The 2017 wildfire season in California was one of the worst in the state's history, with 9,000 individual fires burning around 1.2 million acres in total. The baddest of the bunch, the Thomas Fire, burned upwards of 281,000 acres alone, and our friends in the California wine country had devastating fires of their own to deal with.
A year later, conditions in California are once again ripe for another round of conflagrations. It's with this in mind that some concerned people are eschewing the traditional Independence Day fireworks displays—and their chances for fiery mishaps—in favor of a tech-driven spectacle in the night sky.
For many people, the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, was the first time they had seen a large-scale light show of coordinated drone flying. During the opening ceremonies, a massive swarm of drones rearranged itself to create a figure of a snowboarder, a flying dove, and the Olympic rings. The show was the largest of its kind and backed by Intel , which used more than 1,200 of its Shooting Star light-display drones to create the spectacle. The company also designed a smaller-scale show using the same drones for Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime performance in 2017.
This year, Intel is getting in on the Independence Day spirit by holding a 500-drone display at Travis Airforce base in Northern California. But don't feel left out. While your
4th of July
drone display likely won't be quite so grandiose, there are a number of companies across the country (
Modal Scarf Wyoming by VIDA VIDA LVcRKEZ9o
, Great Lakes Drone Company , and Wildly Creative Marketing , just to name a few) that are starting to offer drone light shows as an alternative to fireworks in blaze-prone areas. An added benefit (or perhaps drawback for traditionalists) is that masses of drones only create a cicada-like buzzing rather than the massive booms that can frighten and confuse pets, often prompting escape attempts.
The price of drone shows is still high as the technology is still new, but unlike fireworks, drones can be reused for multiple nights of shows, spreading out the cost. Of course, prices vary depending on the number of drones being used, but a show with 100 drones can cost upwards of $80,000—more expensive than fireworks, but safer and just as spectacular.

"The human capacity for burden is like bamboo – far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance." – Jodi Picoult
You may think you're not very resilient.
The word "resilient" might bring to mind all of the struggles and setbacks that have plagued you in your life. You might be thinking about how hard it is to recover from some of the worst ones. You may be thinking "I'm not resilient at all – just look at how often I've struggled to get back up!"struggles and setbacks
If you're thinking any of this, then you are probably one of the most resilient people.
You have suffered, you have struggled, you have waded through a seemingly unstoppable tide of difficulty – and you have survived.
We tend to think of resilient people as those who are unaffected by the challenges of life, who take a setback with a smile and laugh in the face of their obstacles. But this is not resilience.
The Positive Psychology toolkit is a science-based, online platform containing 135+ exercises, activities, interventions, questionnaires, assessments and scales.
Resilience is not the absence of distress or difficulty. Resilience is the ability to adapt and grow following adversity.
The person who feels no emotional distress when difficulty arises is not displaying resilience. The person who fails miserably, feels intense negative emotions, and survives to try another day is displaying resilience.
Put simply, resilience is the ability to adapt when faced with difficulty, trauma, or tragedy. We all demonstrate resilience throughout our lives. While some people may be more resilient than others, resilience is not an immutable trait or characteristic that you either have or don't have. Resilience is a learned ability, one that can be learned and built and developed by anyone.
Pages: 1
Resilience is "one of the most important elements of our lives," said clinical psychologist John Duffy , Ph.D. Some people are naturally more resilient than others. But anyone can learn to strengthen their ability to bounce back from rough times.
We asked clinicians to share their suggestions for cultivating this skill, along with what resilience is really all about.
Resilience is the "knowledge that we can handle challenges, difficulties and hardships in our lives," according to Duffy, also author of the book The Available Parent: Radical Optimism for Raising Teens and Tweens .
Clinical psychologist Christina G. Hibbert , Psy.D, defined resilience as the ability to bounce back after something knocks you down. "Resilient people are those that can duck and dodge the curveballs and get back up and going when life knocks them down."
Deborah Serani , Psy.D, a clinical psychologist, cited the Japanese proverb: "Fall down seven times, get up eight." "Being resilient is about weathering the stressful storm and finding your ground again," she said.
Joyce Marter , LCPC, a therapist and owner of the counseling practice Urban Balance , described resilience as the "strength to continue on the path which you know to be true, despite obstacles and challenges."
Clinical psychologist Ryan Howes , Ph.D, cited resilience researcher Galen Buckwalter's definition: "resilience determines how quickly we get back to our 'steady state' after the air has been knocked out of us, when we must push through life circumstances that challenge our very being."
Howes also likened resilience to playing the guitar. Many potential guitarists stop playing after their first lesson because their fingertips hurt. But others persevere. "[P]eople who are really interested in guitar push through this initial discomfort and realize after a week or two that the strings don't hurt anymore because their fingertips have grown tougher."
In other words, their fingers have become more resilient and "better able to tolerate the string tension, stronger as they push down the strings, and more competent at finger placement. I think this metaphor fits for most areas that require resilience."
According to Buckwalter's work, resilience consists of strength, meaning [or] purpose, and pleasure. Specifically, "When a person feels strong enough to handle daily life as well as extreme challenges, when you feel you have clear focus and direction for your life, and when you deeply enjoy experiences and events that satisfy you, resilience should be within your grasp," said Howes, also author of the blog " In Therapy ."

Puerto Rico's population is declining. Faced with a deteriorating economy, increased poverty and a swelling crime rate, many Puerto Ricans are fleeing the island for the U.S. mainland. In a four-part series, Morning Edition explores this phenomenon, and how Puerto Rico's troubles are affecting its people and other Americans in unexpected ways.
Daysi Pena was selling cosmetics and accessories at the Rio Piedras market in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when she spotted two men getting out of a car. They ran into the jewelry store across from her stall, ran out again and began firing guns.
The incident was the last straw for Pena, who had worked at the market for 12 years.
"I'm moving to the United States with my daughter," she said, referring to the mainland.
Puerto Rico's per capita murder rate is six times that of the U.S. as a whole. And with violence escalating, many residents are considering joining the thousands of others who have already fled the island for brighter and safer opportunities.
