State Attorney Jeffrey Ashton has requested the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigate a criminal allegation into a controversial Orange County Commission meeting over sick-time initiatives.
According to a statement from the State Attorney Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida released on Tuesday, Ashton met with the FDLE on Jan. 17 to request the "inquiry into the Sept. 11, 2012 meeting of the Orange County Commission," which has since been dubbed by residents as "Textgate."
Ashton received a complaint from an Orange County resident requesting the criminal investigation into whether the commission violated Florida State Statues by receiving "public input during a properly scheduled meeting, and such input not being placed within the official meeting minutes."
At that meeting, the commission voted to delay putting it on the ballot after allegedly being coached by special interests texting the mayor and commissioners during the meeting. Some commissioners haven't turned over their text messages, some saying they were either deleted or too tough to retrieve.
The complaint also asks for investigation into if the commission violated another statue by accepting public input via electronic devices and "purposely discarded messages and prohibited inspection of such public records within a reasonable time."
The messages may have shed light on who they were communicating with during the meeting over a ballot measure that would have mandated some businesses to offer sick leave to workers. The text messages are considered a public record if they involved discussions on county business.
Critics say commissioners were texting lobbyists opposed to the measure during the meeting. Commissioners voted not to put the sick-leave measure on November's ballot.
The controversy caused Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs earlier this month to propose new, stricter changes to regulations on texting and lobbying.
Jacobs released a statement on Tuesday after Ashton's announcement of the investigation, saying, "the public deserves and expects a transparent Orange County government. The FDLE inquiry requested by the State Attorney should provide an independent review of the facts and I will do whatever I can to help expedite this process."

What's your favorite tool to make free-motion quilting easier and less painful?
Love the Machingers gloves - and, of course - a glass of wine!
"To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage." - Georgia O'Keeffe
I like the Fons and Porter quilting gloves. They are fairly inexpensive and they last a long time. I cut off the tips of the fingers to I don't have to remove the gloves everytime I need to rethread or change a needle, etc. They also come in three sizes so they fit my hand size very well.
I use two small pieces of rubber shelf liner. I find my hands get too sweaty in the gloves and I can't thread the needle without taking them off
hi lindsey
i have several things i like.
the first, is a clean surface that the quilt will slide over easily. i have not used the slider things you can buy. instead, when i get ready to quilt, i give my machinea thorough cleaning. and the last step is to clean the machine bed and extension table. i use pledge and scrap batt pieces. do NOT spray the machine. i spray the pledge onto the batt scraps, and use them to clean and polish the surface. then my quilt sandwich slides around easily without dragging. thoroughly dry the pledge before adding fabric.
the other important thing for me, make sure the quilt is entirely supported by the table, and is not falling off the side or back - or you will be constantly picking the quilt up and putting it back on the table - which is awfully hard on shoulders. and if the weight of the quilt pulls against the needle, you will have poor quality stitches and broken needles.
i also have the hoop like sliders - they don't work for regular quilting. but when doing tiny stippling - where you are heavily quilting an area, then they become useful - just remember to not push down on the table too hard, or you won't be able to move the quilt.
the third thing i need - is a good grip on the quilt to move it around easily. my hands are badly deformed from arthritis, and the gloves don't work for me.if they are big enough to go over the swollen joints, they are too long on my fingers - and would be in danger of getting caught under the needle. plus they make my hands too hot. i use the secretary finger cots. the package has assorted sizes, so one of the sizes will work. they are quick and easy to slide on and off. you don't need them on all fingers. i only wear them on the thumb and first finger of each hand. that is all i need to move the quilt easily. you should not be pressing down on the quilt with your whole hand - you want to guide the quilts movement - not be pressing it against the table. so finger cots on just 2 fingers of each hand reminds me to keep my hands light, and gives me enough grip on the quilt to move it easily.
but most of all, figure out what works for you !! ckquilter
I do like the gloves and the shelf liners but not together (just kidding). I also use a non name brand slider with a rectangle opening so I can use it for ALL sewing. I thought it might be a gimmick but for small to medium size pieces it works very well. Not great for twin-king size quilts though because that much fabric rolled or not doesn't play well with any surface.
Thank you for this tip. I have the same problems with sweaty hands in glove. Never thought to think "outside the gloves".
lol I get some one else to do it for me. I do try on my smaller things like wall hangings and then I use the quilting gloves they seem to work the best for me.

