Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Policy
The Huntsville Madison County Public Library affirms its support of equal access for persons with disabilities and of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Library seeks to make its services, facilities, and programs as accessible as possible to the public, including those who have disabilities.
The Main Library offers the special services of the Blind and Physically Handicapped Department (B &PH), which provides a collection of audio and Braille materials from the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS). Patrons of the B & PH Department who meet the NLS requirements may receive materials by postage-free mail. Assistive computer technology and limited physical assistance from the Blind and Physically Handicapped staff are also available.
Persons may wish to request accommodations or make complaints about accessibility at the Library. The following procedures have been developed in order to assist the Library in addressing these concerns:
Step One: Requests for accommodation and/or complaints about accessibility can be presented in person, by mail, email, or over the phone. These should be addressed to the Library Director who then makes every attempt to provide accommodation and/or resolve the issue.
Step Two: If resolution is not achieved by Step One, a complaint can be presented in writing on an Accessibility Concerns Form. Assistance in completing this form is provided as needed. Completed forms are reviewed by the Library Director and a formal response is made to the library user within ten working days of the date of original submission of the form. The formal response can be a telephone call, followed by a letter confirming the telephone discussion, or directly by letter. The Library Director will make every attempt to resolve the issue through this means.
Step Three: If resolution is not achieved by Step Two, the concerned individual can request that the complaint be presented to the Library Board. The Library Director will place the matter on the agenda so that the concerned individual can present his or her concern at the next regularly scheduled Library Board meeting.

