innappropriate/weird encounters with patients? - page 5
by meghan91
i was just wondering what everyones weird/ innappropriate encounters with patients where as a nurse (Ex. people touching you weirdly, saying innappropriate things thing you, stuff like that) im in nursing school but know a few... Read More
- 0Feb 8, '11 by Cul2"So you're saying that men masturbate in front of women
because they are uncomfortable with female care givers
and instead of asking for a male care giver they act
inappropriately? Interesting theory.'
Please don't put words into my mouth to score points. I think
what I've suggested is pretty clear. It's easy to simplify everything
with a statement like yours. Female/male interactions in medical
situations have been studied to some extent. It isn't a simple
matter. People are complicated. Apparently, you want to reduce
this discussion to one disturbing incident. It's more complicated
than that. - 3Feb 8, '11 by pedicurnQuote from MomRN0913Seriously agree ....You seriously think it's appropriate and expected behavior for a guy to masturbate in front of heathcare workers while they are trying to help him because he still has sexual feelings? I guess then it's appropriate for a guy to whip it out in public and start whacking off because he has an urge? Come on now. It should be the last time she ever excounters that, beause if a pt tried that in front of me, I would tell him how highly innappropriate that is and if he wants ot masturbate, he an do that in private. You view on this is disturbing.
Some of these comments on this thread have me wondering if I am in the wrong 'profession'
If a p't does this in front of healthcare workers .... what's his view on this? Getting his thrills for free??
At least he has to pay a prostitute
A reflection of lack of respect for nurses and aides .... does he whip it out for the doctor? - 2Feb 9, '11 by RNSue2010I have had very few weird encounters with women. I had one want us to rub cream on her vagina, yet she was perfectly capable of washing herself and wiping after toileting. We had one who wanted us to wipe her butt for her, though again She really truly could do it herself - that was more her trying to be degrading, as she would only do it with certain techs. She would actually bend over and reach back to spread her butt cheeks apart.
I've had men though ask for the women to hold their urinals, even place their penis in it, while asking repeatedly " is it in yet?". They could do it themselves when they had male techs or nurses. I have gotten the penile implant many times. I've had them masturbate ( or try to) while I was in the room, to which I have walked out saying "I see you need some privacy" and pulled the curtain. I've had men ask me to rob cream or lotion on their penises, and have several tell me they have " something wrong down there, can you check it?"
In general I think men tend to be inappropriate more often. Not always. I have had many vey pleasant patients of both genders and they outnumber the ones who were not. I have had a few other odd encounters with women, but they were all elderly dementia patients, so can't say they even knew what they were doing.Sehille4774 and Mashira like this. - 0Feb 9, '11 by DizzyLizzyNurseThe worst I've seen is a resident who also wanted the male aide to rub cream on her labia (she could do it herself if she really needed it) and once a saw a female resident pinch another male aide's butt. A couple of times I've seen women who were really demented masturbating but they did it anywhere, in public, in the bathroom, at activities etc. They didn't wait until they were alone with the nurse or aide. That's it. I've lost count of the number of times I've been pinched and groped and had inappropriate things said to me. Usually the confused women think the male nurses/aides are their husbands but they don't say sexual things to them. Think about generation. Maybe it'll be different with mine. Who knows?
Ok here's a nice story to be fair. I used to have a male resident who I wasn't allowed to shower (his choice) because I looked like his granddaughter and was "too young." (19.) I thought that was kinda sweet. - 1Feb 9, '11 by JS343Yes this thread is very female oriented. No doubt that men show more sexually inappropriate behavior than women, but inappropriate behavior is done by both sexes.
But it is equally inappropriate to complain about this in nursing homes where the majority of patients are not competent. Even if they seem oriented, they may have lost their ability to recognize inappropriate behavior. A nurse who feels threatened by this or can't respond professionally, should work somewhere else.
I personally have more trouble dealing with screaming swearing nursing home patients than inappropriate ones. Many if not most of them are women.lindarn likes this. - 1Dec 10, '12 by JoyfulNurseLPNWhile I agree with CapeCod's earlier post that it tends to be men who are more
likely to have these types of 'behaviors' towards staff, I have had a female client
who was A+0x3 pinch my behind before. I just told her it made me feel uncomfortable
and asked her not to do it again and she complied.
These things do happen and should be reported, whether it's a male or a female client.lindarn likes this. - 0Dec 10, '12 by DeLanaHarvickWannabeI had a patient ask me to take him on vacation with me. When I refused, he accused me of being a racist.
I also had a man who spoke primarily Russian try to fix me up with his grandson. Well, that was actually flattering more than inappropriate or weird.
One time, an elderly confused man grabbed my breasts then went unresponsive. Everyone claims they were "too much for him to handle." Oy vey. - 2Dec 10, '12 by JoyfulNurseLPNQuote from DeLanaHarvickWannabeLOL! I just spit my pepsi out everywhere!! Ohhh dear.
One time, an elderly confused man grabbed my breasts then went unresponsive. Everyone claims they were "too much for him to handle." Oy vey.anotherone and DeLanaHarvickWannabe like this. - 0Dec 10, '12 by lovingtheunlovedI worked in LTC for a long time, in a facility where all the residents had dementia, and we had a men's unit for the boys that couldn't behave. Well let me tell you, we should have had a women's unit too. We had some ladies that were straight up NASTY. Half the time the men that got moved to the men's unit were being moved because of an incident that a woman started, we just had nowhere to move her. Sad.
- 0Dec 10, '12 by mustlovepoodlesInteresting...48 posts and 44 of them are about men being nasty. Why am I not surprised?
I started off my career working med-surg and I got enough groping, suggestive commentary, and generalized nastiness to last me a life time. I switched to mother/baby about 2 years into my career, and later to peds, primarily so that i would NEVER have to deal with adult male patients again.