The island's police superintendent, Hector Pesquera, says tackling the crime problem has been a challenge. Before he ran the police force, which is responsible for the entire island of more than 3.5 million people, Pesquera spent years leading the FBI bureau in Miami.
The picture wasn't pretty when he returned to Puerto Rico. He came home to a fleet of police cars in despair, aging equipment and officers arrested for corruption. Drug cartels, he says, were also moving their businesses to the island from Mexico.
"Plus, unfortunately, we broke the all-time record for murders [in 2011]," he says. "We had 1,136, I believe."
It's a record that Pesquera and his team are trying to combat.
"We had 186, 187 less murders, so we're slowly making a dent," he says.
America's Role
Pesquera says political muscle is needed to make the case to Washington, D.C., that solving the drug and crime problems here will help people on the mainland.
In many ways, Puerto Rico is America's third border, Pesquera says. Drugs that enter from Latin America can head right to the mainland without going through customs. According to Pesquera, 80 percent of the drugs that come through the island end up in cities and communities on the East Coast.
"Help us. Because if you help us, we're going to help the United States," he says. "Is it that hard?"
Puerto Rico's resident commissioner, or nonvoting member of Congress, Pedro Pierluisi, says the Department of Homeland Security will soon begin an intensive effort to curb drug violence. DHS would only confirm that it has expanded anti-drug operations in Puerto Rico and continues to deploy personnel there.
But police superintendent Pesquera says he's still not convinced that people on the mainland are paying enough attention to how dire the circumstances are in Puerto Rico.
"Out of sight, out of mind," he says. "I was watching the national news and they were highlighting Oakland [Calif.] and the major crime wave there — 114 murders. We blow that in a month here. You see any uproar? Nothing."
Pesquera says he knows the island will get the help it needs at some point. "It's just when," he says. "When's the breaking point?"
Beating The Culture Of Crime
In an area called Old San Juan — a touristy spot in the capital — cobblestone streets and trendy cafes paint a paradise that's described in all the tour books. But Luis Romero says there's more to the scene than visitors may notice.
"Below the obvious, incredible beauty lies a very sad situation of high crime," says Romero, who was born in the neighborhood.
Romero was pulled into the war on crime when his son was killed almost two years ago on his son's birthday. After a night of celebration, his son was on a walk with his girlfriend in a well-lit area when a 14-year-old stole his cellphone.
"He gives the iPhone, gives the money, but the guy decides to attack his girlfriend and stabs her twice. My son jumps in to defend her, and he died a hero. He got knifed three times. The kid is serving now 30 years in jail," Romero says. "My son is dead."
Romero started an anti-crime organization called Basta Ya ("that's enough" in Spanish). He says his son, who was a criminal justice student, advocated for unity and an end to the culture of crime.
Violent crime and drugs have long been issues on the island, but many Puerto Ricans say they used to feel safe as long as they weren't involved in the drug war. Now, crime feels more widespread, Romero says, affecting the poor and rich alike.
"This is no way to live, that you have to be looking to the right and looking to the left to make sure that nothing is going to happen to you," he says. "You are sitting at home and you hear the 'ratt-tatt-tatt-tatt-tatt' of the machine guns going on. Why do we have to live through that?"
Romero, who has family who have already left, says he used to have conversations with his son about whether they too should leave.
"Sometimes, as a father, I feel torn," he says. "If I had moved, he wouldn't have been killed. Maybe or maybe not."
When asked what he wants people on the U.S. mainland to know about Puerto Rico, Romero says, "Well, the people of Puerto Rico are very warm, very welcoming. You can enjoy Puerto Rico, the natural beauty, the opportunities.
"But as fellow American citizens," he says, "don't give up on us. We may need some help now, but don't give up on us."
And let's return now to our series on Puerto Rico. And yesterday, David, you left us at a market where you were talking about the poor economy in Puerto Rico and how it's driving people away.
That's right, Steve. And today we're going to get into another big reason that people are moving away, and that's the crime problem on the island. And what's interesting here, Steve, is when we were at this market talking about the economic situation, we just happened to strike a conversation with this woman.
DAYSI PENA: (Spanish spoken)
GREENE: Her name's Daysi Pena. She's a vendor who sells makeup and hair products along the street. So, she pointed to this little jewelry store right across from her stall and she described how the day before two guys jumped out of a car, ran into the store, came out and starting shooting. This was all in broad daylight. And for her, this is was really the last straw.
PENA: (Spanish spoken)
GREENE: I'm moving to the United States with my daughter, she kept telling us. She was talking about the U.S. mainland, which many people here refer to a different country. But Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so you can move to the mainland by just getting a plane ticket. And given the scale of the crime problem now, you might see more and more people going. I mean, the crime statistics, they're terrifying. This place has a higher murder rate than any U.S. state. And the man whose job it is to tackle that is the police superintendent for the island, Hector Pesquera.
HECTOR PESQUERA: It's been quite a challenge since I got home.
GREENE: Home for Pesquera was Puerto Rico. He then spent years in Florida, among other things, leading the FBI's bureau in Miami. He returned last year to run a police force that's responsible for the entire island of more than three and a half million people. Now, to find Pesquera's office, you have to walk through a heavily secured compound that looks more like a U.S. embassy in a war zone. The police chief had his badge and pistol on his belt, and he sat in his office telling us what he found when he arrived back on the island: a fleet of police cars in disrepair, aging equipment, officers arrested for corruption and drug cartels moving their business here from Mexico.
PESQUERA: Plus, unfortunately, we broke the all-time record for murders in here.
PESQUERA: 2011, right. We had 1,136, I believe.
GREENE: Higher murder rate than Mexico, which is a pretty startling factor here.
PESQUERA: Well, it's not a record we're proud of. We're trying to tackle it. Last year, we had 186, 187 less murders. So, we're slowly making a dent.
GREENE: We've heard so much about the drug war on the Mexican border and beefing up that border; and sending money, sending resources, sending manpower. You don't hear that much about Washington trying to fight drugs coming through Puerto Rico.