Public Access Computer Procedures
- All public access computers in the Huntsville Madison County Public Library System may be used by adults and children ages 10 and older. The Youth Services Department of the Main Library and some Branches have computers that are specifically for children, and have no age limits. To use all other public access computers, children ages 9 and under need to be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older.
- The Library uses an automated PC Reservation system. Every effort is made to provide equitable access and time to all users of our public computers.
- All computer users must have one of the following:
- A valid Huntsville-Madison County Public Library card.
- A Public Computer Use Only Card for non-residents, guests, and residents ineligible for a full membership. This limited-access card is strictly for computer usage. It may be obtained at a service desk and should be issued to patrons who are frequent users of the public computers. Such cards are unable to check out items; guest and non-resident patrons wishing to upgrade computer-use only cards may apply for a full card at a circulation desk. Non-resident fees apply to full membership cards.
- Guest computer use ID—This type of card will no longer be issued effective April 1, 2008.
- To use a public access computer, a user must have either a valid Huntsville-Madison County Public Library card or a Public Computer Use Only card. No one may use another person's card or card number. Anyone that does not comply with this requirement will have his or her card blocked for one month and will lose borrowing and computer use privileges during that time.
- Copies made on computer printers are $.15/page, with the exception that there are no charges for print-outs made of searches in our online catalog.
- Generally, a patron is limited to 1 hour usage per day with 1 extension for 30 minutes if no one is waiting.
- High demand locations have express workstations for quick email access and other short uses. These computers have a time limit of 15 minutes, and are on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations or sign-ups are required for these workstations.
- Reservations, where reservations may be made, will be held for only five (5) minutes past the reservation time in all locations but the Regional Computer Training Center, where they will be held for ten (10) minutes.
- Flash Drives may be purchased for $7.00; headsets for $2.00.
- Patrons may access personal e-mail accounts that are web-based like Hotmail, Yahoo and America Online.
- Patrons are required to use only the software available on the library computers, and are not allowed to load software on a computer's hard drive, or use their own software on a floppy disk or portable USB flash storage device.
- Patrons may use portable USB flash storage devices, also called memory sticks, on the library computers. The library is not responsible for any damage that might occur to a patron's personal device, and cannot guarantee, due to manufacturer variations, that all memory sticks will work with library workstations. A patron's personal USB peripherals such as external hard drives and webcams are not permitted for use on library computers.
- Individual departments or Branches may have additional procedures that are specific to each location and based on their users' needs.
Internet Safety Policy
This is the public's library. Our mission is to enrich the educational, recreational, and cultural life of our community through materials, information, and programs that foster a lifelong love of learning.
Internet Access
The Library collection is supplemented by the wide variety of resources available through the Alabama Virtual Library and the Internet. Computers are provided for our users to access these online resources in the Library, and free classes are available in the Computer Training Center for those who wish to improve their computer and Internet skills.
The content of the Internet is unregulated, and the Library has no control over the resources available there. Information found on the Internet may be reliable and current, or it may be inaccurate, out of date, illegal, obscene or sexually explicit. Because the Library cannot monitor or control the information available through the Internet, users access the Internet at their own discretion.
In order to provide equal access for users to its computers and the Internet, the Library sets time limits for computer usage and requires user sign-up or reservations.
Users are expected to utilize the Library computers in a responsible manner and to respect the rights of other users. Any actions that will cause damage to computer software or equipment, or will result in the invasion of privacy or harassment of others will not be allowed.
The Library will have no liability for direct, indirect or consequential damages related to the use of information accessed through the Library's Internet service. Since software and information downloaded from any sources, including the Internet, may contain computer viruses, users are advised to utilize virus-checking software on their home computers. The Library is not responsible for damage to users' storage devices or computers or for any loss of data, damage or liability that may occur from the use of the Library's computers.
Responsibilities of Parents/Guardians of Minors
Parents/guardians are responsible for their minor (under the age of 17) children's use of the Library's resources and facilities. This includes using the Internet at any of the Library locations. Parents who believe that their children cannot responsibly use the Library's Internet access are requested to monitor their children's Internet use.
The Library will assist parents/guardians and children in the use of the use of the Internet, and suggest specific web sites that are age and content appropriate for children.
Unacceptable Uses of Computers
The following general uses of the Internet and Library computers are not permitted:
- Viewing graphic sexual materials;
- Downloading and installing software on Library computers;
- Hacking the Library network, including unauthorized use of network logins
- Using the Internet for unlawful purposes;
The following types of Internet and Library computer usage are prohibited for minors as specified in the Neighborhood Children's Internet Protection Act (NCIPA):
- Access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet and World Wide Web;
- Uses that compromise the safety and security of minors when using electronic mail, chat rooms and other forms of direct electronic communications;
- Unauthorized access, including hacking, and other unlawful activities by minors online;
- Unauthorized disclosure, use and dissemination of personal identification information regarding minors; and
- Access by minors to materials harmful to minors.
The term "harmful to minors" is defined by the Communications Act of 1934 (47 USC Section 254 [h][7], as meaning any picture, image, graphic image file, or other visual depiction that
- taken as a whole and with respect to minors, appeals to a prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion;
- depicts, describes, or represents, in a patently offensive way with respect to what is suitable for minors, an actual or simulated sexual act or sexual contact, actual or simulated normal or perverted sexual acts, or a lewd exhibition of the genitals;
- taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value as to minors.
Technology Protection Measures
The Library uses technology protection measures, as required by the Children's Internet Protection Act, to protect against access to visual depictions that (1) are obscene, (2) contain child pornography, or (3) are harmful to minors.
Technology protection measures are not foolproof, and may not always prevent Library patrons and staff from inadvertently accessing text or images that may be offensive. Sites that contain inoffensive and useful information may also be erroneously blocked.
Library staff will disable upon request the technology protection measures on designated computers to allow Internet access for lawful purposes for adults (age 17 or older).
Adults or minors may also request access to web sites that are erroneously blocked. Library staff will review the sites in question and provide access to those that are blocked in error.
Penalty for Violation of Policy
Any user who fails to comply with this policy will receive a warning and will forfeit the remainder of his computer time. After the first warning, users continuing to violate this policy will be issued a six-month trespass warning and will be barred from using any Library facilities for this period of time.
This Internet Safety Policy was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Huntsville Madison County Public Library at a public meeting, following normal public notice, on June 26, 2002, and revised on September 21, 2004 and April 21, 2005. It was reviewed and revised by the Library Board at a public meeting, following normal public notice, on March 19, 2014.
Due to Public Health concerns, the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library no longer loans Shared Computer Headsets for Public Use.
Patrons are welcome to bring in personal headsets suitable for computer stereo use, or to purchase a reusable quality stereo headset at a service desk for $2.00 each. Any headset purchased becomes property of the patron, and must be taken with the patron upon exit from the Library.
The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library is not responsible for purchased or personal headsets left on the premises, or damaged due to patron misuse.
Approved by the Board of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library July 18, 2001.

