First off, I hope your school is handling this well & not jumping to drugs immediately - sadly many do. If they are doing that, know that there are a LOT of 'therapies' and modifications that can help. I forget - are you in NY state? If so, there are a lot of laws they have to follow as well
Does he get any services (OT etc?) If so, tap into the OT - they have so many sensory things they can do to help kids with this - just a few off the bat:
use a playground ball, inflate it just enough so that he can sit on it without touching the chair. This mimics a stability ball, makes the child use core muscles to stabilize himself & thus helps to organize his system & calm him down. Can use wedge mats etc but I find the ball to be more effective
Weighted vests/lap pals - you need an OT to do this b/c you need the right amt of weight & limits on time BUT the deep pressure the weight provides helps kids to calm down & organize themselves
Give him heavy work - not to be confused with having him just run around - fill a backpack with books that's heavy & have him deliver it to the library & vice versa - again the weight will help organize & calm him. Plus he will think he's doing a job, not 'therapy'. You can do this at home - fill a suitcase w/ heavy things & have him carry it up the stairs, pushing the vacuum, lifting & carrying heavy boxes etc.
Deep breathing in cold air - get him running around so that he breaths deeply outside in the cold air - the cold air helps the sensory system - not exactly sure how - but even just 5 min of this during the day will help
I have a lot more ideas & a lot of experience w/ this so feel free to PM me. Details will help me help you

we are in limbo... it is a weird situation. the school is good. very good. his teacher, well, i will be diplomatic and just say that my mother taught me if i can't say anything nice...
i met with the principal in december after witnessing a very disturbing incident in which jeremy was treated very poorly and extremely unfairly by his teacher. i demanded an iep for him in order to help deal with problematic behaviours in a more constructive manner. the principal was very understanding and supportive and i have heard nothing since. apparently ieps will often arrive with a report card so that they can be reviewed and be the main topic of discussion at the next p-t interview. that should be next friday. so we shall see.
a referral for OT has been submitted, so far all we have gotten out of it is a package of papers on how to get our child to print more neatly.
a referral for an itinerant EA has been submitted but it takes a long time to come through.
in the meantime, j is in a class in which over 40% of the children have an "identified exceptionality" including j -- and his teacher treats him like he is just a kid who refuses to behave, i.e. the pain in her butt that just won't go away. every time we have come up with something as a strategy to help him (like errands carrying heavy things to other parts of the school) she takes it away as a "consequence."
and then gets more frustrated with his behaviour. then she takes away recess as a consequence. and then gets more frustrated with his behaviour. no matter how we try to intervene and advocate, she has found a way to continue doing it "her way" which for some reason always seems to be to j's detriment.
we will be switching schools very soon as we moved out of this school's district in the fall. however, we wanted to have him stabilized with paperwork in place prior to starting at a new school. the teacher appears to be pushing him out the door, and yet no paperwork. *sigh*

In the states, there has to be a meeting w/ the parents involved to generate an IEP. If you can, you want to make sure that his adaptations are in the IEP & therefore cannot be taken away as punishment.
I would really push the district to get his paperwork in place. In the states an IEP is a legal document & the schools can be held accountable for not following it. Definitely PM me - I'll try to help any way I can. Look into getting a parent advocate too

Jeremy is a great kid and his teacher sounds like a nitwit:hit:

we are adding quite a bit to it...as a living document we should be on the right road once we add what we need to.
one week left with the teacher we can't say many nice things about

