Trenton – On the eve of the Live Earth Concerts for a Climate in Crisis Governor Jon S. Corzine signed legislation adopting proactive and ambitious goals for the reduction of green house gas emissions in New Jersey. The legislation calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, approximately a 20 percent reduction, followed by a further reduction of emissions to 80 percent below 2006 levels by 2050. New Jersey is only the third state in the nation make greenhouse gas reduction goals law and these provisions were previously set in Executive Order 54 which the Governor signed in February."In the absence of leadership on the federal level, the burden of reducing greenhouse gases has now fallen upon the states," Governor Corzine said. "I'm proud that New Jersey is one of the first among a handful of states that are leading the nation to combat global warming and I hope more states will follow in our model."
To reach this goal, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will work with the Board of Public Utilities (BPU), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and other stakeholders to evaluate methods to meet and exceed the 2020 target reductions. The DEP Commissioner will make specific recommendations to meet the targets while taking into account the economic benefits and costs of implementing these recommendations. This evaluation will be done in conjunction with the state's pending Energy Master Plan, which will incorporate the new greenhouse gas reduction goal.
The legislation calls on the DEP to develop a 1990 greenhouse gas emission inventory as well as a system for monitoring current greenhouse gas levels so that progress toward goals can be accurately tracked. DEP will report progress towards the target reductions to the Governor and the Legislature no less than every two years and if necessary will recommend additional actions to reach the targets. To further reduce emissions, the order calls for the Director of Energy Savings to develop targets and implementation strategies for reducing energy use by state facilities and vehicles fleets.
The bill, A3301, was sponsored in the Assembly by Assemblypersons Linda Stender (D-Middlesex, Somerset, Union), Valerie Vainieri Huttle (D-Bergen), Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer), Linda R. Greenstein (D-Mercer, Middlesex), and John F. McKeon (D-Essex). The legislation sponsored in the Senate by Senators Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex), Thomas H. Kean Jr. (R-Essex, Morris, Somerset, Union), and Bob Smith (D-Middlesex, Somerset).
"Global warming is the issue that will define the early 21st century," said Senator Barbara Buono, D-Middlesex. "It touches every aspect of American life - economics, the environment, international security - and is a problem New Jersey can no longer afford to avoid. Our children and grandchildren will look back to today and recognize it as one of the major turning points in the battle against climate change."
"Today, New Jersey becomes a leading force in the global fight against climate change and promoting new technologies and strategies to counteract greenhouse gas emissions," said Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-Union). "Our country has come to a critical juncture on global warming: we can take action now to protect public health and our environment, or we can dawdle and pay a steep price later for failing to act. President Bush may be in denial about global warming, but New Jersey isn't."
"We owe it to our children and grandchildren to think big and tackle global warming head-on," said Suzanne Leta Liou, Global Warming and Clean Energy Advocate for Environment New Jersey, a statewide, nonprofit, nonpartisan environmental advocacy organization. "By requiring ground-breaking, science-based reductions of our global warming pollution, New Jersey is providing a recipe for success for elected officials across the nation. We're not waiting another day. We're setting the stage for immediate action and long-lasting change."
"Because of its strong stand against global warming, New Jersey will be a laboratory of innovation for environmental benefit – a role that plays to its strength as one of the world's leading centers for technology-driven economic growth," Ralph Izzo, Chairman, President and CEO of Public Service Enterprise Group said. "PSEG is ready to do its part to help New Jersey respond to this global issue. We look forward to partnering with Governor Corzine, his administration and our customers to tackle climate change and achieve a greener and healthier planet."

Artist hopes to preserve history through sculpture
Date: January 3, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Greg Marra, a classically trained sculptor, wanted to carve his niche within his line of work, so, the New Jersey native combined his two loves: preserving history and molding clay into works of art.
A practicing artist since 1998, Marra was originally a painter, who traveled to Europe to study. He didn't begin sculpting until he experienced an eye-opening encounter with another artist in 2001.
"I shook the hand of a well-known painter, and I knew I wasn't meant to paint," says Marra. "I needed to do something more physical. It seemed simpler to me — it's one color; it's three-dimensional. It (scuplting) was my calling."
Marra says that when it comes to keeping history alive, the power of a statue shouldn't be underestimated.
"Statues are extremely powerful," he says. "They can define and conclude how people perceive an entire war. They can set the tone for the rest of the country."
In 2008, while Marra was in Zohor, Slovakia, he experienced this power firsthand. He was working for a construction company, owned by his wife's family, when one of the employees told him about an American B-24 bomber who had crashed nearby during World War II.
Driven by his love of history, Marra went to see if he could find the crash site. Much to his surprise, he discovered a monument had been built to commemorate the airmen who died in the crash. It had become overgrown with brush.
"I just felt compelled to clean it up and hang up American and Slovak flags," says Marra. "I could feel the impact, smell the jet fuel and sense the energy at the monument. It made me think about the sacrifice of our soldiers."
After doing some research, Marra learned that after the plane crashed in 1944, the people of Zohor conducted a secret funeral to honor the deceased pilots. By recognizing members of the U.S. military, Marra says the Slovaks were taking a big risk. In 1995, the monument was erected, and a tombstone, which had been hidden since the war, resurfaced and was added to the memorial.
In November, Marra received a phone call from a Pennsylvania man named Ray Hadden, whose father was the tail gunner in the downed bomber. As Hadden was doing online research on his father, he stumbled upon an article detailing Marra's efforts to clean up the monument. Hadden thanked Marra and informed him that none of the airmen's families had known the memorial existed.
After their conversation, Marra decided that he wants to thank the people of Zohor for their bravery by building two matching statues — one to be placed in each country.
"I think a gesture like that would be really special," says Marra. "Everyone knows that the Statue of Liberty was a gift to us. Shouldn't we get in the habit of doing the same? I think people need to know the story of what a little town in Europe did for us 68 years ago."