PESQUERA: First of all, there's no political muscle here.
GREENE: And political muscle is needed, he said, to make the case to Washington that solving the drug and crime problems here will help people on the mainland. In many ways, Puerto Rico is America's third border. Drugs enter from Latin America and they can head straight to the mainland without ever going through customs.
PESQUERA: Eighty percent of the drugs that comes in here goes to the eastern seaboard. So, I mean, help us. So, if you help us we're going to help the United States. So, is it that hard?
GREENE: And help could be on the way. Puerto Rico's non-voting member of Congress, Pedro Pierluisi, says the Department of Homeland Security will soon begin an intensive effort to curb drug violence in Puerto Rico. The department would only confirm that it's expanded its anti-drug operations on the island and continues to deploy personnel. But the police chief, Pesquera, says he's not yet convinced people on the mainland are truly paying attention to how bad things are here.
PESQUERA: Out of sight, out of mind. I was watching the national news and they were highlighting Oakland and a major crime wave there - 114 murders.
GREENE: Oakland, California.
PESQUERA: Yeah, yeah. We blow that in a month here. Do you see any uproar? Nothing.
GREENE: If this continues, if we see the crime rate stay where it is, the murder rate, the economy remain in trouble, paint a picture for me of this island in five, 10, 15 years.
PESQUERA: I don't want to paint that picture. I don't want to see that happen. I know that at one point we're going to get all the help that we need. It's just when? What's the breaking point?
GREENE: We're outside now, in an area called Old San Juan. It's a touristy area of the capital with cobblestone streets, trendy cafes and an old Spanish fort that dates to the 16th century.
LUIS ROMERO: There's a beautiful convent. And if you look through here...
GREENE: We came here to meet a man named Luis Romero. He was showing us around on a sunny afternoon, and this was feeling like the paradise that's in all the tour books, but...
ROMERO: Below the obvious incredible beauty lies a very sad situation of high crime.
GREENE: It's a situation Romero knows too well. His day job is at a telecommunications company, but he was suddenly brought into the war on crime after a tragic night for his family. He now runs an anti-crime organization called Basta Ya, which means that's enough. The name comes from Romero's son, who was a criminal justice student. The young man used to say that the people of Puerto Rico should come together and declare that they'd had enough of this culture of crime.
ROMERO: Well, you know, he was murdered on April, 2011. Almost two years now, of the day of his birthday. We celebrated his birthday. He goes out with his girlfriend in the Condado area, you know, very well-lit area. At 10 o'clock, they decided to walk the streets. A kid - 14-year-old kid - goes out to steal his iPhone. He gives the iPhone. He gives the money. But the guy decides to attack his girlfriend and stabs her twice. My son jumps in to defend her and he died a hero. He got knifed three times. The kid is serving, now, 30 years in jail. My son is dead.
GREENE: The death of Romero's son may say something larger about crime on the island. Crime and drugs have long been problems, but people told us they used to feel safe as long as they weren't involved in the drug war. Now, crime is everywhere, affecting poor and rich alike.
ROMERO: This is no way to live, that you have to be looking to the right and looking to the left to make sure that nothing is going to happen to you. You are sitting at home and you here this rat-tat-tat-tat, all the machine guns going on. Why do we have to live through that?
GREENE: Some people have decided they don't. Romero has family who've left, and he looks back on conversations he had with his son about whether to leave.
ROMERO: Sometimes, you know, as a father, I feel torn because one of the things we were discussing was to move out of Puerto Rico. If I had moved, you know, he wouldn't have been killed - maybe or maybe not.
GREENE: I wonder what you would want to tell people listening on the mainland, who know very little about Puerto Rico.
ROMERO: Well, the people of Puerto Rico are very warm, very welcoming. You can enjoy Puerto Rico, the natural beauty, the opportunities. But as fellow American citizens, don't give up on us. We may need some help now. But don't give up on us. It's very difficult.
GREENE: That's the voice of Luis Romero. He runs an anti-crime group called Basta Ya, Spanish for that's enough. Tomorrow, we're going to hear how even in these tough times, the music and culture of Puerto Rico are still thriving. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Every college graduate, job seeker, and ambitious employee knows the value of networking, but the process of turning handshakes and business cards into a useful web of professional contacts can be daunting.
Evelyn Barahona, Joseline Mane, Colette Phillips, and Raj Sharma, however, have it figured out. These Boston businessmen and women have working a room — or an elevator, in at least one case — down to a science. They agreed to share their networking secrets that will help you make an impression.
Evelyn Barahona
Even though Evelyn Barahona, 36, attends networking events every week, these receptions and cocktail hours are not where she makes the strongest connections. In fact, she says, her best networking opportunities spring up in the most ordinary places: elevators, trains, even baby showers.
"I have met the most interesting, extraordinary people just by interacting," says Barahona, director of business development for Quality Interactions, a Boston company that offers a health care e-learning program. "To me, that's the epitome of networking."
Barahona's first experience with networking came early in her career when, bored with her job, she started signing up for after-work events. Early on, she went to a Hispanic-American Chamber of Commerce event and found herself overwhelmed, until one helpful attendee offered a tip that she has followed ever since.
"She said the best thing you can do is introduce yourself and focus on the other person," Barahona says. "Ask a lot of questions and genuinely be interested in learning about that person."
Barahona credits her strong network with helping her land her current position and securing her a spot on the advisory council of Floating Hospital for Children. The Spanish-language newspaper El Planeta recently named her one of Boston's 100 most influential people in the Latino community; she used the reception last month as a chance to do a little more networking.
Joselin Mane
Marketing and technology entrepreneur Joselin Mane starts networking even before he steps foot into an event. Standing outside a launch party for a new medical service last month,he tweeted about his location, posted a picture of the venue to another social media app called Path, and checked in on Foursquare.
"That lets my community know I'm around," he says. "It solidifies my brand."
Social media-enabled networking is not just a personal practice for Mane; it is also his business. In 2008, Mane missed an event held by social media website Mashable. He was so disappointed that he decided to figure out how to prevent such an oversight from happening again.
