From the article: It's All in Your Head
People often say hurtful things to people who have bipolar disorder. They may do this because they are uninformed, because they are caught up in the stigma of mental illness - or even because they think they are giving good advice. What have people said to you about your bipolar disorder that really hurt your feelings? Give us your answers and read what others have said.
If you think you have friends you dont
- "i have grown tired of your rollarcoaster" and my other friend "i didnt realize how disconnected i had become from my own family caught up in your drama" both of these people told me i didnt have bipolar that i had a spirit attachment and told me to stop taking my meds because i didnt have bipolar. I guess they felt guilty when they realised that I actually do and they were wrong and they had to cut me off nastily so they didnt feel the shame of what they did to me.

You've changed
- I was fired for poor attendance (because I was depressed at home carefully planning ways to kill myself). When she fired me, my boss shook her head and said, "You've changed." Well hell yes, they loved me when I was vivacious, creative, and not sleeping for days because I was endlessly 'perfecting' a piece of work for them.
- —Guest Helena
Ive been called....
- A raving lunatic, emotionally selfish, a spoiled brat....among other things.
- —Guest Sher
- my Now ex friend says I need Help. and it really hurt she says i need searious help because i am bipolar u think i wanted to be bipolar. she mad because she got caugh in a lie i have a 8 week old puppy and she thinks i care about myself no i dont my puppy comes first
- —Guest cassie
I'm not alone
- I live in a relatively small place, with 3 kids all alone. I'm called every name in the book: bipolar bitch, schizo, retard, crazy. You think of it, I've been called it. My family hates me & calls me crazy. I also have a child that's adhd/bipolar so you can only imagine what I go through. I've lost & quit many jobs been in & out college (have yet to finish). Ppl call me a liar (when I'm known for being real & honest). They say I'm lazy, sorry, manipulative, in my own world, live in denial, believe what I wanna believe so I make myself think its true. I feel all alone. I've even been homeless. This illness is nothing to take lightly. I'm currently not on meds, haven't been since '07 mainly thinking I could do it alone. But now, I've been suicidal again.
- —Guest Ashley
fake it til you make it
- fake that i don't want to curl up and die and vanish into thin air at the snap of a finger. i want to be real, not fake. i hate the 'fake it til you make it' "encouragement" from people.
- —Guest baboo
- My Psychologist tried for almost a year to get me to accept my self destructive tendencies and bipolar disorder. Eventually it all clicked and this is what it took: adopting the philosophy of caring about other more than you care about yourself without neglecting your basic needs. On some level, we're all narcissists. We're just designed that way genetically. A lot of people just hide their narcissism on the 'guise of "YOU HAVE TO BEHAVE THE WAY I WANT TO ALL THE TIME BECAUSE SOMETHING YOU SAY MIGHT OFFEND ME." Obviously we shouldn't just go out of our way to offend people, that's a little mean and understandably so. But what we shouldn't do is expect everyone to constantly behave the way we want them to when they are around us We can still accept our own ingrained genetics that tell us to take care of our basic needs first and do nice things for other people.
- —Guest Newly Diagnosed
"You're psycho."
- I've been called a psycho by my parents, people back in high school, friends, my ex husband and my current husband. It's just because I'm emotional. They say it to me because they know I have bipolar and know it hurts me, so my emotions never have any substance to them. It's just my illness, they say, and leave me to fend for them myself. That's what hurts the most.
- —Guest Yagirlnfollface
a matter of self preservation
- After reading only just a few submissions I right away connected with what was and is and will continue to accompany mental health issues. For our life, these slights, ignorant rants and slurs are and will be a constant reminder. I'm 48 and wasn't diagnosed till I was 45. I had labored under every imaginable self and other induced misconception. I had absolutely no clue. I just know that for most of my life I felt "different" but was always under fire from....well, everyone basically. Shunned, marginalized and ostracized I still managed to find a mate god bless her for putting up with my issues. It has been very hard for me to be able to get an accurate picture of myself....meaning my inappropriate behavior outlandish ideas etc. till someone who gave a crap (my wife) helped me to see. It seems I've endured so much I can't tell what when I'm gettin dissed or have the energy to care. But I still fight to see what can and will happen. Some kinda crazy journey. Stick with it and see!

No genius can be bipolar.
- My mother told me that no genius can be bipolar after I told her that Beethoven was bipolar. She called bipolar people crazy and can never be intelligent and that the people who think so are merely guessing. Many teachers speculate my IQ is above 135, even my AP Psychology teacher, my AP English teacher, and my AP US History teacher who majored in psychology. I want to take the legitimate IQ test just to prove her wrong.
- —Guest Stephanie
Catherine Zeta-Jones
- Rather predictably when Catherine Zeta Jones made her illness public yesterday, people had the following to say:* What has she got to be depressed about? She's rich isn't she?* Why did she tell the press? What an attention seeker!* Why does this get such attention just because she's a star? Happens all the time!* There's nothing brave about admitting to a disease when your life is so full of material success. Some may find these reactions irritating, frustrating or mean spirited, others may have an element of sympathy with them. For me, having read the decision to make this public was based on the fact she was seen outside the clinic and rumours were circulating about addictive behaviour that may have brought her there, I do think there's an element of bravery. However rich this woman is, she has coped in the last year with her husband's cancer and his son being sent to prison. I'm not sure all the money in the world would make this better. It has also emerged that CZJ has been affected by depression on and off for years. Lots of us are.For me, the only element of this I find frustrating is the fact that it still takes someone high profile like CZJ to speak up for people to understand more. There has been a lot of attention because of the nature of the lsnleis, who knows, if it was a physical one it may not have been so newsworthy.I hate the fact that when faced with news of someone's illness, people make value judgements based on their own prejudices of whether the sufferer deserves to be one! We all get ill so I wish people would quit their sniping. Just because people have the sort of wealth so many dream of, it doesn't stop them feeling, hurt, love or loss. It doesn't stop compassion and it most certainly isn't a cure for a medical condition.