Googling 'spiritual nutrition' gives us lots of links to food. We can find many suggestions about the 'physical' eating designed to enhance our spiritual nature. For example — which foods to eat, how to think about these foods and even the relationship we have with our foods.
Sometimes overlooked is a step beyond physical eating — we also consume a lot of what can be called 'food for the soul' or 'spirit food' such as thoughts, beliefs & attitudes. So, have we checked what we've been eating lately?
A steady diet of positive spirit food can enhance our spiritual growth & may even promote our awakening. Just as a healthy body is more flexible & able to cope with change — a healthy spirit is also more receptive to new perceptions. Our increasing awareness of the choices with regard to what we eat will ideally include both physical & metaphysical food.

Important News Flash: Chris won several of his own contests.
I am in Phoenix, right now, this moment. I am here to prove his pansy little ass wrong on a couple of the entries.
Before I do that however, I would like to say that I agree with many of the results. For example "Most likely not to date Hooley" Jill beat Greg, barely. Funny. Gregs wife is Barbara, who should have won stuff too. It is very difficult to believe any contest where Barbara doesn't win something.
Best SEO blogger:
That is correct, but there were errors as well. The errors are most simply defined as "things I was in and didn't win".
SEO's biggest flirt.
If I am not SEO's biggest flirt, then the world is stupider than than a dead lizard who is, in addition to being dead, also hugely stupid. I am romance personified, and I am a delicious flirt.
I do flirting like vomit does projectile. This should be mine dammit.
In fact the winner, Kimber, was actually the subject of a flirt that was one of the very first articles on SEOish. I said she looked like FreeFall . How dare I not win this. The world is pooey or this contest is wrong. One of the two. I think the world isn't pooey, so the contest must be the wrong thing.
By the way, Kimber, how YOU doin?
Most Likely to Close a Bar:
Chris (little girl) Hooley won this. Utter Bullshit. I have never met a bar in the last two decades that I didn't close. I am in Phoenix now to prove this dire injustice as what it is. Poop. It is poop, and I will prove it to be poop.
Best SEO handle/Nickname:
I will admit, grudgingly, that "Captain Thundercock" is a better name than feedthebot. But Feedthebot is cool too.
I have had enough of this. Let me explain to you how things work.
I am God and everyone else are baboons throwing shit at eachother.
Visually it looks like this…
Okay, it is good to clear that up.
Chris Hooley, time for drinking contest. I am in Phoenix, bring it on, punk.
By the way, if you don't know already, I heart Hooley, but this is a great excuse for a drunken night (nonetheless I think I might get some shit over this)
Update: Chris has responded . Hee hee

"When this building opened there was one sewing machine and one spool of thread. So you can blame me for all of this" said Bev Ohler, the head of Warren Wilson's costume shop, as we walked through what she and others in the theatre department call the "dungeon," the basement of Kittredge Theatre. ...
"It's everybody's attic" Ohler said. ...
Ohler first came to the college in 1955 and returned for good in 1958. She has been at the college longer than anybody else. She has seen the "dungeon" swell from nothing to a basement full of hundreds of costumes, many of which were made by Ohler and students on her costume shop work crew. She has had a hand in over 160 productions on campus. She watched the college transition from being a junior college to a senior college. She has seen the student body grow from 300 to 500 to 900 students. ...
"Everybody did things they loved in those early years at Warren Wilson," Ohler said. "If you did something and you were trained to do something and you could do something well, you just did it. Nobody cared about what they were compensated for. It was just a joy to be a part of it." ...
"That was always the key: Getting people to do the thing they loved to do." — Bev Ohler

"Beautiful spot"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
The hotel was on a beautiful spot of Key West...with the pool overlooking the ocean and their own lovely beach. Away from all the hustle/bustle of 0 Duvall, but very quick to get there when you wanted. The staff was excellent and very attentive. The food was very good, although I thought the breakfast was overpriced...especailly compared to all the other very nice places we tried for breakfast while there. It also would have been nice to have a lobby bar where you could relax after going out for the evening. Overall a very nice experience...would stay there again.

"I am interested in planting bushes/trees that will produce fruit that birds like to eat. Can you recommend any that will not take long to bear? I'm 76 years old." - Thanks, Nancy J
This e-mail made me smile. Nancy is not alone. I've had many requests for berry-bearing trees and shrubs, and most folks want quick results. Of course, the answer for quick results is to plant big. If you can afford to plant a more mature plant, it will produce more fruit quicker.
I have always wanted to attract birds to our yard by some means other than constantly filling feeders. It seems the feeders are merely smorgasbords for the squirrels around here, and I'm not great about cleaning them and keeping them filled. And my kids hate to fill bird feeders.
So, throughout the years, we've put in some pretty standard bird-attracting plants that are easy to grow, hardy and attractive to humans, as well. As I was working in the yard recently, I made a note of several that I suggest.
Robins love the beautyberries in our yard. We have Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion,' and I also love Callicarpa americana and Callicarpa dichotoma, also known as the Chinese beautyberry. The magnificent purple (yes, they are grape-popsicle purple) berries are spaced every inch or two along the stem. I use them in arrangements in the fall, if I can beat the birds to them.
The dwarf nandina (Nandina domestica 'Wood's dwarf' and 'Firepower') in our front circle attract cedar waxwings and robins while the flowers are attractive to bees. I must admit I was a bit upset when the starlings discovered these bushes - they scared all of the other birds away!
I've seen many songbirds around the viburnums out back - we have Korean Spice (Viburnum carlesii), Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) and Tea viburnum (Viburnum setigerum), and they are a big hit with the mockingbirds. (An interesting note from my bird book: The mockingbird is omnivorous. About half its diet consists of arthropods, including beetles, ants, bees, wasps and grasshoppers, but it will also eat earthworms and small lizards. In the fall, though, they will eat fruits, both wild and cultivated, and they love our viburnums.)
The Allegheny serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis) near our driveway always has a bird or two in its branches. In the fall, the small black-purple fruit is quite sweet.

