His Holiness Patriarch Kirill meets with Japanese Prime-Minister Yoshihiko Noda
On 18 September 2012, while on a visit to Japan, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia met with Yoshihiko Noda, head of the Japanese government, at the Prime-Minister's residence.
Taking part in the meeting were also Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations, Archpriest Nikolay Balashov, DECR vice-chairman, Yevgeny Afanasiev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Japan, and Koichiro Gemba, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The Prime-Minister of Japan said he was aware of how greatly the Russian Orthodox Church and personally His Holiness Patriarch Kirill have been contributing to the development of Russian society which has always enjoyed the Church's spiritual support.
The Prime-Minister expressed his gratitude to the Primate of the Russian Church for visiting the areas in northeast Japan, affected by natural disaster.
Yoshihiko Noda also expressed his cordial wish for Japanese-Russian relations to improve and said he believed that the visit of Patriarch Kirill to Japan would make a great positive contribution to this process.
The head of the Japanese government shared his impressions about the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at APEC CEO Summit in Vladivostok and expressed his hope for the development of cultural ties between the two nations.
His Holiness Patriarch Kirill thanked the Prime-Minister for his kind words and hospitality and shared his impressions about the visit to Japan, noting warm hospitality and good atmosphere of the meetings with the Japanese faithful.
Patriarch Kirill noted that his visit was timed to the centenary of the blessed demise of St Nicholas of Japan, Equal-to-the-Apostles, and emphasized particularly that in spite of being a Church of minority, the Japanese Orthodox Church as a national Japanese Church contributed greatly to strengthening spiritual relations between the Russian and Japanese people. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill noted that those relations had been maintained even during hard times. The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church mentioned a heroic deed of St Nicholas who had stayed with his beloved flock during the Russian-Japanese war.
The participants in the meeting also discussed the significance of spiritual factor in international relations. Only cordial relations, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill emphasized, can help common people understand relations between nations. He told that one of the examples of cordial sympathy was the reaction of Russian people to the natural disaster that had carried away thousands of people in Japan in March 2011.
Patriarch Kirill expressed his firm belief that Russia and Japan should improve their relations. He noted that the Joint Message of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Catholic Polish Bishop's Conference, signed in August in Poland, was an example of how a spiritual factor could influence relations between nations.
Patriarch Kirill expressed his support to all endeavours, including to those of Yoshihiko Noda's government, aimed at strengthening cooperation with Russia.
The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church presented the Prime-Minister of Japan with the Japanese edition of his book "Freedom and Responsibility" and expressed his hope that the viewpoint stated in the book might arouse interest among Japanese people who also try to combine respect for human freedom with the preservation of traditional values of Japanese society.
His Holiness Patriarch Kirill also presented Yoshihiko Noda with the Japanese version of Anatoly Khlopetsky's book "And an Eternal Fight…" about the spiritual life of Russian judo and sambo fighter Vasily Oschepkov, noting that Prime-Minister Yoshihiko Noda himself is a sportsman and a judo fighter.

