Q What is a public adjuster?A
A public adjuster is a licensed insurance professional who exclusively represents the policyholder following major property damage to their home or business. At The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, we are your proactive advocates in the wake of disaster.
Q What does a public adjuster do?A
Public adjusters provide you peace of mind knowing there is a professional in your corner who can secure the best possible settlements. A public adjuster navigates your insurance policy, combing through the details and complex language to be sure you are aware of your obligations and time restrictions. We know and understand the emotional toll on families and companies and we are there to support you all along the way. At The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, we expertly evaluate and document your losses—including hidden damages. And we not only prepare your claim and communicate with your insurance company on your behalf, but also negotiate for the best insurance settlement possible to help you recover.
Q Does a public adjuster need to be licensed?A
Public adjusters are licensed in most states and subject to strict laws governing their services and ethics. For peace of mind, make sure your public adjusters are members of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA). At The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, we are both licensed and we are members of NAPIA.
Q Do you need a public adjuster?A
Think of it this way. If you sell your property, you work with a realtor to get the best possible outcome. If you are dealing with the IRS, you hire an accountant to get the best possible outcome. If you suffer property damage, you should hire a professional public adjuster to get the best possible outcome from your claim. With The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, you are in excellent hands.
Q How much does a public adjuster charge?A
Public adjusters typically charge a small percentage of the total amount they helped you collect for your claim, so the fee varies based on your insurance settlement. At The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, we offer free consultations.
Q What is the difference between a public adjuster and an independent adjuster?A
A public adjuster works exclusively for you, the policyholder. An independent adjuster works as a consultant on behalf of the insurance company. To have your own professional representation, you need to hire a reputable public adjuster to advocate for your best financial interest. The public adjusters at The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International are here to help you get what you are entitled to.

When will I receive my report?

How do I pay for my home inspection?
We offer various flexible pay option for your home inspection. We accept all major credit cards and debit cards.
- We send a link upon ordering for Clients to pay online at their convenience.
- If a Client is not comfortable with paying online, we will take a phone credit or debit card payment as well.
- Clients may also pay onsite using cash or check.
All home inspections must be paid for prior to release.
Unfortunately we do not offer escrow billing at this time.
Do I need to attend my home inspection?
The short answer is no. If you are out of town or your schedule does not permit you to attend the inspection, know that our reports are very specific and contain photographs detailing all the issues found. We are always happy to go over the report by phone, line by line if need be, and address all your questions and concerns.
Should I attend the inspection?
Understand that our focus, attention, and actions are all geared toward working in the best interests of our clients. Contrary to the long-standing paradigm that you should attend your inspection, it's actually detrimental to your best interests to attend the entire inspection. When anyone attends the inspection and engages with the inspector, as he's trying to perform his tasks, it increases the potential for an omission by the inspector. If you are able to attend the inspection, we recommend that you attend at the conclusion of the inspection. We will discuss all the Findings with you, show you the corresponding photographs, and answer all your questions and concerns. Because the inspector will now be thoroughly familiar with the home, he can also provide you with an orientation of the home showing you where the GFCI resets are located, where the water shut-off is located, and answer any other questions you may have.
If you definitely feel you must attend the entire inspection, you are more than welcome to! We only ask that you keep your interactions with the inspector to a minimum until the end of the inspection.
Do you provide a warranty?
It is a violation of the law governing home inspectors in the State of Nevada to offer warranties or guaranties of any kind (NAC645D.470.2). There are home inspection companies in Nevada that do offer warranties and guaranties, but we adhere to the law.
A home inspection is a snap shot of the property the day of the inspection. Appliances and major systems may fail (sometimes during escrow after we inspect) & we highly recommend you purchase a home warranty and perform a final walk through inspection prior to Close of Escrow.
Will you perform my final walk through inspection?
Our E&O insurance carrier prohibits us from doing final walk through.
You are highly recommended to do a final walk through with your agent to make sure all systems are in the same working order as the day you wrote the contract and the day you had your home inspection.
We strongly advise that you speak to your real estate agent & broker about your options and that you do NOT close if there are items that are not working properly.
What are the terms of the free reinspections?
We do free re-inspections for the following items: impaired access, lack of gas utilities & to verify seller repairs were done properly per the fully executed Request for Repair addendum. We do not reinspect for post-inspection damage in instances like break ins, vandalism, fire, water damages, repairs that had nothing to do with the original inspection report, post-close repairs, final walk-throughs, etc.
Our re-inspections are run in routes, where arrival will be during a 6 hour time frame.
There is a charge for specific set-time appointments.
What is the duration of my home inspection?
It will depend on size, property condition and amenities. A rough estimate:
- Under 1500 SF - approx 2 hours
- 1501-2000 SF - approx 2.5 hours
- 2001-2500 SF - approx 3 hours
- 2501-3500 SF - approx 3.5 hours
- 3501 - 4500 SF - approx 4 hours
- 4501 SF and above - call for quote
We are always happy to give you a call one hour prior to conclusion. Please mention this when ordering so we can place this in your order!
Do you provide discounts?
We are not a discount inspection service. The depth and detail of our service is comparable to companies that charge much more. The only discounts we do provide are for US Veterans and active duty military personnel. For those people we offer a 10% discount up to a maximum of $50.00 off.
How much does the home inspection cost?
It will depend on GLA (Gross Living Area) and amenities (pool, spa, detached structure, new construction, etc.) All of our prices are conveniently posted on our website for transparency. You may also call 702-210-5333 and give an address for the most accurate verbal quote.
Will you provide a list of contractors to do the repairs?
Unfortunately, we cannot. No home inspector should ever provide direct referrals to contractors because it presents the appearance of an impropriety. An inspector could have a brother-in-law in the roofing business and make him very wealthy. We believe the appearance of an impropriety is an impropriety. We recommend references to licensed and qualified contractors be provided by the persons agent or by finding them on the website of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Nevada
Will you give guidance to the Seller or List Agent for completing repairs?
Often times the seller or listing agent calls us looking for guidance and direction for repairs. We do need expressed, written permission from either the Buyer or the Buyer Agent to speak with the Seller or the List Agent. Nevada law, NAC 645D.460.4 (Professional Conduct) states: "A Certified Inspector shall...Not disclose any information concerning the results of an inspection without the approval of the client or his representative for whom the inspection was performed."
Also, know this, our reports are specific enough for any licensed contractor to follow and understand. Most often, when we receive a request for further guidance from a Seller or Listing agent, it's because unqualified people are being used to accomplished the repair(s). We will not assist unlicensed contractors with repairs and we always recommend the use of a licensed and qualified Nevada Contractor. A licensed and qualified Nevada Contractor provides higher protections than a Handyman.
What happens if two re-inspections is not enough?
Our two (2) free re-inspections are free to the consumer. Obviously, it costs us money to perform them and frankly, they're not cheap. They cost us more than $30k per year to provide them to our clients. The reason we offer two (2) free re-inspections is because we were finding that the repairs have not been accomplished, or had not been accomplished properly after the first re-inspection. Generally, once it becomes apparent that an inspector will be coming back to the property to review the repairs, they are properly completed after the second re-inspection. If a third, or any additional re-inspections are needed, they are available for a fee of $95 each.