NFL Pick: New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills
New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills Gambling Odds from Bookmaker
NFL Point Spread: Patriots -8
Over/Under: 54
Who would have thought that this would be a matchup of two unbeaten teams in week three? Just about everyone assumed New England would be 2-0 at this point, but most people probably thought the Bills would be 0-2. Buffalo crushed the Chiefs in week one and came back to down the Raiders last week. Can the upstart Bills topple the mighty Patriots?
If you haven't heard about Tom Brady's start to this season, then you are probably living under a rock. Brady has thrown for 940 yards in just two games, which is an NFL record. What's most impressive about this feat? I believe it is the fact that he has done this against two solid defenses in the Dolphins and the Chargers. Wes Welker and Deion Branch lead the team with 15 receptions each. Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski give the Patriots the best tight end tandem in the NFL. Gronkowski has three touchdowns in two games, and Hernandez has two touchdown receptions. BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead are sharing carries in the backfield for New England so far this season.
The Patriots defense has given up a ton of yardage through the air in the first couple weeks. Chad Henne carved them up in week one, and then Phillip Rivers did the same last weekend. This is a fairly young secondary, and they will probably be susceptible unless the Patriots front seven gets pressure on the opposing quarterback. The front line of this defense is very talented, and I expect them to do well against the run this year.
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been absolutely spectacular this year. The Harvard alum has seven touchdowns and just one interception so far this season. Fitzpatrick has a stellar quarterback rating of 109.6 in 2011. Fred Jackson is averaging 6.5 yards per carry so far this year, and the Bills ground game has been a pleasant surprise. C.J. Spiller is a great change of pace runner for Buffalo. Steve Johnson is quickly emerging as a big play threat on the outside. He hauled in a key touchdown in last week's win over Oakland. It is amazing to say this, but it seems that the Bills have plenty of weapons on offense right now.
The Bills defense has a lot of new faces this season. Shawne Merriman was picked up in the offseason, and he is now a starting linebacker for the team. Marcell Dareus was the team's first round draft pick, and he'll anchor the defensive line for the Bills. This unit has given up a decent amount of yards so far this year, but they have done a nice job keeping the opposition out of the end zone.
The Patriots are a better team than they were last year at this time. I know the Bills are improved as well, but they aren't in the same class as New England. Expect Brady and the Patriots to carve up the Bills secondary in this one.

Versed in various types of hair texture and wielding handpicked products by renowned brands such as Matrix in her homey salon confines, Nancy spruces up head threads after a thorough consultation, which may even include an invitation to do a shot afterward.
Salon owner Deborah Nava and husband Michael draw upon more than 40 years of combined of experience and wisdom gleaned from Deborah's stints with Sebastian of Beverly Hills and Allen Edwards of Newport Beach and Michael's training at the International Dior Academy to curate customized, face-flattering coifs. Though stylists customize cuts to flatter each client's style or conceal budding antlers, the shearing team specializes in youthful hairstyles, sculpting asymmetric looks, and applying vivid highlights. Stylists also festoon strands with the latest flourishes such as keratin treatments and feather extensions. Additionally, hair gurus happily instruct clients in ways to re-create trend-savvy styles at home while furnishing tips for extending the look's lifespan.
A honeycomb of private treatment rooms and 12 hairstyling stations at True Salon and Spa receive clients with open arms. Owners Sharon and Whitney Breault aim to please customers with hair services powered by Pureology and Dermalogica skincare products. As an added bonus, Sharon keeps the lobby stocked with the oldest of hospitality strategies: food. The scent of fresh coffee wafts through the air from its perch alongside a plate of cookies, and the rotating variety is based on "whatever I'm hungry for," Sharon laughs.
As clients sip wine and munch on hors d'oeuvres during after-hours appointments, a team of more than 20 stylists and aestheticians go to work on hair, skin, and disobedient wings. Skilled hands beautify tresses, smooth skin during aromatherapy body treatments, and customize botanical facials with skin analyses. "It's one of the higher-end salons in Elk Grove," Sharon says, referencing her top-notch aestheticians and pearl-gray decor.

As the master winemaker at the famed Beringer winery in Napa for over 32 years, Ed Sbragia has made wine from every great vineyard in Northern California. Sbragia Family Vineyards is a dream Ed has had for many years, a small, family-owned winery making limited lots of wine from blocks of his favorite grapes, including his family's own Dry Creek vineyards. With his son Adam, Ed also focuses on extremely small production wines from spectacular sites, such as this 2005 Rancho Del Oso Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

Wangerooge is one of the 32 Frisian Islands in the North Sea that are located close to the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. It is also a municipality in the district of Friesland in Lower Saxony in Germany. Wangerooge is the smallest of the 7 German East Frisian Islands. It is situated the furthest East of all islands and is the only one that belonged to the district of Oldenburg between 1815 and 1947, whereas Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog and Spiekeroog always belonged to the county of Frisland. As of the census of 2004, the island has 1,055 inhabitants. Especially in the summertime the island accommodates more than 7,000 visitors on a daily basis. The island is attractive to tourists due to the beaches, various recreation possibilities and the general laid-back atmosphere. The island's slogan underlines this, visible on a sign at the harbour, saying: "God created time, he never mentioned haste!" A yearly beach volleyball tournament, usually held in the ...