When Patience was very young the school pushed meds - almost as a must due for "our part" of treatment and it took years to work our way through meds and then finally out of them again - they all had side effects and the ups and downs were worse then letting her process naturally. We used the IEP as - instructions to best teach her - and presented this understanding in every meeting. I hated the labeling process and focused on - how she is wired - It wasn't until Jr High that a social worker was able to term it in a way PJ could understand ~
It wasn't about her being different - cuz everyone is
What was presenting the biggest challenge in her behavior was that one second delay between that she thought & what she did
She explained that many ADHD children say & do things before the thought is complete - loosing their ability to filter the positive & negative
so we made a little index card sign that she could hold on her desk - one side had a symbol for good idea & the other a symbol for bad idea and we used that to help with her filtering process .. having something in her hand to help her focus was great ..
This is one of many little tricks we used along the way .. I find now that those little baby steps of behavior modification are the things she still uses today (at almost 18) - we started working with early intervention services when she was only 3 years old & was recovering for a major trauma - that work seemed to lead directly to testing & labeling... which helped her get services but sadly the paperwork would get to new places before she would and teaches far too often acted as if they knew "the type" and how to handle her ... so everywhere she went I advocated for them to see and understand HER before deciding they knew how to handle her ~ J is lucky to to have such mindful & supportive parents

I never read mine. I would scan for pertinent health info (allergies etc) and that's it. I always read the IEP's about 2 to 3 weeks after they started in my class. I have seen ridiculous goals, reports etc. You never really know who they're coming from.
Now that I work in EI, when I write goals for IEP's of kids I work with entering the school system, I put very generic goals & very few
Posted 05 March 2012 - 01:49 PM
That's it Mama Kel...i want to make the document something real to help my son get through this institution with something gained
as opposed to ridiculous theoretical points that have no real basis in the classroom.
Jeremy started at his new school today, i'm very nervous for him but i should not be i guess as he usually does really well before his comfort level gets the better of him.
i am glad work has layed me off for Jeremy's transition.

And remember, despite your best effort, some kids turn out like this.
as long as mine don't wear really short shorts, I'm okay with that

(and love your perspective on the job )
Posted 06 March 2012 - 01:23 PM
he's very happy not to have to be doing things differently than all the others...i really hope he strives to continue that. I don't mean to say i hope he conforms with everything i just think he likes to not be centred out and segregated by a study carroll away from everyone.
With all the running around we did before this week to get him downtown and to his grandma's every morning extra early so we could get to work he was getting rundown i think.
He seems happier.

One of the few benefits of the prolonged NHL labor dispute is that players coming back from injury appreciate having a little extra time to get rested up. But not Nathan Horton. Despite missing significant time last year after his second concussion in seven months, Horton is reportedly no longer on the road to recovery — he's ready to play. "Nathan is healthy and ready for the season to start," said Horton's agent, Paul Krepelka, according to ESPNBoston.com. "Has been for a while now. He's ready to go and has been ready to go." Horton was first hurt when he took a hard hit on the open ice in Game 3 of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals, a blow that sparked the Bruins' capturing the Cup. Horton missed the rest of that series but came back for the next season and played 46 games before getting a second concussion. Despite his efforts to return for Boston's next playoff stretch, he was still having trouble in his recovery as last season wound down. He appears to be all better now, though, and Bruins fans can look forward to seeing him soon — if only the league could get its act together, too.

One thing people don't know about me: I'm a twin.
Recommended book: "Your Best Life Now: Seven Steps to Living at Your Full Potential" by Joel Osteen - very motivating and inspirational.

Two teens were being held in jail on bond Wednesday night after a judge ruled they could be tried as adults in an August attempted robbery and shooting.
After a Wednesday transfer hearing for Llyntrell Jones, 16, and Jerron Huey, 17, in Madison County Juvenile Court, Judge Christy Little ruled that there was probable cause that committed the crimes they were charged with. Little also ruled that the case could go to adult court, according to a news release from the Jackson Police Department.
Police said both teens have been charged with attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated assault. Huey also faces a charge of tampering with evidence.
Both teens, whose bonds were set at $25,000 each, were transported from the Madison County Juvenile Detention Center and taken to the Madison County Jail.
Police said the case will be presented to the Madison County grand jury, who will decide if the teens should be indicted. Instead of aggravated assault charges, investigators, after speaking with prosecutors, intend to present an attempted murder charge to the Madison County grand jury.
Police said they were called to the corner of Campbell and Wisdom streets shortly after 7 a.m. on Aug. 20. A 53-year-old man told officers that he had been walking in the 500 block of Campbell Street when he saw two teenage males on a porch. The teens called out to him, telling the man to come back after he had passed them.
The man told police that as he started walked back toward the teens, he saw one of them with a gun in his hand. The man turned, walked away and then heard gunshots. The man ran and called the police.
Police said officers searched the area and went back to the house, where the man had seen the teens. Persons of interest were developed by police and they learned that the teens had just been taken to school.
Investigators went to the school and Jones and Huey were identified as the two teenage males. Both were taken into custody and transported to the juvenile detention center.
Police said further investigation determined that Jones and Huey called the man over to rob him after they saw him walking by. Huey shot at the man multiple times when the man ran away.
Huey then discarded the gun, police said and he and Jones went to school.