Last week was seemingly the longest week of my life. I could list all the challenges, frustrations, and disappointments and create a self-serving litany of complaints, but what good would that honestly do anyone? What kind of energy is that to offer up to the Universe? Instead, here's an excerpt from the novel I am currently working on. I hope you enjoy it! Please comment with any comments or suggestions you may have – everything is greatly appreciated! 🙂
James' eyes were bloodshot, whether from lack of sleep or too much drink Charlotte couldn't tell. His eyes were also wide and vacant as he stood beside the coffee maker, staring into some void that only he could see. James seemed mesmerized, entranced, and it was creepy, terribly unsettling the way he could be present and a million miles away all at the same time. Charlotte wanted to call out to him and break that awful concentration, but she was too sick, too tired. She just continued shuffling by, too exhausted to even pick her feet up off the ground. It could have been her oh-so-clever subconscious, discreetly forcing her to make noise to call James to attention, but Charlotte was too sick to think. And truth be told, Charlotte had never really been all that clever, certainly not clever enough to figure out her own subconscious. And so, she shuffled outside.
The sun was hot and bright, but Charlotte didn't remove any of her excessive layers of clothing. She was too tired, simply too tired, and besides, maybe she'd sweat the fever out – wasn't that how it worked? She couldn't remember. She was too tired.
Charlotte breathed heavily through her mouth, as her nose was congested enough to be rendered useless. She stared across the quiet street, too exhausted to turn her head, and her squinting, bleary eyes fell upon one of the only kids inhabiting the whole apartment complex. The kids belonged to the wonderfully nice family who had moved in a month ago much to Charlotte's delight. The young girl currently in Charlotte's view was a little sister to a big brother, both under ten years old. The last time Charlotte had seen them, they were yelling with youthful abandon, chasing one another in twisting, ever-widening circles across the dry lawns of their adjacent neighbors. What a beautiful sight! What joyous noise! Charlotte had been absolutely thrilled to encounter signs of life – FINALLY – at her new home. Once poor Kelly left, the remaining inhabitants had all been so odd, frighteningly so, and they had all been dying, or so it seemed.
Charlotte could certainly understand that now.
And apparently so could the kids Charlotte had affectionately begun to think of as Jem and Scout. She was looking at Scout now, and Scout was sitting at the start of her squat driveway, crying. Huge, mournful-looking tears leaked from her eyes and rolled down her round cheeks as if they were trying to be discreet, trying to avoid a scene. Her soft whimpers cut the silence and they sounded so pitiful. Had it not been so tired, Charlotte was sure her heart would have simply shattered. The little girl sat cross-legged on the hot asphalt, just crying. What was wrong? Where was Jem? Despite her extreme exhaustion and growing concern that any kind of movement would kill her, Charlotte turned her head to the left and moved it slowly to the right, endeavoring to scan the landscape to find the brother.
Charlotte didn't have to look far.
Jem was standing in the middle of his lawn, just a few diagonal paces forward from his sister, standing and sweating in the sun, and staring, staring at Charlotte.
Their eyes locked.
Charlotte gasped and stumbled back a pace or two, unnerved to recognize the look in the little boy's eyes. James was somewhere behind her in the house, presumably still in the kitchen, with an identical expression. But Jem was much too young to be lost in his own thoughts in such an unsettling way. What ghosts could he possibly have to gawk at? What horrors from his past could he possibly have recalled to the surface to relive in some masochistic ploy? The stare remained intact, unbroken, as Charlotte lost herself in her questions, in imagined possibilities of Jem's infant traumas, each one more horrible and devastating than the next.
So when James appeared beside her, Charlotte screamed and lost her balance, falling into one of the cheap patio chairs. The plastic was unforgiving and her teeth clacked together as she landed hard on her ass. She could taste blood in her mouth.
"Jesus Christ, Charlotte," James growled, closing his eyes against her shrill tones. "Do you always have to be so goddamn loud? I told you I've been battlin' a headache for days. Or do you not give a shit about no one but yourself?" He looked down at Charlotte. The vacant expression was gone. James was clearly present in the moment, and him and his eyes were all impatience and contempt.
"I'm s-sorry, James. I-I w-was -" Charlotte stuttered. She wanted to apologize, but she was just so fucking tired.
"I brought you out some coffee because all I do is think about you," James sneered. He thrust the mug at her. The kind and thoughtful gesture was anything but considering his hostile, impatient tone and the muted violence in his actions. Charlotte flinched, but took the mug. She mumbled gratitude, but either James didn't hear or didn't care. "I'm going to work even though I feel like shit because one of us should do something." James roughly dragged his hands along the edges of his face. "I feel god awful," he groaned. He was wallowing in his misery until he snapped his gaze back to Charlotte. "Ain't you gonna drink that coffee? I went through the trouble of making it so you'd enjoy it, not let it sit there and cool!"
Charlotte nodded slowly and lowered her gaze like a shameful child. "I will, I promise."
She was so tired.
James looked at her for just another moment before storming to his truck. Charlotte listened to his boots thud heavily against the grass and then crunch against the gravel, making his progress. She didn't want to look at him – he was being so cruel. He was especially cruel in the mornings lately. But Charlotte didn't hear the expected opening and slamming of the truck door, or the expected and familiar roar of the engine coming to life, so she looked to James, to see of everything was alright in the thick heat, in the muggy silence broken only by buzzing insects and the soft whimpers of the little girl. When Charlotte looked, James was staring at her. This time, there was something dangerously close to pure hatred in his eyes. He was glaring at her. "Drink the goddamn coffee, woman!" James barked the order.
Charlotte flinched again, but did as she was told. Once she started drinking from the mug, James got moving again. He climbed into his truck, started the engine, backed out of the driveway, and drove away. Only then did Charlotte stop drinking and pull the mug from her lips. It had been quite the gulp, a few gulps really, and so Charlotte went to lick her lips clean, first the bottom then the top.
As her tongue swept her top lip, Charlotte froze. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. There was a bitter and metallic taste, something that reminded Charlotte of the feel of aluminum foil. It was a bad taste, a yucky taste. Something was wrong with the coffee. Coffee should never ever taste like metal.
The mug fell from her hands. It shattered against the concrete, exploding into sharp shards at her bare feet. Later, Charlotte would discover tiny cuts on her feet and wonder how they got there, where they came from. But currently, Charlotte was experiencing one hell of a moment of clarity. For that moment, she didn't feel sick or tired or sweaty or scared. She didn't feel anything. The sudden knowledge was expansive and it filled her completely.
Charlotte knew the coffee was poisoned.
Charlotte knew James wanted her dead.
In the distance, Scout was still crying.
Be sure to let me know what you thought! xoxo

