Fla. county looking to use nurses to help with 911 call volume
The Pinellas County dispatch center is considering patching minor emergency calls to nurse practitioners
By EMS1 Staff
PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida county is considering alleviating the high 911 call volume by utilizing nurses for minor emergency calls.
ABC Action News reported that Pinellas County may soon start patching non-emergency calls to skilled nurse practitioners to decrease the strain of 790,000 calls per year on dispatchers.
Officials said that now instead of only dispatching calls to fire, EMS or police, dispatchers could use nurses as another option.
"My cat is in a tree, I lost my child, I have a rash on my arm. We get a wide range of calls. Even if these nurses can take 500 or a couple thousand calls off of our hands, that could really help us," Pinellas County public safety director Jim Forgarty said.
Forgarty said the county eventually plans to contract with a company to provide the service.

During the first round of the 2017 World Championship, the fifteen group D matches will be played in Paris' AccorHotels Arena, from 13 to 20 January. Six nations will fight for the four qualifiying spots for the eighth-finals.
Group D's clear frontrunner is Denmark, Olympic Champion in Rio in August 2016. Led by superstar Mikkel Hansen, World Player of the Year 2015 and MVP of the Olympic tournament, the Danish team has some serious arguments to put forward. Among the expected big men, goalkeeper Niklas Landin, right winger Lasse Svan Hansen, centre back Morten Olsen, line player Rene Toft Hansen and defense specialist Henrik Mollgaard.
Qatar and Sweden with renewed rosters
Behind Denmark, group D seems pretty open. With a noticeably different roster from the one that reached the 2015 World Championship final at home, Qatar appears to be a bit less strong than two years ago. But last edition's runner-up will be able to rely on some safe bets, such as left back Rafael Capote and goalkeeper Danijel Saric.
For its part, Sweden presents a rejuvenated, but very talented, team. Right winger Nicas Ekberg and goalkeepers Mikael Appelgren and Andreas Palicka will be some very valuable assets to reach the eighth-finals, along with Johan Jakobsson, who was chosen as the best right back of the 2016 European Championship in Poland.
Ambitious underdogs
After playing well at the Olympics, despite being eliminated in the first round, during which they beat Sweden (26-25), Egypt hopes to progress beyond the grooup phase this time. The Egyptian big men will surely be right winger Mohamed Sanad, centre back Mohamed El-Bassiouny, and above all right back Ahmed El Ahmar, star of the team, who was the flag bearer of the Egyptian Olympic team during the Rio 2016 opening ceremony.
Buoyed by the return of their playmaker Diego Simonet, who was injured for several months, Argentina travels to France with lofty ambitions. Head coach Eduardo Gallardo even claimed that his team was aiming a spot in the quarter finals. To achieve this goal, the « Gladiatores » will therefore very much count on centre back Diego Simonet, but also on his two brothers, left back Pablo and other centre back Sebastian.
Lastly, Bahrain seems to be the least well-equipped side of group D. After losing to Qatar at the 2016 Asian Championship, goalkeeper Mohames A. Hussain and his teammates will nevertheless try to make use of their collective stength to grab Bahrain's first win ever in a World Championship.
Group D complete schedule :
Qatar – Egypt (January 13th, 14h)
Sweden – Bahrain (January 13th, 17h45)
Denmark – Argentina (January 13th, 20h45)
Egypt – Denmark (January 14th, 20h45)
Argentina – Sweden (January 15th, 14h45)
Bahrain – Qatar (January 15th, 17h45)

Qatar – Argentina (January 17th, 17h45)
Argentina – Egypt (January 18th, 14h)
Denmark – Bahrain (January 18th, 17h45)
Sweden – Qatar (January 18th, 20h45)
Bahrain – Argentina (January 20th, 14h)