Ostracised! Yet SHARED Mother's womb.
- From my identical twin sister, who was planning to wed her fiance: WITHDRAWAL of her previous formal commitment for me to serve as bridesmaid of honour at her to be anticipated most special, memorable experience of her life-THE perfect! wedding. Although I have another sister, who was the only other designated 'regular' bridesmaid, MY personal role, and shared twin-sister moment, was given to a replacement/substituted barely known acquaintance ?colleague! Enough? Enough to MAINTAIN the BIPOLAR episode as an inpatient!
- —Guest Toxic?
Drowned Your Children
- I was dating a guy during a manic episode (and divorce). He broke up with me, saying that he was scared of me. He told me that he had a dream that we got married and I drowned our five children and then myself in the bathtub. I have no children, but I cannot possibly imagine wanting to murder a child. Any child. The fact that he thought I was cable of such a horrific act shocked me. It wasn't long after he broke up with me that I spiraled down to a depressive episode where I was no longer able to live by myself and had to move in with my sister.
- —Guest Not Broken
You're just confused ...
- I take my medication religiously. I never miss a dose. But no one ever takes my word for anything. I get blamed for everything that goes wrong at home and a work. It has gotten to the point that I text and email everything so I have documentation of what was said to me. It is so frustrating. "You're just confused" "Did you take your meds?" "No ones lying, you're being paranoid" "Should we take you to the ER now or do you just want to rest awhile?" The thing is what I observe is real. I'm not delusional anymore. I have hard evidence - notes, texts, emails, numbers - but no one bothers to even check if what I'm saying is true. They just write me off as crazy. "You're just confused..." I get so frustrated.

35 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 30-39 within 15 miles
...so you're saying I have a chance.
Back in beautiful Denver after a 2 year hiatus. I'm trying a whole new way of life and kicking old, unhealthy habits for excercise, a healthy diet, and as many new experiences and places to explore and enjoy as I possibly can. I've always had a zest for life but I'm trying to temper that with a calmer, more laid back approach to life. I like to think I've grown wiser in my years ;) I've enrolled in a boot camp close to my neck of the woods and it's absolutely crazy! At first, I hated it, then hate grew to dread and dread grew to..."it's only 1 hour a day...I can survive 1 hour right?" Needless to say, it makes me feel great and ALIVE. Among my other passions are concerts, live sporting events, travel, golf and fishing. I'm going to the Dierks Bentley concert at Red Rocks (I've never been there for a concert and I can't wait!). Currently, I'm spending my time studying for the pharmacotherapy BCPS certification. I'm a clinical pharmacist and I finally enjoy my career. Pharmacy is a great career as long as you can find your niche. Now I understand what the saying means "if you love what you do, than it's not really work at all". As for my personal life, I enjoy meeting new people and expanding my circle of friends. I'm a loyal friend and partner and I treasure and respect the people I love. I believe I'm at the stage in my life where I'm comfortable with my career and in my own skin and I know what I want out of life. A partner that is kind, caring and humorous is the type of man I see myself with for the long haul ;) Someone who is serious but doesn't take himself too seriously and can laugh at himself is a must and a man who is adventurous, energetic and flexible is a bonus.
Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Golf, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have 2 tiny dogs that are so precious to me. If their in a good mood, they sometimes let me dress them up ;)
Anywhere on Cherry Creek/Platte River, Rio, Downtown Tavern, Fado's, Illegal Pete's.
Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, FL
I like all types of food I'll try anything once; however my all-time favorite food is sushi. There's no place like Sushi Den :)
I enjoy pretty much any outdoor activity including live music/concerts, Film on the Rocks, live sporting events.

Journal of Geosciences and Geomatics
ISSN (Print):
ISSN (Online):
During these last decades, important publications have raised up much concerns about organic-rich sedimentation and mass/step-by-step extinctions. This subject has concerned thoroughly the NW Tethyan part and high latitudinal region (including present France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Turkey, etc). Recent petroleum studies have shown, however, that intense black shale levels with important organic-rich accumulation have been recorded in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt). These recordings confirmed the worldwide Oceanic Anoxic Events during the Phanerozoic. However, it is worthy to say that publications on this thematic remain poor to very poor, unfortunately, when compared with the European recordings.
The aims and scope of this special issue will focus on the Phanerozoic (Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic) anoxic events (black shale accumulations) and related mass-extinctions in the North African domain.

Judging solely on the Vallejo repper's stage name, you might assume Moe Green's grind was motivated entirely by a desire to amass paper (and possibly spend it on vast quantities of kush). But, you know what they say about books and their covers. As a matter of fact, Green flouts these preconceptions in the very first lines of his latest feature: "F*ck rappin' 'bout your money tree—I'm plantin' seeds for the Garden of Eden." A standout cut off the emcee's latest EP, Dreamin' finds Moe doing just as the title says: fantasizing about the success that awaits him, and in the process illuminating some of the deeper motivations behind his hustle. Bedrock's quietly determined piano/synth-string beat pulses in the background as Green expresses his desire to bring a breath of fresh air to the game and set an example for those to come. And if that big money does eventually find its way into his pocketbook, the first thing he's gonna do is set his mother up in a better place (see also: Get Mama a House). Complete with a simple yet effective hook by Amy Serrata, this joint is just one of many fresh cuts to be found on Moe's Lionheart EP, released June 27, and out now online.

Eagles pulls a sketch from his pocket. Using a paintbrush and a stack of saliva-dampened paper towels, he places broad strokes of blood across the resinated surface of a huge piece of Plexiglas. This will be the first of 20 layers of blood and resin, with a drying time of hours or days between each layer. He pours blood out onto another sheet of Plexi and coerces it by slanting the plane. The resulta virulent splash across a stark white background is thrilling enough to cause Eagles to squeal and bite his wrist.
"I could use a cigarette after that," he says. But Eagles doesn't smoke; instead, he works on this one shape for another hour, slowly adding beads of blood to pools already threatening to break through their surface tension. It is punctilious work but Eagles is on fire.
To cool down, he takes me to his childhood room. Once a gallery for baseball cards, this room is now a way station for the season's latest blood work. I sit on the floor while Eagles hangs a painting on the wall and clips in a few pin lights. Brilliant beams of copper, bronze, pink, and gold explode from a small hole in the center of the Plexiglas canvas.
"Now watch," Eagles says as he dims the lights until they are nearly extinguished. The piece continues to glow, as if fueled by its own energy source, as if the blood were alive.
"See, here, light is the hero."

The sun bakes the concrete this Friday afternoon, the heat magnifying the usual smells – gasoline, Old Spice, the faint but unmistakable stench of urine.
Welcome to Santa Ana's Civic Center, where rumpled people living on the streets mingle among the neatly dressed heading in and out of government buildings. Police cruise here too, a close eye on every move.
But on this hot day, something different is happening.
About a dozen homeless folk circle a muscular pit bull of a man with a shaved head, ever-present sunglasses, a black trench coat and a cane. He takes off the coat and puts down the cane; the glasses stay.
"Not a lot of people today," he says to no one in particular.
He then props a battered flip chart on a bench and paces in front of it, offering a nod or a "Hey, what up" to passing regulars. Some call him "Mo," some "Mas." Others just refer to him as "the kid."
Massimo Marini, 31, crusader for the homeless, would-be union organizer, answers to it all.
In the 20 or so years that homelessness has been acknowledged as a serious issue in Santa Ana, there have been countless studies, ad hoc committees, bond monies, HUD funds, church outreach and volunteer efforts aimed at fixing the problem.
But Marini aims to do something few have undertaken: get the homeless to become their own agents of change.
• • • •
Three o'clock is the appointed time. It's almost 3:20 now.
In one hand, Marini holds a green Sharpie; in the other a Marlboro, red label. "All right." He drags on the cigarette. "You guys want to get started?"
A ragtag chorus of "yeah" confirms and, just like that, the weekly meeting of the Civic Center Round Table is convened.
Round Table, Marini will remind them more than once, is the place "where oppression stops."
This weather-beaten group formed in January, sparked by what they describe as increased enforcement of no-camping tickets and police systematically confiscating their personal belongings. Santa Ana police Chief Carlos Rojas has said there was no such thing, but the homeless of the Round Table say differently, and maintain they've got video to prove it.