Why Nigerians turn to vigilante groups
Crime is notoriously rife in Africa's most populous country. Unwilling to become victims of armed robberies and violent assaults, many of Nigeria's 163 million inhabitants accept patrols that comb the streets for criminals and set up guard outside households and businesses as part of daily life. But their protectors are not necessarily members of the official security forces: they are often local vigilantes who have taken it upon themselves to protect their communities when they feel the police are not up to the job.
Vigilantes have long been a feature of Nigerian society. As residents of the communities they protect, they tend to enjoy a more trusting relationship with community members than regular police officers do. Incidents of police brutality and inefficiency encourage the public to turn towards vigilantes in their neighbourhoods. A
national survey
carried out by the
CLEEN Foundation
in 2012 found a mere 50% Nigerians were willing to report crimes to the police, which itself is an improvement on past police engagement figures. CLEEN is a Lagos-based NGO that aims to reduce crime by promoting accessible justice and dialogue.
Many vigilantes also have a difficult relationship with the police and prefer dealing with captured criminals themselves. At times uneducated and unaware of the legal framework, they do not always report crimes and some take the people they arrest to their traditional rulers, effectively taking justice into their own hands.
Vigilante groups come in numerous shapes and sizes: some belong to organised, nationwide structures while others are made up of a dozen or so unemployed locals. They are a far cry from the mob justice groups that have caused public outage in recent years and helped make 'vigilante' a somewhat negative term. In October 2012
four University students
were burnt alive by locals in Port Harcourt who accused them of being thieves. The event was filmed and posted on the internet, reigniting the debate on vigilantism in Nigeria and prompting calls to ban vigilantes altogether.
To avoid association with mob justice groups, the CLEEN Foundations refers to vigilantes as voluntary or community police officers. Its Executive Director, Kemi Okenyodo, told France 24 "they won't go away, and a lasting solution needs to be found that opens channels of discussion between the police, the public and voluntary police services".

Marcus Ayankoya is the Regional Commandant of Ijebu, in the
Vigilante Group of Nigeria
There aren't enough policemen, and they aren't locals. We're indigenous, we know individuals personally, so we can trace people more easily. The police are strangers, so we need to help them. The police are happy to work with us: I'm on operation with them regularly. If we find something out, we go to them with our information, and if they need us, they come to us. We can arrest people, but we cannot detain people. When we arrest someone, we immediately handover them over to the police, and it's the police who investigate and prosecute.

We don't have problems with Islamist militants here; our big problem is armed robbery.
Many people in our community have a
crime alert
on their mobile phones, which means when there's a problem they don't have to ring us, they just dial a code and we receive the alert. Then we know to send a team down to where they are. The alert will tell us their address and their name. It helps us. In one day we might received up to five alerts, but on others, if there's no crime, we won't receive any.