Digital Video Security Camera Policy
Security cameras will be used where needed to discourage violations of the Library's Rules of Conduct, to assist Library staff in preventing the recurrence of any violations and, when necessary, to provide law enforcement assistance in prosecuting criminal activity. The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the placement and use of digital video cameras, as well as the access and retrieval of recorded digital video images at the Huntsville Madison County Public Library.
Video monitoring and recording will be conducted in a manner consistent with all existing local and applicable laws and ordinances.
Cameras may be installed in locations where staff and patrons would not have an expectation of privacy. Examples include common areas of the Library such as entrances, near book and media collections, public seating, delivery areas and parking lots.
Cameras will not be installed in areas where staff and public have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as restrooms.
- Digital video security cameras are installed in selected indoor and outdoor locations at the Main Library.
- A sign will be posted at Library entrance informing the public that security cameras are in use.
- Selected staff will have access to the real time monitors, although activity is only randomly monitored.
- In pursuit of incidents of criminal activity or violation of the Library's Rules of Conduct, only the Executive Director or his/her designee(s) will have access to the archived material.
- Video recordings and photos obtained through the video monitoring system will be released only in response to search warrants, court orders, and requests by law enforcement for an active investigation.
- Images will typically be retained for a period determined by the storage capacity of the equipment, usually about 14 to 21 calendar days. As new images are recorded, the oldest images will be automatically deleted.
- Selected digital video may be saved for as long as required
- Staff and patron safety is the first priority in any threatening situation. The protection of Library property is of secondary importance.
- Cameras will not be installed for the express purpose of monitoring staff performance.

- Questions from the public may be addressed to the Executive Director.

The Library has a limited amount of space available for the distribution of free literature and displays. Only materials for non-profit organizations engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual or charitable activities in the community may be displayed. The Library does not endorse the activities and information contained in these non-Library displays and promotional materials.
Guidelines for the display of nonprofit organization materials and information:
- Materials must be approved by the Library Department or Branch Manager where the display will be located.
- Political campaign advertising and notices advocating or promoting partisan political issues will not be allowed.
- Materials will be displayed for limited periods of time only. Items will be removed at the discretion of the Library staff.

Approved Date: 7/15/2009
Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Discrimination Policy
The Library recognizes that one of its responsibilities is to provide job opportunities and employment in a non-discriminatory manner. In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at the Library will be based on merit, qualifications, and abilities. The Library does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, national and ethnic origin, age, disability, political affiliation, religious affiliation, or any other characteristic protected by law. No employee or applicant for employment with the Library shall in any way be favored or discriminated against for any of these reasons.
The Library shall take the necessary action to eliminate equal opportunity barriers and to prohibit discrimination and/or preferred treatment concerning any individual on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, national and ethnic origin, age, disability, political affiliation, religious affiliation, or any other characteristic protected by law (except where age or physical requirements constitute a bona fide occupational qualification necessary for proper and efficient functioning in the job); and, on the basis of any other non-merit factor. Equal employment opportunity, free of discriminatory practices, shall be enforced in all facets of employment including, but not limited to, recruitment, testing, promotion, terms and conditions of employment, compensation, benefits, training, discipline, appeals, layoffs, and terminations.
Any employees or applicants with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace are encouraged to bring their issues to the attention of the employee's supervisor or the Library's Human Resources Director as soon as possible. The Library cannot solve the problem unless it knows about it. The Human Resources Director is the Library's EEO Officer. If an employee or applicant is uncomfortable reporting his/her concern to his/her supervisor or the Human Resources Director, the employee or applicant may report the concern to the Executive Director, Deputy Director or any Library Board Member.
Supervisors shall provide employees and applicants alleging discrimination accessibility to those who can respond to and assist the individual in order to ensure that their rights are not violated and to decrease the necessity to seek assistance through outside investigating agencies. Supervisors or Library Board Members receiving complaints about discrimination shall immediately report those complaints to the Human Resources Director. Supervisors and any other employees who witness any type of behavior that they believe may constitute discrimination should immediately report such behavior.
Employees and applicants can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal or retaliation. The Library will not retaliate, or allow retaliation, against any employee or applicant who complains of discrimination, assists in an investigation of possible discrimination, or files an administrative charge or lawsuit alleging discrimination.
The Library will not tolerate discrimination against any employee or applicant. All allegations of discrimination will be quickly and discreetly investigated. To the extent possible, the identity of those involved will be protected against unnecessary disclosure. When the investigation is completed, the involved parties will be informed of the outcome. Any employee found to be engaging in any type of discrimination that violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
The Human Resources Director shall be responsible for the distribution and discussion of this Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Discrimination Policy with directors, managers, supervisors, and other employees, and Library Board Members to assure understanding and reasonable and consistent application. Supervisors shall conduct personnel management operations in accordance with this Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Discrimination Policy.