The links above are your invitation and reservation form for this year's upcoming hubbub harbinger of Hallowmas happiness:
"But," you ask, "Why would I want to go? What sort of fun could I possibly have?"
Well, to mention just a few of many options:
* Explore bite-licious delights & dilemmas of too many sweets as you sink your fangs into curious concoctions at this freaky fiesta.
* Hiss and howl to finger-snapping, toe-tapping mysterious melodies that will cause your body to spasm with tantalizing orgone-accumulating holographic sonic moves of shaking shoulders and wiggling hips turning you into a wild frenzy as you monster mash into the wee hours.
* Wander through the wonders and woes of costume selection, and the fun and fantasy of masks, both real and imagined, as you experience the ultimate in costume contests.
* And remember ladies, pain free "mammo-grahms" will once again be available at the CarnEVIL!

The road cleanup is this weekend, Saturday October 11th. Meet in the beach parking lot at 10:00am if you like to help us tidy up the roadways.
As for the annual Halloween party, it's a weekend later than usual. The weekend of November 8th. Rooms are going fast, so give Jim a call at 608-798-1954 to pre-reserve. I use the term "pre-reserve" since it's not official until the paperwork and payment is done. The flyer isn't out yet, but will be posted here when it's available.

[Note: This post is written by the webmaster after a brief conversation with FOMB.]
Yes, you read the title correctly — it isn't a typo. If you haven't heard about it yet, a play titled "Naked at Amazo" has been written about the historical issues surrounding the beach. Oddly enough, it opens during Nude Recreation Week (this week). For more info, check out the WSJ article, Sauk Prairie article, and the company's website. Performances are July 11, 12, 13 and August 1, 2, 3.
We encourage naturists to attend. It'll be an entertaining play and it is supporting a local new business. However, there are some things to beware of:
The schedule shows that Sunday's performance will include a Q&A session afterwards. I'm sure discussions will follow each performance, but Sunday's might be the lengthiest and most interesting.
Hopefully we'll see you there!

SUBJECT: Mazo Beach / Wisconsin River
TO: All naturists and other concerned citizens
Attention naturists:
This is an Action Alert from the Naturist Action Committee (NAC). In close coordination with the local naturist activists of Friends of Mazo Beach (FOMB), NAC is asking you to take specific action:
1) oppose the existing official weekday closure of Mazo Beach,
2) oppose efforts, official and otherwise, to eliminate altogether the traditional historical clothing-optional use of Mazo Beach.
The Master Plan for the Lower Wisconsin Riverway is being rewritten. Your participation is urgently needed. The deadline for public comment on the revised plan is June 16, 2014, but your comments will have greatest impact if they're received by June 11.
Mazo Beach is located on the upper section of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway, a 92 mile river corridor stretching from Prairie du Sac to the Mississippi River. Mazo Beach is one of very few remaining clothing-optional inland beaches in the United States. In addition to local users, the beach draws tens of thousands of summertime visitors from every state as well as some foreign countries.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is the governing agency that oversees the management of Mazo Beach. The DNR is currently in the process of rewriting the Riverway's 25 year old master plan and is requesting the public's input to be involved in helping them make decisions on the future management and use of the Riverway.
The goal of the process is to produce a plan that is based on and influenced by public preferences, existing statutes, administrative codes, scientific data, the best capabilities of the resources, and the judgment of resource management professionals to address management and recreational issues. Local and regional recreational supply, economy and social conditions will also be considered.
The DNR identifies recreation opportunities that include hunting, trapping, and fishing, canoeing, sandbar camping, bird watching and berry picking. Skinny-dipping has been a traditional historic activity at Mazo Beach for many decades. Although it is a recreational activity in which tens of thousands of people participate, skinny-dipping is not listed among the varied diverse recreation opportunities, because the DNR has never officially recognized or designated Mazo Beach as a clothing-optional beach.
The past two decades have seen a series of access policy changes implemented that have incrementally taken away either land or time from the beach. The latest policy change occurred last year when the DNR decided to close the entire property including the beach, islands immediately off the beach, and surrounding wooded areas to all public access both from land or water Monday through Friday, March 1 through September 15. Thus, the beach is now only open on weekends from 6 am to 8 pm.
Not only has the weekday closure limited the enjoyment of residents and tourists alike, but it has also impacted the livelihood of a number of local area businesses. Those businesses experienced a decrease in business last summer, because with the beach open for no more than two days a week, customers began avoiding vacations to the area.
Moreover, there has also been a great increase in focused efforts from a number of other sources to eliminate clothing-optional use of Mazo Beach altogether. More information can be obtained by contacting Friends of Mazo Beach at (608) 798-1954.
NAC asked for, and was given, a face-to-face meeting in Madison with Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp and her senior staff. That meeting was useful and instructive, but it did not resolve the situation.
NAC retains a year 'round professional lobbyist in Wisconsin.
NAC and FOMB have conducted extensive record gathering and research into the actual citations issued at Mazo Beach, with particular focus on the outcome at court.
NAC and FOMB have met with the Dane County District Attorney,local and regional officials, and with local business owners in the nearby Mazomanie and Sauk City areas.
The Naturist Action Committee and Friends of Mazo Beach continue to work closely together,as well as with other local naturists, naturist groups, area residents, and business owners.
NAC is asking you to partner with us in this crucial time and take the following specific action. The final deadline for your public input to the DNR is June 16, 2014, but more benefit can be gained if you submit your input before June 11th.
Information on the Master Planning by the DNR is here:http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/MasterPlanning/LowerWisconsin/
Using that as a starting point, there are many links to other information.
1. Complete a DNR questionnaire online.
The questionnaire deals with both recreational activities and resource management activities on the Riverway.
2. Spread the word of what is happening and the immediate urgency of getting involved now to all you know who care about the future of Mazo Beach.
3. Most importantly, contact the people listed belowimmediately. E-mails and letters will work much better than phone calls for this purpose.
NAC is reaching out to Naturists throughout the United States because many of you outside of Wisconsin (and some outside the United States!) have been occasional visitors to Mazo Beach.
Send your comments or suggestions on the master planning process via email to the primary organizers:
It will be beneficial to send copies to other officials. Blind copy (bcc) the following:
For more information concerning the officials associated with these e-mail addresses, see the NAC web site:www.naturistaction.org/mazo
If you are from Wisconsin, consider copying your email comments to your state senator and representative as well.
The DNR is open to hearing from Riverway users. Even if you are not a regular user, even if you've been to the beach just one time, it is vital to have your voice be heard.
When you're writing, be polite and concise. Share your personal perspective of the specialness of the beach. Explain how you are a good steward, and you care for the beach and area. Include how you improve the local economy in whatever ways you do (gas, groceries, motels, restaurants, tourist attractions, etc).
Here are some other simple points you may wish to make:
1. The American public supports designated areas for clothing-optional recreation. A public opinion survey commissioned in 2006 by the nonprofit Naturist Education Foundation and conducted by the prestigious Roper polling organization indicated that SEVENTY-FOUR PERCENT of Americans believe that "people who enjoy nude sunbathing should be able to do so without interference from local officials as long as they do so at a beach that is accepted for that purpose."
2. Mazo Beach has been a traditional skinny-dipping location for a very long time. Beyond its use by Native Americans, local authors such as August Derleth, Frederic Prokosch, and Karl Danzlin used to skinny-dip in the area. Some current beach users have been skinny-dipping at the beach since the 1950s. Generations of families enjoy and value the beach, decade after decade. You'll find naturists there ranging from newborns to elders in their 90's.
3. The Wisconsin DNR has alleged that its weekday closures of Mazo were needed to mitigate particularly high crime levels in clothing-optional areas. No facts have been provided to support the notion that nude sunbathing is a cause for the effect. No comparison has been made with crime in mandatorily clothed areas on public land. Obviously, if the "crime" is the act of public nudity itself, the reasoning is circular and flawed. There is also no evidence that clothing optional recreationists are criminally inclined or commit more crimes than other beach visitors. If other criminal conduct is in fact occurring, other enforcement or prevention options are available short of barring one class of beach visitors – on the ONLY public land in the state that has historically accommodated traditional skinny-dipping.
4. Over the decades, naturist and non-naturist users have, at times, shared neighboring sections of beach. At other times, they have used the same section of beach in harmony. Other user groups also share the same small piece of sand simultaneously and in harmony. It's a great example of a successful multi-user group land management plan.
5. The Riverway provides abundant public open space for a broad spectrum of recreational activities, while Mazo Beach comprises a tiny portion of the 93 mile Riverway. Remotely located, by land it requires a walk of over one mile, and by water it is hidden from the main channel of the wide river by a tree covered island where one must intentionally veer out of the natural main current and go to the left of the island to get near the beach.
6. Both our state constitution and the public trust doctrine assure us that the river is to be held in trust for us, and that we have the right to use and enjoy it forever. For the sake of the tens of thousands of beach users who enjoy the clothing-optional beach each season, as well as the local business owners who benefit from the money they spend while in the area, please re-open the beach during the week.
You can help the effort by letting us know what you've said. Please send copies of your correspondence to NAC and to FOMB. E-mail works best.