"I thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool to have just one resource . . . that would promote events I was interested in,' " he says.
Thus was born Boston Tweetup, a service that compiles listings for networking events and promotes them on social media. A mobile app that will allow users to search for events based on their own criteria is in the works. Mane, 40, also runs LITBeL Consulting, a company that helps businesses use social media in their branding and marketing efforts.
Mane says his gregarious Dominican upbringing has made him a natural at forming personal connections.
"Everybody's family," he says. "It's just part of the culture."
'There are people who would be shocked to know that I have started off as a somewhat shy person.'
Mane advises anyone who's skittish about networking to get to know themselves — what they want out of the experience and what they can offer.
"The more value you add to the ecosystem," he says, "the more value you get out of the ecosystem."
Colette Phillips
Colette Phillips is the owner of a public relations agency and the founder of Get Konnected, a thriving multicultural networking event with a recently launched digital magazine. So it may be surprising to hear that networking did not come naturally to her.
"There are people who would be shocked to know that I have started off as a somewhat shy person," she says.
Growing up in Antigua, Phillips was taught that speaking out was disruptive and unladylike, she says. When she moved to Boston for college at age 17, she was initially taken aback by how freely her fellow students challenged professors.
"This is something that I had to work at," she says.
Indeed, Phillips, 57, emphasizes that networking is, in fact, work. It is a skill that requires effort, practice, and pushing the boundaries of comfort. She tells people to network outside their industries, gender, ethnic groups, and even career level; having a friendly executive assistant on your side can be invaluable, no matter your position.
Effective networking also requires an investment of time and sometimes money, Phillips says. Charity fund-raisers, which draw a wide-range of people, are ideal places to make new contacts, she says, but often cost enough to make a young professional think twice. Nonetheless, Phillips advises spending the money.
"You are contributing to a charity and contributing to your career," she says.
And when attending networking events, she says, prepare yourself with breath mints, a funny joke or two, and a dose of patience.
"If you are meeting somebody for the first time, they are not going to become your BFF," Phillips says. "You have to allow the relationship to evolve."
Raj Sharma
A few years ago, Merrill Lynch wealth manager Raj Sharma was at a philanthropic event, chatting with a woman who was raising money to build an orphanage in Nepal. Intrigued by her work, he referred her to a foundation that ended up helping out her cause.
"Since that time, she has referred me to six or seven people, some of whom have become my clients," Sharma says.
For Sharma, 55, the key to successful networking is not to worry about networking, he says. Instead, he prefers to think of himself as a resource: Help people make the connections they need, and the rewards will come.
"Eventually, networking is absolutely beneficial for your career," he says. "I would not go into it with the mindset of expecting something quickly."
Sharma had to build his own network from scratch when he emigrated from India in 1980. Though he worked in business in his home country, Sharma was drawn to the media industry; he even had a side job as a disc jockey, playing Western music over the Indian airwaves. So he decided to head to Boston to pursue a master's degree in mass communication at Emerson College.
Though he has since committed to a career in finance, Sharma remains active in many spheres, as a trustee at Emerson and a member of the board of directors for the Boston Harbor Islands Alliance and the American Indian Foundation.
"At the end of the day I want to do well in my business," he says, "but that cannot be your singular goal."Sarah Shemkus is a Globe correspondent. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chris reassures LMNOP that they could come up with everything he needs to perform. LMNOP agrees and says that the first thing he needs is a guitar. After learning about how to make one on the internet, Chris, Allen, and Telly are able to construct a guitar out of a paper towel tube, transparent tape, rubber bands, a pencil, and a tissue box. Chris explains that the pencil will help create sound by raising the rubber bands up off the box to make it easier for them to vibrate. LMNOP is ready to try the guitar out on stage but there is no stage. Chris, Allen, and Telly construct a stage out of vegetable crates reinforced with tape so the crates will stay together and be strong enough. It works! LMNOP jumps onto the stage and now asks for a sound check. Together they construct a microphone using lampshades. They will help amplify the sound and make it louder for the audience to hear.

Miranda Kerr & Orlando Bloom: Home for the Holidays!
Miranda Kerr lands at the airport with husband Orlando Bloom and their 11-month-old son, Flynn, on Wednesday (December 21) in Sydney, Australia.
The trio jetted into the 28-year-old model's homeland from New Zealand where they had been enjoying some R&R.
"Hey Everyone, I just wanted to share this video with you. Having a gay brother myself, It's something that is very close to my heart and which I totally support in every way. It's time for Marriage Equality. This time next weekend, delegates at the ALP National Conference will be voting on whether to make it their policy to end marriage discrimination," Miranda wrote on her Kora Organics blog late last month.
"This video has already reached nearly 1,000,000 people – but a national TV campaign this week would reach double that again, and really put the pressure on!" she added. "Please share this video with everyone you know and End Marriage Discrimination."
FYI: Orlando is using his Ergo baby carrier!

Bad Boy Sphere Compression shorts were designed by BAD BOY to be worn for general fitness, grappling, BJJ, or MMA workouts. They can be worn on their own or as added protection under shorts or Gi pants.
These compression shorts can help to promote blood flow; therefore increasing muscle performance and efficiency. The other major advantage is that they protect you from minor injuries such as scratches, grazes and burns which can come from the mat or your opponents clothing. This means your skin will also be guarded against germs in the mat during grappling.
They are extremely durable, constructed from a polyester and spandex blend of fabrics meaning they will fit comfortably and withstand frequent and long term use. This material also means they are super quick drying which can be useful if you train regularly.
The athletic Sphere design with ergonomic paneling, thick elasticated waistband and Bad Boy eyes makes the Sphere compression shorts an ideal addition to your training wear.

Privacy Policy
Privacy of Library Records and Library Use
Adopted June 15, 2003
The Fond du Lac Public Library protects the privacy of library records and the confidentiality of patron use of the library as required by relevant laws. Information regarded as confidential under Wisconsin law includes, but is not limited to, borrower's registration information, information regarding items checked out, information regarding items requested through interlibrary loan, reference or readers' advisory questions, and attendance or participation in library programs.