We took the child on a river boat, and to the Tate gallery to see the Blakes. He pointed to "Ghost of a Flea" and shouted.From there we wandered through Battersea park and finally to the white stone church where Blake was married. On a path outside the church the child stamped and scuffed his feet on the gravel to make a noise. "This is a cycle path" mumbled a middle-aged man on a bike with muffled rage.
The English in fact hate children. You only have to travel to Greece or Italy or Spain, where the baby or toddler in a restaurant or other public place is the star of the show, a VIP, an entertainer applauded and feted by all. You only have to witness the delight of the waiters and shop workers, suddenly lit up and animated by the prodigal presence of the child, and who always meet the baby half way, as it were, and become babies themselves, to realise that, by contrast the English resent and are embarrassed by children and wish them invisible, inaudible or unconscious. Of course, their hatred wears the mask of concern, or the muzzle of concern, as in "that baby should be asleep!," or "They shouldn't be letting it behave like that.." and so on. They "blame the parents" and can be heard sniping at the parents from adjoining tables, barely audible of course, for most of their cancerous bile is directed inward, to their own organs, where, with other monsters, it festers and mutates. They cannot admit to themselves they hate children, for that would amount to confessing that they hate life. But this is exactly what the English do hate. The vitality and exuberance of the baby, or the wobbling toddler, circling in gleeful triumph around the listless ironic adults, shrieking and laughing, screeching and crying, are the stream and bubble of life in its pure state. The shriek of a toddler is an arrow of pure life fired directly between the torpid eyes of those who long ago sent the child they once were to rot in exile.
Genius is the voluntary reclamation of childhood, Rimbaud says, by which he means not the memory of childhood, a la Proust, but the plastic powers of childhood to perceive, play and create. If we can retain these powers, invoke and use them, then we are geniuses. A genius sees the world differently and walks roughshod over the established symbolic parameters, which is also what the child does. The small child spends much of its time in a state of sweet delight, as Blake knew. It notices that a piece of wood makes pleasant sounds when hit against a wall or a cupboard; a tennis ball is better employed knocking over a glass; a small drawer's contents can be scattered over a large area; doors are for slamming, and a switch makes a pleasant click which can also plunge the world in darkness or call up from nowhere a small room which adults call a "lift." Each day there are Olympian leaps of the understanding, jubilant discoveries, new creations and ecstatic destructions. What a life to live, this exponential and daily increase in the body's powers, the collapse of familiar boundaries, and, even within the wall of house and garden, an ever-expanding universe...
All of this, for the English, is to be extirpated, re-programmed and subject to regimentation. Children in all their fabulous innocence are labelled miscreants from the start. They are naughty or possessed or hateful. Original sin is simply the sin attributed to children by adults, the labels and symbols used to defame the exuberance of the child, which properly understood and heard would corrode their Englishness as salt dissolves a slug. For it is not unfair to say that Englishness is, point by point, the antithesis of childhood. Everything that the child incarnates, in the way of joy, unstopped desire and piping glee, is then drained away by the cultural apparatus of Englishness, and replaced with repression, glumness, irony and resignation. The laughter of a child and that of an Englishperson are completely different, if not the exact reverse of each other: the one affirms and spills over, the other denies and drains.

Great Bear Writing Project
About GBWP
All teachers are writers. We write all the time. We write lesson plans, incident reports, and journal entries. Furthermore, all teachers also teach writing, composing, problem solving, or creating. The purpose of the Great Bear Writing Project is to honor teachers as writers and to develop and deliver professional development. This helps teachers develop themselves as writers and to learn to develop their students as writers.
Invitational Summer Institute
The Invitational Summer Institute is the core of our professional development offerings. We offer, as funding allows, a free institute each summer for K-16 teachers. Teacher Consultants (former participants) bring lessons that incorporate writing from their classrooms for us. We participate as students, picking up our pens and following along. At the end of the institute, each participant develops their own lesson (with lots of help from veteran Teacher Consultants) and teaches the other participants.
In addition to teaching, we also write every day. Each participant gets the chance to read their work and share with other participants for positive feedback. We do a lot of writing at our Summer Institute, but teachers don't have to be a great writer to join. We are all on a journey of becoming better writers, and we welcome all teachers, wherever they are on their journey.
Each cohort of GBWP works collaboratively on research and writing projects, which builds community within the group. We all read a writing book and a teaching book and share our insights with one another.

If we are to take its title as an indication of intention, John Krokidas' new film Kill Your Darlings is a resounding success. With great alacrity, the film succeeds in eviscerating anything about its subjects that might make for attractive screen stuff, and in its place delivers a glossy, unconvincing argument that the best minds of another generation were actually well-fed, sane and dressed to the nines.
Daniel Radcliffe plays Allen Ginsberg, a mythical creature apparently brought to life by the twin forces of utter insanity and formal rigor. Jennifer Jason Leigh and David Cross as Ginsberg's parents oppositely undermine the film's illusory neatness and biopic convenience by being awesomely brilliant and heinously awful, respectively. Leigh's bold decision to actually appear, in fact, to be alive clues us into the movie that someone, somewhere should have been trying to make with this material. Instead we get moments like the jokey conversation about assonance and meter between Allen and his father, which seamlessly transitions into the proto-poet learning of his Columbia acceptance. For a moment it seems that the expected, remarkably bland pacing and visual texture might be part of a thoughtful choice to contrast Ginsberg's early life with what he is about to experience in New York. This is not what happens. Things fall apart. Which is to say, they don't.
Never have I felt the commercialization of American independent cinema and its pernicious reliance on quirked up Hollywood convention more obviously destroying the potential of a central conceit than I did while watching Kill Your Darlings. It has about as much formal ingenuity as The Help and Ray with none of the fun or feeling of either. This should be a more literary, less poppy version of Todd Haynes' multifaceted and fragmented Bob Dylan film, I'm Not There, shouldn't it? After all, Haynes' subject is a successful song and dance man, closer to Elvis than the nonconformist, truly radical men of letters of Kill Your Darlings. But this is of no significance to Krokidas, who earnestly proceeds with one plodding beat after another. Ginsberg arrives at Columbia and shortly meets Lucien Carr, a very weak Dane DeHaan. Carr is an inspiring figure, one with big ideas; he's the kind of guy who jumps on library tables and quotes Henry Miller. I can only be sure of this because, in his first scene, he shares a big idea, then jumps on a table and quotes Henry Miller. Character establishment. Check. And the movie never for a moment abandons this habit of screenwriting a la Trader Joe's shopper.
Soon comes the introduction of William Burroughs, a shockingly forgettable Ben Foster, and Jack Kerouac, Jack Huston delivering a performance that wouldn't be out of place in Beats!: The Musical. There might be something to the idea that the nascent stages of this movement merely consisted of a lot of kids playing dress-up, but the lightweights on show in Kill Your Darlings are completely devoid of promise. They are mouthpieces for concepts that feel tired; today's undergrad bullshit is meaninglessly paraded across the screen, left flaccid by the film's boring, uninspired syntax. The screenplay trades in innovation for the assumption that there is a minimum number of Yeats allusions required for a piece of writing to be literary. Furthermore, the film's hollow pretension would not be such a critical issue if the actual Beats hadn't had legitimately radical ideas, ideas so epoch-changing that, hearing them now, they seem natural if not obvious. But how can we feel revolution when every interaction seems so hackneyed?
It all feels fake: the sets, the earnestness, the musical choices, all flap around like falcons in need of a falconer. The introduction of Michael C. Hall as Carr's older, now spurned, soon to be murdered lover only brings us farther afield from the actually interesting story. The sad truth is that it is unlikely that anyone would participate in, let alone finance, a first time director's take on these characters if the film's subject wasn't a luridly exceptional incident. An exploration of the work of the New Vision Kill Your Darlings is not, but how could it be? As the specific market share of a given independent film gets smaller and smaller it becomes harder and harder for anyone unproven to strike out on a new, risky, meaningful and fairly expensive path. Dead in every conceivable way, Kill Your Darlings alerts us to the fact that actually trying to look and sound like fierce independence means you're doing it wrong.