NAC, the political adjunct to The Naturist Society, helped establish Friends of Mazo Beach in 1992. Since that time, FOMB has worked on behalf of and represented naturists, non-naturists and business owners who appreciate and benefit from the beach to help protect and maintain the long-standing traditional clothing-optional usage of the area. If you would like to fill out a survey and be on their mailing list, or for any other inquiries you may have about the beach, email FOMB at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Naturist Action Committee board member Jim Dickey is a coordinator of Friends of Mazo Beach. Local information is available on the web site of FOMB: www.friendsofmazobeach.wordpress.com
The Naturist Action Committee is a nonprofit volunteer adjunct to The Naturist Society, a membership organization. NAC is committed to vigorous activism on behalf of the responsible clothing-optional use of public lands. NAC has no membership roster and receives no dues money. NAC relies entirely on the voluntary financial support of concerned naturists like YOU.
The essential response to the frightening threat at Mazo Beach has already become expensive. Won't you please send a generous donation to NAC?

Mazo Beach desperately needs your help! Please print off a petition (or petitions) and offer the opportunity to sign to everyone you know who understands the value of the beach and believes that Mazo Beach should remain as a clothing-optional beach as well as be re-opened Mondays thru Fridays.
Please note:
Please return by Tuesday June 10th for maximum impact in both meetings. (If returned later that week, it can still be included for the second meeting.)
Mail the petition to:
or scan and e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
Petition text:
I, the undersigned, am a naturist or non-naturist Mazo Beach user, a supporter, and / or a local business owner who benefits from this clothing-optional beach. I support the continued inclusion of long-standing traditional clothing-optional usage of the beach as a part of a multi-use land management plan for the Mazomanie Unit of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. Whether or not I choose nude recreation as my personal option, I oppose any action by the DNR or any other public officials to restrict or eliminate such usage. I strongly urge public officials to allocate the resources to make beach visits safe and enjoyable every day of the week, and I request priority to be given to preserving this site for the many tens of thousands who use it each year."

|Peer coaching: a collegial support for bridging the research to practice gap
|Johnson, Nanci W.
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The purposes of this study were to 1) determine if teacher knowledge of the instructional components of opportunity to respond (OTR) including academic prompting, wait time and positive feedback increase as a result of a reciprocal peer coaching (PC) intervention, 2) observe whether teacher delivery of the OTR components increase as a result of the PC intervention, 3) observe whether a change in teacher delivery of OTR components results in a change in at-risk student performance during academic instruction, and 4) examine teacher perceptions of PC as a beneficial process for improving their knowledge and use of effective practices. A single-subject, multiple baseline design was used to examine the impact of the peer coaching intervention on teacher instructional practice and at-risk students' academic and social behaviors. Findings indicated teachers were able to implement with fidelity a proscribed form of reciprocal peer coaching, and they perceived the process as beneficial for improving their knowledge and delivery of OTR components. However, there were not clear and strong functional relationships between the intervention and changes in teacher and student behavior. These results call into question the promotion of peer coaching for improving teacher knowledge and delivery of research based instructional practices.