Gifts and Memorials
Gifts and Memorials
The Library Board is grateful for all donations and gifts. It is through the generosity of individuals and groups that areas of library service have been developed and the library collection enriched to an extent that would not otherwise have been possible.
The Library, as a non-profit organization, may issue receipts for donations that may be used for Internal Revenue Service tax deduction purposes. The Library cannot set a value on gifts, this is the responsibility of the donor.
All gifts become the sole property of the Library and may be utilized or disposed of in any manner approved by the Board. In certain instances, if the Board deems it to be for the benefit of the Library, terms or restrictions may be placed upon gifts by the donors, and a contract entered into by the Board and the donor.
The addition of gift books and other materials to the Library collection is determined by the same standards of selection that are applied to purchased material. Library staff will review and screen material using such selection criteria as:
- Timeliness (published within the past 5 years)
- Scope
- Relevance to the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library collection policy
- Appropriateness of content and format
- Literary or educational quality
- Physical condition
- Sufficient availability of title in collection.
Materials not added to the collection may be sold by the Friends of the Main Library or the Branch where the donation was made and the proceeds provide support for the library location receiving the gift. The Library does not provide notification to the donor of whether or not a gift has been placed in the collection.
The donor is responsible for:
- Delivering gifts to the Library in small boxes or bags that can be easily lifted
- Completing the gift acknowledgement form that is provided by the Library and may be used for tax purposes.
Monetary gifts for the purchase of books or other library material as memorials will be accepted, and appropriate designation and acknowledgment will be made by the Library
Library staff will review titles that are available on a specified subject matter, if requested by the donor, and will select a title within a given price range that is most needed by the Library. These books or other materials become the property of the Library and will be treated as regular library acquisitions.
For memorial gifts, an acknowledgement will be sent to the recipient designated by the donor indicating for whom the gift has been given and the name of the donor. For honor gifts, a notification of the gift and the donor will be sent to the honoree. The donor must provide the Library with names and addresses for notifications.
With a gift of $25.00 or more, a plate will be placed in the purchased book with the names of the donor and honoree. A gift of under $25.00 will go to the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library book fund. Donors and recipients at any level will be listed in the Friends of the Library newsletter.
Memorial funds for special projects or acquisitions may be established if approved by the Library Board.
Books from Local Authors
The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library is pleased to encourage local writers by purchasing their printed works. If there is a title to be considered, contact information for the author, a description of the work, and how it can be purchased should be sent to askus [at] hpl [dot] lib [dot] al [dot] us.
Approved Date: 12/16/09
Info Requests from City Directories
The Library does not provide city directory information by telephone. Library patrons are required to come to the Library to retrieve such information.
Library Hours
The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library has established weekly schedules of operation that are specific for each library location. Holidays and other planned closings will be noted in the Huntsville Times as well as on the Library website and on fliers and signs at all library service locations. All materials that would normally be due on the date of a scheduled closing will automatically show in the computer a due date of the next open day.
Approved Date: 10/21/09
Materials Selection
The primary responsibility of public library service is the selection and maintenance of the best possible book collection to meet the interests and needs of the community. Books and other materials will be chosen for values of interest, information, education and enlightenment of all the people of the community. In no case should any book be excluded because of the race or nationality or the political or religious views of the writer.
There should be the fullest practicable provision of material presenting all points of view concerning the problems and issues of our times--international, national and local; and books or other reading matter of sound factual authority should not be proscribed or removed from the library shelves because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
Censorship of books, urged or practiced by volunteer arbiters of morals or political opinion, or by organizations that would establish a coercive concept of any issue, must be challenged by the library in maintenance of its responsibility to provide public information and enlightenment through the printed word.
The library will endeavor to select worthwhile books on all sides of all subjects. Censorship of any political doctrine or religious creed will not be exercised. The reading public will be given the opportunity to study all sides of any controversial issue. The library does not consider itself a censor, but a clearing house for all types of materials of a worthwhile nature.
An earnest effort will be made to purchase only books of recognized worth in various fields. Library funds will not be spent on works of no literary, reference or recreational merit.
The library will maintain a complete reference section in all disciplines in as much as library funds permit.
Books will be provided for young people to supplement their school work and broaden their fields of interest.
Quality books from approved lists will be purchased for children to assist them in reading skills, widen their horizons, help them in their school work, make them more aware of their cultural heritage, and provide them with entertainment.
Books of interest and assistance to elder citizens and retired persons will be purchased, as will materials to assist adults in their continuing education.
Books for recreational reading will be selected for varied interests such as popular fiction, historical novels, popular non-fiction, mysteries, westerns, science fiction and light romances.
Books of a general scientific and technical nature will be provided in so far as they do not duplicate existing collections in special libraries in the city available to the public.
A basic collection of the great cultural works of our civilization will be maintained.
As the public library is the natural storehouse for materials of local historical interest and as these may not be available anywhere else, every effort will be made to collect and preserve books, manuscripts, etc. relating to this region.
The needs of the physically and visually handicapped for special materials will be provided for by special collections.
Meeting Room Policies
The Meeting Rooms of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library are provided to further the Library's mission to meet the informational, cultural and recreational needs of the community. The primary use of the meeting rooms is for Library programs.

