprised.
- Ensure that your main call to actionCall to Action: An object on a page such as a button or graphic that demands the user to take an action. is clearly visible and 'above the fold'. Bear in mind that most users of your website will not be prepared to scroll down the page to see important messages. If these messages aren't immediately visible they will probably get missed.
- Review Analytics to identify the pages with high bounce ratesBounce Rates: These rates measure the visitors that come to your site and immediately exit. and react to these.
- Test, test and test again. Stop deliberating over suggested changes or ideas. Get your hands dirty and test small changes to the site from time to time.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Police say a convicted sex offender was arrested early Saturday morning after officers caught him driving with only one working headlight.
Officers spotted the driver in the area of Academy Park Loop and Chapman Drive in Colorado Springs around 3:30 a.m. In addition to the broken headlight, he had two broken taillights.
The driver did not have any identification on him, but gave officers a name and birthdate after he was pulled over. Police could not verify his information.
Police say the man gave them two other names and birthdays, neither of which were able to be confirmed. The driver finally told police that he had identification at his home, so officers drove him there in order to verify who he was.
Once at the man's home, police were given a fourth name, Christopher Harty, which they were able to confirm. Harty had two felony warrants and two misdemeanor warrants for his arrest, and was taken into custody. Police say he also received charges of failure to register as a sex offender, attempt to influence a public official, and criminal impersonation.
Harty was arrested and taken to the CJC.

In 1993, he stopped two US Air Force T-34 Aircraft (285 horsepower each) from taking off, earning him "The Association of Oldetime Barbell and Strongmen Highest Achievement Award." In 1995, Dennis successfully prevented four Harley Davidson Motorcycles from moving at full throttle for 12 seconds. In 1998, he bent a ½ inch thick, 17.25 inch long steel bar around his neck into a "U" shape. In 2001, he bent an 8 inch adjustable wrench into the shape of an "S" – another incredible feat that he performed on multiple occasions. He has broken official police handcuffs, easily tears thick phonebooks vertically using only two fingers and can drive a nail with one blow of his fist through a frying griddle and 2" thick board- at the same time. And these are just a handful of his incredible feats of strength. Lest we forget his one arm curl of 98 pounds x 10 reps performed at a bodyweight of 148 pounds!

I'm just getting into packrafting and am having a hell of a time getting my gear load down to a manageable bow weight. What do you guys recommend for a three day weekend jaunt? Also - lets just start a general pack rafting conversation.... -Have any of you figured out a good way to transport a spey rod? -Anyone up for a long hike in and float down - hiked up 10mi of an OP river, pretty amazing. Just getting the conversation rolling. Haven't run into many packrafters here in WA.
What are you putting in there to have a heavy bow? And which packraft are you using? If you can pack the packraft and all your gear in 10 miles, it shouldn't be too heavy of a load for your bow. Or if it is, you may need a bigger packraft. When you say transport a spey rod do you mean set up so you can stop and use it easily, not just stuck in a rod tube? My last packrafting trip I had a 9 1/2' fly rod set up the whole time and at first I tried putting the reel up by my seat between my legs with it sticking over the front, resting on my dry bag. That was often in the way. I found it much better to put the reel up towards my feet, rod between my body and arm pointing out the back. I know it doesn't sound good, but that gave me the best range of motion to paddle and didn't bounce around and get in the way. I was using a Baylee 1 River Runner and you could easily strap a Scotty Rod holder with the float tube attachments. You would simply run the straps through the self bailing holes in the floor. Oh yes, it is a self-bailing packraft and yes, if you used it you would want to buy it. I actually bought three Baylee's to rent and sell out our raft rental business at Minam. I first bought an NRS packraft and tested it out on the Wenaha, then took it into Joseph Creek for some class III+ to Class 4 whitewater. I wont do that again and decided the NRS packraft was not good enough for what I wanted. After doing more research I had to get one of the Baylee River Runners. I haven't had them too long but have taken them on test trips down the Wallowa River, hiked in to the Eagle Cap Wilderness with them twice to run the Minam River. The first time with another guy down Moss Springs trailhead to Red's Horse Ranch and floated out to the Minam Store (about 23 miles or so), second trip was solo going in the Bearwallow trailhead to Standley, and then dropping down into the Minam several miles upriver from Red's Horse Ranch and floating out about 25 miles to the Minam Store. I am not up to driving to the coast where there is bound to be more people, but if you want to come to eastern Oregon you can certainly join me for a packrafting trip.
Wow, those Baylees look like GREAT boats. Jesse, what are you using for shelter? Bivvy, or better yet, hammock? Down bag or hammock quilts.
Jesse, while I haven't packrafted per se, I have used my Scadden Escalade fishing IK for trips, including a 3 day hike/paddle/fishing trip into Ross Lake. My gear list was pretty small and fit into one medium dry bag. I took a Hennessey Hammock Ultralight and a light down bag for sleeping. Dehydrated food with a Ti stove, pot, and spork, a water filter straw and bottle made up the kitchen. I had the 10 essentials but kept it small and light. Clothing was also minimal and included one set of dry stuff for camp and one set of wet clothes for fishing and some stuff did double duty; for instance, my paddle jacket was also my camp rain jacket and I wore my felt-soled neoprene paddling booties for hiking and fishing. They weren't ideal for the 10 mile hike while creek fishing a tributary but when you are going light, you make sacrifices. My boat and paddling gear accounted for the vast majority of the load as for safety reasons, I don't skimp on boating gear no matter what. But my drybag of other gear was about 20 lbs including fishing stuff. If you have ultralight backpacking stuff, it shouldn't be too hard to get your bow weight down.