Construction set to start on new BHS plant
Work will begin this month on the new manufacturing plant BHS Corrugated North America is building in Hardin Business Park in West Knox County, company officials said Friday.
The 35,500-square-foot, $5 million plant is expected to be operational by May and will employ about 35 workers.
BHS is closing an existing facility in Rutledge that produces the specialized rollers used to make corrugated cardboard.
Based in Weiherhammer, Germany, BHS considered several locations for its new East Tennessee plant, but the Hardin site offered a variety of advantages, primarily easy access to Interstates 75 and 40, McGhee Tyson Airport and Pellissippi State Community College.
"We had been looking for some time for a suitable site," said BHS Managing Director Lars Engel. "With the college nearby and the highways … this is the right environment."
BHS expects to attract some of the skilled workers it needs from Pellissippi State. The company is interested in working with the college and other manufacturers in the area to develop an apprenticeship program, said Greg Wolf, BHS Corrugated North America president.
BHS officials held a ground breaking ceremony Friday at the business park located at the intersection of Hardin Valley Road and Bertlekamp Lane.
The new plant will have the most modern roller technology in the world and 30 percent more production capacity than the Rutledge facility, Engel said.
The massive rollers that BHS makes — some of which are as long as a football field — produce the waved pattern in the middle of cardboard. In addition to East Tennessee, BHS has manufacturing plants in Germany, Brazil, the Czech Republic and China. Together the five plants make about 1,400 corrugating rolls per year.
BHS has about a 50 percent market share and it's major customers include International Paper, RockTenn, Georgia Pacific and other cardboard manufacturers, Wolf said.
With the technology and increased production capacity of the Knox County plant, BHS expects to attract new customers.
"We see this hopefully as a first step," Wolf said.
BHS is the first company to locate in Hardin Business Park, a project of The Development Corporation of Knox County.

Since 2010, the David Lynch Foundation has partnered with New Village Charter High School to deliver twice-daily Quiet Time sessions to girls in need. Among New Village students, 98% of girls come from low-income households, 84% are Hispanic or Latina, and 34% have only limited English language proficiency. These Transcendental Meditation-based Quiet Time sessions have been shown to reduce stress, improve wellbeing and significantly increase test scores and graduation rates.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Our young girls who live in urban environments are confronted with enormous pressure to perform academically, while coping with difficulties at home and in their neighborhoods. In communities where violence and crime are often the norm, many of today's young women suffer from stress and anxiety that can trigger numerous health, emotional and cognitive issues.
How will this project solve this problem?
The David Lynch Foundation will continue its partnership with New Village Charter High School during the 2013-14 academic year, offering TM to the entire student population. TM gives students a practical tool that empowers them to release stress and, at the same time, enliven their creativity and learning readiness.
Potential Long Term Impact
Research indicates that Transcendental Meditation (TM) is of significant value for students. Key findings including 10% improvement in academic achievement, 40% reduction in symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, and 86% decrease in suspension rates over two years. Meditating students also score higher on intelligence tests and standardized academic tests and exhibit higher graduation rates as compared to non-meditating students.

Pacific Prime Teams with Allianz Worldwide Care to Offer Unique Straight through Processing System
Pacific Prime clients paired with Allianz Worldwide Care policies can now benefit from an instant processing system which will enhance the entire application process.
Hong Kong (PRWEB) May 30, 2013
Hoping to revolutionise client experience, Pacific Prime and Allianz Worldwide Care have collaborated together to offer a Straight Through Processing service for Pacific Prime clients paired with Allianz Worldwide Care policies.
This instant processing web-portal will enhance the entire application process and will allow instant policy confirmation and certification upon application for fully medically underwritten plans.
Pacific Prime and Allianz Worldwide Care have worked closely for over 10 years now, constantly finding ways to improve their services to their clients and this latest offer will undoubtedly strengthen the relationship between the two companies. Furthermore, Pacific Prime clients will be the first brokered clients to experience the fastest processing system currently available.
Allianz Worldwide Care previously offered an exceptionally fast processing system to their clients but after Maria Loughran, Broker Relationship manager for Individual Business at Allianz Worldwide Care and Owen Ryan, CCO at Pacific Prime, discussed how the two companies could further benefit one another, the new processing system was developed.
The Straight Through Processing system is an online portal that will enable the administration departments from both companies to work closely together and significantly shorten the application process. Furthermore, in regard to new applicants, instant confirmation of cover will be readily available where no further additional underwriting analysis is required.
Previously, it could have taken up to three days for policy certificates to be returned to clients but with the new system, Pacific Prime expects clients will receive certificates and confirmation within 15 minutes of Allianz Worldwide Care receiving an application.
"Normally, large insurers struggle to process the high volume of applications they receive efficiently but with instant confirmation now available through the new online system, this will reinforce Allianz Worldwide Care´s position as a market leader in the international private medical insurance sector," commented Jason Armer, Team leader at Pacific Prime.
Pacific Prime are pleased that Allianz Worldwide Care are making the changes necessary to meet the demands of the modern market and believe that the commitment of both companies will provide clients with the best user experience possible.

Boy, 14, charged with stealing $10,000 ring
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 2:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 2:52 p.m.
OCALA - A 14-year-old boy accused of stealing cash and rings from a home was arrested and charged with residential burglary and grand theft, according to a Sheriffs Office report.
On Jan. 12, deputies went to the 3000 block of Southeast 86th Place in reference to a burglary. The homeowners told them that, while they were feeding their horse on Jan. 11, someone entered their home and stole the money and rings.
One of the rings, a two-carat diamond ring, is worth an estimated $10,000.
A neighbor asked them if they had seen a man walking by their home. But since they hadn't seen him, the couple didnt think much of it. It wasnt until the next day, when they were getting dressed, that they noticed the items were missing.
After the teen was identified as a possible suspect, Detective Brandon Spillman received permission to search his room. Inside, investigators found a garage door opener that belong to the victim, according to the report.
They also reportedly found two rings. A relative - whom he had given the expensive ring - handed it over to the authorities.
The boy told investigators he used the cash to buy an iPod and a cell phone.
The teen was arrested and taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center.