In addition, the Fond du Lac Public Library Board supports the principle of freedom of inquiry for library patrons and has adopted this policy to protect against the unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of library users.
Legal Requirements
The relevant Wisconsin laws concerning the confidentiality of library records are Wisconsin Statutes Section 43.30 and the Wisconsin Personal Information Practices Act (Sections 19.62 to 19.80).
Under Section 43.30, library records which indicate the identity of any individual who borrows or uses the library's documents or other materials, resources or services may only be disclosed:
(1) with the consent of the individual library user
(2) by court order
(3) to persons acting within the scope of their duties in the administration of the library or library system, or
(4) to other libraries (under certain circumstances) for interlibrary loan purposes [see ss.43.30(2) and (3)].
Wisconsin's Personal Information Practices Act (Sections 19.62 to 19.80) requires all state and local government organizations to develop procedures to protect the privacy of personal information kept by the organization. Libraries are required to develop rules of conduct for employees involved in collecting, maintaining, using, and providing access to personally identifiable information.
Records indicating the identity of library users include records that include a library user's name, social security number, telephone number, street address, post-office box number or 9-digit extended zip code.
Any library employee who receives a request---or who is served with a subpoena, court order, or search warrant---to release or disclose any library record shall promptly notify the director.
Under ordinary circumstances the library director will be the designated contact with law enforcement officials and others seeking disclosure. In the immediate absence or unavailability of the director, all requests for information will be referred to the library director's designee, who will notify the director of the circumstances, and of any actions taken, as soon as possible.
In accordance with Wisconsin Statute, confidential information may not be released unless the request is accompanied by a court order.
The library director shall, in a timely manner, review all requests and orders, consult with the library's attorney as necessary, and respond in an appropriate manner to each request and order.
To preserve the confidentiality of library records, the director should, if possible, gather exact information instead of permitting officers or agents to examine library records or databases. If library records are examined or removed the library shall request that access be restricted to those persons working directly on the case and that only records of the person being investigated be examined.
Library Procedures
General information:
• Those seeking disclosure could approach anyone on staff, and may approach people who are not in supervisory positions.
• The FBI generally is involved only if a terrorism/international matter is at stake; otherwise, local law enforcement or private parties may be involved.
• Requests for information typically take place during regular business hours.
• The director should document all disclosure activity. In the case of Patriot Act-related concerns, any costs incurred by the library should be documented.
• Court orders and subpoenas will likely specify a time period within which information or other materials are to be provided; library staff should not feel hurried into providing materials or information.
• Search warrants are to be acted upon immediately, and should state what is being requested, and that the warrant involves removing items from the premises.
During the visit:
• The director or designated contact person should meet with the agent with library legal counsel or a colleague in attendance in some conveniently private location.
• If the officer or agent does not have a court order compelling the production of records, the director or designated contact person should inform the officer or agent that in compliance with Wisconsin statute library records may not be released without a person's consent except when a court order has been presented.
• Emergency situations which law enforcement officials determine may require immediate action or involve immediate danger if their efforts are delayed might prevent the immediate production of search warrants. Staff members should ask that the documents be produced at a later time and take careful note of the names of agents and the reasons given by them for conducting the search before presenting court documents.
• If library property is removed as the result of a search library staff should make a complete list of all items removed, including serial numbers if possible. Library staff will request a receipt, or receipts, for any property removed. Staff should attempt to work in an atmosphere of mutual respect for the law.
• The following request might be received in an investigation.
o Request to see list of Internet users.
o Request to see list of registered borrowers.
o Request to see list of items checked out by borrower.
o Asking of general questions by agents about any suspicious persons or activities in the Library.
o Questions about seeing a specific person or persons using the library.
o Removal of library property.
If the court order is in the form of a subpoena:
• If a court order is served the director or designated contact person will accept the order and immediately refer it to legal counsel for review.
• Legal counsel should examine the subpoena for any legal defect, including the manner in which it was served on the library and the breadth of its request.
• If time permits, review the information that may be produced in response to the subpoena before releasing the information.
If the court order is in the form of a search warrant:
• A search warrant can be executed immediately. The officer or agent may begin a search of library records as soon as the director or designated contact person is served with the court's order.
• Even if there is an immediate demand to remove materials or information, library staff may reasonably request time to attempt to contact legal counsel, for legal council to have time to examine the warrant, and for legal counsel to be present during a search.
• Library staff should cooperate with the search to ensure that only the records identified in the warrant are produced and that no other users' records, or other library equipment are viewed, scanned, or confiscated.
If the court order is a search warrant issued under Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) (USA Patriot Act amendment):
• General regulations for a search warrant apply. However a search warrant issued by a FISA court will likely contain a "gag order." No person or institution served with such a warrant can disclose that the warrant has been served or that records have been produced pursuant to the warrant.
• The library and its staff must comply with this order. No information can be disclosed to any other party, including the patron whose records are the subject of the search warrant.
• The gag order does not eliminate the library's right to legal representation during the search. The library can still seek legal advice concerning the warrant and request that the library's legal counsel be present during the actual search and execution of the warrant.
• Any questions about the incident from the press or any other individuals should be referred to the Library Director.
If the court order requests a list of patrons who have checked out certain items, or information regarding what a patron has checked out in the past:
• Once an item has been checked in the link between the patron record and the item record is broken and this information cannot be retrieved by library staff.
If the court order requests information on web sites a patron may have visited or email they may have used:
• A record of past internet use----web sites visited and web-based email services accessed---is not saved on the WALS servers.

With a team of scientists and other dedicated professionals, the Department of Conservation administers a variety of programs vital to California's public safety, environment and economy. The services DOC provides are designed to balance today's needs with tomorrow's obligations by fostering the wise use and conservation of energy, land and mineral resources.