Is Mold in Your Home Making You Sick?
Mold spores are often associated with mild allergic reaction, but breathing indoor air dwelling with mold can create more dire consequences than the usual seasonal allergic reactions. Chronic disease, immune system dysfunction, neurological problems, and even death can result if house mold is taken too lightly.

Small Length Scale Studies of Fractional Quantum Hall States and their Potential Use in Topological Quantum Computation Physics and Astronomy |
Robert Willett, Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent 4:00 PM, Serin E385 At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, fractional quantum Hall states arise in high purity two dimensional electron systems due to electron correlation effects. The excitations of some of these states are purported to possess novel statistics that may allow their use as components for performing topological quantum computation operations. In this talk we will review the semiconductor heterostructures employed to achieve these correlated states and the properties of the various fractional quantum Hall quasiparticles. Necessary steps toward quantum computation include confinement of the correlated states and manipulation of the quasiparticles: our experimental efforts to achieve this confinement and manipulation will be discussed. |

Why would anyone want to cut down a beautiful young tree in an urban environment? To get the bicycle that was chained there.
I've had to cut and remove 3 oaks I planted in the 70's for sound reasons. All bothered me. When I moved here I had 17 pines which gave me the nightly whispers as the breeze activated their song. Lightning and hurricanes have thinned that to about 12 over the years. My neighborhood was called Whisperwood long before I located with the boughs. Since the trio of hurricanes in mid decade, well over a hundred pines are gone as residents feared their liabilities.

HIF-1, like the hormone estrogen, is a master regulatory transcription factor, meaning that it controls the expression of a vast number of genes representing various functions. HIF-1 is known to regulate 30 genes, but it may regulate as many as 100 genes, says Arbeit. The more scientists learn about the role of the genes in such molecular pathways the more opportunity they have for learning to manipulate them to treat disease.
A surgeon by training, Arbeit has seen the impact of both unwanted blood vessel growth, as in cancer, and oxygen-starved tissue, as in recalcitrant wounds.
I dont ascribe to the hope for a magic bullet for treating disease, he says, but targeting one molecule sitting at the head of an interlocking genetic network is a powerful therapeutic concept.

Haircut Styles for Fine Hair
By Heini Talip
Is your hair feeling flat and thin, and you don't know what to do about it? Fine hair needs volume and bounce to come alive, and there are ways to make that happen. With the right tips, even the thinnest hair can look thicker and fuller. Try these ideas and haircut styles for fine hair and make your tresses va-va-voom fabulous!
Don't over-layer fine hair because it will make it even more thinner. Stick with one-length cuts, like bobs, that are one of the best haircut styles for fine hair. The blunt lines will add an instant fullness to your look. If you have long hair and want to keep it that way, consider snipping away just a few inches. Long hair will weigh fine hair down and make it even flatter, so opt for styles that are no longer than past your shoulders. But, remember to keep your hair trimmed regularly. It's an easy way to keep your hair looking healthy and bouncy.
Make Friends With the Curler
Curling your hair will make it thicker and fuller looking. Loose and wavy curls are so chic now and will add extra oomph to your 'do. Finish off with some light hairspray, that will hold the look and keep your tresses naturally flowing. Try Aveeno Nourish + Style Fortifying Hairspray. This non-aerosol spray will give your hair needed volume and hold but is lightweight and flexible.
What About Bangs?
Bangs are not out of the question if you have fine hair. They can add some fullness to your style if done right. Keep your bangs heavy and chunky, or long and swept aside for the best look. Consider using a bit less conditioner on your bangs to keep them from being to heavy and sleek.
Do a Little Tease
When wearing your hair up, tease your hair a bit to get some volume going. Add some lift to your locks using a fine tooth comb and teasing the roots gently. For some root lift in a bottle, try Jason Kiwi and Apricot Volumizing Root Boost Spray. This vegan hairspray creates natural texture and adds bounce to fine hair.