Gear Review

Best pack. No questions
I absolutely love this pack. Loaded it up with all my essential gear with room to spare. Excellent internal frame design and support system. A ton of pockets for everything you would possibly need on a 3-4 day hike, if you pack light. The straps on the bottom I use to haul my 2 person tent. Includes an integrated rain cover, so you don't have to worry about your stuff getting wet. Osprey packs are a must have for any camper/hiker/backpacker, just make sure you go get yourself sized at a local store to be sure what size you need.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Sea Mist, a beautiful 'Old Florida' home sits right on the beach in the 5700 block of Estero Blvd, featuring Florida red cypress interior, Florida pine floors and bay windows facing the Gulf. This home was renovated in 2010 and has a kitchen with granite countertops, new flat screen television and free wi-fi. Master bedroom has private bath, king sized bed and bay window. Guest room 1 has two twin beds, private bath with tub. Guest room 2 is located off the kitchen, has a double bed and private bath. A sleeper sofa with queen mattress is in the living room. Please look at our pictures for further details. An on-the-beach professional manager handles your booking and stay.
Enjoy long walks on the white sand beach, relax on the patio or screened porch and watch the sunset, grill your supper or eat out, then let the sound of the surf lull you to sleep at night: all you have to do is crack open a window in the master bedroom and you WILL hear the surf on even the quietest nights.
This beachfront house is in a very desirable neighborhood of single-family homes, 1/2 mile south of Publix Supermarket, 1/2 mile north of Santini Plaza. Each bedroom has its own bath for maximum privacy. Full-sized washer and dryer are located off the kitchen.
This picture is of my wife and I in January 2011, on the beach. We live in Dayton, Ohio. My parents bought this house in 1969 while I was away at college. I had been to the beach before, but saw the house for the first time at Christmas 1969. It has been my favorite place ever since then.
Sun Palace Vacations purchased this house in 1969
My family drove through Fort Myers Beach in a truck camper in 1966, stopped for lunch and fell in love with the place. Just like that, Mom, Dad, me, my brother and sister were all looking forward to our next vacation on this beach. For the next couple of years we rented a space to park the camper on spring break, then bought this house. It wasn't meant as a rental, but my parents stopped wintering there in 2009, so we updated the house to make it an attractive place to share. The house has now passed down to my wife and me; we both love it and plan to keep it for our children, who are the third generation of our family to enjoy this comfortable old house on one of the most beautiful beaches we know.
I hope you will like it as much as we do.
I step back in time when I go here. The house was built in 1946 and it has original hardwood floors, Florida red cypress walls and a metal roof. Usually a breeze blows through the house, making the central air conditioner unnecessary from fall to spring. There's not much plastic here, no Xbox, no hot tub, no pool; just Florida as it was meant to be.
Details: Yes, we have cable and Wi-fi; the kitchen is modern; a washer and dryer are included; I employ professional managers to take care of your needs while you are visiting. This is a nice place.
The Publix supermarket is 1/2 mile away; restaurants and other shopping are close by. Three shopping malls, including one outlet mall, are within 30 minutes away on the mainland.
In short, I have tried to make this home a comfortable place where you will relax and feel part of traditional Florida, without missing the essential amenities. Other houses may have swimming pools, giant marble bathrooms, tiki bars, etc. Those places cost a lot more if they have a location like ours, but they are no more fun to stay in!
The house was great! We really enjoyed the location. The house was clean and well organized.
We would like to rent it again next year.
(Guest stayed December 29, 2012-January 5, 2013)
this place has been such a dream come true, none of these pictures can come close to doing it justice. Very clean, comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully taken care of, we even had the beach combed for us. We had 4 adults and 3 young children in our party, with two dogs, my 5 year old is in a wheelchair, considering we can still carry him and his wheelchair it wasn't bad compared to some of the stairs of seen on these houses a we've been able to maneuver him easily through the house, everything was perfect, we didn't need to bring half of the things we brought because the house was already equipped, there's a nice shade tree on the beach, a grill with two cans of propane, washer and dryer, dishwasher, all the amenities of your own home, lots of areas for the kids to play, the beach is literally steps out your back door, the deck is fantastic, we've driven and walked up and down estero and can't find another placed we'd rather stay, so private, the beach seems almost secluded, best vacation I've ever had I don't know much about sightseeing or the adventure seeking because we did nothing but lounge on the beach all day everyday, it was a short trip into town for gifts that was really nice, we plan to make this a yearly trip from here on out, thank you so much for this unbelievable stay :)
Great Place - very clean - location and beach and view were awesome! New kitchen was very nice. I would definitely recommend
We stayed at this beautiful home on Fort Myers Beach the last week of January 2014. This home was immaculate and certainly met our high expectations of cleanliness! Home was tastefully decorated and felt warm and welcoming. We loved our stay and was yet the BEST place we've rented in Fort Myers Beach!! We slept with the windows open every night and listened to the ocean all night...so relaxing. Location was perfect for just about anything we wanted to do. Owners left a great narrative which included tips around the house and suggestions for restaurants, etc. Very helpful! The beach, well, let's just say it was amazing. To wrap up this review, all I can say is the first night there I sat out on the beach in front of the house and said to my husband....I feel like I've died and gone to heaven because only God could make something so beautiful! This is a well kept, very much loved home.
Truly enjoyed our 2 week stay. Loved location and the layout of the house. Photos on line were what we expected and the house was very clean and maintained. Got beautiful pictures of sunrises and sunsets and also found ourselves cooking in because of the wonderful view from the dining room. Would definitely consider renting again if we remain in good health. Loved the new deck and wonderful shade tree. First time renting a house since we had been rver's and found this house to be perfect for our vacation. Hope to be back in 2014. Have a happy, healthy New Year!
We loved staying in this comfortable home w/
great deck/patio area right on the beach. The
location was perfect and house is equipped w/
everything we needed . Management & owner
were responsive to our questions. We hope to
return frequently.
We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Mist Cottage however there were several things that should have been corrected prior to our arrival. We were given a form from Caldwell Banker to complete showing items that were in disrepair and these included a very loose kitchen faucet, the dining room blind that did not work, and the TVs in the LR and DR that were not working. The faucet was fixed on Monday but it was later in the week before we had TV usage. The DR blind was not repairable and it was not replaced and this obstructed our view of the ocean when at the dining table. The bottom lock on the kitchen door should be replaced as one of us unknowingly locked it on our way out and when we returned we were locked out of the house. CB did not have a key to the lock but fortunately we were able to get into the porch facing the ocean and into the house through a window. As stated earlier we did enjoy the easy access to the beach and the beautiful sunsets. The items mentioned above should be checked prior to future rentals.

Both the Google and Diets in Review list do have their share of drastic, out-there fads. Beside raspberry ketones (the No. 3 Google diet search) Googlers were interested in the K-E Diet (short for ketogenic enteral nutrition), which involves inserting a plastic hose through the nose, down through the esophagus and into the stomach, making it harder to eat.
Featured at No.4 on the Diets in Review list, the HCG Diet asks dieters to consume fewer than 500 calories per day, supplemented by daily shots of a hormone produced by pregnant women called human chorionic gonadotrophin --hCG for short.
But even though eight supplements, a baby food diet and several supermodel-sanctioned cleanses made it into this year's top 25, Koskie said she is heartened to see that most of the weight loss methods, especially near the top of the site's list, are relatively sane and sensible.
"I think things like Weight Watchers and Jillian Michaels are there year after year because people can stick with them and they actually get results without starving themselves or making themselves crazy," she said.