- Cultural
- Governmental (meaning a group sponsored by a city, county, state or federal agency)
- Denominational groups, organizations, or associations, affiliated with more than one church, will be allowed the use of the meeting rooms when no religious services are to be conducted. While no group shall be denied access based on the content of their meetings or religious views expressed therein, the meeting rooms are not designed to be used for regular church services for any one organization or to provide a forum to organize or build membership for one particular church, congregation or equivalent thereof.
Individuals are not eligible to use the library meeting rooms unless they officially represent one of the groups that meets the requirements listed above.
A non-profit group that meets the eligibility requirements above but is not based in Huntsville, Madison and/or Madison County may be considered for use of a meeting room if the organization is providing a service to local residents.
Organizations may be required to provide written documentation of non-profit status (which may include charter, bylaws, or articles of incorporation or such other documentation as may be requested) to the Library Administration 72 hours prior to the use of the meeting room.
Unacceptable Uses of Rooms
Rooms are not available for the following:
- Private social purposes, such as weddings, family reunions, receptions, dinners, birthday parties, baby showers, etc.
- Promotion of commercial products or services
- Political campaign events for one candidate or candidates of one political party.
- Paid tutoring sessions.
Library's Right to Deny or Cancel Use
The Library reserves the right to deny or cancel use of a meeting room to qualified groups for the following reasons:
- Library sponsored programs and events take precedence over meeting room use by outside organizations. If cancellation of a scheduled program is necessary, notice will be given as soon as reasonably possible.
- The group is using the room for an initial introductory or explanatory meeting to be followed by other meetings in another location where fees will be charged.
- The group has violated a rule or has misrepresented the purpose of the organization or meeting to be held at the Library.
Admission Fees and Charges
No fees, admission or other charges, sales of any kind, or solicitation of funds will be allowed for any non-Library sponsored function.
Programs that are sponsored by the Library or a Library-related organization may involve profit-making groups and fees or admission charges. The sale of books or materials may also take place at an event sponsored by the Library or a Library-related organization.
Hours Available
The meeting rooms are available during the Library's regular operating hours.
Reservations are accepted Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
Generally, a meeting room should be booked at least one month prior to the event, but not earlier than one year. A completed meeting room application must be on file at the Library and must be updated annually.
Room Setup and Cleanup