- Your feature article, highlighting Greg Marra, was so interesting and inspiring. The combination of his artistic talent and passion by acknowledging the toils of war through sculpture creates living legacies for generations to reflect and remember.
History is more than a lesson from a book, but, a real life event fought by men and women heroic to fight for their dreams. The poignant story of Greg Marra, discovering the statute in Zohar, Slovakia, cleaning i up and bringing to "life" those that served by his endeavors was a joyful story.
Thanks so much for sharing. Kudos to Greg.

New Milestone For Twitter As @LadyGaga Becomes First User To Reach 15 Million Followers
Lady Gaga has become the first user to reach 15 million followers on Twitter, accumulating her latest million, whom she refers to as her Little Monsters, in just 28 days.
This is a new personal best for Gaga – her previous record was adding one million new followers in 31 days between July and August of this year.
At her current speed, Gaga should reach 16 million followers by November 27, and 20 million between March and April 2012.
Back in May, Lady Gaga became the first Twitter user to reach 10 million followers.
Gaga, who is currently in India, celebrated reaching 15 million in her usual style.
Gaga's closest competitor on Twitter is Canadian teeny bopper Justin Bieber, who after narrowing the gap to almost half a million back in April, is now well over a million followers behind.

Repetti Co-Authors Partnership Income Taxation
5/26/05--Boston College Law School Professor James R. Repetti recently co-authored
the latest edition of Partnership Income Taxation with Notre Dame professor
Alan Gunn (Foundation Press).
The book creates an easy to understand introduction to an extremely complex body of law. "A "simplified" description of partnership taxation would be so inaccurate and misleading that it would become useless," said Repetti. "Weve attempted to make the subject accessible not by paraphrasing the rules, but by including numerous illustrations that are as straightforward as possible."
The book is focused on simple partnerships holding few assets and engaging in routine transactions. It places the rules in context by pointing out the purposes of the statute and regulations and presenting background information about practical matters, such as how partnerships maintain capital accounts and how non-recourse financing works. Using many examples, it then shows the operation of the rules in everyday cases encountered by practitioners.
"Our goal has been to give students background material and illustrations so that they can begin to understand and work with a statute that was drafted for, and by, experienced practitioners," Repetti said.
Repetti has also just seen the release of the fifth edition of Introduction to United States International Taxation, which he co-authored with BC Law Professor Hugh Ault and former BC Law Professor Paul McDaniel (Aspen Publishers). The book includes all of the major administrative and legislative developments through 2004 and all of the 2004 Job Acts and their impact on US international tax rules. The fifth edition can contribute an international tax perspective to any general tax course.
Professor Repetti teaches many different courses in tax law at Boston College Law School. He has authored or co-authored a number of texts in addition to the two mentioned above, among them Federal Wealth Transfer Taxation and Problems in Federal Wealth Transfer Taxation.
Among his many professional and community activities, Professor Repetti has served as a consultant to the Internal Revenue Service, and has appeared as a commentator in publications such as the Christian Science Monitor, Forbes Magazine, the Wall Street Journal and Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. He also recently organized and moderated a symposium at Boston College Law School entitled, "The State of the Federal Income Tax: Rates, Progressivity, and Budget Processes," articles from which were published in the Boston College Law Review.
Professor Repetti received his B.A. from Harvard University, and his MBA and J.D. degree from Boston College Law School.