This Clone Commander was released in the Anti-Hailfire Droid Squad battlepack during The Clone Wars collection in August 2010. The set included 4 Star Wars figures, this generic and nameless Clone Commander, plus two generic Clones and an Aerial Recon Trooper. As of this review, Clone Troopers from Bantha Squad haven't had an appearance in the Clone Wars TV show yet.
The Clone is super articulated with 14 joints, including ball-joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, the waist, knees and ankles. The only swivel joints are in both legs. With so many adjustable parts below the waist, it's easy to balance the figure out nicely. The newly sculpted blasters fit very well into both of the holsters, and the figure can get a very good grip on it with the right hand. The left hand holds the blaster OK, but not particularly well. The chest armor, the helmet and the soft-plastic skirt are not removable.
The paint application on the Bantha Squad Clone Commander features light to dark greens, with the armor being in pristine white without battle damage or dirt on it. The figure's sculpt is fantastic, and even though this trooper has yet to be seen in a Clone Wars episode, it'll make a cool addition to your animated-style clone forces.

Book Description:Most terrorism experts agree: it is not "if" we are attacked again, but "when." Yet the assault has already happened. A silent battle is being waged on our nation every day. Not with guns and bombs, but via covert sources: Islamic charities, the ACLU, even presidential candidates. They are all pawns in a stealth holy war, unwittingly advancing the jihadist agenda not by violence but through endeavors designed to acclimate and subject us to Islamic law—just the way Osama bin Laden wants it. In Stealth Jihad, bestselling author Robert Spencer exposes how a silent but lethal movement is advancing on the United States and calls upon Americans to resist it—before it's too late.

Published at a time when the number of Catholic priests continues to dwindle and the power of bishops over the faithful continues to weaken, Garry Wills new book, Why Priests? may well accelerate both processes. A former Jesuit seminarian, Wills draws on his expertise in classical languages and his wide reading in ecclesiastical history to argue that the Catholic/Orthodox priesthood has been one long mistake (it would seem to follow that theres no point in calling a conclave to elect a papal replacement for Benedict XVI).
Wills bears down hard on the New Testament Letter to Hebrews (author unknown), the canonical source for the belief that Jesus considered himself a priest.
The text fails to support that proposition, Wills argues, and the corollary that Jesus left behind a priesthood to wield spiritual authority over lesser mortals has no scriptural leg to stand on.
Wills also attacks the belief that Jesus death was a sacrifice.
The main difficulty here was pointed out by Abelard in the 12th century, in a passage quoted by Wills: It seems extremely cruel and evil to demand the death of a person without guilt as a form of ransom ... and even more for God to accept his own Sons death as the means of returning all the world to his esteem. Wills aligns himself with a new body of Christian thinkers ... (who are) escaping the imported cult of human sacrifice initiated by the Letter to Hebrews.
While Biblical scholars debate the complexities of Wills reasoning, the ordinary reader can venture at least this far.
If Wills is right, he puts to rest two of the biggest anomalies in Judeo-Christian thought. The first is the tension between the notion of God as love and the notion of God as a needy tyrant whose ego must be fed by worship and sacrifice (animals in the Old Testament, Jesus in the New). The second controversy has to do with Jesus seemingly contradictory messages to the faithful. He is supposed to have assured all human beings that they are equal in the sight of God, saying, Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted, only to turn around and establish a quasi-aristocratic caste to tell us how to live our lives, yea, extending into our very bedrooms. For Wills, the second message is wholly manmade.
At the end, Wills addresses a question he says he gets all the time: Why stay a Catholic when you cast doubt on the Churchs basic composition? His crafty answer turns the question inside-out: No believing Christians should be read out of the Mystical Body of Christ, not even papists. It will hardly advance the desirable union of all believers if I begin by excluding those closest to me.