Artwork description:
I am a Daily Painter, I started this practice in 2008 when I became a professional painter. At that time, the idea was to paint every day a small format to improve my skill. At this time, I didn't know that it was part of an artistic movement and it is only a few years later that I am realized that Daily Painting is practiced by many artists.
Since I started, I have never stopped practicing and what was initially an exercise has become my daily job.
I paint as much in my Studio as in Plein Air, either from life or from my photos on small formats that I realize in one session. I paint "Alla Prima" to keep the spontaneity of the moment.
I live in France, in a small town of Haute-Provence which offers a wide range of landscape subjects in the particular light of the south of France.

OpenVPN does not have built-in support for high availability, or HA. Generally, in HA systems, there exists a primary and failover system where, with the failure of the primary, the secondary takes over with no apparent outage to the end users, or traffic passing through the devices. These are common with firewalls in pass-through scenarios. Web servers are an example of end point devices.
OpenVPN does support multiple --remote lines within a client config, allowing the client to automatically try subsequent server entries upon connection loss. During the re-negotiation with the new server, traffic cannot pass across the VPN.
HA Routers
Commonly on corporate networks, there will be a pair, or more, of redundant edge routers. These routers are responsible for maintaining the business' connections to the outside world. The two main types of High Availability (HA) is Active-Passive and Active-Active.
In Active-Passive mode, one router, or system, will handle all connections. Only when the primary fails will the secondary take over and begin handling connections. Some firewalls and routers exchange link and connection states, known as connection tracking. The benefit of this is states in a firewall don't need to be reestablished, and there's no perceivable lag during a failover event.
Active-Active mode HA allows both routers or systems to handle traffic. There is still connection tracking, and if either system fails, the other will begin handling it's twin's load. Often, these systems will attempt to spread the load evening amongst members of the HA group.
With the setup, it is simpler to put the OpenVPN server(s) behind the HA edge routers. Failover events will not disrupt the connections to the VPN server.
Multiple OpenVPN Servers
Small offices and most homes will only have a single connection to the internet, and redundancy of the edge is an uncommon situation. Even with just a single pipe to the internet, often due to low cost hardware, or hand-me-down systems, it's simple to add fault tolerance to the VPN by adding additional servers. Adding additional --remote lines to the OpenVPN client config will allow the client to cycle through possible servers. OpenVPN connection blocks add additional features and allow systems to become very robust.

TULSA, Okla., Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The son of U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., was killed in a plane crash near Owasso, Okla., sources close to the senator confirmed to KOCO-TV, Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirmed it investigated the Sunday crash 5 miles north of the Tulsa International Airport, the television station said.
The World said government records indicated the younger Inhofe was associated with a company that recently bought the plane.
Inhofe, 52, was an orthopedic surgeon in Tulsa, and was a licensed pilot and flight instructor, the World said.
Tulsa International Airport officials said the pilot issued an alert Sunday afternoon, asking for immediate assistance. The plane crashed about 15 minutes after the alert.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman George Brown confirmed one person died in the crash, saying there could have been more than one fatality, but authorities only saw evidence of one, the World said.
Brown said the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA had taken the lead on the crash.
He said it could be days, or even weeks, before authorities release the name of the victim. Amy Elliott, Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office spokeswoman, said the office's identification of the pilot would not be possible until dental records it requested were received.
Another pilot, Justin Allison of Tulsa, was flying minutes behind the aircraft that crashed, and told the World he heard air traffic controllers report a plane ahead of him had experienced engine failure. He also was directed to climb from 2,500 feet to 5,000 feet and remain in a holding pattern.
"I couldn't hear the pilot, but I heard the tower declare an emergency for him," Allison said, "which is a red-flag raiser, because usually the pilot will declare the emergency."

Student caught with gun at Boston high school
16-year-old arrested at Jeremiah Burke High School
A 16-year-old student at a Boston high school has been arrested after bringing a gun to school.
The school department said in a statement that the handgun brought to Jeremiah Burke High School on Monday morning was not loaded, but that the student also brought a small amount of ammunition.
The gun was found at about 9 a.m. No one was hurt.
A schools spokesman says administrators followed appropriate procedures to ensure the safety of all students and staff in the building and the day carried on without further interruption. He did not know why the student brought the gun to school.
The teen was arraigned on juvenile counts of possessing a firearm and ammunition. A judge set $1,000 cash bail and ordered him to remain at home under electronic monitoring if he is released.