The University is progressively introducing new course structures for selected courses from 2010.
The structures will differ depending on whether you commenced a course in 2010, or whether you began prior to 2010.
To ensure we are showing you the correct course information, please make a selection below.
Once inside the handbook site you can change your choice between old and new courses at any time using the coloured link on the top menu bar.
Psychology is a diverse discipline concerned with the scientific study of human experience and behaviour. It considers explanations and causes of behaviour and examines the modification of behaviour as a result of experience and information received from the environment. Psychologists study both normal and abnormal behaviour and the mental processes of individuals from infancy to old age.
In the first year of undergraduate study, students are introduced to the core areas in the discipline including developmental, social, physiological and clinical psychology, personality, sensation and perception, learning, memory and cognition, research and methodology, and individual differences. Practical work at introductory level provides illustrative examples of research in psychology and introduces students more generally to scientific methodology in psychology. At intermediate and advanced level, more advanced study in the core areas of psychology is provided as well as applied topics, such as educational, health, forensic, environmental and organisational psychology. Practical work is an important component of the program providing students with a sound knowledge of research design and data analysis in the context of psychological investigations.
Graduates with a major in psychology are employed in areas such as health and human services, social services and community welfare, correctional services, education, employment and training, marketing and management. Psychology graduates can also choose to undertake further studies either in psychology, with a view to postgraduate professional training or a research career, or in a related field such as teaching, counselling, management or criminology.
Psychology can be studied within a range of degree programs. A Psychology major is generally studied within an Arts or Science degree, or the specialist degrees in Behavioural Science and Psychology, but many students enrolled in degree programs such as Business, Computing, Education, Fine Art, Health Science, Medical Research, Social Science and Social Science (Police Studies) also choose to study Psychology as a major, minor or elective subject.
Students planning a career in psychology need to complete an accredited 3-year sequence of study in psychology, followed by an accredited fourth year program, to be able to progress to postgraduate training in professional or research psychology. An accredited sequence can be studied within the general degree programs for Arts, Science and Business, as well as the specialist degrees in Behavioural Science and Psychology. A four-year accredited program in Psychology is available in both Hobart and Launceston. Students are advised to seek advice from staff in the School of Psychology or a relevant Faculty Officer prior to enrolment.
Career outcomes
The skills and knowledge gained by studying psychology - for example, dealing with people, investigating, analysing and objective reporting, are relevant to almost all fields of employment. Psychology graduates find employment in counselling, educational guidance, clinical psychology, defence forces, forensic psychology, child and adolescent services, disability services, vocational and psychological rehabilitation, occupational psychology, sports psychology and research.
Professional associations
Undergraduate and postgraduate psychology courses offered by the School of Psychology are accredited by the Australian Psychological Society. For those wishing to work as a psychologist, a four-year degree (BPsych, BBehavSc, BA or BSc with Honours) followed by two years of postgraduate training or appropriate supervised experience are required for registration under The Psychologists Registration Act of Tasmania. Membership of the Australian Psychological Society, however, requires a four-year degree followed by at least a two year postgraduate degree.
Theme area
Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour, human experience and mental processes, and the professional application of that knowledge to help individuals and groups in clinical settings, in education, in employment and in the community. Programs of study in psychology fit within the Population and Health and Community Place and Change theme areas.
Undergraduate study
An accredited 3-year sequence in psychology is available through the following degree programs:
Arts - BA or BA/LLB or BA/BBus
Science - BSc or BA/BSc
Behavioural Science - BBehavSc
The BA and BSc are three-year general degree programs which equip graduates with a breadth of knowledge and skills relevant to a range of careers. They provide an opportunity for students to undertake a major or minor in Psychology in conjunction with study in other Arts or Science disciplines. These degrees also provide preparation for fourth year study in psychology (honours), and postgraduate study in areas such as counselling, criminology, rehabilitation counselling, and teaching.
The BBehavSc is a new specialist three-year degree program with a broad vocational orientation, designed to equip graduates with knowledge and skills relevant to a range of careers. It allows students to complete a major or minor in a related discipline, eg, neuroscience, law, human movement, sociology, criminology and management, in conjunction with their psychology major. For example, a student interested in working in the area of substance abuse could include a major or minor in health science in conjunction with their psychology major. Students can also choose to complete their second major in behavioural science or behavioural neuroscience. The BBehavSc provides preparation for fourth year study in psychology (honours) and other areas such as counselling, criminology and corrections, health management, marketing, rehabilitation counselling, and social work.
An accredited 4-year sequence in psychology is available only through the Bachelor of Psychology (BPsych), an integrated four-year specialist degree. BPsych students complete two majors, one in psychology and one in either behavioural science or behavioural neuroscience, and undertake a minor and elective study in areas that are closely linked to the discipline and profession of psychology, eg, neuroscience, law, human physiology, sociology, criminology and management. The BPsych provides a thorough coverage of core psychology topics and applied areas as an introduction to professional specialisations in clinical, health, educational, organisational and forensic psychology, neuroscience and research. There is a limited quota of places for entry to the first year of the BPsych and applications are ranked on the basis of academic merit, based on the ITI score. Further intakes at intermediate and at advanced levels are also based on academic merit. The number of places in the program is limited to a maximum of 30 at each level.
(a) Psychology major
Available in general degrees, eg, BA, BSc, BBus, combined degrees such as BA/LLB, and specialist degrees BBehavSc and BPsych. The core Psychology major comprises:
To complete an accredited 3-year sequence in psychology, students need to complete at least four additional KHA units from the Behavioural Science major: 25% at introductory level and 25% at intermediate level. The accredited 3-year psychology sequence comprises:
Students in general degrees, such as the BA and BSc, can also choose to undertake additional psychology units as student electives. The number of student electives permitted will depend on the type of degree program.
(b) Behavioural Science major
Available in the specialist BBehavSc and BPsych degrees. [Note: concurrent enrolment in the core Psychology major is required.] A Behavioural Science major comprises:
(b) Behavioural Neuroscience major
Available in the specialist BBehavSc and BPsych degrees, on the Hobart campus only. [Note: requires concurrent enrolment in the core Psychology major and completion of a minor in Human Physiology.] A Behavioural Neuroscience major comprises:
(b) Behavioural Studies major
Available only in the BA. Intending students should note that a Behavioural Studies major is not an accredited psychology major and graduates will not be eligible for progression to fourth year study in psychology. A major in Behavioural Studies requires completion of the following units:
Graduate Diploma in Science
Graduates from other disciplines wishing to undertake undergraduate studies in Psychology may do so through the Graduate Diploma of Science [S6D]. This is a two-year part-time course which enables progression to fourth year studies in Psychology. Applicants will normally be expected to have successfully completed two introductory level psychology units before commencing this course.
Fourth year study
Graduates with a major in psychology may apply to enter a fourth year program in psychology, counselling or rehabilitation counselling. Psychology Honours is an accredited fourth year program in Psychology which provides training in research, advanced theoretical topics and an introduction to professional training. Further details for Psychology Honours, including entry requirements, are provided in the unit details for KHA402 Psychology 4 (Honours).
The integrated program in Counselling and Rehabilitation Counselling provides alternative applied training that equips students with the knowledge and skills required for employment in a broad range of counselling or rehabilitation counselling roles. These skill-based courses are HECS based and are offered at the graduate certificate, graduate diploma and masters level.
Postgraduate study
Postgraduate study is offered at masters or doctoral level in the professional training program in clinical psychology or in research higher degrees.