My Stepmother wants me dead, and I'm afraid.
I'm lucky, because I was able to get away.
I didn't know what was to become of me, but I knew I'd be okay.
I had just met my one true love, and we shared one song.
I know it's with him that I belong.
I don't know if I'll ever see him again,
But as for now I am living with seven little men.
They gave me a home when I had no where else to go.
My feelings for them are starting to grow.
They want to keep me safe from the evil Queen.
All they ask in return is that I cook for them and clean.
I've never had anybody love me so much.
There's only one that gets cross by my touch.
Eventually I will win his grumpy little heart,
And he'll never want me to depart.
I think I will bake his favorite pie.
Maybe then he will become my ally.
I think of my handsome Prince all the time.
Being with him again would be sublime.
Maybe when Spring is here,
He will find me, and I'll be full of cheer!
Until then I will feel a little glum,
But I know in my heart that someday my Prince will come.

Hey guys!
I recently celebrated my 24th birthday, and so I thought I would share some thoughts about the past few years that might help you make it to 30 sane. Don't get me wrong here, I know 24 is really young still. I think everyone's 24 years are different though, and while you may not have dealt with some things by 24, I may have mastered them. And vice versa. So sharing life info and advice seems like a nice gesture to me. Like a, "hey, that puddle is way deeper than it looks, don't jump in it, take this route if you can instead." So take it or leave it, here are 24 things I've learned in 24 years:
1.) Time is infinite, but you are not.
Don't make the mistake of procrastinating on everything you do. There are only 24 hours in a day, and if you don't make an effort to plan the important things out they will get swept under the rug and forgotten. It's part of adulting, and I don't like it, but at some point you have to get things over with for your own peace of mind. If you plan and strategize how you'll accomplish them, you'll eliminate so much stress from your life.
2.) Take your time.
Seems like I'm un-telling you what I just told you, right? Wrong! You should totally be responsible with your time. Important things are important things, and you shouldn't slack off on them. BUT – you also should not spend all of your time flustered about what's happening next. Take time to do nothing. That sounds crazy, especially now in this super fast paced world, but trust me, you need that nothingness time to decompress and unwind. My favorite thing is to just cuddle up on the couch and let my brain chill out while I watch Nash play. If you don't do this, you'll miss little moments and important memories. Besides, what are you even rushing through your days for? Is all that stress worth it? Sometimes there is a traffic back up because God is protecting you from an accident or something. Take your time, don't worry about the next 2 seconds every second of your life.
3.) Life is not just about accomplishing things.
This is as forward and plain as I can be. What you accomplish on Earth – your degrees, your trophies, awards, projects, etc – those are all things to be proud of, but they are not your sole purpose in life. From a Christian perspective your purpose is to glorify and walk with our Creator, and demonstrate a life that reflects and draws others to His love. My point is though that we shouldn't put all our focus on getting things done and checking off the goal lists. Unless those lists include things like enjoying the company of others, smelling the roses, taking in the sunsets, and being kind to others just because, in which case you check that list off like no body's business! Try not to make everything about what you earn and have and win…sometimes it's just about being in the place you're in, nothing more.
4.) Politics Suck
I am so sick of political sewage all over TV. I can't even turn it on or even listen to the radio without someone complaining about someone else. For one day, please, consider just not freaking out about issues that other people cause or bring up. I have no fear about Trump because I know who is really in control, and it's not him, it's not a political party, it's not the voters, it's God. And while I do not trust people, I do trust in Him. His word gives me peace no matter what happens in this country. I don't live in fear of men or their actions. And I refuse to. Elect who you want, but I won't let an election or a bill cause strife or stress on my mental health. Neither should you.
5.) Be aware of your words
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." Not true. It's great fine and dandy if you have a strong back bone that allows stuff to roll off of you, but know that your words have power and they can break even the strongest person down. Your words can be life-giving or poison, be careful and think about what you are about to say when you speak.
6.) Have integrity
Always assume someone is watching you and you might change the way you do things. Act righteously, keep your word, and do the honorable thing even when it costs you.
7.) Keep your word
Simple; If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you say you won't do something, don't do it. I figured this one was worthy of it's own number. It seems like a lot of people are flaky these days and it bugs me…not that I haven't had my flaky moments (all I can think of when I say that word is the Pillsbury flaky buttery biscuits, carb monster much? lol). If you tell someone you'll be somewhere or do something, then be respectful of them as a person and do it or show up or whatever it is. If it doesn't work out, then have the courtesy to be up front and tell them about it.
8.) Men are completely different from women.
If you are a lady and you want Prince Charming, you may be in for some disappointment. Guys think in a totally different way than we do, and I went through a tough time being angry with God over the absence of that "fairytale" feeling in my relationship with Matthew. I did not understand why this man that I love so much who is clearly 'the one' – did not just GET me. I didn't understand why he didn't know that when I turned away from him I really wanted him to pull me closer to him. I mean, duh, am I right ladies? lol I struggled with it. I thought everything would just be wonderful and that once you find 'the one' that it would be easy because we were meant to be. WRONG! It's all a learning process. It's two people learning to co-exist in a very new, close setting. You have to learn to talk about what you want (even though we think they should just know without us telling them) and even more importantly, listen to their point of view. This is hard work, but worth it. If he loves you, if he's the one, he will learn and grow with you.
9.) Sizes on clothes don't matter