Best practice: Using fonts effectively in themes
- Limit the number of fonts used: To achieve a consistent look throughout your theme, you should try to use fonts that are from the same font family, and make minor adjustments to color and size, where appropriate. With the Plazmic® Theme Builder, you can set a default font for use across the theme, so you need only adjust font characteristics such as size and color. You then have to set the font family only in those cases where a different font style is appropriate.
- Be aware of the legibility of the text: Consider how the font properties affect the user's ability to read the text. For most fonts, you can set the following four properties:
- Color: As with images, you should use a limited color palette for fonts. Consider the background color as well; text becomes illegible when displayed on a background of a similar color or brightness. Consider using the same color for highlighted text on all controls.
- Bold: You should use bold text when text needs added emphasis, such as in a highlighted menu item.
- Italics: Italicized text can interfere with readability; you should use it sparingly.
- Anti-alias: Anti-aliasing smooths the font edges, typically improving the appearance and legibility of the font; however, it also increases the size of the theme file. Note that with very small fonts, anti-aliasing can create a blurred effect, and can actually decrease the legibility of the font.
- Limit the number of TrueType fonts used: With the exception of BB Alpha fonts, the BlackBerry® device does not support TrueType® fonts. The Plazmic Theme Builder converts all the glyphs in other TrueType font sets into a series of bitmaps. Any changes to the properties of a TrueType font requires its own complete set of bitmaps. For example, if you use the same TrueType font in a menu but specify different colors for the highlighted and normal text, the Plazmic Theme Builder must generate two complete sets of bitmaps.

International Students and SLC
The Liberal Arts and Sciences: The Foundation for Success
In the United States, the term "liberal arts and sciences" encompasses the study of humanities, languages, sciences, social sciences, and the arts. This curriculum imparts deep general knowledge and develops students' rational thought and intellectual capabilities. We believe that this approach to education best prepares students to think critically and develop the analytical skills they will need to succeed in their chosen career paths.
The Liberal Arts and Sciences at Sarah Lawrence
Students choose Sarah Lawrence College because of our emphasis on intensive classroom discussion and writing, one-on-one interaction with faculty, the ability of students to create their own courses of study, and our strong commitment to the arts.
There is much support and numerous social opportunities for international students immediately upon their arrival at the College. On Opening Day, students and their families are invited to a welcome gathering with Shirley Be, the international adviser, and during orientation week there is an International Student Orientation/Information Luncheon and an international students' shopping trip to a local mall.
In addition, our location just 30 minutes north of New York City offers the best of both worlds—a safe, suburban base and an ideal point of entry to one of the world's most exciting cities. Students make use of New York City in every way imaginable: for everything from research and internships to culture and nightlife.
After graduation, international students at Sarah Lawrence have gone on to become editors, teachers, physicians, researchers, business executives, independent artists, and filmmakers. Others enroll in medical schools and doctoral and other graduate programs in the U.S. and around the world—among them Brown University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, London School of Economics, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, University of Chicago, University of Oxford, and Yale University.
To read more about what our alumni go on to do after graduation, download our Success After Sarah Lawrence brochure.
Statement on Citizenship Status and Admission
Sarah Lawrence College reads and reviews every application comprehensively in order to enroll a student body representative of as many backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives as possible. Every year, we admit and enroll students of all citizenship statuses. In the interest of making a Sarah Lawrence education possible for any student from any background, we draw from a variety of sources to award financial aid. For students who are admitted to the College, we provide financial aid through packages individually tailored to each family's financial situation - regardless of background or citizenship.