The Library makes an effort to represent all sides and viewpoints of controversial issues and does not endorse particular beliefs or views. The selection of an item does not express or imply approval or disapproval of the contents. Library materials will not be sequestered except for the purposes of staff use or for protecting them from theft or damage.
Comments from members of the community frequently provide librarians with useful information about interests or needs that may not be adequately met by the Library. The Library welcomes the expression of opinion by patrons on the collection as a whole, parts of the collection or individual items. While a patron may personally object to certain materials in the Library collection, he/she may not restrict access to those materials by other library users. Censorship of library materials must be challenged by the Library in maintenance of its responsibility to provide public information and enlightenment through the material.
If a patron objects to material owned by the Library, he/she may complete a Request for Reconsideration Form for submission to the Executive Director. The patron submitting the request must be a resident of Madison County and hold a valid borrower's card.
The following procedure will be followed when a Request for Reconsideration is submitted:
- The Executive Director will appoint a staff committee to study the request and determine if the material meets the Library's selection criteria. The committee will prepare a written recommendation of its findings.
- The Executive Director will consider the committee's recommendation and will respond in writing to the person who submitted the request.
- In the event the person who initiated the reconsideration request is not satisfied with the decision of the Executive Director, he/she may request in writing within five (5) working days of receipt of the decision that the matter be forwarded to the Board for final review.
- The Executive Director will present the reconsideration request to the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Based on the information presented, the Board will make a final determination of the matter.
- The Executive Director will send a written response detailing the Board's decision to the person who submitted the request.
The decision on reconsideration of a specific title will remain in effect for three years.
During the review process the Library will take appropriate action to insure that the item will continue to be available to the public.

8 Outrageous Senior Pranks That Got Teens Busted
I don't get it - none of these pranks seem to have put the students or others in danger or to have resulted in expensive damage - so why are the students in so much trouble?
If they were given fair warning that no pranks were allowed and that specific punishment would be meted out to anyone taking part in a prank - that is one thing. But, if there was no prior warning and a tradition of senior pranks in the school - then the administration should lighten up.
Have the kids pay for any damage they caused - or clean up any mess - and move on. This should not be an issue for withholding the right to graduate.
Some of these kids should have been rewarded with extra credit for creativity.
Nyack is my old hometown lmao Right on!
I received 1 st loans when I was 32 and this supported my business very much. However, I require the auto loan again.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

the senior girls need a prank to do on the senior boys.
Your post is really awesome.It is extremely helpful for me.
Hello ,
Excellent read about
8 Outrageous Senior Pranks that Got Teens Busted, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that:
Thanks for your great work :)

Its good to read this post.
The hallway slide sounds dangerous. Ever slipped on ice and hurt yourself? Should I laugh the next time I see it happen to someone? The next person I see fall down on ice might be you. You could end up with a broken hip. If I see it happen should I just stand there and say, "Hahahahahahaha, that reminds me of a school prank! Wow, you're so funny," to the injured person?
I wouldn't imagine it's pleasant for all those kids who have the smell of skunk on their books, either. The pranksters might have sprayed the hay, but we all know how easily smells get around. They tend to hang around too.
I can see why the students involved in those two pranks were punished. I did like the other ones though, especially the one with the car. The playground one surprised me because I couldn't think of how it was a prank at first. I know a school that does have its playground on the roof. The roof is flat and there are walls around the playground (obviously) so it's safe. Us teachers even had a water fight with the students up there last summer.
I don't see anything wrong with those pranks
They are funny though!!