This is shopping, where everything's made up and the numbers don't matter! A size 10 in one brand can be a size 2 in another. Don't sweat the numbers.
10.) Take care of your finances
Don't be irresponsible with your money. Seriously. Your credit score determines your ability to purchase/rent/lease almost everything. Take care to pay bills on time and in full, never max a credit card out or have multiple cards, and settle for the reliable items/vehicles/etc over the fancy expensive ones. Just because someone tells you that you're qualified for a 8 million dollar loan does not mean you should take it. Debt is not your friend, people. Do what you can to be mindful and save. Also, don't be greedy or stingy or rude about your money. There is a difference between being frugal and unnecessarily cheap. We always make sure to pay our tithe to our church as well. Maybe you don't have a home church, but I believe it's important to donate or give to someone/something else regularly. (Check out Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace plan for more professional advice)
11.) Make Amends
Life is far too precious and short for you to hold grudges and be disconnected with those you love. Do not be greedy with your love or forgiveness, you could lose someone today and never get the chance to apologize or make things right.
12.) High School-schmighshchool
Not sure how you spell that but hopefully you get it…lol High School you goes away and disappears along with all of your expectations for adulthood. I don't think it prepares you adequately for real life anymore. You will have bills, you will have consequences for everything and every choice you make, what you wear or look like matters whole lot less, and no one cares if you think you're cool or not. We're all just trying to make it out here. Also, whoever said that people don't change knows nothing. Almost every single person you ever knew in high school will change. Including you. It's okay to give up a huge friend group and keep a few, close friends.
13.) Stop for sirens
Can I be any more clear? STOP AND PULL OVER FOR SIRENS! If it was you in that ambulance or in an emergency and that cop was in route to help YOU, I think you'd hope people would pull over. So PULL IT OVER! Can you tell this is a huge pet peeve of mine? If you don't pull over I will find you. I might be under your bed waiting for you at this very instant. PULL OVER.
14.) Don't hate your education
School is boring and regulated, but your education shouldn't be. Everything new is part of your education. Can't stand the classes you're taking? Switch majors. There are other jobs and fields out there, so don't continue a program if you are miserable doing it every day. There is time to change, time to investigate, and a million other ways to make money. Education should be fun, interesting, and challenging, but not boring, dreadful, and miserable.
15.) Music
Music is powerful, so be mindful of what you listen to. Consider switching it up to something more uplifting and encouraging if you're always listening to screaming, sobbing, or sexy tunes. That stuff fuels your mood and attitude.
16.) Don't hate your job
I'm a huge advocate for this. By all means, make the money and provide for your family and fulfill your responsibilities as a bill-payer, but for goodness sakes if you hate your job find something else! Maybe your dream job is in a factory making rubber ducks or something, but you just don't know it. Check other options out, don't settle for misery cuz you'll just make everyone else miserable too.
17.) One body
Pretty self-explanatory. Take care of it. Love it. Compliment it. Fuel it. It's one of a kind and you only get one.
18.) Go Outside
For reals, Netflix and the couch are soooo tempting and magnetic, but do check out the trees and stuff outside. It beautiful here in Michigan, even in the winter (boo to you snow haters, I love it), so it probably is where you are too. You'll feel good after spending some time in nature, I promise!
19.) Grief is no joke
I was always a 'get it over with' kind of person. Someone dies, it's not something to cry about, you just move on and remember the good things. But this summer we experienced a serious tragedy in our family, ( a subject for another time maybe) and it has changed me completely. I used to avoid the emotions of grief, they made me super uncomfortable, but now I know that they are unavoidable. Please, please, show compassion for others who have lost someone. Life is so very precious you guys. Death can leave a huge, gaping hole in someone for years, so be kind and understanding when you can.
20.) Keep Expectations in check
If you thought by now you'd have built a mansion and gotten married to the man of your dreams and that you'd have 4 law degrees and a pool boy named Antonio, but you don't, don't sweat it. Look up celebrities who didn't get their big breaks until their 30's, 40's, even 50's. You might be surprised. Life doesn't go the way you think it should, and that's okay.
21.) Try boxing
It is the greatest sport of all time. Everyone should try it at least once in their life, if not for the fitness then for the mental focus and clarity it requires. There's a reason boxers are the highest paid athletes ever; not only are they required to be physically conditioned to perfection, but they have to be even more mentally focused and fit. It's the Sweet Science baby!
22.) Do something uncomfortable
Write a blog! I'm way out of my comfort zone writing a blog. Some day I'll share it with my facebook buddies (maybe I finally have and that's why you're reading..if so then I have really conquered a fear lol). Basically, I recommend doing something that intrests you but you're shy or nervous about. It'll stretch you in a good way, and then you'll clear up a 'what if I..'
23.) Try New foods
Another of my biggest pet peeves – people who won't eat anything new. I used to be this way, so i can rag on those of you who are this way. When I went to Brazil I tried it all, even the weird stuff. Food is amazing! So quit being picky and TRY stuff. If you hate it, then don't eat it again, but you're missing out on a whole lot more than you know of you don't.
24.) Spare Love
Give love to everyone. Have compassion for everyone. Be vigilant and look for opportunities to care for others. The actions you take will affect those around you. Your example matters to someone who is watching and emulating you. Some days drag, some days fly by, but life is short when you look at the bigger picture. So love unconditionally, even those who don't deserve it. Forgive people for their wrongs, and show those who treat you badly that you will rise above the obstacles thrown at you. Know that what you do matters, and your life matters. Love yourself, love others, and love your Creator who formed you with His hands.
That's all for now!
Happy 24!!