Although the food is usually plentiful and delicious, you should be aware that the menu is not normally extensive. Most of the teahouses offer a variety of rice and noodle dishes, as well as soup and seasonal vegetables. In general, a variety of cereals, bread and egg dishes are offered for breakfast. Plenty of snacks such as biscuits, chocolate and soft drinks, and locally grown fresh fruits are available in some places. You can bottle mineral water from local teahouse or you can also ask your guide to fill your water bottle with boiled water and treat with water purification pills.
Daily feature of Teahouse Trekking: Normally you will be woken at around 6:30 – 7:00AM with a cup up "Good Morning" tea brought to your room. Before breakfast you pack your gear into your kit bag which is then taken by the porters. Having had breakfast we usually on the trail between 7.00AM - 7.30AM. Following a good morning's few hours walking before lunch around 11.00 - 12.00 PM, at any of the tea houses or other lodges along the trail. We have an hour lunch break to allow for the trekker's. After lunch, our assistant guide will go ahead and reserve the lodge en-route for over night stop. The afternoon walk is generally a little shorter and we usually reached by around 3PM to 4PM. When you reached at the lodge, everything will be ready. Until dinner there is time to rest, explore the surrounding area and villages or sit and chat with the crew and local people. The dinner is usually served around 7:00 PM to 7:30PM. In the evening afford some of the best memories of your trek, whether it is talking, playing cards, chatting with the crew or joining in some singing and dancing with your trekking crews or with the local people, its always a special time till around 9PM then the time to sleep.
Staffs: For most trips is accompanied by one of our local group leaders, one assistant guide will provide above 6 trekkers. This arrangement ensures that should anybody in the group fall sick, the trip can still go ahead as planned. Our local leader prides themselves on a thorough knowledge of the mountains, the people and villagers who live there, the flora, the fauna, and historical, cultural, religious and social aspects of the region in which you will be travelling.
Believing that the porters are important and impossible to complete the trip so besides your leader and guide the trek will be accompanied by one porter or pack animal for every two people. We do not allow porters to carry exceeding 25 kgs in tea-house and 30kgs weight during the camping treks. It is because of human being respect, their rights and against any exploitation on its operation. We provide good health insurance, good equipments, working training and of course good pay with lots of encouragements.

Walking fast at such elevation could lead to medical complications (Acute Mountain Sickness) which could be serious. There is less oxygen compared to sea level in high-altitudes places. The higher, altitude will be the less oxygen in air. Your body needs a days to acclimatize to this environment, which is why we will stop a day rest in trails-head destination.