[JURIST] In a swift reversal from its announcement last week, the Pakistani government has taken away the passport of gang-rape victim Mukhtar Mai [BBC profile], according to an official from the US State Department speaking Tuesday. The official, who asked not to be named because of sensitive US-Pakistan relations, said Pakistan has taken possesion of Mai's passport just days after it had announced that she was free to travel [JURIST report] outside the country. A State Department spokesman declined to confirm the report but reaffirmed the US position that Mai should be free to travel. Mai, the victim of a gang-rape ordered by a village council, sought to leave Pakistan after 12 men involved in the case were freed [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The British government Tuesday weathered an attempt by opposition MPs and some Labour Party backbenchers to stop its proposed [JURIST report] Racial and Religious Hatred Bill [BBC backgrounder; bill text] when an amendment to block the bill failed by a vote of 303-246. The controversial measure has been criticized as a limit on free expression [JURIST report] that would go so far as to prohibit some religious jokes. UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke denied that the bill would have any chilling effect on religious humor and emphasized that the proposal was aimed at "hatred and incitement to hatred." Current UK laws aimed at curbing racial hatred have resulted in 76 prosecutions and 44 convictions over 20 years. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] The White House Tuesday snubbed a proposal to create an independent commission to look into detainee abuse at US detention facilities, especially Guantanamo. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan pointed to some 10 previous investigations [press release] and maintained that Defense Department and Pentagon investigations would continue as necessary with any guilty parties being held accountable. McClellan also noted that the Pentagon included outsiders in some of its investigations. The formation of an independent commission has been pushed by Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi [official website], citing concerns about US reputation abroad and particularly in the Muslim world. AP has more.
[JURIST] Leading Tuesday's corporations and securities law news, the New York Stock Exchange [corporate website] has announced that it is investigating the possibility that more traders have acted inappropriately. In April, 17 NYSE traders were charged with securities fraud violations [JURIST report]. Reuters has more. In other corporations and securities news...
[JURIST] Leading Tuesday's states brief, the Indiana Supreme Court heard oral arguments today [RP recorded audio] on whether abortion clinics should be allowed to pursue their challenge to the state's abortion "implied consent" law [text], which requires women seeking an abortion to have in-person counseling and then wait at least eighteen hours before having the procedure. An attorney for the abortion clinics argued that the clinics should be allowed to pursue their challenge because privacy is a core right under the state constitution and extends to women seeking to terminate their pregnancies. The state argued that privacy is not a specific right enforceable by the courts, and that the legislature has broad discretion to protect state citizens. The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled [opinion] that the clinics could continue their challenge after determining that privacy is a core issue that extends to all citizens. AP has more. In other states news ...
[JURIST] Leading Tuesday's international brief, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has appointed Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka [official profile], Executive Director of the UN Human Settlements Programme [official website], as Special Envoy to Zimbabwe [government website] to investigate the continuing mass evictions [JURIST report] taking place under Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe [Wikipedia profile] and "Operation Restore Order". Mugabe reportedly agreed Tuesday to allow Tibaijuka access to the country and the right to inspect affected areas. She is expected to arrive sometime next week from Nairobi, Kenya. JURIST's Paper Chase has continuing coverage of Zimbabwe [JURIST news archive]. Read the official UN Press Release. Read the UN News Centre official report. ZimOnline has local coverage.In other international legal news ...
[JURIST] A military court sentenced 12 French soldiers to prison for up to one year on Tuesday for robbing an Ivory Coast bank [Africa News report] regularly while stationed with France's Licorne Force [Wikipedia entry, in French] backing up a UN peacekeeping mission [official website]. The Licorne forces are supporting the UN forces [JURIST report] in Côte d'Ivoire [Wikipedia profile], where troops are needed to enforce a ceasefire and disarmament plan [BBC News report] between the government supported south and rebels in the north. The soldiers admitted to most of the charges against them, leading to a prison sentence of 12 months for the eight men charged with theft and two to eight months for the four accomplices to the robberies. AP has more.
[JURIST] Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet [JURIST news archive; BBC profile] suffered a stroke Tuesday and was taken to the hospital a day before the Santiago Appeals Court was to consider whether he could be tried for crimes against his regime's opponents. Pinochet, who reportedly collapsed while eating breakfast and lost conciousness, was to face the court as it decided whether to remove his immunity and try him for involvement in "Operation Colombo" [BBC report] which resulted in the murder and abduction of many of his political opponents. It is the second stroke Pinochet has suffered in a month and his son claims he is not able to comprehend the charges against him. AFP has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit Tuesday ruled [opinion, PDF text] that the US Securities and Exchange Commission [official website] should reconsider its rule that requires mutual funds to be run by boards with independent chairmen. The SEC originally enacted the rule to combat trading and sales abuses in the industry. Citing costs, the US Chamber of Commerce had opposed the new standard along with firms like Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Group, run by corporate "insiders.". The court only asked that the rule be reviewed, so it is possible that it will not be thrown out completely. Bloomberg has more.
[JURIST] Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski [official website] said Tuesday that holding a planned referendum in Poland on the EU constitution [JURIST news archive] in October was "unrealistic." Kwasniewski, set to leave office after his second term expires this October, said he would allow his successor to decide when a referendum should be held, but added that it certainly would not be this year. The decision follows speculation that the vote would be delayed [JURIST report] because of the charter's recent rejection by French [JURIST report] and Dutch [JURIST report] voters. AFP has more.
[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union [advocacy website] released a report [PDF text] Tuesday describing what it calls an "assault on scientific and academic freedom" by the Bush Administration. The report purports to detail how the US government has attacked the free exchange of technology information in the name of homeland security by imposing more restrictions on the flow of scientific data [ACLU press release]. Since September 11, the act of classifying information for reasons of Homeland Security has increased greatly, affecting many areas of science. AP has more.
[JURIST] A federal appeals court in Chicago has thrown out a lawsuit filed by student journalists at Governors State University [official website] who claimed that the Dean of Student Affair's demand to review their newspaper before it went to press was a violation of their First Amendment rights. The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit [official website] ruled Monday that Dean Patricia Carter could not be held responsible for "constitutional uncertainties" and that the University had some discretion to regulate the content to be published because it supported the paper. Read the opinion [PDF]. The journalists, now all graduates of the university, plan to appeal. AP has more. The Student Press Law Center provides extensive background materials on the case.
[JURIST] Edgar Ray Killen [JURIST news archive] has been convicted of three counts of manslaughter in connection with the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers. The conviction came on the 41st anniversary of the rights workers disappearance and a day after jurors reported being deadlocked at 6-6. Killen faces upt to 20 years in prison for each of the three manslaughter counts. AP has more.
[JURIST] Attorney General Alberto Gonzales urged judges on Tuesday to adhere to federal sentencing guidelines, citing a growing disparity since the US Supreme Court invalidated mandatory guidelines in US v. Booker [JURIST report]. Addressing the National Center for Victims of Crime [advocacy website], he said he has seen a "drift toward lesser sentences". A report by the US Sentencing Commission [official website] says 11.4 percent of sentences since the ruling do not comply with the guidelines. Pending legislation in Congress would set new mandatory minimums, but former Attorney General Edwin Meese and former Deputy AG Philip Heymann are urging Congress not to rush into making changes. Read the full text of Gonzales' speech [US DOJ transcript]. AP has more.