Indonesians protest official's 4-day teen marriage
Hundreds of Indonesians rallied Tuesday to demand a district chief's resignation after revelations of his text message divorce to a teenage girl four days after their marriage sparked public outrage.
Aceng Fikri, chief of Garut District in West Java province, took 17-year-old Fani Oktora as his second wife in July. But Fikri, 40, quickly divorced her via a short text message, alleging Oktora was not a virgin when they married as he had expected. He said he spent about $26,000 on the wedding.
Students and rights activists in Garut spit and trampled on pictures of Fikri on Tuesday before burning them outside the local council building.
It was the second consecutive day of protests against Fikri, whose case came into the spotlight last week after a picture of the couple was posted on the Internet. On Monday, dozens of people rallied in front of his house and the council building.
Late Tuesday, the local council issued a recommendation for Fikri's dismissal, but the process will have to wait for a verdict by the Supreme Court.
Also on Tuesday, Oktora, accompanied by her lawyers, filed a complaint with police in the capital, Jakarta, accusing Fikri of domestic violence by holding her captive after the wedding and fraudulence for declaring that he was a widower.
A lawyer representing Fikri said they would file a complaint of defamation against Oktora, whom he said had signed an agreement saying she would not complain about the marriage.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reportedly discussed the case with West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan on Tuesday during a visit to the province.
Some Muslims believe in an Islamic ritual allowing men to end a marriage by telling their wives they divorce them. However, divorce by text message is uncommon in moderate Indonesia.

Title An Observational Study Profiling Biospecimens from Cancer Patients to Screen for Molecular Alterations (STRATA)
Objective As our understanding of the genomic landscape of cancer continues to improve, drug development strategies are increasingly targeting defined genetic sub-populations to identify improved responders. Cancer patients and their providers are often unaware there may be opportunities for eligibility assessments for potentially life-saving genomically-guided clinical trials and approved targeted therapies. Strata Oncology is initiating the Strata Trial (STR-001-001) with the primary goal of understanding the proportion of subjects available for clinical trials and approved targeted therapies in advanced and/or aggressive cancers while assessing the feasibility of using a large-scale next generation sequencing (NGS) screening program to match subjects for eligibility assessments in clinical trials and/or for approved targeted therapies.
Treatment The Strata test is an NGS-based assay which assesses a set of actionable and pre-defined somatic genetic alterations. A determination as to whether or not their tumors have genetic alterations which are associated with an affiliated therapeutic protocol and/or approved therapy will be made and the resulting report will be generated within 10 working days of receipt of materials.
Description The provider, investigator and/or study staff are responsible for interpreting the report in conjunction with other clinical information and communicating the results to the subject, as appropriate. When a match has been identified, a report (using the Strata Trial subject identification number to protect patient privacy) will be provided to the pharma partner alerting them to the potentially matched subject..
Key Eligibility
- Subjects must be ≥ 18 years of age
- Subjects must have histologically documented solid tumors or lymphoma
- Subjects with glioblastoma or pancreatic cancer are eligible at any stage of disease
- Subjects with lung cancer are eligible at Stage IIIB and stage IV, or with metastatic disease
- Subjects with rare tumors (i.e. cancer started in an unusual place in the body, it is unusual type and requires special treatment) are eligible at stages II-IV
- Subjects with lymphoma must have advanced disease refractory to standard curative therapy or have contraindication to standard therapy
- Subjects with other solid tumors must have metastatic or incurable disease
- Subjects must have an adequate formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor specimen for genomic sequencing

TB Information for Volunteers
Due to new regulations from both the state and county, PUSD nurses will no longer be providing TB clearance. STAFF ONLY: Contact Theresa Crosby via email to schedule a phone or video conference: email@example.com

Communicable disease is a disease that spreads from person to person. It means a germ such as a bacteria or virus, is in the school environment (air, water, plants, animals, and humans). Early identification of signs and symptoms (runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever, etc.) of communicable disease is of paramount importance to increase the health of the school population and decrease school absenteeism.
Effective control of the spread of communicable disease includes vaccination, proper hand washing, covering sneezes and coughs, appropriate cleaning of classrooms and gathering places, early recognition of symptoms, prompt diagnoses and treatment. Poway Unified School District's resource nurses work closely with the San Diego County public Health Department in identifying cases of communicable disease in our schools. Nurses provide education regarding proper hygiene at school and home, and the importance of vaccinations. For your student's protection and reassurance, please assure up-to-date emergency numbers are on file at school! Information regarding locations and times of vaccination centers is available to parents on our website under immunizations.
California Education Code, Section: 49423.5 allows for specialized health care services such as a Diabetes Management Plan to be performed by trained designated school staff under indirect supervision of a Credentialed School Nurse.
All supplies/equipment (medication, food, glucose tester, lancets, etc.) must be supplied by the parent/guardian.
The Diabetic Management Plan must be completed by the parent/guardian AND physician, and must be signed on appropriate page(s) of procedure. Diabetic Plans from medical facilities (i.e. Children's Hospital) are acceptable, but the front page of the PUSD Diabetic Management Plan must be signed by the parent/guardian and included with the packet.
Parents of children with life threatening allergies (i.e. eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy, latex, insect stings, etc.) may contact the District Resource Nurse assigned to their school, prior to the first day of class, if they have additional concerns not addressed below.

The Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) Program is a state-mandated program which requires that all students entering first-grade receive specific health screenings within 18 months prior to or 90 days after entry into first grade. CHDP forms are included in the kindergarten Enrollment packets. TK students should complete CHDP requirements in their second year of Kindergarten to be in compliance with the 18 month mandate.
The purpose of the health screenings is early identification and remediation of health problems of California's children. Approximately 1 out of 10 children who receive the CHDP health screening are identified as having some health problem which has previously gone undetected. By identifying and treating or preventing at an early age these diseases or disabilities, CHDP health screenings help students achieve their fullest learning potential at school.
CHDP physicals are also available yearly for any child 0 – 18 years of age and can be requested at no cost. The state pays the cost of the initial exam for those who meet income eligibility and may pay for medial follow up to any conditions found during the exam.

Head lice (Pediculosis capitis) are tiny insects that live on the human scalp and feed on blood. While feeding, lice inject saliva into the skin that causes itching. Persistent scratching on the scalp and behind the ears is a sign that head lice may be present. Anyone, adult or child, can get head lice. Nearly three million Americans, most, of them children, get head lice every year. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CLEANLINESS AND DOES NOT REFLECT POORLY ON YOU AS A PARENT. Although head lice are highly communicable, the problems can be managed. However, it does take work.
Head lice easily crawl from one warm body to the next. Has your child recently shared close space with siblings or friends (sleepovers); shared combs, brushes, hats/batting helmets (Little League); lovingly given hugs to others? If the answer to any of these questions is YES, you have probably found the "bridge" used by head lice to infest your child.
Check every member of the family for head lice. Determine who is infected. Head lice look like tiny, white specks on the hair shaft, near the scalp, and are found especially at the nape of the neck and behind the ears. You will notice that these specks (head lice eggs) don't move or flake off easily.
Use a recommended head lice treatment on all infected family members and follow the directions carefully. Do not assume that if a little is good, a lot is better. Overuse of any lice medication may result in adverse effects.
Remove all NITS from your child's hair. PUSD has a "No Nit" policy. Children cannot be readmitted to school until all nits are removed from the hair.
Contact your child's school. Let them know your child has head lice and you are treating it at home.
Vacuum carpets, furniture, car interior, toys. Immediately dispose of or empty the vacuum bag. Lice WILL CRAWL OUT of the bag and re-infest your home.
Wash and dry clothes, bed linens, and towels.
Soak combs and brushes in hot (l30oF) water for 5-10 minutes.
Place non-washable items (stuffed animals, pillows, etc.) in a dryer for 20 minutes on HOT setting. If this is not possible, double-bag the non-washable items in a plastic trash bag, seal tightly (remember, these critters can crawl), and set aside for 30 days.
Check your child's hair on a monthly basis for head lice. Early detection prevents a severe infestation and means fewer "nits" to remove.
All children are required to have their vaccinations fully completed/up to date before enrolling in preschool unless exempted as provided by law. Under a new law known as SB 277, beginning January 1, 2016, exemptions based on personal/religious beliefs will no longer be an option for vaccines required for school entry in California. Personal/religious beliefs exemptions on file for a child already attending child care or school will remain valid until the child reaches the next immunization checkpoint at kindergarten (including transitional kindergarten) or 7th grade. Medical exemptions, either permanent or temporary, are acceptable with a written statement from physician (M.D. or D.O) licensed in the state of California.
For more information about SB 277, please see http://www.shotsforschool.org
For more information about school immunization requirements and resources, please visit the California Department of Health website at www.shotsforschool.org or contact your local health department or county office of education.
1 Receipt of the dose up to (and including) 4 days before the birthday will satisfy the child care entry immunization requirement.
2 If a child had chickenpox disease and this is indicated on the Immunization Record by the child's physician, they meet the requirement. Write "disease" in the chickenpox date box on the blue card.
3 Required only for children who have not reached the age of 4 years 6 months.
California Department of Public Health – Immunization Branch
Even with current school closures, immunization requirements for admissions to school or child care in California for the 2020-2021 school year remain in place.
Immunizations are more important now so that we maintain herd immunity against other disease and don't create another pandemic.
County public health clinics are an option for vaccines if your pediatrician offices are not open. Please check with your site enrollment team for more information or assistance.
All children are required to have their vaccinations fully completed/up to date before enrolling in grades TK – 12 unless exempted as provided by law.