Stacey defeats DePalma in East Haven
EAST HAVEN >> High school teacher Jack Stacey edged retired police sergeant Gary DePalma by 130 votes in Tuesday's Democratic mayoral primary, earning the party's nomination to take on incumbent Republican Joseph Maturo Jr. in November. "I knew we were just going to have to be honest to ourselves and the people of East Haven," Stacey said. "We did everything that we needed to be done to win this."
Stacey, who had been endorsed by the Democratic Town Committee, won 969 votes to DePalma's 839.
DePalmavisited Stacey's campaign headquarters just before 8:30 p.m. — two hours before the town clerk's office released a final tally — to concede defeat.Stacey called his opponent a "true gentleman."
"Like I said, I'm a Democrat and I'll be fighting for Jack to win the mayor's seat," DePalma said after his concession.
DePalma then promptly handed Stacey's campaign a $50 campaign donation.
Former Democratic Mayor April Capone also came out to support Stacey.
"We're excited as we should be but we all know that this was just the beginning," she said. "We'll give you a few hours off but tomorrow starts the big push."
Minutes after DePalma walked across the street from his Main Street campaign office to concede to Stacey, Maturo issued a news release questioning Stacey's capabilities, referring to him as a "challenger who, with only 55 days until Election Day, has failed to demonstrate any understanding of the key issues facing our community including taxes, municipal finances or education."
Maturo did congratulate Stacey on his victory. Democratic Town Committee Chairman Gene Ruocco said he "knew from the beginning what a great candidate Jack would be" and added that "negative campaigning never wins."
After his victory speech, Stacey acknowledged that he still has more work ahead of him and more Democrats to woo.
"Gary made us realize there are still questions out there that we need to answer and people we need to reach," he said. "Sometimes you need a tough competitor to push you harder and make you better.
"He pushed us to the brink."
Ruocco added that to beat Maturo "we're going to need every registered Democrat in this town."
They'll also need a better Democratic showing at the polls.
Out of the town's roughly 8,500 registered Democrats, only 1,808 voted Tuesday, a 21 percent participation rate. The last time East Haven held a primary it was 1997 and it also involved Democrats. Out of 8,068 registered Democrats approximately 1,741 voted, resulting in a 22 percent turnout.
The underticket of Town Council, Board of Education and Board of Finance candidates running exclusively under DePalma and Stacey also engaged in several close races.
The two slates formed in July, when 25 candidates that had previously been endorsed by the party walked out of the nominating caucus in support of DePalma after Stacey had secured the nomination.
For Town Council each party submits 15 candidates, spread out evenly across the five districts. Both Stacey and DePalma had full Town Council slates. In two districts there will be recounts, according to Republican Registrar of Voters Donna Norman.
In District 1, Stacey supporters Joseph Civitello, Cathy Fleurant and Daniel Gleason claimed the top three positions. District 2 saw DePalma supporters Joseph Santino and Beverly Gravino, along with Stacey backer Nicholas Palladino, finish in the top three.
There will be a recount in District 3 as Jo-Ann Lubenau, who ran on Stacey's slate, and DePalma supporter Kevin Dacey tied for third with 138 votes. The top two vote-getters were DePalma supporters Paul Thompson Jr. with 157 and Paul Cofrancesco with 146.
There will also be a recount in District 4. While incumbents Joseph Badamo and Michael Riolino, both Stacey supporters, finished at the top there was a tie for the remaining slot as Letizia Morales, a Stacey supporter, finished deadlocked with DePalma supporter Ed Kamienski at 176 votes.
The 5th District wound up being a clean sweep for DePalma's slate as newcomers Henry Butler, Michael D'Errico and John Kikosicki finished in the top three.
"If there are still ties after the recount I guess we'll have to flip a coin," Norman joked. "I'll have to check the rules but off the top of my head that's the only solution I can think of."
According to the Town Charter whenever any election results in a tie "an adjourned election shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 149 of the General Statutes," deferring to state law.
State law mandates that in a tie situation "such election shall stand adjourned for three weeks at the same hour at which the first election was held."
"Ballot labels shall contain only the names of the candidates for whom the same are to be voted, and the election shall be conducted in the same manner as on the first day, except that the votes shall be cast for such officer only."
The Town Charter also states that each party can nominate four candidates to the Board of Finance. The top four Board of Finance voter-getters Tuesday included Stacey supporters Maria Tonelli, incumbent Noreen Clough and Brendan Geelan. DePalma supporter, brother and incumbent Richard DePalma, claimed the fourth slot.
For Board of Education the top six vote-getters in Tuesday's primary will run in November. In a surprise upset, incumbent and DePalma supporter Christine Maisano finished seventh with 745 votes. The sixth-place finisher, DePalma supporter and incumbent Tia DePalma, narrowly won a slot in November's election by garnering 751 votes.
Rounding out the top five were Stacey supporters Rebecca Pastor with 762 votes, Laura Kluth with 799 votes, Louis Pacelli with 823 votes and Maryann Pelligrino with 847 votes, as DePalma supporter and incumbent Marilyn Vitale checked in at third with 801 votes.
Stacey said he'd vow to "get together and work together as a team with Gary's supporters to win in November."Call Evan Lips at 203-789-5727.