[JURIST] In a speech to the Philadelphia Bar Association Monday Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Arlen Specter [official website] implied that he does not expect to see the resignation of any Supreme Court Justice by the end of the current term. Specter based his comments on observations of Chief Justice Rehnquist [official profile], who is battling thyroid cancer, saying he "looked really good" and had "a strong suspicion that he may be with us a while" [Philadelphia Inquirer report]. Specter also commented that while the judicial filibuster compromise averted a potential disaster, "we're not beyond the issue" and spoke in favor of embryonic stem cell research. Law.com has more.
[JURIST] Iran's Interior Ministry [official website, in Arabic] Tuesday warned of the danger of fraud in Friday's scheduled run-off presidential vote, with a spokesman referring darkly to "some people who are ready to do anything to stay in power." The Ministry spokesman also alluded to fraud in the first round last Friday, blaming "people belonging to institutions whose job is to protect people and reinforce order". The statement appeared to contradict an earlier assertion by Iran's Guardian Council [BBC profile] finding no fraud in the first round of the voting. The Council has, however, authorized a partial recount [JURIST report] of first-round ballots. The Iranian Judiciary said Tuesday that approximately 150 violations of electoral laws [IRNA report] had been reported in last Friday's vote and would be investigated. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Abdel Hussein Shandal, Iraq's Sunni justice minister, accused the US on Tuesday of trying to delay Iraqi efforts to interrogate Saddam Hussein. While he said he expects Saddam's trial for war crimes [JURIST news archive] to be over by the end of the year [AHN report], he also said the US has been hampering efforts to question him and that "it seems there are lots of secrets they want to hide" [Aljazeera report]. US officials had no comment about his remarks, but have previously warned against rushing the trial and letting it interfere with the constitutional process. AP has more.4:25 PM ET - Hours after Shandal's comments, Saddam Hussein legal advisers Giovanni di Stefano criticized the Justice Minister from commenting on the trial, stating that "the Iraqi government should desist from making political statements." Di Stefano also repeated the defense call for the trial to be held in a safe country like Sweden. AP has more.
[JURIST] A federal immigration judge ruled on Monday that John Demjanjuk [Wikipedia profile], who lost his US citizenship [JURIST report] for serving as a guard at a concentration camp, can be deported. The case dates back to 1977 [Cleveland Plain Dealer report], when the Justice Department originally asked for his citizenship to be revoked. That was granted in 1981. In 1983, he was sentenced to death in Israel for war crimes, but the Israeli Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 1993 and he returned to the US. His citizenship was restored in 1998 and proceedings began against him again. Demjanjuk has until June 30 to file motions [AP report] against his deportation. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Luxembourg leaders say they will stick to their original plan for a July 10 referendum on the embattled European Union constitution [JURIST news archive]. Following popular rejection of the charter in France and the Netherlands, seven other European countries have thusfar postponed similar votes [JURIST report] and the ratification deadline has been extended to at least 2007 [JURIST report]. Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker [official website], whose country has held the EU Presidency [official website] for the past tumultuous six months, says he will resign [AFP report] if his country votes against it. Opinion polls show the issue getting tighter, with the Yes side holding a 10-point lead, down from 18 points since May. Xinhua has more.
[JURIST] British Attorney General Lord Peter Goldsmith [official profile] Tuesday announced a government plan to abolish jury trials in complicated fraud cases. The move follows the collapse of a fraud trial [Guardian report] earlier this year, partly because of jury problems. Goldsmith estimates about 15 to 20 trials each year would be affected by the proposal, and denied that the proposal reflected any government judgment on the jury system as a whole [Telegraph report]. The plan faces stiff opposition from both major parties in Parliament and the Criminal Bar Association [profession website]. A vote on the plan is expected in the fall. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] According to documents obtained by the Associated Press Monday, the Transportation Security Administration [official website] collected private information about commercial airline passengers who flew in June 2004, despite Congressional instructions not to do so. The documents indicate the information was gathered to test Secure Flight [official website], a passenger pre-screening program which, along with its predecessor CAPPS II [JURIST report], has been criticized for failing to protect private personal information. The documents will be published in the Federal Register [official website] this week. AP has more.
[JURIST] A Turkish court sentenced Metin Kaplan [BBC profile] Monday to life imprisonment for plotting to kill members of the country's ruling elite by flying a plane into the mausoleum of Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish republic. Kaplan's lawyer did not agree with the ruling, stating "we believe such a decision was reached beforehand" and that there will be an appeal. The so-called "Caliph of Cologne" was extradited from Germany to face charges in Turkey [JURIST report] in 2004 after serving a four-year prison term in Germany for ordering the murder of a rival religious leader. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The Cambodian government announced Tuesday that it will accept Japan's offer of $11 million [JURIST report] to fund a shortfall in the estimated budget for trying former leaders of the communist Khmer Rouge [Wikipedia backgronder] regime, considered responsible for the genocide of the "killing fields" in Cambodia [Yale CGP backgrounder] after taking power in the 1970s. Opposition groups in Cambodia had initially called for public contributions [JURIST report] when Cambodia was able to offer only about $1 million of its own money towards the trials and international donations fell short. Japan had already committed to paying half of the tribunal's $70 million cost, which is also being defrayed [JURIST report] by major contributions from France, Britain, and Australia. Radio Australia has more.
[JURIST] US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice [official website] called for democratic reforms by US allies across the Middle East [text; recorded audio] in a major foreign policy address in Cairo Monday, and publicly called on Saudi Arabia to release "three individuals...imprisoned for peacefully petitioning the government." Rice was referring to Ali al-Demaini, Abdullah al-Hamed and Matruk al-Faleh [Middle East Online report], activists sentenced to six to nine years in May for demanding a constitutional monarchy. The activists had also allegedly questioned the king's role as head of the judiciary. After talks, Saudi Prince Saud parried the request to free the trio by saying that "[the activists] are in the hands of the court. The government cannot interfere until the court action is taken in this regard." AFP has more.
[JURIST] The California Supreme Court upheld state sentencing guidelines [opinion, PDF] on Monday, ruling that allowing judges to impose a discretionary range of sentences for various crimes did not give them too much power. The ruling follows the recent US Supreme Court holding in US v. Booker [JURIST report], which invalidated federal sentencing rules insofar as those had allowed judges to increase sentences based on facts not decided by a jury. A convicted child molester's sentence was upheld by the California court because they found that the trial judge didn't base the highest sentence on a factual determination he made. AP has more.
[JURIST] The International Whaling Commission [official website] voted 29-23 against lifting its ban on commercial whaling Tuesday at its 2005 annual meeting [agenda]. Japan had recently threatened to leave the organization [JURIST report] if it didn't allow for some sort of sanctioned whaling. The ban has been in place since 1986. Only Norway continues to practice commercial whaling in spite of the ban, but Japan's practice of research whaling [government press release] has drawn criticism as being disguised commercial whaling. AP has more.
[JURIST] Moroccan Abdelghani Mzoudi [Wikipedia profile], acquitted by a Hamburg court in February on charges of helping the September 11 hijackers, flew home Tuesday to avoid deportation. Hamburg city officials had given Mzoudi two weeks to leave the country, or face arrest or deportation after the June 9 confirmation of the acquittal on appeal [JURIST report]. Hamburg authorities have said Mounir El Motassadeq [Wikipedia profile; JURIST report] will face the same treatment if he is acquitted of complicity in the attacks. A new German law, introduced January 1, makes it easier to expel suspected foreign militants. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Michael Schiavo buried the cremated remains of his late wife Terri Schiavo [JURIST news archive] Monday at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park [funerary website] in Clearwater, Florida. He had previously said he would bury her remains in his family plot in Pennsylvania [JURIST report]. Schiavo's parents were not notified of the interment. Michael inscribed the words "I Kept my Promise" at the bottom of his wife's gravemarker, listed the date of her 1990 collapse as the date his wife "Departed this Earth," and the date that she actually died as the date she was "at peace." Terri Schiavo's death [JURIST rpeort] on March 31 this year ended an intense legal and political struggle between right-to-life and right-to-die advocates over the status and interpretation of her wishes concerning her care while in an apparent persistent vegetative state.