Worker in Sioux City Iowa dies from sewer gas safety issue
Several workers in northern Iowa were working to unclog a sewer line when one of the sewer workers was overcome by sewer gas and died. The work site was in North Sioux City, Iowa. It's reported that the safety rules were not followed and the men were overcome by sewer gas while working to unplug the line. Confined space safety is the issue IOSH and OSHA will be investigating. Lombardi Law Firm has written about worker safety in confined spaces and what that means for sewer workers not just in Iowa, but all over the country. Injury and death by asphyxiation are common when safety rules are not followed by the company or the work site supervisor. Be care, be knowledgeable and be safe. Live another day to work.

Urban Agriculture is a dynamic concept containing a variety of systems and means, which can go from a sustaining production, as a mean to endure social and economic crises, to a profitable agricultural activity.
Urban Agriculture is a worldwide phenomenon, occurring in different social, economical and political contexts and presenting as a basic feature its diversity, being able to adjust to a great variety of urban circumstances and to the various needs of all parts involved. Urban Agriculture contributes to a sustainable urban development, through a positive impact upon social, economical and environmental spheres.
In 1991, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) established the advisory committee of urban agriculture, UAAC (Urban Agriculture Assessment Committee), which, in 1992, originated the Support Group for Urban Agriculture (SGUA), with representatives from all over the world. Right from the beginning of 1990 decade, SGUA included international institutions of great relevance, such as FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), IDRC (International Development Research Center), CIRAD (Centre de Coopération International en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement, France), among others.
SGUA and the related supporting organizations work, comprehends several areas like the increasing of policies in partnership with local authorities, looking for Urban Agriculture integration; research, focusing the withdraw of obstacles blocking the integration of Urban Agriculture in planning and in local and national policies; technical assistance concerning urban agriculture projects in developing countries and East European countries in a transition phase; Investments and credit, encouraging private and public investments to get viability to technical assistance and formation; Information and communications, by the exchange and dissemination of information connected to urban agriculture. Creation of RUAF (Resources Center for Urban Agriculture and Forestry) program, in order to get easier communication about urban agriculture and to ameliorate the documentation, exchange and diffusion of experiences.
The significance given to Urban Agriculture registered a fast grow in the past two decades, resulting in its inclusion in the international calendar, both in development policies terms, as well as in the concretization of projects. These organizations initiatives and work echoes today in the effective awareness of local and national authorities, about the importance that the access to the means to food production has in urban community's resilience, starting to work with "urban farmers" instead of being against them.
Urban Agriculture has an increasing preponderance in the international calendar, being today considered as part of the solution to urban growth problems, including sustainability strategies, both in developed countries cities as well as in non-developed ones.
Luc J.A. Mougeot, in the book Growing Better Cities: Urban agriculture for sustainable development leaves a quite pertinent question: "Should municipalities begin to put the right question: What can Urban Agriculture do for my municipality? Instead of: What can my municipality do for Urban Agriculture?"
Having as a goal to find some of the right answers to the right questions, we propose the discussion of ideas and the exchange of experiences with national and international representatives. Seixal City Council, which through its citizens, technicians and politicians has been searching strategies to Urban Agriculture projects materialisation, during the pasting decade, offers itself to host the international conference on this matter, to be held next April. Seixal City Council relies upon the partnership with National School for Public Health of Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Coimbra Agricultural High School.

Gold begets in brethren hate; Gold in families debate; Gold does friendship separate; Gold does civil wars create.Abraham Cowley
What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.Hillary Clinton
Debate is masculine, conversation is feminine.Amos Bronson Alcott
I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their jobMargaret Thatcher
Whatever the field under discussion, those who engage in debate must not only believe in each other's good faith, but also in their capacity to arrive at the truth.Wystan Hugh Auden
Intelligence is no human sideshow but an evolutionary main event. The power to foresee, to call upon the past in terms of the future, to evaluate, to imagine solutions, is a power flowing from old time springs. The human mind may be denied the policeman's privilege of arresting this instinct or that. It may sit as no more than a moderator in the eternal instinctual debate. But it is a moderator with unlimited investigative powers.Robert Ardrey

We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear.The global warming debate is over.Arnold Schwarzenegger
A little tough talk in the midst of a campaign or as part of a presidential debate cannot obscure a record of 30 years of being on the wrong side of defense issues.Dick Cheney
All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.Barack Obama
One great state says to others, as each in effect has been saying during the ten years of armament debate: "It is true that we ask for considerable power. Perhaps, all things considered, greater power than you. But it need not disturb you in the least, for we give you our most positive assurance that that power will be used purely for defense. And by defense we mean this: that when we get into a dispute with you as to our respective rights, when, that is, the question is whether you are right or we are right, what we mean by defense is that we shall always be in a position to be sole judge of the question. And so much stronger than you, that you will have to accept our verdict without any possibility of appeal. Could anything be fairer?"Sir Norman Angell
Two signs of learned person are: acceptance of other people's criticism, and being knowledgeable about the angles and dimensions of rhetoric and debate.Husayn ibn Al
Only those afraid of the truth seek to silence debate, intimidate those with whom they disagree, or slander their ideological counterparts. Those who know they are right have no reason to stifle debate because they realize that all opposing arguments will ultimately be overcome by fact.Glenn Beck
We need honest, reasoned debate; not fear-mongering. To those who pit Americans against immigrants, and citizens against non-citizens; to those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty; my message to you is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists- for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends. They encourage people of good will to remain silent in the face of evil.John David Ashcroft
Take our politicians: they're a bunch of yo-yos. The presidency is now a cross between a popularity contest and a high school debate, with an encyclopedia of cliches.Saul Bellow
It is not fair to Tony or to the Government that the entire focus of political debate at the moment is about me. I know I'm in a very special position, I'm the wife of the Prime Minister, I have an interesting job and a wonderful family, but I also know I am not Superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I'm juggling a lot of balls in the air. Some of you must experience that.Cherie Blair
I understand there is a need for a stable and orderly transition to that leadership, but that people should give me the space to ensure that happens and that this debate is not best conducted in the pages of the Mail on Sunday.Anthony Charles Lynton Blair
We consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.William Joseph Brennan, Jr.