Fortunately, the breed ring is finished for the time being, because with agility and obedience, there are not enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished (not to mention work and family!). Kazee finished his breed Championship on January 28th and, while he may play as a special once and awhile, he is not competitive right now against the mature dogs. So, we have been concentrating on the fun stuff.
I say "fun stuff", but sometimes it is not fun at all. Challenging, yes. Complicated, yes. Fun, not always!! Kazee is so different than my last two dogs, I feel like I have started several things over multiple times…probably because I have. The old adage of "throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks" definitely applies some days. This is primarily true for articles and go-outs. If you have followed along, you have seen our struggles with articles. I started scent work with the Scent-a-whirl, but the barking was over the top. I then switched to the Around the Clock method. This method worked wonderfully for awhile and Kazee was doing multiple finds with a complete pile. Then, one day, it broke. Kazee started snatching and grabbing, without sniffing at all. After a few days of this, I went BACK to the scent-a-whirl. Kazee clearly understood the sniffing requirement and was (without fail) only picking the correct article out of the 4 uncovered bins. But, while the barking had been fixed on this particular tool, Kazee does not like putting his head in the bin. I was not about to fight this and add more pressure to the exercise, so I bit the bullet and went to a tie down board. Honestly, I have never used a tie down board before with any of my three dogs. The German Shepherds just understood the exercise after it was explained to them and Gunner never needed it after doing the ATC method.
Kazee has been on the tie down board for about week at home. I decided to take the board to the dog club this morning to see how he did. Because I was working articles in a new location, I left only two articles on the board to make it easier. I was happy with his effort. So, until THIS method breaks, we will be using the tie down board. 🙂
I mentioned Kazee's barking earlier. I finally decided to give MYSELF a kick in the butt and start to get this under control. Kazee is not very easily offended, so the method which seems to be working is a muzzle hold and/or putting him on the ground in a down position for a few seconds. Low growling is allowed on the tug toy right now, as I do not know if this will ever be silenced. Kazee is an extremely vocal dog and he needs some method of release. Barking completely depends on the dog and, given the fact that I have never had a barker before, I let this go on way too long. Honestly, if Gunner gives me an occasional bark in the obedience ring, I love it, as it means he is having fun. And, Zita, well I got after her once for barking as a young dog and I could never get her to bark again.
Our other problem area is go-outs. He loves to mark to his tug toy, but has a tendency to go deaf to everything else when his tug toy is involved. So, while I'm still using his tug for some marking work, I have gone back to his placemat for go outs. When going back over my notes and video, I was previously releasing Kazee off of his mat to be rewarded. Big no-no, as all rewards need to happen on the mat. So, for right now, I've gone to food rewards on his go-out spot. There are not many treats Kazee will eat (not your typical Springer!), but he loves homemade tuna fish treats. He could have picked something that makes my house smell a little better. Oh, and he loves bacon. That makes the kitchen smell good, but then I end up eating half of it! So, I make myself bake the tuna treats. 😦
On a bright note, heeling is coming along beautifully and Kazee LOVES agility. I have never done agility before, so I am trying to keep myself in foundation classes and pick Kazee's breeder's brain whenever possible.
For those of you who enjoy watching training videos, I took several of Kazee today and one of Gunner as well. The National Obedience Championship is in three weeks and Gunner has been working very hard on our problem areas. I have never had the opportunity to show Gunner at an NOI/NOC before because of logistics, so we are excited to compete. I am not worried about running clean, but I want good positive work from my wonderful boy, so everyone can see how well an English Springer can work in the ring.
Kazee – Agility work from today, over a couple of different sessions. Weave poles – almost closed, with guide wires. Dog walk and A-frame with his target box. Teeter – which is still very new to him.
Kazee – First obedience session with him of the morning, while Gunner does a sit-stay in the ring.
Kazee – Articles on his tie-down board and dumbbell retrieves
Kazee – go-outs to his placemat
Gunner – working on problem areas of dumbbell pickups and fast finishes, also some heeling work and signals. It always feels "easy" when I train Gunner after working Kazee…maybe it is just because I do not have to think as hard. 🙂
Kazee and I are in no hurry to get into any type of ring, especially obedience. There is still a lot of work to be done on impulse control before even going to a formal match. And, I like to train completely through Utility before entering Novice any way. And, with my started skills over again every other week, it may be awhile!
I am also starting to accumulate agility equipment and now have a teeter base on order as well. My husband is not especially thrilled with my new yard ornaments (he thought the obedience stuff in the garage was bad!), but a happy wife is a happy life!!!
Until next time….train hard and play harder!!

How to Handle Condo Association Members Who Constantly Harass a Good Board
Buying a condominium unit automatically places the owner into a homeowners association with an elected board of directors that conducts the association's business. In California, condominium developments are governed by the Davis-Stirling Act. Condo board meetings are open to all unit owners and owners are allowed to speak, but even a well-run board can find itself harassed by disgruntled association members.
Free Speech
The constitutional right to free speech often is misunderstood as applying to all speech, anywhere, but rights to free speech aren't unlimited. The First Amendment deals with government limits to free speech, but it doesn't apply to private organizations like condominium associations. The California Constitution allows that "Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right," but the California Supreme Court upheld that these restrictions apply to the state, not to private organizations.
Association Rights
A homeowners association board of directors is obligated to listen to the concerns of unit owners and to be patient, but it doesn't have to endure personal attacks, abusive language or threats from bullies who claim to be protected by the First Amendment. The board has a responsibility to prevent individuals from interrupting the conduct of a meeting. While unit owners have the right to complain about problems, the board should develop bylaws that prohibit certain forms of speech including threats of violence, profanity, obscenity, confrontational words, defamation or slander, and other types of harassment. Each meeting agenda should include language requiring that "Attendees may not engage in obscene gestures, shouting, profanity or other disruptive behavior. If attendees become disruptive, they may be expelled from the meeting and fined."
Deal with Harassers
Recording board meetings and broadcasting them to members could embarrass chronic malcontents into behaving better. Boards have the authority to record their meetings, but individual owners are generally not permitted to do so. A harasser can also be subject to fines and suspension of privileges as established in the condo rules, subject to due process.
Remove Offenders
Once a homeowners association board has rules and penalties for disruptive behavior in place, and the rules allow removal, the board can eject a persistent offender from a meeting. If the offender refuses to leave on request, board members must avoid physical contact and may have to call police. The board also could adjourn the meeting or call a recess and move elsewhere, generally to a member's unit. Boards of directors are considered "protected employees," and in drastic situations, the association can go to court for an order of protection for any member who has been the subject of threats of violence. Such a restraining order can prohibit the individual from further threats. Violations can subject the offender to arrest and criminal charges.