We have an office which is staffed all the time, but none of us are paid. This is not my full-time job: I'm a teacher. I do it when I'm not at work, or when there's an emergency I'll get call and I'll leave work. We're hoping that soon the job will become full-time and paid.
Marcus Ayankoya
"It was reassuring to know the vigilantes were there"
Ifeyinwa Elueze grew up near Lagos.
When I was growing up there was a lot of crime. The vigilante group near me would patrol about six or seven men at a time. At night I'd hear them: they'd make a noise with some kind of instrument or whistle, and I'd know they were there. It was reassuring to know the vigilantes were there.
The problem is they don't have legal backing, many of them are unemployed, they might not be accountable to anyone, they have no legal recognition and so there's a problem with recognising them in the street. People who aren't vigilantes can pretend to be vigilantes, so you trust them, and then they rob you, or commit some other crime.
They didn't have guns; they had batons. They didn't wear uniforms. In some communities they're sponsored by a rich person who has access to arms, which they give to the vigilantes.
I hope that in ten or twenty years things will be more organised so that there won't be a need for vigilantes. Criminals take advantage of the need for vigilantes to do things that are evil. Civil society groups who inform and educate about crime would be fine, but not people who go out and fight.

The Watchlist – Robert Snodgrass
Filed under: The Watchlist - Posted by: Paul
With a single point accrued from their last six fixtures, it's been a winter to forget for Chris Hughton's Norwich. After a poor start to the season, the Canaries seemed to have steadied the ship over autumn, with Carrow Road wins over the likes of Arsenal and United, but the barren festive period has harvested little but despair, with the Norfolk side enduring the worst run of form of any side in the bottom half of the table…
Hughton, however, will take solace in those home triumphs as his side prepare for a run of three games in front of their own fans over the next four Gameweeks. Spurs, Fulham and Everton are all set to roll up to Carrow Road and with a trip to QPR also on their short-term agenda, Fantasy faith in Robert Snodgrass could well be set to rise.
The former Leeds playmaker has produced a solid debut season in the top-flight so far with 94 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points to his name – indeed, of all midfielders who started the season in the sub 7.0 bracket, only Michu and Marouane Fellaini have outperformed the Scot. While the latter pair have climbed significantly in cost, Snodgrass remains at a reasonable mid-price level, coming in at 6.4 in FPL. Hogging most of the club's set-pieces and corners, he's supplied four goals and four assists, and with 17 bonus points also collected, he's 14 points clear of Seb Bassong and Anthony Pilkington as the top scoring Norwich player in this season's Fantasy standings.
A recent FA Cup clash with Peterborough afforded the Canaries boss to rest and rotate his first-team regulars but such is Snodgrass' importance, the Scot retained his place and helped steer his side to victory with a goal and assist in the 3-0 win. Post-match, Hughton explained just how crucial Snodgrass is to the Canaries' cause:
"I would say he is more confident now that at the start of the season. You get spells like that and he is looking a real threat and for us it is a valuable asset to have. made a decision to make some changes but he is one I know can play games. He is a fit lad. He just continues to show what good form he is in. I think he is playing consistently and he has added some goals and assists to his game, but on the day I thought he was part of an all-round good team performance."
Capable of explosive hauls, Snodgrass has registered four sets of double figures over his 20 starts for Hughton's side, scoring 10 or more points against Spurs, Southampton, Swansea and West Brom. The midfielder has also picked up points against the likes of Stoke and Man City, indicating he is capable of producing against the most resilient of rearguards. While Grant Holt has went off the boil, with just one set of returns from Gameweek 8 onwards, and Pilkington found himself dropped to the bench for last week's trip to Anfield, Snodgrass looks the man most likely to prosper from Norwich's short-term schedule as Hughton attempts to reignite his side's floundering form and scramble up the table.
Really struggling here. Feel like this is a very important decision:
Pod and Luiz out for:
A aguero and Dawson (or other 4.5 def)
B fletcher and baines or zaba
Really would love to hear your opinion