Music From an Alternate Universe
Music - Classical
Released - Jan 08, 2013
The movie "10" made a pop hit of "Bolero."
According to the composer Maurice Ravel, "'Bolero' is 15 minutes of orchestra without any music." It consists of two short themes of a single melody repeated over and over again for 15 minutes, with different instrumental "colors."
As critics often due when confronted with something different, they protested. Ravel had gone too far. "Bolero" they said was "artificial music." "Has it occurred to them," replied Ravel, "that one may be artificial by nature."
Ravel never explained what he meant by that but there is something different about his sound world that's hard to put your finger on. Musical ideas would enter Ravel's mind and re-emerge as if from an alternate universe. Listen to what he did with the Strauss waltz in "La Valse."
Critics often compared Ravel with another "post-Impressionist" French composer of the time, Claude Debussy. Ravel and Debussy produced music with similar titles. Debussy wrote "Iberia," Ravel gave us "Rhapsodie Espagnole"; Debussy wrote a piano set called "Images," Ravel composed "Mirrors"; Debussy wrote "Reflets dans l'eau," Ravel produced "Jeux d'eau."
Ravel's father was Swiss, his mother Basque, and they raised their son in Paris. Indeed, there is bit of everything in Ravel's music: a bit of Spain, a bit of Austria, a bit of Russia, a bit of Children's music, a bit of jazz, a bit of Impressionism.
"I have failed all my life," wrote Ravel late in life. "I am not one of the great composers. All the great ones produced enormously. But I have written relatively very little, and with a great deal of hardship. And now I cannot do any more, and it does not give me any pleasure."
Ravel loved jazz, and you can hear it in his later scores. Whenever in America, he spent hours in nightclubs in Harlem and in New Orleans listening to jazz often in the company of George Gershwin. Gershwin had written "Rhapsody in Blue" and asked Ravel to teach him how to compose for orchestra. Ravel refused. "You would only lose the spontaneous quality of your melodies and end up writing bad Ravel."
Ravel greatly admired Gershwin's jazzy Piano Concerto in F and produced two jazzy concertos of his own: Concerto in G for Piano and Orchestra, and Concerto in D for the Left Hand. The piano part of the latter is so complex that one can hear the concerto and be unaware that only the left hand is being used.
Ravel may have not produced much, but what he did produce was distinctive and first-rate. His spanish music includes "Alborado del gracioso," "Rhapsodie Espagnole" and of course "Bolero."
Among Ravel's best known pieces for solo piano are: "Pavane pour une infante defunte" (Pavane for a dead princes), "Jeux d'eau" (Fountains), and "Valses nobles et sentimentales" (seven noble and sentimental waltzes). Ravel transcribed all these pieces or orchestra.
Ravel's masterpiece was written for a ballet based on a third-century Greek romance entitled, "Daphnis and Chloe." Conductor/composer Andre Previn has called it "The finest orchestral music written in the 20th Century."
On the list of great composers, Ravel is 29th.

31 October, 1817 – Humboldt was back in London trying to get the East India Company to finance his travelling to India. He wanted to investigate the Himalaya. Brother, Wilhelm complained that "London was too big and the weather was miserable. The streets were choked with carriages, carts and people."
Not me . . . I would this very day fly to London if I could. Thunderstorms are again predicted for Mobile, Alabama. It is 30 August, 2018. My son, James and his family live in London. My husband is from London. Oh, let me cross the pond!
Did you know Goethe said this? "There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings."
And of the astronomer, William Herschel who discovered Uranus, well he was 80 when Humboldt spent two days at his home in Slough just outside London. Love it that Herschel used the analogy of a garden when he noted: "the germination, blooming, foliage, fecundity, fading, withering, and corruption of stars and plants to explain their formations." And Herschel said this: "By reflecting a little on this subject I am almost convinced that those numberless small Circuses we see on the moon are the works of the Lunarians and may be called their Towns." What would Herschel have thought about man walking on the moon."
In this chapter, Humboldt is age 48. He was called the "indefatigable Humboldt."
Great praises for the Quarterly Review that said Humboldt's great talent was his ability to combine scientific research with "a warmth of feeling and a force of imagination." Humboldt wrote like a poet.
Henry David Thoreau said: This world is but a canvas to our imagination." Or maybe as William Blake would say, it is the ability to see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower."
Seems Bryon was a bit short-sighted in his lack of appreciation of Humboldt. It is good that both Coleridge and Wordsworth and Robert Southey all lauded him.
Andrea Wulf has given us astute connective powers of understanding.
Want to write a Haibun? It is a Japanese form, pioneered by the poet Basho, that comprises a section of prose followed by a haiku. They are sometimes travelogues – as in Basho's "The Records of a Travel-Worn Satchel (1688)." Think Humboldt on Chimborazo – or in London or Berlin. In the best examples, the prose and haiku should work together to create an organic whole.
The Importance of Goldfish
Michael McClintock
In our eyes and our sleep and our answers to everything and the way we ate our food and left our personal odors and debris around the house, like strands or clippings of hair, or a fingernail, or wadded tissue with spit, and seldom coordinated our clothes or speech or opinions when we went out or had people over, preferring different books by different authors about different things, and the feelings we kept to ourselves, harboring them like warts or bleeding punctures, until now, we grew apart and we knew it, had known it for over four years—since the day you lost the gold fish down the toilet and never said you were sorry. You even laughed about it.

Kent State holds off Youngstown State 69-61
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Jimmy Hall scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds to lead Kent State to a 69-61 win over Youngstown State in the season opener for both teams Saturday night.
Kent State opened the second half with a 6-0 burst capped by Hall's jumper that made it 41-33, but Youngstown State stayed close, briefly retaking the lead on a Shawn Amiker layup that made it 48-47 with 12:59 to go. The Golden Flashes responded with a 12-2 run, again capped by Hall, and held on down the stretch.
Kris Brewer and Devareaux Manley added 12 points apiece for Kent State, which shot 52.3 percent from the field and extended its win streak over the Penguins to seven straight.
Amiker led Youngstown State with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Bobby Hain added 17 points on 7-for-9 shooting.

Scenes on My Way to Work
On my way to work each morning, I admire this house because it's the only one on the block with such a pretty display of flowers. This morning I decided to park my car across the street and take a picture of it. I think the house looks better with the naked eye, but I tried to capture its beauty.
Also along my trip, I thought this scene of three doors in someone's yard was interesting so I stopped, parked my car and took some photos hoping no one would see me. I thought the person was selling doors, but it turns out that the doors are just part of her yard's decor—which was very cluttered by the way.

Maracay Homes is pleased to announce that East Mesa's newest premium community, The Vista at Granite Crossing, is blooming. Set in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains, the intimate community will feature 37 home sites which will be available early next year.
See some of the top reasons you may want to call The Vista at Granite Crossing home.
1. Plenty of Space

Each floor plan will feature four to six bedrooms and 2.5 to 4.5 bathrooms, ensuring everyone in the family will have their own area to enjoy. Each floor plan has Flex Design® options for optimum customization.
2. An Outdoor Enthusiast's Oasis
This community was specially designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind. Whether you'd like to admire the mountains from your own front porch or hitch up your boat for a day on the lake, The Vista at Granite Crossing provides the perfect home base for all that awaits just beyond your doorstep. Homes in the community have been designed with three- to four-car garages, providing ample storage for your family's outdoor toys and camping supplies.