One of the pieces of advice I most overlooked during my pregnancy is the importance of getting lots of prenatal exercise. In my first trimester, simply getting out of bed each morning was like a workout with the kind of fatigue I experienced, but a little physical activity went a long way. Here are some great examples of prenatal exercise that worked for me.
Prenatal Yoga
Prenatal yoga is one of the more popular ways to get some exercise while expecting. There are classes given at most yoga studios and some YMCAs, but I preferred to workout alone (and save some money), so I rented some videos to work through at home. I'll be honest: it seemed a bit lackluster during my first few weeks of pregnancy, but I really began to see the benefits toward the end of my third trimester. Yoga is a form of prenatal exercise that encourages relaxation, stretching of the muscles, and breathing techniques that are sure to help when it comes time to deliver that little bundle of joy, and I needed all the help I could get!
Walking was another easy way to incorporate some exercise into my pregnancy. This was also a great way for my husband to get involved and work out with me. I was told that early in the pregnancy, walking could be used to keep blood pressure low and to keep me healthy. Once full-term, walking could be used to bring on or encourage active labor. I was a big fan of walking the neighborhood during my pregnancy. It helped to take my mind off of things and made me feel as though I was actively doing something to keep my baby healthy.
Kegels, in my opinion, are probably one of the most important forms of prenatal exercise a woman can practice, yet they were one of the most difficult exercises for me to remember to do regularly. Kegeling is the tightening of the pelvic floor, or the muscle that cuts off urine mid-stream. By flexing and relaxing this muscle, I was told I could strengthen my pelvic floor, which aids in a smoother delivery and recovery after birth. My birth class instructor used to stress the importance of doing regular kegels, but for some reason I could never remember to do them. Looking back now, I wish I had practiced them a little more!
These are just three simple ways to get in a little prenatal exercise. I used a bit of all three, but I definitely could have been more regular with all of them. I will be sure to try a little harder next time!

"Oh bugger that," Spike retaliated, tightening his brows and turning away from Angel after a double take. "You did a right fine job of it last time, too, didn'cha? Split the whole four of us up is what I recall. You and that.. buggered.. soul o' yours. Fogged up the whole game, ya did." He manufactured a sarcastically positive expression on his face and lightened his voice. "I'm bettin' chances you're gonna do it again."
"Ain't that somethin'," Angel's monotone voice asked rhetorically as he tilted his head, smirking with one corner of his mouth. "And now you have a soul, too. Is there anything you won't do to be like me, Spike?"
Spike's lips pursed tightly and he shook his head a few times in quickly growing aggravation from Angel's question. "You.. ohh.." he picked up the small vase from the table and thrust it violently at the wall, hollering above the shattering sound, pointing an accusing finger at his unadmitted companion. "SOD OFF! You're off your sodding rocker, that's what you are. I wouldn't be like you if.. if.." he struggled to locate proper words though none seemed powerful enough in his sudden state of anger, ".. if I was you!" He stopped and stared at Angel in a matter-of-fact manner moments before turning to leave the office with huff in his step. When he reached the door he gripped the handle, turned himself around and hollered back at the watching Angel, "And your hair is bloody stupid!"
Minutes later he found himself outside Wolfram & Hart, strolling aimlessly down the sidewalk of Los Angeles without much to-do or place to go, looking for something he hadn't decided, a cigarette smoldering between his taut lips. Unheard curses played repeatedly through his mind. He turned down an alleyway intent on cutting through to an adjacent avenue though didn't even manage to make it halfway before a sharp pain stabbed briefly into his head and all went black.
"Mm," came a high pitched hum of approval followed by the appearance of a dark haired woman stepping out into the dim light, eyeing the large frying pan in her hand decently. "The song said you'd be difficult, Spike," her melodic voice, softly kissed by an accent, sang as she looked down upon the unconscious vampire with a small smile. "Sorry, lovely. I had to rewrite the lyrics."

DIY Cabinet
I have been thinking of getting a house, probably a bigger apartment or a terrace house. It becoming clear in my mind why i needed a bigger space or a house at least. Children need a bigger space especially growing up time and comfortable for learning. Financial is an issue but if i don't start now its not going to be nothing in the future. Its time to work smart and enjoy life at the same time.
I really wish and hope something good will come, a house as what i have in mind, a price that suits my budget and location that is strategic. The first thing i have in my mind is a small study room that can be used for everyone at home. Browsing beautiful and creative interior design makes me want to learn more about diy or 'do it yourself' especially diy cabinets.. colorful would look fun :).

D. Recovery cities
Recovery from drug addiction is possible. While individuals can attempt to overcome their addiction, they can only do so much on their own. After all, recovery is not only about controlling drug use but also requires meaningful activities and positive social networks that foster a sense of self-worth and belonging as well as the hope that change is possible. It also requires a community that is willing to accept that people can recover and reintegrate.
Sheffield Hallam University, Ghent University and the city of Gothenburg in Sweden have started to outline how a recovery city would look like in practice.
Here and here you can find the presentations from the session.
Here you can find a summery of the session. Please note that the summary was drafted during the session and it is intended solely for educational purposes and should not to be used for direct quotations.