Confidentiality is an important aspect of helping students in difficulty. Please consider the following information carefully.
Prioritise discussing confidentiality with the student. However do not promise absolute confidentiality. Explain to the student that in 'exceptional circumstances', e.g. if the student is a risk to themselves or others, confidentiality may have to be breached.
Information about a student's health is sensitive under the data protection act.
Sensitive data about a student can only be shared (within and outside of the university), with the student's 'explicit consent'. Consent needs to be either written or a record of the conversation with the student needs to be made.
Therefore do not disclose personal information about students to anyone inside or outside the University without the student's explicit consent, (except in 'exceptional circumstances').
When a student asks you not to pass on their information and therefore refuses to give consent, it is important to document this and to ensure the student is informed of how this may affect the amount of support the university can offer.
'What if' conversations with colleagues can be a very effective way to consider the student's situation or needs while maintaining the student's anonymity.
A student may be accessing other support within or outside of the university. Each support service will have their own guidelines on confidentiality. These guidelines will influence the information these services may be able to share with you.
It is important to remember that you cannot communicate with parents without the student's explicit consent. You can inform parents of the University support services available to students experiencing difficulties, suggesting that they could encourage their son or daughter to access them.
Further advice and guidelines on disclosure and confidentiality are available at on our Data Protection pages.

If you're a first-time DUI offender - or, if it's clear that you're likely to be convicted of a first-time DUI offense based on the evidence - then your DUI defense attorney may soon advise you to consider the new First-Time DUI Offender Initiative, in which you can plead down to reckless driving provided that you fulfill all the conditions of the initiative.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's office, which created the program, gives first-time drunk-driving offenders a second chance. Drivers arrested and charged with drunk driving can go through a substance abuse program, as reported by CBS Miami, and must meet the following qualifications:
- The drunk-driving charge must be a first-time offense
- The arrest must not have come out of a drunk driving auto accident
- There must not have been children in the car
- There must not be certain other prior traffic violations on the record, like reckless driving
Like any other new initiatives, the qualifications listed above are not exclusive. There will likely be other things that may disqualify the first-time DUI offender from participating in the program, or items that may be added or removed from the list of qualifications.
But for many of those accused of a first-time drunk-driving offense, successful completion of the program would keep a DUI off their record.
For many of our clients - many of whom are first-time DUI offenders who still have to deal with all the negative consequences of repeat DUI offenders, like the loss of job opportunities - the Miami-Dade First-Time DUI Offender Initiative is likely to be a very good thing.

Upcoming Adventures
100 Miles of Wild: Madagascar's Limestone Labyrinth
[ Fall 2014 ]
During the first two weeks of October, with the support of Kensington Tours and Delta Air Lines, the Adventure Science team will travel deep into the Strict Nature Reserve of Madagascar's Great Tsingy, a UNESCO world heritage site, and dangerous limsetone labyrinth that can only be accessed by qualified teams of academic researchers - it is completely off limits to all tourists. This awe inspiring landscape houses populations of threatened and newly discovered lemur species, unexplored caverns and cave systems, and dinosaur tracks yet to be found. The Adventure Science team will trek, climb, crawl, and navigate 100 miles of dangerously sharp rock, towering cliffs, and unknown cave systems, in order to accomplish the expedition goals - which are to provide the first detailed map of the region, identify lemur species native to the region, observe and record the location of caves and caverns, and to identify geologically significant features, such as dinosaur tracks, along this 100 mile route.

Coping with Anxiety at Disney World?
Just looking for some advice and maybe reassurance I think. I'm 21 I've had panic attacks since I was 11. I have got better and worse in that time, currently I can hold down a job at a pub in the village I live in, sometimes my parents or boyf come and sit at work with me. I don't leave the village without one of my parents. But I can go pretty much anywhere with one of them, even busy places although I tend to struggle.
I have been planning this amazing trip to Disney for a year. And the last month I've spent feeling sicker and sicker as I get more and more stressed for the first time in about four years I am panicking at home.
I'm worried about flying (9 hours) and I'm worried about the business of parks, being ill and ruining it for everyone else, not coping and spending soooo much money to sit in a hotel room!
So my real questions is any coping mechanisms anyone find helpful specific to Disney? (I know about breathing etc as I've been through nine councillers since I was about 13/14!) I know there is a first aid centre so I'm hoping that if I get really bad I can calm down there rather than leave the park altogether, maybe a gac but I would rather not use it to be honest.
Thank you
Heading out now, another adventure

I will offer this advice. Do not put pressure on yourself to keep up with your party or to meet your "quota" of fun, that is a sur eway to raise anxiety.
A lot depends on the core source of your anxiety. If it is from some trauma then avoiding triggers is a key, if it is from lack of ability to easily manage the social complexities and expectations then not overloading yourself and taking time to decompress from the effort and stress is critical.
Do not underestimate the theraputic value of being at Disneyworld.
It looks like you are staying at one of the DVC resorts, so that will help since they are more relaxing enviroments and are relatively easy to retreat to individually when needed.
Good luck and have fun.