CentraState and Monmouth County Division of Mental Health & Addictions Honor Superstorm Sandy Responders
FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP — When Superstorm Sandy hit central New Jersey, the devastation to property was obvious. Less obvious was the impact the storm had on the mental health and well-being of residents.
That's why the ongoing work of mental health "first responders"– employees of CentraState Healthcare System and Disaster Response Crisis Counselors from the Monmouth County Division of Mental Health & Addiction Services–has been critical to the area's recovery, says Moustafa Shafey, MD, board-certified psychiatrist and assistant chief of staff at CentraState.
"These responders, who are volunteers in many cases, have worked tirelessly to offer their support to people who are still dealing with the emotional impacts of the storm," Dr. Shafey says. "At CentraState, our staff members were literally working around the clock during and in the days after Sandy, even some whose own homes and neighborhoods were impacted."
To honor their work, CentraState and the Division of Mental Health & Addictions are hosting "An Evening of Appreciation for Superstorm Sandy Mental Health Responders & CentraState Medical Center Staff" from 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday, March 1, in the hospital's Conference Center.
The event was born from a chance conversation between Dr. Shafey and Steven Horvath, MPA, assistant director, Monmouth County Office of Mental Health. They decided that while many groups have been lauded for their storm relief efforts, the work of mental health responders has gone largely unrecognized.
Responders, including a team from the NJ Hope and Healing campaign, have been offering grief counseling and psychological first aid at Monmouth County's three disaster recovery centers since the early days of the storm, according to Horvath. They've also
been working with community groups to help identify people who still may be struggling with post-storm mental health issues.
CentraState & Monmouth County Honor Sandy Responders
"People are carrying around emotional scars that, in some cases, are just now starting to come to light," Horvath says. "Our responders having been working to identify these people and help them get to the best emotional state possible under the circumstances."
The March 1 event will feature activities based around the same work responders have done – offering stress relief (massages); information (a discussion titled "Compassion Fatigue 'When the Crisis Doesn't End'"); and a little laughter (a comedy show). Hors d'oeuvres and dinner will also be served.
About CentraState
CentraState Healthcare System is a non-profit community health organization consisting of an acute-care hospital, a health and wellness campus, three senior living communities, a charitable foundation and a Family Medicine Residency Program, sponsored by UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

BEECH GROVE, IN — The Beech Grove City Hall is a health inspector''s nightmare and an unfortunate reality for city employees, according to WTHR-TV.
Inspectors cited the building for a number of health violations after discovering puddles on tables, rotting ceiling tiles, warped walls and carpets and mold on every level from the vents to the water-logged basement, the story stated.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mold has been shown to weaken the immune system, trigger asthma attacks, cause infections and migraines and over time can attack the brain and even cause death.
Although Mayor Donald Wright and his assistants, along with city council meetings and court hearings have all been moved to alternate locations, some city employees are still required to work in the hazardous, mold-infested building, the story noted.
According to the story, city council members say they were told the meetings were being moved because the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system wasn''t working; there was no mention of a mold problem.
A Marion County Health Department inspection report lists violations due to mold as far back as March 2008, the story added.
City Council Member Ed Bell said: "It was clearly obvious that mold was the reason we were moving out. It''s a slap in the face. We''ve asked the mayor to come before the council and answer questions but he refuses to do that. He wants to do it in private but we''ve had enough of the private. They''re trying to put a Band-Aid on the situation when it''s a serious problem."

"I did a little acting in college."
It's the cliché we all say when the Hollywood producer or the Broadway impresario asks us if we've ever done acting.
Perhaps that scenario only occurs on television, but for some people they actually did act on stage in college.
And chances are they acted in their alma mater's theatre club.
Below is a list of the top 20 university/college theatre club websites. They have been chosen because they're well designed sites that represent the spirit and magic of the theatre. Break A Leg!
Top Current Broadway Shows
The show must go on!
Even if that's all you know about the theatre, you still have to agree that these are some of the best websites, promoting some of the best theatre groups in the country.
Hopefully, one of the aforementioned theatre clubs is located in your area. That way you can not only visit their site, but you can see them perform on stage.

Summer Reading Book Review: Out of My Mind
Ever wonder what it would be like...
... to see the world, but not be able to be in it?
... to want to talk with people, but no words able to come out?
... be so frustrated you want to scream, but not be make a sound?
That is what this girl's life has been like for 11 years.
Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper
Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school-but NO ONE knows it.
Most people-her teachers and doctors included-don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows. But she can't. She can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write.
One of Melody's heroes is Stephen W. Hawking, the physicist who has been able to have a successful life and career despite being confined to a wheelchair because of ALS. Melody also spends her days in a wheelchair; if she can get access to a special computer like the one Hawking uses, could she finally show the world what she's thinking and feeling, and just how smart she's been all along?
Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind-that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice . . . but not everyone around her is ready to hear it.