Put Evil up on the code site. Evil is my C++ to Scheme compiler. It was intended to be a hack to help me translate a pile of nasty C++ code for the Common Larceny project. It is definitely more of a hack than a production compiler, but it did what I wanted.

Thanks to my computer-giftedly kid, adastraperasper, we are making some design changes here at LJ-land.
What do you think about the new look?? What do the colors look like on your computer?

Does anybody know what that means? A wolf whistle is the obnoxious tweet-tweeeee whistle that some men make to show appreciation of/interest in a passing woman. Note to guys: girls do NOT like this. Ever. In fact, it pretty much guarantees that in her head she is condemning you to the lowest level of hell. Running after her screaming "shake it, mami, shake it hard" is also a Bad Thing. If you want to let a girl know you think she's hot, then a polite, restrained nod of the head is the way to go.
Anyway, in my daughter's China journal today, she points out that construction guys in China do it, too. Kind of makes you want to sing "It's a Small World," doesn't it?
(The reason it is funny that she would be mistaken for a Latina, is that she has blazing white skin and red hair. Mostly, she gets mistaken for a tourist from Dublin.)
Congrats to Sarah Dessen writergrl (and my in-laws Darice, Gregg, Eric, and Anna) on the win of the Caroline Hurricanes, and to Alex Flinn on the Miami Heat.
Back to the doc today for more tests about the stupid infection. Bah.
And more fact-checking and obsessing about words in the picture book.
One of the things I love most about the world of children's publishing is that the people involved are (generally) very serious about keeping their facts straight. If you write historical fiction for grown-ups, I am told you have lots of latitude to make stuff up. Not in my world. There are legions of librarians and teachers out there who trust us to present accurate information, even in a fictional setting.
You can imagine how tight the rules are when it comes to non-fiction!
I am taking some time off from the new WIP to go back to my historical (non-fiction) picture book, due out next summer. I received the manuscript back from the very nice Expert Historian, and I have the sketches from the artist. At my meeting with my editor last week, we discussed a couple of design changes that should make the information flow more easily. So I have a lot to do this week!
Right now I'm combing through my notes looking for the sources of information about those points that the Expert questioned. Once she and I agree about a couple of interpretations, I'll work on fixing the text to accommodate the design changes.
This might sound tedious, but really, it is very exciting.
Trust me.
I am sorry that I haven't returned your book yet, but I cannot read your street address.
Can you send me a note with the correct address on it?? Thanks!
I've been researching the new WIP like a fiend, but will lift my face out of the musty library books briefly for this update.
Happy Belated Father's Day to all. We had a grand time – hung out with our dads, feted BH, called G (dad to daughter's #1 & #3), and ate massive amounts of barbequed chicken and strawberry shortcake. I baked the shortcake, much to the puzzlement of my family which so rarely sees me in the kitchen. #1 Son and Jess, daughter #2, made BH feel very proud and paternal. If you want to make your dad laugh, send him here.
A couple of teachers have written to tell me that SPEAK made it into their school's yearbook as one of the students' favorite books. This feels very nice. Even better is the fact that Best Books is now a yearbook category. Maybe there hope after all.
Summer solstice is coming up this week. When I lived in Denmark, it was a night of great parties and amazing bonfires. Might have to recreate a little of that here in the Forest.
If any of you are bored out of your skulls, see if you can track down a copy of the diary and sketches (1762-1780)of Lt-general Archibald Robertson. I think the formal author names are Robertson and Henry Miller Lydenberg. There is a microfilm copy at SUNY Oswego, but I would like to find a hard copy to borrow so I can photocopy and blow up some of the sketches of New York in the time period of the WIP.
One more thing. I tried to watch TV yesterday. Miami Ink, to be precise. I enjoy tattoos and the stories behind them, but I wanted to find the directors/editors of the show and through them to the sharks. They stretch 5 minutes of story-telling into half an hour by repeating things over and over and over again. One guy, about to ship out with the Navy, wanted a koi fish to remind him of his son. OK, let's leave the fact that they never explained the fish=son connection alone for a sec. They told us that he was getting the "koi fish for his son" seven freaking times before the artist even fired up the machine. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! My brain was shrinking by the second.
Most television sucks.