The Department of Conservation administers or supports a number of programs designed to promote orderly growth in coordination with agricultural endeavors. This is a crucial job: The population of California is expected to grow from its current 34 million to 50 million by 2025, and the need for new homes will put strain on the nation's leading agricultural economy. Key DOC tools available for land conservation planning are conservation easement grants, tax incentives to keep land in agriculture or open space, and farmland mapping and monitoring.
Division of Mine Reclamation (DMR)
The reclamation of mining land wasn't addressed in state law before 1975. The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act is the link between producing the mineral products important to California and protecting the environment. Under SMARA, every mining operation must have a permit to mine, an approved reclamation plan (the mined land must be restored or altered to a condition agreed upon prior to mining), and a sound financial ability to ensure reclamation. California Geological Survey (CGS)
In the United States, only Alaska experiences more earthquakes than California. Scientists from DOC gather data on earthquakes and map earthquake faults and related hazards. This information is used to make buildings and structures that are better able to withstand earthquakes, minimizing loss of life and property damage. In addition, the Mineral Resources Program gathers, analyzes and distributes information on the state's mineral resources to help prevent valuable mineral deposits from being lost.
Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources (DOGGR)
DOC ensures the safe exploration and development of energy resources. It oversees the construction, operation and closure of oil, gas and geothermal wells, an important step in guarding drinking and agricultural waters against pollution. DOC also is the clearinghouse for information about the state's oil, gas and geothermal industry, with more than 170,000 well records, production and injection statistics, well logs and field maps.
State Mining & Geology Board (SMGB)
The State Mining and Geology Board operates within the Department of Conservation, and is granted certain autonomous responsibilities and obligations under several statutes. The board's general authority requires all nine board members to "represent the general public interest." The board serves as a regulatory, policy and appeals body representing the state's interest in geology, geologic and seismologic hazards, conservation of mineral resources, and reclamation following surface mining activities.

After a $450 million investment by California counties in electronic voting systems aimed at modernizing elections, newly elected Secretary of State Debra Bowen ordered an independent review of the new voting technologies to ensure they adequately protected the integrity of the vote. When the study revealed troubling flaws in the systems, Bowen strictly limited the use of direct-recording electronic voting machines, and imposed significant security and auditing requirements on systems to be used in California's February 5 presidential primary election. Bowen's decision was met with resistance by voting system vendors, who criticized the study's design, and many county elections officials, who contended the switch to paper balloting would result in massive delays in the reporting of election results. For her bold leadership and her steadfast resolve to protect the integrity of the vote, Debra Bowen is honored with the 2008 Profile in Courage Award.

Imagining Boston's floating neighborhood
Imagining Boston's floating neighborhood
Original sketches froma plan to build an island Expo city in 1976, which would then become Boston's new floating neighborhood.
The neighborhood was planned for the area between Columbia Point and Thompson Island.
Architect Jan Wampler's plan for the 1976 Expo included a dome on Thompson Island.
Wampler's plan also included a floating grid of buildings that extended from Columbia Point well into the harbor.
The plan was perhaps the most dramatic reimagining of Boston's landscape in the past half-century.
This all-but-forgotten plan has resurfaced at the center of a conversation about whether it's time for Boston to reclaim that sense of vision.
Some thinkers say it's time to acknowledge that effective planning means thinking beyond the city limits.
The recent Boston Society of Architects exhibition of the sketches was intended to start the conversation.

8 percent
The (sad) number of new parents who have date night once a week
General stats:
• 66 percent were happy with their pre-baby sex life; only 24 percent are happy with their post-baby sex life.
• 74 percent say sleep is more important than sex.
• Nearly 60 percent say their partner is the one who initiates sex.
How many respondents have sex more than once a week?
Before baby 66%
After baby 24%
Breastfeeding moms, read here!
• 75 percent are having less sex than they did pre-baby.
• 80 percent say their partner wishes they had more sex.
Your bedroom used to be just that: a bedroom. Now it's a makeshift nursery, day-care center, storage facility and pump station. But newborns doesn't only change ground zero for your sex life. They can change the quality and quantity of sex, the level of intimacy and, perhaps most important, the biology of a woman's body.
Because sex is such a private and taboo subject, getting specific details about post-baby coitus is a real struggle. (There's a good reason the guy who invented the "Do Not Disturb" sign is a millionaire.) Hence, we commissioned a study to learn about the sexual practices of new parents nationwide. More than 10,000 people -- 96 percent of whom were female -- participated, making it the largest sex survey in the magazine's history. Short of peeking through the neighbors' blinds, this is as close as we'll ever get to seeing what's happening in America's most private rooms. With the help of ob-gyns, pediatricians, therapists and sexperts, we present the study's most interesting facts and trends, plus tips for restoring the bedroom to the love nest it once was.
Which one of these is not like the others?
a. Oysters b. Chocolate c. Scented candles. d. Infants
When it comes to aphrodisiacs, babies rarely make the list, and our survey proves it: Among respondents, 66 percent were happy with their pre-baby sex life, yet only 24 percent are happy with their post-baby sex life. "Pre-baby, you're trying to conceive, so you're focusing on sex," says Jill Grimes, M.D., a family physician in Austin, Texas, and author of Seductive Delusions: How Everyday People Catch STDs. "When you're having more sex, you have more opportunity to improve the quality as well as the quantity. Practice makes perfect."
That changes with the new arrival for several reasons, including basic anatomy and physiology. Irwin Goldstein, M.D., editor-in-chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine and director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, California, puts it bluntly: "An 8-pound item coming through the vagina can have a major anatomic impact." The tearing of the perineum and other genital tissue, episiotomies and hormonal surges --ouch! -- can all complicate mom's sexual health. According to a recent study about postpartum pain published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, nearly half of all respondents reported an episode of pelvic or genital pain lasting three months or more. Dr. Goldstein adds that approximately 20 percent of the women he treats suffer from problems related to childbirth.
"It's also about the hormone changes and what they do to how you feel," says Tania Paredes, a psychotherapist and couples counselor in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "Parenthood figures into 50 percent of the patients I see."
True or false: Sleep -- or lack thereof -- is a major obstacle to sex.