92_SB1664 LRB9212601WHcs 1 AN ACT concerning mental health and developmental 2 disabilities. 3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 4 represented in the General Assembly: 5 Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental 6 Disabilities Confidentiality Act is amended by changing 7 Section 10 as follows: 8 (740 ILCS 110/10) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 810) 9 Sec. 10. (a) Except as provided herein, in any civil, 10 criminal, administrative, or legislative proceeding, or in 11 any proceeding preliminary thereto, a recipient, and a 12 therapist on behalf and in the interest of a recipient, has 13 the privilege to refuse to disclose and to prevent the 14 disclosure of the recipient's record or communications. 15 (1) Records and communications may be disclosed in 16 a civil, criminal or administrative proceeding in which 17 the recipient introduces his mental condition or any 18 aspect of his services received for such condition as an 19 element of his claim or defense, if and only to the 20 extent the court in which the proceedings have been 21 brought, or, in the case of an administrative proceeding, 22 the court to which an appeal or other action for review 23 of an administrative determination may be taken, finds, 24 after in camera examination of testimony or other 25 evidence, that it is relevant, probative, not unduly 26 prejudicial or inflammatory, and otherwise clearly 27 admissible; that other satisfactory evidence is 28 demonstrably unsatisfactory as evidence of the facts 29 sought to be established by such evidence; and that 30 disclosure is more important to the interests of 31 substantial justice than protection from injury to the -2- LRB9212601WHcs 1 therapist-recipient relationship or to the recipient or 2 other whom disclosure is likely to harm. Except in a 3 criminal proceeding in which the recipient, who is 4 accused in that proceeding, raises the defense of 5 insanity, no record or communication between a therapist 6 and a recipient shall be deemed relevant for purposes of 7 this subsection, except the fact of treatment, the cost 8 of services and the ultimate diagnosis unless the party 9 seeking disclosure of the communication clearly 10 establishes in the trial court a compelling need for its 11 production. However, for purposes of this Act, in any 12 action brought or defended under the Illinois Marriage 13 and Dissolution of Marriage Act, or in any action in 14 which pain and suffering is an element of the claim, 15 mental condition shall not be deemed to be introduced 16 merely by making such claim and shall be deemed to be 17 introduced only if the recipient or a witness on his 18 behalf first testifies concerning the record or 19 communication. 20 (2) Records or communications may be disclosed in a 21 civil proceeding after the recipient's death when the 22 recipient's physical or mental condition has been 23 introduced as an element of a claim or defense by any 24 party claiming or defending through or as a beneficiary 25 of the recipient, provided the court finds, after in 26 camera examination of the evidence, that it is relevant, 27 probative, and otherwise clearly admissible; that other 28 satisfactory evidence is not available regarding the 29 facts sought to be established by such evidence; and that 30 disclosure is more important to the interests of 31 substantial justice than protection from any injury which 32 disclosure is likely to cause. 33 (3) In the event of a claim made or an action filed 34 by a recipient, or, following the recipient's death, by -3- LRB9212601WHcs 1 any party claiming as a beneficiary of the recipient for 2 injury caused in the course of providing services to such 3 recipient, the therapist and other persons whose actions 4 are alleged to have been the cause of injury may disclose 5 pertinent records and communications to an attorney or 6 attorneys engaged to render advice about and to provide 7 representation in connection with such matter and to 8 persons working under the supervision of such attorney or 9 attorneys, and may testify as to such records or 10 communication in any administrative, judicial or 11 discovery proceeding for the purpose of preparing and 12 presenting a defense against such claim or action. 13 (4) Records and communications made to or by a 14 therapist in the course of examination ordered by a court 15 for good cause shown may, if otherwise relevant and 16 admissible, be disclosed in a civil, criminal, or 17 administrative proceeding in which the recipient is a 18 party or in appropriate pretrial proceedings, provided 19 such court has found that the recipient has been as 20 adequately and as effectively as possible informed before 21 submitting to such examination that such records and 22 communications would not be considered confidential or 23 privileged. Such records and communications shall be 24 admissible only as to issues involving the recipient's 25 physical or mental condition and only to the extent that 26 these are germane to such proceedings. 27 (5) Records and communications may be disclosed in 28 a proceeding under the Probate Act of 1975, to determine 29 a recipient's competency or need for guardianship, 30 provided that the disclosure is made only with respect to 31 that issue. 32 (6) Records and communications may be disclosed 33 when such are made during treatment which the recipient 34 is ordered to undergo to render him fit to stand trial on -4- LRB9212601WHcs 1 a criminal charge, provided that the disclosure is made 2 only with respect to the issue of fitness to stand trial. 3 (7) Records and communications of the recipient may 4 be disclosed in any civil or administrative proceeding 5 involving the validity of or benefits under a life, 6 accident, health or disability insurance policy or 7 certificate, or Health Care Service Plan Contract, 8 insuring the recipient, but only if and to the extent 9 that the recipient's mental condition, or treatment or 10 services in connection therewith, is a material element 11 of any claim or defense of any party, provided that 12 information sought or disclosed shall not be redisclosed 13 except in connection with the proceeding in which 14 disclosure is made. 15 (8) Records or communications may be disclosed when 16 such are relevant to a matter in issue in any action 17 brought under this Act and proceedings preliminary 18 thereto, provided that any information so disclosed shall 19 not be utilized for any other purpose nor be redisclosed 20 except in connection with such action or preliminary 21 proceedings. 