Ecuador Volcanoes: Grom & Team 100% on Cotopaxi Summit!
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 19, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 19,348'
Summit on Cotopaxi!!!
We awoke to start our climb from the Refugio at 16,000' in a misty cloud, but as we ascended the thick fog gave way to clear skies and stars. Our ascent took a direct route that brought 100% of our team to the summit of Cotopaxi">Cotopaxi just as the sun began to rise.
We had a calm and relatively warm hour on the summit to make some calls and take photos while enjoying impressive views of the crater and surrounding volcanoes.
We are now all safely back in Quito and just returned from a delicious celebration dinner!
We are looking forward to being home with our friends and family soon!

Ecuador Volcanoes: Team is Rested And Ready
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 18, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 16,000'
After almost two days of rest at the lovely Chilcabamba the team is feeling refreshed and excited for Cotopaxi. We had a leisurely breakfast and then finished our packing before loading up the van and heading uphill to reach the parking lot that allows us easy access to the mountain. The parking lot sits at about 15,000' and the climbers hut is just about a 1,000' above that. Our timing was perfect today as we hiked to the hut just after a small snow squall and shortly before the weather came back in. Lucky for us!
Our plan tonight is to get up around 11pm again and hopefully be climbing shortly after midnight. I'm expecting the climb take us around 7 hours if all goes according to plan.
Keep your phones nearby tomorrow morning. A lucky winner will make a summit phone call if the weather allows.
Wish us luck

Ecuador Volcanoes: Grom & Team Rest Day after Cayambe Summit
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 17, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 12,000'
We all enjoyed a restful, relaxing, and rejuvenating day off at the Chilcabama Eco Lodge just outside the Cotopaxi National Park. The Hacienda sits at about 12,000', which after our summit on Cayambe feels like sea level!
Our team took advantage of the thicker air with a variety of afternoon activities. Some of us participated in a cribbage tournament, some took naps, a few motivated folks went for a scenic jog, and we all spent time wandering the property taking in the beautiful plants and wildlife.
During the pre-dinner hours we discussed packing strategy and the game plan for Cotopaxi, and are excited and prepared to tackle our next objective tomorrow.
Wish us luck!

Ecuador Volcanoes: Grom & Team Summit Cayambe!
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 16, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 18,997'
We did it, most of us anyway, but I have to wonder if those that turned around short of the summit didn't make a better decision. I say that because it was one of the toughest days I've had on Cayambe in a long time. It was cold, windy, and snowy almost the entire day. The conditions were safe to climb in, but it was far from enjoyable. Six of our nine climbers made the summit and the three that chose to head down early did so because I believe they simply weren't enjoying it.
We started our day rather early with breakfast at 11pm and were walking shortly after midnight. The first hour of the climb went rather smoothly as we made our way to the start of the glacier. We took a short break to adjust layers, put our crampons on and rope up for the ascent. It seemed like as soon as we started walking the wind picked up and the snow began to blow. Unfortunately for us the blowing snow was coming straight down the glacier and directly into our faces. As we painfully made our way uphill, we had to stop and put on our Gore-tex to protect us from the conditions. We slowly battled our way for the next few hours taking short breaks and finally after seven trying hours stood on the summit. It was so windy on top we only stayed for just a few minutes before quickly descending back down the glacier.
Once safely back at camp the team made quick work of getting packed up and we headed down valley to thicker air and a wonderful cafe where we filled bellies before heading south to our home at Chilcabamba for the next few days. I'm sure everyone will sleep soundly tonight and we are looking forward to taking a rest day tomorrow.
Everyone is in good spirits!