The Initial Training Networks (ITN), part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, offer early-stage researchers (ESR) the opportunity to improve their research skills, join established research teams and enhance their career prospects.
What' s in it for young researchers?
European Training Networks (ETN):
It takes two to tango but three to network. So, at least three participants from different countries (preferably up to 10) join together to propose a coherent programme for an ETN. The participants can be public or private universities, research organisations but also private companies, NGOs and international organisations. Each beneficiary must recruit and host at least one ESR and the involvement of organisation from different sectors is essential.
European Industrial Doctorates (EID):
In the case of an EID, only two participants from different countries are needed: one academic participant and one participant from the private sector. However, one of the conditions is that the researcher will have to be enrolled in a doctoral programme of the academic participant. The researcher will also spend at least 50 % of his/her time within the private sector.
Joint Doctoral Programmes (JDP):
At least three beneficiaries established in different countries join together to create a joint doctoral programme. They award a joint doctoral degree and share the recruitment of the researcher.
What does the funding cover?
All Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions have a bottom-up approach, including all domains of research and technological development. Applicants should make appropriate reference to interdisciplinary and newly emerging supra-disciplinary fields in their proposal.
Successful researchers are recruited for a period between 3 and 36 months.
Who can apply?
Participating organisations have until 9th April, 17:00 (Brussels time) to submit their proposals through the Participant portal. Please note that individual researchers are not eligible to submit a proposal for this call.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions are part of Horizon 2020, the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020).

At 6'7'' 271 pounds with a 4.75 forty and 38½ inch vertical leap in the 2009 NFL combine; Michael Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals was one of the biggest pass rushing prospects coming out of the combine. Johnson was a very rare talent with incredible tangibles that placed him on the radar of most scouts predicting he would be drafted in the first round in 2009. Instead of being drafted like Jason Pierre Paul of the New York Giants who also was an incredible talent without much experience, Johnson was not selected in the first round. Johnson fell all the way to the 3rd round to the Cincinnati Bengals at the 70th pick.… Read more

Press release from Marketwire
TransAlta Corporation Announces Pricing of $200 Million TransAlta Renewables Initial Public Offering
Thursday, August 01, 2013
TransAlta Corporation Announces Pricing of $200 Million TransAlta Renewables Initial Public Offering13:00 EDT Thursday, August 01, 2013
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 1, 2013) -
TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta") (TSX:TA)(NYSE:TAC) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary TransAlta Renewables Inc. ("TransAlta Renewables") has filed and obtained a receipt from the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces in Canada for the final prospectus in respect of the initial public offering of 20 million common shares (the "Common Shares") of TransAlta Renewables (the "Offering"). The Common Shares will be issued at an offering price of $10.00 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"). Gross proceeds of the Offering will be $200 million.
The Offering is expected to close on August 9, 2013 (the "Closing"). Closing of the Offering is subject to, and conditional upon, certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary approvals.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by TransAlta Renewables to indirectly acquire, from TransAlta, 28 contracted wind and hydroelectric power generation assets (the "Acquired Assets"), in which TransAlta Renewables will have a net ownership interest of approximately 1,112 MW.
TransAlta and TransAlta Renewables have entered into an underwriting agreement in respect of the Offering with a syndicate of underwriters, led by CIBC World Markets Inc. and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. as bookrunners, and including Scotia Capital Inc., TD Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., Merrill Lynch Canada Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Desjardins Securities Inc.
The underwriters have been granted an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional three million Common Shares at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, from time to time, for a period of up to 30 days after Closing which, if exercised in full, will increase the total gross proceeds of the Offering to $230 million.
The net proceeds of the over-allotment option will be used by TransAlta Renewables to repay a portion of a promissory note to be issued by TransAlta Renewables to TransAlta in partial payment of the purchase price for the Acquired Assets.
Upon closing of the Offering, TransAlta expects to hold an approximate 82.6% interest (an approximate 79.9% interest if the over-allotment is exercised in full) in TransAlta Renewables.
The Toronto Stock Exchange has conditionally approved the listing of the Common Shares under the symbol "RNW". Listing is subject to TransAlta Renewables fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX.
A copy of the final prospectus which contains important information relating to the Common Shares will be available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com under TransAlta Renewable's issuer profile.
The shares of TransAlta Renewables have not been, nor will they be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, ''U.S. persons'' (as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended) except pursuant to certain exemptions. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Common Shares in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons.