22 (9) Records and communications of the recipient may 23 be disclosed in investigations of and trials for homicide 24 when the disclosure relates directly to the fact or 25 immediate circumstances of the homicide. 26 (10) Records and communications of a deceased 27 recipient may be disclosed to a coroner conducting a 28 preliminary investigation into the recipient's death 29 under Section 3-3013 of the Counties Code. However, 30 records and communications of the deceased recipient 31 disclosed in an investigation shall be limited solely to 32 the deceased recipient's records and communications 33 relating to the factual circumstances of the incident 34 being investigated in a mental health facility. -5- LRB9212601WHcs 1 (11) Records and communications of a recipient 2 shall be disclosed in a proceeding where a petition or 3 motion is filed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and 4 the recipient is named as a parent, guardian, or legal 5 custodian of a minor who is the subject of a petition for 6 wardship as described in Section 2-3 of that Act or a 7 minor who is the subject of a petition for wardship as 8 described in Section 2-4 of that Act alleging the minor 9 is abused, neglected, or dependent or the recipient is 10 named as a parent of a child who is the subject of a 11 petition, supplemental petition, or motion to appoint a 12 guardian with the power to consent to adoption under 13 Section 2-29 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. 14 (12) Records and communications of a recipient may 15 be disclosed when disclosure is necessary to collect sums 16 or receive third party payment representing charges for 17 mental health or developmental disabilities services 18 provided by a therapist or agency to a recipient; 19 however, disclosure shall be limited to information 20 needed to pursue collection, and the information so 21 disclosed may not be used for any other purposes nor may 22 it be redisclosed except in connection with collection 23 activities. 24 (b) Before a disclosure is made under subsection (a), 25 any party to the proceeding or any other interested person 26 may request an in camera review of the record or 27 communications to be disclosed. The court or agency 28 conducting the proceeding may hold an in camera review on its 29 own motion. When, contrary to the express wish of the 30 recipient, the therapist asserts a privilege on behalf and in 31 the interest of a recipient, the court may require that the 32 therapist, in an in camera hearing, establish that disclosure 33 is not in the best interest of the recipient. The court or 34 agency may prevent disclosure or limit disclosure to the -6- LRB9212601WHcs 1 extent that other admissible evidence is sufficient to 2 establish the facts in issue. The court or agency may enter 3 such orders as may be necessary in order to protect the 4 confidentiality, privacy, and safety of the recipient or of 5 other persons. Any order to disclose or to not disclose 6 shall be considered a final order for purposes of appeal and 7 shall be subject to interlocutory appeal. 8 (c) A recipient's records and communications may be 9 disclosed to a duly authorized committee, commission or 10 subcommittee of the General Assembly which possesses subpoena 11 and hearing powers, upon a written request approved by a 12 majority vote of the committee, commission or subcommittee 13 members. The committee, commission or subcommittee may 14 request records only for the purposes of investigating or 15 studying possible violations of recipient rights. The 16 request shall state the purpose for which disclosure is 17 sought. 18 The facility shall notify the recipient, or his guardian, 19 and therapist in writing of any disclosure request under this 20 subsection within 5 business days after such request. Such 21 notification shall also inform the recipient, or guardian, 22 and therapist of their right to object to the disclosure 23 within 10 business days after receipt of the notification and 24 shall include the name, address and telephone number of the 25 committee, commission or subcommittee member or staff person 26 with whom an objection shall be filed. If no objection has 27 been filed within 15 business days after the request for 28 disclosure, the facility shall disclose the records and 29 communications to the committee, commission or subcommittee. 30 If an objection has been filed within 15 business days after 31 the request for disclosure, the facility shall disclose the 32 records and communications only after the committee, 33 commission or subcommittee has permitted the recipient, 34 guardian or therapist to present his objection in person -7- LRB9212601WHcs 1 before it and has renewed its request for disclosure by a 2 majority vote of its members. 3 Disclosure under this subsection shall not occur until 4 all personally identifiable data of the recipient and 5 provider are removed from the records and communications. 6 Disclosure under this subsection shall not occur in any 7 public proceeding. 8 (d) No party to any proceeding described under 9 paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (7), or (8) of subsection (a) 10 of this Section, nor his or her attorney, shall serve a 11 subpoena seeking to obtain access to records or 12 communications under this Act unless the subpoena is 13 accompanied by a written order issued by a judge, authorizing 14 the disclosure of the records or the issuance of the 15 subpoena. No person shall comply with a subpoena for records 16 or communications under this Act, unless the subpoena is 17 accompanied by a written order authorizing the issuance of 18 the subpoena or the disclosure of the records. 19 (e) When a person has been transported by a peace 20 officer to a mental health facility, then upon the request of 21 a peace officer, if the person is allowed to leave the mental 22 health facility within 48 hours of arrival, excluding 23 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the facility director shall 24 notify the local law enforcement authority prior to the 25 release of the person. The local law enforcement authority 26 may re-disclose the information as necessary to alert the 27 appropriate enforcement or prosecuting authority. 28 (f) A recipient's records and communications shall be 29 disclosed to the Inspector General of the Department of Human 30 Services within 10 business days of a request by the 31 Inspector General in the course of an investigation 32 authorized by the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care 33 Facility Residents Reporting Act and applicable rule.