4. Ideal Location
The beautiful mountainous surroundings covered in saguaros may give the impression that this community is far from city life. In reality, The Vista at Granite Crossing is conveniently located near multiple retailers, restaurants, hospitals and major employers, and the award-winning Mesa Public Schools district. Residents can easily enjoy the best of both worlds, thanks to easy access to freeways and major surface streets.

CLINTON, N.Y. – Amherst College fought back from a 6-1 deficit to tie the game, but saw Hamilton College turn around with six more runs in the next half inning as the Continentals defeated Amherst 18-10 in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) West baseball action on Friday evening at Loop Road Complex.
Joe Palmo '21 went 2-5 with three runs batted in and Daniel Qin '22 had a pair of hits and knocked in two for the Mammoths (12-8, 3-4 NESCAC).
Ethan Wallis and Matt Zaffino had three hits each for the Continentals (12-9, 4-3 NESCAC), who took the lead with a run in the first and five more in the bottom of the fourth.
Amherst tied the game in the fifth when they scored five runs on two hits and an error. Qin singled with the bases loaded, then Palmo did the same to score two more runs with the bases juiced and two out.
The Mammoths tied the game when Stephen Burke '20 lifted a fly ball to center field that was dropped, allowing Palmo and Qin to cross the plate.
Qin singled in another run with two outs in the top of the sixth, but that cut the deficit to 12-7 after Hamilton had plated six runs in the bottom of the fifth.
The Continentals took advantage of four miscues by the Mammoths in that inning, and seven errors through the game.
Amherst senior Chase Henley homered to left field in the seventh. Henley added to his team-high RBI total with 24 and now co-leads the team in homeruns, tied with Severino Simeone '20, who scored twice in the loss for Amherst.
Matt Santos '19 drove in Chris Murphy '22, who singled in a pinch-hit appearance in the ninth.
Gavin Schaefer-Hood got the win for Hamilton, improving to 5-1 despite giving up six runs on four hits and five walks over five innings pitched.
Jack Harlan '20 suffered the loss for Amherst, taking the mound after Andrew Ferrero '19 tossed four innings with five strikeouts and just one free pass.
Sachin Nambiar '22 tossed one and a third innings of perfect relief with one strikeout.
The two teams will play a doubleheader tomorrow starting tomorrow at 12:00 PM.

Wordless and Nearly Wordless Books
By Laurel Halfar
CCB affiliate and GSLIS Assistant Professor Dr. Kate McDowell will be giving a talk titled "Creating a History of Children as Readers" to a Peoria group of children's librarians on March 5.
The Center for Children's Books will have a booth at the 2012 Illinois Reading Council Conference in Springfield, Illinois. Come say hi and learn how our resources can help you!
As you may know, The Center for Children's Books houses a non-circulating collection of more than 16,000 recent and historically significant trade books for youth, birth through high school, plus review copies of nearly all trade books published in the U.S. in the current year. The majority of the books in our collection have been reviewed by The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, our affiliated review journal,in the last 5-7 years. These reviews feature concise summaries and critical evaluations to help you find the books you need. Each review offers information on book's content, reading level, strengths and weaknesses, and quality of format, as well as suggestions for curricular use. Moreover, Bulletin reviews are pasted directly into the books in our collection for quick, easy access.
But when it comes time to put it all together and create a themed storytime for preschoolers, an outreach program for teens, or an oral storytelling performance, the CCB has even more resources to help. The CCB houses over 1,000 professional and reference books, covering a wide range of topics from theory to practice. Like the rest of our collection, our reference resources are non-circulating, but they are always available for use during our open hours. As always, our Graduate Assistants can help you find a resource to address your needs, whether you're a teacher, practicing librarian, or LIS student. Read on for a preview of some especially helpful reference resources.
Bromann, Jennifer. More Storytime Action!: 2000+ More Ideas for Making 500+ Picture Books Interactive. Neal-Schuman, 2009.
After a short overview of the ten requisite elements of an interactive storytime, the bulk of this book is made up of ready-made theme-based storytimes as well as an extensive list of picture books that lend themselves to active participation. Each book entry contains a summary and suggested activities.
Gorman, Michele. Connecting Young Adults and Libraries: A How-To-Do It Manual; by Michele Gorman and Tricia Suellentrop. 4th ed. Neal Shuman, 2009.
The fourth edition of the "big pink Bible of teen services" spotlights new trends in library services and literature for teens while presenting a straightforward guide for any librarian looking to build their teen department from the ground up.
Greene, Ellin. Storytelling: Art and Technique; by Ellin Greene and Janice Del Negro. 4th ed. Libraries Unlimited, 2010.
The fourth edition of this storytelling standby includes a wealth of updated and new materials, covering both the cultural history of storytelling and offering a comprehensive instructional guide for the creation and administration of storytelling programs that can remain relevant in a media-saturated society.
This invaluable curricular guide returns in a revised and expanded addition that doubles its size. New material includes a fat chapter on thematic, archetypal, and author-focused approaches; case studies of school and public libraries and their approach to teen reading; additional titles and approaches in the chapter suggesting ways to expand curricular applications to areas beyond the English classroom, ranging from history to counseling to physical education.
Laurel's Choice: Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley
Anna's Choice: Outside Your Window: A First Book of Nature by Nicola Davies
Lauren's Choice: In Darkness by Nick Lake
Alternating in perspective between Shorty, a slum-dwelling gangster buried in the rubble of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and Toussaint L'Ouverture, leader of the late-18th century Haitian Revolution, this spirit-driven novel grapples with the darkness—of Haiti's turbulent political history, of the island's contemporary plagues of gang violence and poverty, of a deeply ingrained vodou tradition—with simultaneous depth and agility. At the beginning of the novel, Shorty's already trapped in the wreckage of the collapsed hospital, but he takes the reader back in time to tell his story, revealing a life marred by violence both suffered in the loss of his father and sister, and later waged by Shorty himself against his rival gang. L'Ouverture, in his efforts to reclaim Haiti for the formerly enslaved, strives to lead with ethics and wisdom first, strategic violence second, but his good faith in the new French administration leads to his capture and ensuing imprisonment. Spanning centuries and transcending the physical body, the spirits and voices of these two men, both facing death in impenetrable darkness, intertwine in this riveting snapshot of Haiti past and present.