Sadly, true. A whopping 74 percent of respondents at least partially agree with the statement, "Sleep is more important than sex." When asked why they are having less post-baby sex, nearly 80 percent say, "We're too tired."
"Being a new parent is more disruptive to one's sleep than any other life adventure," says Ari Brown, M.D., a pediatrician in Austin, Texas, and co-author of Baby 411 and Toddler 411. "Romance and physical exhaustion don't mix."
Breastfeeders vs. non-breastfeeders: Who's having better sex?
Interestingly, mom's decision regarding whether to breastfeed not only affects baby's health, but mom's sexual health as well.
According to the survey, breastfeeding moms are having a tougher time with post-baby sex than non-breastfeeding moms: They're less happy with their post-baby sex lives, feel less sexy and experience more pain during intercourse. When asked, "How soon after baby did you have sex?" 9 percent of breastfeeding moms say they are still waiting, compared with 2 percent of non-breastfeeding moms. Conversely, women who aren't breastfeeding are having a much more dynamic post-baby sexual experience: They have more quickies, foreplay and sexual fantasies.
For breastfeeding moms, biology is the chief libido crusher. A breastfeeding mother produces a surplus of prolactin, a hormone made by the pituitary gland in the brain. Prolactin decreases estrogen levels, which in turn thins the vaginal walls and decreases vaginal secretions -- nature's way of preventing ovulation so mom doesn't get pregnant again right away. The result is dry, uncomfortable sex -- and who wants that?
A breastfeeding mom also gets less sleep, which inhibits libido. "A breastfeeding mom is up every two to four hours either feeding her child or pumping her milk to store," says Michele Hakakha, M.D., an ob-gyn in private practice in Beverly Hills, California, and co-author of Expecting 411. "If a new mom chooses not to breastfeed, she may be sleeping through the night as her partner or another caregiver can bottle-feed formula."
Then there's the issue of mom's breasts, which have transformed from erotic icons to infant smorgasbord. "Your breasts become less of a sexual entity and more of a nourishment outlet," Dr. Grimes explains. "When you've got a baby constantly suckling at your breast, you don't really want hubby lining up for his turn."
While breastfeeding can hamper mom's sexual connection, her emotional connection has only become stronger. Compared with non-breastfeeding moms, breastfeeding moms fight less with their partner and are less worried about their partner cheating. When asked why they're having less post-baby sex, 48 percent of breastfeeders chose "I'm preoccupied with baby," compared with 32 percent of non-breastfeeders.
Dr. Hakakha has a theory why breastfeeding moms have a stronger bond. Oxytocin, another hormone made by the pituitary gland, is released during orgasm and breastfeeding. Oxytocin stimulates the part of the brain involved in trust and reinforcement, and this leads to bonding. "Looking at it from a Darwinian standpoint," she explains, "it causes women to bond to their partners so they can have more babies and perpetuate the species, and to their children so they will feed, nurture and protect them." Non-breastfeeding moms earn their own dose of oxytocin from holding, cuddling, feeding and smelling baby.
The side-effects of a C-section
What did Caesar know anyway? According to the survey, women who had Caesarean sections are more likely than those who had vaginal births to feel self-conscious with their post-baby bodies, have no libido and -- perhaps the impetus for the previous two -- struggle with postpartum depression.
"Needing to have a C-section after being in labor for hours and hours is often felt as a 'failure' by the mother," explains Dr. Hakakha. "Women often feel that their bodies have 'let them down.'" She adds that in cases of emergency C-sections, such as those for premature births and multiples, "these babies often go to the neonatal intensive care unit, where they're separated from mom. All of these factors could lead to a higher rate of postpartum depression."
Looking for romance? Don't ask a parent
When asked, "How often do you go on date night?" 67 percent say every few months or never; only 8 percent have date night once a week. Creating a romantic rendezvous at home is equally challenging. Eighty-two percent have sex either before bed or in the middle of the night, and nearly 60 percent say their partner is the one who initiates sex more often. Hypothesis, considering that 96 percent of our respondents are women: Is dad making a move on mom after those late-night feedings? Not too suave, Dad Juan de Marco.
"It's a lack of intimacy, not sex, that mars the relationship," says Paredes. "Sex is a physical act. Intimacy doesn't even have to lead to touching. It can be a deep conversation, or sitting close together while watching a movie. Women put intimacy higher on their priority list than sex. Start building this first, and the sex will come."
Reigniting the flame: surefire tips for better post-baby sex
* Be patient Mom's body needs a break after delivery. The standard recommendation is to wait four to six weeks after a vaginal delivery. If you had a C-section, your doctor may suggest waiting longer. Once you resume, think sparklers, not fireworks. "For most women, the first few times they have intercourse in the postpartum period are uncomfortable," says Dr. Hakakha.
* Back to basics Just because you can't rev the engines for those first couple of months doesn't mean you have to turn off the car. "We tend to forget what we did before we had sex," Paredes says. "There's a lot you can do that doesn't include penetration, like touching, kissing, hugging, playing and rubbing."
* Got lube? For breastfeeding moms, the increase of prolactin leads to a decrease in vaginal secretions. Try a water-based lubricant like Astroglide.
* Date night, stat! Scheduling regular outings with your partner is critical, but "don't mix baby and date night," says Paredes. "Taking the family to Babies R Us and then dinner doesn't count." Date night doesn't have to be a scene out of chick flick either. "Date night can be a candlelit dinner, but don't limit yourself. Drop off the baby with a family member or babysitter and go window-shopping through a mall. Being in each other's presence is what's important."
* Happy wife, happy life Some woman goes through a "self-esteem plunge" during the first year of motherhood, says Paredes. "She feels uncomfortable in her body that she may not even recognize. She feels guilty about going back to work, and incorporating her pre-baby life into her post-baby life. We need to give mom more credit and patience." Dad needs to lead the charge. "Help around the house more," Dr. Grimes says. "The baby introduces many new chores, and the previous ones do not disappear." The easiest chore of all: regular compliments. "Guys need to remember to tell new moms they're beautiful," she adds. "And please -- compliments need to come all the time, not just when they're asking for sex."