You are going to busy time, which should be very helpful in your situation.
The next thing I'm going to suggest would be using touring plan. You don't necessarily need to follow it exactly, but that give you the most control - Which is very important for most people with anxiety and panic attacks.
Using a touring plan will help you to be in the least busy part of the least busy park for the day. That will not only help with waits for attractions, but also the general crowd will be less. Less crowded walkways, less crowded in other places where a GAC can't help you. Some of those places would be restaurants, restrooms and just generally getting around.
That would be helpful even if you do plan to use a GAC - and you don't need to follow a touring plan exactly. Most give general principles to follow for those who don't want a rigid plan.
Many people recommend www.touringplans.com or www.easywdwinfo.com and find that using advice there, they can Plan their day for the shortest wait length and end up waiting 10 to 15 minutes for most attractions. This is even during busy times like Christmas and spring break.
You can also download WDW touring apps to your smart phone or iPod touch. You would not want to use actual phone connection time since you are from the UK, but they are in the process of installing wifi in all parks. Touringplans has a nice app.
There is more information about GACs in post six of the disABILITIES FAQs thread. You can find that thread near the top of this board or follow the link in my signature.
Depending on exactly what your situation is, some people find using a GAC can be somewhat anxiety provoking. You need to approach a CM at each attraction where you are going to use the GAC, Show that person the card and interact with them. They may ask you some questions about what your needs are.
Not every attraction has the same accommodations available, and even if something was available when you went the first time, it may not be available at a different time. This can be because of staffing or possibly the area is already full or unavailable at the time you return. They have also recently been not offering accommodations if the wait in the regular line is 15-20 minutes or less.
So, while. GAC can very helpful for many people, quite a few use it as sort of insurance and prefer to use things like FASTPASS and touring plans that are more predictable and are available to everyone.
If you just need to get away to someplace quiet for a while, keep in mind that you can leave MK and Epcot and walk to a nearby resort to hang out in the lobby for a while. Contemporary is within walking distance of MK (go toward the bus station, then follow a sidewalk that goes under the monorail track).
Beach Club, Yacht Club and Boardwalk resorts are close to the International Gateway entrance of Epcot.
You can also get to those resorts, plus Dolphin and Swan from a walkway at the Studio.
AK doesn't have any resorts in walking distance, but one of the quiets places to hang out is the paths in the Oasis - most people think of these as just the walking path that takes you from the parking lot to the park. They are actually animal viewing spots and are usually quiet except during peak entry and leaving times.

My husband has severe anxiety and has lots of successful wdw trips under his belt now
First accept the thoughts about your wdw worries- being anxious about going is normal ( just look at all the questions and worries on this board) just don't give them any power- have the thought, say ok and move on- trying not to worry about it is like holding a ball under water- it jumps up stronger!
Bring something that works for you to occupy your mind in line or on the buses- my husband always has his ds or iPod to focus on
Take time for rest or mid day breaks- harder to fight things when you are tired.
Have a fantastic time!
First time my husband was so sick- went on some rides and made it through. Last visit he ate and went on everything and had a blast!

Thank you so much for all your kind words, I think I am going to have to accept maybe I can't do everything I would like to, I have used the touring plans website and our animal kingdom day has suddenly changed from a 3 to a 6.9 which has thrown me but if I choose a couple of rides at each park instead of a definite 20 ride time specific plan it leaves room for my anxiety and to stop and smell the roses instead.
I really don't want to use th GAC it's more for whoever is 'looking after' me so they don't miss out if I am unable to get in a regular line, it would be nice to be able to wait somewhere else until our turn.
The idea of stepping out and even just nipping back to a different resort is very helpful. My anxiety is worsened by crowds it's basically a fear of being ill, I can usually calm myself down if I am left alone to talk myself out of it, but busy areas and unfamiliar areas where I don't have escape routes make everything worse. I'm in therapy but the constant appears to be my fears are mainly irrational, not that that helps anything!!

I get anxiety and just came back and did fine. Remember, you can always get a cab and leave any park if you want to (that always me feel less anxious knowing that) Also, there are areas of the parks that don't get super crowded. You aren't going during a very crowded time, so you should be alright. Ask a CM, where there is a quiet area if you need to just sit and relax. I also, do not take the monorail because it stopped a few times the last time I took it and we were just stuck in mid-air and that made me feel very uncomfortable (to say the least) I was feeling anxious about our last trip, before we went, but I told myself, I was not going to let anxiety take away a special time with my children and family and I did not let it stop me from doing the things I wanted to do. Have a great time. I don't know if you take medication, but perhaps the doctor could give you something for the airplane flight. I didn't need to take anything, but had valium on me, just in case I needed it and that helped.