Lee Dong Wook in Talks for "Strong Heart" MC Position
It has been reported that actor Lee Dong Wook is one of the newest candidate for the MC position on the hit celebrity talk show "Strong Heart."
According to an SBS representative on March 10, Lee Dong Wook is in the talks for "Strong Heart's" MC position. "Strong Heart" is looking for two MCs to host the talk show after Lee Seung Gi's leave.
A broadcast representative state, "Lee Dong Wook is a strong candidate, and we are currently in the process of discussing Lee's potential casting." He also added, "Lee's casting has not been finalized yet, and we will be meeting up with his representatives in the near future to discuss details and opinions."
One of Lee's representatives at King Kong Entertainment stated similarly, "It is true that Lee Dong Wook has been offered a position as the new 'Strong Heart' MC. The casting is not definite as of now, and we are currently reviewing the details."
Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi originally hosted "Strong Heart" together until this past September when Kang Ho Dong stepped down and declared a temporary retirement. Since then, Lee Seung Gi was the solo MC until he announced that he too would be stepping down. Lee will be recording his last episode on March 15.
As a result, the show is in the process of making a few changes, including finding two new MCs. Viewers have been expressing their anticipation for the show because it is expected that there will be exciting new changes.
Also, because Lee Dong Wook is already a Hallyu star, his potential addition to the show would further increase the value of "Strong Heart" in its role as a Hallyu content. As of now, there have been no details regarding the second MC candidate.
Lee Seung Gi's last episode featuring YG artists is scheduled to air until April 4.

With holiday shopping in full swing, WordPress websites that accept credit cards are busier than ever. Lots of business is great. Not being PCI compliant is bad.
PCI compliance is required by all the major credit card companies and if your website is not PCI compliant, you risk penalties, lost revenue, the inability to accept credit card payments in the future and worst case, an increased risk of cardholder data exposure.
The PCI Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS for short, is a checklist of baseline security practices to help protect cardholder data and any technology that has access or connects to the computers or networks which contain, process or transmit the data. The latest version of the DSS as of this writing is 3.1, and it contains 12 requirements within six broader categories.
- Build and Maintain a Secure Network and Systems
- Protect Cardholder Data
- Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
- Implement Strong Access Control Measures
- Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
- Maintain an Information Security Policy
The standard is technology agnostic. It provides best security practices to protect cardholder data. That means the PCI DSS applies the same to WordPress websites as it does to other platforms.
How much of the standard applies is up to the website owner. If the website uses shared hosting and a third party gateway to process payments, much of PCI DSS may be out of scope. If the website is self-hosted and accepts cardholder data, the entire standard may apply.
Some WordPress websites with e-commerce use off-the-shelf plugins that use PCI-compliant third-party gateways to accept and process credit card transactions. This takes the website out of scope of the standard as the payment gateway handles compliance. If credit cards are accepted on the WordPress website, even if a third-party gateway is used, it's advisable to become PCI compliant. Compliance provides a proper assessment of e-commerce practices, a strong foundation for website security and peace of mind for customers.
Regardless of gateway used, payment processors may mandate PCI compliance. Here are a few tips to help secure your WordPress website and help bring it closer to compliance.
- Configure SSL for the site — SSL is essential for e-commerce, for the security of customer data and the customer's peace of mind.
- Control administrative user access — Tightly control who has admin access to the website and make sure they…
- Use strong passwords — Configure all users with strong, non-dictionary passwords and change them at regular intervals.
- Keep everything up-to-date — Always keep WordPress, plugins and themes up-to-date with the latest versions.
- Maintain the site — Remove unnecessary users and plugins and keep development code and backups off of the production site.
Providing your customers a worry-free holiday shopping experience is the main objective for any WordPress e-commerce website. To ensure you are meeting PCI requirements contact SiteLock at 855-759-1108 for a free consultation.

1 tablespoon of fish sauce
One 3-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
2 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
In a medium saucepan, cover the rice with 4 cups of water and the 3 Savory Choice Stick Pouches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the piece of ginger into slivers: Thinly slice the ginger crosswise; stack the slices, removing the bottom rounded slice, so the stack is stable and easy to work with; cut the slices lengthwise into thin slivers.
Add the remaining 3 cups of water, 2 Savory Choice Stick Pouches, fish sauce, salt and sugar to the rice, bring to a simmer and continue cooking over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in half of the ginger and simmer for 10 minutes longer.
Ladle the soup into shallow bowls, garnish with the shredded chicken, sliced scallions, chopped cilantro and the remaining slivered ginger and serve.
MAKE AHEAD The recipe can be made through Step 3 and refrigerated overnight. When reheating, add extra Chicken Broth to adjust the consistency.
NOTES This recipe could be made using Savory Choice Beef Broth Concentrate with cooked beef instead.

Jurassic Park (PG)
- No reviews.
- Bushy Park
We request all budding paleontologists & paleobotanists to join us in Bushy Park for The Nomad's screening of Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking 1993 dinosaur adventure. Our invite brings you to this awe-inspiring movie milestone with fresh eyes, under the stars, surrounded by the great outdoors.
While this all sounds very romantic and enjoyable, we wish to bring your attention to a few points: picnics are very welcome but roast chicken has been known to attract velociraptors, and tyrannosaurs find it hard to resist curried goat – choose your sandwich filling carefully. Blankets are a good idea, as are low-backed chairs – but perhaps you'd also consider some kind of protective titanium cage for you and your loved ones? Finally, while a woolly hat will keep you cosy after sunset, from a great height brightly coloured headwear can resemble tropical fish - the favourite night snack of pterodactyls. We're just saying...
Lying North of Hampton Court Palace, the history of Bushy Park is inextricably linked to the palace, yet it has always had its own distinct rural character. The famous Arethusa 'Diana' Fountain forms the centrepiece to the equally famous Chestnut Avenue.
The flat site on which Bushy Park lies has been settled for at least 4,000 years. There is clear evidence of the medieval field boundaries, with the finest example just south of the Waterhouse Woodland Gardens, where there are traces of the largest and most complete medieval field system in Middlesex.
Our screenings take place at the Woodland Gardens Pheasantry Welcome Centre. The best train stations are Teddington, Hampton Court or Hampton Wick, though all require a 10-15 minute walk to get to the park.
Please note that for public safety and environmental reasons, glass is not permitted anywhere in the Royal Parks. If bringing a picnic, please bring plastic cups and plastic bottles instead. Many thanks.
Access to our Bushy Park screenings is via Teddington Gate only - then follow signs to the Pheasantry Welcome Centre / Café.
Just like The Lexi Cinema, The Nomad financially supports the fantastic work of trailblazing charity, The Sustainability Institute. Find out more...