A compact circuit package includes a housing providing a cavity for containing heat generating electrical components. A ceramic substrate is mounted to close the cavity. The package is adapted to be mounted in heat transferring relationship with a heat sink. The bottom surface of the compact circuit package is provided with a self-contained chamber containing a supply of grease. The chamber is defined by the package bottom surface and a bubble of plastic film which overlies the substrate and which is removable sealed to the package around the periphery of the substrate. In this form, the compact circuit package can be transported and stored until ready for use. When the package is ready to be mounted to a heat sink, pressure such as by a finger is applied to the top surface of the bubble film to thereby spreadingly apply the grease to the surface of the substrate. The film is then removed from the bottom of the compact circuit package and the greasey underside of the film placed into engagement with the heat sink surface and rubbed, as by a finger, to thereby spread the remaining residue grease onto the heat sink. The film is then removed and discarded and the compact circuit package mounted to the heat sink.
1. A compact circuit package mounted in heat transferring relation to the wall of a heat sink, comprising, in combination:
(a) a housing having a cavity containing heat generating electrical components,
(b) the lower portion of said housing providing a peripheral rim surrounding said cavity,
(c) an electrical insulating heat conducting substrate surrounded by said rim and closing said cavity,
(d) a bubble of plastic film secured to said housing and overlying said substrate, said housing with said film forming an enclosed chamber,
(e) heat transferring grease disposed in said chamber for spreading in a layer onto said substrate upon the application of external pressure to said film,
(f) said film being removable from said housing so that said layer of grease on said substrate is exposed in subsequent contact with the wall of said heat sink.
2. The package of claim 5 wherein said film comprises means retaining a residue of grease on its underside after said removal from said housing for application of a further layer of grease to the wall of a heat sink.
3. The package of claim 6 in which said film is initially adhesively secured to said rim of said housing and is peelable therefrom to expose said layer of grease on said substrate.
4. The package of claim 3 in which said heat transferring grease is initially disposed in said enclosed chamber in the form of spaced deformable nodules spread out into a layer by pressing down on said film at said nodules.
This invention relates to the mounting of a compact circuit package to a heat sink or the like.
Heat conducting, electrically insulating substrates have been advantageously employed to retain heat generating electrical components along a first substrate side while a second oppositely disposed substrate side may be mounted to a heat sink to permit the heat generated by the electrical components to pass through the electrically insulating substrate to be dissipated at the external heat sink. One desirable construction is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,958,075.
A wide variety of circuit constructions may be located at or near the insulating substrate and within a cavity provided by the surrounding insulated housing. By way of example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,196,411 and 4,218,724.
Referring more specifically to U.S. Pat. No. 4,218,724, heat conducting, electrically insulating substrates containing one or more heat generating electrical components have been advantageously connected to an insulating housing including a cavity surrounded by one or more edges or abutments which engage the substrate to limit the extent of entry of the substrate into the cavity. Clamping pressure may be applied to the insulating housing to clamp the substrate against an external heat dissipating object such as a heat sink to permit heat to pass from the substrate to the external heat sink without encountering any intervening thermal barriers such as solder, metalization, epoxy or the like.
The insulating housing is usually molded from a suitable plastic and provided with an upper cavity portion which is closed by the substrate and which contains the heat generating electrical components. The bottom housing portion is normally generally planular, surrounds the substrate, and is provided with relatively thin opposed outwardly extending mounting flanges through which threaded bolts or the like extend to mount the assembly to a heat sink.
The electrically insulating substrate, which is usually made from ceramic sheet material is mounted to the housing bottom surface and may be adapted to extend outwardly beyond the surface or may be flush therewith.
It is highly desirable to provide for maximum heat transfer between the ceramic substrate and the heat sink when the compact circuit package is mounted thereto. In order to fill the interstices in the substrate and heat sink surfaces, silicon grease has previously been manually applied to these surfaces before mounting to thereby improve the heat transfer characteristics. Such grease application was normally done in situ, wherein the circuit package installer dipped his fingers into a container of grease and spread the grease onto the ceramic substrate and heat sink with his fingers. This was not only messy, but also required that the installer had a supply of grease readily at hand.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved concept of supplying and applying grease to the interface between the sustrate of a compact circuit package and the heat sink to which the substrate is ultimately mounted.
In accordance with the various aspects of the invention, the bottom surface of the compact circuit package is provided with a self-contained chamber containing a supply of grease. The chamber is defined by the package bottom surface and a bubble of plastic film which overlies the substrate and which is removably sealed to the package around the periphery of the substrate. In this form, the compact circuit package can be transported and stored until ready for use.
When the package is ready to be mounted to a heat sink, pressure such as by a finger is applied to the top surface of the bubble film to thereby spreadingly apply the grease to the surface of the substrate. The film is then removed from the bottom of the compact circuit package and the greasy underside of the film placed into engagement with the heat sink surface and rubbed, as by a finger, to thereby spread the remaining residue grease onto the heat sink. The film is then removed and discarded and the compact circuit package mounted to the heat sink.
The present invention addresses and solves the need for a single, effective technique for providing thermoconductive material at the interface of the heat sink and the circuit package for enhancing heat transfer. Another solution is shown in my co-pending application Ser. No. 06/547,031, filed Oct. 31, 1983.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the best mode presently contemplated by the inventor for carrying out the invention.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a compact circuit package constructed in accordance with certain aspects of the invention, with parts in section;
FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view of the package and showing the bubble chamber;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 and illustrating spreading of the grease onto the package sustrate;
FIG. 4 illustrates removal of the film from the package;
FIG. 5 is a perspective showing of the subsequent application of the greasy side of the film to the heat sink and spreading of the remaining grease thereonto; and
FIG. 6 is a side elevation of the compact circuit package mounted to a heat sink.
As shown in the drawings, the concepts of the invention are directed to a compact circuit package 1 of the general type disclosed in the above identified U.S. Pat. No. 4,218,724. Basically, package 1 includes an electrically insulating housing 2 of molded thermoplastic or the like. Housing 2 includes a rectangular upper portion 3 defining an internal cavity 4 adapted to have a plurality of heat generating electrical components 5 disposed therein. At least some of the components 5 may be mounted on a flat substrate 6 of any suitable material which serves to close the open portion of cavity 4. The lower portion of housing 2 includes a peripheral rim 7 which surrounds substrate 6, with the latter being mounted to housing 2 in any suitable well-known manner. In the present embodiment, substrate 6 is basically flush with rim 7, although the substrate could protrude therebeneath. End flanges 8 extend from the bottom of housing 2 for purposes to be described.
The compact circuit package 1 is adapted to be ultimately mounted to an external heat dissipating object, such as the planular wall of a heat sink 9 or the like. See FIG. 6. In so mounting, it is desirable that the maimum interface heat transferring contact be made therebetween.
For this purpose, and referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, package 1 is provided with an enclosed chamber 10 on its lower side. Chamber 10 is defined by the exposed surface 11 of substrate 6 and rim 7, together with a thin bubble of plastic film 12 which overlies substrate 6. Film 12 may be made of any suitable flexible plastic material such as various vinyl based thermoplastic resins developed and sold by Dow Chemical Co. Film 12 is sealingly secured to package 1 around the periphery of substrate 6 as by strips of adhesive 13 applied to rim 7. One end of film 12 extends outwardly beyond adhesive 13 to form a pull tab 14.
Chamber 10 confiningly contains a supply of heat transfer enhancing grease 15 which in the present embodiment is shown as a plurality of spaced deformable grease nodules 16. Grease 16 is preferably of the silicon based type and may be applied in any suitable manner including the screening process.
The complete package assembly with its self-contained grease supply, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, may be manufactured at any desired location and stored for later use.
When package 1 is to be installed, it is taken to the site of heat sink 9. The face 17 of heat sink 9 should be as flat, smooth and clean as possible. Furthermore, it is preferable that heat sink 9 be made of Aluminum or Copper which has sufficient thermal mass to maintain the temperature of substrate 6 relatively low, such as below 100� C.
Turning to FIG. 3, the grease 15 within chamber 10 is first caused to spread out into a layer, as at 18, onto exposed surface 11 of substrate 6 within chamber 10. This is accomplished by pressing down on film 12 at nodules 16. Film 12 with a remaining residue 19 of grease thereon is then removed from package 1 by pulling on pull tab 14 to peelingly release the film from the peripheral adhesive 13, as shown in FIG. 4 leaving layer 18 exposed. Referring to FIG. 5, film 12 is then positioned over face 17 of heat sink 9 so that the underside of the film with the grease residue 19 thereon is in contact therewith. Pressing and wiping of film 12 onto heat sink 9 causes the residue to be transferred to face 17 in a spreadout layer 20. Film 12 may then be removed and discarded.
FIG. 6 illustrates the final mounting of compact circuit package 1 to heat sink 9, as by bolts 21 passing through flanges 8 and threadingly into threaded openings 22 in the heat sink wall. The resultant assembly provides a final interposed grease layer 23 comprising a joined composite of layers 18 and 20.
The invention provides a unique concept for increasing the thermal transfer through grease at the interface between a compact circuit package and a heat sink. If desired, instructions for utilization of the inventive concept may be printed directly onto film 12.
Various modes of carrying out the invention are contemplated as being within the scope of the following claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as the invention.