Russian flag carrier Aeroflot is testing a new aviation security system that uses video cameras, X-ray machines and metal detectors.
"The system includes a number of goal-oriented programs and comprises a set of measures, beginning from entry to the airways terminal to boarding an aircraft," deputy head of Aeroflot's aviation security service Azat Zaripov, in an interview with Echo Radio in Moscow.
The system even uses psychologists to profile passengers. "On the whole, the company runs 100-percent checks on everything which comes on board while using technical means operating on different principles," Zaripov said.
Aeroflot is also putting armed security agents on board some flights, he said.
Last year, Zaripov told Echo Radio, there were 126 security incidents on Aeroflot flights. In eleven cases, the "trouble-makers" were refused a return flight and entered into a database as potentially dangerous.

Work/Life Conflict: Perception Doesn't Reflect Reality
There's new research showing that managers believe women experience more work/life conflict than men. Women employees in the study actually reported less conflict. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and appearing in the Academy of Management Journal, says the belief is held by men and women managers alike, who then see the women as less worthy of promotion.
Women who know about this misperception may think twice about using company-sponsored work/life balance programs like telecommuting—and rightly so. "As long as managers buy into that stereotype, women who take advantage of programs like on-site child care or flextime or paid time-off for parenting are only undermining their prospects for advancement in their companies," says Professor Jenny M. Hoobler, one of the authors of the study. "What we're talking about here, I expect, is one of the subtle, entrenched forms of discrimination that make up the glass ceiling."