Professor becomes new Prorector
The University Board has decided to appoint Professor Thomas Bjørnholm new Prorector of the University of Copenhagen. Bjørnholm comes from a position as Director of the Nano-Science Center at the Faculty of Science. He will take up the post on 1 September 2010. The prorector position is appointed for a five-year period
Interdisciplinarity in focus
The internationally recognised Thomas Bjørnholm has had a long career in both research and management. He has a PhD in materials chemistry from the University of Copenhagen and has spent the past ten years working cross-disciplinary between a number of rising research areas such as nano-science and synthetic biology. Both areas come to include humanities as well as social sciences when advantages and drawbacks in new technologies are assessed in a social context.
- The University of Copenhagen works consistently to strengthen its position as a European top university. This is done through increased internationalisation and advancement of our interaction with society, by continuingly identifying the fortes of basic research, and by developing our study programmes. Professor Thomas Bjørnholm will be able to contribute his experience with developing new interdisciplinary research fields, business collaboration, and his particular eye for internationalisation. I look forward to continue the University's progress with the new Prorector, says Rector Ralf Hemmingsen.
Basic research, management and dialogue
As Director of the Nano-Science Center, Thomas Bjørnholm has taken part in creating both the research field and the organisation around it from the start. In less than ten years, Bjørnholm and his collaborators has managed to create a top international research centre, begin new cross-disciplinary study programmes, take home significant research funds in competition with others (more than DKK 600 mio), as well as establishing research collaborations with a large number of businesses.
- The University of Copenhagen has a unique tradition for inventiveness, creativity and pursuit of personal goals. Our challenge is to combine this with good management without loosing sight of the substance. Experience shows that great researchers go where great researchers and research leaders already are. When it comes to this, the international competition is stark. In the future, a part of what we will be competing on is optimum intellectual and physical research frameworks for both individuals and groups, says future Prorector Thomas Bjørnholm.

The Heat is On!
Hot and sweaty! I have had no water for over 24 hours – my neighbours have filled large bottles to help me and this morning I am amazed at the amount of water I use for a single person – loo flushing, washing up, teeth brushing – why did I use all those cups!? – must be a couple of gallons already and I haven't washed my hair!!
For a few hours I am experiencing what some Palestinians endure for 4 days at a time. So I am suitably humbled, for I can call my landlady and she can phone the water company to solve it. OK they haven't come yet but eventually they will…..in Palestinian time!
Water apartheid
A clip from Al Haq's recent 53 page report 'Water for One People Only'* states:
'Israel has renderer any reasonable access and use of water resources in the OPT practically impossible for the occupied population.'
Thirsting for Justice Campaign found that: **
– The average Israeli daily consumption per capita (300 litres) is about 4 times the Palestinian average (70 litres) which is well below the 100 litres recommended by the World Health Organisation. The average daily water consumption in the UK is 150 litres per person.
– Israel controls the aquifers underneath the West Bank extracting close to 90 % of their yearly sustainable yield and forbidding Palestinian access to the Jordan River.
– Some Palestinian communities live with as little as 20 litres of water per person a day. This is barely enough water for their basic needs.
– Communities depending on tankered water pay up to 4 times more for every litre than those connected to the network, adding strain to their income.
– About half a million Israelis live in illegal settlements located beside thirsty Palestinian communities. They have unrestricted access to water, well-watered lawns and swimming pools
Coupled with that is the destruction by settlers and the Israeli army of wells and water cisterns.
Political Hot Air!
The heat is on as well for the next round of peace talks, apparently Al Quds newspaper doubt if they are going to take place. Where does this leave the Palestinians? Ziad the director of the Al Bireh municipality and one of my students, is really worried if they don't happen because right now more building is authorised in the settlements and the 'judaization' of East Jerusalem proceeds apace. If there are no talks this could make way for the complete annexation of the West Bank.
Or will this be the igniting of the 3rd Intifada? Some think it will only take a spark to make this happen; in this place of uncertainty it is difficult to predict.
My water 30 hour 'drought', was evenutally solved, not by the water company, but by two neighbours – one a Professor at Al Quds university the other a lawyer – so if you can't get a plumber call in the academia!

Bibliography of Scholarship on Copyright
A blurb about the bibliography:
The "Current copyright literature" website is a resource for keeping informed of current articles related to U.S. copyright law. This service is edited by Tobe Liebert, the Assistant Director for Collection Development & Special Projects at the Tarlton Law Library.
Here's the process: I review law journals and law reviews (and a great many other legal periodicals) as they are received in the library. I examine the table of contents of all of these publications and identify any article concerning U.S. copyright law. I then input the basic bibliographic information about each article into this database, and scan the first page of the article. The availability of the first page of the article should better enable readers to know if they are interested in reading the whole article.
This website will be updated two to three times a week, depending on the volume of cites. This service is RSS-enabled to allow users to receive automatic notices of updates. The RSS feed address is http://web.austin.utexas.edu/law_library/copyright/rss.cfm.
My position on "fair use": Only the first page of an article will be scanned and images will be deleted after 60 days. This service is for non-commercial, educational purposes only.
Although I'm in favor of goosing fair use a little more, especially for educational purposes, I think it's a fantastic thing Liebert is doing. Via Copyfight.

Communications Director for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Eastern region, Mr. David Prah, has given the hint that, all corrupt officials under former President John Dramani Mahama shall be arrested from next week.
He asserted, it is unfortunate for Ghanaians to be subjected to the tantrums of the NDC despite the thievery under them. He said Ghanaians had to endure the bunch of thieves chaired and headed by Mr. Mahama when they were in power.
But for the grace of God, we would have suffered more under the NDC. The election of Nana Addo saved Ghanaians from more stealing under the NDC.
He said the avenue through which the NDC stole from the state, was no longer available hence their consistent attacks on the current administration.
He said the NDC arranged with Woyome to steal from the state. They also stole from the NCA and SSNIT. He took his gun on Mr. Mahama for asking party supporters to show solidarity to former officials who would be prosecuted for alleged corrupt deals.
Mr. David Prah said government is daring the supporters to mass up in defence of those that will be arrested for their corrupt deals.
He warned, we will show them pepper. They should mass up and show solidarity to the bunch of thieves. The thieves will not go unpunished. He said aside the policies rolled out by the NPP, we have a president who is not a thief.