The Obama administration on Friday issued final rules requiring insurers to cover mental health and substance abuse treatments in the same way that medical and surgical benefits are covered.
The rules require that health plan co-payments, deductibles and coverage restrictions for mental health and addiction services be the same as those for standard medical treatments.
The new guidelines, which apply to nearly all private insurance plans, finalize implementation of the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and will expand treatment services for millions of Americans.
"This final rule breaks down barriers that stand in the way of treatment and recovery services for millions of Americans," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
In the aftershock of December's shooting in Newtown, Conn., when a mentally ill gunman stormed a school and killed 20 children and six adults, Congress and the White House have emphasized better mental health services, among other approaches, as one way to combat gun violence.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the rules were "long overdue" but constitute the "single most important step to stem and stop gun violence since the Newtown tragedy."
"Countless Americans will be safer and healthier because these rules will enable victims of painful, debilitating and disabling mental health conditions to seek treatment before they actually commit harm to others," Blumenthal said.
Experts said the expansion of treatment under the new rule also could help curb homelessness and jail overcrowding since the mentally ill account for a disproportionate share of street people and inmates.
More than 45 million U.S. adults suffered from a mental illness in 2011, but just over 17 million of them received treatment, according to a 2012 report by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Likewise, some 23 million Americans have a substance abuse problem, but only 10 percent of them get treatment, said Gil Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
The new rule does not require group health plans to provide mental health and substance abuse benefits.
Rather, if they do, the new rule requires that those plans' financial requirements and treatment limitations for mental health and addiction benefits cannot be more restrictive or more generous than the guidelines for most medical and surgical benefits.
The new parity rule applies to non-federal governmental health plans with more than 100 employees, private employer group plans with more than 50 employees, and individual coverage purchased on the new insurance marketplaces.
Group plans of smaller employers with fewer than 50 workers are not subject to the law, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Medicare and Medicaid programs are likewise not covered by the new guidelines.
Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, president of the American Psychiatric Association, called the announcement a "historic milestone" that addresses a major disparity in the health insurance market.
"Finally, we have the pieces in place to enable mental health care to be provided more effectively and more fully to people in need," Lieberman said.
Members of National Guard and military reserve units who served in Iraq and Afghanistan will be some of the main beneficiaries of the new rules, since they rely on job-based health coverage, not Veterans Administration benefits, to treat their post-traumatic stress disorders and other emotional wounds of war.
"That is why these rules are not simply important for all Americans, but they're of particular importance for our American heroes, and I think that it's important we continue to keep that in mind as we monitor and as we enforce these rules," said former Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy, who suffers from mental illness and who worked with his late father, Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, to pass the 2008 legislation.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho continues criticism of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes Luis Suarez should not have been named Premier League player of the year.
Last Updated: 11/05/14 3:43pm
Mourinho has been a regular critic of the Liverpool striker, who won the PFA and Football Writers' Association awards, dubbing him as the king of penalties and describing him as an "acrobatic swimming pool" diver.
And now Mourinho has stated his belief that the player of the year should be either Suarez's Anfield team-mate Steven Gerrard or Manchester City striker Dzeko, who has scored some vital goals in his side's end-of-season run.
City will secure the title on Sunday with a point against West Ham and Mourinho feels the individual award winner should come from the champions.
Mourinho said: "Luis Suarez is a very good player. They're not voting for a player who has no quality.
"(But) the profile of player who wins the player of the year is not the profile of player who used to win in English football 10, eight, six years ago.
"He bit (Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic) not this season but the previous season. This is a different season. I'm not speaking about one mistake that a man can have. You don't have to be punished for the rest of your life if you make a mistake on the football pitch.
"(But) my player of the year would be always from the champions, in every condition.
"If the champion is Man City - they need a point - I would say a Man City player and if I have to choose one, I would choose Dzeko.
"The kind of player he is, he's not just a goalscorer. He assists, he plays, he behaves, he's fair, doesn't dive, doesn't try to put opponents in the stands with accumulation of cards.
"He was the third (choice) striker at the beginning of the season. He was hidden behind his manager's first choices and when the team needed him in crucial moments of the season, I think he made the difference.
"In this moment I think he has 16 goals. Sixteen goals for the third striker is something spectacular."
Mourinho's praise for Gerrard even included thinly veiled criticism of Suarez.
He added: "Tremendous cold blood as a penalty taker. He had lots of them but with every penalty he was there for the team too and some of them were crucial."

Gucci Mane Slept Through His Big Spring Breakers Sex Scene
"And she was on top of him for a good 45 minutes."
Twenty hours into the last day of filming Spring Breakers, director Harmony Korine arrived at the final scene on his shot list: a sex scene, scheduled for four o'clock in the morning, featuring rapper/actor Gucci Mane (who plays a rival criminal to James Franco in the film). This scene, thought Korine, would be a piece of cake; after all, Korine had gone to great lengths to cast a love interest with a booty grand enough to pique Gucci Mane's interest: "They sent me a clip of this girl walking across the room with three or four Coke cans on her ass, and we cast her, based on that video," Korine told Vulture. Alas, there was one thing Korine hadn't counted on: how super fucking stoned Gucci would be by the time cameras began to roll.
"In his entourage, everybody smokes weed from the beginning of the day to the end," explained Korine. "So we're inside this house in St. Petersburg, and the fucking weed smoke was so insane and Gucci was basically catatonic. I was like, 'Gucci, you've got to have sex with this chick now!'" How did he receive the news? "He wanted her to ride him so he wouldn't have to do any physical labor."
For a while, that worked. "So we're shooting the sequence, and as he is getting fucked, I start to hear snores," said Korine. "He had literally passed out! And she was riding his dick the whole time. I'd never in my life filmed a sex scene where the dude was sleeping … and she was on top of him for a good 45 minutes."
And yes, that's the take that made it into the film. Laughed Korine: "At the end, he woke up and was like, 'I feel real nice. I feel like Mozart's on my dick.' And that was it, and he went back to sleep."