Hi We just got back from Disney yesterday...we spent 8 days in the parks. I have Complex PTSD and anxiety/panic attacks. I worried about this trip for all the 6 months we planned it. It turned out, much to my suprise, to be way easier than I thought. I found less crowded areas to decompress, I took the half of a Klonopin a day as a preventative just as my doctor told me to (in addition to my regular medications). I also asked a cast member at each and every ride what the ride was like. They are very used to these questions and gave detailed answers and didn't seem to mind at all. I even asked at It's a Small World. I passed on many rides because of my dislike of roller coaster-type rides and claustrophobia. But my husbband and kids went and that made me happy. It just gave me time to people-watch or poke around the shops (and run ahead for fastpasses!). I had lots of interesting conversations with people, many from other countries....I don't get to do that much in the little town I live in.
I told the monorail operator that I was scared and she explained why the monorail might need to stop (very patient, not judgemental at all). She then put us in the car right behind her and showed me a phone where I could be connected right to her so she could tell me what was going on! I even watched her direct the incoming passengers at various stops into other cars so we could have the car to ourselves so I wouldn't feel crowded in! <<< We did not ask her to do that...she took it upon herself.
I did the same on the ferry to Magic Kingdom. I NEVER, EVER thought I would take either the monorail or the ferry, but I did and I'm so suprised!
If you fear you might get sick, could you tell a cast member? They've heard it all! Then they could reassure you that it happens and they have a procedure in place to take care of it with no problem.
One little funny: There were two cast member standing together at the river safari ride and I asked if there were any tunnels. They said yes and I asked if you could see the end of the tunnel once you got in it (part of my claustrophobia). The guy CM asked me, "Is there a small child in your party who's afraid of tunnels?" I said, "Yes! Me!" and we all cracked up!

I'm not sure if any of this will help you.
I have anxiety and panic attacks in crowds. When in line I'm usually in front with my family behind so that I'm not crowded. I have a hardest time with the bus from the hotel to the park as they will shove so many people, and their strollers into them that there's no sitting room. Usually I take the window or I put DD by the window, I'll sit next to her and DH will give up his seat and stand in the isle next to me. We also will skip the fireworks and go back to the resort early to swim. I also like to do the early early ADR's so that we can take the earliest bus and skip the rope drop rush. The stores can also get a bit crowded. I like shopping but a lot of the shops have the same merchandise, so if a store is too crowded I'll wait outside for my family and I'll later go to a different store that is less packed.
Some of the most magical moments of our trips or the most meaningful memories have been when I've needed time to decompress and we'll find moments of magic in the often under appreciated and calm areas of the park.

Just remember that you can always find a quiet out of the way spot to relax, recharge, just catch your breath, if need be. Just keep your eyes open, if you feel the need to find a spot. At Animal Kingdom, there are quiet places long the river & around the tree that are usually pretty empty. At Magic Kingdom, around the Splash Mountain exit/bathroom area. Tom Sawyer Island is a great escape, sometimes, You can secure a rocking chair with a water view & forget you are in a busy park. Just remember to go at your pace, relax and enjoy! No one can see it all in one trip & neither can you! If you are helped by blocking out sound/stimuli, maybe carry an iPod & concentrate on that in lines if you need to. Use your family as a buffer if you need to. Not to make light of your situation, just know that everyone reaches their breakpoint sometime within their Disney vacation & most of us use some sort of similar coping strategy to deal with parks, crowds, heat, family, whatever. DW is NOT for the faint of heart!!!

Hi I'm another panic-attacker! I'm going to be very honest with you, are you ready?? Last year's trip was the highest anxiety trip I have ever had. The experience I had going through that hard time will help you (hopefully!!).
1- I was absolutely FINE in the parks. I did have one semi-episode in CoP but I was able to calm myself down pretty quickly. The hardest thing with anxiety is being really PRESENT. In the moment. Our minds race to "oh my gosh I should have done X...." or "oh my gosh what if X happens...." or "oh my gosh I'm feeling X so that must mean Y". That's what happened to me in CoP. It was right when the doors shut and Ralphie (lol) started talking. The room was hot because the door had been open so I started really freaking out. As soon as the scene changed the room cooled off, and everything was fine when I really started focusing on the show- being really present. So, that's my first piece of advice- be 'in the moment'. At the happiest place on earth, there is so much detail, so much joy. Really BE THERE, and that will give you a better experience.
2- There are some great "out of the way" spots to take a breather. We like:
MK- Rose Garden by the castle, Tomorrowland Transit Authority (it's just so chill and goes in the dark and is quiet... we LOVE it), out of the way benches at Pirates of the Caribbean.
EPCOT- Spaceship Earth (also so chill, dark and quiet), inside the courtyard of Morocco and the Moroccan art room (whatever that's called with the henna), by the fountain at France, close to the friendship boat dock at the back entrance to World Showcase, Stave Church at Norway.
DHS- Benches by Echo lake, benches by ToT, benches by American Idol
AK- Oasis Area, area behind Tree of Life, Rafiki's planet watch
3- Rent a car. This is BIG for us. I have issues with claustrophobia, and I don't like being crowded on the Disney Buses. Having a car allows me to come and go as I want, go offsite to get some groceries/snacks, and is a quiet "refuge" that quickly gets me out of the hustle and bustle. DH always drives, and I can navigate with my eyes closed now
4- Explore the resorts! I LOOOOVED watching Wishes from the Poly Beach. We weren't staying there, and that's ok!! We loved walking around the Boardwalk/Swan Dolphin at night. We loved touring the Wilderness Lodge, Poly and Grand Floridian Lobbies. We loved listening to the Grand Floridian piano player and band play (DH and I are both professional musicians). These were all quiet times and we brought snacks and just walked around and enjoyed. We were staying at Pop, and had no problems at all talking to the gate attendant and just telling him that we were there to check out the resort.
5- We did a lot of research on restaurant food, but didn't do a lot of research on restaurant ambiance. We were at Raglan Road and holy cow, it was the loudest restaurant ever. I had a panic attack in the restaurant (twice). Poor DH, he's such a trooper. I knew what I had to do though- I just got up, told DH that I had to go outside for a while because I was panicking, and did just that. I walked outside, I looked at the little gift shop outside the restaurant- took some "me time". When I felt ready, I went back in. I had to get up and leave a 2nd time, but after I came back in, DH offered to switch seats with me and I busied myself with taking pictures and planning out our day. He pulled out his iphone and we looked through pictures, played some games, etc. I couldn't eat most of my meal (too sick feeling from the panic) so DH was happy to eat mine too HAHA. I gotta say though, what I did eat was YUMMY! I have a review in my signature- I talk about my panic a little bit so feel free to browse around! When I'm in situations like that where I feel too sick to eat but know that I need to for my health, I have a trick. I don't know if this is going to help you at all, but what I do is I get out DH's iPhone or he and I start talking about something totally unrelated to our meal- like a future vacation, past vacation, what rides we want to go on, etc. Then, I take a small (tiny) bite and get my mind immediately off of it. I can normally drink water, so I tend to kind of just swallow the food like it were a pill and get my mind on something else. I also squeeze my thumbs just to have something to hold on to. Or, I'll get the food "to go" and eat it while walking somewhere else. I need that multi-tasking sometimes. I cried in 3 restaurants at WDW this last trip- Raglan Rd, The Wave, and Jiko, and it took me a while to figure out what tricks work for me to calm me down. Again, it's that whole being present thing... in restaurants I'm still trying to work on that.
6- Bring some comfort items from home. I always have the following with me: Rescue Remedy, Thieves and Di-Gize oils from Young Living, Lavender body spray by Hugo Naturals (calming scent), my iPod loaded with favorite music, games, and relaxation podcasts, hand sanitizer, a washcloth with some ice in a ziplock (if you put some cool water on your cheeks and back of neck it helps you if you're having a panic episode or if you're feeling claustrophobic), Oscillococcinum (if I start feeling a cold coming on- I love this stuff), water, snacks, hat. For the room I always bring my own blanket (travel size) and a lounge-around track suit to make sure I'm comfortable but I can also go out in it if I need to. I also will always bring ear plugs with me, too.
I hope this wasn't way too long or too much information. When I'm at WDW, I'm in my happy place. I know what tricks I need to do to keep me calm, but really, the only places I have problems with still are in restaurants, and I know how to divert that. When I'm on a ride- I'm 100% fine. You will be too.
Also, bring some Rescue Remedy (by Bach) with you- it's FABULOUS. I love it, I swear by it... I used it this morning, actually!