The term "myoclonic status epilepticus" and its variations, including "prolonged myoclonus," "status myoclonus," "status myoclonicus," and "myoclonic status," have been used to describe a variety of clinical states that have in common a prolonged period of frequent spontaneous myoclonic jerks. Myoclonic status may be associated with a wide range of etiologies, including anoxic brain injury, toxic-metabolic encephalopathies, and exacerbations of certain epilepsy syndromes. The clinical presentation and significance of frequent myoclonic jerks differs greatly by etiology. In this article, the authors discuss the classification, clinical presentations, etiologies, and management of conditions typically categorized as subtypes of myoclonic status epilepticus. They also discuss controversies of prognostic significance and management of myoclonic status epilepticus following anoxic brain injury, including data to suggest possible clinical and EEG predictors for neurologic outcomes.
Key points
• The term "myoclonic status epilepticus" has been used to describe a wide array of clinicoelectrographic presentations, with varied prognostic and treatment implications.
• Myoclonic status epilepticus has been described in generalized epilepsy syndromes, neurodegenerative disease, infectious or inflammatory neurologic disease, toxic-metabolic states, and following anoxic brain injury.
• The presentation of and approach to myoclonic status epilepticus depends largely on the underlying etiology.
• Although traditionally considered a poor prognosticator following cardiac arrest, the presence of myoclonic status epilepticus should be evaluated in concert with other clinical and neurophysiologic variables when making a prediction of outcome, as a significant minority of these patients will have favorable outcome.
Historical note and terminology
The term myoclonic status epilepticus and its variations, including prolonged myoclonus, status myoclonus, status myoclonicus, generalized myoclonic status epilepticus, and myoclonic status have been used to describe a variety of clinical states that have in common a prolonged period of frequent spontaneous myoclonic jerks but otherwise differ substantially. There is no consensus on the correct application of these terms though the prognostic and treatment implications of frequent myoclonic jerks varies greatly by etiology and electroclinical features. For example, "myoclonic status" and "myoclonic status epilepticus" are often used to describe a clinical presentation initially described by Brett as "minor epileptic status" (Brett 1966; Ohtahara and Ohtsuka 2008). He described a fluctuating state of frequent myoclonic or atonic seizures sufficient to mimic ataxia and cause severe functional impairment. This occurs predominantly in children with mental retardation and epilepsy and was associated with variable degrees of impaired consciousness. Celesia and colleagues used the term "generalized status myoclonicus" to describe 19 critically ill adults with a very different presentation involving frequent myoclonic jerks (Celesia et al 1988). They defined "generalized status myoclonicus" as a "fixed and enduring state lasting at least 30 minutes and characterized by continuous generalized, and at times asynchronous, rhythmic myoclonic jerks incessantly repeated at a frequency of 1 to 5 seconds." Eighteen of these patients were comatose during the frequent myoclonic activity. The majority of patients (67%) had suffered anoxic brain injury, and the others had significant toxic-metabolic disturbances such as renal or liver failure. Celesia and colleagues emphasized that generalized status myoclonicus was a clinical, not electrographic, definition and found that scalp EEGs in these patients varied (although most had a correlate for myoclonic jerks on scalp EEG, 2 did not). In contrast, in a retrospective review of hospitalized patients, Jumao-as and Brenner used a strict electroclinical definition to identify 23 patients with a very similar presentation, which they called "myoclonic status epilepticus" (Jumao-as and Brenner 1990). They defined myoclonic status epilepticus as a prolonged (more than 30-minute) period of myoclonic jerks that were correlated with epileptiform discharges on EEG. Despite the different inclusion criteria, the affected patients in this study were very similar to those with "generalized status myoclonicus": the majority (65%) had encephalopathy from anoxic brain injury. Other etiologies included metabolic encephalopathy (17%), epilepsy (9%), and dementia (8%).
The most commonly cited classification of myoclonic status epilepticus was proposed by Gastaut (Gastaut 1983). Gastaut suggested that myoclonic status epilepticus should be divided into "true" and "symptomatic" forms. In this classification, true myoclonic status epilepticus refers to myoclonic status epilepticus in patients with epilepsy and can be further characterized as primary myoclonic status epilepticus or secondary myoclonic status epilepticus, a distinction relating to the original concept of primary versus secondary generalized epilepsy (Merlis 1970). Thus, under the prior International League Against Epilepsy's classification of epilepsy syndromes, primary myoclonic status epilepticus refers to myoclonic status epilepticus in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy, and secondary myoclonic status epilepticus refers to myoclonic status epilepticus in patients with symptomatic or cryptogenic generalized epilepsy (Commission on Classification and Terminology of the International League Against Epilepsy 1989). Under the newly-adopted classification system, primary myoclonic status epilepticus would be seen in patients with idiopathic or genetic generalized epilepsy, and because the concepts of "symptomatic" and "cryptogenic" have been removed, secondary myoclonic status epilepticus would best correspond to myoclonic status epilepticus in patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (of genetic or unknown cause) (Berg et al 2010; Scheffer et al 2017). The 1989 classification system is used below, as it more clearly corresponds to Gastaut's organization.
In Gastaut's classification system, symptomatic myoclonic status epilepticus was reserved for myoclonic status epilepticus that occurs as a result of infectious, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, toxic-metabolic, or anoxic brain disease. Because it occurs in patients without a prior diagnosis of epilepsy, it is the symptomatic form of myoclonic status epilepticus that several authors (including Gastaut) have proposed should be renamed "status myoclonus" or "status myoclonicus" (Gastaut 1983; Celesia 1988; Treiman 1993). However, as myoclonic activity involving the cortex can be considered an epileptic seizure, we think it is reasonable to use "myoclonic status epilepticus" as an umbrella term to describe frequent myoclonus of presumed or certain cortical origin regardless of etiology.opsoclonus-myoclonus.
There is no definition of the duration or frequency of myoclonic jerks required to qualify as myoclonic status, but they should occur frequently and long enough to significantly impair functioning. A reasonable general definition might be that myoclonus must occur either (1) at least once every 10 seconds for longer than 10 minutes or (2) at least once a minute for longer than 30 minutes.