Poway Unified School District philosophy is that parents bear the primary responsibility in providing medication for their students. Whenever possible, medication should be administered at home. Parents have the option to personally administer medication to their child at any time during the school day. Health assistance can be provided to support student learning and attendance. Medication administration is provided under the direction and indirect supervision of the resource nurses in Health Services. If a student needs medication during the school day, the following procedure must be followed, according to Ed Code:
Please check the expiration date on all medication you provide to the school site and update this medication as needed.
Note: Poway Unified School District has a "zero tolerance" drug policy for all students.
Do not put your child at risk of receiving disciplinary action! Don't send your child to school with any medication unless you have followed the medication procedure. Remember, even Tylenol or Advil are considered to be drugs.
Students may carry their own medication only if they are responsible and an Authorization to Carry Medication While at School form (H-26B) has been signed by the physician, parent, and student.
California law requires that all children entering public school for the first time (kindergarten or first grade) are required to have a dental check-up by May 31st of their first school year. The evaluation must be completed by a licensed dental professional. Oral health evaluations that occurred within the 12 months prior to school entry also meet this requirement.
For more information:
Specialized Physical Health Care (SPHC) including Life Threatening Allergy Plans and Diabetic management Plans as noted above, can also include Diastat Administration, Solu-Cortef Administration, Nebulizer Breathing Treatments and other procedures that can be safely administered in the school setting. California Education Code, Section: 49423.5 allows for specialized health care services to be performed by trained designated school staff under indirect supervision of a Credentialed School Nurse.