What great advice you/we are getting! We're leaving soon for our 3rd trip to WDW. My previous 2 trips were during really good times where I hadn't been having anxiety/panic issues. I had absolutely no problems during those trips for which I am so grateful. My episodes tend to come in waves, and I believe they are often tied to hormonal changes. Well, I've recently started having problems again (pre-menopausal) and am feeling just like you. It's so frustrating to be planning a trip to the happiest place on earth, and fearing a trip to the happiest place on earth, all at the same time!
One thing that helps me is knowing I'm not alone in having these experiences. (And neither are you)
Another thing I like is having open space around me, so all these tips about calm places to relax are spot on. A previous poster talked about being present and that is terrific advice, because it forces us to take the focus off our fear and put it somewhere safe. I just wrote "Be Present" on a sticky note and attached it to my computer - it will now be my mantra!
I also like this saying: "Fear is like fire. It can burn your house down, or it can keep you warm and cook your food." When the fear comes, I remind myself that I can either let the fear control me, or I can control the fear. I know sometimes that is easier said than done, but it's a good goal!
Often the fear of what MIGHT happen is worse than what actually does happen. That's a big problem for me; the what if's. A wise therapist once gave this advice: If the worst does happen, you WILL get through it just as you have in the past. She practically shrugged her shoulders as if to say "So what. You've got this handled. The world will keep spinning." I found that surprisingly comforting. I like knowing that even when it feels like MY world is ending, the world around me is truly not affected by what's happening to me. That calms me down.
I am taking our upcoming trip one step at a time. If you never saw the Bill Murray movie "What about Bob", you should. I sometimes say to myself 'baby steps' to remind myself how funny life (and Bill Murray) can really be. Putting a humorous spin on a not-so-funny situation can go a long way towards relaxing.
I'm praying for all of us with these issues to have peaceful, joyful, in-the-moment experiences everywhere we go.
You'll be okay, Sweetheart.

We just got back mid-Sept and I was feeling anxious and questioning if I was going to be able to do some things before we went but I told myself I was not going to miss out on things I and especially my children wanted to do. (just refused to let the anxiety rule what I was going to do). I think when I realized it would take away from my children's good time, it helped me not let it control what I was going to do. The trip went smoothly and I didn't have any issues on the vacation. One moment at a time, and one day at a time. Alot of people have anxiety issues, have a great time.

I'm very familiar with anxiety and panic attacks. First thing to remember - what is the worst thing that will happen to you? You won't die because of crowds (even though you might feel like you will). I'm not saying that to be mean - I know what those irrational fears are like. I'm just trying to give you perspective.
Second, you can always go back to your hotel if you need to get away from the crowds.
Third, if you aren't already medicated, get something like Xanax. A small dose can take the edge off without making you too drowsy.
Fourth, Florida offers excellent healthcare. If the worst possible thing happens and you become ill, you can be treated for it.
I hope you have a wonderful, anxiety-free vacation.

I don't understand panic attacks, but I do understand that you have a hidden disability that is difficult to deal with. Good luck to you on your vacation.
Concentrate on nature & how beautiful Disney is - how the attractions were designed, and how clever the designers were. Keep thinking of the GOOD things around you. You won't have too much time left to be upset. It's kind of like dieting. It's easier when you're out & busy than when you're 10 feet away from the refrigerator!
Have a GREAT time at Disney!