While PATH providers often do not have medical training, they regularly encounter consumers who face health issues. This section of Assessing Health, Promoting Wellness provides simple tips on how to take a temperature, pulse, and respiration rate. It also provides information about what symptoms indicate that the outreach worker should call for help.
This article provides basic information about how to take a temperature, pulse, and respiration rate. This information is only for guidance; individuals not trained in medical care should always consult a licensed doctor with questions.
How to Take a Temperature
Three types of thermometers
Glass-non-mercury*: Oral bulb is long and thin. Rectal bulb is short and round.
Electronic digital: Used for both oral and rectal temperatures
Tympanic membrane: Placed in the ear
*Mercury thermometers no longer recommended—dispose of as hazardous waste.
Four ways to take a temperature
Oral (mouth)—takes 2–3 minutes to register
Axillary (armpit)—takes 3–4 minutes to register
Rectal (in the bottom)—takes 2–3 minutes to register
Ear—takes 2–3 seconds to register
Instructions for taking a temperature
(These instructions are for taking the temperature by mouth or the armpit.)
If you use a glass thermometer, shake it down until it reads below 96 degrees Fahrenheit by holding the thermometer and snapping the wrist sharply. If you use an electronic digital thermometer, press the power button and wait until display appears.
Oral (mouth): Put the thermometer under the tongue and ask the person to close his or her mouth. After 2–3 minutes, remove the thermometer and read it.
Axillary (armpit): Put the thermometer in the center of the armpit and close the arm around the thermometer. After 3–4 minutes, remove the thermometer and read it. This temperature is usually one-half to one degrees below an oral temperature.
Reading a thermometer
Glass-non-mercury: Find the silver line in the thermometer. Turn it slowly until you see the numbers on the bottom. Read the number at the end of the silver line. This number is the temperature.
Electronic digital: Read the number on the screen of the thermometer. This number is the temperature.
A temperature taken in the armpit is one-half to one degree lower than an oral temperature.
Oral (mouth)
Axillary (armpit)
Body temperature will change depending on movement, stress, clothing worn, and the environment temperature.
95 or below - Too low
95–98.6 - Normal
99–102 - Fever
102–106 - High fever
Call help if...
The person has any of the following symptoms:
Fever is over 101 orally (mouth) or 100 axillary (armpit)
Difficulty breathing
Has persistent and/or productive cough (thick, colored phlegm)
Looks ill
Temperature is below 95 orally (mouth) or 94 axillary (armpit)
Abnormal movements (e.g., seizure-like movements)
How to Take a Pulse (Heartbeat)
A pulse is the beat you feel against the wall of an artery when your heart beats. A pulse is the same as your heart rate.
Two ways to take a pulse
Radial (wrist). The location of this artery is on the inside of the wrist near the side of your thumb.
Carotid (neck). The location of this artery is on the neck between the windpipe and neck muscle, and just under the lower jawbone.
Radial pulse:
Turn the person's hand over so the palm faces up. Put your index finger (pointer) and your middle finger (long) on the artery on the wrist. Press slightly down until you feel the pulse. Use a watch with a second hand to help you count. Count the pulse for 1 full minute (60 seconds). This number is the pulse rate. You can also count the pulse for 15 seconds. Then multiply the number of heartbeats times 4. This number is the person's pulse rate.
Carotid pulse:
Put your index finger (pointer) and your middle finger (long) on the artery on the person's neck. Press slightly down until you feel the pulse. Use a watch with a second hand to help you count. Count the pulse for 1 full minute (60 seconds). This number is the pulse rate. You can also count the pulse for 15 seconds. Then multiply the number of heartbeats times 4. This number is the person's pulse rate.
A normal pulse rate for an adult at rest is 60 to 80 beats per minute.
Call help if...
The person has any of the following symptoms:
• Pulse rate is below 50
• Pulse rate is above 140
• The pulse is irregular
• Chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Looks ill
• Dizzy or feels like passing out
• No pulse is present
How to Take a Respiration (Breathing) Rate
A respiration rate is the number of times a person takes a breath during 1 full minute. One inhale and one exhale equals one breath. Pay attention to the way the person takes a breath. Notice if the breathing is deep or shallow, fast or slow, and if both sides of the chest move equally when the person breathes.
Two ways to take a respiration rate
Have the person sit or lie down. Ask the person to breathe regularly. Use a watch with a second hand to help you count. Count the number of times the person takes a breath for 1 full minute. This number is the respiration rate. You can also count the breaths for 15 seconds. Then multiply the number of breaths times 4. This number is the person's respiration rate.
Have the person sit or lie down. Ask the person to breathe regularly. Use a watch with a second hand to help you count. Place your hand gently on the person's chest. Count the number of times that your hand goes up and then down for 1 full minute. This number is the respiration rate. You can also count the number of times your hand goes up and down for 15 seconds. Then multiply this number times 4. This number is the person's respiration rate.
A normal breathing rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 20 breaths per minute.
Call help if...
The person has any of the following symptoms:
A breathing rate below 10 breaths per minute
A breathing rate above 24 breaths per minute
Difficulty breathing
You hear wheezing or gurgling
Looks ill
Dizzy or feels like passing out
Not breathing at all

BLACK RIVER The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state Department of Environmental Conservation are working on expanding the Black River flood plain.
DEC has been studying the river while there has been flooding, so there is a need to adjust the village flood plain, village Code Enforcement Officer David M. Lachenauer said. The redrawn map may affect people by requiring them to buy insurance.
Remapping would affect the town of LeRay, as well.
More than 30 village residents who may be affected have been notified of an informational session to be held from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 13 at the village offices, 107 Jefferson Place.
The new flood plain map can be viewed online at www.rampp-team.com/ny.htm.
According to DEC information for the town of LeRay, the effective flood maps are about 10 years old, and for the village of Black River, the effective study dated back to 1989.