Marconi Fellow Bob Kahn on what people first thought about the net
"Nobody really thought [the Internet] was a good idea back then, in terms of [business] opportunities," Marconi Fellow Bob Kahn told a packed auditorium at Princeton's Friend Center March 12 — the 25th anniversary of the invention of the World Wide Web. Kahn, a Princeton alumnus, and Vinton Cerf, who are credited as the "fathers of the Internet," pointed to how their one invention made thousands of other technological advances possible, just as earlier inventions such as the integrated circuit had led to the semiconductor industry. Since its creation, Kahn said, "It has scaled by a factor of a million." HH

text: constitutional amendments Hurdles for Constitutional Amendments in Florida May Get Higher By Jim Saunders - News Service of Florida • Feb 17, 2020 REBECCA CRUZ/FLICKR New proposals have emerged in the Florida House and Senate that would make it harder to place proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. The House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee this week are slated to take up newly filed measures that would increase petition-signature requirements for political committees backing ballot initiatives. The proposals come as the Republican-controlled House and Senate also are moving forward with other bills that would place additional restrictions on the petition-signature process. Voters Beware: You Have No Idea Who's Behind That Petition They Want You To Sign By SKYLER SWISHER and ARIC CHOKEY • Nov 22, 2019 Scott Luxor / Sun Sentinel Florida's avenue for giving the power to the people is now a multimillion dollar business, one that is being exploited by special interests and flooded with mystery cash from secret donors. As a result, everyday Floridians are being blocked from the system that was supposed to give them a way to bypass big money interests. Assault Weapons Registry Would Come At A Cost By News Service Of Florida • Sep 3, 2019 Miami Herald A panel of state economists on Tuesday estimated it would cost $4 million to build a registry to carry out a proposed constitutional amendment that targets possession of assault weapons, if Floridians approve the measure in November 2020. The ballot proposal, backed by the political committee Ban Assault Weapons NOW, would prohibit possession of assault weapons but would provide an exception for people who own the guns at the time the measure takes effect. Those people would be able to keep assault weapons if they register the guns with the state. Proposal Could Allow Unaffiliated Voters To Participate In Florida Primaries By Sophia Cai • Aug 2, 2019 Carolos Osorio / AP This week, 20 Democratic presidential hopefuls debated the issues—and each other. Under Florida's 'closed' primary system, only registered Democrats can vote for any of them during the primary election next March. But that could change in future primary seasons. The Florida Supreme Court is reviewing a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow all registered voters in Florida—including the 3.2 million who are unaffiliated—to cast ballots in a primary election. Florida Representative Warns People Shouldn't 'Play Games' With The State Constitution By Denise Royal • Jul 28, 2019 Phil Sears / AP A proposed new "citizens amendment" could be on the ballot for Florida voters in 2020. It would replace two words in the state constitution with one word. Instead of saying every citizen can vote, it would say only a citizen can vote. The measure is picking up steam, even though it's already illegal for noncitizens to vote. In fact, a group called Florida Citizens Voters has raised more than $4.6 million and says it has gathered more than double the amount of signatures that a petition needs to be included in next year's ballot. Medicaid Ballot Drive Could Be Delayed By News Service Of Florida • Jul 24, 2019 IStock A drive to expand Medicaid in Florida may be pushed back two years, as organizers try to figure out if they can muster the resources to put the issue on the 2020 ballot. A spokesman for a political committee backing a proposed constitutional amendment --- which comes after years of Florida lawmakers rejecting Medicaid expansion --- said a final decision has not been made, but he acknowledged it may be difficult to meet state-imposed deadlines to take the issue to voters in 2020. 3 Florida Ballot Proposals Dominate Signature Gathering By News Service of Florida • Jul 10, 2019 With backers trying to get a series of high-profile constitutional amendments on the 2020 ballot, three proposals are dominating the critical process of collecting petition signatures. DeSantis Signs Controversial Law Adding Restrictions On Ballot Initiative Petitions By editor • Jun 10, 2019 Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed 38 bills, including a controversial measure that will make it harder for groups and citizens to put proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. Seven Florida Ballot Initiatives To Watch By Jim Saunders - News Service of Florida • May 22, 2019 Florida lawmakers this month approved a controversial bill that is expected to make it harder to put citizens' initiatives on the ballot. Vaping Ban Lands On DeSantis' Desk By editor • Apr 23, 2019 Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday received a bill (SB 7012) that would carry out a voter-approved ban on vaping and the use of electronic cigarettes in workplaces. 'Marsy's Law' Requests Records From Prosecutors By News Service of Florida • Apr 23, 2019 Backers of a November constitutional amendment designed to expand crime-victims' rights said Monday they have requested records from prosecutors across the state about how the amendment is being carried out. Florida Medicaid Expansion Bid Gathers Signatures By News Service of Florida Staff • Apr 16, 2019 Listen Listening... / Hear this story airing on 89.9 FM WJCT. With more than $400,000 in backing since the beginning of the year, a political committee seeking to expand Medicaid through a constitutional amendment has submitted more than 21,000 petition signatures to the state, according to the Florida Division of Elections website. Petitioners Petition To Make It Harder To Petition in Florida (Yes, You Read That Right) By News Service of Florida • Mar 18, 2019 Columbia City Blog /Flickr With state lawmakers also considering the idea, a political committee has filed a proposed ballot measure that could make it harder to amend the Florida Constitution. A committee known as Keep Our Constitution Clean PC filed the proposal last week at the state Division of Elections. Under it, passage of proposed constitutional amendments would require support from two-thirds of voters, up from the current 60 percent. Bundled Amendment Ban Heads To Florida Senate By Brendan Rivers • Mar 13, 2019 Listen Listening... / Hear this story airing on 89.9 FM WJCT. A Florida Senate bill that would ban the practice of "bundling" proposed constitutional amendments by the state's Constitution Revision Commission cleared the Rules Committee Wednesday and is now headed to the Senate floor for a full vote. Parkland Activists Launch Effort For A 2020 Ballot Amendment Banning Assault Weapons In Florida By Caitie Switalski • Feb 11, 2019 Caitie Switalski / WLRN Family members of victims from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas massacre and shooting survivor David Hogg launched on Monday an effort to get a constitutional amendment on the Florida ballot in 2020 that would ban the sale of assault weapons. Hogg and Gail Schwartz, who lost her 14-year-old nephew Alex Schachter at the Feb. 14, 2018 shooting, were among the group that dropped off 200 signed petitions to be certified at the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