SUV driver critically injured after hitting 2 cars, tree in midtown Ventura
Five people were injured Monday in midtown Ventura when an out-of-control SUV hit a car and dragged it for a quarter-mile before hitting another vehicle and a tree, officials said.
The crash was reported at 3:17 p.m. near Palm Street and East Thompson Boulevard, according to the Ventura City Fire Department.
Authorities said the driver of a large SUV lost control of it and that it struck the back of a sedan.
Witnesses said the SUV did not stop after becoming entangled with the other vehicle, but instead traveled west on Thompson Boulevard for more than one-quarter mile before the two vehicles became disentangled, according to fire officials. The SUV then hit the back of another sedan before turning and hitting a tree next to the Ventura Surf Shop.
The driver of the of the SUV was in critical condition, police said. A passenger also was injured.
Workers had to extricate the driver from the vehicle, authorities said, adding that doing so took about 15 minutes.
Two people were taken to a trauma center, authorities said, while the three who received less serious injuries were taken to hospitals, officials said.
The cause of the incident remained under investigation Monday night.

Would Americans be willing to travel in the communitarian manner of African villagers if it meant saving a few bucks? Lyft will attempt to find out starting today, when it launches a new tier of service for customers willing to share a discounted ride with other passengers headed in the same direction.
Called Lyft Line, the new product is the fullest expression yet of the company's mission to reduce traffic and environmental harm by matching drivers and passengers more efficiently. Lyft CEO Logan Green developed that vision after a trip from his native Los Angeles, where gridlock is a lifestyle and HOV lanes sit unused, to Zimbabwe, where the high price of gas ensures that no car ever leaves home without a few passengers to share the cost.
But it was Green's experience serving on the city of Santa Barbara's public transportation board that really provided the inspiration for today's launch. Lyft and its archrival, Uber, are usually portrayed as the latest evolution of the taxi business. But Green says Line is best viewed as a better alternative to the nation's mass transit systems, most of which lose money on each fare while getting riders to their destinations more slowly than a car would.
"Public transportation is not improving. There's no engine for improvement," says Green. "Our biggest competitor isn't a taxi company. It isn't Uber. It's people driving on their own."
Like a subway or bus system, Line takes advantage of the fact that personal transportation patterns tend to consist of large numbers of people traveling the same routes at the same times. In fact, 90% of Lyft rides replicate another ride taken by someone else within the same five-minute window.
By opting to combine their trips, customers can save up to 60% versus what they'd pay for an individual ride. To make the carpool experience less annoying, they're required to be prepared to depart within one minute of the car's arrival. (Normally, Lyft drivers are instructed to wait up to 10 minutes for a passenger.)
For drivers, who get paid based on mileage and time spent driving rather than the number of passengers on board, merging two trips into one might seem like a less attractive deal. But Green says combined trips will usually end up being longer, resulting in higher fares and less downtime. At some point in the future, he says, drivers will be able to factor their own intended destination into the algorithm — making it possible, say, to pick up a couple of fares during one's commute to work.
While it's not released yet, Uber announced plans for its own very similar product, called UberPool, on Monday. It's become something of a pattern for the two rival companies to time their news to steal one another's thunder, whether it's new city launches, fare cuts or supplementary insurance for drivers.
One interesting aspect of all this is what it means in terms of network effects. As I pointed out in a recent feature on the risks facing Uber, the network effects touted as a strength of the peer-to-peer taxi business aren't really network effects at all in the truest sense of the term; that is, for a passenger, other passengers joining the platform don't bring additional utility, nor do drivers benefit when other drivers join. But in the Line model, additional passengers do create additional value for the network as a whole: The more people riding overall, the greater the likelihood someone else will be headed in your direction.
Lyft isn't the first company to hit on this idea. A Bay Area startup called Hitch has been offering lower fares in exchange for sharing rides since May. Asked about Hitch, Green politely suggests that it doesn't offer a comparable user experience: "It's very hard to build this from scratch. You really need to launch it on top of existing networks."
In fact, up until a few months ago, a Y Combinator-backed startup called Rover was trying to do just that, using an undocumented Lyft API to offer a service letting users combine their rides. After warning Rover to knock it off, Lyft thought better of it and acquired the company. Its cofounders, David Dryjanski and Lev Popov, are now in charge of Line.