Say what you will about The Pirate Bay: if nothing else, its founders are resilient, defiant, and clever. Two out of its three co-founders have yet to be brought to justice. Since being convicted of aiding copyright infringement, none of them have paid a single cent of the multi-million dollar fine ordered by a Swedish court in 2009, and all seem quite resolute on maintaining that position. (Still, each of the three claim to no longer have any involvement in the site.)
There's not much new information about the founders in Simon Klose's new film TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard, which debuted Friday at the Berlinale Film Festival in the German capital and is available freely online under a Creative Commons license. The non-narrated, largely Swedish-language film profiles the three co-founders during their prosecution by the Swedish government and doesn't address—other than through filmed court testimony—the fourth co-defendant, businessman Carl Lundström. (Lundström did serve four months in Sweden under house arrest, but he has since returned to living in Switzerland. He also declined to be profiled for the film.)
In February 2012, the Swedish Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of the case against the co-founders, leaving the three with few, if any, legal options left at their disposal. After being deported late last year on a Cambodian visa violation, Gottfrid "anakata" Svartholm Warg remains in Swedish custody. Meanwhile, Fredrik "tiamo" Neij is still living in Laos with his wife and son.
In the closing minutes of the film (shot in November 26, 2010, on the day the first appeals decision was to be announced), Neij looks straight in the camera while taking a leisurely family lunch aboard a boat in Laos with co-founder Peter Sunde at his side. Neij flatly says: "I can serve a prison sentence. But why do it if I don't have to?"
Later that day, just moments after the two of them find out that they've lost their appeal, Neij adds: "The statute of limitations is five years. They can't issue an international warrant of arrest. I can sit here and jerk off for five years. And I will."
The film also reminds us that Neij is wanted by Interpol, although his name does not turn up in Interpol's online database. Meanwhile, Sunde remains a digital nomad, traveling seemingly freely about Europe and the rest of the world. He's even answering a Reddit AMA on Saturday.
In other words, these guys seem very comfortable with ignoring Swedish justice.
Late last year, Håkan Roswall, the chief prosecutor in the Pirate Bay trial, told Ars that he has "no doubt whatsoever that every one of those four will serve their sentence."
Tension below the surface
TPB AFK is a good overview, but for those who have been following the twists and turns of the Pirate Bay saga over the last several years, there's not a lot of new or surprising information here. Much of the footage is from the trial itself; the rest involves ominous scenes of Stockholm's skyline, shots of the interior of the Pionen data center, and a surprisingly business-like scene of Neij's wedding (with Sunde present) in Laos—where he agrees to pay a dowry of $6,000 in Thai baht in order to marry Chandaly "Lee" Souksada and further agrees to pay $12,000 if he divorces her.
Only toward the end does the film begin to touch on some of the complicated personal relationships and issues among the three co-founders. The trio themselves—how they came to know each other, how they interact with each other—are far more interesting than the legal tick-tock and courtroom testimony (although that footage does show their complete lack of respect for the entire proceeding).
After the first hour of the 80-minute film, there is a quick interview with a friend of Svartholm Warg's, who says she has just returned from Cambodia to visit him and is concerned about his drug use. (Ars reported in late 2012, based on interviews from others who knew him in Cambodia, that he had struggled with drug use as well.)
Suddenly, the film cuts to an anti-racism rally in Stockholm and shows Sunde smiling happily along the sidelines. Then another cut to Neij sitting in Kelly's Bar, where we hear a semi-drunken rant: "Brokep (Peter Sunde) is a fucking vegetarian leftist bitch-ass bastard," he says in English, while speaking to an unnamed supporter or friend.
The friend replies: "But he's got balls because he's in the Pirate Bay? He's giving all the interviews."
Neij: "He's still a bitch. He does it because of ideological pussy-inflicted instincts. He needs to look himself in the ass and take his own life in his hands."
The film again cuts suddenly to Sunde, who seems unphased by Neij's rants.
"If he's had a beer or two, he becomes the most annoying person on Earth," he says nonchalantly. "The problem is he take[s] a couple of beers at least everyday."
Distancing themselves from Lundström
Cut back to the bar, where the friend poses another question to Neij: "Isn't there some connection [with The Pirate Bay] to right-wing parties in Sweden?"
"Carl Lundström, one of the co-defendants, was a right-wing extremist before... He founded a lot of crap," says Neij in English. "But in the end he married a Jewish girl. He has four kids. To call him a right-wing extremist was correct 10-20 years ago. Now I wouldn't say that."
Then he switches back into his native Swedish: "If Carl Lundström is xenophobic then so am I. Every time I've been beaten or robbed, it's been by immigrants. And I don't mean seventh-generation Finnish immigrants. I mean these dirty fucking immigrants."
The camera immediately returns to Sunde. "What can I say?" Sunde says flatly. "He's stupid when it comes to things like that. He has never thought for himself. He just says what his parents say. He's an alcoholic racist asshole. But I still love him."
Back to Neij, in English again: "And you know what? All the e-mails in the Pirate Bay trial come from Anakata [Svartholm Warg], the security guy. Anakata the doesn't-know-how-to-fucking-encrypt-his-computer! Even I and Peter encrypted our e-mails. But Gottfrid didn't! Gottfrid is the stupidest person in the entire history of IT."
He takes a swig of beer and says with sarcasm: "Yeah, the Pirate Bay is really tight!"
Pirates in exile
The last five minutes of the film show Sunde and Neij together, presumably at Neij's home in Laos, where they seem half-reflective, half-annoyed at losing their appeal. Just after they find out the verdict, Sunde calls his mother (the second time in the film he does so), and the Internet connection suddenly goes down.
"We're not even on BBC or CNN yet! That irritates me! Come on, goddammit!" Neij says with mock annoyance, but he then grabs a remote to check more channels. "I guess we have to live with the fact that we're not important anymore."
He picks up a beer and cheers Sunde, sitting across the room with his laptop on the couch: "The Bay!"
Sunde, typing away, ignores Neij, and simply asks, "When does the Internet come back?"
Neij responds, "Maybe in two hours, if we're lucky."
Sunde seems slightly put off and briefly raises his eyebrows in exasperation.
The final scene ends with Sunde testifying before a European Parliament committee, saying simply: "[The Pirate Bay] is ten times larger than Napster was at its peak, and it's still growing."
In other words, The Pirate Bay, for better or worse, has grown to become a seemingly unstoppable force. The fact that the site continues, with two out of the three remaining free, simply proves that point.

Legislator seeks law reducing school pool hazards
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A key state lawmaker is pressing for stronger pool safety measures in Connecticut schools following the deaths of two students in swim classes last year.
The Hartford Courant reports that state Rep. Stephen D. Dargan a West Haven Democrat who chairs the Public Safety Committee, is introducing legislation to establish a uniform policy on school pool safety to reduce hazards.
The newspaper said its review last year found that safety standards in children's swim classes vary throughout Connecticut. They range from stringent requirements governing state-licensed organizations and youth camps to more vague guidelines in public schools.
Manchester High School freshman Malvrick Donkor drowned at the school's pool in November.
In January 2012, 15-year-old Marcum Asiamah drowned in a swim class at East Hartford High School.