Ecuador Volcanoes: Grom & Team Ready for Cayambe Summit Bid
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 15, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 15,300'
Greetings everyone back home. This is Casey Grom checking in from the RMI Ecuador Volcanoes expedition. Just wanted to let you know that everyone's doing fantastic. We are up here at the Refugio or the hut this sits at the base of glacier on Cayambe. We just finished dinner and packed our bags for tomorrow's climb. We took the day to get up early and go for a nice hike up to the glacier to do a little climbing review. Everyone did fantastic. The weather is looking pretty good. It was incredibly nice today; sunny almost all day. A little bit of clouds now but the forecast is pretty good. So we are going to be getting up about 11 PM and hopefully walking a little after midnight. We'll do our best to check in from the summit. I'm anticipating is is going to take us about seven hours to reach the summit. Sorry we are having some technology difficulties with charging some of our iPhones up here but will hopefully have some pictures sent tomorrow when we descend after our climb and we get cell reception or Wi-Fi access. Everything's great and looking forward to sending some pictures to you guys. Thanks.

Ecuador Volcanoes: Team Takes Acclimatization Hike
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 13, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Hi Everyone!
We are enjoying a relaxing evening here at the beautiful La Casa Sol near the city of Otavalo.
We left the comforts of Quito this morning and headed into the mountains (where many of us actually feel more comfortable!) for our second acclimatization hike. As we watched the city disappear in the rear view mirror we traded well paved roads for cobblestones and washboard. The van bumped along, and our driver skillfully negotiated the hazards of rural driving… while we all fought the urge to hold our breath and cross our fingers. Maybe we should have, because our luck soon ran out and Friday the 13th delivered us a logistical sucker punch.
With a loud crack, our vehicle let us know it was done going uphill for the day. A dislodged cobblestone had broken the axel and stopped us, quite suddenly, in our tracks.
Fortunately, our group has the perfect easy going attitude, and after getting the baggage and van transfer sorted out, we shouldered our daypacks and set off for some slightly more oxygenated exercise. Nearly three hours and five miles later we arrived at the trailhead!
One of our local guides, Esteban (nicknamed Topo), had been busy reorganizing our logistics while we strolled, and he and a few others arrived to our rescue shortly thereafter in shining Toyota Hilux's.
Delivered safely to our hacienda we enjoyed a delicious dinner and are now all busy packing our gear and getting organized and prepared to tackle our first big objective. Wish us luck as we travel towards Cayambe tomorrow!

Ecuador's Volcanoes: Team Acclimatizes with hike of Rucu Pichincha
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 13, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 15,000
Hello again everyone
Today we had a very nice hike to help with our acclimatization on a nearby peak called Pichincha. It is one of the many local peaks that is situated above Quito and is used by many climbers to help adjust to the higher altitude here in Ecuador. We made use of the gondolas to help us gain access to around 12,500 ft then hiked the additional 2,500 ft to the summit. It took our team roughly 3 hours to gain the top after a little scrambling up the final bit to reach our high point thus far. It was a personal high point for a few of us, and the entire team did a fantastic job. After spending a bit of time on the summit and getting are photos we descended all the back to our hotel for a brief nap before dinner.
Everyone is in good spirits and looking forward to tomorrow.

Ecuador Volcanoes: Casey Grom & Team Arrive in Quito
Posted by: Casey Grom, Solveig Waterfall | December 11, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Hello from Quito everyone!
After some very long flights the team has arrived safe and sound here in Ecuador. We started our day with a group meeting where we shared a little about each other and discussed the plans for our expedition. We then headed out on a city tour which was mostly spent visiting the colonial old town and it's many churches built in the 17th century. We also visited the Virgin de Quito, which is a statue that overlooks the entire city and is similar in importance to our Statue of Liberty.
After our tour we headed back to our hotel to allow the team some time to rest before meeting and discussing the gear needed for our upcoming climbs. After making sure everyone was well equipped with the essentials we took a short walk to a nearby restaurant and patiently waited for all of our food to arrive. The food was delicious and everyone left with smiles on their faces.
It looks like a great group of people and everyone is looking forward to stretching their legs tomorrow.

Mexico's Volcanoes: Team Descends From Orizaba
Posted by: J.J. Justman, Solveig Waterfall | October 26, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
We are back from the mountain safe and sound. It was a wild morning and it kept rolling throughout the early morning. First, we woke up to a constant rain at the hut. Solveig and I stayed up and kept checking the weather for improvements. And alas at 2 am the weather cleared. The team was so excited to climb.
We donned our packs and began our ascent. It was a beautiful early morning on Orizaba. As we inched our way up to the lower glacier I began to notice the snow underneath me doing something unusual. It was settling with a giant whoomph. A clear indication of snow instability. Solveig and I conducted a few snow stability tests and it wasn't looking good. As a matter of fact the snow settling under my feet was the worst I felt.
We contemplated a bit and it was an easy decision. Orizaba was not safe to climb. It can be disappointing not making the summit but with what the team experienced they all understood. Safety is number One. And as Sr. Reyes mentioned as he picked us up…Orizaba isn't going anywhere. We will climb it another day.