Interpretation of Law and Judges Communities
- Marek Zirk-Sadowski
- … show all 1 hide
The principle of omnia sunt interpretanda refers to the derivational conception and derivational theory of interpretation. The principle appears in disputes concerning the role of a judge in the process of interpretation, and this has produced an effect that Polish theory of law is currently getting closer to the conceptions presented in the American debate on activism and textualism. In the practice of jurisdiction, the principle of omnia sunt interpretanda is mostly invoked outside theoretical context. It becomes a manifestation of a new dimension of judicial independence, namely an independent authority over the meaning of legal text. In the following paper the legal cultures and legal theories involved in the dispute are being disclosed in order to put in question the possibility of achieving a clear result of interpretation against a background of a crisis of the relations between law and law-making state, which manifests itself in the peculiar process of legal institutions becoming autonomous in relation to state institutions. In this context, the aforementioned principle constitutes the manifestation of the way in which courts come up with a new definition of the role of the third (sui generic) power. The certain organizational requirements placed upon the courts (especially the SAC and provincial administrative courts) are being scrutinized in order to find out in which mode it is possible to at least reduce the degree of inconsistency of the results of interpretation. Here, the attempt to organize a community of judges for the activities of legal interpretation undertaken by them plays a crucial role.

Kearney, Kingsbury win World Cup moguls event
PARK CITY, Utah -- American Hannah Kearney won the women's moguls with 24.83 points Thursday night on the opening day of the World Cup freestyle event at Deer Valley Ski Resort.
Kearney, the Olympic champion from Norwich, Vt., who has already qualified for the Sochi Games, won for the sixth time Deer Valley to prevent a Canadian podium sweep in both men's and women's moguls finals. Making her 100th World Cup start, Kearney won for the second time this season and 38th overall.
"It feels really good to be rewarded by the judges for pushing myself," Kearney said. "I felt a little bit out of control, but they didn't punish me too much and that's a nice thing because I need to charge. It felt good to pull it together and have the maturity to feel out of control, then pull it together and handle the bottom air well. I love this course and I love once you've figured out the course, it makes the second competition less stressful. You sort of feel more confident already."
Canada's Mikael Kingsbury had 26.39 points to win the men's final, his third straight World Cup moguls win to open the season. Alex Blodeau was second at 25.29, and Marc-Antoine Gagnon third with 24.85.
In the women's event, defending World Cup dual moguls champion Chloe Dufour-Lapointe was second behind Kearney with 23.45 points. She edged younger sister Justine Dufour-Lapointe, was third at 23.33s. Heather McPhie of Bozeman, Mont., was fourth, and a third Dufour-Lapointe sister, Maxime, was fifth.
"Fourth is always a little rough, but it's my best result of the season," McPhie said. "I'm right on track with what I'm working on. I just have to believe it's going to happen. I just have to get a little faster. I love this course."
The event continues Friday night with men's and women's aerial finals, and a second moguls competition is set for Saturday.

TORONTO ( TheStreet) -- Generex Biotechnology (GNBT) CEO Anna Gluskin may have run afoul of U.S. regulations governing experimental drugs when she spoke to investors earlier this year about the prospects for the company's Oral-lyn insulin spray.
Gluskin said at a January conference that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had essentially granted a "mini-approval" for Oral-lyn and that Generex was moving ahead with plans to commercialize and market the diabetes treatment to doctors and a wide swath of diabetes patients in the U.S.
The FDA does not have a "mini-approval" process, and Generex has not filed an application seeking full marketing approval for Oral-lyn as a treatment for diabetes, according to FDA spokeswoman Karen Riley. Generex is still only about halfway through a single phase III study of Oral-lyn, according to the company's latest corporate update.
In September 2009, FDA permitted Generex to make the still-experimental Oral-lyn available to certain diabetes patients under the regulatory agency's expanded access program, known formally as a "Treatment IND" protocol. The FDA program grants access to experimental, unapproved drugs for patients with serious or life-threatening diseases who lack other treatment options.The standards by which the FDA reviews an experimental drug for the expanded access program are different and less thorough than if FDA were reviewing the drug for final marketing approval, according to FDA regulations confirmed by Riley. FDA rules do permit companies to recoup costs associated with granting expanded access to unapproved drugs, but companies like Generex are prohibited from marketing or generating any profits while operating under Treatment IND approvals.