Trumbull parents not happy with BOE plans
TRUMBULL -- With parents yelling out angrily from the audience, Board of Education members heard Tuesday that options for alleviating overcrowding at Frenchtown Elementary School were troubling and unfair.
"The concern is you're going to put us through this again in five years," said Beth Gilman, City Council member and treasurer of the Frenchtown Parent Teacher Association. "It also feels like you're targeting a specific population in one specific development."
Two proposals considered Tuesday by the board would move anywhere from 70 to 130 students from the Eaves housing development on Avalon Gates and the surrounding area from Frenchtown to Middlebrook Elementary School.
The proposals were the result of a study conducted to resolve three problems in the school system: overcrowding at Frenchtown; the proposed elimination of portable classrooms from Booth Hill, Frenchtown and Tashua schools; and the absence of designated art, music and flex rooms in some schools.
But the roughly 100 parents -- packed into the assembly room at the Long Hill Administration Building -- wondered why three other proposals that affected other schools were taken off the table, leaving only Frenchtown and Middlebrook to deal with changes.
One of those proposals, officials said, would have required moving children with disabilities to other schools, which they said could have been detrimental to those students.
It was unclear to parents, though, how the problems of portable classrooms at Booth Hill and Tashua would be resolved under the two remaining scenarios.
Some Middlebrook parents wondered how their children would fare in a more crowded environment.
"All Plan A appears to do is move one overcrowding issue from one school to another," one parent told the board.
Parents worried that resources their children now have at Middlebrook would be spread thin if the school takes in more students.
Gary Cialfi, superintendent of schools, assured parents that would not be the case. Officials also told parents they were moving toward a needs-based approach to allocating services, rather than using a one-size-fits-all system.
Kerry Malzewski, whose child attends Frenchtown, asked the board to convene a Town Hall meeting at which parents could have their questions answered. The board instead decided to have parents email questions to Cialfi's office.
"This is far too important to be doing this via email," one parent complained, with others nodding along and yelling encouragement.
Twice BOE Chairwoman Deborah Herbst called parents out of order as they yelled from their seats. And the brief presentation from the consultants who produced the study did little to assuage parents' concerns.
"Hopefully many of your questions have been answered tonight," Herbst said, once the consultants were done.
The answer from the audience was a resounding, "No!"

Charitable Giving Update: 'Tis the Season - (December 1, 2011)
Charitable Giving Update: 'Tis the Season
December 1, 2011, Washington, D.C. - A recent survey by Charity Navigator found that gifts made from Thanksgiving to New Years account for, on average, 41% of annual charitable giving received by responding nonprofit organizations. As the League continues to be your advocate in Washington in defense of charitable giving incentives, please take note of the following quick updates:â¨â¨
The IRA Charitable Rollover remains in effect until December 31, 2011! Be sure your donors know that if they are 70 ½ or older they can transfer up to $100,000 of tax-free gifts directly from their IRAs. This has proven to be a significant incentive for donors to make new and increased contributions to orchestras. The IRA Rollover has come and gone in recent years, leaving many donors confused about its availability. Please share more information about the IRA Rollover with any potential donors. Orchestras have joined the broader nonprofit community in calling on Congress to extend the IRA rollover beyond 2011.
Threats to Charitable Giving Incentives will continue into 2012 at the state and federal levels. After the deficit reduction Super-Committee failed to accomplish its task, proposals to curtail federal tax incentives for charitable giving will likely remain on the table as the tax committees in Congress determine next steps for increasing federal revenue.
Funding for the National Endowment for the Arts will be particularly vulnerable as Congress wrestles with spending decisions in the coming months. The NEA has just announced the first round of FY12 grants and, in anticipation of potential budget cuts, is already contemplating smaller and fewer grants to organizations in FY13. These grants are key to directly supporting orchestras and stimulating private contributions.â¨â¨Please continue to raise your voice in response to League policy action alerts. The League's capacity to represent your interests before Congress and the White House is completely dependent on your participation and communication with your elected officials. Stay tuned for further League policy updates.
The League is a member of the Performing Arts Alliance, a coalition of national performing arts service organizations dedicated to advocating for national policies that recognize, enhance, and foster the contributions the performing arts make to America

Fractional quantum hall states with nu = p/q have a characteristic geometry defined by the electric quadrupole moment of the neutral composite boson that is formed by "flux attachment" of q "flux quanta" (guiding-center orbitals) to p charged particles. This characterizes the "Hall viscosity". For FQHE states described by a conformal field theory with a Euclidean metric g_ab, the quadrupole moment is proportional to the "guiding-center spin" of the composite boson and the inverse metric. The geometry gives rise to dipole moments at external edges or internal "orbital entanglement cuts", and can be seen in the entanglement spectrum.
